Disconnecting safely from the MacBook to time capsule

Hello

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I really would like some clarification.

I've set up my time capsule and I am just finishing my first return to the top of my rmbp via Ethernet.

When the backup is complete, what is the best method of separation of the rmbp and the time capsule?

That is to say. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the rmbp.

Is it OK to let the CAT6 connected to the CT for later use or can it have negative effects?

I have not yet joined the network wireless on my rmbp.

I just want to do all the right step gently,.

Thank you!

Yes, just unplug the cable at both ends and store it in the desk drawer.

Is it OK to let the CAT6 connected to the CT for later use or can it have negative effects?

Fine to leave it connected if you want for as long as you want.

I have not yet joined the network wireless on my rmbp.

Unplug the Ethernet cable before you configure the wireless connection.  Activate the Wireless 'off' when you want to reconnect the Ethernet cable.

  • Upgrade of the fourth Gen Time Capsule

    I have one Capsule 2 TB fourth generation model A1409) and it turned out to be very reliable.  Unfortunately, the installed HARD drive is finally running out of storage space and so I'm looking to upgrade.  I searched the web and found a lot on the Time Capsule hard drive upgrade, but the results are usually on other models and with smaller discs etc..

    If possible, I would like to install a reliable 4 TB drive in my fourth Gen T.C. to be used as a primary backup for my MacBook Pro retina and my machine to Windows 10 ASUS T300 CHI 2-in-1.

    Are 4 TB of HARD drive is compatible with the fourth Gen Time Capsule?  And someone has nested together that they can recommend please?

    I keep reading that the Hitachi drives are the best players generally ultra low failure rate, but all Hitachi drives seem to be 7200 rpm disks and I have also read that drives to 5400 RPM 'Green' are the best for the time Capsule as they run cooler and consume less energy?

    I also read that drives Apple used to use the Hitachi drives but now sometimes use Wester Digital Caviar Green, who seem to have fail decently low too, although not as good as Hitachi?

    If I install a reliable 4 TB of HARD drive, I'll be very happy.

    Thank you

    4 TB hitachi (but they belong no longer to hitachi, it is now divided between Toshiba and WD) are a green car. IE 5400 RPM.

    But the 4 TB WD Green are very good readers. These are now available in sizes up to 6 TB... Although I'd stick to 4 TB because it's as much data as you want to lose in a go. One of these drives work ok in the TC.

    Remember that all drives fail eventually. If you use the TC for something else that backups... also use a secondary backup as well.

    Also, Windows is not super great on a TC... It reads the disks in FAT32 and have 4 GB file limits. It is too slow... much more slow than buying a good NAS drive, or an external drive that can be in NTFS format.

    The drive used in the Gen4 is a WD Green. If it worked very well for now... That's already 3-4years or more, then it should be ok.

    Note the Gen4 may die suddenly... do not think that will happen if the real TC gives out.

  • To transfer the old backups Time Machine from a hard disk external to the airport in Time Capsule

    Is it possible to transfer the old Time Machine backups from my external hard drive to Time Capsule airport?

    Having done this in the past, I can say that it is possilble... but is not anywhere near the amount of time and effort it will take to do this.

    Even when I was successful, Time Machine has started a new backup of the Mac... it has not added on the old existing backups, so I lost a good part of the backup on the Time Capsule space.

    This will be easier if you keep just on the hard drive for a few months... in case you need to go back and pick up a file... While the time Capsule built a new story backups tons.  After 3 to 6 months, you will not need the old backups, and you can erase the disc and use it as a spare part.

    If you want to try it anyway... see this article: http://pondini.org/TM/18.html

  • MacBook Pro, Time Capsule airport?

    Hello people. I'm a NEW user of APPLE and Happy, BTW, pass over the PC. My Question is multiple.

    I have the most recent Comcast router/Modem, it is the most recent available 4 months ago has the WIFI GigHz 2,4 and 5.  Here my question is the hook to the top of this time Capsule I just purchased seamless, I read the comments until I'm blue in the face, and I have a headache. I extend my network because COMCAST is weak and Spotty at best all the time. I guess I could call support, but if someone is interested in Chiming in I'm all ears on the more 'easy' most reliable hook for higher reliability and better coverage. I can still sit in the front yard some maybe 50/70 FT from the router/Modem and I stamp or bad connection until my iPhone or MacBook Pro to find my neighbors WIFI and attach to it? On the other side of his house more away from me, and it has the same Exact service.

