Does Time Capsule able to work with a Wireless USB Modem (3G-HSUPA/HSDPA...

Not everyone can enjoy an efficient Landline provider. Apple advertizes that the future is wireless but still, I can not find any Mac product which take the more and more growing wireless mobile web connection... still stick to Wi-Fi and bluetooth. It would be great if Time Capsule could have a USB port dedicated to USB wireless modem (3G -HSUPA, HSDPA...) for web connections instead of only DSL. Any idea if possible?

There are products which do work as 3G routers to which you could plug in the Time Capsule via ethernet.

  • Time Capsule doesn't work with proxy?

    Hello! I have a Time Capsule working with an ethernet connection which is controled by a proxy server. I don't see the option to configure TC in order to download the .pac file, or to configure manually the proxy settings.
    Therefore, the internet through TC doesn't work!
    Anyone knows a solution?
    Thanks

    The blurb about Time Capsule not being compatible with some ISPs is no different from the same blurb that Apple has attached to the specs of all previous Airport base station products. So... if your ISP currently works with an older model Base Station, it will work with Time Capsule. ISPs that typically don't work are ones that use uncommon DSL communications or authentication protocols - often found in parts of Europe and the Middle East.
    (Speculation on my part) Time Capsule will not function as a wireless client on an existing wireless network. Therefore, users of an existing wireless network will need to either (a) replace their existing wireless router with Time Capsule or (b) cable Time Capsule to their existing wireless router and disable the router built into Time Capsule. These are exactly the same options faced by previous purchasers of Apple's Airport base stations.

  • My time capsule will only work with one device at a time

    I just purchased the Airport time capsule.  I have it set up with my imac, but I also run a macbook air, older macbook, PC laptop, PC desktop, wii, xbox, and 3 iphones off of this device.  My issue is that my ISP does not serve more than 1 IP address and with previous routers, the IP address they recognized was only on my router.  Now, each time a new device tries to use the internet, my ISP is bypassing time capsule and recognizing the device IP address.  It's very frustratitng!  How do I set up my Time Capsule so that it's IP address is the only one my ISP recognizes, but all my devices are able to run off of the Time Capsule as the router.  (obviously I am not over educated in this area so solutions in simple language are greatly appreciated!) Thanks!

    I read the same solution somewhere else in the forum but it does not solve my problem.  When I set up the Airport, it sets up in bridge mode by default. When I contacted my ISP they said it needed to be in bridge mode (their rationale is that they only allow 1 IP address).  I just switched it to DHCP and NAT and this is what the default settings go to:
    After I update it with these settings my internet won't work at all and this is the error message I get:
    Any suggestions?
    My internet "Digis". www.digis.net.  They are a smaller company and put a dish on my roof.  The modem is very small, does not have a router.

  • Network printing with time capsule doesn't work with OS X Lion

    I have a canon printer which will print when it is set up and connected to my imac.  However when it is set up and connected to time capsule it will not print.  It thinks it has completed the job but it hasn't.
    I think that this may have something to do with OS X Lion.
    The printer is just new, I bought it as the old one was playing up - I had been unable to get the old one which was connected via the time capsule to print since installing OS X Lion but never put two and two together - I just assumed the the printer had eventually died!  So I bought a new one!  It seems to set up OK as it is recognised as being attached to the timecapsule but there is no out put.
    Does anyone have any ideas as how to sort this out?
    Ian

    Solved (apparently): After reinstalling, iTunes 10.5 beta 3 appears to work.

  • Time capsule don't work with Canon PIXMA ip4850?

    I have a Time capsule (third generation) and a new Canon PIXMA ip4850.
    When I connect the priner directly to my MBP I can print without problems.
    But when I connect the printer with the TC USB port, then the TC can't find the printer.
    Can somebody help me? Is this printer not compatible with the TC?
    Because with my old Brother printer I've had no problmes to print with the TC...the TC found the printer once I connected him with TC USB port
    Rgds

    Unfortunately, this would indicate that the Time Capsule does not support this Canon model.
    You might try the Canon support site to see if they have any newer drivers available for download that might do the job. Apple also has updates from time to time, so a future update might incorporate this model.
    Since Canon supplies the drivers to Apple, you might also want to ask Canon if they plan to provide the drivers for this model for the Time Capsule.

