how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn.
Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
This is the only safe way to do it via windows.

If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

Access Time Capsule over internet with Windows??

Is this possible? I have a MobileMe account, and if required a dynamic dns hostname.
My Time Capsule is behind a router. What firewall settings do I need to allow?
Thanks

I'd suggest going over to http://www.dyndns.org and pick up a dynamic DNS. that will allow you to access your Timecapsule even if your ip address changes.
typically Windows wont work with afp:// addresses (which is appleshare) Windows natively uses SMB:// (samba/windows filesharing) you should be able to set up the smb sharing using timecapsule.
Looking at the time capsule setup, it looks like smb:// is automatically supported so you should type
smb://TCexternal_IPaddress
instead of afp://

Using Time capsule via internet

if my time capsule is at home, can i have access via internet from my company?

Your company probably has various firewalls in place that would prevent this.
There are numerous articles on connecting to the Time Capsule on the Internet. For starters:

Can I use Time Capsule shared drive with Windows 7?

I have a MacBook Pro and want to buy/set up Time Capsule and use it as a shared hard drive in my small home office. We have PC's as well with Win7. WIll this work?

First find the spec for your AEBS. TC is Gigabit ethernet ie 10/100/1000. The older AEBS were Fast ethernet ie 10/100.
What would I do? TC set as base and create its own wireless network.. Main computer and cable modem attach to it. AEBS set up as bridge and create its own wireless network.
With this set up you can configure TC as N only at 5 GHZ if you have Extreme capable wireless Macs. The AEBS set N+(B/G) 2.4 GHZ for older G capable Macs. If you ever purchase Apple TV it can connect to the TC for speed of upload files to itself. The older Macs can still connect to AEBS and be used a Apple TV to stream.

Time Capsule via Internet from Windows

Frnds,
I couldnt find solve for my problem. Could anyone help me, pls?
I have TC. It work as router. TC connect via Ethernet cable. I want to connect to it from anyplace of the world via internet and use files on it. I switched on Share files in Airport Utility. I have stat IP. All should be work. But it is not working. When i check ports(137-139, 455) then i see that ports is closed. When i try to mapping ports then i have warning message that they is using and to turn it on i need to switch off Share files.
I try to connect via FTP. I opened 21 port and it is realy open. But i still could not to connect.
One more thing - i could to connect to TC via afp:// from Macbook. But i need to connect from other places using Windows.
I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. All eligible information and screens im ready to provide. HELPDESK CONNECTED UP!!!
sry for my english

The TC does not offer FTP and ISP do not allow SMB connection via internet due to risk. Nor apparently does the TC allow wan connection using SMB.
So the simple answer is, you will have to figure out another way in.

There are no AFP client support for windows available.

Buy a vpn router and place it infront of the TC which should be bridged.. vpn to the network and then you can access the TC.. but you should understand the TC was not made to be used as a NAS nor to serve PC's.

How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

Hello,
I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their network.
Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
Thank you for your help.

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection. You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection. Is this possible?

I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection. Is this possible?

Sure.. the PC connects by SMB.. the Mac connects by AFP or SMB..
But you can simply share SMB directly from the Mac.. there is no need to copy files through the TC. Go to system preference, sharing, and turn on SMB for the folder you want to share files to / from on the Mac.
Make sure you have a common username and password also helps.
If you have a TC already can you copy files to it via the windows machine??

Can i use time capsule without internet connection?

I bought Time Capsule 4th Gen. 2Tb without knowig that it is a router. I already have Netgear N900, and I don't know if I can use them both together. Currently, it looks like I cannot connect to Apple Time Capsule (ATC) without the internet connection. I neither have to figure out how to use ATC without the internet, or figure out way to use both of the router at the same time. Please help me with this problem. This is my first MacbookPro, and everything is new to me. I would appreciate any kind of help! Thank you!

