Hi can I use Time Capsule 4th generation as a back up at the same time between my iMac and HP PC

HI Just bought a 4th generation Time Capsule and after a bit of trouble, I was able to do the following...
1. Connect TC to my modem via ethernet cable
2. Set up my first time Machine from my iMac to Time Capsule
3. Set up my HP PC via ethernet cable to Time Capsule
4. Set up HP Printer Scanner to USB port in Time Capsule, can now print from my PC and iMac using the same printer.
Here is the question...
Can I use Time Capsule (2TB version, not that this should matter, I think) as an external back up for my HP PC, running Windows 7?
I asked this question at Apple Store and they said YES, now I have my doubts as I cannot see Time Capsule as an external drive when I check my PC and computer part there, can see my C drive, D drive (internal backup drive in my PC), E drive (DVD drive) and that is it.
Installed AirPort utility for Windows, have version 5.5 something. I can see TIme Capsule using this at my PC but can I somehow save my HardDrive to Time Capsule, even manually?
Or is the problem that as I started Time Capsule with Time Machine Backup first, it has formatted Time Capsule to support only Apple version, and this is why I cannot see Time Capsule as an external harddrive?
Any help would be appreciated!
I have already an external HD for my Windows PC, just thought this way I could potentially have all the data in one place and also able to use 1 printer...
Many Thanks

Remember Apple Names are not fully SMB compatible..
Reset the TC and do the setup with all SMB naming.. ie.. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
That means TC name eg TC
Wireless name (different for 5ghz) eg TC24ghz and TC5ghz
And hard disk share name.. eg Data
Make sure all passwords also match that convention.. but you can use more characters.. up to 20 or more if you are paranoid. Pure alphanumeric though.
In the file sharing area. set the right workgroup. And it makes life easier turning on the guest account to read and write.
Then in windows explorer simply type
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress .. obviously you change the names with the actual name or IP.

  • Can I use a separate internal drive as a back up within the same computer?

    Hello
    I am doing a lot of cloning on my drives, and running out of space on my main external back up drive.
    Along with my main drive in my G4, I have 2 additional internal western digital dives. So I am wondering if it is safe to use one of these extra drives as a back up drive for the other western digital working drive instead of using a separate external drive.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Anneita

    Hi Tom
    My external G Tech hard drive is firewire, so it's bootable. But I'm not using it in this case...just going from one internal drive to another internal drive.
    However, as a back up for this G Tech back up drive, I have a w 2T western digital that I have re-formatted as os extended journaled. I am assuming this western digital drive is not bootable since it is a usb drive, correct?
    So my question is, since the western digital is not bootable, what is the best way to back up my first G Tech back up drive (which will have 5 partitions from 5 different drives on it) to the western digital? (Another words, the G Tech would be my source drive and the western digital would be my destination drive.)
    Could I just drag and drop since the western digital drive is not bootable? What do you think is the best way to go?
    FYI, I have also have super duper.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Use GPIP for measure six point by six DMM at the same time

    First Question
    I will use GPIB for measure six point by six DMM at the same time. I will record the data in every mins.Could it avaiable? Is this method not accuray?
    I aslo wanna to run 3 labview programme at the same. time.Each programme is same and use GPIB to measure by 2 DMM and 2 Digital In .Could i do this?

    The first question is easily handled by triggering all instruments at the same time and then querying each in turn for the measured value. You can use eaither a hardware or software trigger (i.e. the gpib GET command). For your second question, are these 3 LabVIEW programs started by a single main program? How you want to run them will make a difference but in any case, the programs will have to have some sort of synchronization mechanism if you want measurements to be taken at the same time or if independent, a blocking mechanism to prevent simultaneous reads and writes. More details on the second question would help.

  • Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.

    Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.
    For example
    I have a <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="myChk"> in my jsf page, i want to access its value for another component like:
    <h:commandButton disabled="#{myChk.checked}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />
    ** "myChk.checked" >> I am just asuming "checked" property is available...

    Bind the checkbox to a UIInput myChk property. Then you can reference this property from the page, e.g.
    <h:selectBooleanCheckbox binding="#{myBean.myChk}" onchange="submit();" />
    <h:commandButton disabled="#{myBean.myChk.value}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />

  • HT1218 iPhone 4s connectivity issues with Time Capsule 4th generation

    Out of nowhere, my iPhone 4s all of a sudden quit connecting to my Time Capsule's wifi. Have never had any problems until yesterday. Have read multiple forums that say reset your iphone, turn wifi off and then on, forget and then resgn into network, change the channels on wifi from automatic to different channels. Changing the channels worked for about an hour and then I was back to square one. Everything else failed. iMac and MacBook connect without any problems or delays at all. PLEASE HELP?!?!

