• 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.

• Airport Extreme and Time Capsule of airport work together?

  I have time capsule and airport extreme. I need to decide if I should sell Airport extreme or is there a way for the two to work together to expand the wifi. Airport extreme can be connected to time capsule and extend the range?

  AirPort Extreme can extend the time Capsule network in one of two ways:

  (1) for the best performance, the AirPort Extreme is located in the heart of the area where most of the wireless coverage is needed, and it would connect to the time Capsule using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

  (2) AirPort Extreme can connect to the Time Capsule wireless network and to extend the network in this way, if you're ready locate AirPort Extreme to halfway between the Capsule and the area that needs more coverage wireless... And... accept a drop in performance of half of the potential maximum speed on the network.

• connection to the internet using time capsule

  I have problems connecting to the internet using time capsule. It detects my wireless network but will not connect to internet. I run ipconfig/all and it comes up with media disconnected. If I put any security on my wireless network, it finds the network and go on the internet with no problems.

  Thanks for the help in advance

  Hello Pudgex76,

  I suggest looking on the forums of Apple for more information if necessary:

• How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  Hello

  How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  I don't know what you're asking.

  AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

  A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

  An iMac is a Mac computer.

  An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

• 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.

• ICan I use Time Capsule in my Airport extreme to save files Ihave on my windows7 computer?

  How can I configure my Airport extreme, time capsule 3 to use the portion of the time capsule for the backup of my Sony VAIO computer?

  You can back up a windows computer to Time Capsule but I do not recommend.

  Any backup software that can use target network should work.

  Macrium Reflect is the one I use, I know the Time Capsule works.

  Time line of engineering is a concept similar to Time Machine for PC... It's more that I want to make, but it doesn't seem to be a free version... How good or bad or I do not know what limits.

  Internal backup software MS is generally useless... at least up to win 8.1 10.

  NOTE... A USB connected to the laptop computer and formatted NTFS native is far superior to backup to TC which is formatted HFS + (illegible for windows) which is networked that the SMB protocol and treaded as NT server with all its limitations with FAT32.

  Like many things you answer the question you... Yes. If you have... N °

• Time Capsule or airport repeatedly loss of internet connection

  Greetings,

  Last month, I had a problem with my Apple Time Capsule and my cable company router intermittently lose Internet several times a day between.  This has happened several times a day.  My Time Capsule, Airport utility would show a 'green' status, but the status of 'Internet' is yellow.  It would resolve itself after several minutes, or if I rebooted the time Capsule.

  I did some troubleshooting and here's what I've been able to determine:

  • My internet business is the spectre of the Charter, and I use a Modem Arris.  The lights on the modem showed upstream internet connection was good, and technical support of the Charter stated that it was not a problem between the servers and the modem.  So, this seems to be a problem with the connection between the modem and the time Capsule.
  • Digging in the settings of the time Capsule, I noted that at one point defaults under the utility Airport-> Internet-> Internet Options-> "Configure IPv6" on the Time Capsule has changed its 'Link-Local only' to 'automatically '.  I am not sure when this change happened, but maybe with Time Capsule 7.7.3, firmware which I installed it right around the time the problems started.
  • I changed the IPv6 of Time Capsule settings go back to the "link-Local only" and since then have not lost to the Internet once

  So it seems to be an incompatibility between the IPv6 to my ISP configuration and configure IPv6 'automatically' on the Apple Time Capsule.  At this point the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are still supported in the internet, but once IPv4 disappears at some point in the future I'll have to change the settings.  I hope that by then an update of the firmware from Apple or the modem from my ISP will fix this incompatibility.

  Hope this is useful to someone else!

  There is a document with settings for routers airport Apple on IPv6 with Comcast... I know that it works with TWC and it will probably also work with the Charter.

  http://mydeviceinfo.Xfinity.com/download.php?file_id=35

  There will be problems with dentition with IPv6 for awhile... Cox is the principal who is problematic at the moment and there are a number of positions that have also recommended parameters.

  IPv6 can also work if you use IPv4 dns servers of google... So the same instructions as the above document, but just simply replace the ISP DNS with values of google.

  Your Arris modem can also be a problem... We have noted problems with the model AC AE and TC WAN port with a number of modems... It's completely outside the issue of IPv6.

• How to use Time Capsule with Time Machine and no Wifi

  Situation.  Late 2009 iMac with OSX 10.7.5.  Used Airport Extreme since purchase in early 2010.  Use a modem cable from Arris SB 6141.  Decided to upgrade to 2 TB Time Capsule.  And the problems started.  I put TC in place... Finally, with the help of the people of this forum (thanks).  Transport CANADA does not have the internet connection to the Modem.  New to this forum I discovered that the TC does not like the SB6141.  So I put the Airport Extreme in the network and work like a charm wireless.

  Now, how can I connect the TC to the network or the Mac to use the part Time Machine?

  I tried to put the TC in Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable.  First, the iMac would not recognize the local network by removing printers and the other external USB drive; and my TV got confused on what wifi network with the same name in which to connect.

  Before I hit the reset button on the time Capsule I tried to ask what would be the right steps.

