How to change password on time capsule?

The Time Capsule has two passwords.....a device password and a wireless network password.
Which password are you referring to here?
In order to provide detailed step by step instructions for how to change the password, we will need for you to also post back to let us know what type of operating system....Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard, etc, that you are using on your Mac.

  • How To Change password of Time Machine

    Today I went in and changed the password of my time machine back up drive through Airport Utility. It stopped backing up. I tried deleting numerous passwords showing up in Keychain but didnt work so I changed it back to the old password. I looked in Apple Tech support file but nothing indicated how to change the password. Does anyone know the proper way to change my password in my time capsule? I use it as my internet router as well.

    There are several passwords, and they are not necessarily identical:
    Your Time Capsule
    Your wireless network
    Your Time Capsule's disk
    It's not clear which of them you want to change, but any of them can be changed using AirPort Utility.
    If Time Machine stopped backing up, open Time Machine's Preferences and turn off Time Machine. Choose "Add or Remove Backup Disks", choose the disk, then Remove Disk. Confirm with the Stop Using This Disk button. Add it again. You will be prompted for the disk's password (not the Time Capsule's). Time Machine will turn itself back on, a backup will then commence, and your existing backups will not be affected.
    The iPad is a separate issue, but it has a similar fix: go to Settings > Wi-Fi, select your network then "Forget this Network". Select the network again, provide its password, and verify you can connect.

  • How to change loacalization of time capsule and other wifi hardware

    I have several apple machines like, time capsule and airport extreme from different countries around the world. In a globalized world I move every 3-4 years to a new country/region. In the wifi setup of the time capsule and the airport extreme you'll only find 5 or six countries (china, Korea, Japan, chile...) but nothing about Morocco or any european country. So when you try to set "restricted access" between 1 to 5 p.m., your regional setting is China, but you live some where in Europe, there is a time difference of several hours you have to take into consideration. That is a bad joke.
    There is no way of choosing a different location or setting the time as far as I know inside the setup.
    Any ideas, before I sell all my Apple stuff and buy Samsung or Fujitsu?

    Hi, you must go to Airport Utility, and in menù Disk you can change the name.

    Comment changer le password de time capsule sans effacer les données deja présente dans time capsule

    There is no danger of a reset erasing data..
    Look up the info about reset.. the easiest is soft reset and it will simply allow access for 5min with default passwords..
    But neither full or factory reset will touch the data..

    How can I use my time capsule with windows7?

    This is asked regularly.

    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 do I use my time capsule as wifi for my xbox one?

    How does one setup a time capsule to use as a home network to allow Xbox one usage as well?

    set up the time capsule with an iOS device, a Mac or a PC, and then connect the Xbox to the time capsule like with any other router. however, for some Xbox features, you'll need to do specific setting changes. see this thread: Apparently I need to open several ports on my Airport Extreme to be able to chat on Xbox One.

  • How can I set my time capsule to back-up only once a day?

    How can I set my time capsule to only back-up once a day.  It appears to be backing up several times a day.  Not sure there is a set schedule for the back-ups and they take a great deal of time; over an hour each.

    Then something is wrong.  Changing the schedule will only deal with the symptom (and give up one of the better features of Time Machine's usually quick and unobtrusive hourly backups).
    See if the size of the backups makes sense, considering what you've changed since the previous one.  If it seems much too large, that may be the problem.  See #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for some common culprits and ways to see just what's going on.
    If the sizes seem reasonable, see #D2 in the same link for things that can cause extra-slow backups.

  • How do I convert a Time Capsule former Time Machine into an external drive?

    I want to convert my 2TB Time Capsule (which I formerly used as a Time Machine) into an external drive.  I now have a 3TB which I have set up as the Time Machine thus freeing the 2TB to hopefully work as an external drive.  The 2TB now sits with the old Time Machine backup data intact but I no longer need that backup.  I had it hooked up to my modem but not have hooked the ethernet up to my desktop (is that right?).  Please advise how to prep the 2TB Time Capsule to be a normal external drive. 

