2TB Time Capsule Setup/Optimizing etc...

I just picked up the 2TB and I have a few questions about it.
I also just recently talked to a buddy of mine that has the 500 or 1TB version of the TC, but it seems that the setup/options are a little different.
For example I would like to just use the TC as N only on the 5Ghz band, but it doesn't allow for me to do that. I can check a box for the 5Ghz but it doesn't specify to use the N band only.
The "transmit rate" is different as well. Now, I can only select low, med or high instead of 6mb, 10mb etc. What is the transmit rate and what can I do to optimize the TC for optimal performance?
I wish I could screen share with someone so I can figure this out. If you want to I'm [email protected] on ichat. Someone please help! Thank you!

Hi William,
Thanks for the response. I did see the 802.11n only (5GHz) - 802.11b/g/n. At first that didn't appear in the drop-down menu. I had to use the Option+click method to pull up the extra options.
Yes, the 5GHz check box is in Wireless Options. After speaking with a friend of mine who has an earlier version of the TC (500GB I think) he said he didn't have the same options as I have. NOW, I have the 5GHz box checked, but I have to go into the AirPort menu in the upper right-hand corner and select the 5GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz band. There's not way to set up a separate password for the different bands. I just want to use the MBP on the 5GHz band N only.
You're right I messed up - it is called "multicast rate". I just have that set to high.
It's bizarre because I get a longer latency rate and usually slower throughput rates as well as compared to my d-link 655 router. I suppose I could use the d-link router as an a/b/g router, but then I can't use N only on the TC. Just odd that Apple got rid of that option to use N only. Maybe I'm just screwing this whole thing up so if you have any ideas please do share! Thanks!

    I am not 100% what isn't allowed.. but I am assuming you want to spread the backup across the two disks.. internal TC and 6TB external.. this is not possible.. It has to be one or the other. TC has no way to build a raid JBOD or anything else. Nor would you want to as that is the most likely to fail and kill your data.
    Let me add, backing up 6TB over USB on TC.. will be the most excruciating experience of your life.. cf child birth or passing kidney stones.. large ones.. being the male equivalent.

  • Can I use my 2TB Time Capsule ONLY as an external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

    Hi...wondering if somebody could help me out there.
    I currently have an older Apple 2TB Time Capsule (previous generation) which I'm using as both my WiFi access point, as well as my Time Machine backup location for both my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    We've been having slow WiFi issues in our home, and seeing as how this Time Capsule is a number of years old, were thinking of upgrading to the faster WiFi routers with 802.11ac capability.  I'll be honest when I say we were considering other options, beyond the newest Time Capsule.
    My question is, can we somehow use the 2TB of storage on our current Time Capsule for the purpose of backing up our computers with Time Machine, but NOT use the WiFi functionality of the Time Capsule itself? 
    I'm assuming if I manually plugged either my iMac or MacBook Pro (wired ethernet) into the Time Capsule, I could likely get that computer to recognize and use it for Time Machine purposes, but I'd like to use it to backup both computers, ideally wirelessly on the MacBook Pro.
    Any help would be great. 
    Right now I'm running a DSL line into a DSL modem, which then runs ethernet into my Time Capsule.  From there, I have a 4 port switch connected for wired devices (we wired our home with ethernet jacks in almost every room).  We also have an Airport Express to extend the range of the network.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    You can bridge the TC and plug it into whatever wireless router you buy.
    There is no need to turn off the wireless in the TC.. but you can set it up as a secondary wireless network. That is totally up to you. I find the Gen4 TC very fast on 5ghz.. but you need it to be close to the computers.. in your case that should be dead easy.. simply plug it in by ethernet in the same room as the iMac say.. and set it up with bridge and the imac plugged into it by ethernet.. one computer then can access the internet and backup via ethernet with huge speed improvements.. the laptop can then use whatever your new router wireless network.. or the TC one if it is close enough..
    So there are plenty of variations and your setup is easy to handle with the large amount of ethernet you have.
    Just post again if you need specifics.. but I need specifics to give them!!

  • 2TB Time Capsule suddenly full after only a few months?

