I have my time capsule for base station; How do I set up just for Time Machine?

For several years, I have used Time Capsule as a wireless base station more backup Time Machine. I back up a Macbook Air (single user) and iMac with 2 users (two computers running on OS X 11.5). With Comcast Xfinity I need is more like a base station. In fact, I reset my router Xfinity name and password to replicate what was the name and the password to my Time Capsule network. But, now that it's done I can't understand of set up time capsule without set it up as a base station. The installation guide seems to suggest that I could do so by plugging the ethernet cable from the modem to an ethernet port which is not the WAN port. But this configuration did not work. The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

Simply turn off the time Capsule wireless.

To do... Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, then click on modify in the window that appears

Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the next window

Change the setting for the Mode of network on 'Off '.

Click Update to save the changes

But... and this is a big BUT... This work of pourrait ... and maybe not. Even if the backup on the Comcast network seems to be working, there will be no help from Apple in case of questions or problems of backup.

The reason is that, so that your Time Machine backups be supported officially by Apple, users must save on the Time Capsule wireless, or connect their Mac (s) directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

If you decide to try the method of failure to load, please let us know how things work after a few days.

  • The Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a good solution?

    I'm moving so leaving the wifi station that Verizon gave me. I think I have the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by station WiFi. I connected an iMac (main computer) MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone.

    My main question is how this used for the WiFi base station compares to others on the market.

    Thank you!

    Johnny

    The AirPort Express has limited the ability of speed due to its slow and limited capacity wireless Ethernet port due to its very small built in WiFi antennas.

    However, if the plan of your new Internet Service Provider (ISP) is limited to about 50 Mbit/s, then the Express would probably be OK if most wireless devices will be located near the AirPort Express Terminal.

    If the budget allows, an AirPort Extreme is a much better product... up to 10 times the speed of the Express... with additional WiFi antennas located just above the 'tour' to improve performance.

    If your new ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, then AirPort Extreme would be a better match.

    If you are considering other routers from other manufacturers... we cannot comment at all on their performance without knowing the number of brand and model of the device you are considering.

  • How can ensure me that I am connected to the Wan, not the Base Station?

    I have one extreme as a base station, with an express the upstairs of the extension of the network. There are green lights on both, the utility displays the Express connected to the extreme and it is not a big house, so it seems that the network is configured correctly.

    However, when I'm near the Express, my MacBook Pro connection speed is significantly slower: 9Mbps, vs 30Mbps when close to the extreme. As far as I know, I am always connected the low extreme, rather as the Express I sit beside.

    Is there a way to say that I am connected to? Or y at - it a way to choose who to connect to?

    Thank you-

    In AirPort Utility, click images extreme and Express. A list of connected devices appears in the windows that appear.

  • Time Machine backup fails

    We have a time Machine that is inadmissible for automatic backups. I use a MacBook Pro (2012, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SATA drive) with OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.5. The backup of a now-dead Mac is also on the Time Capsule.

    I get a: "/ Volumes/data/users of MacBook Pro.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)). "error saving is attempted.

    If I look at my computer in the Finder, I can see the backup drive and access it as a "Shared" disc (open the folder Data, look at content, etc.).

    So far, I tried to remove the Time Capsule disk, add it again and try to save again according to a previous thread on this site. Now, the only difference is that I get a message that he "expects full first backup", and in Time Machine preferences, it records all the previous backups. She cannot finish the backup, when she goes to the backup with the same error message as described above.

    I'm confused that I can connect to the reader through the Finder, but it will not save.

    Thank you very much for any help/advice on fixing this!

    Suggest that you first run an audit of your backups... to check that they are not corrupt. To do this...

    Press and hold the option on your Mac key while you click on the "clock" icon Time machine at the top of the screen

    Then, click check backups

    The process can take from 10 to 60 minutes or more depending on the amount of data on the Time Capsule disk. This will inform you when the process is complete.

  • Wireless shared time Machine backup with Airport Express?

    Hi all

    I looked around lately for a solution to this issue and who struggle to get by.

    I'm a musician, and at home, I have an iMac that I work on. Everything is there, basically. I have a Time Machine backup to an external drive.

    I also have my old MacBook that I use to play concerts. I have what I need for it there: especially Max/MSP patches, odd live recording and a few samples. I don't have a backup of it right now. Max patches are the only files not on my iMac.

    So far, all the files I need for two computers, I have sync with DropBox and OneDrive. I'm getting a little tired of copy things more, re-upload, forgetting where something is and having things scattered everywhere. Ideally I'd like a shared folder of a certain type that is always up-to-date on both computers. This folder will contain Max patches, live recordings and the weird thing I do away from home.

    I would also be able to save more flexible:

    • the iMac backup
    • Backup of MacBook Pro
    • Shared folder backup

    I've been looking around a bit and I'm not sure how best to do so. A kind of home server would be an option? I have not used one drop/airport/Time Capsule of Apple stuff before, so I'm not sure how they differ from each other.

    I like Time Machine, because I can't think to save things. If I could have three backups separated like the ones I mentioned (for the security and because my brain can deal with it better if it is presented that way), that upward with Time Machine or something similar, to some central place automatically.

