Accessing Time Capsule from Internet

Hi,
I have a problem to acess my TC with MacBook Air or iPad from Internet.
TC (Version 7.6.3) is connected to Internet with PPPoE connection. How to configure TC to can acess from outside? Is it necessary to define a port?
Please advise, thank you.
best regards
Robert

Do I have to configure BTMM on my MacBook to?
If I am on a remote place, I can access TC using Air Port program, right?
Yes, there are details on setting up BTMM on the Mac..

There is plenty of angst involved of course..
See

For all kinds of issues that crop up.
Airport utility may not work.. in fact it is unlikely to since it is using a port not forwarded.
You are accessing files.. nothing else.
iPAd: There is a software (GoodReader) able to acess with AFP, but when I enter my IP adress (found over whatsmyip.com) as URL-Adress it doesnt work. It only works in WLAN inside with lokal IP adress. Any more hits??
Thank you.
As stated I am ipadless.. and not able to test any setup of any software.. you must google yourself.
Are you entering the address correctly.. ie
AFP://publicIPaddress
Do you have the sharing disk over WAN checked in the airport utility? See on the disks page of the utility. You will not be able to access it without that..
It is also a chance that enabling BTMM could stop direct access such as you are attempting with the ipad from working. Turn off BTMM before you start trying to access with ipad. It is totally different.. !!

  • Best way to access Time Capsule from the Internet?

    I wanted to see if anyone knew of a program or setting I can use in order to access Time Capsule from the internet? I know that probably I will not be able to at this point access it directly, even though it is connected to the internet through my modem, but I do have a Mac at home that is connected to Time Capsule. Isn't their a way that I could connect to the Mac, but not through Back to My Mac, that would show Time Capsule as connected to it, so that way I could access the files? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    It is possible to mount the TC as a network hard drive when outside your regular network.
    1) You will need to reconfigure your router to forward the ports used for AFP (by default 548) to the Time Capsule.
    2) Then when outside the network make sure Finder is active, press Apple+K to bring up the 'Connect To Server' dialog.
    3) Input the WAN IP address of the network to which the TC resides on.
    4) You will be asked for the password used to access TC.
    5) The TC should appear as a mounted drive.
    It is then possible to access files on the TC as well as do a TM backup. To make life easier you can drag the mounted TC into your dock for easier access in the future.
    However, it is obviously recommended to use a strong password to protect the TC (configurable using Airport Utility in the 'Disks/File Sharing' tab). You may also need to use a service like DynDNS if your network does not use a static IP address.
    But I am using my home networks' Time Capsule successfully from the office.

  • Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet

    Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet?

    Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule.  Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

  • Accessing Time Capsule From Any Internet Connection

    Could you please tell me if it will be possible to access Time Capsule from any internet. I would like to put all my files on the device and be able to access these while out on the road.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Cheers Steve

    Yes, you certainly can (right now) remotely access the hard drive attached to your AEBSn. I will refer you to "Step 4" in Apple's article Sharing a USB hard disk on your network for instructions on enabling this feature. To access the disk remotely (and don't test this from a computer on your own LAN) select "Connect to Server" from the Finder's "Go" menu, and enter the public IP address of your Base Station.
    I have to admit the specs for Time Capsule don't explicitly indicate that Time Capsule will support this feature. However, given this feature is available on the AEBSn and is easy to implement, I would be very surprised if Apple took away this feature when they designed Time Capsule.

  • Can you access Time Capsule From any where, or do you have to be on the same network

    Can you access Time Capsule From any where, or do you have to be on the same network

    check out the post by Tesserax in this discussion.

  • Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

    I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro.  If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers?  Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

    Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
    Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
    Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
    But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.

  • Accessing Time Capsule from iPad 1st Gen.

    I want to access my Time Capsule from my iPad 1st Generation, but the option to "Set up an AirPort Base Station" is not showing up on the iPad's "Wi-Fi Networks" screen.

    "All you need to do is plug in your Time Capsule and connect it to your DSL or cable modem. Then simply select your Time Capsule in Wi-Fi settings in iOS 5, or from the Wi-Fi menu in OS X Lion, and follow the instructions."
    I understand this to mean that you would configure the iPad to connect to the wireless network that the Time Capsule is providing. So, it would connect just like any other computer.
    You select the wireless network, enter the password to connect and you are on the network.
    AirPort Utility would only be used if you have a brand new Time Capsule that you want to configure.
    If you are asking if the iPad can "read" normal files on the Time Capsule (not Time Machine backups), then you will need an app like App Store - FileBrowser - Access files on remote computers (and Time Capsule)
    Really sounds like you have questions for the iPad Support Area.  Please follow up there:

  • How can I access to my time capsule from internet?

    The main reason for bought a time capsule was that i thought i could access to my documents in it from internet. Now I can't find information about it in internet. It is possible to do it?...
    Thanks!

