Accessing my time capsule using mobile me.... can I access from my iphone?

I just bought a new 1TB time capsule and I followed the instructions to setup my mobile me account.... but how does it work? If I am on my MAC away from home how do i access my time capsule?
Also, is it possible to access my time capsule contents from my iphone?

  • Remote access my time capsule when mobile me is no longer offered? And I do NOT have a static IP?

    How can i remote access my time capsule when mobile me is no longer offered iCloud is months away and I do NOT have a static IP?
    I feel that apple has crippled the functionality of my time capsule as I can no longer access the files abroad!

    Try the advice in this thread.

  • Pictures were saved to Time Capsule and now I can't access them. Help!

    I moved my library to Time Capsule a few weeks ago. Worked ok, but was kinda clunky--although I use my TC for wifi, I still had to go into finder to connect manually to TC to open my library (this happened as well with iTunes). As well, I kept having to assign the library every time I opened iPhoto. For the last two days, I have not been able to access anything. iPhoto opens (without asking me for the library) completely blank. I can see the iPhoto icon on TC and shows the file size (which I'm guessing means the pictures are still there). I can't access them by going into TC either and it won't roll back (specifically when I try to view backups through iPhoto). I've tried rebooting TC. Still no luck. Please help.

    first - you do not want to put dynamic files like iPhoto and iTunes on the same volume as Time Machine is using for its backups - TM will fill the volume and your iPhoto library will fail due to lack of available space
    second iPhoto simply does not operate well over wireless - library corruption often occurs due to minor fluctuations with the WiFi signals during editing and importing
    I can't access them by going into TC either and it won't roll back (specifically when I try to view backups through iPhoto).
    having your iPhoto library on a Time Capsule does not make it a backup that iPhoto can view - iPhoto is viewing backups made by TimeMachine - and if your iPhoto library is on the TC that TM is using to backup to, it is not likely that you have a backup of the iPhoto library
    Basically the answer is to get a hardwired external drive for your iPhoto and iTunes libraries and have TM backup that EHD

  • How do I access my time capsule using a Ethernet cable connected to my pc?

    I am trying to access my saved files on my time capsule. I don't have internet so I'm trying to use an Ethernet cable.  I'm using a PC laptop not a Mac.  I have no idea how to access them.

    Load the airport utility for windows.. as that helps by loading the bonjour for windows service.
    Then open windows explorer and type the IP of the TC directly which you will find in the airport utility.
    \\10.0.1.1 (that is default.. replace with whatever the actual is).

  • Accessing the Time Capsule remotely

    Is there a way to access the time capsule remotely when it is down stream from my router? I have tried a few different approaches none of which seem to work.

    This worked just fine when I used it in the past:

    Might be worth a look.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to my Time Capsule. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule?

    I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

    If someone really wants to do something, it won't take them long to find out how to do it.

    Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.

  • Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi?

    Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi?   I would like to edit my pictures on my ipad instead of my mac mini and have them stored on my time capsule.

    Sad that people steal stuff.. and..
    Sorry but there is no way windows can recover a TM backup. You have to use another Mac.
    TM is uniquely Mac.

  • HT3728 My Time Capsule won't allow me to access my home network each day (intermittently) between about 1000-1800. My modem is working properly, and I can get on-line by hooking my computer straight to my modem, so I know it's the Time Capsule at fault. I

    My Time Capsule won't allow me to access my home wireless network for several hours each day -- usually between 1000-1830 or so. My modem is working correctly and I can still get on-line by going straight from my computer (MacBook Pro) to the Ethernet port. It must be the Time Capsule -- any ideas?

    Any ideas?
    Wireless Interference
    Might be caused by a cordless phone in the vicinity. To give you an example, my neighbor.....across the street...used to be able to literally crash my wireless network if he was in his front yard talking on his cordless phone.
    I discovered this by accident one day after spending weeks trying figure out why my network would crash at random times.
    Other possibilities include a wireless security/camera system near you
    Still other things might be an amateur ham radio operator....which should not interfere....but again from experience, I know that this can occur.
    Yet another possibility is another wireless network near you that is being turned on and off at random times. Some users power up their modem/router only when they want to do so and leave it off otherwise.
    Some general rules to help avoid interference:
    Move any cordless phones that you might have as far away as possible from the Time Capsule and/or your computer(s)
    Avoid placing other electronic devices....computer, television, amplifier, satellite receiver, etc. near the Time Capsule and/or your computer(s)
    Avoid metal surfaces near the Time Capsule and/or your computers
    Elevate the Time Capsule as much as possible. Think of it as a water sprinkler....you want to get the room as wet as possible
    Experiment with different wireless channels on the Time Capsule. To do this:
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule
    Click Edit
    Click the Wireless tab
    Click Wireless Options
    Start with Channel 11 on the 2.4 GHz band and work your way down
    It is unlikely that you are picking up interference on the 5 GHz band since there are.....for now at least.....far fewer networks using this frequency.

