Implemented new airport Time Capsule

When defining the new airport Time Capsule, I think you have the ability to create a new wireless network or extending the existing.

What is the best choice and why?

Thank you

Create a wireless network is used only when an Ethernet cable connects permanently to another router or a modem to time Capsule. Like the illustration in the Installation Guide.

Extend a wireless network is used only when the Capsule connects wireless to another router from Apple.  This parameter cannot be used if you have a 3rd party router providing your wireless signal.

Bottom line... Use the option create a wireless network with an Ethernet cable... unless... you already have another router from Apple and you want the time Capsule to connect wireless.

  • New airport Time Capsule is not connect to Airport Express more.

    When I just upgraded my Airport Extreme for a time Capsule of the airport, I lost my connection to the Airport Express connected to my stereo to allow playback Airtunes wireless. Airport utility is really different and shows that the new ATC.

    Help?

    Ok. It seems that my Express and my old extreme are no longer supported by Apple? Come on guys! I tried the Airport utility download stuff to my phone, but that did not work. Alternative workaround so I did not in the trash with a value of $400 of perfectly functional base stations? I just want to have Airplay again. GRRRR.

  • New connection airport Time Capsule with others

    Quick question I have a new airport Time Capsule. I'm trying to connect my 2 extremes of 2 airport with the new unit. They are in 2 different places in the House, I see them in my utility, but they're more connected... Lost... Help?

    Are you using ethernet to connect or wireless extend?

    When you installed the TC you replace an existing router that used EI or did you do a clean install?

    If you want to extend wireless simply reset the two AE at the factory and start on with installation... they should auto select this option to expand the TC in wireless... but you must start with them the two reset otherwise it will mess up the network.

  • HOW THE AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS NETWORK IS PROTECTED?

    I implemented the airport Time Capsule, using a DSL modem connected to the internet as its bridge.  MacBook Pro was used for initial set up by the bolt of lightning to Ethernet connector and then disconnected and works perfectly.  Now, I would like to use Wi - Fi for my Samsung phone not iOS.  On the Samsung wireless I connect to my home network using a password.  Well, I don't think that a password was never set.  How can I configure my wifi at home to establish a password?   I don't think that the modem settings should enter in solving this for me, but I'll add that the modem required a static IP address be entered for this connection when its router features have been disabled for the connection of bridge.

    If the Time Capsule (TC) provides the wireless network, then you can secure it using AirPort Utility, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the TC and then, select change.
    • Select the wireless tab.
    • In the wireless security, select the type of security. I highly recommend that you choose: WPA2 Personal
    • Enter a password in the field password wireless. Enter the same password in the verify password.
    • Select Update.

    There is a wifi wireless in the House. What is the cause?

    Potentially, Yes. Network Wi - Fi of the new Time Capsule can interfere with this other Wi - Fi router. What is the brand and model of the other device? What are your objectives of networking for the Time Capsule (TC)? In other words, do you want to expand the wireless of the other device, or create another Wi - Fi network, or something else?

  • Airport Time Capsule 2013 loses Internet connection

    Hello! Help, please! Bought a new airport Time Capsule 2013, hung, everything works well, but it several times a day, disconnect from the Internet. Saves only the reboot. It is very annoying ((the provider said it sees it's requests on a regular basis but does not correct. Apparently she must ask for options and more them do not ask, and she periodically asks for new, but do not correctly. It is for the USA, and I am in Ukraine. I have a wedding? (((((

    Apple routers can be very problematic on some connections... You use PPPOE with any kind of modem? Apple routers have proved to be unreliable with this setup for some people. In particular the fiber connections simply do not work very well.

    For you help, we need to know what kind of internet that you have and the modem... brand and model may not mean a lot but the actual type, is it a pure modem or a router? Or do you not need a router at all. If it is an installation of fiber you plug straight ethernet of ONTARIO at the time Capsule?

  • Need help with the implementation of a replacement airport Time Capsule

    Hi... Recognizing the help. My 1 TB airport Time Capsule (ATC) crashed and I bought a new 2 TB ATC to replace. In my preference system, Time Machine reflects that my ATC 1 TB is still active. How to pay safely my 2 new cases of tuberculosis ATC to replace the 1 TB ATC?

    Assuming that you 1. already connected the new TC on your network, and/or 2. you were able to save all data on TC 1 TB, or simply do not take care of him You can just open Time Machine preferences, turn the Time Machine off, and then select the disk in the new time Capsule. A brand-new first backup starts to run, and it will certainly take time.

    Another option is to connect the new TC on ethernet directly on your Mac and then select the Time Machine preferences, this will speed up the first backup.

    In case you were able to archive the old backup and transfer it to your new TC, you will continue your backup schedule by simply selecting the new TC in Time Machine preferences.

    I hope this helps.

  • Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

    Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

    Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

    When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

    Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

    I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

    Any suggestions?

    Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

    1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

    2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

    Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

    Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

    3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

    4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

  • AirPort Time Capsule Help!

  • Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

    Hello.

    Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

    Concerning

    Simon

    Hello Ladro Maltese,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

    This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

    Keep your base station to day.

    After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

    Best regards

  • Files of WD My Cloud Airport time capsule

    I use 2T WD My Cloud as a hard disk to backup to my MacBook Pro 13 "2.5 GHz Core i5. How can I do all of my WD My Cloud backup files, transfer to the airport time Capsule. So did anyone get an answer to this question?

    Copy and paste the sparsebundle Time Machine.

    But we do not recommend usually people do. It is much better to just start a new backup for the TC and the old backup on the WD mycloud until you build up a sufficient history... say 3 months on the TC... then you can wipe.

