• 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?

  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.

• Apple airport time capsule 2 TB HD Wireless with encryption?

  Hello I know that the time capsule is intended for backup and knows he can have external hard drive but I heard that it can be a wireless file server.

  Now, my questions are: 1: what methods are there for this (without hard drive)

  2: is there encryption or some form of protection (password)

  3: is it a good idea for home storage or too far and sending files (I have things I want to store)

  4: and as an internet router it'll work itself flawless

  Thank you

  1: what methods are there for this (without external hard drive)

  The TC may function as a file server... It is not designed for it... but it can.

  You don't need any special method... He is, by nature, a network file server.

  2: is there encryption or some form of protection (password)

  There is password protection of disk... you can also use several names of users and passwords, but if use you it you have to use an empty disk because it completely blocks one user of another.

  Note... There is no protection if someone has physical access to the TC and press reset... any protection blows away at this moment.

  If you want encryption then using an encrypted DMG file. How to create an image (encrypted) disc protected by password - Apple support

  3: is it a good idea for home storage or too far and sending files (I have things I want to store)

  Good idea... Hmmm. compared to what? I have a synology NAS, and it's at least 2 x if it is 3 x faster... It is reliable, it is able to repair, it can save itself,

  TC is not designed for this... it can not save... so all files you use on TC will must be backed up manually or by using a tool such as the CCC... TM doesn't help... It can use the TC as a target, but not source.

  However, it is an inexpensive way in wireless storage... If you're careful.

  You can remotely using the MWAC... only from a Mac so.

  4: and as an internet router it'll work itself flawless

  It's the home router of quality... for some people, it's fine... for others it will not work... apple not allowing complex configurations... who can predict how to find you. As a network, router, there are better support out there. However if you already have an it could work ok.

• 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.

• I can't link my photosmart HP 6150 for the wireless of my time capsule? Please indicate how to solve

  I try to connect my new HP Photosmart 6510 e - All - in - One Printer - B211a for wifi to my time capsule (Airport). But without success, according to the report, that it fails to find the SSID, but it has been checked 5 times. My name SSIS contains & and spaces.

  Here are a few ideas:

  1. make sure that your router is broadcasting its SSID.

  2 change the Router 2.4 GHz to 11 channel.

  3. remove the '&' since the SSID for testing purposes.

• 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.

• 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.

  

• says that there is an update of firmware available for my 3 t time capsule. I get "an error occurred when downloading". How to find the problem?

  I said that there is an update of the firmware available for my 3 t time capsule. I get the message "an error occurred when downloading". How to find the problem? I have elcapitan 10.11.6 and capsule version 7.7.3

  Try temporarily, connect your MacBook Pro to your Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection... If not already, then try downloading the firmware again.

• 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.

• How can I change the name of the ion HD my Time Capsule airport

  My time capsule airport has changed its name to data and now I can't use it. What can I do?

  Not sure why you can't use 'Data' as the name of the disk hard Time Capsule, since it is the default value.

  But, if you want to change the name of 'Data' to something else...

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

  Click on the image of the time Capsule

  Click on edit in the window that appears

  Click the disks at the top of the next window

  Next to Partitions, you will see "Data".

  Click directly on the name of 'Data' and the box will change to allow you to edit the name, just as you can change the name of any other player

  In the example below, I changed the name of the drive 'safeguards '.

• 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.
