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.

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.

  • SHARE TIME CAPSULE AS THROUGH INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB

    SHARE TIME CAPSULE AS THROUGH INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB

    Most ISP correctly block SMB over internet. It is too insecure .. use VPN to a different router and place the TC behind it.
    Besides TC does not expose SMB to WAN.. same reason. You have to port forward SMB.
    You can use SMB on some strange port.. there are instructions if you want you networked just use them.

  • Can I create a network where the Time Capsule gets its internet connection from my iMac?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a Time Capsulebut I'm having some problems with it on my university network. It is an Eduroam network, so each computer has to authenticate before it can get an Internet connection – I can't use the Time Capsule normally as it is unable to authenticate to the network. However, I'd like to be able to create a smaller network in my room (with my computer and iDevices on so that I can use Remote and stuff, as well as to potentially get my Xbox and Kindle,which can't connect either, online).
    Last time I did this, I had my iMac create an internet connection which it shared with everything else. (This was before I had the Time Capsule.) One way of solving it seems like it might be to share the Wifi internet connection with the Time Capsule through the ethernet, and then the Time Capsule can share the interent to everything else. Would this be possible? Or can you think of any other way that this could be done?
    In other terms, I have an iMac, a Time Capsule, an iPhone and iPad, a Kindle and an Xbox. Only the iMac can connect to the internet and I'd like them all to be able to, as well as being on the same network. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    DropBox is another possibility for sharing files and it is free for the first 2GB of storage.

  • How do I set up the Time Capsule without an internet connection

    How do I set up the Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive without an internet connection.   I am in a office situation in which I cannot access my work network.  I need to be able to share files on the Time Capsule over the wire connection.

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • How to get "Easy" access to my Time Capsule files via Internet?

    Hello,
    I like to have a easy solution to acces my TC 2TB via Internet.
    I saw there is an easy way, if you have an MobileMe Account - but this service is since Lion, icloud and iOS5 not longer avalible. 
    Does anyone know how to get easy acces without DynDNS, FTP or other difficult solutions or does anyone knows a solution which will be avalible in the future?
    Thanks
    Flo

    Thanks for your fast answer.
    But as mentioned in THE NOTE my TC is a downstream router behind another router. The reason is that I am connected to the internet via Telekom entertain 16000 with an DSL/Modem/Router which one I need to connect my media Receiver.
    So is there a following solution which replaces the MobileMe Solution.

  • I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How?

    I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
    I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal.  In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
    How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
    What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook?   Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad?

  • Airport Time Capsule as a Internet Server

    Please, has anyone here formatted the Time Capsule as a internet server?

    Just note Apple states specifically not to store the iphoto library on network drives.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32           it adds network drives.
    In fact I think it dangerous to have any live files ie ones you are actually working on stored on the TC and not your local drive/s. If you store files on the TC be aware at least that you will also experience some slow operations of some things.

  • I am connected to a time capsule both wirelessly and through ethernet...and state of the time capsule is solid green...the internet however doesn't work...The internet works fine when directly connected to my macbook pro but it won't work through the tc

    I have deleted time machine preferences...restarted the modem a bunch of times, restored time capsule to it's original settings...after I first set it up in Airport Ulitity its shows a page quickly that states there is a internet problem, but the page quickly goes away before I can read what it says exaclty and states the internet connection problem is resolved...
    However it's not resolved, I'm also having trouble doing a back up to my time capsule...I recently purchased a new macbook and retrieved/restore what was on the time capsule to the new computer...that worked fine...wireless worked fine...however when I tried to back up the new macbook...it would faii stating that there isn't enough room on the TC to do a back up...
    I didn't end up keeping the new macbook, I was just using it/trying it out while my current macbook pro was being repaired (logic board)
    Ever since I got my current macbook back from repair...my backups have failed due to their not being enough space to perform the back up...in the past the back ups would happen and old back ups would be replaced...
    I think this has to do with my current computer having a new name after the repair..."Adam's macbook pro 2" vs "Adam's macbook pro"
    The internet was working fine wirelessly through the TC a day ago, but it wasn't allowing my other laptop that was connected via ethernet access to the internet...I had a self assigned IP address error then...I don't have that problem now, but it's not transmitting internet at all...even though it's in a solid green state.
    I have no problem completely wiping out my TC including the previous back ups on it...just don't know how to go about it...I have restored it to factory settings a bunch of times and created the network from scratch...just hasn't fixed the issue
    Is there more prefences files I should delete