    Hello all,
    Apologies in advance if this is a question that's already been answered.  I've been searching through threads, but didn't seem to see it.
    I have a late 2009 iMac (27 inch, 2.8 GHz i7, 4GB Ram) that had a hard drive affected by the Seagate Recall.  About the same time I was alerted to this, the Firewire drive I'd been using for timemachine backups reached it's capacity.  I figured it was time to get a bigger backup drive and went out and bought a 2TB Time Capsule.  This was on November 5th of 2012.
    After making a bootabe clone of hard drive (just as a 2nd backup) I set up my time capsule.  I did the first backup via ethernet, and then, per posts that I found on the forum,( I set it up so that it was connected to my existing wireless router via ethernet, and let my iMac back up to it wirelessly over the home network.  Once or twice, when I've changed large amounts of data, I've reconnected the iMac to the timecapusle via the ethernet cable and let it backup that way.  But overall, the backups have happened over the air.  My home user folder is aprox 632 GBs.
    I also had tried to set up my macbook (Intel, late 2006) to back up to the same timecapsule, but was having issues and ended up just turning time machine off since I haven't had time to trouble shoot them.  That macbook (which only has 60 gig harddrive on it) has at least one full backup on it's part of the Time Capsule, but not many more.
    So basically my setup looks like this:
    Cable Modem connected to Belkin Wireless Router via Ethernet
    2TB TC connected to Belkin Router via Ethernet in Bridge mode.
    iMac connecting to TC via the wireless network created by router. (with the exception of a few times)
    Today, I was surprised that, only a couple months later, that Time Machine told me that the Time Capsule was full, and that it had deleted older backups to make room.  My earliest back up is now Dec 6th 2012.
    Previously, my 1 TB firewire drive lasted several years before it started having to delete older backups.
    Am I right to think this is out of the ordinary?  And if it isn't, can anyone point me in the right direction to try and figure out why this is ocurring.  I'm not really sure what the first step in trouble shooting the issue would be.
    Thanks so much in advance,
    avi

    Thanks for the quick respons djcastaldo.
    I'm not 100% sure what you mean by a "virtual machine"... but I'm guessthing that means I'm not doing it..
    I do have about 64 gigs in my dropbox folder... but the day to day changes to the files in there are fairly small (mostly updates to word processing files as I move between computers).  I don't think that would be the issue.
    Would the best way to try and find the culrprit file be to just scan through my home folder and look for large files with recent "modified" dates? 
    Thanks so much,

  • Need Help on a Time Capsule setup

    I want to install a new 2TB Airport Time Capsule to replace my older Time Capsule.  I would like to continue to use my original Airport Extreme for my network and have the new Airport Time Capsule serve as an extension of that network. I have referred to the following article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5096 but then started having issues of understanding what needs to be done. 
    While there is obviously wireless capabilities for the new Time Capsule, I was thinking that to initially copy the old Time Machine to the new that I would use an ethernet cable. (The old Time Machine is USB to an external drive).  Once the copy is made I'd like to remove the ethernet and position the new time machine for wireless connectivity.  I'm not sure how to connect everything together.  My modem is connected to my iMac 27 by ethernet (that's faster, right?) and so I don't have any ethernet ports available on the modem. (one is input, one is output to the airport extreme, and one is output to my computer.)
    How do I connect things for the initial copy and then for the wireless in the future?  The set up book talks about Connecting Ethernet cable connected to the cable modem to the Ethernet WAN port.  Then it talks about Ethernet cable from any Ethernet device to any of the Ethernet LAN ports. I don't understand any of that - what I have or what I want. Is there any connection from the 2TB to the iMac?
    Then a window pops up about the 2TB and asks for a password. What's that? Then it asks what is primary (well, I thought I wanted the older Airport Extreme to be dominant and the 2TB to connect as an extender. I don't see that option.)
    Anyway, confused about connectivity.  In the end, I'd like to copy the old Time Machine to the new Time Machine and I think the above article will get me there. But I'm troubled about what wires go where.  Any suggestions? 

