Can I use time capsule with a USB cellular modem?

No, since the USB port on the Time Capsule will only support a compatible printer and/or hard drive.

    TC is not designed for ipad or iphone or any iOS device.
    You should use them with cloud if you want remote access to your data do it via cloud.. you cannot easily get remote access to the TC from iOS device.

  • Can I use time capsule with a ASUS (RT-N16)router?

    I will use a router with vpn. Can I use time capsule with it? And if yes, how do I connect them?

    There is no vpn built into the native firmware of N16 so I presume you are going to use third party.
    Just plug in the TC and bridge it.. ie go to Internet tab of airport utility and select connection sharing off.
    wireless then you will need to figure out.. you can setup roaming on 2.4ghz by using identical wireless name = ssid and security but lock both to different channels.. pick out of 1, 6, 11
    In a PC network make sure you use the TC with a new name.. no spaces no special characters.. same with wireless. TC also restrict wireless on 2.4ghz to only 20mhz.. if you have the N16 set to 40mhz you will have to be extra careful with channels.. 40mhz will use up two channels and only one remains.. so your household will have filled the 2.4ghz.
    Someone suggested you can turn off 2.4ghz in the TC by not naming it.. When I try that it kicks up an error that it has to be named. So perhaps someone else has a suggestion of how to turn off 2.4ghz.
    You can turn off 5ghz by unchecking it. Seems mighty strange that you cannot turn off 2.4ghz but you can turn off 5ghz.

  • Can you use Time Capsule with any wifi extender?

    Can you use Time capsule with any wifi extenders?

    No, since Apple designed their routers to only work with other Apple routers.
    I suppose that it is possible that another brand might work, but since you won't know this until you try, it would be a good idea to have a clear understanding of the store's return policy before you decide to gamble.

  • Can I use Time Capsule with an iPad?

    I have music and pictures saved on my iPad, don't use a regular computer.  Can I use Time Capsule to back up those pics and tunes?

    ...(I) don't use a regular computer...
    Simple answer: no.  iPad backups are handled through iTunes on a Mac or PC.  The iPad doesn't have any inherent backup capabilities.
    In the future, when Apple release iOS5, iCloud and iTunes Match, you may have some capability to backup your songs and pics.  But until that happens, you will need to figure out how to backup those things on your own.  (And even after iClouse and iTunes Match are available, you may still need to find backup procedures for things those services can't backup.

  • Can I use Time Capsule with XP SP1

    I have my time capsule attached to my PC through ethernet. The PC has on SP1 I did not realize I needed SP2 in order to use the disk sent with the Time Capsule. Anyway, using bonjour that I downloaded off internet I am able to print to the the printer attached to the time capsule and I can also connect to the internet fine. The only problem is seeing the TC drive on my PC? Do I really need to download SP2 in order to get this up and running? Any other options?

    Have you enabled File Sharing on the TC? You also need to set the Workgroup name to be the same as your Windows workgroup (XP default is Mshome). Both options are set using Airport Utility > Manual setup > Disks.
    TC should now be visible in Explorer/my network places/windows network/workgroup.

  • I can't use Time Machine with a USB drive plugged into an Airport Extreme.

    I connected an external drive to the USB port of an Airport Extreme, intending to use it with Time Machine and one of the laptops in the Wi-Fi network (call it Laptop). The drive is visible from the Disks tab of each computer’s Airport Utility but from nowhere else, in particular not to Laptop’s Time Machine preference.
    Laptop is relatively new and arrived with Mavericks. Time Machine used to work on Laptop before I upgraded the rest of the network (a desktop Mac Pro and another laptop) from OS X 10.6 to Mavericks.
    The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried other external hard drives, with the same behavior. The desktop correctly use Time Machine to back up its internal drive to another internal drive. Another possibly relevant factor is that our DSL connection has recently been upgraded, and now uses a 2Wire modem that provides its own router, so Airport Utility’s Network Router Mode is set to “Off (Bridge Mode)”.
    I would be grateful for suggestions of what to try next.