  • Access the Partition on airport Time Capsule 2 TB

    I have successfully partitioned my Airport Time Capsule 500 GB for Time Machine backups and a volume of 1.5 TB to store data.  However the 1.5 TB partition is visible in the Finder when a backup Time Machine is running.  I am new to Mac and OSX.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am running OSX 10.11.2.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have successfully partitioned my Airport Time Capsule 500 GB for Time Machine backups and a volume of 1.5 TB to store data.

    Actually no, you didn't partition disk of TC... you partitioned the sparsebundle (it's a virtual disk) used by TM... and this is a no... in fact, it's such a big not that I recommend you remove the TM backup by erasing the TC and try again... Make a backup clean fee with TM... and never touch again... It is reserved for the TM.

    Create your own file DMG if you insist on storing files in the TC.

    To limit the size, it might be possible to set the size of the sparsebundle max but it is not always viable.

    See here the A8.

    http://pondini.org/TM/troubleshooting.html

    See here Pondini Q3. He is old but still relevant.

    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

    Just so that you understand, there is no tool partition a physical drive TC... you have to remove the disc from the CT and partition on a Mac. then put it back in the TC... This is difficult and I guarantee and will lead to continuous errors on the drive with the firmware of TC.

    The guarantee to the United States on the Time Capsule is 1 year and 2 years in a number of other countries. Apple will replace the device for you.  If the Capsule is longer under warranty but you have AppleCare implemented on one of your Macs, the time Capsule is still covered in this framework up to 3 years from the date of purchase of the time Capsule.

    If the Capsule is not covered, ask Apple to replace the device for you in any case.  If they won't, then unfortunately you yourself, because Apple does not offer repairs or spare parts for the time Capsule. If you are a DIY kind of person, you can open the Capsule and clean the fan or replace the fan. Be extremely careful when you open the time Capsule to shoot components, there are has Ribbon connectors that can easily tear or break if we don't take care.

    Airport Time Capsule A1470 (Mini!) Teardown - iFixit

  • Airport Time Capsule does not completely erase

    1. I sell my Time Capsule airport.  I've referenced the article here: check, repair, or erase a disc AirPort Time Capsule - Apple Support.

    2 - I have completed each step, as shown in the article and place the drive to perform a secure erase drive with 7 assists, which was completed in a little less than 24 hours.

    3. I then checked to ensure that it has been erased and when I click on the Time Machine preferences it says that there are 2 TB 2 TB.

    4. However; He also has dates marked for the "oldest backup" and "Last backup", which I would have assumed that there is no data stored, to include my more old and more recent data backups.

    5. Furthermore, I checked to see why he had these dates and clicked "Enter Time Machine".  To my surprise, there are a number of very recent backups between now and the date of the "more old backup.

    Note:

    6. the time Machine airport has been recorded since mid-September.  It was unplugged and stored in its intact original packaging.  I took it out a week or two just to check there and have been using it without any problem - works perfectly and perform backups.

    7 - the 'oldest' backup is dated the day I put the unit in stock.  It seems that there is no other 'safeguards' existing before that date; However, when I scroll back in time Machine, there are windows that appear earlier on this date in September, but there are no dates on top of these windows and I can't access it.

    8 as mentioned, it is said that 2 TB to 2 TB is available, so for me it's contradictory?

    9 - the device is connected to the internet and my computer has access to the unit all the time he was leading the erase process.

    10. I did not attempt to restore from any of these previous dates in the case of an error, and I lost everything!

    11 - Time Capsule airport is one of the newer models (tour version) purchased, I think, fall of 2014 or 2015 spring.

    Get help to help me erase this disc completely would be very well appreciated.  Thank you.

    See you soon

    3. I then checked to ensure that it has been erased and when I click on the Time Machine preferences it says that there are 2 TB 2 TB.

    It is truly erased... It would show a loss of ability otherwise.

    4. However; He also has dates marked for the "oldest backup" and "Last backup", which I would have assumed that there is no data stored, to include my more old and more recent data backups.

    This information is stored in the local plist... you also need to reset your local time Machine.

    5. Furthermore, I checked to see why he had these dates and clicked "Enter Time Machine".  To my surprise, there are a number of very recent backups between now and the date of the "more old backup.

    Time Machine can make snapshots the... so when the TC is not available it stores the files in your hard drive... This makes it confusing to people.

    11 - Time Capsule airport is one of the newer models (tour version) purchased, I think, fall of 2014 or 2015 spring.

    In the Time Machine disk tab... Make sure that it always shows full disk is available. So it should show up here at 2 TB free as in Time Machine. As long as this is the case, you're good to sell.

    Do a quick erase... and disconnect it from your network. Do not put it back. Time Machine can still detect it's available... did you do a factory reset you need to do this as well to get rid of your passwords etc.

    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.

  • How long backups stay them airport time capsule if I make my computers of restoration

    I want to completely wipe my MacBook Pro and set it up as if new to it clear of files that I don't use often, but I want to keep these files on my Time Capsule airport.

    Ive seen a lot of posts about how after a random time ATC (airport Time Capsule) automatically deletes files that are no longer on this computer that you backed up previously.

    QUICK SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: can I have factory restore my computer and leave my old files to my Time Capsule airport or do I have to connect an external drive to ATC?

    Thank you

    Firefox

    Connect an external hard drive to your computer and put the files it contains. The files you want to keep should be at least two disks; You can fail at any time.

    This can be done when the drive is connected to the time Capsule, but supported formats are more limited, and the process will be slower.
