• Time capsule of access on the Internet (PC MAC or Windows)

  Hi, I have a Time Capsule, and I want to create a folder and be able to access from anywhere on the Internet (regardless if it's on a MAC or PC based on Windows). I read several posts and google, but still I am unable to set up the time Capsule. Can any experienced user me explained step by step?

  Thank you

  You need to tell us a few things.

  1 do you have TC as the only router in the network.

  If this is not the case, the configuration is entirely via the main modem router combo.

  Without a public IP address on the interface wan everything that is your router, you will not be able to access it remotely. For the most part, wireless, satellite or internet shared building will not allow always remote access.

  2. double NAT will never work, so if you already have another router modem the TC must be in the bridge.

  3 Apple offers NO WAY for PC/windows remote access to the TC. Neither iOS btw... the Apple of the only method allows is AFP via a Mac.

  Local people do via SMB to TC port mapping... It is poor and does not always work.

  The tool used for iOS, filebrowser shows how this is possible.

  I do not recommend this somehow... It's open ports in a way that reduces your security seriously.

  I repeat... Apple has no PC access.

  4. There is a safe way to do it... buy a vpn router and use before the TC. VPN is recognized global method for secure remote access. Who will work for any device having vpn client available... OpenVPN is the easiest in terms of cost, configuration and security.

  5. There is another method entirely, and that is to store the files you need to join in the cloud... Cloud is a better resource than to use your own router as Pseudo-nuage.

  If you eliminate the need for PC access then use BTMM for access to the TC.

  CCMM is authorized only and only the Apple method which are likely to work.

  Have you even tried yet?

  See Tesserax doco on remote access.

• Airport Time Capsule HD access

  I have an AC of 802.11 airport Time Capsule 3 to, PartNumber: ME182LL/A, and I want to save my MacBook Air by Time Capsule app.

  In addition, I use it as an external hard drive, moving some files to the airport Time Capsule using the Finder.

  I use physical conection from my MacBook to the trough of Time Capsule a RJ45-USB converter.

  But I am extremelly experiencing a lot of time to access my files using the Finder.

  Do you have an idea how I can fix this connection?

  Do you have an idea how I can fix this connection?

  I guess that your Mac has a Thunderbolt port.

  Use a Thunderbolt for the Ethernet card.  It's up to 10 times faster than the USB adapter. Your actual speed will be 4 to 5 times faster than USB.

• Remote Access Time capsule with windows 10 pc

  I have my time Capsule connected to the router of the provider internet I easily access from inside my home network and with a Mac, I'm not able to access remotely with my Windows 10 PC and my iPad Time Capsule (I only am not able to Set up hold File Manager app). My internet provider to put in place a connection port on the router and I tried several TCP 20/21/80/8080/548 ports without success.

  Any suggestion wich port to set?

  Thank you

  You will need a computer that uses AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) to access from a remote location Time Capsule.  Windows 10 does not have this feature, so you will not be able to use the time Capsule to access from a remote location using a PC.

  Although it is not officially supported by Apple, you can usually access the time from an iPad Capsule using the navigation application.  The navigation instructions are there, and they do not work for me when I try this:

• Flash DRIVE - through works of Time Capsule, but not directly to the Mac.

  What I want to achieve:

  -Access to the USB - stick when it is connected directly to the MBA with USB cable.

  The working configuration:

  -USB-drive ("coffee") connected to Time Capsule and used as an external hard drive to save the files (like huge-any libraries).

  Does not:

  -USB-player ("coffee") is directly connected to the MBA.

  Possible cause:

  -The drive is secured by a setting that I could have done on the Time Capsule and so only time Capsule can access.

  Solved!

  Well, then shame on me, but it all seemed to give my user rights to access the drive... I thought about it while searching for the settings on the possession of the car.

• My Airport Time Capsule can act as a WIRELESS access point

  Hello.

  I brought a Time Capsule with my Mac Pro. It worked well since yesterday.

  I have set up the time Capsule as a WIFI, bypass at my local network access point. There is a router (cable) works at home.

  It's my Mac Pro AirPort Utility and my iPhone, my Time Capsule is displayed with an exclamation point saying "device not found". I can't connect to the disk on this subject by afp share, or smb. Time Machine function is gone too. He failed trying to connect to the share drive from another computer connected to the time Capsule by cable network.

  But at the same time, WiFi works well.

  I tried to recycle energy. Sharing disk will be available. But if I start the Time Machine backup, it will not be a few seconds.

  Any idea?

  Thank you.

  There are several posts here related the issue.

  Luckily, you have set up your new Time Capsule for Back to My Mac (BTMM)?

  If so, the 'temporary' solution is to delete/disable the option of the CCMM, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
  • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  If you have not enabled CCMM, we have other options for you to try.

• Use WAN connected airport Time Capsule as a wireless access point

  I had to replace a failed 4 Gen Time Capsule. I tried to install a new Gen 5 airport TimeCapsule via WAN and set up the airport to act as a wireless access point. It is installed in an area of my house with wireless coverage. In the network of AirPort Utility Mode section, I chose "extend a wireless network. The TC is restarted, I get an error message cannot find the intended wireless network.

  What I lack?

  "Extend a wireless network" is a parameter that is only used if the time Capsule need to connect to another router from Apple with the help of a Wi-Fi connection.

  You use Ethernet to connect, you must use the parameter to "create a wireless network. Use the same wireless network name and the same password as your "primary" router

• Time Capsule bridge and access point?

  Hello

  I have a question about the network wireless of my TC. Our provider has installed a new router. These router can not work as bridge, telephone and TV are also connected to this router. Because 2 wifi networks do not work, I wonder what is the best set-up for the network? The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? So that I can put it off the wireless of the TC or the ISP router: can I use the TC-wifi (create a new network) or wifi existing ISP router to connect with wireless devices?

  -Do I lose speed when I'm with 2 devices on my network: TC as the ISP as a router and Access Point.

  (I always thought that 1 unit for router and access point is the best configuration.)

  -Are faster backup copies using the TC wireless or it does not matter when I backup on the wireless ISP?

  Some maybe stupid questions, but thanks in advance. Greetings.

  Because 2 wifi networks do not work

  Many people think that this is the case... but this isn't so.

  You can use several wireless networks... all attached to the same router. There is enough bandwidth available in the channels wireless for the operation of 3 different wireless networks nearby each other... and using 5 GHz adds much more.

  The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  The configuration of TC in bridge is correct.

  Do not turn off the TC wireless... Provide a different name for the ISP wireless router and connect your computer... then you can get internet and make backups on the TC without overloading the ISP router wireless.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? If I disable the wireless of the TC or the ISP router:

  Turn on Wi - Fi in both.

  A physical configuration, it is recommended to have say separation of 1 M (3 feet) between the ISP router and the TC to a min. But it would be even better to have the TC at near the Mac who performs backups TM and related to the ISP router with ethernet.

• Time Capsule access denied

  Hello.

  After upgrading to os x 10.11, airport utility does not recognize the time capsule password so I can't access it and its hard drive.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  Reset the TC factory and redo the installation.

  No files are lost on the drive hard when you do this.

  Here is my recommendation for installation in later operating system.

  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.

  The installer the TC.

  And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

  4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

  5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually.

  In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

  Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

  You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

  However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

  6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

  It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

  You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

• I can't access the backups on Time Capsule

  A month ago I deleted from my hard drive and more. I have a MacBook Pro 2012 running macOS. I can't access the files on Time Capsule before is erased in the month of August, I can see the story in the timeline panel, but I don't have access to anything before erasure. Is it possible to access to the files before the wipe?

  What hard drive you are talking about: one internal on your MacBook Pro (MBP), an external drive attached to the MBP for Time Machine backups, or internal hard drive to time Capsule?

• Sonos access playlists itunes stored on Time Capsule?

  I moved itunes to my file storage folder on my Time Capsule, but when I arrived in Manage > SONOS music library settings, I can not understand how to connect to Time Capsule. I guess I have to select "on a network device such as a network attached storage (NAS)", but I don't know what to do next.

  Help, please!