  • Time Capsule and iTunes working with external HDD

    Hello all.
    I have a situation I would to share with you and see if there is a solution.
    I have a PC and a Macbook Air. I had a Time Capsule which had my iTunes library but the drive failed and I lost everything. However when it was running things weren't going great. Because the Time Capsule was a bit clever, it only spun the HDD when TIme Machine was backing my MBA.
    This meant that I had trouble accessing my iTunes library because it wasn't always available. So I would have to locate the library on most occasions and on even more occasions iTunes lost the links with my media files and had to go through the time consuming 'Find files' process.
    I was wondering if an answer to my problem would be to store all my music and other media on an external HDD (like the GoFlex). The I could plug it into my PC, then my MBA and if I wanted to make it avable to both I could plug it into Time Capsule and it would 'broadcast' it to both.
    I was wondering if anyone had tried this and how it worked, Would iTunes see the HDD plugged directly into the MBA as the same as the HDD being plugged into the Time Capsule?
    I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

  • Time capsule wifi stops working with MacBooks, but nothing else

    I have a newer model time capsule.  Lately, the wifi stops working intermittently on my macbook pro and the wife's macbook air.  While this is happening, our iphones and other peripherals have functional wifi.  This resolves if I reboot the time capsule.  Even more weird is that the 'guest network' on the time capsule will work fine while the main wifi network remains non-functional.
    Fairly annoyed, please help

    It isn't strange at all.. it is a feature of Lion.. totally unstable useless networking.. particularly wireless.
    I would be very surprised if you came back and told me you were on Snow still.
    If Lion was installed by upgrade, worse and worse.. clean install seems to reduce if not remove the issues.
    So ring Apple .. keep annoyed at their new vista class OS. Did you turn that off and on again??
    I can suggest a few things..
    Short wireless and network names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Different name for 5ghz to stop band swapping.
    Lock wireless to on a/n -b/g
    Lock wireless channels.
    Use wpa2 personal security only.. with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric.
    Set dhcp to very short lease time.. 30min.. might help Lion to remember the name of the TC.. otherwise it suffers from early onset dementia and alzheimer's.

  • New time capsule doesn't work with ethernet

    I'm using a new time capsule,for the first backup I'm trying to use ethernet but loose the data disc when wifi is turned off. The ethernet light is green on the time capsule and the computer ethernet is also giving a green; but no action without wifi; any ideas?

    Please open the network preferences and check that the ethernet has the correct IP from the TC and can get internet as well. Turn on ipv6 as this seems to be an issue in the new version.. it doesn't matter if it is only Mac to TC.. it seems to help.
    If you keep having issues.. reset the TC and make sure it has all naming following SMB type conventions..
    ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    In the finder.. use go, connect to server.. and type in
    SMB://TCname
    Where you replace the TCname with the actual TC name you just gave it.
    Do a reset of TM and try again for location of the backup with the disk which should now be discovered.
    Tell us the point where you have issues if it fails.

  • Time Capsule in Standalone Mode with Existing Wireless Network

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help. I'm not quite sure where to post this question, so I hope I am in the right place. Ive found various posts on this matter but just would like some assistance with my personal set up.
    I have a new retina MacBook Pro arriving soon which will be running Mountain Lion. I've also just purchased a current model Time Capsule for the purpose of wireless backups via Time Machine and would like some advice on how to integrate it into my system. 
    I already have a wireless Internet connection set up and running well (through a D-link DSL-2740R router) so I don't want to mess around with that (for various reasons it took a long while to set up). I'm therefore looking at running the Time Capsule in a standalone way but I am guessing in doing so it will create a second wifi network (although it will not be connected to the Internet). I appreciate I cannot connect to two wireless networks at once but whilst in the local Apple store recently, one of the assistants mentioned that this would not be a problem for Mountain Lion with regard to Time Machine backups and that I would not have to use bridge mode or anything on the Time Capsule. However I unfortunately had to leave the store before I could find out how to go about setting this up. 
    I would therefore be grateful if anyone could help with how to set the Time Capsule up in Mountain Lion as mentioned above so that I can get it up and running when my Macbook Pro turns up.
    Also, once set up, I would like to use the USB port on the Time Capsule to attach a powered hub to connect multiple USB hard drives. Could someone please confirm that this will work in whatever manner I have to set the Time Capsule up and also whether Time Machine can back these drives up to the Time Capsule as well.
    I would say that networks etc. are not my strong point so would be grateful for answers aimed at novice (or lower!) level of technical experience.
    Many thanks for your help.

