My time capsule will only work with one device at a time

I just purchased the Airport time capsule. I have it set up with my imac, but I also run a macbook air, older macbook, PC laptop, PC desktop, wii, xbox, and 3 iphones off of this device. My issue is that my ISP does not serve more than 1 IP address and with previous routers, the IP address they recognized was only on my router. Now, each time a new device tries to use the internet, my ISP is bypassing time capsule and recognizing the device IP address. It's very frustratitng! How do I set up my Time Capsule so that it's IP address is the only one my ISP recognizes, but all my devices are able to run off of the Time Capsule as the router. (obviously I am not over educated in this area so solutions in simple language are greatly appreciated!) Thanks!

I read the same solution somewhere else in the forum but it does not solve my problem. When I set up the Airport, it sets up in bridge mode by default. When I contacted my ISP they said it needed to be in bridge mode (their rationale is that they only allow 1 IP address). I just switched it to DHCP and NAT and this is what the default settings go to:
After I update it with these settings my internet won't work at all and this is the error message I get:
Any suggestions?
My internet "Digis". www.digis.net. They are a smaller company and put a dish on my roof. The modem is very small, does not have a router.

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

Graphite only works with one laptop at a time

I'm looking for some help for my daughter who is out of town doing an internship, so I'm trying to troubleshoot long distance. She has our old graphite airport base station. It worked fine here last time it was used. She has comcast cable internet in her apartment in Denver. She owns a G4 iBook & her roommate has a MacBook. The cable modem is plugged into the graphite base station and my daughter can access the internet wirelessly, but her roommate cannot. If my daughter's computer is off, then the roommate can access the internet wirelessly. I can't figure out why the Airport is only allowing one computer at a time to connect to the internet. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you!
Karin

The option is usually called "Share single IP address" but it may be worded differently on the graphite.

Will Itunes only communicate with one device per computer?

I get an invalid response from Itunes when my iphone4 is connected to Itunes. I also have a nano that connectes and is working properly. Will Itunes only work with one device per computer. I took the iphone to an apple store and it connects with itunes like it should. I have swapped cables and ports, and downloaded the latest version. Thanks for your help

It is mean to work with multiple devices, although not simultaneously. However I have had exactly the same issue with iTunes 10.7 and Windows7 and a new 16GB iPod touch on iOS6 just this week.
iTunes detects and displays the iPod classic fine, but won't find the iPod Touch when it is connected. The connection is working fine as the Windows OS can see the iPod touch, just not iTunes.
I had a 2nd PC, which has a copy of the iTunes on it and the same media collection - this PC immediately recognised the Touch, so I have gotten around this issue, although I suspect reinstalling iTunes on the original PC may have also fixed it - I have kept a copy of iTunes 10.7.exe so I can reinstall and avoid that POS V11.
I suspect iTunes gets tetchy about hooking in two devices.
Actually as a mostly Windows / Android user, I don't get why on earth do Apple force you to do everything via iTunes anyway? Seems crazy to me. I sort of like the way I can hook up the Android unit and just drag over the files I want without all the darn hoop jumping Apple wants me to do. Anyway... I digress.
So Not sure. Happy I found an easier solution than a reinstall of iTunes. Of course, using a 2nd (mirrored) PC might not be an option for you. Good luck. Wish I had a better / more useful suggestion for you.

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
2) Open Terminal.app
3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

Just installed a new time capsule and i want to use my airport express to extend my wireless range....time capsule working with existing devices at this time...but i am not able to get airport utility to recognize the airport express.....????

Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

Time capsule: will it work wirelessly without disrupting my wireless system?

Time capsule: will it work wirelessly without disrupting my wireless system?

This type of setup is difficult, and not officially supported by Apple for good reason.
Before you attempt this, you should know that this type of setup will require a "double hop" wireless connection for backups.
In other words, for your Mac to back up, the wireless signal must travel from your Mac to your wireless router......hop one.....and then travel from the wireless router to the Time Capsule....hop two.
This doubles the chances of an error occurring and unfortunately also doubles the amount of time that it will take for a backup to occur.
I've tried this type of setup a few times as an experiment. It gives new meaning to word "SLOW".
In addition, the Ethernet ports are disabled in this type of setup on the Time Capsule, so it is not possible to use them for any purpose.
Bottom line....the fact that the Time Capsule can possibly be configured this way.....does not in any way imply that it should be configured this way.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.

Help my MBP 2011's USB ports only work with powered devices

Hey.
My USB ports are only working with powered devices ( such as an interactive white board) they are not working wiht a USB modem, it picks up but doenst have the energy to dial out. it also doesnt work with a flash drive.
this is only recent after i updated non vital programs such as printer things.
now the other problem is that i have not updated this too recently but i dont mind losing some info.
ps. i have done all of the restarts such as smc, ram. pram. the only thing i have not done is take out the batt. but thats becuase its really hard to do and there are warnings all over it saying dont remove.
p.p.s i am running snow10.6.8
Please help becuase i need it to help teach some of my stundets and not being able to use a USB or the internet to research is impeeding my planning.
Thanks so much in advance

One final detail. it is a 2011 early model. if there is any more details that you want please ask. i am very desperate because i dont want to take it to apple unless i have to.

Time Capsule doesn't work with proxy?

Hello! I have a Time Capsule working with an ethernet connection which is controled by a proxy server. I don't see the option to configure TC in order to download the .pac file, or to configure manually the proxy settings.
Therefore, the internet through TC doesn't work!
Anyone knows a solution?
Thanks

The blurb about Time Capsule not being compatible with some ISPs is no different from the same blurb that Apple has attached to the specs of all previous Airport base station products. So... if your ISP currently works with an older model Base Station, it will work with Time Capsule. ISPs that typically don't work are ones that use uncommon DSL communications or authentication protocols - often found in parts of Europe and the Middle East.
(Speculation on my part) Time Capsule will not function as a wireless client on an existing wireless network. Therefore, users of an existing wireless network will need to either (a) replace their existing wireless router with Time Capsule or (b) cable Time Capsule to their existing wireless router and disable the router built into Time Capsule. These are exactly the same options faced by previous purchasers of Apple's Airport base stations.

My time capsule will only work with one device at a time
