  How do I connect/install my time capsule airport to my new WiFi network so she just backup my Mac and not to extend my WiFi or want to be a WiFi hotspot

  There is no way to connect a TC to a wifi network. It must be connected by ethernet to the main modem or to the router.

  I don't understand what you're asking...

• Mac cannot connect to time capsule

  Currently, I had to do a full factory reset on my time capsule to put in place a new DSL modem. now, or computer, my MacBook Pro and my iMac can't find time capsule to do back ups. What is the procedure to get my back ups return?

  You mentioned that you have reconfigured your Time Capsule to work with a new DSL modem, but does not know if you reset the path used by every Mac to find the time Capsule.

  If you don't reset the path to find the time on each Mac Capsule, then each Mac still remembered how to find your Time Capsule on the 'old' network, but they do not know how to find the time on your 'new' network Capsule.

  Start with the MacBook Pro, and...

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

  Click Open Time Machine Preferences

  Click Add or remove disks

  Under the heading of the backup drives, click the drive that you see here to highlight. The disk will be named 'Data' unless you have changed the name of the disc.

  Click on remove the disc

  Close the window

  Restart the MacBook Pro

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

  Click Open Time Machine

  Click Select Disk or it can read add / remove disk

  Click on "Data", or the name of your drive to highlight

  Click on using the drive

  Close the window

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

  Click back up now

  Wait for the backup of all the

  Once the backup is complete, repeat the above process with the iMac

• 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.

• 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.

• I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

  As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

  At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

• Windows 8 user unable to connect to the public AT & T Wifi networks (McDonald's, Starbucks, FedEx desktop, etc.).

  I searched here and I have not found anyone else with this issue, but I can't be the only one.

  In the event that I am the first, my problem is that I can't connect to the public AT & T WiFi networks; McDonald, being the most common location.  It appears in the list of wireless networks, but it takes forever for the McDonald's to open web page in the box that says something like "Connect to the Internet" or words to that effect.  Finally after clicking this check box, a message appears at the bottom of the page indicating that the webpage is not responding; Click to refresh it.  No matter how many times I try it, nothing happens.

  I have Windows 8 on a Toshiba Satellite.  It's a new laptop comes with Windows 8; No updates to otherwise than to buy this new laptop.

  What is strange, is that I am on a WiFi network at the moment.  "Wandering WiFi" to be precise.  But I tried to get on AT & T at Starbucks earlier this evening and had the same success that I had at McDonald's.

  I'm pretty sure that I don't mess with settings wireless on my pc but I can't say that for sure 100%.

  Sorry to see that you are having problems. Please, try the following.

  Restart the device

  Make sure that all the updates have been applied.

  • Open the network connections Panel
  • Select the network connection corresponding to either right click (mouse) or hold by selecting (finger).
  • A Context Menu will appear. Please Select forgotten network.
  • After the network connection is dropped, please reconnect.

  If that solves the problem then great! If this is not the case, let know us and we will try something else.

• How do force you a T410 to recognize wifi networks?

  How do force you a T410 to recognize wifi networks?

  I have a t410 that my company has released me.  Works fine at the office on a wired network.  But I can't take anywhere and use wifi.  The only network he displays when you click the network icon in the status bar is Verizon Wireless (which is not the same configuration in our laptops).

  When you click on network and sharing Center, and then manage wireless networks, all networks wifi, I need to use are here.  But it won't recognize them.  They are all configured properly.

  BTW, with my Macbook Air adjacent to the T410 and connects to my wifi network instantly.  Network plug from your cell phone, both are set up the same.

  Our it guy says I should remove and reconfigure each network.  It does not help.

  Any suggestions?

  After the validation I continued searching this forum for an answer to my problem.  I found an old post on the t410 turn off random wireless connectivity.  It does this without any notice.  The hotfix that is described in this post is not applicable to the version (current?) of Thinkvantage on my new Lenovo.

  Here's the message I think solved the problem:

• How to configure a printer wireless connected to Time Capsule?

  I just bought a printer HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M577z MFP Flow. It has capabilities of wireless printing. So far, I was able to connect wirelessly to one of my MacBook Pro computers, but only by having the printer create an Ad - hoc network that allows up to 5 devices to connect to the printer. But that of not what I want because every computer should manually disconnect the Wi - Fi network, connect to the Ad hoc network, the print job and then reconnect to the Wi - Fi network whenever a print job is required. It is very difficult and frustrating.

  What I would like is striking is the printer act like a network printer by wireless connection to my Time Capsule. I can't connect the printer to the USB port of time Capsule because they are far away from each other, and I don't want to use cables throughout my place. But I have no idea on how to do it because I can't find this option in the menu of the writer or configuration of the United Nations the HP utility software.

