  Can I use a Time Capsule 2 TB model a1409 as a backup hd?

  Potentially Yes. Your goal is to use the time Capsule to back up or duplicate Macintosh HD to your MacBook Pro? In the first case, you would use just Time Machine. For the latest, you can use third-party utilities, such as Carbon Copy Cloner or data backup to name a few.

  Whatever utility use you it can work with the Capsule of time as a backup destination.

• Can I use old time capsule for storage only with a new airport extreme (standard want latest HQ)?

  I have a time Capsule elders (802.11n). I would like to know if I can still use this time Capsule only as a network storage device, if I decide to build my network with a new Airport Extreme (802.11ac). If I can do that, how would I set up the network to continue automatic backups with a router to update?

  To do what you want, the new AirPort Extreme 802.11ac would be installed as the "main" network router The time Capsule would be connected to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection, and the time Capsule should be configured to run in bridge with the service Mode Wireless off.

  Any Mac you want to save in the time Capsule would need to have Time Machine preferences on each Mac adjusted to ensure that the time Capsule has been set as the target for backup.

  If you decide to add the AirPort Extreme, post back for more information at this time, if you need installation instructions step by step.

  You already have another router Apple... as an AirPort Extreme or Airport Express that provides the signal of your wireless network?

  If not, what is the serial number and model of your modem?

  Finally, what operating system is installed on the device you will use to install and configure the time Capsule? If it's a Mac and you're not sure what operating system it uses... click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac, and post back with number of Version of OS X that you see there.

• Can I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive for my xbox one?

  My Xbox One has only to a 500G hard drive, so I can't download all my games.  Can I use my Time Capsule instead?

  I don't think so.. An Xbox supports USB drives.

  It will be the reformat format xbox for games... you can not download games on general storage... you can use it for the media.

  Any SIN should work as a source for the media... but TC is a mute like a hard disk of Board of Directors in a router if you still need a PC to offer support to the network.

• Can I use my time capsule for wired Internet?

  The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

  The back story: I have an i7 iMac late 2009 that has worked perfectly until that somewhere around OS x Lion. The update came, and suddenly the wifi became shotty; intermittent connectivity that could last from 2 hours to 2 minutes and often, the computer would suddenly turns off. So, I just took an Ethernet cable from my gateway wireless comcast directly to my time capsule and then another was running for the TC to the iMac. It worked perfectly when the router and the iMac were in the same room. Since then, we moved and there is only a single coaxial connection of work in the new House, and this room that can hold your desktop. Now, I searched high and low for a fix for the problem of wifi, without success; reset the PRAM, change the wireless channel reset wireless packet, you name it I tried it (with the exception of a reinstallation of firmware lion before the airport summary-pretend). I really do not have the money to have someone come run an Ethernet cable through my walls now or to understand the situation of coaxial cable (I tried to do it me but there are about 10 outputs and the room that I want to use seems to actually be connected directly on a former satellite Hughes-NET on the side of the House). Now, this wireless to the dream of the Ethernet connection is my only option... Anyway I can make it work?

  The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

  The answer is not quite as simple.

  Yes... If your 'hand' wireless router is another Apple wireless router.

  No.... If your 'hand' wireless router is a part 3.

  However, you have two options if you have a 3rd party router that provides to your wireless network:

  (1) add an AirPort Express and it set up to 'join' the network wireless provided by your 3rd party product. Then, the AirPort Express can provide wired Ethernet cable of the Time Capsule and the iMac can connect to the time Capsule using Ethernet as well.

  (2) If you can not run the Ethernet cable... (always the best performance option)... a pair of Ethernet over Powerline adapters could be able to send the Ethernet signal via power lines the existing AC in your House.  In other words, the theory with EoP devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you must just adapters.

  An adapter would be located near your router 'primary' and plugged into an outlet. A short Ethernet cable connects to the router to the EoP adapter.  In contrast, an another EoP adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the time Capsule and a short Ethernet cable connects from the adapter to the time Capsule. Then, the iMac connects to time Capsule using a different Ethernet cable as well.

• Can you use a time capsule to back up a HP computer to window 10

  I have a new HP laptop and want to use my time Capsule to do the backup

  Things would be tons easier if you purchased a USB simple and plugged directly on the HP laptop for backups.

  If you really don't want to do things the hard way... you will need software of PC which is able to save to a network drive.  95% of the product to PC Backup software does not back up to a network drive.

• Can I use a time capsule airport as my external hard drive?

  I have all the products in my house, 5 iPhones apple, 2 MacBooks, an iPad and an apple tv Setup.

  1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

  2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router? If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better? If anyone could break it down into secular terms and highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages , I'd greatly appreciate it.

  
  

  (If your wondering I use my Macbook to store a LOT of music, photos, and surf the internet).

  Purchase of a disk external drive for my Macbook Pro is on the top of my to do list, I currently don't have 15 GB of free storage. I know that's not enough space for the computer to function properly. I definitely don't want what I just bought in March. Im trying to learn more about this kind of thing would have made very different when buying my Macbook if I could go back to March.I would be easily paid for the 256 GB of flash storage and would have probably just waited to buy it at all, until the so-called new macbook arrives soon.

  Once again thank you to all those who can help you!

  1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

  Although the Capsule is primarily designed to be used in conjunction with Time Machine for backups, it can be used as a network drive for file storage.

  2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router?

  He does. In simple terms, you can think of the time Capsule as a wireless router with an Ethernet switch and HDD.

  If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better?

  Not really. Your Apple products are designed to work with routers wireless of any manufacturer, not only those provided by Apple. However, Apple routers are simple to implement and the application to administer is available on both the Mac and iOS devices. There is a version that works on Windows PCs, but is currently outdated and does not support to administer the current base station 802.11ac airport.

• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

• Time Capsule as the Red unit

  Hi, my question is if the time Capsule can be configured as a network drive on my Mac. Right now I have a Mac Air with 64 GB and storage little, I should keep my pictures and videos on an external drive, but which is available at all times.

  This is a frequently asked question and the answer is, Yes, but with reservations.  This is one of the many good write-up by LaPastenague: use Time Capsule as a network (file server) drive?

  The only addition I would make is today, there is a backup software product called ChronoSync that can back up discs Time Capsule, inside and outside, on a regular basis.

• What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

  I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

  The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

  Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

  Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.
