Access hard disk in time capsule from Windows XP installed in VMware Fusion

Hello.
I have installed VMware Fusion 3.0.2 on my iMac (Mac OS X Version 10.6.3) , and then have installed Windows XP on the Fusion.
Now, I can not access the hard disk in the Time Capsule from Windows XP.
Does anyone have an idea to overcome this problem?
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Hoss

    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.

  • Can i access my data on time capsule from some other network

    can i access my data on time capsule from some other network that is my data at home from office over internet

    There is plenty of info out there if you google..
    Here is a summary I just put into another thread.
    Remote access has been added back into iCloud that was in MobileMe..
    Read the info on setting it up from cloud service.. BTMM.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    If you want to do it without the cloud service, you have one major issue.. the public IP for WAN..
    The internal IP of the TC.. which will default to 10.0.1.1 btw.. is irrelevant. It is the IP of the WAN which you use to access the TC over the internet. And here you have a problem.. the TC does not include dyndns service. So unless you have a static IP address from your ISP, this will cause you grief.
    (If it is offered by your ISP.. get a static IP.. that eliminates all the issues.. and is far superior. Even dyndns service has issues if your public IP rotates too often. It is generally an extra cost item and requires a business account but some ISP offer it cheap or even free.. I joined an ISP that offered static ip for free because it gives me the ability to remote access my network without all the hassles you will see below.)
    There are ways around it.. setting up your own domain for instance.
    http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/
    But it is easier to simply use a different router.. almost all of them have dyndns service available.. place the TC behind the router in bridge and forward port 548 TCP to it.
    This is a bit old but still relevant.
    http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
    Note .. there is no ftp, http, ssh (there is actually but it isn't accessible), or any other service to allow connection other than AFP.. so you must use a Mac in remote location to access the TC.
    The setup for the two methods is slightly different in the TC.. in the first instance, you need to turn on WAN access via disk sharing page in the manual setup.
    In the second case you do not need this.
    Remember security and put strong passwords on the disk. There are still security questions about this.
    If security is important.. there is a third and better (IMO) method and that is vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router as TC also missed out on that.. establish a vpn with the main router and that will allow you access to your network.. you will also then be able to use SMB remotely not just AFP.
    Also if this office is a large company they should be running a firewall, which would block your access to home. You should check your IT admin people for what is allowed.. generally the only acceptable method is vpn otherwise you can drag viruses and trojans right into the network without the firewall catching them.

  • Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??

    Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??

    The USB drive must be formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or if you want to use both Mac and Windows files, the drive can be formatted in FAT32.
    A number of drives are formatted for Windows only in a format called NTFS. This willl not work on the Time Capsule.
    In addition, the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You almost always have to use a powered USB hub when you connect a drive to the Time Capsule...even if the drive has its own power supply.

  • HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    I can read your question a number of ways.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
    You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
    You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
    Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
    You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
    Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
    You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

  • How do you access files on your time capsule from your mac?

    how do you access files on your time capsule from your mac?

    i had an old macbook pro that i had all the pictures on and i backed it up to my time capsule through time machine. i got a new macbook pro retina display recently and im wanting to see if i can get some of the pictures off of my time capsule now but i dont want all of them.

  • Can't connect to Time Capsule from Windows

    I have a time capsule that I have set up at work which works great with my laptop (MacBook Pro) at work. However, when I try to map the Time Capsule from home (Windows 7, not the same subnet), I cannot do so.
    I have been able to ping it, as well as access the Time Capsule configuration page through the AirPort Utility that I have installed on my Windows machine at home (I do so by going to File...>Configure Other... and then log on). So I can communicate with it but I can't map it using the Windows "Map Network Drive" command.
    Any thoughts?

    I figured it out. I had to change the Time Capsule to only allow File Sharing with Accounts. Then, using the "Map Network Drive" and \\ipaddressaccountname and - viola!

  • How do i access an external hard drive through time capsule from my macbook

    I've just bought a 2GB Time Capsule but I can't see my external hard drive plugged in to the Time Capsule's USB in Finder from my Macbook.
    When I plug the hard drive in to the Macbook the drive appears on the desktop. HDD was originally set up for a windows machine, I've read some other posts that say the Time Capsule won't back up the drive unless it's Mac Formatted... does the same apply if you are just trying to access it and copy files etc?
    I'm connected wirelessly through the Time Capsule.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Niel
    ... so if I have a correctly formatted HDD, I presume I can just see the HDD in Finder under 'Data' in Time Capsule?
    I might just transfer the files I need from my HDD connected to my Macbook on to the TimeCapsule over the wifi and sort the formatting issue later.

  • How to back up a external hard disk to time capsule?

    I have a external hard disk (WD passport Mac OS extended format)  connected to iMAC (OS X 10.9.3) through USB. How can I back up the hard disk to my time capsule (802.11ac 2TB)?

    By default, the name of the hard drive will appear on the list of Excluded items when you open System Preferences / Time Machine  / Options.
    Click on the name of the hard drive to highlight it, and then click on the - (minus) button at the bottom of the Exclusions list to remove the drive from the list of items that are Excluded on backups.
    Time Machine will back up both your Mac and the hard drive on the next pass.