    1) How do I turn the wireless on the TC on or off? Where do I go to change the settings.
    Spend some time in the airport utility.. the easiest way is simply go through every screen until you are familiar with the controls.
    Open airport utility.. click the TC.. click edit.
    Click the wireless tab. Click on Network mode.. select Off..
    2) I found the Touro 4TB and the price is quite inexpensive compared to other 3 and 4TB units. What's the reason for that? Am I missing something in the specs? They offer a Touro Deskpro and a Touro DX3. I can't tell from the description what the difference is - I can't see beyond 4TB. Is one preferable over the other?
    They are competing with better known brands.. ask anybody hard disk brands they know.. and either Western Digital or Seagate come to mind. People easily forget there was hitachi (ex IBM). Although Hitachi sold their disk division but due to anti-trust laws it could not be sold entirely to WD who bought half of it.. Toshiba bought the other half. WD tries to hide the Hitachi drive name to bury it.. they bought to bury. But Toshiba keeps it alive.
    I actually buy Hitachi drives (Toshiba now) in preference to the others. But everyone has their favourite. The Touro are just good value for money.. the case is not exactly the work of art.. buy LaCie for that. It is a bit over large and the plastic is plasticiky, if you get my drift. Silver plated plastic to make it look like metal is not my favourite.. but I am hardly concerned with the look..!! It looks like an external hide drive.. hide it if you find it ugly.
    The difference between the Touro Pro and the Touro DX3 4TB drives is the speed of the drives, the pro is 7200rpm and the the DX3 should be 5400rpm.
    I am not 100% sure of the above..  but it is likely to be different drives.. We have not seen DX3 in our market until recently.. they were all pro.
    None with bigger than 4TB at this point..
    3) OWC - never heard of this group - are the hard drives dependable in your experience? 
    Retailers who sell Touro and Toshiba and LaCie and every other brand.. sell online and to overseas.. good prices if not the cheapest.. have their own lines of shells, as well selling all the others.. have their own brand SSD but obviously bought in from elsewhere.. RAM, kits for all sorts of things.. huge catalog and very Apple orientated.
    I am amazed if you have been on a Mac for more than 5min.. google ads have not flashed up OWC 20 times.. you must have good resistance to advertising.
    Please google OWC.. if I post their actual URL the post will get deleted.
    Look up say external drives.. they have one zillion of them.

  • How to browse files in time capsule from outstate?

    how to browse files in time capsule from outstate?

    I presume by outstate you mean remote access ie from internet in a different location??
    If so google for remote access time capsule.
    It is simple if you have TC setup as the main router and a static public IP.
    Just go to finder, go, go to server and type in AFP://IPofTC
    The TC has to be checked to allow wan access and use a decent password as the security for AFP is poor.

  • How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    An alternate, and simpler method for most users is to open any Finder window, then look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window.
    When you click on the Time Capsule icon, a folder......named "Data", unless you have changed the name of the drive.....will appear to the right.
    Double-click "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop, where you can now drag/drop or copy/paste data to the drive.
    If the Time Capsule does not appear under the Shared heading when you open a Finder window......then you are likely using the Yosemite operating system on your Mac, and it will take some work to find it.
    In that case, Niel's method might be the better way to go.

  • How do you replace a time capsule with a newer one

    How do you replace a time capsule with a newer one?

    LOL.. pull the old one out.. put the new one in. Setup the new one.. do not copy setting from the old one.. it is better to start over and never copy configuration files.. although you might get away with it.
    Plug the old TC into the new one.. change it to bridge mode.
    You can then access and copy old backups to the new TC if you want. Although IMHO just keep the old TC for 6months. .then wipe it and sell it or use in different role. Do start clean fresh backups on the new TC.
    If that is all useless. ask the specific question and we can try for a specific answer.

  • How do I use my Time Capsule with hotel wired internet

    How do I use my Time Capsule as a wireless router on my hotel free internet ethernet cable?

    It may not be possible..
    If they use a web access page, then there is no way you can set the TC to authenticate.. you must use the computer to authenticate and then use the computer to bridge to the TC for wireless clients to access.
    Look up instructions on using ICS (internet connection sharing) in the Mac.
    eg for 10.6.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6589
    eg http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740
    Of course if there is no login then you could just use it.. but I doubt you would be asking if it just worked.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
