How can I add a HD to my time capsule

My old man (8 years) 2 t Time Capsule is running out of backup space for 3 machines that use it in our House.  How can I add 2T HD expansion make it last a few more years?

It is easy to add a USB drive to the USB port at the back of the time Capsule to increase storage capacity, but this will have nothing to do with the internal player on the Time Capsule.  In other words, you have two drives separated ... one on the Capsule and the other on the USB attached to the time Capsule.

If you begin to move the USB disk attached to the time Capsule backups, then Time Machine will do a new full backup of every Mac and then continue with incremental backups.

Make sure that the USB to the Time Capsule that is formatted to work with Mac.  This would mean that it must be formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled).

  • How can I save a USB on my time capsule with time machine?

    Hello

    I just bought an external USB flash/thumb drive, believing I could extend the memory of my currently complete macbook (OS X 10.7.5), while maintaining an up-to-date backup of everything on my Time Capsule. (I was planning on dumping my pictures/videos on the new USB and free up space on my macbook).

    I already formatted the flash drive USB is now 'Mac OS external (journaled). I then tried to remove the exclusion of preferences list flash drive Time Machine (by selecting 'options' and then selecting the '-' button to remove the disc highlighted). He appears to remove the USB key at this point and allows me to save and close the options box, however it is always not backup external USB drive on a Time Capsule format.

    Subsequently, on rechecking the box Option Time Machine preferences, the disc that I just removed from the exclusion list, is back on the list!

    The impression that I'm going in circles... Is there something that I am missing, or another way to automatically back up this drive?

    Thank you very much.

    First of all, unless you intend to keep the reader flash connected all the time, is really no interest in what you want to do. Simply copy the data from a backup other than the Time Machine backup disk drive.

    How can I add a password to an existing network of the time capsule?

    I guess you mean that time Capsule has already been configured to provide a signal of wireless network, correct?

    Do you mean that the network has no password at all right now... or... do you mean that the network has an existing password, but you want to change the password?

  • How can I add text floating to a clip? (not a title, floating text that can be moved)

    How can I add floating text? Or is it possible to move the title autour text, how do I do?

    If you can not get the desired effect using the scrolling credits, the Far Far Away or the titles of Ticker,

    the only way that I can think is to create a file with the text you want on a green or blue (outside of iMovie) and put it above a green or blue background element in the timeline panel.  You can then use the image in the photo installation and creation of keyframes to move the text on the background.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mova1aaa682b for more details.

    Share/export this file, then import the file and place it above your video clip.  This time, use the blue/green screen so that the text appears on top of your video.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov82da1338a for more details.

    Bulky, but should work.

  • How can I add an icon to a Web page in my bookmarks bar?

    Most Web pages have the coding for the small square icon in the bookmarks toolbar.
    Some do not.
    How can I add an icon to a Web page that does not have an assigned icon?

    It saves space for icons rather than a description of the page.

    These icons are called the favicons. Unfortunately, there no Firefox builtin feature to customize or change the favicon as the favicon is determined by a line in the HTML code of the site.

    There are many addons for Firefox that improve your browsing experience and allow you to make some customizations to Firefox. You can browse the addons of Firefox here.

    The only addon that I could find was the Favicon Images bookmarks addon, but it seems that there are some restrictions and you are only allowed to choose an icon from the list of the addon, not a custom image.
