Can I access HARD Time Capsule disk using my devices iOS or PC?

I'll buy an AirPort Extreme or airport Time Capsule. So I currently don't have a Mac, can I access the HDD of my iOS devices TC or PC as Network Attached Storage?

Yes, if you download and install an application like FileBrowser on iPhone and iPad. More details here: Stratospherix - FileBrowser - overview

Yes, if you open Internet Explorer on the PC and type the IP address of the time Capsule or AirPort Extreme network and press ENTER.   Example... \\192.168.1.10

If you decide on AirPort Extreme, don't forget to format the USB hard disk in Mac OS Extended journaled.

  • Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder?

    Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder on my MAC?

    "Devices" are connected directly to a Mac and would include things like USB hard drive, FireWire drive and Thunderbolt drive, etc.

    The Capsule is a "network" connected to a network drive... If the operating system on your Mac behave, Time Capsule will appear in the Shared section.

    If you have added a NAS (Network Attached Storage) disk, this product would also appear in the Shared section.

    A wireless printer can also appear under shared.

  • How can I configure Time Capsule 3 to and Motorola NVG589 to access the Time Capsule backup drive?

    I have ATT Uverse service and am ok with the performance of the WiFi of the NVG589. I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network and be able to access the drive for backups Time Machine. I think I am following the steps in Airport utility, but once installation is complete I can find is no longer the time Capsule.

    I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network

    The time Capsule cannot "extend" the network Uverse using a wireless connection, if that's maybe what you're trying to do. The time Capsule can only wireless "extend" the signal of another router from Apple.

    The Capsule can be configured to extend the network to Uverse if it is connected permanently... anytime... to the Uverse router using a connection through wired Ethernet cable.

    Please specify on what you're trying to accomplish, so that we can provide the correct steps.

  • How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

    I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

    One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

    My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

    So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

    This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

    TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

    All you have to do is open TM...

    Go to the date when the user has always existed.

    Now in the finder as the interface.

    Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

    Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

    It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

    Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

    Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

    Our great master guru on this stuff is Pondini, who died some time ago... and it is a few obsolete versions... but it is always interesting to read.

    About the use of configuration and migrate...

    http://pondini.org/TM/home.html

    The real using TM

    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

    The restoration is Q14-17 and fairly detailed.

    I made an example using method pondini... just iphoto, but gives a good idea how do...

    Cannot access old files on time capsule

    If you want to just retrieve the documents folder say... Then, you can use the same method... Simply select the entire folder.

    The permissions problems arise often... but once the files on your local disk, you can correct them.

  • no access to Time Capsule

    Hello, thank you in advance for your help - I really hope that someone can offer helpful advice on this:

    I've had my Time Capsule since 11 end and he has never had a single problem. Nearly a month ago it suddenly started failing to save and to give this message:

    The backup disk image ' / Volumes/Data/nexthursday.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).

    The password to access the disk, the name is correct, the network works perfectly on all devices, printer is powered AirPrint through it; basically everything kept working as before, it is just the synchronization with the disk that suddenly stopped.

    What happens is I run the backup (right now I keep automatic backups because they are just useless); I chose the disk; type the password, accepted; It will of "Looking for backup disks" to "Preparing for backup"-now this phase lasts too long, in fact it crashes and after a few minutes, I get the "the backup disk image ' / Volumes/Data/nexthursday.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).»

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I'm terribly afraid that I was not able to save anything, for a month now, and I worked madly so I can't afford to lose everything if something happens.

    Info:

    MacBook Pro Late 11 running OS X 10.11.5

    Time Capsule 2 TB (same time as the laptop)

    Thank you once again,

    Chiara

    End TC 2011 is now 5years old or very close. (It might even be a hardware version 3).

    The usual recommended the TC lasts 3 years... also he will lose reliability and more than 5 years, I would put replacement as head of list.

    Forget trying to fix it.

    If you are at all concerned about your backups... go out and buy a 2 TB or more large USB key... do it now, do it NOW.

    Which plug in your laptop and the installation disk... must be HFS + formatted.

    I recommend that partition into two parts... Use Carbon Copy Cloner or similar for the partition to boot and TM for the secondary partition. Have a clone bootable your computer will get you upwards and in a few minutes.

    It is faster and more reliable and much cheaper than the replacement of the TC. Expect that Apple will release a new version of the TC before buying again as the current one, we're now > 3 years on the market and the design of 4 years.

    You can continue to use the TC as a router until it dies.