  • I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

    I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
    Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time... 
    Thanks for any help.

    I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
    This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??
    The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
    How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
    There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
    If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
    Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
    Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
    Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
    Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
    Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
    Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
    Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
    Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
    I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
    eg
    Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
    Is the issue wireless only.. ??
    Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.

  • Using AirPort Time Capsule as an external drive with access to files by guest account

    Is it possible to use my AirPort Time Capsule as an external drive with access to files by a guest account?
    I would like to store a large number of folders containg photographs on my AirPort Time Capsule and allow anyone with a password to access the photographs - at the time of viewing the Time Capsule would be connected to the internet but I wouldn't want users to actually access anything other than the files on the Time Capsule - is this possible?  if so any help in configuring it would be really helpful.

    No it is not possible.. Guest is just that.. a guest that is allowed permission to access the internet but none of the local files.
    To give a person access to the TC they must have password to access your normal network..
    From there it is up to you how you do this.. people cannot actually access files on your computers unless you give them share and password permissions for that.. you can even setup accounts on the TC although I recommend against it.. if you want shared photos anyway. All security on a TC is illusion.. merely pressing the reset and it is all blown away.. so if you are concerned about security don't put stuff on the TC people should not access.. or like your TM backups ensure they are encrypted.
    A person can then access you TC and the photos.. but what else on the network??

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • Can't reset my time capsule using reset button and I don't have the password to get into reset it.

    I can't reset my time capsule b/c the reset button broke off when my time capsule fell off my shelf. I can't remember the password to the disk or time capsule to do a manual reset and I can't access the time capsule. Any suggestions around this?
    Thanks.

    Bob's suggestion is the best, as the old passwords should be stored on that computer.
    If you need to do it .. the hard way.. just open the TC.
    You need a heat gun (hair dryer on hottest setting works fine).. to heat the rubber mat up to very hot.. I usually take 5min or more just heating it, evenly as possible. Lift on one corner and keep heating whilst peeling off the rubber. I use a pair of leather garden gloves as it needs to be so hot you cannot hold it for long.
    Really hot the rubber easily peels off with all the glue on the rubber.
    Now undo the 10 small philips head screws and carefully lift up the aluminium base plate. There is a fan plugged into the board so don't pull. You can disconnect the plug carefully and lift it completely off.
    You can then press the reset switch with a small screwdriver or the like.. careful not to short anything if you use metal.
    The plastic lever should still be rolling around inside the TC.. when I look carefully at the plastic, the lever is inserted later.. not part of the one moulding.. there are two plastic stakes, which are heated and bent down like a rivet to hold the lever in place. You may be able to relocated the lever onto the plastic stakes with some glue.. use a good 5min epoxy rather than instant glue.. although on ABS plastic the instant glue works very well. Use the glue under and on top but a tiny amount, otherwise you will simply glue the lever to the body and it will never work again. You might be able to make it stay.. just be very gentle if you ever need to press it again.
    You can try a more permanent repair.
    Plastic flexing as hinges is not an engineering solution .. but you can get a scrap of metal, thin brass would be ideal... drill a hole in one end and use a small dia screw.. I would tap it and run a screw from the inside, using a short screw so only the end of the screw is visible. Coat the inside with silastic so it cannot short anything. Depends on your handyman type skills I guess.
    Strange that it would break.. Must have hit hard!!

  • Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

    Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

    Yes, but the issue is the IP address. If you have a static IP from your ISP it is easy.. Or if you use another router with dyndns it is easy.. but Apple make it exclusive to their network so you can have loads of issues without a computer to function as a client for dns.
    Look up remote Time Capsule access .. there is plenty of info out there.
