• Time Capsule used as EHD: how to encrypt data?

  I have a TC of spare... is no longer used as peripheral regular backup... but I gave stored on it - actually I use it as a DHM.

  (I should sell the TC and get a DHM, perhaps!)

  Access to the TC requires a password of course.

  However. I don't think that my data on the TC is encrypted. While I do not use it as a time Machine (TC is off)... Anyway, I don't see how to encrypt the data.

  Is it possible to encrypt these data? Otherwise, the content of the data is not really secure?

  Any clarification welcome.

  As you probably know, you can encrypt the backups Time Machine, but to encrypt internal hard drive on a Time Capsule, you have essentially two choices:

  1. Remove the hard drive; Install it in a disk enclosure or a caddy and then plug it directly into your Mac. Then use OS X to encrypt the drive.
  2. Without having to remove the disc, create a disc image encrypted on the internal drive of the time Capsule, and then move any content in this image.

• 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?

• My verse ATT modem (non apple devices to use this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs Time Capsule use) via ethernet Uverse.) Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  My verse ATT modem ({use of devices not apple wifi of this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs use the wifi of the time Capsule) and connect to the Uverse modem via ethernet.)

  Both devices are set to the highest security and each uses separate passwords.

  Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

  Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

  If you ask if a PC can read the files on the Time Capsule, the answer is Yes, without doubt, assuming that the PC knew the password of device for the time Capsule.

• Time Capsule: No available backup drive

  I read a bunch of wires and nothing has worked.

  I have a MB Pro El Capitan 10.11.1, 2011 old version 2 TB TC running. I just moved and now have Fios new router/modem. Formerly Comcast.

  I plugged TC AC and ethernet to Fios. Got the green light. Open Airport utility. Clicked on change. Network (came into bridge mode). reset and renamed TC (as in troubleshooting, someone said to be renamed TC with new installation).

  I tried to make a Time Machine backup and get the message "backup drive is not available. I restarted. Nothing seems to work.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  We do not know this as you've read, or have tried, but if you have not already changed the settings in Time Machine preferences to indicate your Mac how to locate your Time Capsule on your 'new' network... now would be a good time to do that.

  Reason... If you have not done this... your Mac is still to try to locate the time Capsule using the path on your 'old' network... and your Time Capsule is now on another network 'new '. The Mac will never find that she can come back until he knows how to locate the Capsule of time on your network.

  Did you do that?  After the back if you are not sure.

• Can I use my time capsule for wired Internet?

  The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

  The back story: I have an i7 iMac late 2009 that has worked perfectly until that somewhere around OS x Lion. The update came, and suddenly the wifi became shotty; intermittent connectivity that could last from 2 hours to 2 minutes and often, the computer would suddenly turns off. So, I just took an Ethernet cable from my gateway wireless comcast directly to my time capsule and then another was running for the TC to the iMac. It worked perfectly when the router and the iMac were in the same room. Since then, we moved and there is only a single coaxial connection of work in the new House, and this room that can hold your desktop. Now, I searched high and low for a fix for the problem of wifi, without success; reset the PRAM, change the wireless channel reset wireless packet, you name it I tried it (with the exception of a reinstallation of firmware lion before the airport summary-pretend). I really do not have the money to have someone come run an Ethernet cable through my walls now or to understand the situation of coaxial cable (I tried to do it me but there are about 10 outputs and the room that I want to use seems to actually be connected directly on a former satellite Hughes-NET on the side of the House). Now, this wireless to the dream of the Ethernet connection is my only option... Anyway I can make it work?

  The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

  The answer is not quite as simple.

  Yes... If your 'hand' wireless router is another Apple wireless router.

  No.... If your 'hand' wireless router is a part 3.

  However, you have two options if you have a 3rd party router that provides to your wireless network:

  (1) add an AirPort Express and it set up to 'join' the network wireless provided by your 3rd party product. Then, the AirPort Express can provide wired Ethernet cable of the Time Capsule and the iMac can connect to the time Capsule using Ethernet as well.

  (2) If you can not run the Ethernet cable... (always the best performance option)... a pair of Ethernet over Powerline adapters could be able to send the Ethernet signal via power lines the existing AC in your House.  In other words, the theory with EoP devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you must just adapters.

  An adapter would be located near your router 'primary' and plugged into an outlet. A short Ethernet cable connects to the router to the EoP adapter.  In contrast, an another EoP adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the time Capsule and a short Ethernet cable connects from the adapter to the time Capsule. Then, the iMac connects to time Capsule using a different Ethernet cable as well.

• Using Time Capsule airport on 2 devices

  for some reason, I have a PET of brain here and do not understand this.

