• How many ethernet modem ports should have to support the airport Time Capsule

  I have a question: how many ethernet ports if a modem must support the airport Time Capsule?

  One (1)

• Airport Time Capsule ethernet and WiFi installation

  I am trying to set up my home network, but also, somehow, the practice run for the configuration of my future business...

  Here is the component.

  -Modem: Fast 5250 BELL FIBE Home Hub 2000.

  -Airport Time Capsule 1 t (a big)

  -AirPort Extreme (large)

  -AirPort Express (size of the Apple TV)

  Here are the different coverage area and device usually used in the:

  -office: Printer via USB or ethernet, ethernet MacPro, 2xMacBookAir.

  -Living room: Smart TV, Apple TV2, PS4 (all via ethernet if possible) as well as a bunch of iOS devices and laptop computer via a Wi - Fi connection

  -In room: IOS, Apple TV via Wi - Fi device.

  So good, here's the catch, the modem's in the entry closet surrounded by concrete, so I close the Wi - Fi on it. Cable Ethernet running from there, at the office, upstairs room and the main living area. The plan was to put the TimeCapsule 1 t in the office, extreme in the living room and express on the floor. But I already have problems that they can't be all connect via Ethernet in the modem... Oh! What a mess, he made... So I saw on the support page from apple, is it better to put the airport Time capsule 1 t as principal to create the network. So if I put the Capsule in the closet as the main will be backup my stuff via ethernet?

  Also, I have the older version of Time Capsule (dish 500 GB). Shud I use it as the main airport will be connected to it via ethernet anyway?

  And finally, I connect to the modem using PPPoE bell hand and another airport the main via Bridge DHCP mode. Is this fair?

• Time Capsule backup not available without reboot disk

  I have the latest generation of time capsule, but my MBP cannot find the disc inside after restarting the device.  After a restart of the time Capsule the requested backup will take place without any problems, but if I ask another backup later, I again get an alert saying that the disk is not found, requiring another restart. This "solves" the problem, as the MBP can now find the disk and the backup takes place, but the whole point of Time Machine is supposed to be to provide Automatic backgroundbackups.  Any ideas?

  The problem is well known.

  Seen here all the time. Solutions are not so easy.

  We need to know the configuration of the entire network.

  This modem you have, make and model please?

  How is the TC connected and in what mode?

  Is the Mac directly connected to the CT or via the modem that works as gateway?

• Time Capsule do not write back ups.

  I have a continuous problem with Time Capsule, writing of backups.  After having no problems for a couple of years, TC is now fails to write backup every 3-4 weeks and I found no cause or a solution to the problem.

  TC shows well in the finder, the sparsebundles are there.  Time Machine creates the sparsebundles as usual and will make backups normally for about 3 or 4 weeks.  The error message is displayed "Backup failed" and said that Time Machine is unable to write to the file.  At this time there the existing backup is lost, I have found no way to recover.   I wiped the hard drive via Airport utility, recreated the backup only to fail again in 3 to 4 weeks.

  I've set up another 3 TB HD connected to the iMac USB and have TM write backups on it without problem while the HD TC continues to fail.

  MPB worked until this week and today shows the same error.

  My setup is pretty simple.  iMac connected to TC via ethernet, MBP connected via ethernet.  iMac backup to internal 2 TB on TC's MBP backup 1 TB external connected to the USB TC.

  Apple support suggested that the problem is a bad ethernet cable.  I tried to replace the ethernet cable, no change.  Turn off ethernet using wifi, no change.

  It is not a problem of space, on both drives only half of the available space is used.

  Someone at - he speculate as to the cause and the cure.  It seems to me that the problem is related to the connectivity of TC, the ports are bad?   This is my 3rd TC in 6 years, not real happy with reliability!

  Unfortunately, the TC is probably more reliable products Apple... my opinion.

  It seems that the surface of the disc to the hard drive of TC has one or more faults that are causing backups corrupted after some time. The only good solution is to replace the hard drive inside the TC or replace the TC itself.

  If you think that the surface of the disk is OK on the TC (I don't have, based on the experience), the only other thing to try is a full erase of the TC hard drive using zero on AirPort Utility.  It will probably take 4 to 6 hours or more depending on the size of the player you have on your TC.

