2nd hand time capsule with applecare?

recently i bought i new imac with applecare. I also bought a 2nd hand timecapsule. It says there is an internal disk error that i can not fix. Would the tc be covered by my applecare?

Your best bet is to not volunteer the information that you bought the TC used when you talk to Apple.
However, if Apple deems that the TC is over 3 years old, it will not be covered.

  • 2nd gen time capsule and airport express g

    Ive looked high and low but none of the discussions have worked for me. this is what I have. a 2nd gen time capsule running my network of timewarner modem. I just got airport express g older model and I want to use it as a ethernet bridge for my Denon Avr which is not wireless. I need help with making this aiport express a ethernet bridge so I can stream music over my Denon. Please help !!!!!!! I dont need the airport to extend my wireless network just to get my Denon online. Can anyone help!

    Unfortunately, you need the AirPort Express "n" model to be able to do what you want to do.
    It has a special feature called ProxySTA which allows the Express to "join" a wireless network and enable a signal at the Ethernet port.
    The older Express "g" does not have this type of capability.

  • 2nd gen Time Capsule max capacity

    Hi,
    I 've previously upgraded my 2nd generation Time Capsule (A1302) with a 2TB hard drive. I'd like to make a second upgrade with a bigger hard drive but I don't know if this model is able to accept a 3TB or bigger hard drive.
    I'm also wondering if ti's worth it to get a WD Caviar Black or WD NAS Red or with a WD Caviar Green is enough?
    Thanks in advance.

    Apple may well use a firmware setup that is different to the norm.. Apple drives always have apple logo on them.
    Spin down even with Apple drive may not work on gen2.. I tested it and found issues..
    ie I removed a 3TB drive from a Gen4 and installed it in a Gen2. The drive had spin down issues.
    I installed an off the shelf 3TB drive in the Gen4 and it had no issues spinning down.
    Spin down issues vary with brand of drive and other more esoteric issues.

    We used to find hitachi drives spin down ok.. WD did not.
    But firmware on drives is constantly being updated. Take your best shot when you want to be a modder of products.. expect life to get hard.
    It should work with 4TB drive.. they have even higher current demands.. the Gen2 power supply will not work.. or work for long.

  • I have a Time Capsule with the internal disk drive. I have copied my photos and music to the internal drive. Is it possible to access the photos etc. using my Apple Tv to see it on my TV, iPads etc? on my home WIFI.

    I have loaded my Time Capsule with my photos, videos, music etc. I want to access these using my Apple TV on my home WIFI for display on my tv's, and Ipads, Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I can do it by access to my Macbook but that's not always convenient.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • Can I link up one time capsule with two airport express, Can I link up one time capsule with two airport express

    Hi, I would like to know whether I can link up one time capsule with two airport express. The result why is that I would like to put one time capsule at first floor, two airport express at 2nd floor and 3rd floor. All these three share one network. Please advise. Thanks.

    There are several ways to conenct them. We need to know what it is you want to accomplish first. Do you want better Wi-Fi coverage on the second and third floors or do you want to stream music to the xpresses?

  • Time Capsule with (2) AirPort Express connection problem

    I have (1) Airport Time Capsule with (1) AirPort Express connected. I'm trying to connect another Airport Express but only get a yellow light on the 2nd Express. If I connect it with a ethernet cable I get a green light. How do I connect a 2nd Express?

    The 2nd Express needs to be about the same distance from the Time Capsule as the 1st Express....and....it cannot be closer to the 2nd Express than it is to the Time Capsule.
    The reason for this is that the Express will pick up the strongest signal and you want the Express to pick up the Time Capsule signal to be able to extend it.
    Then, start over as LaPastenague instructs on the 2nd Express and configure it again.