    Since Apple has changed the MobileMe service it is difficult.
    If you have a static IP yes, easy.. in your Mac (must be a Mac), in finder go, go to server, type AFP://IPofTC
    That is the public IP of the TC assuming it is the only router in the network, and you have checked wan access in the disk settings.. and put in a decent password.
    If you do not have a static IP, the TC is difficult. There is no dyndns client.. and you have to have your own domain to get the IP of the TC as it rotates.
    It is easier as almost every router available today has dyndns client.. to relegate the TC to bridge and use a different router and simply port forward AFP.. Please search as there are plenty of posts about how to do it.
    Give exact details of your network if you run into issues.
    And think about security .. AFP is not highly secure.

  • 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.

  • Accessing Time Capsule Without Internet Connection

    Simple question: How do I access my Time Capsule without an internet connection?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Restoring to defaults might be the best way to go. This will not affect your backups.
    To do this, simply hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding another 4-5 seconds when you see this and then release.
    If you have a spare ethernet cable handy, I would recommend that you connect it from the Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup. When you are asked how you want to configure the Time Capsule, choose the "Create a wireless network option"
    Keep following the guide until you Update. You'll see a message that you do not have an ethernet connection at the WAN Port and also that you do not have an Internet connection. Click "ignore" to both of these messages and you get a greeen light when the Time Capsule restarts.
    Then, set up Time Machine again.
    Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backups
    That should get backups going again and also allow you to access your backups by clicking the Time Machine icon on the dock.
    You can keep the computer connected using the ethernet cable, or use the wireless on your computer to connect to the wireless network that the Time Capsule is providing.

  • Can't access time capsule from my macbook air

    Guys,
    Recently, I bought a Time Capsule. In my home  I have 1 IMAC, 1 Macbook Air and 1 Ipad connected to the TC. In the first  configuration everything is ok. But, now, when I true to use the Time Machine or even access  the TC from the MacBook air I'm not able to to do that. When I try it comes a message telling that I should contact the system administrator.
    If someone could help I`ll be glad.
    Thanks,
    Caliljr

    Reboot the TC.. it is stupid yosemite.. it has forgotten where the TC is.
    This is stock standard yosemite.. welcome to the beta program you thought was full release.
    There threads multiple in number and length but no fix is available.
    new x yosemite doesn't support airport utilities ... time capsule doesn't work.. very frustrated ... need help please
    Start at the end and works backwards.

  • Accessing time capsule from Apple TV

    I have lot of my movies stored on time capsule. Can i directly read these movies from time capsule through my apple tv and play them on my hdtv?

    Yes. Just bought it thinking I would be able to play directly from my Time Capsule, but am going to send it back and buy another player, probably from Western Digital, that can acces the files directly.
    I am very disappointed with Apple: they do make the best hardware, but all those limitations they put on the way you can use them is a shame.
    That's entirely up to you. However do you realise that many of the features of the Apple TV rely on integration with iTunes, without it, well you just have the poor experience you do with other products, even though you may be able to access content from a network drive.

  • Accessing Time Capsule from PC

    I have a macboook pro which has given up the ghost. I've been backing it up using Time Machine onto the Time Capsule which I have had installed for the last month or so.
    I am now having to work temporarily from a pc and want to be able to access the data on the time machine. Is this possible?
    I have installed the software for Airport Utility onto the pc and can join my own network and see the Time Capsule. However, when I click on it I am given Error: 10057.
    On another note, is it possible to use the Time Capsule as a hard drive as well as for back up as I have noticed that accessing the data on the time capsule is not exactly easy and can't quite see the benefit of it over a normal external hard drive.
    I particularly need to access my email history...I can cope without the rest as I have access this via my normal hard drives.
    Some straightforward advice would be very welcome.
    Thanks

    Hello nemospain. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I am now having to work temporarily from a pc and want to be able to access the data on the time machine. Is this possible?
    Sorry, but no. You will need a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard in order to access the Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule.

  • Access Time Capsule over internet

    Is it possible to connect your time capsule to be a shared drive over the internet so u can access files etc. stored on it? I know its possible but im yet to come across instructions for time capsule's also being used as the router?

    Yes. The easiest way to do this involves using a MobileMe account. You'd then use the MobileMe tab in the Advanced panel of AirPort Utility to enter the MobileMe sign-on information and sign the "remote" Mac into that MobileMe account using the "Back to My Mac" tab of the MobileMe panel of System Preferences.

  • Access time capsule over internet using a Domain name

    Hi
    I would like to know if there is a possibility to access my time capsule over the internet by my domain name on GoDaddy??
    I found too  many tutorials on the internet but unfortunately it is for TC 2nd generation, my TC is 3rd.

    Regards,
    A tutorial for any generation is equally valid.
    It doesn't matter what URL you use as long as the computer translates it to the IP address of the WAN of your router.. which then forwards port 548 to the TC.. or if the TC is the main router, then you tick the WAN access and set the network password for the hard disk in the TC.
