How to connect my iMAC to the time capsule(with cable)?!

I bought the Time Capsule Machine and I tried more than 8 times to do the backup.
Always it takes some days and doesn't finish. So, I thought maybe the problem could be the connection without cables. But I don't know how to do it, I tried without success.
Thank's

Thank you for helping me, but I already tried and didn't work... Maybe I put it on the wrong place, but if I did it, I really don't know where is the wright place...
There are 2 different kind of place to put on the time capsule and only one on the iMac... I tried both!
Thank you again

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/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.

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

  • I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue.  However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad.  Does someone know how?

    On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
    Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Type the name directly into windows explorer.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
    Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
    Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

  • How to restore my imac from a time capsule

    My iMac had its OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks fully deleted and reinstalled in the Aple Store in Haarlem Netherlands yesterday.
    Seen severe corruption problems of my KeyChain log-in codes.
    Everything restored from iCloud was fully OK such as Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Notes.
    But I lost all my iTunes data and iPhoto data, MS Ofiice data such as Word, Excel, etc.
    My iMac however was connected through WiFi to a Time Capsule but I really do not know if the Time Capsule was ever set to ON under System Preferences. Or was it simply always set to OFF on my iMac.? .......
    Question 1 : How can I find out directly on my Time Capsule if a separate Volume was ever made for this iMac ? And how can I restore that volume - if I find it back - to my iMac ?.
    Time Capsule Program on my restored iMac seems to be fully empty. Last date is yesterday and nothing before.
    Question 2 : When I connect my iMac directly through Ethernet cable to my Time Capsule I do not know how to find and retrieve (restore)  the speciic volume for my iMac.
    Question 3 : how to delete the very old volumes directly on the Time Capsule which are not in use any more since years. ?
    Question 4 : Any other suggetions for how to restore iPhoto and iTunes ? From iPhone, from iPod ? Let's not discuss Photostram here now.....
    Thanks Apple Store - I seem to have a serious problem

    Mavericks does nasty things to the Time Machine backups..
    It tends to overwrite everything or certainly to hide it.
    If the TM was not turned on, then it could not backup.
    Let me recommend you spend the time reading the brilliant stuff Pondini wrote ..
    He has specific info about restoring iphoto.
    See here.. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    But read all the Questions, 14-17 so you understand how TM works..
    The instructions for deleting old backups is Q12.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    But don't delete anything as you might at least get partial recovery from those files.
    For a full restore or migration see this page.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    It includes setup and migration for OS up to Mountain Lion.
    The guy who wrote all this info died before he had a chance to update it to Mavericks.. sadly.. he did a great service to the community.
    Conclusion .. do not send stuff to Apple for repair before you make a disk image backup. Never trust Time Machine to do whole computer restores.. and Mavericks is a mess.

  • How to use the time capsule with my existing router?

    Here is my situation. I have Alltel PCD UM185 USB modem for their mobile broadband internet. I have a Cradlepoint MBR1000 router which I plug the usb modem into to share the internet through a wireless network which has WPA security on it. I want to use my 1TB time capsule to backup the computers in my house wirelessly and not as a router. What connection do I need to make and how to do I setup the time capsule this way? I can't figure it out. Thanks for any help in advance. If you need more information just ask.
    Thanks,
    John

    Steven's solution will work just fine if you want to connect the Time Capsule using ethernet.
    You might also consider configuring the the Time Capsule to "Join" the wireless network. In this type of configuration, backups would occur only over wireless and you could locate the Time Capsule virtually anywhere it can receive a good, strong wireless connection. Important Note...the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you will not be able to connect using ethernet.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue
    Then select the option to "Join a wireless network" and follow the prompts

  • How to connect an external disk to time capsule?

    Hi,
    I've just connected my new external disk 2TB to the time capsule device. However, it doesn't show in the disk tab in Airport express. Yes, of course the disk is on, it's hfs+journaled formatted and works fine when connected directly to my usb port on my MacBook Pro.
    Any suggestion, please?
    Thanks.

    Unless this is a really new feature, Airport Express doesn't support external USB disks; only USB printers.
    The Wireless-N Time Capsules and Airport Extremes support external USB disks.

  • HT1178 i can't connect the time capsule with my mac using the aiport utility. i want to use the time capsule to make backup for my mac book pro. the time capsule is giving a flashed amber light. please advice me

    the time capsule is giving flashed amber light and i cant connect it to my mac book pro. i want to use it with the time machine to make backup for my mac. please advice me.

    To do the setup, plug it in via ethernet.. do not try to setup over wireless.. Once it is setup you can plug the TC into the network and use wireless.
    Most likely you will use the TC in bridge to an existing modem router.. but we cannot help as you have no details of the network setup.
    I do recommend in the setup of the TC you use SMB type names.. that means, short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. as later Mac OS do have issues with long names, spaces and that apple shocker, the apostrophe.