    This is really the same option as bridging the TC..
    You cannot use the TC as a router in the UK.. well mostly not, because all your ISP use PPPoA authentication.. there are some who have recognised the error of following BT blindly and now also use PPPoE. But you cannot authenticate the TC to the modem using pppoa protocol. So there is no way the TC can be in any mode but bridge..
    Don't worry if the above didn't make a lot of sense.
    When you bridge the TC.. it will act as a switch and WAP, plus hard disk to network.
    The wireless can indeed be left on.. even on both devices.. that isn't actually a problem.. although I prefer to set one or both routers to a fix wireless channel.
    You can also turn off the dlink wireless but I think you will find the dlink wireless rather better than the TC.
    For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels, 1, 6, 11 ( although you can also use 13 in UK).
    The TC is only N lite on 2.4ghz ie max speed is 150mbps.. It will only need one channel.
    The Dlink is full N ie 300 or 270mbps and to do this requires 2 channels.. that means you need to be very specifc.. and might be better infact setting the dlink to also only use 1 channel.. ie 20mhz only not 40mhz.
    Again if you are not following don't worry.. I will be specific.
    Set the dlink wireless to channel 1.. and set it to 20mhz only. The dlink should still have better range than the TC..
    Place the TC in a place as far away as you can get.. next room or wireless dead spot would be excellent.. use ethernet or EOP adapters.
    Bridge the TC.
    Set the TC to channel 11 or 13 as you prefer..
    Give it the same wireless name.. (SSID to everyone else) as the Dlink.
    Same security setting WPA2 AES on the dlink WPA2 Personal on the TC.
    Same passkey.
    You now have a roaming system.
    ie the laptop should connect to the strongest signal.. just like a mobile phone does as you travel.
    The 5ghz will also be available to your computer if the signal is good enough.. range is very poor though.
    I do recommend you run 5.6 utility.. this is tricky as it won't install on mountain Lion.
    You need to download the utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Download and install unpkg
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16357/unpkg
    Open the 5.6 dmg.. and drag the pkg over a running unpkg.. it will then load the files into a new directory on the desktop.. just drag the airportutility5.6 to your utilites directory.
    v6.1 utility in Lion and Mountain Lion is a toy version.

  • Does the Ipod Touch 4G work with any Wireless G Router?

    Hi IIIaass. If you have problem with older routers, Apple recommends you update the router firmware.

  • Time Capsule is not work with anything.

    Did work at first, but when I try to hook it up to mac mini no deals.

    Information is hugely valuable commodity.. and since the crystal ball fused we have no idea what you are talking about.
    Give us the facts.

    Does it still work on everything else except the mini?
    Are you trying to link by ethernet or wireless? Have you tried the other one.. ie if you tried wireless then try ethernet or visa versa.
    Have you reset the TC and redone the setup?
    Is the TC setup in bridge or as router?
    Did you check the TC log which should give you info on what is happening?

  • I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

    I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

    Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
    You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
    Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
    Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.
    http://pondini.org/TM/17.html
    But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

  • Does time capsule works with Lion?

    I am new to Mac after I had an HP damaged, and decided to move on to Mac.  As I do not want to repeat the experience of losing all the information for not backing it up, I was told that I could make backups with time Machine and Time Capsule.  I would like to check if it is possible, and if Time Capsule will work with Lion.  I have a 2011 MacBook Pro.  Thanks for your comments.

    Yes, although you don't necessarily need a Time Capsule.
    That's a combination wireless router and hard drive, and was designed specifically to receive wireless Time Machine backups, and is quite handy for that.
    But you can also back up to an external HD -- much faster and more reliable (not to mention less expensive), but less convenient for laptop users, having to connect it when you want to do backups.
    You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Does time capsule back-up files which I am currently working on in a program?

    Hey everybody,
    If I am working on a file in a program, does time capsule back this file up? So if the program(third party) crashes after half an hour for example, can I still get the file back or would it be incomplete because it was open during back-up?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jelle

    Most apps don't work with the actual file on disk; they copy it into memory and make the changes there.
    Like most backup apps, Time Machine doesn't (can't) back up anything in memory, only things on disk.
    When you Save a file you're working on, or done with, it goes to disk and will be included on the next backup.
    Similarly, if the app has an "autosave" facitity, that will copy the "working" version to disk.  Many apps do that to a separate file (often named the same as the original, but with something like "autosaved" appended).  Lion apps that support Lion's AutoSave facility save it to the original file.

  • HT3728 Why does time capsule every day or so stop backing up? Wifi still seems to work. Time capsule is only a few weeks old and is connected via Ethernet to the router and iMac.

    Why does time capsule go missing from the network. The green light is lit at all times. I am unable to use the software the only thing I can do is power cycle time capsule, by unplugging and plugging the mains back in.
    My time capsule is only a few weeks old, any ideas?
    I am new to apple products very impressed with iPhone 5, I pad, iMac. Really not sure about time capsule!
    Thanks

    An external drive is much more reliable.. the issue has to do with network connection and loss of something.. although I am sorry I cannot tell you exactly what. The computer is still connected, still works on internet but has actually lost the hard disk.. lost and cannot find it without a restart.
    If you want to try a few changes it can help.
    1. If you are connected by ethernet make sure wireless is off in the imac.. having only one network connection is better than two.
    2. Redo the TC setup with all short names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Apple has these long names with spaces and characters like apostrophe by default but they are not a help.
    3. If the TC is the main router then reduce the dhcp lease time.. make it 20min.. that keeps everything refreshed and up to date.
    None of those fix it but they may help stretch out the interval.
