• How to make a Time Capsule external hard drive backup

  Hi I just got a time capsule airport which I backed up on my iMac.  I have an external seagate HD plugged on my mac via USB.  I have a catalog photo large library and adobe lightroom on the external hard drive I use and change almost every day. These files are NOT stored on my computer because they take so much space that I would like to keep the separate external disk.  It was my hope to keep a backup on my time capsule on a regular basis with my backup of the iMac.  I have time machine configured to backup from my mac, and then under options, I have seen the drive seagate showing as excluded.  I removed excluded readers and click Save. However I don't think during backup that he actually saved these files because the capsule still shows as have plenty of available disk space.  When I opened the options again shows seagate always excluded.

  so question is can I save the iMac and the external hard drive at the same time?

  If this is not the case, what is the work around for this thing saved?

  thnx

  The Seagate disk should be in Mac Mac OS extended (journaled)format, also known as HFS +, if you want that Time Machine to back up your Mac.

  Do you know how the Seagate drive is formatted?  If it isn't... . Right click on on the icon of the Seagate drive which is mounted on the Mac desktop, and then click read the information. In the window that appears, look for the Format.

  What do you see when you check the Format?

• How to set my time capsule from apple for my external hard drive backup?

  I installed a Time Capsule from Apple on my network.  It seems to work very well.  I need to use it to back up my external drive (if possible)

  Can someone give me directions?

  Thank you

  Jean S

  If you use Time Machine, open the system preferences pane, click Options, and remove the external drive from the exclusion list. It is not possible for all formats of volume.

  If you use a different backup product, see its documentation.

• How to move a Time Capsule backup to a new hard drive

  I've been running Time Capsule on an external FireWire drive Yosemite 10.10.5 running on a MacPro to 2012. It will allow more to perform backups and disk utility fails to remove the disc. When I run the disk repair, either via the recovery disc or a USB flash drive, they are not able to repair the disc and gives me the message: "exit code is 8." The suggestion is to backup the drive and then wipe and restore. I tend to remove the hard drive because it is the second time this has happened; the first time I erased it and started the Time Machine backup everywhere with the same external drive.

  However, I am about to upgrade to El Capitan and certainly want the option to return to Yosemite if necessary.

  What should I do to transfer the contents of the hard drive damaged to a new drive and always make sure that my computer recognizes it as a backup Time Machine valid? I can clone it right on a new external hard drive?

  Thank you!

  Yes, it clones if the drive is still ok.

  On a MacPro, you have plenty of space for a real drive... or you can buy a USB key and just to make the clone.

  However, my recommendation is to download and run Carbon Copy Cloner. You get free trial use 1 month anyway. Clone startup current Mac to a USB drive or internal hard drive. And make sure it is bootable... that makes it simple to restore a computer to your old operating system running. TM cannot produce a clone bootable... nor can utility that can clone a drive but not to create a boot disk drive.

  Just keep the current firewire drive as that is the TM backup... I really doubt that you will get no improvement it cloning.

• 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.

• How to attach a time capsule to a fios router

  I have a mixed system of computers (Mac and windows os) and I use Verizon FiOS router G1100 of quantum. I want attached to my time Capsule 1 TB to the router to be used as a NAS (attached to the network storage) device, but do not know how to proceed.

  All of the suggestions.

  Brian Z

  Not really recommend that you do so with a time Capsule of the 1st Gen... If that's what you have... like the reset back to the default settings, the new settings, restart, etc. may not happen with such an old device.

  If you want to try this in any case, we recommend that if you have not already done so... that you first back up the data on the Time Capsule to a USB drive that is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled) using the archive feature in AirPort Utility.

  

  Next, we need to know what kind of computer you will use to set up the time Capsule and what operating system it is running.

• How to connect my Time Capsule to a WiFi network?

  Happily, I use a Time Capsule for years as a WiFi router connected as a bridge to the router provided by my supplier.

  Now, I'm moving to a place where internet is already provided by an access point in my new apartment and included in the monthly cost of the facilities in this village. The access point is hidden behind the ceiling of my apartment and doesn't have any port ethernet except the one used to get the internet. WiFi which will be available for me is configured by an administrator with the name of my apartment.

