How can I configure my Time Capsule (its predecessor) as an extension of WIFI network?

I have the previous model of the time Capsule and a new version and two MAC computers. I want to use the Capsule of ancient times to extend my WIFI network. I have a MAC with a new current version of time Capsule in the center of my house. I have a second MAC set up with an earlier version of a time Capsule in my office. I want to expand the network from the center of my home, further, beyond my office. Anyone know what I need to do? THX!

Place the old TC in the same room as each other.

Do a factory reset.

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.

Open airport on the Mac utility and configure the old TC... it will automagically want to extend wireless.

Complete the installation, then move the TC to a suitable place where it picks up good signal from the main TC. There is no need to a position of bad signal... then place it where the speed is close to full... but then covers your current area of dark (wifi not light).

Fact... Voila... easy as pie.

  • How can I configure my Time Capsule wireless for backups

    I recently changed the ADSL broadband cable. So it took to move my modem to the other side of the room where my cable connection. When I got the computer, modem, ADSL modem and the TC were a few feet from each other. However - now I have a wireless connection between my mac and the gateway Max Telstra modem and works very well. However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet. I can't the airport to recognize it as a base station and I think to be able to return to the company the automatic backups, I need to somehow get the TC identified as a base station. Would that be correct? I don't know if the yellow led indicates that the HARD drive in the unit has failed, but I begin to suspect this. Or - should I be plugging the TC on the modem and then try to have the computer to connect with the TC through the other side of the room?

    There are two ways to deal with the problem.

    Plug it into the Telstra modem and see if the front LED will turn to blinking orange.

    If it remains solid amber a failed hard drive is the most likely cause...

    Tell me what model it is... A1xxx of the base unless it is from the top.

    Another suggestion is to purchase a 2.5 "1 TB or 2 TB drive self-powered. That plug into your iMac and use it for backups... It is faster, cheaper and more reliable than the replacement of the TC.

  • How can I configure an image at its actual size?

    How can I configure an image at its actual size? Let's just say my image 800x800px dynamic object. I place it in a project of 400x400px. I put on the scale the image several times, and I don't remember its original size, for the sake of argument. What I can do to get it back to 800 x 800 and where can I check to see if it is 800 x 800 I know I'm not more?

    If it's a select of the smart object layer, go to free transform mode and then check the updated image to scale in the toolbar options at the top of your screen. The scale factor will continue to be updated every time you to scale the layer. It is not reset back to 100% as a regular layer.

    You can use two different identities, or if you want to have access to these accounts in identity, set up your accounts and use message rules to move incoming messages.
     
    First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it anything you want.  Use it to one of the accounts, as well as the default Inbox for the other.
     
    Then create a message rule.
     
    Where the message comes from the specified account.
    Move it to the specified folder & stop processing more rules.
    Click: specified account and enter the account name for the second Inbox.
    Click: specified folder and select the folder that you created.
    Name the rule.
     
    Move the rule to the top of the list of rules, and incoming messages will be separated into their respective folders.
  • How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

    I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

    One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

    My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

    So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

    This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

    TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

    All you have to do is open TM...

    Go to the date when the user has always existed.

    Now in the finder as the interface.

    Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

    Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

    It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

    Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

    Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

    Our great master guru on this stuff is Pondini, who died some time ago... and it is a few obsolete versions... but it is always interesting to read.

    The restoration is Q14-17 and fairly detailed.

    I made an example using method pondini... just iphoto, but gives a good idea how do...

    If you want to just retrieve the documents folder say... Then, you can use the same method... Simply select the entire folder.

    The permissions problems arise often... but once the files on your local disk, you can correct them.

  • How can I unforget airport Time Capsule?

    I was in the Airport utility and 'forgotten' my Time Capsule airport.  The most convenient airport seems to work very well, but I can see it is no longer in the graphical presentation.  How can I fix so that I see once more the airport?

    Try a cycle of complete nutrition of the network as follows:

    Power off all devices... modem, routers, computers, iPhones, printers, etc. in the order you want

    Wait a minute

    Start the modem and let it run alone for a few minutes

    The device connected to the modem to start and keep running a minute

    Keep the commissioning of the devices at once a minute outside until the entire network is back

    Check if the airport appears now and communicate your results.

    IF... the airport does not appear in the utility AirPort... are you still using OS X (10.7.4) on your Mac, you put in your profile, or you have updated to a more recent operating system?  If so, what system would be that?

    Apple tv still cannot connect to the network

    I have assune the hotspot of the iPad has been activated during the implementation of ATV. How it did not work?

    Have you seen the network ID in the settings of wifi hotspot network? Have you been able to enter the right key, etc.. ?

    ATV type of expects a wifi network that is always available, but I don't think that this is a fundamental requirement. It may be that ATV recognizes the temporary nature of the personal hotspot and rejects him.

  • How can I configure Time Capsule 3 to and Motorola NVG589 to access the Time Capsule backup drive?

    I have ATT Uverse service and am ok with the performance of the WiFi of the NVG589. I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network and be able to access the drive for backups Time Machine. I think I am following the steps in Airport utility, but once installation is complete I can find is no longer the time Capsule.

    I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network

    The time Capsule cannot "extend" the network Uverse using a wireless connection, if that's maybe what you're trying to do. The time Capsule can only wireless "extend" the signal of another router from Apple.

    The Capsule can be configured to extend the network to Uverse if it is connected permanently... anytime... to the Uverse router using a connection through wired Ethernet cable.

    Please specify on what you're trying to accomplish, so that we can provide the correct steps.

  • New configuration of Time capsule

    New time Machine 2 TB, put up with WAG54G2 linksys Cisco Modem, what are the correct setting?

    I currently have the time in bridge mode machine, to remove the effects of double NAT. Can I put my modem in Bridge mode and time machine handle everything? If so, how? Step by step instructions would be appreciated as I am a novice touch.

    New time Machine 2 TB, put up with WAG54G2 linksys Cisco Modem, what are the correct setting?

    Mode bridge on the Time Capsule is the correct setting to use with the Linksys WAG54G2 you have from the Linksys device is not only a modem, but a complete network and router.

    Can I put my modem in bridge mode

    It would be a matter of your Internet Service provider... is they indicated the Linksys device you... or for the support of Linksys people.

    The manual for the WAG54G2 I downloaded did not indicate all the options for "modem only" mode, or bridge, even in advanced settings is possible and probable that the WAG54G2 do not have this type of capability.

    If you find your ISP or Linksys support, there is a menu 'hidden' for other advanced options on the WAG54G2 allowing the device to set up as only a simple bridge mode modem, the next question to ask would be if your ISP requires PPPoE or PPPoA authentication.

    The time Capsule will support PPPoE... but not PPPoA... then you would have a very clear understanding of the requirements of service from your ISP in this regard.

    It's a simple matter of reconfiguring the time Capsule to act as the router of the network if it turns out that the WAG54G2 can be configured as a simple modem... and our ISP requires PPPoE authentication for their service.  We will cross that bridge when and if we get to it.
