AppleCare coverage of Time Capsule ordered w/ Macbook

Apple sales & Apple Store say that if I buy Time Capsule w/ a Macbook & AppleCare, AppleCare Protection will cover the Time Capsule. But it is not written anywhere that I can find in their online terms and conditions. I believe there is language about AppleCare coverage of other devices purchased (vs. ordered) with computers, but not the Time Capsule. This may be because Time Capsule hasn't been released yet. I would like to place an order for all three now, but would like more than verbal assurances that Time Capsule will be covered. Can anybody suggest an iron clad solution, or do more than offer opinions and verbal assurances?

From Apple Care Macbook online:
Note the comprehensive coverage....

Time Capsule and 2 macbook at the same time

Hello,
I have a time capsule and 2 macbooks.
Therefore, when my macbook is doing a backup ( every hour), my collegue cannot acces to internet, and cannot backup at the same time.
But it looks like this problem is only one way ( I mean when my collegues backup, I don't have any trouble to go on internet).
Anyone can help? cause it's really annoying.
Thanks

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

How to share 1 time capsule to 2 macbooks air, using Time Machine?

How to share 1 time capsule to 2 macbooks air, using time machine??

You don't need to do anything.. both computers can use the TC and will create separate backups. It is simply designed to work with Time Machine.

What software do I need to view files or watch movies on my imac/time capsule, from my macbook (away from home)?

It appears you have a iPad Mini and a MacBook. Assuming that, this

HT1176 Initial Time Capsule backup on MacBook Pro that doesn't have an Ethernet port

I just got a 3TB time capsule and am trying to backup my MacBook Pro. The initial process is very slow, but my MacBook doesn't have an Ethernet port. How can I connect the time capsule to the MacBook Pro to make the initial backup go more quickly?

A very good investment to make would be......

Why Apple chose to leave off the most important port in networking is a mystery.

If you reboot the computer it should fix the problem. Also see the first link under More Like This to the right of this page:
I am received an error on my Time Capsule which states the backup disk image "Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro. sparse bundle? is already in use. so time machine couldn't complete the backup to time capsule - any suggestion

Can I restore a backup (on a time capsule) from a macbook to a macbook air?

can I restore a backup (on a time capsule) from a macbook to a macbook air?

I've never personally done this, but I'm qute sure you can. After all, this would be one method of migrating from the MacBook to the MacBook Air (with the assistance of Migration Assistant).

Como accedo de mi mini iPad el disco duro de mi time capsule? Mi Macbook pro no enciende.

Como accedo desde mi iPad el disco del time capsule? Mi Macbook Pro no enciende y necesito accesar el disco del time capsule desde mi iPad.

Hi I was using disk utility, right now my mac cannot read any internal drive even the original, I test both drives the original hd and the ssd. So I took the mac with a technician to try to fix it, he said that the flex sata cable is bad, so I am going to replace it, unfortunately he does not have it in stock as soon as I get it I will try to use the ssd, I know that is working right now I am using it in the USB port.
Why do you think sata III is not the problem?
Thanks.

Time Machine back-up (via a Time Capsule) on a MacBook Pro

Can I create a Time Machine back-up (via a Time Capsule) on a MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard as the OS and then upgrade my OS to Mountain Lion (a few days later) to continue using Time Machine?

then upgrade my OS to Mountain Lion (a few days later) to continue using Time Machine?
I am not sure what you mean by "to continue"
You can continue.. but upgrading is not required "to continue"
Often you will have issues though. It will create a very large backup, due to the new OS. And going back to Snow Leopard might become impossible.
I think personally it is better to have a backup of your machine before upgrade .. and keep it separate to later backup after the upgrade.
You can also do a disk image of the computer running SL to external drive just using free edition of superduper or even disk utility.
Upgrade installs are never as good as a clean install btw.. !!

Migration Problems with Time Capsule and New MacBook Pro

Hopefully someone on here can help with with this problem I'm having. I just bought the new 13' MacBook Pro this week from the store and I no longer have my old MacBook Pro. I have a Time Capsule with complete backups of my old MacBook Pro and I also have the internal hard drive from it as well.
I had installed the beta version of Mountain Lion on the old MacBook Pro and the new one still has Lion.
The problem is that every time I have tried to use the Migration Assistant (and I've tried 3 times now) my files and applications are getting messed up.
iPhoto won't open. It says that it needs to be updated but when I check to update it it says that there is no update needed.
I'm seriously about to beat my head against the wall because every time I migrate the data it takes about 12 hours. I'm thinking at this point that it might be easier for me to just swap out the internal hard drives in the units because it is possibly an issue with the OS' and wait until next month to try migrating to the new drive again after Mountain Lion is officially launched.