  My internet needs TC that the ethernet source and I wonder what I could do to work around this problem. I don't see any option in the settings of TC to connect to an existing WiFi.

  While waiting to move to the new apartment, I did a test by trying to create a scenario similar to the House, for example by using the wifi router of my provider to create a wifi network, then using an extension of WiFi that is connected to A WiFi network and connect my TC via ethernet connected on WiFi extender set up my TC as a bridge and the creation of a WiFi B with my TC that I can use with my devices. It works fine, but I wonder if there is something I'm missing or a better solution or possible issues related to this configuration.

  My internet needs TC that the ethernet source and I wonder what I could do to work around this problem.

  In a Word, nothing. The TC must connect to a network by using a wired Ethernet cable connection. The only exception to this would be a Workbench where you already have a router Apple providing a wireless signal, in which case the TC can connect wireless to "extend" the network.

  This is how the TC must be connected to the network of the apartment. If your extension does not work with the network of the apartment, an AirPort Express could be used to 'join' the network wireless of the apartment, and then provide an Ethernet connection to the Treasury Board.

• drive time capsule is not available

  The time capsule disk is not available.

  Finally, he worked on 08/08/2016.

  If the capsule is on a wireless network, other devices work on this network? Have you checked your settings on the screen of Airport utility? You've restarted the router?

  The time Capsule is the computer wifi range? Time Capsule shows a green light?

• Cannot access hard drive Time Capsule... Password not accepted

  The device ' Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation).

  Subject: Unable to connect to the HD TC

  I've reconfigured our old Time Capsule (CT) for use by my daughter dependent of the College.  What with the TC seems to work fine (IE. Internet access and WIFI configured etc...).  I reformatted the HD to start from scratch.  And last updated as indicated by the Airport utility application.  The intention is to create a new WIFI area with backup (Time Machine).

  When you set up Time Machine I stressed the internal HD of TC, and then it says "connecting to etc...".  After a few seconds, a new mold box presents itself to ' enter your password for the server (name of TC) for Time Machine can access.  I enter the HD password I had setup in Airport utility with nothing doesn't.  I checked all passwords with Airport utility "Show passwords".  Tried all the passwords, and of course which none worked.  And Yes, I even try the previous passwords even if I had changed their

  I noticed that using the Airport 6.3.5 utility running on my OS X 10.10.5 machine I can see and change the TC.  But when I use another computer running 10.11.6 is the Airport 6.3.6 utility does not see the TC?

  Thoughts and comments please?

  Next step may be reset to the factory settings, but feel something going on here...

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  (1) try to reset the password for the utility disk AirPort

  (2) open TextEdit on the Mac and type the password in plain text in an editor window.  This will allow you to ensure that all the keys on the keyboard are recognized.  I've seen cases where passwords fail again and again because of a problem with a wrong key on the keyboard or a habit of typing that makes you believe that you enter the password one way, but the result is something else.  Be able to actually see that typed password allows to check that.

• 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.

• How to solve my Time Capsule that does not show a green light?

  Installed my Time Capsule in a new home. My service is xfinity that has WiFi built into the modem. Time Capsule also has active WiFi. The two WiFi options work perfectly. However, my Time Capsule shows a light yellow rather than green light, so I know that something is wrong with the system. I disconnected Time Capsule and restarted - does not solve the problem. What is the Protocol for troubleshooting to solve the problem?

  You have to open the summary in airport utility page... It is enough to click the icon of the TC and read the problem in the list.

  for example

  

  Tell us what each question is and we can help you to solve this... but if you click on each of them will be offered a cure... or you can ignore the error.

• How to use a Time Capsule with adapters wired circuit

• How to set up time capsule and D-Link wireless?

  iMac, Time Capsule, D-Link modem, internet broadband

  Ethernet is the only way... the TC must be plugged into the modem Dlink... I'm sorry.

  Apple created their routers with wireless links.

  The way around it is ethernet... well the best solution.

  There are two types of replacements of ethernet...

  EOP adapters can also work if the internal power wiring matches the location. It is Ethernet over power.

  Or you can add a second wireless apple plugged on the dlink router to provide a wireless bridge. It's a bridge transparent wireless with ethernet at each end.