    Time Machine is the backup software on your computer.. it has no relationship to any particular hardware.
    Time Capsule is an apple router with a hard disk inside. It is not related in any way to Time Machine.. !!
    BUT it is used mostly as the target for a Time Machine backup.. Apple naming is very messy.
    1. It's the small white device that gives me a wireless service in my house. It has no drive just serves to provide wireless.
    It could be an extreme or express but you state later on it is extreme.
    I was thinking to use the time capsule as my Time Machine drive but use the wireless capability as a network extender of the original AirPort Extreme.
    Generally it would be better to use the TC plugged into the main ISP modem / router. And you can then use the Extreme to extend the network.. it does depend on locations.. you want the least number of wireless hops or the best chance of running ethernet to the clients. Either setup will work but think which is fastest. Whenever a backup has to go.. computer--extreme--TC. with both connections by wireless it will go at half the speed of
    computer--TC.
    And if you can plug the computer--TC by ethernet it will go about 3-6 times the speed of wireless.
    2. I was wondering what is the best way to get the old Time Machine data onto the new 2TB Time Capsule to be used as a Time Machine.
    I recommend you start over with a fresh clean backup. The issue is the local backup and the network backup are handled differently by Time Machine and it is not easy to do what you want.
    See Q18 here if you want to see what is involved.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Specifically this one. http://pondini.org/TM/18.html#id18
    3. Yes.. but think if it isn't better to move the extreme instead.
    4) my modem connects via Ethernet to my desktop because I thought wired was faster than wireless. My modem also connects to the AirPort Extreme to broadcast a wireless network for my iPhone and iPad. I could have my desktop connect wirelessly but just thought wired was faster. OK I see what you say about plugging the desktop in to the wireless router instead.
    This is wrong.. You should have the computer plugged into the airport router.. and the airport router plugged into the modem.. not both connected to the modem. It will do backups much faster with a direct wired connection to the TC.. but not if it goes via a slow (10/100 port) on the router the ISP supplies.
    5. Sparsebundle is how the TM packages the backup on network drives.
    Read the info in Pondini to understand.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Works.html
    In particular the part about network backups.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Works3.html
    So you're saying that the New Time Capsule is receiving the copied file via network? No cables used in the copying to the new Time Capsule/Time Machine?
    Backup runs over either wireless (slow) or ethernet (fast) to network drive.. or you can use a local disk as you have been doing.. and that is the fastest.

  • Which is the best Option for Time Capsule setup.

    Got my 2Tb time capsule today, burning to get home to set the whole system up but I have a few questions i'd like help with befor I jump in...
    Here is my setup.
    1) Cable internet connection running wifi through a Netgear WNR 2000 Which is a Wireless N device..
    2) 2TB Time Capsule just unwrapped.
    3) Macbook Pro
    4) iphone
    5) Hp office laptop running XP Sp 3
    5)Really complicated appartment layout which makes a single Wifi base station battle for coverage in the entire appartment.
    Ok so here is what I was thinking..
    Keep the Netgear as the base station and use the Time Capsule as a Bridge in my office thus extending the range of my existing network..
    1) Will using the TC on a wireless network as a repeater half my connection speed while doubling my coverage?? In that case it might be worth it..
    2) Do I have any reason to believe I could get better coverage using the TC as the Base Station and trying to virtually impossible task of setting up the Netgear as a bridge?
    3) Any ideas on other options open to me?

