  • How to use my time capsule with windows vista

    i have a 2tb time capsule iphone 3gs appple tv and a ipad 2 the wife and kids have iphone 3gs and 4 and id like to set up a home network for us all to use and share music and photos is this possible

    Sorry the title never gets into detail at any point.. no vista computer is listed.
    Access the vista computer to TC turn on the guest network and allow full read write access. Make sure you have the workgroup set correctly. There are issues sometimes on the windows side but try that.
    As for using the TC as a file store.. well it isn't a good idea. It is a backup device.. which has no ability to back up itself. There is no mirrored disks and one day it will die and you can say bye bye to your precious photos and music. You can work your way around the issue.. sure.. in the end you will need an alternative backup on a computer.. that alternative backup will then be backed up to where??
    If you must run your itunes and iphoto library on the TC just read about how to set up the libraries in network location. Google will find the posts.

    You perhaps should read all the other posts about why not.. as well as how to.

  • Cant log in to time capsule with windows vista computer

    When i try to log in to the time capsule I keep getting an error message that wont let me log in. I turned the firewalls off and it still doesnt let me. Any help??

    Hello lascall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    See if the following resolves your Vista access issue with the Time Capsule:
    o From the Vista desktop, click Start
    o Search for: security
    o Click 'Local Security Policy'
    o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    o Click OK

  • Using Time Capsule with Windows Vista

    I updated my TC, and it is working well with the internet as a router. However, I am having problems finding the TC as a hard drive on my computer. I did not have this problem before the update, and please no harassment about using Microsoft.
    Any help here?

    Yep, this seems to be a common problem from what I have seen on the forums and from my own personal experience.. it works fine on my mac, but my girlfriend can no longer access the files from her windows PC. I had to downgrade back to 7.3.2.. Hopefully this is fixed soon.

  • Problems accessing Time Capsule on windows Vista

    I have an iMac running Leopard and a laptop running Vista Home Edition. I'm having some problems accessing Time Capsule from the Vista machine. everytime I click to access the drive, a message appears in the menu bar of the window that says (not responding). I've tried leaving it. I've even changed my entire wireless network to bypass the original g router (belkin) to use TC, so I now have TC as my router, Belkin just setup as a wired broadband modem but I still get the same problem. The mac seems fine, although I have had quite a few issues with drop outs.
    both machines have the latest version of Airport Utility and Bonjour.
    The laptop is a recent purchase to replace a dead XP machine, this worked fine and I managed to get stuff backed up just before it died, thankgod.
    Any help appreciated.

    No problem seeing Time Capsule with iMac, Dell desktop XP Home, Dell notebook XP Pro, and Fusion with XP Pro. All installed according to the installation guide. Installed AirPort Utility on all machines and updated firmware to 7.3.1. To see the other machines, make sure file sharing is on. Firewall on the PCs may need to be turned off. The printer plugged into the USB port also worked with all the XP systems and the iMac with a few missing features on iMac (I am assuming different driver issues). BTW, logging onto the created network and accessing the Time Capsule HD are separate. If you've entered different passwords for the HD and wireless networking when setting up Time Capsule initially (which I did through the iMac first), you'll need to enter them separately with the XP machines. You could also try resetting Time Capsule. Seems to work for others.

  • Time capsule with Windows 7

    Hello,
    I have a Time capsule, with one Tbyte disc, connected by ethernet cable to a Windows 7 computer. I cannot open the disc. It says "Disc not accessible, access denied".
    It works perfectly with another computer under Windows XP.
    Does somebody have an idea?

    Thank you for help

  • How do i set up my time capsule with windows

    How do I set up my airport time capsule using Windows 7 home premium?

    If you have the newest AC model TC.. you might be in trouble. Apple specifically state you need v6 airport utility. They do not provide v6 with windows.. only Mac and iOS. If you happen to have iphone, ipad even itouch, you can download and install the airport utility and use that.. you just cannot do the setup from windows.

  • Use Time Capsule with Windows-based Computers and PowerLan Devices

    Hi All -
    I would like to inquire whether I can:
    1) use a Windows-based conputer to access the internal hard disk of Time Capsule; and
    2) connect the Time Capsule with prower lan devices (e.g. Aztech) to extend the wirless coverage.
    Thank you.
    Gary

    Yes.. but.. Long term storage of info is not really wise where you have no backup. TC is not able to back itself up and you will have issues finding anything but manually doing it from windows.
    What windows version?
    Have you installed the airport utility? That makes life much easier, as it adds bonjour for windows and a disk access agent.
    Simply installing the utility may be enough. If not open windows explorer and type the name or IP directly into the address bar.
    Note.. you should use all names on the TC that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where you obviously change to real name (no spaces of course) or IP)
    If you still have issues.. check that you can ping the TC.. and make sure firewalls are not blocking it and your PC is located HOME, not WORK or PUBLIC.

  • Time Capsule and Windows Vista network

    Hi everyone,
    Just looking for some advice/feedback.
    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and love it. Now considering buying a Time Capsule - 3 reasons - extra storage space, allow printing from all computers, and ease of backup with Time Machine.
    I currently have a DLink wireless modem/router that is wired to a Windows Vista PC, a windows laptop and the new Mac.
    My question is: How will the Time Capsule fit in with everything? I am guessing that the DLink will remain wired to the PC, and the Time Capsule will be plugged into the DLink. Will I gain extra speed with the Time Capsule and how do I allow it to take over the wireless network?
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    "When I try
    to connect it sees the new network I set up,
    but won't connect to the internet."
    Are you saying that the Vista PC will connect to the wireless network, but can't get an internet connection, or it can see the wireless network, but can't connect?
    If it cannot connect to the wireless network, is there an error message displayed? If so, what does the message say?