    I looked at the airport in Time Capsule and it looks great, but I can't afford it right now. I also saw contradictory information on AirPort Express can be plugged into an external drive for backup, so if Time Machine can be used with wireless at all.

    I hope that what I am asking is logical. I would like the simplest solution to back up two computers and have a shared location for the common files needed on both.

    Thank you!

    Phil.

Ideally I'd like a shared folder of a certain type that is always up-to-date on both computers. This folder will contain Max patches, live recordings and the weird thing I do away from home.

    An option here would be to get a device connected to the network (SIN). This unit can store all the required files and be accessible to one of your computers on your home network. A number of these devices is also available remotely, when necessary. Here is an example.

    I would also be able to save more flexible:

    • the iMac backup
    • Backup of MacBook Pro
    • Shared folder backup

    To the extent not "have to think about backup things', Time Machine (TM) would be a solution that is easily available to you now. It would create separate for each Mac backups. In addition to using an external hard drive as you do now, other TM backup destinations could be:

    • A time Capsule
    • A 802.11ac AirPort Extreme with a connected USB hard drive. In this configuration, Apple calls the drive and the drive from the airport.
    • A NAS

    In the last item in the list, you see that a NAS could offer solutions for each of your goals. However, if you are on a tight budget, likely the most expensive company to undertake, as the physical drive of NAS enclosure can run around $400-600 only, without any installed readers. This is where the time Capsule can work out cheaper for you.

  • Can I do a differential restore from Time Machine?

    I have a user who has a file structure that lists many companies, each company has its own folder, and inside each folder there is a file called "Notes.docx. This means that each company has a generic file called notes:

    Companies folder

    File of the company 1

    Notes.docx

    Business account 2

    Notes.docx

    File of the company 3

    Notes.docx

    I've already made conscious, that this is a bad idea because it can identify files specific notes difficult, however this isn't the problem.

    The problem is that there are hundreds of records of the company , and it appears that many files of notes are missing at random. I don't understand not what causes some of them should be deleted, but not all, but that's where we are. To further complicate the issue, that he did not have a Time Machine backup since 3 months ago, so simply rolling the MBP back is not an option. Currently she does is he finds a company that does not contain the file notes that it connects to the time Machine and restores a single file.

    Of course the way he does now is not very effective and will take considerable time. I'm looking for is an option that would make a differential comparison on its records of the society and those who lack the file notes , unroll the previous version of time Capsule. Is this possible? I'm also open to other suggestions, thank you all!

    Time Machine can do in one shot... If you retrieve a directory on the existing directory... Yes, I think it will be...

    Be smart... Copy the directory to a new location existing.

    Then do a restore of this directory of backup TM in the same place... let run and then check the results. Look particularly for situations where known files could be early version on the last copy.

    Moreover,.

    I could do this in two steps.

    1 retrieve the entire repertoire... without doubt, all the records of the company are in the folder documents or something on his computer.

    You can go to TM and retrieve the directory to another location.

    2 copy the directory from the original. Be smart of course use a copy of terminal as rsync command. Just look to the top of the rsync command... you don't need to be pushed eggs... but being smart of course... do not do without a trial on the copy of its directory with all the files of the company first to make sure it isn't wasting. I just googled for rsync command to file update from the source to the target.

    rsync - v h - r Pei t source target

    This transfers only new files and files already existing but put to update the:

    The parameters in detail:

    • -h: numbers readable human
    • -v: talker
    • -r: recurse into directories
    • -P: --partial (keep partially transferred files) +.
      --progress(show progress during transfer)
    • -t: preserve modification times
  • Connection of ARD of Time Machine settings

    My main computer has failed yesterday and came out for repair.

    I downloaded ARD on my MacBook Pro, but do not have the connection string information to connect to the computers of my client (on the main computer). I have the Time Machine backup but could not find the connection string information.

    I have replaced/Library/Application Support / Apple / Remote Desktop, /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist with the Time Machine backup and rebooted the laptop.

    I do not have my connection strings. Where is the connection string information stored?

    Hi tijoev,

    Don't know what version of ARD that you use.

    -Latest versions of ARD have parameters stored in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.RemoteDesktop

    -Restore everything in this backup TM folder and restart.

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Nick

    Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

  • Recover mail - Time Machine dates in gray

    Following a successful by Apple repair, my MacBook Pro with El Capitan is now rebuilt and everything works, including mail.

    I used to have a number of files that I used to store mail offline (family, finance, service provider, leisure, etc.)

    I have a Time Machine disk that contains data. I tried to recover by holding the Option key and selecting the right disc, but I can not go far enough - he reached on a date with a red line against it on the right side in Time Machine, but all the above dates that are grayed out (page are in gray), although I can see the date. Clicking on it does nothing.

    The disk in the Finder, I can see the files throughout the library > Mail > V2 > mailboxes > {various .mbox files}

    Given that I can see / copy, is there any way I can get them in office on the MBP please?

    Thank you

    Bob

    In Time machine the last date that is not grayed out: go to the folder 'up', the one you are in, may be still another level above, then go further back in time. then go 'down' in the folder and again until you find the records you are looking for.