    Your TC replaced what?
    Are you extending on 2.4ghz?
    There is a chance the TC is lower than the router it replaced.. you may need to get the second Express closer to get a good signal so it can extend properly.. the idea is to have the express in about the centre of signal strength not distance.. use your laptop if you have one with a wireless analysis program like istumbler to find the signal at the TC from say 3M.. at the express 1 and at the express 2. Work out if the signal is too low and move them as appropiate.
    Or.. think the arrangement and use something like EOP adapters direct to your office.. they can work hugely better than wireless. (or just as badly.. depending on the house wiring).

  • HT201250 My time capsule is not allowing a back up indicating the 'time capsule is already in use'.  The system is set to back up and remove the oldest back up so it is not 'in use' as far as can see.  I believe something is in error.  Thoughts?

    I am new to this capability.  My problem is that my time capsule is not allowing a back up and indicates, The Back up 'is already in use' yet I have made no changes since I set the system up and now I am seeing this failure.  Thoughts?

    Thoughts?
    Bugs in Mavericks.
    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup

  • Can I generate pulse trains on more than one counter output at the same time?

    I have a PCI 6601 card with a BNC 2121 to connect the signals to two devices. The card is used as a trigger for both devices and I want to be able to generate pulse trains on two output channels at the same time, with a time delay between the two. How do I do that in Labview 7.1 Development with DAQmx?

    I feel foolish for not being able to figure this out, but it still doesn't work. Attached is the VI I use now. Counter 0 generates a finite pulse train and I programmed Counter 1 to generate a retriggerable single pulse triggered by CtrOinternaloutput. I still get the same error message: -50103 The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.
    The same happens if I set the trigger for counter 1 at PFI36 (default output of counter 0) or any other PFI line. If I try a pulse train generation on only one of the counters, both work fine.
    If I try the example in traditional DAQ for multiple counter outputs with phase delay, it works fine.
    Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

  • Can iTunes play 2 different songs on 2 different airport express at the same time?

    Hi
    I am trying to setup a multi zone home audio system where iTunes will be the main source of music.   I would like to be able to listen to different music in multiple zones at the same time and I am trying to find out if iTunes can support this or not.  I know there are "multi zone audio systems" that can be purchases from different companies (elan, Russound, Control4, etc) but I want to see if this functionality exists within Apple hardware before purchasing a different system.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    using two TV's you could do what you want. you'd have to select the content to stream on the units themselves or use Apple's remote app on an iDevice.

  • Can you manage a single library from two Pcs with iTunes at the same time?

    Dear all,
    I have a laptop and a desktop pc. Currently all my music and itunes are on the laptop. My laptop hard disk is filling up, so i want to move all the music off to the desktop. And yes i'd like to keep all the music in one location on the desktop pc. But ideally i'd like to be able to import new music to the library from both PCs, and also be able to modify the playlists and other details from both PCs. I looked at Sharing but that doesn't seem to let the non-owner to change the playlists....
    Any ideas how i can set this up?
    Thanks a lot, Dave

    The AE has multiple ports that can be expanded using hubs that we can hopefully connect the existing 3 TV sources, and can receive / transmit to multiple computers but can it operate the iTunes, internet distribution, and TV output (with switching TV inputs via the iMac & AE Utility) at the same time or do we need multiple AEs and another computer?
    The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have a TV or video output.
    The AEBS, just like any other router, supports multiple clients simultaneously. Of course there is always bandwidth limitations for any device. So in theory the AEBS can support all of that. In reality the performance of each service will depend on the bandwidth used by each and the bandwidth available. This is no different than any router.

  • Two computers backed up on the same Time machine disk, one computer is dead. How to access data?

    Hi guys,
    I backed up two different computers on the same time machine disk. Now, one of my computer is dead. I can see the backups on my time machine disk. How can I get the backup data that belongs to dead computer. When I enter time machine, I only have access to corresponding backup.  I do not want to  destroy the backups. My timemachine backup structure looks like below:
    -->Backups.backupdb
         -->Computer-1
         -->Computer-2
    Now, my Computer-1 is dead, and I am using Compter-2. If possible I wan to know a way of accessing Computer-1 data without destroying any other backups/files etc. Than you!

    I loathe sending people offsite for information except WRT time machine.  The late James Pond was a master at all things Time Machine related...maybe more....may he rest in peace for his contributions to ASC.