  My wife has a laptop computer macpro she does his grad school stuff on.   I have an iMac.   I also have the time capsules from the airport.  the woman is set up with time machine, it sends data via wifi to the time capsule. It is very good.  The mine records at the same Time capsule airport wireless.

  ME, I would use one different wifi router other than the airport on another network device I have, however, the question is: is it possible that I can keep the wifi for the operation of the Apple device and connect my computer via ethernet to the device for the back upward only, using the capsule on the imac.

  I think I can, but I don't want to screw up the wireless network.

  You can use both ethernet and wireless at the same time... but it becomes complicated with the gateway router and DNS values.

  Secondary wireless router should use another address LAN IP for the TC, so you can separate the two networks.

  This could lead to further questions about the network although because you must plug a router into the other I presume... unless you are completely isolate the TC from the internet or if you have in fact two internet connections.

  Give me the real details.

  What is the second router and IP is running?

  How is the installation of TC and what IP is running?

  Screenshots that make it easier.

  I did a write up with screenshots here, which will give you the basics.

• Using a Time Capsule airport on a new wifi network

  I'm trying to connect my TC Airport to a new wifi network to another location. It worked very well at the original location, used to extend an existing network of wifi, connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. In the new location, I'd rather have a wireless connection. I have tried several times to do a factory reset full and then I see the TC from the airport using the Airport utility, but it does not put in place to extend the wifi network my iMac is on (he sees a nearby network as well). I just simply want to configure my TC from the airport most convenient to save my iMac! Any ideas? Thank you!

  The TC must either connect to wireless to another router from apple... or it must be connected by ethernet... he can't extend wireless any other brand.

  If all of the TC is to is to make backups of iMac... Plug it directly by ethernet on the iMac... and use this configuration.

  Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

  If you want to have as part of the network... plug in ethernet on the main router... and the backup more wireless... but it becomes a problem where the computer don't connect directly to the TC now.

• Time Capsule wireless bridge

  After great to work for a year, I had problems recently with Time Capsule using our router, abandonment, etc... As did others on this forum, we had mult calls to ISP about the quality of the line. They said that we were crashing our data upstream limit, which blew our connection. Looks like iCloud with services of Photo services were the problem. We have Mac running 10.9.5 but daughter improved to Capitan and using the services of the most recent and cloud. Without the ability to limit the range of QOS, I had to get a new Nighthawk so I could limit QOS upstream to 80% of the capacity which has not dropouts. Now it serves as main router. I wired TC as an expensive network switch and for Time Machine backup hard drive. Has any found a way to connect the TC wireless? (I want to go the new router to more central location and keep TC where it is on the lower level) This threshold door Base Station to its former network password and have / send mode wireless network and network/router - Off Mode (Bridge). I am currently letting Netgear assign the full range of DHCP, but ready to try a limited on the main router range and let the TC have then end of range ( LaPastenaguesolution). But the problem seems to be that the TC will only see signals from other devices of Apple wireless? If so, then no devices Apple more for me.

  6.3.2 (632,3), TC 7.7.3, OSX 10.9.5 Airport utility

  Has any found a way to connect the TC wireless?

  Not much of interest to spend time on it to try to find a solution... when the firmware for the TC will not allow this.

  An older version of 'flat or square' TC working in tandem with an older version 5.x of AirPort utility would allow a manual workaround solution, but no luck with the latest TCs and 6.x newer versions of AirPort Utility... or the most recent TC and the older utility.

  Looks like no Apple devices more for you, unless you want to consider a wireless Ethernet bridge to feed the TC signal he wants.

• 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.

• A Mac can be backed up to a Time Capsule via USB?

  I know that you can save on a Time Capsule using ethernet and WiFi, but anyone who is interested to buy my 4' 2 TB Time Capsule generation th asked if she can save via a USB port. I do not have a USB 2.0 to USB 2.0 cable, otherwise I will try to understand this.

  No, it's for attaching an extra drive.

• How to encrypt time capsule after being 1st backups have clear?

  Hello world

  If I backed up my data on my Time Capsule form decrypted and changed my mind, can I I now encrypt the Capsule of time without having to format it and do it again?

  Thank you very much!

  If you are still using the OS X Mavericks (10.9.x)... as you enter... so you can have Time existing Machine to encrypt the backup file that you already have. It will take a long time... probably 3 or 4 times longer that it took to execute the first backup without encryption. Once this has been done, all future backups will be encrypted.

  However, if you have a newer OS on your Mac as El Capitan and Yosemite, Apple removed the ability to encrypt existing backups in these systems, so you will need to start over, wipe the drive, and then choose the option to encrypt your backups, then rerun the first backup with active encryption.