  • Time Capsule and Windows Vista

    Hi there i have a Macbook Pro and my flat mate has windows vista on his note book.
    So i am thinking of getting Time capsule 500gb to back up my Mac pro and use it for the internet (going to replace my old wireless modem with time capsule) and my flat mate just wants to connect to the internet thats all no backing up files or anything like that.
    Will it be easy to set up his vista to connect to the internet? does he need apple software or anything like that?
    And will he get the same internet speeds as before?
    Sorry i am new to Time Capsule don't know much about it just don't want to wast money
    Thanks for your help

    Yes, it should all work fine and connecting to the Time Capsule will be just like connecting to any other wireless router. There is no additional applications needed.

  • How do I restore a backup from Time Capsule on Windows Vista?

    I have had to restore My Windows Vista PC to original and need to also restore by backup that was made to time Capsule.  I can see the daily backups when browsing through the TC via Windows Backup/Restore, but it tells me there are no valid backup files.  Any Ideas?

    That is purely a windows issue.. the TC is a storage device.. nothing more.. if you can see the files, then the problem is windows cannot find the main or initial backup. Check with Microsoft.. or windows forums.

  • How can I see my network drive from time capsule on windows vista pc?

    I connected my Time Capsule 2tb to Windows PC and do not see the Network Drive for TC. I can see TC on my wireless MacProBook, but cannot see TC drive on the pc. What can I do on the PC to find Time Capsule's drive?
    Thank you.

    From the Mac as it is easier to use.. open airport utilty and go to the  disks, file sharing page. turn on the guest account.. give read write  access.. and make sure the TC is in the correct workgroup or type in the  work group name.. update the TC.
    In vista.. Open windows explorer.. in the address bar type \\ip\
    IP meaning the IP of the TC. . wait.. waiting wait.. windows scratches its bum.. thinks some more.. will finally kick up a username and password request.. type in whatever you need. Voila.. TC appears.

  • Time Capsule With Windows 7 Please Help Going Round in Circles!

    Hi
    have just got a 1Tb time capsule for Xmas. I have a 13" Macbook unibody and have installed the time machine and airport utility through this, thinking apple computer + apple time capsule will be easier. All went well and the Macbook sees the Drive and has backed itself up nicely. So very pleased.
    Then the problem i have a windows 7 machine and went off and installed the airport utility on the machine. All went fine, but i cant see the HDD, i can see it in network places but all i can do is read it, i can't write to it from my windows machine. Have looked at loads of posts about mapping drives making sure latest firmware (7.5) etc but am totally lost as i read so many different things that i just ended up going round in circles!
    What i wanted to do was put all my media, documents and pics on the TC and allow both machines to share from it and use it. But no matter what i try it seems i can only write to it from the mac. I have seen in the airport utility on the windows machine under disks (after selecting manual setup)> file sharing that the secure shared disks is set to "with device password", now i have the passwords, i just cant seem to see where i can see that drive in windows and where to enter the password!!! Should that be set to something else? File sharing is enabled.I assumed once i had installed the airport utility on the windows machine the HDD would just pop up in my computer or something like it popped up easily on the mac! Or am i being stupid and it doesnt work like that?
    The windows machine is connected via ethernet and the mac is wireless.
    Please can someone help as its driving me mad and i just cant seem to figure it out. Am not that computer savvy when it comes to things like this and am probably missing something really stupid but you know what its like when you have stared at something for hours. Any help would be most appreciated or SIMPLE guide or something
    Many thanks in advance and happy Xmas to you all

    Just an update to the above i can now no longer see the time capsule in network places!! All i have done is retstarted!!! I can still see the time capsule from my mac and access it!!!

  • Using the harddisk on Time-Capsule with Windows

    I would like to connect the harddisk in my Time-Capsule on a Windows-XP PC.
    The drive has its file-sharing with a disk-password. With my iMac I can use the drive normaly.
    But even the Domain is set to Workgroup, like all Window-machines, I can't see nor connect from my Windows-XP PC to this drive.
    The windows-machine has a correct network-connection (I see all my Macs and other Windows-machines).
    So, why is the harddisk from the time-capsule not recognized by the Windows-PC's?
    Thanks.
    Erich

    your network componets config could be blocking the settings needed to make this work transparently. there are things like firewall settings that change the transparency of a network.
    reguardless of the settings, you should be able to use explorer, tools tab, map network driver tab and either browse til you find your time capsule drive or you can type in the time capsule location in the folder box such as \\x.x.x.x\sharename where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your time capsule unit and sharename is the name of the timecapsule drive share.
    you can also go to a dos box in windows via the start, run and type cmd in the dialogue box. once you get a dos box, enter net use y: \\x.x.x.x\sharename where y: is the drive letter you will be assigning, x.x.x.x is the TC IP address, and sharename is the TC share name. you will be promted for a user ID and pass word. if you setup your TC to allow guest full access then the user ID is guest and the password is the TC unit password. Once you get this working....you can change from guest access to a named userid and password access.
    hope this helps
