Access point in time capsule

How can I connect an access point tplink 901 to my time capsule?

Did you download and use the instructions for universal repeater.. ??
TL-WA901ND
Is that the model.. ???
Did you set the TC to SMB compatible name.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.. not apple type name with spaces and worse even, apostrophe.

Accessing data in time capsule

Can I access data from time capsule wirelessly using a smart tv or blu ray player? If not, can I access it with ethernet connection?

No and No.
There are rare exceptions but mostly SMART TV isn't that smart.. it needs DLNA in the network device to find files.. TC of course supports no media extensions at all.. nothing.. zippo.. el zero or as you say.. null.
You need a player that can access raw files.. eg WD live TV can do it.. because it is a real Media Player. Not a streamer.

HT1766 How can I use my iPad,iPad Mini,iPhone to connect and access my Apple Time Capsule?

I have Apple Devices in my household and can only access my Apple Time Capsule from my MB Pro.
None of the others can. And as my family have more than the limit of Five Apple devices, is there some way Apple will allow us to connect to the family iTunes Account.
It seems to me that Apple are behind the way families and their products are used in an "Apple Family" household.
We are not a happy family at the moment !

Your statement is a bit confusing. Up to 10 devices can be associated with one Apple ID and no more than 5 can be computers, so Where you are getting the 5 device limit may be a misunderstanding about only 5 can be computers. So you can all connect to the family iTunes account.
As far as connecting to the TC, there is an app for that.

Remote Access (internet) to Time Capsule Issue

Hi and tnxs for reading,
after having tried a lot of suggestions on the internet about how to make TC file sharing working remotely, I am writing here because I am still looking for a solution!!
I have my TC bridged via ethernet to my DSL router (given from my internet provider).
I am using for all my devices TC WiFi, for local network and internet.
I activated Back to my mac on TC and to my Mac.
I can see my TC files when connected on my local WiFi, however, if I connect to the internet through another network, although I can see my Time Capsule on the left column of my finder, if I click on it, the connection fails.
Maybe it notoworthy to say that on System Preferences, iCloud, back to My Mac, I have a note saying that in order to improve the network, i should use use port mapping or upnp. Now, I cannot activate upnp on my router, but I can do port mapping, as i am doing for video surveillance stuff or similar things. However, I have tried to open ports suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4907 but nothing at all...
Please, help!!!
PS: I would like to remotely connect to my airport devices through Airport Utility but it is not working aswell, and I think it is due to the same issue.
I'd really appreciate to be helped in this issue.

Sorry with time differences this is going to take a while.
I am going to need to work through some of the scenario myself.. my main concern is that BTMM may simply not work with the TC in bridge.
When people run into trouble.. eg here. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
Alot of the problems come from the TC being in bridge. If you cannot get the TC to be the main router.. due to the kind of setup you have, then direct access method to the TC is the only way to do it.
5) The main thing I'd like to do is to have access to my TC HD from the internet.
That gives you what you mainly want at point 5.. access to the TC HD.
1) I rebooted my computer after turning of my BTMM on airport express. I kept on on my TC and in my iCloud Setting.
So the TC is now the only item that has BTMM set??
But no luck?? You didn't give me a result.
2) The brand of my modem is ELSAG DATAMAT, model ARGO55+, provided by FASTWEB internet provider (I need it to have internet).
I will look this up. Appears to be ikanos based adsl modem. But all the details are in other languages.. so it is hard for me to get exact details. Does it have dyndns client available of some sort? As this is essential if you don't have a static public IP.
3) the msg "Chk your router setting to improve speed NAT-UPNP" is on my mac, in iCloud BTMM setting, and I got it in all these cases: a) connected to TC WiFi bridged to my router with 548 TCP open b) Personal Hotspot iPhone 3) US Robotics with UPNP plug&play activated.
So this means that in every case even with the iphone as hotspot.. so this is completely different to your ADSL internet connection BTMM still fails?? There is not one single configuration that works.
Perhaps you need to ring your local Apple support and see if they can figure this out. To me.. a single computer.. plugged into a modem directly.. of whatever kind, adsl or 3G or whatever.. that gets a public IP should be able to do BTMM.. but could apple be blocked in your country.
The exercise I did via the direct connection is to prove there is no block by ISP to actually connect to the TC.. which you said worked.. but there can be other blocks.
It could fail if your ISP gives you a private IP address.. same btw for the adsl connection.
You will need to check by doing a traceroute to say Google DNS server, 8.8.8.8 and see if you are connected via a private IP.. you cannot access a LAN from a double NAT which results.
4) if I am not supposed to do configurations through the net, what is the reason to have a back to my mac iCloud setting available on my Airport Express which has no hard drives and the only feature associated with BTMM is remote configuration?
If you get remote access to change a configuration.. and you make the slightest mistake.. you will not be able to access it again until you get home. So I am unsure what configuration changes to your local lan at home you need to make from remote location. Remembering that a single wrong move will lock you out permanently.
Can you please explain why you need this??

