I can't acces my Itunes movies from my Time Capsule

I am trying to access my Itunes movies from my time capsules after I did the backup. When I click on the movie I can see the movie icon, however when I doble click it I am getting this message: "protected video, it can only be play with itunes or quicktime". Please help. Thanks

you will have to restore the file(s) before you can use them. you cannot use them from within the backup.
How do I view or restore selected items?

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • How can I safe my data back from the Time capsule to iphone and macbook?

    Hi,
    last weekend we were robbed while being on vacation and iphones and macbook air got stolen. Good thing was that at home we had a time capsule and our normal macbook. As soon as we get the new iphones and the new airbook we want to get our itunes and apps and datas back to the iphones and airbook ... can somebody tell us how to re-safe or back-safe stuff from the time capsule back to the equipment?
    Thank you ... I feel so "naked" without my phone :-(

    Sorry about your loss. Follow the directions here to use Time Capsule to restore your new Air to the state your old Air was in when stolen. When you first connect your new phones, you'll be given the option of restoring from the backup of your old phones or setting up as new. Restore from your previous backups, followed by syncing your content back to your phones. You should be good to go. Maintaining current backups makes this a piece of cake.

  • Why can't I delete certain files from my Time Capsule?

    I don't have my Time Capsule set up to back up every hour or so.  It's set up so that I can manually drag & drop files into it.  I've been trying to free up space by deleting some movie files that don't need anymore.  They appear to be just .avi format but I haven't been paying close enough attention to see if any other formats won't delete.  What prevents certain files from being deleted from the Time Capsule?

    What about the setting for "Secure Shared Disks"?

    I only asked about each folder down the hierarchy to and including one video you can't delete.
    If you copy a new file into each of the higher-level folders down to and including the "MOVIES" folder, can you then delete that new file?
    If you're willing to use a command in a Terminal session, I can tell you how to determine what process has a file open.
    I'll be offline for the next few hours, so I won't be able to reply as quickly as I've been for the last several exchanges.

  • Can you extend a wireless connection from one time capsule to another wirelessly?

    We have two time capsules, one is connected to our modem and is transmitting a wireless network. It is in a really out of the way location, and we would like to set up a network printer in a different location on that network, so we got another time capsule (to hook up to the printer at a different location). Could we possibly extend the wireless network to the second time capsule with the printer attached so we could use the printer as a network printer? (If yes, HOW?)

    Could we possibly extend the wireless network to the second time capsule
    Yes, if the second Time Capsule is located where it can receive a good wireless signal from the other Time Capsule.
    To test, move a laptop to the proposed location of the second Time Capsule. Log on using wireless on the laptop and spend some time to make sure that you have a good, solid reliable Internet connection. If you do, then the Time Capsule should work well at that location.
    You would use AirPort Utility to configure the second Time Capsule to "Extend a wireless network".  If you open AirPort Utility now as a test, can you "see" both Time Capsules there?
    The reason that we ask is that you might need to check some settings on the "main" Time Capsule to be able to configure the second Time Capsule correctly.
    with the printer attached so we could use the printer as a network printer?
    If the same printer works on your Time Capsule now, then it should work on the second Time Capsule. If it is working now, you may not even need to re-install it again when it is connected to the second Time Capsule. 
    This is one of those times when you will not know if something will work until you actually try.

  • Can I plug the hard drive from my Time Capsule into my PC?

    My laptop's hard drive recently died and the chance of being able to recover any data from it is pretty slim. To make matters worse, i've been meaning to buy a new Time Capsule for a while as mine is no longer functioning correctly (won't let me connect even with a solid green light).
    I'm hoping that's the fault of the rest of the Time Capsule, and not the hard drive and its contents. So, would it be possible to plug the Time Capsule's hard drive into my Windows PC and somehow recover the data from there?
    Thanks!

    The only files you can recover are ones you put there.. so the only way and the only person who knows the answer is you.. where did you put the files?
    Did you put them in a new folder under the share, data.. then that is where they will be.
    If you put them inside the sparsebundle.. you are dead. But if you created a new directory inside the sparsebundle you might still get access to it.. there is only one way to find out.. have a go.. !!
    BTW if you did this, that is why you have issues.. putting files inside a sparsebundle will destroy it. Not a great idea. But it is allowed.
    Who can know these things.. YOU.. and YOU ALONE.
    You might find it cheaper in your case to repair the TC..
    If it is Gen 1 or 2, type "Time Capsule Power Supply" into ebay.. without the ""
    There are some there to help you fix it.
    Or a repairer could help.

    It is much easier to get your files back from a working TC.

  • Can i have multiple iTunes  accounts on the time Capsule

    We are think about buying a time capsule for the family, we all have are own accounts. I want to make sure that they will work to back up to the time capsle with out anyproblems or anything being mixed up.

    How many Macs do you have?  Unless things are explicitly excluded, Time Capsule backs up an entire Mac, regardless of how many OS X user accounts are defined on it.
    I'm not sure why you mentioned iTunes accounts in the subject of your post.  Is there anything you're not mentioning?

  • ITunes, Apple TV and Time Capsule streaming questions

    I have a question about how to handle an Apple Tv with my new Time Capsule setup.
    Setup is as follows
    Macbook with 29g iTunes library, mostly music and purchased iTunes Music Videos. Some movies converted via Handbreak. All of that synced to my 160g ATV.
    Time Capsule with 300g of movies converted via Handbreak.
    Macbook Pro that has the movies on the TC as it's library, shared to stream to the Apple TV.
    I am connected with the Macbook by G, the Macbook Pro by N, the Time capsule by N. assume that the Macbook is off, so that everything is N.
    If I stream a movie, does the path go Macbook pro reads time capsule, time capsule sends the data to the MPB, and then the MPB streams to the ATV?
    Or, does the ATV read the path of the music on the TC, and stream it direct from there?
    I tried to play an online game (World of Warcraft) while watching a movie on the ATV that is on the TC that hitched / studdered / buffered like crazy.
    I want to eventually set up 2 ATVs both reading the media on the TC to stream. From the looks of things now, I wont be able to stream 2 at the same time, and definately not while playing online.
    I know there are a lot of threads out there about iTunes and wht not, i've read them and did my best... but i'm not a pro at networking. Not sure if I have settings wrong, or can improve something, or if i have just bad luck
    Any and all info, with the Idiots Guid explanation, is appreciated
    Thanks

    Update .... fixed this problem. 3 words:
    LINE OF SIGHT
    I had full signal on both my Laptop and my ATV before the fix. I figured with my tiny 900 sq foot home with the TC no more than 30 feet unobstructed from the ATV and Laptop that I would be fine since the signal was full.
    However, on a whim i moved the LAPTOP into the room with the TC and streamed to the ATV... and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I then logged on my online game, and it still worked flawlessly. I then opened Ventrillo (basically VOIP program to chat w people) ands till streamed flawlessly. I then opened up Adium and loaded Yahoo/AIM and it was still streaming fine.
    I then moved the laptop back into the next room, and it instantly hung.
    So i picked up the Time Capsule that was on a desk next to a wooden box that i use to store CDs in, and put it on top of the box. I then reloaded everything and streamed with laptop back int he next room and it was perfect. I was able to have all the above open AND surf the web (so we are not talking a DECENT amount of traffic on the same laptop that streams the movie to the ATV) and it was fine. I did notice a 1-2 second video hitch (not audio and no rebuffering) whenever I opened a website that had more than 40 photos on it or any video... i guess that coupled with the game, VOIP and IM software was too much traffic.
    So, I am happy to annouce that i have no problems streaming itunes or streaming movies from the time capsule to my apple tv. i am so happy. I was prepared to go and buy a mac mini and wire that and the apple tv to the tc. Instead, I am probably going to buy a second ATV for the bedroom.

  • Is it possible to store AppleTV movies on a Time Capsule?

    I have a 500TB Time Capsule that has plenty of free disk space... I have an AppleTV that is running low. Is there an easy way to have the AppleTV stream / store purchased movies from the Time Capsule?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    If you are meaning can the TC HDD simply be used as an extension to the tv storage, then no this cannot be done.
    What you can of course do is use the TC HDD to accommodate some or all of your itunes library, then it's a simple case of transferring purchases from the tv to itunes, thereby freeing up space on the tv. You can then stream this content when you want to watch it, providing itunes is running on your mac/pc.

  • How can I move my itunes movies from my iMac to my mac mini which is serving as a media server attached to HDTV?

    I want to move my itunes movies from my iMac to my Mac Mini, which is hooked up to my HDTV, so that I can save space on the iMac and use the direct source Mac Mini to view the iTunes movies that I purchase and download.  Can anyone give me ideas on how to do that?

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.