  • I had to remove my dead time capsule disk

    My system was struck by lightning and power surge battery back up to breath too. I lost my iMac, I could get all the hard drives from the inside, I'm working on an old iMac long story short, back to Time capsule, he also failed.  It was absolutely not usable, we removed the disk to save the hard drive.  I connected via USB to a hub of travel and it is what is inside. Inside 'data' are the discs and my back ups. Is it possible to get these back ups to be read by the program Time Machine, so I can restore stuff? Thank you!

    Yes, for sure... the Backups.backupdb standing inside the sparsebundle is your backup. TM can connect to it.

    Simply open the Migration Wizard and select the disk of TC and the source.

  • Suddenly, MB Pro can not save on Time Capsule

    A month earlier, out of nowhere, I get a time error message:

    "Backup failed."

    Time Machine could not save in "XXX Time Capsule."   Then in details:

    "Time Machine could not complete the backup for"XXX Time Capsule".

    "The backup disk image" / Volumes/XXX of MacBook Pro (4) .sparsebundle of the Time Capsule/XXX ' could not be found (error (null)) "." "

    Have restarted the T.C. and just updated the firmware - no help.  OS X version is up-to-date.  Nothing has changed I know. Full to 98% of the time Machine, but it has been like this for a long time and just deletes old entries, as it should.

    Any thoughts?  I was able to empty the contents of the time capsule, I suppose, if being near capacity could be the culprit.   ???

    Thank you!

    Being near capacity should not be the problem, but of course, everything is possible.

    If Time Machine backups are essential for you, I suggest that you check first of all in existing ones to another drive. Then erase the time Capsule drive and start a new Time Machine backup.

    You can do both archive and delete measures directly from AirPort Utility, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility and then select the time Capsule.
    • Select Edit.
    • Select the disks tab.
    • For the process of archiving, select Archive disk...
    • For the delete process, select erase disc...
  • Using Time Capsule airport on 2 devices

    for some reason, I have a PET of brain here and do not understand this.

    My wife has a laptop computer macpro she does his grad school stuff on.   I have an iMac.   I also have the time capsules from the airport.  the woman is set up with time machine, it sends data via wifi to the time capsule. It is very good.  The mine records at the same Time capsule airport wireless.

    ME, I would use one different wifi router other than the airport on another network device I have, however, the question is: is it possible that I can keep the wifi for the operation of the Apple device and connect my computer via ethernet to the device for the back upward only, using the capsule on the imac.

    I think I can, but I don't want to screw up the wireless network.

    You can use both ethernet and wireless at the same time... but it becomes complicated with the gateway router and DNS values.

    Secondary wireless router should use another address LAN IP for the TC, so you can separate the two networks.

    This could lead to further questions about the network although because you must plug a router into the other I presume... unless you are completely isolate the TC from the internet or if you have in fact two internet connections.

    Give me the real details.

    What is the second router and IP is running?

    How is the installation of TC and what IP is running?

    Screenshots that make it easier.

    I did a write up with screenshots here, which will give you the basics.

  • How can I unforget airport Time Capsule?

    I was in the Airport utility and 'forgotten' my Time Capsule airport.  The most convenient airport seems to work very well, but I can see it is no longer in the graphical presentation.  How can I fix so that I see once more the airport?

    Try a cycle of complete nutrition of the network as follows:

    Power off all devices... modem, routers, computers, iPhones, printers, etc. in the order you want

    Wait a minute

    Start the modem and let it run alone for a few minutes

    The device connected to the modem to start and keep running a minute

    Keep the commissioning of the devices at once a minute outside until the entire network is back

    Check if the airport appears now and communicate your results.

    IF... the airport does not appear in the utility AirPort... are you still using OS X (10.7.4) on your Mac, you put in your profile, or you have updated to a more recent operating system?  If so, what system would be that?

  • Can't get the Time Capsule network to see Airport Extreme?

    I have a network set up through my Time Capsule and I want to express with my Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't get the network to see Airport Extreme - or rather, we'll see, but when I try to connect to it, it starts to connect, and then I get an unexpected error. I tried to restore both their factory settings and did a restore forced several times to the Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. I made sure to affect my IPv6 link-local only, I've even re-created my network several times (always with the Capsule of time as the main base station, but nothing seems working.

    Any ideas would be very useful.

    The Airport Extreme and time Capsule have been purchased during the last month, and I'm under OS10.11.1

    First of all, try to update your software El Capitan to the current version of operation... 10.11.4... which was supposed to solve some of the bugs that cause the message "unexpected error".

    If still no help, try using an iPhone or an iPad for the configuration.  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.