  Thanks to the folks on this forum. Thanks for your help.  Hope you all a good holiday this year.

  You should not have really big questions on Lion.

  Connect the WAN of TC port on the ethernet port LAN AE.

  Configure the TC in bridge. I disable the wireless to EI and let it run in the TC... that's much better work in this configuration.

  The Mac that will backup must really be connected to the TC in direct wireless or ethernet... This will help loads.

  The wireless work better on the TC... If it isn't, then you can swap EI... but I'd be surprised if that was the case.

• Impossible to use Time Machine on Airport Extreme

  Back in June, I brought a laptop HD work to save the laptop. It's something I have done 3 times a year, in addition to using Time Machine on my 1 TB Airport Extreme. Well, when I did that, I went from 'H Time Capsule' to 'Brian's Portable HD. Everything saved. No problem. It seemed.

  Unfortunately, I can no longer use Time Machine on the 1 TB drive. Every time as I try, I get "password to the server": Time Capsule". And the password I try does not work. Arrrggh.

  Is it possible to find the password lost at an Airport Extreme?

  Can or, if it's a no-go, I reset everything on it and start over?

  Thank you.

  Brian

  It would really help if you could provide the version of the operating system that you use on your laptop.

  The reason is that if you can access the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, you can retrieve the "lost password" for the album Time Capsule, which could be the password wireless, could be the base station password, or it might be the disk password... it depends of how you implement the AirPort Extreme.

• Time Capsule and Airport Express keeps disconnecting

  I have a problem setting up the network at home. I have a Time Capsule that is connected to a router Huawei, the Capsule is set to 'Create a wireless network' and router mode "Off (bridge mode).

  It was great to all workers and I get 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz networks.

  Today, I bought an Airport Express so I can extend the wifi signal in the new section of the House, I tried to connect it to the time Capsule because 'Extend a wireless network' for a while, it would connect and everything seems fine and then begins the two TC & AE drop and reconnect again and let down once again , the led starts between green and amber shifts from time to time and keep doing that... The WiFi keeps fall signals and reconnect!

  I'm not sure what the problem... ! tried to set up two or three times but nothing seems to work. But once I turn off the AE, the TC begins works very well!

  Here is how my network configuration must be:

  Wall -> RJ11 >- Huawei -> Ethernet >- TC ... > WiFi >... AE 

  Note: when I connect the AE to transport CANADA the 1st time, this pattern was shown in Airport utility:

  Internet > TC > AE

  but it would be still lower, after the reset of the AE several times and tried to configure several times, now what I see is that both are connected to the Internet icon somehow!

  Any help!

  Begin by looking at the location of the AirPort Express to the TC Terminal. It is in the same room, another room or different floor? Another room or floor, if that it the basic construction building materials used in the walls or the ceiling in your home?

  What exact models are each of your base stations?

• use time capsule 4th generation to extend the network

  Can I use the time Capsule (4th generation) to extend a network? I would like to connect via Ethernet to a router (Belkin) of non-Apple. Thank you.

  -> Belkin router-> Ethernet cable modem-> Time Capsule-> wifi network products in another part of the House

  Yes, it works perfectly.

  The TC will be in bridge mode...

  

  The wireless will be defined to create a wireless network.

  You can use the distinct name to the Belkin Wireless... or you can use a name identical to the Belkin with identical password wireless and security setting... This is called roaming network, so in theory, you can wear around your wireless devices and they swap "tours" as a mobile phone... Sounds good in theory... a little less than the sum of the parts actually.

  

• Can I use Time Capsule as a router to connect wirelessly with a pc

  I can all my products easily connect to the internet using Airport Time Capsule? I know I can save wireless my Apple products, but can I also backup my computers portable windows on the Time Capsule via a cable?

  Yes, but windows esp... 10 windows can be uncooperative.

  Also I do not know at all the recovery will be easy depending on what backup software you plan on using.

  Don't forget the world of Windows that the TC still looks like NT Server with FAT32 drives and all the inherent problem that there are.

• Extend the reach of the WiFi with airport Time Capsule and Airport Express

  I want to extend the range of my WiFi network running on a Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme airport. The Internet, ADSL, signal goes from the cable box in a closet and has two Ethernet cables connecting the box. I installed a simple Ethernet switch and ran inside, with both Internet cables Ethernet Miss and in two rooms in my apartment. I created the Capsule of time like the WiFi router, then the Express in the other room in Bridge Mode to extend the range of the WiFi network and enable AirPlay. This configuration works well for a while, but after a certain time has problems. The Express seems to go back to the creation of the WiFi network on its own and I saw the problem of the conflict addreses DCHP.

  What seemed to work correctly using the Express as the "pivot" and I fell straight Internet on it and an Ethernet cable to connect the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. It's far from ideal for me, however, because I like the Express to be in another room to extend the range of the WiFi network in this part of my apartment and be able to use it for AirPlay.

  Help, please.

  If you could let us know what operating system you use on your Mac or PC, we'll give you a configuration suggested for the AirPort Express, which will allow the Express and the Time Capsule to connect to the Ethernet switch and perform correctly.

  We assume that the switch and the wiring will function properly in your current configuration, as well as the time Capsule, is that correct?
