• How to see files saved on my Time Capsule airport? All I see is the name of my hardrive.

  I have recently started using Apple's Time Capsule airport and use it for my Time Machine backups. When I used Time machine in the post with an external hard drive, I can go and see all the backups and individual files, if I needed to. However, with my new Time Capsule airport, I don't see the name of my hard drive. Is there a setting someone to reveal all the files and individual backups?

  If you want to see the files Time Machine has saved on your Mac...

  Click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac

  Click on enter Time Machine

  For more information about Time Machine, see this Apple support document: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple supported

  However, if you are asking how to see the files that Time Machine has saved time using the Finder Capsule...

  Click on the Time Capsule icon under the heading Shared in a Finder window

  A disc hard... named 'Data' unless you have changed the name... is displayed on the right

  Double click 'Data' (may asked you the peripheral Time Capsule password when you do this)

  Double-click the sparsebundle bearing the name of your Mac

  A reader named Time Machine backups will appear on the desktop

  Open the drive and go through the levels to find the files you want

• Time Capsule airport 10057 error: computer recognizes airport exists but cannot connect

  Hello everyone. I am currently unable to access the NAC on my Time Capsule Airport (not HQ one), as my password seems incorrect. However, this issue of mix, I am unable to connect using AirPort Utility at the Time Capsule airport in order to use a "soft reset". I can't push the button, but after that, it is impossible to actually access the settings from the airport using the utility.

  I'm on Windows 8, using the AirPort Utility for Windows 8.

  I tried the following:

  • every possible permutation of IPv4/6
  • a_l'_aide_de CTRL + SHIFT + O, and then perform one) I don't have the password and b) if I type in gibberish it gives me another error (-6753)
  • disconnect, reconnect, reboot, etc, etc.

  Just to be clear:

  • I know that the WIFI password
  • I know the old password to the NAC
  • I do not know how to change the password of the NAC
  • My shift caps lock is not on

  After a soft reset of the password is public... What have you tried?

  There is no password on the wireless for 5 minutes during the soft reset.

  In any case to fix... doing a factory reset full. No files are lost in the process.

  Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

  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.

  Make sure you use ethernet to connect to the TC, not wireless. It tends to work better that windows wireless Gets a bit NARKY...

  If you don't know what that means NARKY... and I don't know what means NAC.

• time capsule airport cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found

  I just purchased a Time capsule airport and can't install. It flashes orange, and although that Time Machine backs up on it, and I can access the internet, I don't remember upward the back-up because I got the following error message:

  "'Airport Time Capsule' could not open the original item cannot be found".

  The printer is connected to the Capsule by USB works.

  I'm installing via an iMac.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  You first need to determine what is at stake that indicates the LED "blinking orange.

• How can I change the name of the ion HD my Time Capsule airport

  My time capsule airport has changed its name to data and now I can't use it. What can I do?

  Not sure why you can't use 'Data' as the name of the disk hard Time Capsule, since it is the default value.

  But, if you want to change the name of 'Data' to something else...

  Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Click on the image of the time Capsule

  Click on edit in the window that appears

  Click the disks at the top of the next window

  Next to Partitions, you will see "Data".

  Click directly on the name of 'Data' and the box will change to allow you to edit the name, just as you can change the name of any other player

  In the example below, I changed the name of the drive 'safeguards '.

• 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.

• 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.

• How to transfer pictures directly from my nokia lumia 930 to my time capsule airport

  is this possible? over time, I have accumulated a few GB of pictures I want to transfer to airport Time Capsule? How can I do? My "macbook air" on the iPhotos say loading for the last hour and nothing moves?

  Help, please?

  It is not possible to transfer pictures directly in the TC.

  You need to connect the camera to the computer. Copy the files to the computer... Then copy the files into a directory for the TC... you don't need to use iphoto to make... you are actually better store directly on the TC raw file images, especially if your MBA is now insufficient to disk.

• My Airport Time Capsule can act as a WIRELESS access point

  Hello.

  I brought a Time Capsule with my Mac Pro. It worked well since yesterday.

  I have set up the time Capsule as a WIFI, bypass at my local network access point. There is a router (cable) works at home.

  It's my Mac Pro AirPort Utility and my iPhone, my Time Capsule is displayed with an exclamation point saying "device not found". I can't connect to the disk on this subject by afp share, or smb. Time Machine function is gone too. He failed trying to connect to the share drive from another computer connected to the time Capsule by cable network.

  But at the same time, WiFi works well.

  I tried to recycle energy. Sharing disk will be available. But if I start the Time Machine backup, it will not be a few seconds.

  Any idea?

  Thank you.

  There are several posts here related the issue.

  Luckily, you have set up your new Time Capsule for Back to My Mac (BTMM)?

  If so, the 'temporary' solution is to delete/disable the option of the CCMM, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
  • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  If you have not enabled CCMM, we have other options for you to try.

• Time Capsule airport problems

  I have several questions, setting up a home network, but I want to start with the problems I have with the time Capsule.

  Until 2 days ago, the time Capsule was working fine.  My setup is the ISP router connected to the Capsule of time and the Time Capsule hard connections on a USB for extra storage and ethernet to an iMac.  Also several peripherals wifi like the pads and phones.  No problems.

  This past weekend, I started to set up a home network by adding an ethernet (TP Link TL SG108E) switch to one of the ports ethernet on the Time Capsule.  Of the switch, I have then several ports around the House (recently redone to include an Ethernet cat. 5) connected now to two Apple TV and a security system at home.  No other device is currently connected to the ports and all connected devices work without any problem.

  The time capsule.  In the past 24 hours, the time Capsule disappeared from Airport utility.  I can see the wireless signal and connect to it.  I use the time for constant Time Machine backups Capsule and continue without any problem.  I can see the Capsule in the Finder, can connect you and the USB that I have connected to the time Capsule, but no time Capsule in the utility.

  My future plan must use two of the ports around the House with Airport Express devices to expand the WIFI, but as I can't see Time Capsule in the utility and I can't install Express devices.  However I tried to put in place one of the Airport Express devices and the process has begun to extend the Time Capsule network, but then I got a message "unexpected error".  So, first thing first, problem of Time Capsule.

  Any ideas?

  Let's first, as you note.

  Your message did not mention if you had done a full Cycle of power network. If you have not already done so, it would be a good fundamental mission of troubleshooting to be performed, because he will give everything a new departure and will often solve a problem similar to what you experience. To do this...

  • Power off all the devices on your network... modem, computers, printers, accessories, mobile devices, etc. in any order you want.
  • Wait a few seconds
  • Turn on the modem and let it run only for 2 to 3 minutes or more if you want
  • Then, switch on the device connected to the modem and leaves turn a good minute
  • Keep power devices one at a time about a minute out until the entire network is back
  • Check the network
