    How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

    Yes, if you use an application like Genie Timeline Pro, which was designed for this type of purpose.  Genie Timeline will make a complete copy of your Dell on the first backup. After that, it will only backup the changes that have occurred since the last backup.

  • After receiving "identical" Time Capsule 3rd gen replacement, my iMac no longer sees my HP LaserJet2420 that my previous Time Capsule enabled seeing

    I no longer remember how my USB-connected HP laser printer was seen with my iMac connected through Time Capsule.  Oddly enough, my iMac also no longer sees the printer when connected directly to iMac.  What the heck happened?  They used to work fine together!

    A printer that is directly connected has to be recognised to be installed..
    I guess the first thing to do is open system profiler and check that the USB is recognising the printer.. If so then the issue is purely drivers.. if not it is bad usb cable.. bad usb port.. bad printer. Plug it into the computer via a powered usb hub.
    If the USB does see the printer but the drivers don't work.. I stand by the comment.. delete all printers and start again.. multiple printers can mess things up equally as well as old drivers.. especially if you did an upgrade install.
    What a shame you didn't buy the network version.. in the future.. never buy usb.. always buy network printers. Any printer called a workgroup printer without network is a contradiction in terms.
    Once you get it working on the computer then you need to start all over again to get it running on the TC again.. man ethernet or wireless printer looks better and better all the time. usb .. shudder.

  • I have "migrated" my Time Capsule files to my new iMac and most of the files to me "I don't have permission to view files" I am they admin....will I thought I was. What gives?

    You should be able to change the permissions on the files.. this is yet another bungle by Mavericks I suspect.

    Sometimes it is because you Migrated wrongly.

    It is not up to Mavericks because sadly the guy who wrote all this great info died recently.

  • Have 2009 time capsule  with 6 month old iMac  very slow cox said i needed to replace with a new time machine with newer wifi ??

    have 2009 time capsule with 6 month old iMac  very slow  ...cox said to replace with new router or extreme with new wifi ???? confused

    Replace the Time Capsule with a new one or replace your router with an Airport Extreme Base Station that has faster Wi-Fi. Or you could just connect your old Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection from the Time Capsule to the computer's Ethernet port.

  • Can I use a Time Capsule on a hard wired iMac and get wireless to other devices?

    I have a 6 year old iMac that does not have an airport extreme card.  I have it connected to a cable modem ARRIS model TM502G which is also the VOIP for my telephone.  My question is, if I buy a Time Capsule, will I be able to have wi-fi for other devices like an iPad or iPhone even though my computer is not wi-fi?  If so, can you describe the order in which to hook up the Time Capsule to the existing modem and computer.  Thanks so much.

    That is not the correct approach.. but you can do what you want.
    Plug the TC into the cable modem.. Turn both off and restart the modem and the TC.. if there is a battery backup in the modem you may need to disconnect the coax cable in the back of the unit or drop the battery out.
    Plug ethernet from the old mac into the TC.. use the wifi for the other devices.
    Trying to route through the mac will be a pain.
    A TC is not necessary for this.. if you don't want a backup disk.. you can use AEBS or any wireless router.

  • HT1175 3TB time capsule not working with new iMac

    I have a 3TB time capsule that's c. 2 years old. It worked perfectly with my old iMac. I bought a new 27" one when it came out this year and since the time capsule will not work.
    I had to clear all the data as a starter. Now it gets a little into the backup taking c. 1 day then resets. It's connected via ethernet cable and has been told to join an existing network.
    Currently it says it's backing up 922,498 items, after 2 hours (this is the third attempt, it resets then has no record of the old backup) it says 10kb of 789.44 GB - About 4,664,440 days remaining!!
    To clarify I'm trying to use Time Machine with the Time Capsule.
    Please help!!

    You have made a mistake in the setup.
    You do not "Join an existing networking" and use ethernet.. they are mutually exclusive.
    What you are doing is backing up over double hop wireless which is slowing to a crawl.
    You need to put the TC into bridge mode.. and plug it into the main router by ethernet. Then use wiretess to the TC if you are too far away or ethernet if you are close by..
    As soon as you put the TC into join a wireless network it deactivates the ethernet.