Ok .. this is pretty easy.
You plug the WAN port on TC into the N900 LAN port by ethernet.
Open the airport utility on the Mac.
Simply allow it to automatically setup and it should select bridge mode.. if not just jump in at the end .. click on the edit under the summary and go to the network tab and select bridge.
Then go to the wireless tab and make sure you are creating a wireless name.. you can give it the same name as the N900 same security same password.. this is called roaming network.
Or use a different name.. use short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
I have given a different name to 5ghz.
It will not matter which wireless you connect to but the TC is faster on the 5ghz for backups.

How to Use calendar service via internet not intranet

Hello:
I wanted to know if there is any change or stuff (like proxy web server) to use the calendar via Internet.
i.e.
i access the calendar on my networ througth http://hostname.domainname.com:portnumbre.
When i try to access via internet therougth www.domainname:portnumer, it cannot be accesible.
What are the procedures, by the way i have used the evaluation senario for this.
Thanks in advice.

Hi:
Thanks for the reply but still yet it does not fix my problem.
Let me explain a little bit more:
The DNS looks up to the ip so the access page can be reached, but when i try to use the service it does not work.
So i guess i need to ad some line to ics.conf?? or something else:
My domain internally just works fine.
host.mydomain.com:3080
and i access and use the clalendar
however when outside the intranet i.e my home i use:
www.mydomain.com:3080
It accesses to the page where it asks me for login, but it does not authenticate. and continues asking for a user.
That�s why i think there must be some change in the configuration or software.
Once More
Thanks

Access Time Capsule via WAN on Windows

Hello
Please can someone tell me if they have been able to access a time capsule remotely from a windows box? I have afp working on Mac, but need a similar solution for windows?
Thanks
Mike

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the three LAN <--> ports on the Time Capsule to your Mac. Turn off the WIFi on the Mac and you are all set.
Whether or not the Ethernet connection will result in significantly faster performance when you enter Time Machine is open to question, since a lot of data must be loaded when you start up Time Machine to look at backups. In most cases though, a wired connection will load things faster than wireless.
Please let us know on your results.

How to use time capsule as hard drive and connect with existing net gear router

I have a netgear D6300 router, which i use to connect to internet - which is excellent so far for my downloads and games etc for my PS4 and hence am keen to continue using it. I bought the Airport time capsule for wireless storage, and when i set it up, I was advised on setup to connect the TC to my router, and it did what it needed to do.
Now, in order to connect to internet, i need to connect wifi to net gear router, but to access time capsule, i need to change wifi connection to my newly created wifi network with TC.
I want to use TC as a backup storage for my mac (its a 3TB TC), but also, my laptop has only 500gb hard drive which is now half full from downloads, so i want to transfer all my downloads to my TC and use it as an external hard drive, and future downloads to TC - but when i connect to wifi of TC, i can copy my folder on my mac, but not paste it to TC in finder. (the only thing in TC is an image of tmg of my macbook from first backup.).
How do i use TC as an external HD - there wasn't much difference in price of external wifi/wireless HD between non-TC and TC at 3gb, so i just thought i'd go for the airport TC option.
And is it possible to keep connected to wifi internet via net gear router, AND wifi TC - the whole point i bought it (from US shipped to australia on eBay, therefore not able to send back) was to use TC as external large HD via wifi, but keep my net gear router going.
Surely there is a way to not having to flick between wifi connections of TC and net gear internet.
When i'm connected to TC, i can't access internet, only TC.
And I don't really want to connect TC to my router via ethernet cable, as too many cables.
This can't be a difficult situation to manage, but i'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks

And I don't really want to connect TC to my router via ethernet cable, as too many cables.
Sorry but you have very little choice.
The TC can join to a wireless network.. but it is flakey, poor, slow and highly NOT recommended way to do things.
Nevertheless if you want to give it a try .. here is the method.
How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
You SHOULD, plug the TC into the Netgear and run it in bridge mode.. you set the wireless to create a wireless network.. then when you connect to the TC it will be also connected to the internet and fast.
(if you don't do that you may as well have used a USB drive plugged into the Netgear, as it would be just as good).
TC is not actually designed for mixing Time Machine backups and files.. but if you are just storing downloads that is ok.. but I strongly recommend you use a DMG or sparsebundle to prevent the TM and the data from messing each other.