  If possible, connect your Mac directly on the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection... (and turn off the WiFi on Mac)... for the first backup help to speed things along. Even in this case, you should expect the first backup to take at least 2 - 3 times longer than a backup not encrypted.

• Encryption of the existing backups on Time Capsule

  I have old backups on my TC since 2009. I need them and I don't want to lose them. But I also want to encrypt and have access to all backups in Time Machine, because of private and confidential data. This procedure might work?

  • Open the Time Machine pane in system preferences.
  • Turn off time Machine then click on the button "Select Disk... ».
  • Remove your current backup disk.
  • Then, simply select the drive as your backup once more and check the option "Encrypt backups" and enter a password for the backup. Apple will now encrypt the entire disk backup - including your previous backups.
  • Finally, turn on Time Machine, and you're all set!

  Thank you!

  In theory, this will work.  In the practice, this work probably, but... and that's a very big BUT... it's going to take forever and a day to encrypt all the backups of the old man, which is something that the article forgot to mention.

  Even if you have your Mac connected to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable... it will take days and perhaps more than a week for the initial process to complete, depending on the amount of data you have on the Time Capsule.

  A lot can go wrong over the days and days of a backup, so if you decide to try this... Make sure you have at least a copy or an Archive... of all the data on the Time Capsule disk... before... .you start the encryption process.

• Time Capsule no longer works in conjunction with the ISP modem

  Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and my apologies if similar topics have already answered - rushed for this post, so I did not have too much time to browse the forums - please point me in the right direction if other threads exist!

  I'm in the United Kingdom and Virgin like my ISP... I had my Time Capsule for almost a year now and if it had connected to the Virgin Super Hub (dial-up Modem mode), without any problems. A few weeks back, I started to notice the drops intermittent in the Internet, until it finally went down all together without apparent reason. Now I can no longer use the Network Time Capsule using a Macbook, laptop computer Windows, Smartphone, Tablet, or Console games (I can always connect to the network, but there is 'no internet'). After talking at length with Virgin they basically blame the Time Capsule and say they cannot help me because it is not their technology. Since cutting the Capsule and turning back on the Super hub wireless, everything works again. I tried the simple things like rebooting, check connections etc., but to no avail.

  I have a lot of backups on the time Capsule (I use it for work purposes), so I'm afraid to play with things too in case they are deleted, but now desperately need to get operational new... Should I look for to reset the Capsule of time and/or remove/reset the wireless network I created when the first set up (if everything resets is possible without deleting the stored files)? Any help or advice would be much appreciated... Sorry for the long post!

  Thank you guys so much!

  The first part is to ease your mind... the TC is perfectly ok with reset... nothing can be deleted by using the reset button or reset everything in airport utility... the only way to erase the hard drive is to clear its contents through the disk tab in the airport utility.

  We noticed a lot of problems with the WAN port on the TC... And a bunch of modems... This can happen a day or day 366... but once it starts, it doesn't go away.

  Connect the TC in the Virgin hub working in router mode full... you're going to fill the TC.

  1 factory reset the TC.

  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.

  2. make a new configuration of your Mac or iOS devices.

  With the wan of the TC plugged into the hub of Virgin by ethernet it should choose default wire bridge... If this isn't the case, manually change the configuration.

  3. once it is bridged leave the connection of the Virgin hub since the LAN of the TC port WAN... and see how it goes...

  If it works ok for the backup then continue to use it... If it's still questions... Please post screenshots... or consider to resume to apple... in the United Kingdom, you should have a legal guarantee of a couple of years... much longer warranty Apple offer directly.

• Interference between the capsules of the time when the erasure of a time capsule

  I have a couple of old time capsule and base stations to the airport that I need to clear before you sell or give their.  They have some settings that are the same as my current active Time Capsule including the name of the device, network name and.  I am concerned by the deletion time capsule to interfere with my active Time Capsule wireless.  Do I have to close my TC active erasing one of the old TCS or airport base stations so that it does not interfere with the Active TC wireless?  I plan to make the deletion process via a cable ethernet from an another iMac located two floors below the Active TC in.

  Temporarily turning off the current active Time Capsule.

  Connect your MacBook Pro or another laptop computer directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule Ethernet to alternatives including the drive you want to erase using a short cable... is going to any Ethernet cable length.

  Then, the same thing to the other time Capsule with the drive you want to erase.

  If you don't have a laptop to use, then move each time Capsule to be cleared near the iMac and connect the iMac directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule and perform the operation of deletion in this way.

  If you plan to keep the two Time Capsule that will be deleted, you can use Quick erase procedure, which takes only a few minutes.  However, if you plan to spend the Time Capsule (s) to another person, you must perform a safer Zero data on the Time Capsule (s).