  • Wireless comm problem with time capsule or airport extreme using iMac G5

    I did buy a Time Capsule and an iMac 20" G5 January 2009...Installed all the components and created a wireless network...MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch connected perfectly...iMac connected but started to drop communications with Time Capsule...Safari, iTunes and other internet-access programs had problems to connect 100% with the web...After reviewing all the post here and "testing/trying" several parameters, I found out that you need to define a WPA/WPA2 password protection with more than 13 characters...FYI, Time capsule is configured using 802.11n (b/g compatible)...

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • Time capsule not backing up my iMac

    Apple replaced my Time capsule with a new one. Old one backed up 2 x macbooks and my iMac. The new one, whilst backed up the two mac books as before, tells me on my iMac that: Time Machine could not complete back up becuase there is a problem with my username or password. I put in the password - same as used on the macbooks, it accepts it, but then tells me the back up has failed again. Round and round we go. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

  • Time Capsule setup with 2 machines: iMac and Windows XP

    Long time reader, first-time poster.
    OK, so I just got my new 1TB Time Capsule, set it up and am ready to start designing my backup strategy for home. I'd like to do a few things, and looking for some advice:
    1. I am currently using Time Machine to backup my iMac to an external 250MB drive. I want to switch over my Time Machine backups to the new Time Capsule (which I think I can handle), but then I want to format my other external drive and move my video files over to it to free up disk space on my iMac. Once I do that, how do I tell Time Machine to look for that external 250MB drive as well so that it backs up my video files? I see how to exclude files from the Time Machine backup process, but I'm not sure how to explicitly tell Time Machine to back up other drives outside the main HD.
    2. I also use a Windows XP machine for work and would like to configure Time Machine to look for that machine when I'm connected at home and back up certain files on the Time Capsule. Will it do this...or do I need to login to the Time Capsule from the Windows machine and do this manually over the network share (or use SyncToy or something). If this is the case, am I better off "partitioning" the Time Capsule drive so that Time Machine can use, let's say 750MB of the space and I keep 250MB in reserve for the WIndows Machine?
    I haven't seen any postings like this in this forum, my apologies if someone else has already answered this...hope it makes sense.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  • I want to use my time capsule connected directly to my imac.

    I already have a wireless router that I use with my iMac and other devices. I have a Timecapsule that I bought to use as a backup device and as a wireless router, but it won't keep a connection. How do I use the Time Capsule  with Time Machine as "just" an external hard drive without it interfering with my current wireless network?

    Much depends on the version of the utility you use.. but you are correct that the main documentation is well out of date.
    Most of these things are supposed to happen without your needing to know anything.. ie the apple utility has a built in setup wizard is is supposed to get it right 100% of the time..
    Not surprisingly this doesn't actually work more than about 66% of the time and even then can still prefer the wrong setup over the right one.
    So click on edit.. and go into the manual setup.
    Go to the Internet tab and choose dhcp.
    Go to the Network tab and choose off (bridge mode).
    Go to the wireless tab and choose whatever you want.

  • Time Capsule not visible to my iMac (Yosemite 10.10)

    Having given up on trying to access my TC via a BT HomeHub4 router, I've plugged it in via Ethernet to my iMac.  No other devices on the iMac.  iMac is connecting fine to internet via the HH4.  Despite this, I still can't access the TC.  Here's what I've tried:
    TC is flashing amber status.
    Open the Time Machine tab in System Preferences.  Made sure it is set to 'On'. Pressed 'Select Backup Disk'. Get a 'Other AirPort Time Capsule' icon, which I select.
    Click 'Setup".
    New window with a globe icon for the internet with a green status light.  Top left there is an 'Other Wifi Devices (1)' button, which I press - no other option.
    This gives me a new list, the only not-greyed out option is my TC (I know it's mine because the name is right).
    Select it and get a 'Gathering Information about your network' message, icon for the TC and a spinning wheel saying 'joining Airport TC....'.
    Eventually it gives up and shows an error message 'An unexpected error occurred.  Try again.'
    Trying again doesn't help.
    I've reset the TC with a biro - pressing for one second, pressing for 5 seconds (for a fast flashing amber) and pressing while powering the TC on. 
    None of the above works.
    Any ideas?  I don't know if it is connected to Yosemite?