  • Using JUST Wireless Hard Disk on Time Capsule

    Hi - I work for a charity which is Africa based. We have two users both in the same office in a remote part of Kenya (using new MacBook PRO's) who would like a wireless backup solution and possibly some wireless hard disk file sharing. They can ONLY access the internet via mobile phone dongles as there are no fixed telephone lines offering broadband service in the remote area in which they live.
    As they are fully Mac based and on new MacBook Pro's, I have looked at getting them an Apple Time Capsule for this purpose. I have a few questions with regard to using a Time Capsule, which I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with:
    1. Can I use the Time Capsule for wireless Time Machine backups ONLY? - and not use the Router functionality of the box as they have their USB dongles and there are no broadband lines.
    2. Can I partition the Time Capsule box for use with Time Machine AND also as a Wireless Hard Disk - or do I have to keep the Time Capsule HD for Time Machine only and add a USB HD to the Time Capsule for general file sharing?
    I hope these two questions make sense....

    Bill90210, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You can use a USB hub to connect both the hard drive and printer to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Connecting a hard drive to the AEBS used as an extender would be no different than connecting the hard drive to the original AEBS.

  • Accessing the new ac Time Capsule from Internet

    I have set up my Time Capsule so that I can access it from outside. However, I can only access the time capsule disk if I use cmd-K and enter the IP directly, if I click on the Time Capsule icon on finder's sidebar, I get an error saying something like the device is unavailable. I get the same error if I try to use the Airport Utility remotely.
    Any idea?
    Cheers
    Kenneth

    do you have the BTMM and iCloud ID setup in the TC?
    Is the TC operating in bridge or main router?
    People seem to have issues with bridge... although it doesnt  say in the instructions that it is required to be main router.
    There is a fairly long thread here of issues with BTMM and iCloud ..with the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
    There are plenty more.
    As you can see it is not at all easy.

  • Cannot Access Airport Disk on Time Capsule(Error Message 67)

    Hi I'm having a few issues connecting to the Airport disk on my Time Capsule.
    Every time I start my computer The Airport Base Station Agent says:"The Airport Disk "Nasim's Time Capsule" became available. What do you want to do? And I click "Connect with Password" I enter the correct password and I receive a message that says: "Unknown user,incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator (67)."
    Is this possible to fix?(I have reset it about 4 times, each time after I have set it up I try to connect ends up wit the same message)

    Welcome to the discussions!
    There are 2 passwords for the Time Capsule
    One is a device password, which allows access to the TC. The other password is for your wireless network.
    Might you be confusing these two? If you have not setup a device password, I believe that the default is "public".
    Post back if you need more info.

  • Accessing iTunes media on Time Capsule from iPhone and iPad

    Hello!
    I keep my iTunes media files on a Time Capsule and access them on my MacBook Air, having changed the location of the media files in iTunes Preferences. This works fine.
    Can I do the same sort of thing on my iPad and iPhone? I know I can use "home sharing" via my MacBook, if I am having to use that, I may as well play the media on my MacBook anyway. I would like to be able to do it directly, without another computer being involved.
    I have tried apps like Buzz player, which is tedious in the extreme, and plays vidoes jerkily, if at all. I want to be able to connect iTunes directly to the media on the Time Capsule, if you see what I mean.
    And if not, why not, Apple?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Google finds many articles on how to move your iTunes to an external hard drive.
    Here's the first hit in the list:

  • Can I migrate physical hard disks in storage space from Windows 2012 R2 to Windows 2012?

    Hi,
         We have a Windows 2012 R2 server.  It's running storage space with 10 hard disk in Parity mode.  We would like to move the hard disks from Windows 2012 R2 server to Windows 2012, so that we can "free" our windows
    2012 R2 server to do something else.   Can we just unplug the hard disks in Windows 2012 R2 and hook it to Windows 2012 server without any data lose?  If we can do it, what's best "formal" procedures to do it?
    Thanks,
    Tak

    Hi Tak,
    Storage space will be recognized in different servers (and even clients) which support.
    If it is just a "Parity mode", you can turn off the computer, unplug and connect these disks to the new server directly. 
    If any Windows Server 2012 R2 new feature is involved, it may not work in Windows Server 2012 but it should not damage your data and you can still connect these hard disks back to original server.
    However, backup important files is always recommended.

  • Split screen software of LG ultra wide monitor won't start with windows 7 installed with VMWare Fusion

    I am using split screen sofware of LG but it is not working for me with vmware fusion 7. Is this a known problem? I am using an ultra wide monitor of LG (29um65), and installed windows 7 on my mac, by using VMware Fusion. But the software won't work of LG. It won't start. LG can't help me, because normally the software is working by using windows 7 on a windows pc. I got it also working on a  mac , when I used other virtual software as Virtualbox VM, but it seems not to work with vmware fusion 7. Can somebody help me with this problem?

    yes, I think you are right, but I used virtual box in the past, and had no problem with the LG software, so it has also to do wit VMWare Fusion I think.
    Never the less we still don't have a solution :-)