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    +1) Will using the TC on a wireless network as a repeater half my connection speed while doubling my coverage?? In that case it might be worth it..+
    Unfortunately, the Time Capsule will only "extend" a wireless network if the network has been created by another Apple "n" router. So the Netgear would not be compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
    If you could connect the Netgear and Time Capsule together using an ethernet cable, you would be able to create one large wireless network.
    +2) Do I have any reason to believe I could get better coverage using the TC as the Base Station and trying to virtually impossible task of setting up the Netgear as a bridge?+
    Not sure about "better coverage", but the Time Capsule would create dual band networks operating at both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz so faster devices could connect at 5 GHz for maximum speed and slower devices would connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
    In addition, if the Time Capsule connects directly to your cable modem, you could enable the "guest" network feature if you needed that function. (However, if the Time Capsule is configured in the network as a "bridge", the guest network feature cannot be enabled).
    On a quick glance, your Netgear router does not appear to be a simultaneous dual band device. If that's the case, you could configure it to expand either the 2.4 GHz band or 5 GHz band (assuming it will handle 5 GHz) for wider wireless coverage. But, the connection between devices would need to be via ethernet cable, and as you point out, the Netgear would need to configured as a "bridge" in this type of setup.
    If running the ethernet cable is simply not possible, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. While not as good as a straight ethernet cable, this type of connection would still yield better performance than wireless only, if the devices were compatible.

  • Time Machine Backup Failed even though I still have 1.9TB of a 2TB Time Capsule. I am using Yosemite.

    Time Machine Backup Failed even though I still have 1.9TB of a 2TB Time Capsule. I am using Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac (mid 2010)

    The recent update in Yosemite (10.10.3) is causing some issues for some users.
    Try a complete network power cycle as follows:
    Power off each and every device on your network......modem, Time Capsule, computers, printers, etc......in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Power up the modem and let it run 2-3 minutes
    Then, power up the next device that is connected to the modem an let it run a full minute
    Then, continue to power up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is back up
    Check the network
    Wait for a backup to occur and report on your results

  • 2TB Time Capsule or External Hard Drive for use with Mac MINI and AppleTV

    Hi,
    My current setup is I have a 1TB Hard Drive linked to my intel Mac Mini via FireWire 400, the Mini shares my music and films through iTunes so that my AppleTV can pick them up.
    All devices are connected to an AEBS 802.11n (early model) via Cat6 Gigabit cables.
    As I have run out of space and am looking for a bigger drive, I wanted to know if I would be able to use the 2TB Time Capsule to hold my films and be able to stream them to the Mac Mini so that it may stream them through iTunes to the AppleTV.
    The theory of if should work, as the devices are all Gigabit capable and connected by high quality Cat6 leads their shouldn't be network bandwith issues, I am just unsure of how quickly the TimeCapsule can read stored data from a hard drive and transmit, some of my films are HD and run 4GB plus.
    The obvious answers is just to buy a bigger hard drive with FW400, however I would like to reduce the number of boxes I have under the TV, I plan to upgrade my AEBS to the latest one anyway so just thought it made sense to explore this option.
    looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

    Hello,
    It should work in theory, but the disk access time of the TC is much slower. I was setup like you are with an external drive connected to a Mini via FW and I had true Gigabit transfer between computers.
    When my hard drive failed I sold my Linksys gigabit router and bought a TC to reduce the number of boxes, but I soon learned that the read/write speed on a TC is a little bit faster than on a thumb drive! Not that great. All my machines are also connected with Cat6.
    It's still OK to watch a movie though, but transferring 10+ Gb is a pain.

  • Used time capsule setup

    Friend of mine upgraded to a 2TB time capsule. He gave me his old 500G. I set it up. Erased all of his old data (Hard reset etc.). My old external hard drive icon would always show up under my regular hard drive icon on the desktop. The time capsule does not and does not seem to be backing up at the indicated time in the time machine window. What did I do wrong? Any direction would be helpful. Thanks.

    The Time Capsule should show up under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window when you open Macintosh HD or click on the Finder icon on the dock.
    Is it there?  If not,
    Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus appear at the top of the screen
    Click Finder, then click Preferences
    Click the General tab
    Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to connected servers
    Post back on your progress and we'll get Time Machine set up next.

  • So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule, iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me.