Cannot access disk in Time Capsule after updated to 7.4.1

I have a macbook pro and a PC(MS Vista), both connect to the Time Capsule via LAN.
After I updated the Airport Utility to 7.4.1 in PC several days ago, I could never access the disk in Time Capsule via PC, it always said "Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator". However, everything is fine when I use macbook to access the disk.
I tried to reset the password, tried to access with disk password or with accounts, but nothing worked.
Whatever the password I changed to, it always show the same dialog.
Thank you for your helping!

I had the same problem.. Updating to 7.4.2 seems to have solved the problem, for me anyway. There seem to be a lot of posts about people noticing network slow downs. Can't say I have, but currently I can't access my printer attached to the USB port on my TC from my PC. My iMac can print to it no problem. Bought printer after update installed. If someone can point me in the right direction of solving that problem that would be great.
Cheers

How can I access my Airport Time Capsule from a remote location?

I have my 2 TB Airport Time Capsule connected to my home wireless network and I have heard it is possible to access my information stored on it from anywhere, but I have no clue how to do this.

Frankly, this is not easy, and not for the faint of heart. Having someone to help who has done this will save you a ton of time and headaches.
Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support
Before you do anything though, Back to My Mac assumes that you have a simple modem......not a modem/router that is often provided by Internet Service Providers to their customers. A modem/router.....also called a gateway.....will not allow Back to My Mac to work correctly, so if you do have a modem/router or gateway device, you will need to speak to your service provider to find out if they can provide you with a simple modem.
A simple modem will look something like this:
A modem/router or gateway will look something like this:
Having said this, personally I use another method called Port Mapping to allow my Mac...or an iPhone or iPad connect back to the Time Capsule at home when I am traveling. But, this is even more complicated than Back to My Mac, so BTMM would be the place to start for most users.
If things look intimidating on first pass and you can locate a good tech to set things up for you, that would be money well spent.

HT6065 I installed this update and I no longer can access my AirPort Time Capsule via Finder

When I click on 'AirPort Time Capsule' in Finder, Finder crashes.
I have hundreds of films on a USB drive connected to my AirPort Time Capsule and I no longer can access them on my home network....
Luckily AirPort Utiity still works and I could restart Capsule but no improvement.
Likewise Time Machine still works...

Cannot Access Disks on Time Capsule Since Upgrading to Mavericks

Hey folks...
So I've had this set up for several years, and it's worked out well. I have a time capsule with an external (self-powered) harddrive connected to it via USB. I usually access it via ethernet as the connection is more speedy than wifi, and my laptop generally remains stationary. For what it's worth, I'm using a Macbook Pro (mid-2010), with the original time capsule (500gb) as well as a connected Western Digital (1tb) external harddrive.
Since upgrading to Mavericks, however, I have not been able to consistently access the remote disks, either by wifi or ethernet connection. The time capsule shows up under my "shared" section of the finder window, but the drives (which are usually visible and accessible from within the time capsule) are not there. Strange enough, when I go into my Airport Utility for Time Capsule preferences, the disks are visible under the "disks" section.
The time capsules' firmware is up to date, as well as the laptop's. I have tried reseting the time capsule as well as my computer in addition to simply unplugging/plugging it back in. I was able to access the disks on a fluke once in the last few days, but after moving the computer away from it's standard spot, the disks are once again no longer accessible.
I had Server 2.0 but am unable to use it since upgrading the OS and haven't purchased Server 3.0. Any suggestions for solutions? Could residule configurations having to do with the Server functionality be affecting it? I'm guessing it is something to do with Mavericks. Thanks for any help or feedback.
Mitchel

I don't have a guaranteed solution to your problem, just some suggestions:
1) Try powering down the Time Capsule for at least 15 minutes, then plug it in again and see if it works better.
2) If you suspect that heat might be a problem, try raising the Time Capsule to give better air flow below it. I have mine on an inverted plastic-coated-wire basket of the type used to organize kitchen drawers.
3) If AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule, you should be able to use the "archive" function (in the Disks panel, Disks tab) to write the disk's contents to a drive connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
4) In the worst case, you should be able to access the files on the Time Capsule's disk by opening up the Time Capsule, removing the disk drive, mounting the drive in an external enclosure, and attaching the enclosure to your Mac.

Can't access the internal Time Capsule disk

I bought the Time Capsule a few months ago when I got a 13" MacBook Pro for my wife. The idea was to be able to back up both MacBooks automatically. At 2TB I expected to be able to use the Time Capsule as a NAT to archive some files I didn't want filling up the MacBooks but wanted infrequent access to. Within the last week I noticed that the Time Machine backups had stopped and I could no longer see the TC data disk in finder. I now understand that the TC shouldn't do both backup and archive on the disk. I am trying to "archive" the TC disk onto a 1TB USB drive attached to the TC using the Airport Utility. After 23 hours, 130GB of 681GB on the TC disk has been archived onto the 931GB USB drive. My questions are: Will it ever finish the archive successfully? Is the archived file a bit by bit copy so I can save the files I archived onto the TM disk then erase the TM backups? If I erase the TC disk, will I get it back to a state where I can use it as a strictly TM backup disk for the two MacBooks?