    Then, im looking to buy a speaker without wireless/Bluetooth set upwards. I watched this Look really nice, 1-2) SONOS. and (2) BOSE. I'm looking at the price range is $ 300 >$ 500 per speaker. Someone at - it system? And if so, their a few LAPS to snag one to the airport Time Capsule. SONOS web site is FULL of information, but some is confusing for me, I am "Not" a computer Wizard by any means whatsoever. I can do a few things, but not true Remy if you want. I am looking for a better WIFI that reaches out a little bit and dosent BUFFER, and can also be used for speakers without wireless/Bluetooth I want to buy soon. Thank you. Ken.

    I extend my network because COMCAST is weak and Spotty at best all the time.

    Just to let you know... You cannot extend the Comcast router using the CT by wireless. Which means that TC can never work as a Repeater.

    (Apple uses confusing terms... what they call extend wireless is coach throughout the world language).

    Plug the TC on the Comcast router by ethernet... and set the TC to extend by wire (which means ethernet).

    The easiest method is to just do it. Stop reading.

    Connect the TC on the Comcast.

    Open airport utility in your Mac.

    Click other devices with wireless (1)

    It will start the installation of the utility Wizard.

    Make the wizard... Follow all the instructions and put your favorite name for the wireless and TC.

    He should get it right in 90% of cases... If this isn't the case, put the screenshots of your installation.

    Sorry I can't meet the speaker setup... I do not know the Sonos and Bose works perfectly.

  • iMac causes the connection to Time Capsule Internet to lock up

    Whenever my iMac wakes up and connects to my Time Capsule via a Wi - fi, internet connection the TC freezes immediately for all connected devices, including the iMac.  I first noticed the issue on the iMac where internet was not accessible through any application on the system.  Then I went to my MacBook Pro, I found the same problem from happening.  Even on my iPhone and iPad.  I assumed it was an ISP issue and abandoned.

    A few hours later, I went back to my MBP and found the internet connection has been re-established and working properly.  I then went back and woke to my iMac and open Safari.  The field of the internet to a halt.  Back on my MBP connection was suspended again.  Now I think that my iMac was the problem, I turned off wifi on the iMac, and the page that I tried to load it on my MBP immediately came.

    Then I tried don't start the iMac in Mode safe mode to see if I could eliminate the problem... no chance.  Even in safe mode, when it is connected to on the wifi time capsule, the internet connection for the entire House grinds to stop.

    So, to summarize, when my iMac is awake and connected to my Time Capsule via wifi, internet connection for all devices connected to this wifi network hangs up completely.  The moment I turn off wifi on the iMac, the internet connection is restored immediately at full speed for all other devices on the network.

    I'm at a total loss about what to do next... any ideas?

    Please start the iMac in recovery mode. To connect to the network. The same thing happens?

  • Use the second router to extend the network to Time Capsule

    I have a v7.6.7 running Time Capsule 1 TB and older airport. I'm hoping to add a second router in a new location, and I use an ethernet cable from the TC at the new router (TP Link Archer C5), updated to the latest version of the firmware. The IP address of the TC is 192.168.1.1.

    I have set up my router C5 as follows: allocation of IP 192.168.1.199, value DHCP = off, and I connect a cable between the TC ports and port WAN (not Internet) available on the C5. In the C5 wireless settings, I tried both using the TC SSID and pw and creating a new SSID and pw. In both cases, the network will work for a short time, but eventually the entire network, including the TC, stops working. I made no changes to the parameters of the TC on any trial.

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router? If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router?

    Yes. That would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

    The key for a roaming network parameters are:

    • The 'primary' router must be configured as a router. In other words, it must have active NAT and DHCP services.
    • All other routers used in a network of roaming must be reconfigured as a bridge.
    • All routers must broadcast a Wi - Fi network that uses the same network (SSID, aka) name, and the type of wireless security, and the password.
    • All routers must be interconnected by Ethernet. To provide Powerline adapters using an Ethernet connectivity should also work.

    If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Should not really which is the main in the roaming network.