Bob,
I appreciate your honest and prompt response. I was VERY SPECIFIC when I told the sales rep I was hoping to use the Time Capsule with two different MacBook Pro's on different subnets (one is behind a firewall on a router, one is directly connect to a WAN side IP with no firewall) and the sales rep made a point of saying that the dual band feature would facilitate this connectivity which left me with the impression (obviously wrong) that the WiFi features of the time capsule could be used to communicate with multiple Macs regardless of their own networking configurations. (I have been configuring fairly complicated networks for 20 years and only bought my first Mac two and a half years ago; the second Mac is only six months old; the third will be bought next month.)
This isn't the end of the world for me... it does require reconfiguring my network and doing a lot of port tunneling for the box outside of the firewall in order to bring it inside as well as giving up some remote access redundancies (which were based on the ability to connect to both machines using VNC software which is port specific which means that it needed separate WAN side IP addresses).
Overall I love the Mac approach compared to the nightmare that was (is) Windows (although I do also run an Ubuntu Linux box just to keep me honest). That said, your sales reps do your products a HUGE disservice when they give glib and incorrect answer to what was, I believe in my case, a very specific and precise question.

Time Capsule With My Macbook Pro

I am planning on buying the 1 tb time capsule and I am wondering on if it will be sufficient to cover the entire house, From what I hear they are capable of getting a good range but have the ability to be expanded with the airport express. I am in a 6500 square foot house and need it all to be covered! It would be great if I could also have the basement covered on top of that, So could you tell me the range your getting and the best place to place it eg top floor, main floor or basement
Basically will cover around 8400 square feet alone if not how many other air port express units will I need to buy

Mark,
There are other factors other then space to cover to take in to consideration such as are your walls and ceilings concrete? Is your studding metal? How many floors are in your house? These are all very important. Also if you have an older Macbook Pro pre Wireless N note that the signal will not be as strong because it will not be able to take full advantage of the N technology. I would suggest at least 2 Airport Express' to work alongside your Time capsule to guarantee that you are getting maximum coverage throughout your house. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Good Luck.

Time Capsule Flashing Amber - Macbook Doesn't Scan It

here's the situation:
i just moved. at my old place i used the time capsule exclusively as an external hard drive and not a wireless router. i had it connected to my router wirelessly though. in my new place i want to make the time capsule the router and set up a network with it. however once i plugged it into the wall it gives me that lovely flashing amber light on the front. nothing i do makes it go away.
i've tried the reset button. i've tried holding that down while scanning with the airport utility. i've tried unplugging the time capsule. i've looked at every thread on the apple support boards, this forum, google, the manual. i cannot get this time capsule to not flash amber.
my macbook pro does not see it when i use the airport utility so i can't even troubleshoot it from there. can someone please explain to me what i'm supposed to do?

Hi Jentonola
If your network is up and you have Internet access, the flashing yellow light is probably an indication that a software update is available for Airport Utility.
Open Applications, then open Utilities, and finally Airport Utility.
Click AirPort Utility at the top left of the screen and select Check for Updates.

Time Machine to Time Capsule locking my Macbook - help?

I'm close to returning my new 1tb Time Capsule and buying a cheap router. Much frustration
My network consists of 3 Macs - 1 G5 iMac and 2 first gen Macbooks (10.6). One Timecapsule, with an Airport Express as an extender. A few other devices (couple of Tivo's, couple of iPhones, printer etc) too. They all work flawlessly.
The iMac has no Time Machine (10.4) - Wireless backups using "Backup" take forever, but do eventually work.
The Macbooks do - one is a lesser used machine with only 50gb or so on the drive - we did the first backup via ethernet and the rest is fine, and as expected. It gets affected when the AE drops internet (more below).
My Macbook is a different story - the initial backup is close to 200gb, and seems to lockup even over ethernet (everything freezes, system clock stops at a set time).
I did get one initial backup, but the incremental backups are still incredibly slow - I'm a photographer, so one photo shoot could be 2gb of files to backup over the WAN. It never seems to complete - usually Firefox or iTunes will crash (Not Responding), sometimes my local airport express may fail and drop internet connection (a soft reset from the Airport Util brings it back, assuming my Macbook is still up).
I'm getting very frustrated - my Macbook needs to be wireless, and Time Machine needs to just work. Local drives work fine, I've not had a problem with a local USB drive in the past few years - but I didn't drop $400 on a Time Capsule to keep a local drive just for the most used Macbook.
Everything is 802.11G (core duo Macbooks didn't have 802.11N). All non Mac devices work, even with the AE in a hung state.
If I don't use Time Machine on my machine, or if I do my backups to USB drives, everything on the other machines is fine. Why can't it handle the large backups (even if it's slow)? Why does it crash my local machine, and sometimes the AE?
If I can't get this working, I'll just stick with my local USB drive, exchange the Time Capsule for a regular router and save myself close to $300, and be very unhappy

Time Capsule cannot handle large (100gb_ updates over wifi (G), regardless of time left alone. Have had to buy a second external drive for my Macbook, and pushing everything else over the wire.

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.