  I hope someone here could help me, please. Thank you!

  I have an Epson printer, so some of my experiences may or may not apply.

  I also have a time Capsule, and my printer and Time Capsule are far apart.

  My current configuration looks exactly what you are looking for: a wireless network provided by Time Capsule than all my Apple devices to a wireless connection, and my printer connects to the same wireless network.

  When I first bought the Epson printer, I needed to connect it to the Capsule of time via a USB port.  This sounds as if it were true for you as well.  So, for this very short period. I moved the printer via the USB port next to the printer, the connected Time Capsule, made the setup and then the printer recognized my standard wireless network.  I've returned to steady state, which I use now, with the printer and the far (actually on different floors) Time Capsule.

• How to share a Time Capsule airport directory (/ Data / media /) with an OPPO BDP - 103 Blu - Ray player with Ethernet (no Wi - Fi) connections?

  I have an OPPO BDP - 103 Blu - Ray player connected to my LAN via ethernet cable.  I also have an airport Time Capsule (APTC) connected by ethernet to my local network cable.

  In addition to the use of PACT as a backup Time Machine for my MacBook, I have a few movies and photos in the directory/data/media /.  What should I do so that the law of the APTC as a media server to serve/data/Media/and the files in the hierarchy of files in this directory to the BDP-103?  I don't have a wireless adapter for the BDP-103.

  Note that I use OS X El Capitan on my MacBook Pro, but I don't want to get involved them in this.  I want to just serve you directly the files on CLTS CLTS.

  You can't do it unless the Blu - Ray player is a complete multimedia player.

  Apple have no extension of media in a TC... No... nothing... zero... Nothingness... elodie... not a thing.

  BTW, Apple do not support DLNA who need of most TV/media players... so they never get to add it in the future either.

  To play media files on a TC you can use a WD TV live... because it's a media player... and he can read raw files... not only DLNA used media.

  What Apple is nothing without iTunes.

• Unable to connect to WD Mybook Duo when it is connected to Time Capsule

  I have a new Western Digital MyBook Duo 4 (2 TB per disk) to I want to access any of the three Macs in the House.

  Every Mac use the Wifi in my Time Capsule airport station. My book Duo is plugged into the USB jack on the back that is provided for external hard drives.

  However, all Macs you will see the Duo MyBook, none can use it.

  Info: Every Mac running El Capitan.   The Time Capsule and MyBook Duo running the latest firmware.

  In the Finder, every Mac can see the airport Time Capsule, under 'Shared' in the left pane. By clicking on it, each Mac can see the time Capsule HARD internal disk and external HDD my book Duo. When I click on it, I get the same darn message each time: "the operation cannot be performed because the original for"My Book Duo"item could not be found."

  If I connect the MyBook Duo directly to the USB port on any Mac, everything works fine. But this isn't the way I want to connect.

  The most convenient airport Time Capsule is supposed to effectively (via its USB port) allows you to have an external HDD on a network, and that's how I want to use my book Duo.

  Can someone help, please?

  Hello

  Did you do the drives MyBook Duo are in the right format? It must be formatted in HFS + (also known as Mac OS extended (journaled).

  Hope this helps, good luck!

• What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

  I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

  The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

  Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

  Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.

• Time Capsule visitor files a network (associated with possible network connectivity)

  I have one Capsule of 3 TB I bought in early 2015.  I had a very frustrating problem from the beginning with her down my network, apparently at random.  I tried a lot of different things, and nothing worked, so I post to see if anyone else can help.

  The TC is plugged directly into my UVerse router/gateway via ethernet and I put the TC to have a static IP address.  The Uverse router firewall has a rule for the TC and TC shows how a router cascade in the rou UVerse.  I have wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz when put in place on the TC.  I have a Mac Mini connected directly to it via ethernet, but it's a recent thing (maybe I was hoping that it would help).  I have also a PC attached to it for internet access only windows.  I have two Macs backup via Time Machine, well I tried to disable backups on one to see if that has had an effect (it didn't).  In fact, I have a whole list of notes on things I tried in the last two months, since I started to really tackle this problem seriously.  In particular, I've tried steps 1 to 5 in this link: Time Capsule constantly default to be recognized by Airport utility if I have not tried a factory reset.  I'm running the latest versions of OS X and iOS.

  The basic model is that I have the TC set up and work.  The wireless works fine.  Time Machine will back to it fine.  I can see the TC in the Finder.  I can open the AirPort on a Mac and iOS utility and it is 'green '.  All right.  Then, at a random time in the next few days (the longest one since I started to take notes is 7 days), the TC will drop from the network.  The without wire will be there and still works fine, but Time Machine will not be able to find it for backups, it will not be displayed in the Finder.  AirPort (iOS or Mac) utility shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and says that the device is no longer part of my network.  I have to unplug the TC and plug it back again so that he can return to the top.  As soon as I did that, everything will return to normal and be fine for a few days, and then he disappeared again.