  Files stored on the Time Capsule, his internal drive or an external drive attached to its USB port, are considered as network drives. If your SONOS application can access network drives, then it should be able to locate these files on the Time Capsule.

  Since I don't have a SONOS device to check, the typical path on the drive would be: \ < name of base station >-< partition or the shared disk name >

• 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.

• Access the 4th generation Time Capsule data remotely in Mac and PC

  Hi all

  I intend to log in case Apple support, but my Service and Support coverage is already expired > _ <.

  Apple PC does not support mobile devices like IOS or android, so in this top, I'll focus on Mac and PC.

  Appreciate if you guys could give me advice on how to set it up properly.

  Material and Configuration:

  -ASUS RT-AC5300

  Firmware version: last 3.0.0.4.380_3341 - g25420f5

  IP: 192.168.1.1

  -Configured Port forwarding, Port 548 to 192.168.1.85 in ASUS router

  -Time Capsule from Apple 4th generation (Firmware version: 7.6.7 last)

  IP: 192.168.1.85

  -Cable for direct LAN connection between TC Apple and ASUS router

  I can access my Apple TC LAN for PC and Mac (for PC, installed the Base Station Agent from the airport, for Mac, I access it via the Finder with credentials for password)

  Tried several times to set the TC to be able to access remotely to both Mac and PC platform, also read many articles, no luck.

  Grateful if someone here can guide me on how to configure it so that it works correctly.

  In your Mac, in the finder, use Go, connect to the server.

  Type of AFP://yourpublicIP

  Download your public IP address of the router asus news... remote WAN you should use DDNS... iCloud is useless... disable in the TC... It does not work behind another router for most people.

  But you must use the public IP address or DDNS address... It is available in the Asus firmware. Best is to buy a static public IP address from your ISP... This is the only reliable method... is worth a bit of money on a dynamic IP.

  This is unnecessary for Windows computer... Access SMB is usually blocked by ISP and Windows does not support AFP.

  Please post your pictures directly here... It's so much easier, then, for us to see.

  

• no access to Time Capsule

  Hello, thank you in advance for your help - I really hope that someone can offer helpful advice on this:

  I've had my Time Capsule since 11 end and he has never had a single problem. Nearly a month ago it suddenly started failing to save and to give this message:

  The backup disk image ' / Volumes/Data/nexthursday.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).

  The password to access the disk, the name is correct, the network works perfectly on all devices, printer is powered AirPrint through it; basically everything kept working as before, it is just the synchronization with the disk that suddenly stopped.

  What happens is I run the backup (right now I keep automatic backups because they are just useless); I chose the disk; type the password, accepted; It will of "Looking for backup disks" to "Preparing for backup"-now this phase lasts too long, in fact it crashes and after a few minutes, I get the "the backup disk image ' / Volumes/Data/nexthursday.sparsebundle ' could not be found (error (null)).»

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I'm terribly afraid that I was not able to save anything, for a month now, and I worked madly so I can't afford to lose everything if something happens.

  Time Capsule 2 TB (same time as the laptop)

  Thank you once again,

  Chiara

  End TC 2011 is now 5years old or very close. (It might even be a hardware version 3).

  The usual recommended the TC lasts 3 years... also he will lose reliability and more than 5 years, I would put replacement as head of list.

  Forget trying to fix it.

  If you are at all concerned about your backups... go out and buy a 2 TB or more large USB key... do it now, do it NOW.

  Which plug in your laptop and the installation disk... must be HFS + formatted.

  I recommend that partition into two parts... Use Carbon Copy Cloner or similar for the partition to boot and TM for the secondary partition. Have a clone bootable your computer will get you upwards and in a few minutes.

  It is faster and more reliable and much cheaper than the replacement of the TC. Expect that Apple will release a new version of the TC before buying again as the current one, we're now > 3 years on the market and the design of 4 years.

  You can continue to use the TC as a router until it dies.

• Airport Time Capsule 2 TB blocking my internet access.

  I just bought a new airport Time Capsule 2 TB. When it is plugged in and running, I lose access to the internet! There is a wifi wireless in the House. What is the cause?

  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?