  If you don't want to lose the backups to other Macs, you need to copy to another drive before you delete the TC, then copy on once the operation is complete.

• 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.

• Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

  Hello.

  Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

  Concerning

  Simon

  Hello Ladro Maltese,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

  This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

  Keep your base station to day.

  After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

  Best regards

• Migration of data from Time Capsule for external hard drive

  On previous posts, I received advice to use a single TC to buy a new one, with the intention to use them both as backups Time Machine for three different Mac. So right now, I have a 5th generation unique Time Capsule of my network that serves as a backup for three Macs drive. The older TC is still connected, but only until he ends the disc, which transfers to a 3 TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra HD, connected directly to the TC via USB to archiving.

  The old TC is filled up to 1.99 TB, and I imagine that it would take a long period of time to archive and copy all of this info, but the process is already underway for more than 24 hours, and it always shows 1 day 0:31:59 is this normal? Do I have to cancel and try another method?

  Shared experiences or advice will be appreciated.

  See you soon!

  BTW, I don't like the new layout of this post!

  Unfortunately, these can take a long time. I suggest that you let it run for at least 24 hours and then see where is the check-in process. So again, it doesn't show much progress later, let know us and we can provide you with possible options.

• Time Capsule do not pick up address DHCP and cable modem...

  You just bought a Time Capsule and a couple of Airport Express. If none of these devices are connected together via Ethernet, they seem to have set themselves up, and all is well.

  That being said, I tried to create a mobile network instead of pure wi - fi and am studying various behaviors that are not as expected when I rear hub to the Internet Time Capsule, but need to isolate and go 1 bit at a time... (it works not as well as suggest Apple instructions on homelessness of installation)...

  If:

  1. configuration of the modem cable shows that DHCP is 'ON' and supplied address range 192.168.0.x by 192.168.0.y,.

  2 Cable modem wireless is disabled,

  3 Time Capsule Wan is connected to the cable modem, Ethernet

  4 Time Capsule is configured to request its address IP, DHCP

  5. Airport Express is in Bridge mode and have addresses such as 10.x.y.z (appears to be from a Time capsule).

  6. safe as Time Capsule is set to be as DHCP and NAT

  7. There is NO other device in this configuration connected by Ethernet except the cable Modem and the Time Capsule.

  So, why is the IP address of the time Capsule 76.181.45.xyz? (The address is NOT in the range of the DHCP as described in the #1; it is not supposed to be?) ....

  Whence this address?

  A friend says this address puts the "other side" Time Capsule of the cable Modem, directly on the Net?... (Shouldn't worry?) ....

  If none of these devices are connected together via Ethernet, they seem to have set themselves up, and all is well.

  It's because you didn't have the devices connected via Ethernet before you set up the. Given that the installation utility saw a wireless connection, it is assumed that this was the way that you want to connect devices on your network at all times... so he put it this way.

  If you had an established connection Ethernet before you ran the installer, then the utility would have detected this connection and set up the airport to "expand using Ethernet", does not extend to assistance of wireless.

  (it works not as well as suggest Apple instructions on homelessness of installation)...

  If all goes well, you don't talk about this document... Wi - Fi base stations: extend the reach of your network wireless by adding additional base stations Wi - Fi - Apple Suppo... .. Since the 'how' information in this article is at least 4 years late, bear little resemblance to the latest version of AirPort Utility and some of the information are simply not true.  This document if trash is what you... He'll probably do more harm than good with regard to the details of setting.  The article is OK for basic general information, however.

  6. safe as Time Capsule is set to be as DHCP and NAT

  It should not be if your modem is a modem/router "" or type 'bridge' of the device which is also DHCP and NAT services. The fact that you have disabled the wireless on the device confirms that it is both a modem AND a router. That being the case, then you have two devices that both struggling among themselves to try to control the same network... AND do you also have a network error called Double NAT... something you don't want.

  Probably the best at everything again and provide us with the number of brand and model of your "modem", that we can confirm what it is that you have, then the correctly configured time Capsule to work with this device. Once the time Capsule is set up correctly, it will be easy to put in place the other airports.

• Encryption of the existing backups on Time Capsule

  I have old backups on my TC since 2009. I need them and I don't want to lose them. But I also want to encrypt and have access to all backups in Time Machine, because of private and confidential data. This procedure might work?