  Tonight, however, I connected to another event.  I was watching something on my AppleTV when he started the buffering.  I grabbed my iPhone to see if my internet has declined.  More or less on a whim, I checked the airport utility and noticed that the TC showed a green dot but 'Internet' showed an orange dot.  A minute or two later, the AppleTV started playing video again, so I checked again airport utility and this 'Internet' time, has a green dot and the TC showed the usual brand yellow triangle / exclamation indicating it was abandoned.  I noted the time and then went back to look at what I had looked at.  About two hours later, I went to the power of the TC cycle and understand what to try next.

  The AppleTV is not connected to the CT.  It connects to the UVerse bridge (it is connected to the ethernet on the back of one of the set-top boxes UVerse).  This means that the loss of the internet was for everything in the House, not only the TC.  Something about the process seems to have caused the TC to drop from the network somehow, but everything remains recovered him very well.  Looking the UVerse bridge, it seems rebooting once since then (about an hour and a half after the TC dropped) but not by anyone in the House (I don't know if perhaps AT & T pushed something in the modem or if it is defective).

  So, no idea why loss of connectivity would cause the TC had to give up in the network?  Of course, it also appears, I may have a problem with the gateway Uverse, but if the TC goes down when everything is ok, it suggests a problem here as well.

  Since you seem to have picked up some things from my post...

  We will continue the process... This is where life becomes difficult. It is not uncommon to what you feel.

  Just to get the full picture.

  The TC is plugged directly into my UVerse router/gateway via ethernet and I put the TC to have a static IP address.

  I would prefer you to the TC using the bridge... using standard DHCP... (you can leave the Uverse for him apply a DHCP reservation).

  Once you do that... move the cable that connects the TC to the WAN Uverse on TC to the LAN port... It is fine in bridge...

  If it always falls I have a more serious way to do. It is much more complicated, however, because apple has removed all controls on sensitive router. But I think you will find that the WAN port is dubious on the TC. It can appear at different times and with different modems/routers...

  Alternatively, you can take the TC to Apple and have them replaced... It took me three goes to get a decent one. And I'm not even sure that the fault will not be displayed again in the near future out of warranty.

  But it could appear perfectly when Apple test it... and the replacement can be just as bad... in other words it is a deeper problem that Apple realize.

  Another thing tricky, I discovered.

  Airport routers stick to the local domain... even packed... they do not Pick-up area of the main router.

  This means that some devices will lose the connection because they are on the wrong field. It is possible to change the field on the Uverse make local as well... Since apple has not all the controls of the airport. I did some time ago on my main router and I can hardly give you direct evidence that helps... as many adjustments it is one of the many small things that are in addition to the lack of reliability that can help if you get the other 20 on the right. I think it helped...!

  From there on, we need to work a little more on maybe the ethernet connection... or the LAN port 100 Mbps gigabit Uverse? I think I'd rather see you adjust the speed of 100Mbps as long as your internet speed is less than that of course for gigabit.

  Give me some screenshots of the configuration... It is also useful.

• Windows 7 does not connect to Time Capsule

  I have 2 computers connected to Apple's Time Capsule.  I have the HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with all updates trendy top of x 64 and it is able to connect to the Wi - Fi router part and connect to the part of the external hard drive to a hard drive wireless to save.  I was able to do this with Norton 360 installed and running in the background and with it uninstalled the system and had no problems.

  I have a MacBook Pro that has Mac OS X 10.6.4 with all updates and Windows 7 on a partition separated with all updates.  On the side of Mac OS X can connect to the internet through wireless using Time Capsule can be accessed on the side of Time Capsule hard drive and use it as an external hard drive wireless for the back upward.  Windows 7 can only use Time Capsule to connect to wireless internet, but it won't find the game hard drive so I can use it as an external hard drive wireless for the back upward.  I tried this with uninstalled Norton 360 and Norton 360 running in the background.  I noticed that whenever I try and log in to the side of the Time Capsule hard drive Windows 7, it tells me:

  Of airPort Base Station Agent

  Could not connect to the drive. Make sure NetBIOS is turned on, and then try again (53).

  Time Capsule has all the updates that he needs and I can't make it work.  This has something to do with me not being is not able to connect to a system running Windows 7 and the other using Vista not being able to connect through a home network to connect to each other to share files.

  How can I fix it

  Take a look at this thread of Discussion Apple about the same error:

  There is also a very long discussion on Windows 7 and the Time Capsule Apple available here:
