Is there a way to backup a PC with the Time Capsule?

Yes, but unfortunately not with Time Machine. You could; however, use any PC backup product that supports network drives as a destination for their backups. One such product is Genie9's Genie Backup Manager Home.
Genie9 offers a similar option for Time Machine for PCs, called Genie Timeline Home. It is advertised to support backups to "NAS and network storages," but several folks who have this reported that it wasn't able to backup to a Time Capsule. If you decide to give either Genie9 product a try, please be sure to give their trial versions a go to make it works for your situation.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Then sync.

  • 180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

    Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
    Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
    I have updated my profiles as you suggest.  Excellent tip.
    This guidance is good.  Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make.  Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
    Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
    The answer is “yes”.  Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
    The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum.  After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance.  The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule. 
    Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum.  I had to call Apple again.  This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site”  (not the Time Capsule).
    Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup.  Everything appears to be in order.  When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
    Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software.  So I have another backup of both computers.

  • Is there a way to get iCal to put the time of each event on Monthly view without going in and editing each event?

    When I enter a new event on iCal with the time, it leaves the time off of the Monthly view and in order for me to glance at the times of the day's events I have to click on each event or go into the event and edit it again putting the time on, for it to show.  Is there a way to get it to show without doing this?

    Sorry.  Only after posting did I see that this question has been asked already and the answer given.  Please ignore this post.

  • Is there a way to play itunes music with the computer shut?

    Is there a way to play itunes music while the computer is shut?

    Not without either an external monitor and keyboard, or using a hack. If you want to try an hack app, look into:

  • Can I backup my laptop on the time capsule that is currently backing up my iMac data?

  • Is there a way to backup my bookmarks from the bookmarks menu tab?

    After recently having a problem reinstalling my old bookmarks, I'm now wondering if there is a easy way to backup my very recent bookmarks, when I enter my bookmarks from the menu tab? I don't see a link within the bookmarks tab to do so. It would be nice to see a specific link within the bookmarks tab to do such a function. Does anyone have any solutions, or know a way to quickly backup my bookmarks? Thank you.

  • Is there a way to use spare space on Airport Time Capsule as normal external hard drive?

    A friend uses a hard drive with Time Machine for backup, but also has need for an external hard drive to hold a large number of photos that are filling up her computer's hard drive.  Hers isn't an Airport Time Capsule but I have one that is.  So that raised a two part question:
    1. Can her external drive used with Time Machine somehow also be used to store many of her photos (sort of a second iPhoto library) to let her to offload them?
    2. Can an Airport Time Capsule be used that way? (Mine is 2 TB but my hard drive is 500 GB.)
    Just curious.  Thanks.

    Can her external drive used with Time Machine somehow also be used to store many of her photos (sort of a second iPhoto library) to let her to offload them?
    Not sure if I understand.
    To keep things simple, let's just say she has an image library on her Mac it might be iPhoto or another library.
    Time Machine is backing up the image library to the external hard drive. So, the "original" version of the image library is on her Mac, and Time Machine is making a backup copy on the external hard drive.
    If you move the image library to the external drive....Time Machine has nothing to back up....and the only copy of the image library will be on the external hard drive.
    If the external drive has a problem.....she has lost all of her images since there are no other copies of the image library on another drive.
    Is this what you are asking about?  Do you see the danger here?
    Can an Airport Time Capsule be used that way? (Mine is 2 TB but my hard drive is 500 GB.)
    Yes it could, but the same dangers would apply.
    Or, maybe I am not understanding what you are asking?

  • Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

    i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events.  I would like to delete all events with the same title.  I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually.  These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
    I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
    this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well. 
    Please help!

    If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

    You can use your balance for your own purchases only.

  • Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

    Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
    I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
    I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
    Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
    Thanks.

    this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

  • Is there a way to change usage right with the SDK?

    Working on a web application that populates a PDF form based on interview questions using a third party tool. Everything works correctly except when there is a signature field on the form. Looking at the document properties, the Signing right has been changed from allowed before data population to not allowed after data population. Is there a way to reset this right back to allowed using the tools in the SDK?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Next question, if AFORMAUTLib is used to populate the data, instead of the third party tool, and the filled out PDF is written out to a memory stream to be displayed in the browser, would this change the rights of the document?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is there a way to "stamp" PDF files with the purchaser's email address?

    I would like to sell PDF reports and/or eBooks via BC, but I would like to be able to stamp each such PDF/eBook with the purchaser's email address.
    There are certainly stand-alone PDF stamper programs and some providers like gumroad.com already offer that feature.
    Anyone actually done it with BC, please?
    Thanks in advance
    Andy

    Thanks for the rapid response, Liam -- even if it's not the response I was hoping for.
