  • What wireless network for Time Capsule backups?

    Just installed a new Capsule of time at home. The time Capsule is a wireless router, and I can connect all my devices wirelessly to the Network Time capsule wireless. I still 2 other active wireless networks because I use 2 additional wireless routers for access anywhere in the House. All three of my wireless networks are created from the same internet modem. I want to confirm is whether or not my Mac can be connected to one of the 3 networks for automatic backups on the Time Capsule wireless? Or is the Mac must be connected to the network of the time Capsule for automatic backups to time capsule wireless? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The same as the TC.

    Set the other to extend the network of transport CANADA instead of create a network.

  • How to reset the password for the system administrator for Time Capsule?

    I need to do a system restore to 2008 MacBook my wife of my 2014 Time Capsule, and I'm stuck at the system administrator password prompt. It does not accept the password to base such as revealed by the Airport utility station > base station > show passwords on my MBP, which is able to save and enter Time Machine, even if the TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password. I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

    Although TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password

    You must use the right of the user and the password in this case. NOT the password from the drive.

    I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

    Reset complete... It will not damage the backups somehow... It simply returns to the default values.

    Let me recommend to you if you want to continue using the TC in this way... (useless IMHO). Please do an export of the configuration before factory reset you.

    With the help of user and passwords in the TC is near useless. It only affects the side of the router...

    If you need more security using encrypted backups... but the reality is... the security more you add less useful the backup is likely to be. As you have now discovered... When you need it... you need as clear and clear as possible.

  • Several networks on Time Capsule

    Can someone explain to me why I have several networks? I went through the Airport utility, and I find myself with 5 networks. I understand the 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, but it seems to be confusing to some of my mottos (xBox, Wii, etc.). Thank you.

    You do not tell us how many airport routers, you might have, but it looks like you have 3 devices... unless you named the guest network the same as your main network.

    Recent versions of the airport are simultaneous dual-band, so they produce a signal Wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with the same network name.  So, it's 2 networks for a router.

    If you have a second airport, set up to extend or expand the network, then it too will be 2 networks with the same wireless network name. So, it's more than 2 networks for the second airport... for a total of 4 so far.

    Pourriez you have a version of a band unique AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express. So it's 1 over the network.  Or, if you have a recent version of the airport, the scan did not pick up the 'other' network at the time.

    Total... 5 networks.  Quite normal.

    Wireless devices choose the router with the signal the harder... at least in theory... then choose 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz according to their abilities and the distance to the airport.

    Of course, a feature which is 2.4 GHz only will connect to the 2.4 GHz network, then... in theory... it will choose the strongest signal 2.4 GHz of the nearest router.

    If a device can connect to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz... It will be connected to 5 GHz, if it's in the same room or in immediate proximity to the router. But as signals of 5 GHz are much lower than 2.4 GHz signals, the same device will connect probably in 2.4 GHz if she moves a piece or two away from the router.

  • Can I start again with time capsule 2 TB existing using an existing iMac and a new iMac.

    Trying to understand several iMacs and Time Capsule.  Can I save a 2 iMacs on my Time Capsule?  I am running AutoCAD LT 1015 on my new iMac, so far, I've not put back up on my Time Capsule.  I'm worried it might be a problem with the existing backup tutorial AutoCAD on the Time Capsule, interfering with the new version purchased.  Therefore, I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

    I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

    Yes you can. The way simplest and quickest way to accomplish what you want is clear the Time Capsule disk and then start over again with a new backup of a Mac. Then, once it's over, make a new backup of the other Mac.

    When the two Macs have saved for the first time, then both will continue back up automatically and gradually.

  • Change of name affects NetBios of Mac Time Capsule?

    Hi all

    I noticed that my netbios name is the one I always used with '-2' after him, I don't know why and can't remember if I chose that, but I basically changed it back to what it was without the extra part. However I've done backups to my Apple Time Capsule with the "nom_netbios-2". Now that I've renamed "nom_netbios", is that going to affect my Time Capsule? Sorry for the question but I'm quite new with Time Capsule. Thank you!

    Check if you have backups for two Macs with similar names, rather than backups for a Mac as follows:

    Open any window in the Finder on your Mac

    Look for Time Capsule icon under the title shared on the left side of the window

    Click the Time Capsule and a folder called 'Data' (unless you have changed the name of the Time Capsule disk) appears in the box on the right

    Double click on data to open the player. You may be asked the peripheral or the administrator Time Capsule password if you have not done this before

    Now look to see if there is a file "sparsebundle" for your Mac, or there are two

    Ideally, you do not want to only see one file with the normal name of your Mac

    Report on the results

  • Could not find the Time Capsule for Time Machine backup drive

    My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

    For anyone a cela or similar questions are you go in your Utilities folder (in your applications folder) and run the utility airport to see what he says about the disks attached. This cannot work for the readers of time capsule Apple rather than third party readers who have been designated as the backup time drives machine.

    You just set up the new TC and plug the old TC... copy the sparsebundle existing old TC to the new... but we do not recommend to do this.

    It's much better to start a new backup TM on the new TC and keep the old one for several months until you have a fair story and if you need never old file the chances you decreases considerably with time.

  • 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.

    Time Capsule.   After six years of good operation, my Time Capsule shows a yellow light flashing instead of green light solid.  It seems to work fine, and I tried l ' switch off and restart, nothing helps.  An update is necessary?

    The Capsule of time... and other Apple routers... flashing orange when they have a message for you. To see what it is...

    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

    Click on the image of the Time Capsuleand a small window will appear

    If you see an Update button, then new firmware is available for the Capsule of time if you want to install this package. To do this, click on the Update button

  • Time capsule for iTunes and photos

    Hello

    I'm looking to use a time capsule as a library for my media such as iTunes, photos and videos, and have more than one mac to access all records.  Disks hard on Macs at home are getting clogged with this type of file and I would like to have both machine to be able to add to or reading of the time capsule.  I hope that this is possible, as a proper storage solution.  It is possible that I have buy another mac with a smaller SSD drive and such shame to not be able to access or control my support of it.

    I hope this is the solution you are looking for.

    Unfortunately supports for photos is all local computer or iCloud.

    What happens if you move the library to the CT and open it it is unknown..., ask people in the photos section.

    iPhoto have a part with network functionality, at least until the latest version... but note... it was never to be shared on a TC... Apple said he explicitly did not load the libraries of iphoto on the TC as they have damaged. It could be shared to the network from a computer.

    You can store pictures in raw form, of course... but you can not use a central library on a local network device.

    iTunes is a little different... library of the CT should be ok... I doubt, however, that several computers can do at the same time... You can have several copies of the library maybe... Although apple do try and control... every computer and device must register via iCloud... and up to 5 devices is allowed.

    Apple do not have a server edition of pictures or iTunes... strange that sounds... and a lot of sharing with the local network moved to iCloud, which is another way for apple to make money... but unfortunately even if you can pay for it... It is only for the rich internet... Ie download and upload speeds for the vast majority of people internet speeds are still to achieve anything beyond race snails in a wall.