  • Time capsule with modem in different room

    Hi everyone
    I am interested in getting a Time Capsule for backing up my files seeing as i do my work on my macbook pro.
    I am also interested in it for watching my movies off of the time capsule with apple tv.
    So here is what i am wondering. I use fibre op, and have a cords coming in my room. The modem on the other hand is out in another end of the house. Can i simply hook my time capsule up through the fibre op ethernet in my room and have my time capsule working off it for back-ups and working with my apple tv from in the room, or do i need to physically have the time capsule plugged in to the modem itself? if so that kind of ***** having to have my stuff all hooked up in the living room when i use it all in my room, i would much prefer have everything working properly in the room i work in. Moving the modem in to this room would not be an option as i would have to have the provider come in and re-do everthing to get it in here.
    So can i hook the time casule up to the ethernet port in my room and it all work fine and dandy? or do i need to have it hooked up to the modem out in the living room?
    thanks!

    If you can plug your computer into the ethernet port in your room and be connected to your modem then you should be able to do the same thing with the Time Capsule - which means you wouldn't need the modem and Time Capsule in the same room.

  • Time Capsule with AE or solo?

    We just moved into our new home and had Uverse set up for internet and home theater 5.1 setup through yamaha RX-A1020 receiver. We have a 2011 Mac Book Pro and new Air both have all current updates and operating system interfaces.The Uvese router and modem is hardwired via ethenet in our home office so the home theater in the living room currently doesnt have wifi capabilities because of this reason so I am thinking of adding an Airport extreme or Airport Express.  The yamaha reciever has the airplay feature along with Pandora and Rhapsody.  After living in the home for 4 weeks I am just fed up with the performance and user functions Uverse offers.  Constant sound drops, constant scene blur etc.  So we have Fios being installed on the 13th of this month.  I have read so many forum discussions that Its become system overload.  I currently have the 2nd gen Time Capsule and 3rd gen Apple TV yet to hook up.  What is the best way to hook this all up and get the best performance?  Do I need to purchase an airport extreme to get the best out of it? Whats the best configuration for the time capsule and apple tv with the ISP provider.  Will dvr and video on demand capabilities still be able to be used?  Thank you for any help!  

    I'm using a 1 TB Time Capsule to run my wireless network and for storage as well.
    Honestly, it *****. I came on here to post about if anyone could help me and saw your post. For storage it's incredibly slow, especially with iPhoto, it's completely ridiculous. Other things aren't that bad, like documents and such things. I think it runs my wireless network pretty good, but iPhoto and iTunes not so much.
    If there's anyone that has some ideas as to why it would run so slow or what the problem is that would be some greatly appreciated help. I thought TC was supposed to be this "all in one" deal...

  • How can I use my time capsule with Ethernet cable? How is it also possible to use time capsule as a normal external hard drive?

    My problem is that I don't know how to use my Time Capsule with Ethernet Cable, as when I use wireless it is really slow.

    Make sure that there is an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/wireless router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule
    Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the page
    Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off (I assume that you do not want the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network since you already have a wireless network)
    Next, click the Internet icon at the top of the screen, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click the Update button at the bottom and wait 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart and display a green light
    Then, you must power off your entire network...all devices....in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Start your modem/router first and let it run a minute
    Start the Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered up
    If you are using Time Machine for backups, you will need to reset the connection because you have changed the way in which the Time Capsule connects to your network
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backup or, it might be Use Disk
    Now you can connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to back up using Ethernet. Be sure to turn off the wireless on your Mac before you start the backup.
    If you want to backup using wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule and turn on the wireless and connect to your wireless network. Your computer will now backup using wireless.

  • How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
    You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.

    Look at the more like this. On the right column next to the post.
    Load airport utility for windows.. which will also load bonjour for windows.
    In windows explorer type \\TCname or \\TCipaddress (replacing with the actual values.. names with spaces will give you trouble so change all names in the TC to SMB compatible or actual ip address).

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

    2. Download and install unpkg.

    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • HOW TO SET UP time capsule with time machine?

    I have not been successful in setting up time capsule with the time machine,can someone give me steps to follow?

    What part are you having problems with?  You need to make sure File Sharing is enabled on the Time Capsule (which is done in AirPort Utility).  Then you just connect to the Time Capsule either wirelessly or via ethernet cable and when you go to Time Machine setup your computer should recognize your Time Capsule as a valid storage for Time Machine backups.