    I do not have yosemite installed on any computer.. I am getting old you see and spent my youth on the bleeding edge.. so that I have now too little blood left for installing latest greatest OS until you beta testers are finished.
    So here are the lessons from Mavericks.. and all the ones that go before.. Take it if you wish.
    Do the setup in full internet isolation.. turn off wireless and use only ethernet to the TC LAN port.
    1. Factory reset the TC. (Again).
    2. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the ethernet settings on the computer.. I am guessing this option is still available.
    Note that the IP addresses must all be as shown.. The TC reset is 10.0.1.1 and the computer should be 10.0.1.2 although that is not a major one.. but if you use dhcp that should be correct.
    3. Open the airport utility and do a manual setup.
    Again I am making assumptions that the airport is there. And these options but I doubt it will have changed much.
    4. Type in the IP address and proceed.. password should not be needed but is public.
    5. Should now get the full summary page.. and you can do a full clean setup without the wizard bothering you.
    Go to the base station tab and name it.. TCgen4 (for example) all names should be short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Go to the wireless and create a wireless network.. eg TCwifi
    Set security to WPA2 personal with all alphanumeric password..
    Go to network tab and make sure it is set to bridge.
    Now update the TC.
    Plug it into the HH by ethernet to its WAN port.
    5. In finder use top menu, go, connect to server and force it to AFP.
    AFP://TCgen4.local (or use whatever name you have in place of my suggestion).
    You should be asked for a password.. we did not change it so it is still public. For now stick to default.
    Does it mount?
    Do any of the functions i have listed no longer exist in Yosemite?
    I hope that all the pictures display as we have issues with apple site dropping the pictures out.. tell me if you cannot see them.

  • Canon printer into Time Capsule - works with macbook not imac - why?

    Hi all,
    This has been up in the iMac section for a couple of days and no one has replied. I thought I'd post it in here as people with TC's may have come across this and know how to fix it. I originally thought it was an iMac fault - perhaps it still is! Anyway I hope I've not broken any rules by posting it in here, when its already else where, if so apologies in advance.
    I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro (3 weeks old). I also have a time capsule and have plugged my Canon iP4500 into the USB port on the TC. I had, before getting the macbook, the printer printing wirelessly, with all the functionality that it should have using the airport on my iMac and the TC. Then after an upgrade of OS X, it suddenly stopped working wirelessly. I can not get it to work, no matter what I try - I've reset the printer settings in system prefs, reinstalled the drivers from the Canon web site, re-setting the TC - nothing works.
    However it does work from my MacBook Pro! It has the same OS X version, the same printer drivers downloaded from the same site.
    Obviously I'd like both computers to be able to print wirelessly - not sure what's going on with the iMac.
    All help is very very appreciated.

    I thought I'd search the hard disk and remove all files, drivers et al that I could find relating to the printer. Then reinstalled the up to date driver from the Canon website. (If I knew how / if it possible to post a screen grab of the printer window I would - so I've made a new page on my website - you can see screen grabs at: http://web.me.com/timhydes/Site/CanoniP4500_printerissues.html ).
    This time the printer window pops us as per usual, then in the top half section where it shows the icon, the name of the file it should be printing, but underneath it says "No pages found!", in the status table in the bottom half it says "Printing" (see screen grab 1). If I leave it for a while, it changes the top half to "Printer Ready" and the status menu says "Stopped" (see screen grab 3).
    If I click on hold, then resume I get a new window which says: "Operation Count not be completed" "client-error-not-possible" (see screen grab 2).
    I've checked that there is printer ink, paper et al, and it still prints from my MacBook.
    I wondered it this may shed some light on the issue from those more knowledgeable than my self.
    Many Thanks
    Tim

  • My Time Capsule disk shows on my iMac but not my MacBook Pro. How do I get the Airport Extreme mounted disk to show as an available Time Machine disk on my MacBook?

    I just replaced an Airport Express with a new Airport Extreme. My iMac recognizes the external hard disk I have connected to the Airport Extreme, and my Time Machine is backing up to it. But I can't get my MacBook Pro to recognize the disk as available for Time Machine. Both are running Mavericks, and the MacBook is only a couple of months old.