    So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • New 2TB Time Capsule: solid amber light, but TC working well...what's wrong?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me...thanks in advance for reading through this question!
    I have a brand new 2TB Time Capsule, using it with the AT&T U-verse modem/router 3801 HGV.
    After much consternation, I finally got the TC set up in bridge mode with the U-verse router.
    The TV, phone, and internet are all working well through AT&T...and my wireless internet
    connection through the TC is working great as well.  Also, the TC is performing the first
    back up of my MacBook Pro hard drive.  Everything seems to be working great, I think.
    However, I have some questions that I feel need to be addressed:
    1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green.  When I check the connections in the Airport
    Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
    Solid amber indicates that the "Time Capsule is completing its start-up sequence".  I would expect
    the start-up sequence to be completed long ago and the light to be green...and I can't find anything
    wrong.
        Any ideas as to why the light on the TC could be solid amber??
    2- What should I do to get the light to be green??
    3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be.  I have about 190GB of data
    to back up.  I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up.  It looks like the
    speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
    Is that a fairly "normal" speed??  I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
    4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
    the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
    mode.  To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
    tab in the Airport Utility??  The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
    just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
         Does the TC "add" a new wireless network when I add new data in those fields...and SAVE the
    original "home" network I created??  Just making sure!
    Thanks to those who reply!
    Chris

    1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green.  When I check the connections in the Airport Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
    That is weird.. most TC I look at solid AMBER means the hard disk is dead. Not sure but since it is working it is no biggie.. there is some control over how the led functions.. but I doubt you can set the color different.
    In other words.. not a clue.. if the TC is new take it to the genius and show them.. that is not the way it is supposed to work.
    3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be.  I have about 190GB of data
    to back up.  I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up.  It looks like the
    speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
    Is that a fairly "normal" speed??  I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
    Over wireless expect slow.. you did not state wireless or wired.. but those look like reasonable wireless speed. your files will load at different speed.. small files are slow.. larger files much faster.. it takes time to write the tables for many smaller files.
    We always recommend first backup over ethernet.. even if the TC is pulled out of the network.
    4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
    the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
    mode.  To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
    tab in the Airport Utility??  The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
    just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
    Guest network is removed as an option in bridge mode.. just use the uverse modem wireless for guest.

  • Can't connect 2TB Time Capsule to my home network

    I can't seem to get my new 2TB Time Capsule to show up in Airport Utility on my MacBook Pro. I started out trying to connect wirelessly, then with an Ethernet cable directly between the Time Capsule and my MacBook. Still, the new device does not appear in Airport Utility.
    Airport Utility sees a device called "Jeff's iTunes Time Capsule," which I presume refers to my neighbor Jeff's equipment. But then it occurred to me that, if I'm not connected to a wireless network, how can my MacBook "see" my neighbor's stuff? The package did not appear to have been opened, although the power and Ethernet cables were unwrapped when I first took the device out of the box. The status light keeps flashing amber, by the way.
    I clicked on this "Jeff's iTunes Time Capsule" just to see what would happen. I was prompted for a password, which of course I don't have. Any thoughts?

    Thanks, James. Turns out, I was right: Someone (Jeff?) had bought this machine, installed it, and returned it to the store. It was my dumb luck to choose this item from the many others sitting on the store shelf. Anyway, I called Apple Support. A tech named Joy walked me through a factory reset to get rid of the mysterious Jeff. Then I saw the dreaded message, "Hard drive needs repair." Apple then sent me a new TC. They shipped it out late Friday, and it arrived Monday! (I'm impressed!) I installed it and returned the defective machine. Now, my network works better than ever, and I really like my Time Machine. I give a special two thumbs up to Apple support and Joy!

  • 2TB Time Capsule and Time Machine on Snow Leopard 10.6.1 slooooooow

    I have a 2TB Time Capsule on a 100Mps LAN that is shared by my Mac Pro and an iMac G5. No USB devices are connected to the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule and both computers are connected to the LAN through a LinkSys 8-port Cable/Router/DHCP.
    While in Time Machine (about 30 backup folders) looking for a file to restore, it takes 2-5 minutes for Time Machine to change between backups. The time line on the right responds extremely slowly.
    Whether or not the iMac is backing up has no effect.
    Is this normal?

    iLife is preinstalled on all the Macs. If you purchased iLife in the App Store or your computer came without DVDs, open App Store > Purchases and download the applications. If your Mac came with discs, insert the Applications DVD and install iLife applications

  • Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

    Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
    I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
    Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?