    Here is one from Pondini, who was the foremost Time Machine expert in the world.

  • Can't Use Time Capsule With Lion

    Hi,
    So I have one of the original Time Capsules, running firmware 7.3.2
    I have never been able to successfully update the firmware.  No matter what version I try to update to
    I always get the same problem:  "An Error Occured While Updating the Firmware"
    This hasn't bothered me too much in the past because it has worked fine for both Time Machine and as my wireless router.
    I upgraded to Lion yesterday, and the first thing I tried was to check my backups and create a new backup. 
    When I try back up with TIme Machine, I get "Time Machine can't back up because the firmware must be updated"
    When I try to open Time Machine to view old backups, I get "The Operation Can't be Completed" (Finder Fault)
    Help!!!

    You've got to figure out a way to upgrade the firmware, or access your data from Snow Leopard.
    I don't know if the AppleStore can help; if not, try AppleCare.

  • Can we use Time Capsule with Windows?

    We set up a new Time Capsule today and both our Macs have Internet access through it, but not our Windows laptop. What do we need to do? 

    Make sure you have the airport utility for windows installed.. it is not much use with the latest AC model airports but does load bonjour for windows.
    In the Mac, redo the setup of the TC.
    Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. ie TCgen5 good base station name.
    TC24ghz and TC5ghz for wireless.. I strongly recommend you use different names for the two bands.. at least to troubleshoot.
    Use no security for a test. If windows cannot connect to 2.4ghz change the channels and try 11, 6, 1 in that order.
    Once you have it working add security.. WPA2 Personal with a 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.

  • I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

    I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

    I don't think backup is supported but you may be able to access the TC's internal drive, from the iPhone, with an application like: NetPortal
    Note: I haven't actually tried this app, so if someone else has and was successful in accessing the TC's drive they can certainly chime in.
    Follow-up. Just downloaded and installed this app ... and I can now verify that it, indeed, can access both my TC's internal and externally attached USB HDD.

  • Can I use time capsule as an NAS devise with sonos, to play music library when iMac is off?

    can I use time capsule as an NAS devise with sonos, to play music library when iMac is off?

    Apparently Sonos system can play from the library without needing iTunes running.
    In that case yes, the library can be played directly from TC.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18562619#18562619
    Sonos needs fully compliant SMB file system.. this is important.. and not what the Apple system is using to access the TC.
    Moving the library has to be done correctly.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    There are plenty of discussions in forums and technical sites.. this seems well worth a read.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/12/how-to-offload-your-itunes-library-to-a-nas /
    TC is very non-ideal itunes library location.. unlike a real NAS.
    Just so you are aware. If you have TM backups on it.. mixing backups and data is not a good idea.
    At least consider moving backups to USB drive. You will need the speed of the TC internal drive for using the library though.
    TC has no way to back itself up.
    TC is slow to start.. you will get errors as the library is not found.
    And quick to spin down drives.. it is not designed to stream media.. it is a backup target for TM.

  • Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

    Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

    Sure, if the printers connect using the Ethernet port, you have 3 ports on the Time Capsule.
    If the printers connect using wireless only, the Time Capsule will support up to 50 connections.
    If your printers connect using USB, then you will need a powered USB hub. Something like this, for example:
    Dynex 4Port USB 2.0 Hub DX-THUB16 - Best Buy

  • Can i use time capsule for back up my movies and watching them with my bravia tv

    can i use time capsule for back up my movies and watching them with my bravia tv.
    i mean can i use this for external hard disk drive to back up my movies and watching them with tv that has a lan port or wi-fi technology.

    Only if the TV is a media player.. the TC is dumb as a board router with a hard disk.. there is no DLNA which I suspect the TV requires.. you can get a player like the WDLive and it will play movie files from the TC to the TV.. remember the TC is nothing but a file store.. no servers .. no nothing.