How to use Time Capsule with USB HD attached

I recently bought a 500 mb TC, so am somewhat a newbie to it, and am already wondering if I should have bought the 1 Terrabyte model.
I am trying to figure out exactly how I can use the USB HD facility on the TC. Is the point of this that I can achieve extra Time Machine/Time Capsule backup-capacity automatically, i.e. if space runs out on the TC it will go to the USB HD automatically? Or do I have to choose this USB HD in Time Machine options?
Are there other ways of using the attached USB HD? For example to mirror the TC, for an extra level of safety. Or could I choose within Time Machine to backup only to this USB drive? Or could you use it as an additional Hard Drive that is nothing to do with Time Machine backups at all, just an extra HD accessed wirelessly?
Could you even add extra Hard Drives to Time Capsule with some sort of USB hub or in a chain.
I can't seem to find info about this in manual , so replies gratefully received.

The 500GB model is a much better value. As you've stated, you could add more HDD capacity when the prices come down.

No, TM cannot span from the current backup (internal TC HDD) to the USB HDD connected
Or do I have to choose this USB HD in Time Machine options?
Yes, you have to choose it. It also needs to be formatted HFS+ if it already isn't. You can only format the USB HDD when connected to your Mac. Disk Utility does not work on the TC HDD nor the USB HDD connect to the TC.
Are there other ways of using the attached USB HD? For example to mirror the TC, for an extra level of safety.
Yes, via AirPort Utility -> Disks -> Archive. It clones the internal HDD. It is NOT incremental.
Or could I choose within Time Machine to backup only to this USB drive?
No, TM cannot backup a NAS (i.e. the USB HDD connected to the TC).
Or could you use it as an additional Hard Drive that is nothing to do with Time Machine backups at all, just an extra HD accessed wirelessly?
Yes.
Could you even add extra Hard Drives to Time Capsule with some sort of USB hub or in a chain.
Yes.

Lots of good questions. You are right that the info isn't in the manual.

HT1178 how to use time capsule with bt homehub 3

I am awaiting a new Time Capsule 3TB to replace an existing 1TB TC, now too small for my needs. In my current setup, I have a British Telecom BT Homehub 3 for my internet connection and wireless provision. The TC connects to the wireless network, and used as a Time Machine.
I was considering using the new TC to provide the wireless network and somehow turn off the home hub's wireless output.
Is that possible?
Is it a good idea?

Is that possible?
Is it a good idea?
Yes, and Yes. .
But you don't even have to turn off the HH3 wireless.. leave it going as a guest network because there is one issue in this setup .. no guest.
Simply plug the WAN port of TC into the HH3 with ethernet..
Set up the TC to bridge mode.
This is router bridge not wireless bridge btw.
Setup wireless now as you prefer.. but I recommend you stick to standards rather than Apple defaults.. so all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.

How to access Time Capsule hard drive with out internet connection?

Basically I live in a four bedroom house. One of my roomates moved out who had the internet in there name. Now i dont have an internet access but I have the Time Capsule with a 2 TB hard drive that stores my whole itunes library. I have enough space on my Macbook Air to store my whole library. I'd like to move my whole iTunes library back to my computer and wipe the Time Capsule Clean.

If the Time Capsule is providing a wireless network signal, an Internet connection does not need to exist to move files from the Mac to the Time Capsule, or vice versa.
Log onto the Time Capsule wireless network
Open Macintosh HD
Look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window
Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder named Data (unless you have renamed it) will appear to the right
Double click Data to mount the drive on the Mac's desktop
Open the drive on the desktop and you can drag/drop files over to the destination that you choose on the Mac.
Once the file transfer is complete, double check to make sure that the files are back on your Mac and everything is working properly. Then, you can erase the Time Capsule hard drive.