No, reset will not touch the data.. but your TC name or even disk name could have changed and you will need to fix any connection to it. It will also reset passwords which could have been set.. and so you will have to change that.
Mountain Lion seems to be painful in how the finder was setup.
The TC should appear under shared. Make sure you have it turned on.

Can'n access to my time capsule hard drive with my windows vista pc

Hi there,
I just bought a 2T time capsule.
Set up it is ok as my home network and works perfectly.
However i can't access it (reading or writing) with my windows vista pc, it asks me for a username and password.
how can I escape it and have direct access ?
thx

Give it admin as username and public as the password unless you changed the default.
I recommend you load the airport utility for windows onto the vista pc. Bonjour helps windows to discover Apple network devices and access them.
You might also need to turn off firewall in the vista machine. At least make sure it is set to home, not work or public.
In the TC itself using SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
And on the file sharing page set guest account to read and write access.

Can't access files in Time Capsule in WIN7 64 Bit- says folder is empty

Hi there. I can't seem to access my files in Time Capsule using WIN7 64 BIT, it works fine as a router , i can see the time capsule online and how much space it's occupied, however whenever i click on it , it says folder it empty. I can access the files from OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
I tried to drag and drop new files into the Time Capsule in WIN7 , it copies/paste the files fine for a second and then disappear, and if i go back to the Snow Leopard i can see those folders again , so i am guessing i need enable some kind access/ file sharing option or whatever that allows the files to be visible. Has anyone faced this situation in WIN7 64 BIT ?
Thanks

Access to the time capsule harddrive through internet.

Hi everyone,
I bought a few months ago a Time capsule and it is working perfeclty as a network and hard drive under. It is connected to the router unde a bridge mode.
My prooblem is coming when I want to access through internet with my Macbook to my time capsule as it is not possible but according the time capsule specification it is possible to have acces to the harddrive through internet. So it means I have to change soemthing in the setp up on the router (P-2812HNU-F1) or in the time capsule.
Can anyone help me to set up the time capsule and the router accordingly to be able to have acces to the harddrivethrough internet?
Thanks

Have you tried using BTMM and iCloud method?
That is the only method Apple provisioned on the TC and apple network.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
If you are having issues you need to tell us more..
Sometimes it seems the TC in bridge will not work.. if that is the case, then you must see if you can rearrange your network so the TC is the main router.
Or you need to use a manual access method.
This requires using a static public IP (Check with your ISP.. this is by far the best method) or use a dyndns service.. and port forward 548 TCP to the TC.. there are thousands of posts and youtube videos with the info. Just look up "remote access time capsule"
This is a good post to start with.

Issues Accessing VPN via Time Capsule

My work has a VPN (via Palo Alto's Global Protect) set-up to allow for remote desktop connections. For some future projects, it is really important that I get this working. However, I am running into an issue that is directly related to my Apple Time Capsule (an older "flat" model, part number MC343AM/A, running the latest firmware, v7.6.4).
Basically, I can access the VPN and remote desktop no problem if I connect my computer directly to the modem (or if I tether my computer to my phone). However, if I connect the laptop to the router, then the VPN connects and is stable (as verified by my work's IT department), but I lose all other internet connectivity, and am unable to actually connect to the remote desktop. This occurs if I use WiFi or connect through ethernet, and I've verified that it happens on two different computers (an iMac, and a MacBook Pro).
I'm wondering if it is because I use a MAC address filter to assign static IP addresses to the devices on my network? Are there any other settings I should change on the Time Capsule to allow for the VPN passthrough? Before I factory reset the router and lose all of my configurations (e.g., wifi security settings, etc), I was hoping someone might have run into a similar issue and would have some advice!
Any tips would be extremely appreciated.
Best,
Matt

Before I factory reset the router and lose all of my configurations (e.g., wifi security settings, etc),
We can fix that.. export your configuration.. The TC must be open in edit area for this option to work. So at least you don't need to lose settings.
7.6.4 has some real issues with ports.. That it establishes the vpn ok is good but it is clearly not able to pass some of the ports that are required. Are you able to ping or copy files at all over the tunnel?? it might be caused by a number of things. But you should realise that once the tunnel is open the computer is working on a different subnet.. and its own internal firewall can have issues.. or other issues at the other end.
I would have a try at taking the firmware back to 7.6.1 and even 7.5.2 can be a good test.. since it is before BTMM with iCloud where the TC would also complicate things with ipsec security.
To downgrade firmware simply hold down the option key while you click the version number.

Access .Hidden from Time capsule?

Hey Guys!
My imac recently crashed. Luckily I continuesly back my stuff up to a Time Capsule.
What I want to do is to access a .hidden folder. Aka a folder created by typing in "makdir .hidden" in the terminal application.
Question: How do I access that folder in the time capsule?
I have connected and mounted the time capsule to my macbook and see all my files. But where do I find .hidden ?
Thank You!

You should be able to turn finder to see hidden files.

Accessing media on Time Capsule through Apple TV

Hi all, just wonderring if it is possible to access media (movies, music etc) on a Time Capsule via Apple Tv?
Thanks

Only if iTunes is running, the media is in a compatible format (generally h264 for video) and the content has been added to itunes (without copying to computer library - change Preferences).