    I think at this point, your current circuit line. To check that, I would suggest that you consider to bring back the router C5 in the same room as you have the TC. Then connect it directly to one of the LAN of the TC ports. Complete the entire upward to a mobile network and test it. If everything works, bring back the C5 in the desired location, and then try again.

    If it fails, then the circuit line will be tested to check that it provides a solid 'Ethernet' connection between the adapters.

  • Migrate messages from the Macbook Air to new iMac 2012 2016

    How can I migrate all my messages (text, iMessage) of my Macbook Air to my new iMac 2012 2016? I have a lot of messages on my laptop and I want to migrate them to my iMac just to have them for reference/memory later. I do this because I would like to activate the monthly updating of message on my iPhone, so he won't have to queue all my messages it years ago and I am also reformat my old Macbook Air. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

    Messages and e-mail accounts and data are found in/Home/Library/Messages/and/Home/Library/Mail/files. Just copy the content to the same folders on the new computer.

    Or you can migrate your complete folder from the old computer to the new home. This can be done using the love at first sight between the two cable and on the new computer using target disk Mode use the Migration Wizard to migrate your application. It could also be run from a time Machine or another external backup drive.

    Migration will not overwrite any user account that has already been created on the new computer. MY simply creates a new Admin user account name. You will then need to switch to the newly migrated account.

  • Access the 4th generation Time Capsule data remotely in Mac and PC

    Hi all

    I intend to log in case Apple support, but my Service and Support coverage is already expired > _ <.

    Apple PC does not support mobile devices like IOS or android, so in this top, I'll focus on Mac and PC.

    Appreciate if you guys could give me advice on how to set it up properly.

    Material and Configuration:

    -ASUS RT-AC5300

    Firmware version: last 3.0.0.4.380_3341 - g25420f5

    IP: 192.168.1.1

    -Configured Port forwarding, Port 548 to 192.168.1.85 in ASUS router

    -Time Capsule from Apple 4th generation (Firmware version: 7.6.7 last)

    IP: 192.168.1.85

    -Cable for direct LAN connection between TC Apple and ASUS router

    I can access my Apple TC LAN for PC and Mac (for PC, installed the Base Station Agent from the airport, for Mac, I access it via the Finder with credentials for password)

    Tried several times to set the TC to be able to access remotely to both Mac and PC platform, also read many articles, no luck.

    Grateful if someone here can guide me on how to configure it so that it works correctly.

    In your Mac, in the finder, use Go, connect to the server.

    Type of AFP://yourpublicIP

    Download your public IP address of the router asus news... remote WAN you should use DDNS... iCloud is useless... disable in the TC... It does not work behind another router for most people.

    But you must use the public IP address or DDNS address... It is available in the Asus firmware. Best is to buy a static public IP address from your ISP... This is the only reliable method... is worth a bit of money on a dynamic IP.

    This is unnecessary for Windows computer... Access SMB is usually blocked by ISP and Windows does not support AFP.

    Please post your pictures directly here... It's so much easier, then, for us to see.

    I don't know what the cause of the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

    He has worked in the past and now could not or never worked?

    Apple routers can sometimes decide autonomously switch to bridge mode. If your cable modem is not a router, you MUST have the apple router... TC in your case DHCP and NAT mode.

    If you have not done before you reset the TC at the factory and re-do the installation. Here are my recommendations.

    Universal factory reset

    Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

    NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

    The installer the TC.

    Then redo the configuration of the computer that you want to use for TM using Airport utility.

    1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

    for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

    If the wireless is still an issue defined wireless names like TC24ghz and assigned the 5 GHz other name... eg.TC5ghz.

    Finally, use fixed channels in 2.4 ghz... try 11, 9 and 6, in that order.

    (leave the security for a few minutes and see if that makes a difference).

    For iphone and TV with problems in your Setup program ensure that the TC is NAT and DHCP... try to use a different such as google public DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

    ** 3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

    If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC.

    Ignore this point if you don't understand it... after the return if you drop questions.

    4. be sure that IPv6 is set correctly in the computer. IE link-local only for ethernet or wireless depending on whether you are using. Car is not good enough.

    Tell us which modem cable, you have, make and model please?

    The TC has problems with some popular brands... one of the SB series a modem port is malfunctioning.