  • Can I connect my iTouch to the Time Capsule?

    I am hoping to connect my iTouch to my Time Capsule, so the iTouch will sync with iTunes via the network.  Is this possible?  I have attached the iTouch to the Time Capsule USB port, but when I open iTunes, my iTouch does not appear.
    I contacted Apple Support a few weeks ago about this.  The suprisingly unhelpful fellow said that it was not a Time Capsule issue and that if I wanted help, he could redirect me to the iTouch support contingent.  If he transferred me, though, he warned, I would have to pay a fee because my iTouch was more than 90 days old.
    Honestly, I was miffed!  I would think Apple Support would help me connect other Apple peripherals to an Apple peripheral, for the Time Capsule is only 1 month old and eligible for free support.
    But enough ranting, any advice?

    There are so many ideals in our worlds, aren't there?
    Another question you could perhaps help me with.  I am using my TC as an external hard disk as well.  I will want to purchase another hard disk to back up the data on the TC.  A 500 GB disk will do.  Should I get one with an external power source?  Or a plug-and-play?
    I tried to do this with an older hard disk drive, but the TC would not recognize it.  I was able to do a back-up by connecting the TC by ethernet cable to the computer and the hard drive by USB to the computer.  But I'd like to get a drive that the TC will recognize and use CCCloner to back up automatically my files on the TC to an external hard drive.  I would like to connect the hard disk directly to the TC via an ethernet port or the ideally-and-sensically-free USB port.
    As a test, I just plugged a USB key into the TC, but the TC does not recognize it.  When I plug it into the MacBook, the MacBook does recognize it.  It is formatted as FAT32.  I am nervous about purchasing a disk that the TC won't recognize. 
    Thanks again for your help!

  • How do i save data on the time capsule

    i'm setting up a new time capsule and i would like to use it as a back and also an external hard drive to be views from my network but once i select the time machine option i can't drop and drag file into the time capsule, please help

    You can drag and drop files to the Time Capsule using the Finder.
    Open Macintosh HD or the Finder and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of window.
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder representing the drive will appear in the window to the right.
    Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop.

  • Using the Time Capsule with a Mac OS X 10.4.10

    I'm sure this post has turned up often, but I've searched Google high and low and cannot find an easier solution to my problem.
    Basically, I bought the Time Capsule because I wanted to use the wireless router and I wanted an external hard drive. I've read articles stating that, even though I don't have Leopard and thus don't have Time Machine, I can still use the Time Capsule's storage to manually back up files (MP3s, photos, movies, etc.). However, I cannot find anywhere to tell me exactly how to do this (and it's making me feel rather illiterate when it comes to Macs)...
    Could someone help me out?

    All you need to do is follow the Time Capsule setup guide. I believe the 1st gen. TC setup guide is non-specific for Leopard/Tiger OS.
    http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
    Perhaps you need to describe your setup, what you want, what you've done, and what doesn't work yet.

  • What is best modem for time capsule with cable internet?

    We're subscribing to Comcast

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Any modem will work. Note that you will only use your modem to connect your Time Capsule to it using an Ethernet cable, and it will bring the Internet connection to the Time Capsule, so all modems do the same

  • Fats 32  ntfs how can i change it on the time caps with win7

    when i bougth my time caps. i was able to partition it to a fat32
    but now i want it to be a ntfs drive. i can't seem to find an option to change this

    It is not possible to partition a Time Capsule.
    You might be seeing some virtual drive software created on the TC but you have not actually partitioned it.. easy to tell btw. open the airport utility on any computer.. Mac or PC.. all partitions will be listed. If it is listed as data then you have something different going on..
    You can partition a USB drive plugged into a TC.. but you cannot use NTFS anyway.. the TC internal drive is formatted HFS+ now and forever more.. a USB drive can be FAT16 FAT32 or HFS+.. nothing else is recognised.
    Over the network.. the PC will see the share as NT server so perhaps FAT32.
    PC over the network will not be able to tell what actual format is on the drive and nor will it care.
    But you may have large file limitation.. that is windows issue. It has nothing to do with the TC.

  • I have a new comcast modem i have connected to Time Capsule with cable, TC in double NAT. As when I tried it in bridge mode I cannot use Sonos, the units will not connect to the wifi network? I thought Bridge mode would make the wifi signal better??

    I have the TC connected to the comcast modem, with TC in Double NAT mode. I set up the sonos music players ok. But I read that to incresae the wifi signal the TC should be in Bridge mode. Then I cannot get any of the Sonos units to connect to the wifi network.
    So two questions, does the Bridge mode give a better wifi signal then double NAT?
    Why will sonos not connect to the network when in Bridge mode?

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.