  • Open the Time Machine pane in system preferences.
  • Turn off time Machine then click on the button "Select Disk... ».
  • Remove your current backup disk.
  • Then, simply select the drive as your backup once more and check the option "Encrypt backups" and enter a password for the backup. Apple will now encrypt the entire disk backup - including your previous backups.
  • Finally, turn on Time Machine, and you're all set!

  http://www.mactrast.com/2013/07/how-to-public-how-to-encrypt-time-machine-backup s-with-os-x.

  Thank you!

  In theory, this will work.  In the practice, this work probably, but... and that's a very big BUT... it's going to take forever and a day to encrypt all the backups of the old man, which is something that the article forgot to mention.

  Even if you have your Mac connected to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable... it will take days and perhaps more than a week for the initial process to complete, depending on the amount of data you have on the Time Capsule.

  A lot can go wrong over the days and days of a backup, so if you decide to try this... Make sure you have at least a copy or an Archive... of all the data on the Time Capsule disk... before... .you start the encryption process.

• On my time capsule airport

  Hello I have a problem with my Time Capsule 802.11ac airport

  I was using it OK but after that I got a new modem from my ISP I can't connect to internet

  and here is a picture of the problem

  Can someone tell me what is happening?

  Any time that you change your network hardware, it's always a good idea to carry out a new round of full power of this hardware. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details. Please post back your results.

• Time Capsule Compatible Hub powered

  I have a 6th gen airport Time Capsule and use a WD Passport as my Time Machine backup off-site.  I've been running TM very well with the Passport attached directly to the port USB TC, but I read that might go beyond the limits of the power of usb TC and may cause premature failure then decided to add a powered USB hub.  But the two I tried (because I had spare them), cutting and Satechi not older or newer than 2014, USB 3.0, failure.  The Passport is not recognized when connected to two these self-powered hubs. Yet the two hubs works when connected directly to the iMac.

  I know TC have little memory for the support of USB driver and it seems that I found two self-powered hubs TC do not LIKE.  I was wondering if those who know a hub USB powered this 6th generation TCs as will post here so I buy one I know will work.

  One of the problems is that USB chips can change without notice on the models at low prices...

  I think you will have better luck with the hubs USB 2... because apple used USB 2 port.

  

  You can find these ones on ebay and in stores under many brands.

  

  

  There is no mark on them... Just says HUB

  When I plug it into the Mac, it shows as

  USB 2.0 Hub:

  Product ID: 0 x 0101

  Vendor ID: 0x1a40 (TERMINAL TECHNOLOGY INC.)

  Version: 1.11

  Speed: up to 480 Mb/s

  Location ID: 0xfa124000 / 7

  Available current (mA): 500

  Current (mA): 100

  As you can see I have a voltage and the ammeter on the USB port... It's called doctor USB charger... great gadget for $2 or less on ebay.

  I see the hard drive connected to the TC has no trouble pulling the necessary start running... around 700ma... but drawing on the 320ma during normal use... as long as you do not exceed 500 my normal operation, it will be very well connected live.

  The old TC had a diet underestimated... a new 60W power and should not draw more 30W during their use.

• Password protect an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule

  I have a WD passport external hard drive connected to my time capsule, so my wife and I can easily share files. I have the external hard drive connected through the locked time capsules WiFi network so someone in the House can not access however if they walked the time capsule and not plugged in the external hard drive they could walk away with it. When I try to password protect external hard drive then time capsule may not recognise, and so I can't use it as an external hard drive that is shared. No one knows how, to password protect the external hard drive connected to the time capsule as if someone physically stole the external hard drive it would be locked, but have yet still recognizable by Time Capsule when I plugged?

  Hope that makes sense.

  The only way to do is to encrypt the files on the computer.

  And you both use the same password. Unfortunately, this probably means that you can not share files directly... The TC is not a SIN... never, it was designed for this purpose so there no controls to help admin file sharing.

  If you create a DMG file on WD drive that encrypt you and you can copy files to and from... but only one at a time.

  Another method would be to use a specific software... Watch chronosync.

  http://www.econtechnologies.com/Chronosync/guide-sync-with-disk-image.html

  I don't him have not run in this configuration... so, you have to experiment if it manages what you want.

  I think that there will always be limitations on concurrent access from multiple computers.
