• 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 '.

  Click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the changes you have made

  

• How to see files saved on my Time Capsule airport? All I see is the name of my hardrive.

  I have recently started using Apple's Time Capsule airport and use it for my Time Machine backups. When I used Time machine in the post with an external hard drive, I can go and see all the backups and individual files, if I needed to. However, with my new Time Capsule airport, I don't see the name of my hard drive. Is there a setting someone to reveal all the files and individual backups?

  If you want to see the files Time Machine has saved on your Mac...

  Click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac

  Click on enter Time Machine

  For more information about Time Machine, see this Apple support document: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple supported

  However, if you are asking how to see the files that Time Machine has saved time using the Finder Capsule...

  Click on the Time Capsule icon under the heading Shared in a Finder window

  A disc hard... named 'Data' unless you have changed the name... is displayed on the right

  Double click 'Data' (may asked you the peripheral Time Capsule password when you do this)

  Double-click the sparsebundle bearing the name of your Mac

  A reader named Time Machine backups will appear on the desktop

  Open the drive and go through the levels to find the files you want

• Set up the time capsule airport as a media server

  I would like to know the procedure step by step to set up my Airport time capsule as my media server to watch movies, listen to music. No help here please? Thanks in advance.

  Step by step is simple, because they do not exist. This is because you cannot use Time Capsule as a media server because it does not provide this type of service. At best, you can use your TC for storage media. Then you still have a media server to access these files for distribution. This media server could be iTunes, Plex, or in infusion for example.

• Time Capsule airport 10057 error: computer recognizes airport exists but cannot connect

  Hello everyone. I am currently unable to access the NAC on my Time Capsule Airport (not HQ one), as my password seems incorrect. However, this issue of mix, I am unable to connect using AirPort Utility at the Time Capsule airport in order to use a "soft reset". I can't push the button, but after that, it is impossible to actually access the settings from the airport using the utility.

  I'm on Windows 8, using the AirPort Utility for Windows 8.

  I tried the following:

  • every possible permutation of IPv4/6
  • a_l'_aide_de CTRL + SHIFT + O, and then perform one) I don't have the password and b) if I type in gibberish it gives me another error (-6753)
  • disconnect, reconnect, reboot, etc, etc.

  Just to be clear:

  • I know that the WIFI password
  • I know the old password to the NAC
  • I do not know how to change the password of the NAC
  • My shift caps lock is not on

  After a soft reset of the password is public... What have you tried?

  There is no password on the wireless for 5 minutes during the soft reset.

  In any case to fix... doing a factory reset full. No files are lost in the process.

  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.

  Make sure you use ethernet to connect to the TC, not wireless. It tends to work better that windows wireless Gets a bit NARKY...

  If you don't know what that means NARKY... and I don't know what means NAC.

• time capsule airport cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found

  I just purchased a Time capsule airport and can't install. It flashes orange, and although that Time Machine backs up on it, and I can access the internet, I don't remember upward the back-up because I got the following error message:

  "'Airport Time Capsule' could not open the original item cannot be found".

  The printer is connected to the Capsule by USB works.

  I'm installing via an iMac.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  You first need to determine what is at stake that indicates the LED "blinking orange.

  To make your iMac:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the Time Capsule
  • In the pop-up window, all questions will appear in the status section.

  Please post back your findings.

• Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

  Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

  A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

  If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

  See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

  Old but still interesting to read.

  You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

  Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

  Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

  Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

  A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

• Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder?

  Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder on my MAC?

  "Devices" are connected directly to a Mac and would include things like USB hard drive, FireWire drive and Thunderbolt drive, etc.

  The Capsule is a "network" connected to a network drive... If the operating system on your Mac behave, Time Capsule will appear in the Shared section.

  If you have added a NAS (Network Attached Storage) disk, this product would also appear in the Shared section.

  A wireless printer can also appear under shared.

• Can I use a time capsule airport as my external hard drive?

  I have all the products in my house, 5 iPhones apple, 2 MacBooks, an iPad and an apple tv Setup.

  1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

  2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router? If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better? If anyone could break it down into secular terms and highlight some of the advantages and disadvantages , I'd greatly appreciate it.

  
  

  (If your wondering I use my Macbook to store a LOT of music, photos, and surf the internet).

  Purchase of a disk external drive for my Macbook Pro is on the top of my to do list, I currently don't have 15 GB of free storage. I know that's not enough space for the computer to function properly. I definitely don't want what I just bought in March. Im trying to learn more about this kind of thing would have made very different when buying my Macbook if I could go back to March.I would be easily paid for the 256 GB of flash storage and would have probably just waited to buy it at all, until the so-called new macbook arrives soon.

  Once again thank you to all those who can help you!

  1 first question is the will of the time capsule (I'm looking at the version of 3 TB) Act as my external hard drive?

  Although the Capsule is primarily designed to be used in conjunction with Time Machine for backups, it can be used as a network drive for file storage.

  2.second the capsule is essentially like a wireless router?

  He does. In simple terms, you can think of the time Capsule as a wireless router with an Ethernet switch and HDD.

  If so,is the wifi for your apple products much better?

  Not really. Your Apple products are designed to work with routers wireless of any manufacturer, not only those provided by Apple. However, Apple routers are simple to implement and the application to administer is available on both the Mac and iOS devices. There is a version that works on Windows PCs, but is currently outdated and does not support to administer the current base station 802.11ac airport.