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • My PC won't connect to the internet through the Time Capsule

    I hope someone can help. I have a 4th Gen, 2TB Time Capsule with the following connected via WiFi: MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod, (2) iPhone 5, Apple TV, Playstation 3, HP all-in-one PC, and a printer.
    Up until a couple days ago all of them worked perfectly. I'm not sure what happened (I didn't adjust any settings) but suddenly ALL non-Apple products will connect to the Time Capsule but won't access the internet. It is very frustrating and I can't find anything that has helped yet. They will work proper if I connect using an ethernet cable but not via WiFi like they used to.
    I have unplugged and replugged the modem and Time Capsule, done a full system restore on my PC, gone through the settings on my Time Capsule (not sure what I'm looking for).
    Hope someone has heard of this and can give me some advice. Thank You.

    Did you happen to upgrade to 7.6.3 on the TC?
    That would be pretty funny if the new firmware causes all non-apple wireless products to drop out.
    I think we could get a very big fight going over such a thing.
    Although I don't know the reason.. apart from that dreadful firmware.
    Apple names are a problem.. why it should hit now after working fine I am not sure.
    But you need to do a full factory reset to the TC.
    Then give it all SMB compatible names.. (ie comply with windows networking).
    That means short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    That will include TC network name, wireless names (different name for 5ghz) and hard disk share name.
    You should use WPA2 Personal security. With a pure alphanumeric passkey of 10-20 characters.
    Use fixed wireless (radio in Apple Speak) channels. For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping. 11, 6, 1 and test them in that order. 5ghz doesn't usually matter so much but test down low.. say channel 40 and up high 157.. or ones near that in your country.
    Tell me if you still have issues..
    And go back to 7.6.1 firmware. Hold down the option key and select previous firmware if you are on 7.6.3

  • Can I access the data on the time capsule from the Internet?

    Can I access the data on the time capsule from the Internet?

    You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
    Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
    Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
    BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

  • HT1178 Am I able to access my external hard drive through the Time Capsule when I'm away from my home?

    I am out of town a lot and I do a lot of photoshop/scrapbooking.  I would like to have my pictures and supplies on one hard drive that I'm able to access whether I'm at home or way.  Do you know if this is doable with the Time Capsule?  I know I can use the iCloud option but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
    Thank you,

    So if you don't want to use iCloud and BTMM, how are you going to locate the TC on the internet??
    There are several possible ways to directly access TC.. using AFP only.. ie you must use a Mac.
    The TC has to be setup correctly to allow remote access or the router you are using does.
    But more importantly what IP is the ISP going to give you.. have you purchased a static public IP?? If not your IP is constantly changing and you need to use a dyndns service to provide a connection to the TC.. this is what icloud and btmm do.. but they hide it to make it useless to any other service.
    TC does not have a dyndns client that is available for use by enduser.. so you need a decent router that does allow access and dyndns and you can bridge the TC behind it. All a lot of work to avoid icloud.
    For more details just google remote access time capsule.. there is plenty of info, youtube videos etc.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • I lost the lan ethernet connection of an older windows 7 pc to my 3 Terabyte router when adding a new local printer to the pc. How do i set this up again so the PC is recognized and can get to the internet again through the time capsule?

    I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
    Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
    Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.

    I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
    But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
    If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
    Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
    BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
    What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
    I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
    I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
    I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
    BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
    Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

  • How does one set up remote access via the internet to access files stored on the Time Capsule using airport utility 6.1

    I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with instructions please on how to set up remote access via the internet to the time capsule when away from home?
    I am running OS X Mountain Lion operating system and have Airport Utility 6.1.
