Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

The Apple TV looks for iTunes, which is likely on your computer.
I know of no way to "tell" the Apple TV to look for anything. It is pre-programmed to look for iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, so long as the movies on your time capsule are part of your iTunes library and iTunes is running on your computer.

Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC? My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.

Yes.
You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

Can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

I use InFuse, an iPhone, iPad, App.
It can play the video on the iPhone or iPad.
I use it to play on the TV using AirPlay and AppleTV.
It does transcoding where needed. It uses screen mirroring for native formats such as mp4.
It can look up the movie and TV series database for information, plot description, rating, cover art etc.
For playing on the Mac just open the file in Quicktime.

If you have a Jail Break ATV yes.. if not, no.. as ATV is linked to iTunes.

Can i delete photos from my comp once they are stored in time capsule without losing them?

Can I delete my photos from my computer after i have backed up to time capsule without losing them?

NO.. this is not how TM works.. once deleted from the Computer, it will be deleted eventually from the back.. when is unknown.
See Q20 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Use an external drive to store the photos and include that in the TM backup.
If you copy the files to a separate directory on the TC, that is different to using TM.
But then you have no backup and the TC has no backup of itself.. indeed it cannot.. nor can TM backup a network drive.
You never want to have only one store of your files. Especially things like photos which are irreplaceable.

How can i gain access to my data on a Time Capsule after a fresh install of Mavericks? I can't access any backups through Time Machine... They appear purple/transparent, and I can't even select them to view their contents. PLEASE HELP!!!

So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

Can I rename or move backup files from my Time Capsule?

I have replalced my Macbook Pro with a new one with the same name. I have backup files on Time Capsule (Time Machine files) that I need to preserve for now, but I want to start backing up the new MB Pro without Time Capsule mixing the old with the new (since they have the same name). So I'd like to move the old files to a different drive or rename them so Time Machine won't use them, but don't want to corrupt them in the process. And if that works, will I still be able to open them to restore select files if needed?
Really appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks
Fred

You will corrupt your backups if you change any name in your backed up folders. What I recommend you to do is to move your backup files of the old Mac to another external drive, so you do not have them stored on the Time Capsule taking up space for the new Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How to backup the files that are into the Time Capsule HD? is it possible?

Hi my question is not so simple...I think
I'm using a TC only as a router and a network HD
and I saved on it all my movies, tv shows and also my itunes library and iphoto library to share all this stuff also to my mac mini which is connected to my Plasma tv.
I wanna know if is it possible to backup with time machine the TC hard disk
because I don't know how to tell to time machine to backup not my macs but my TC.
I read this article that explain How to enable Time Machine on unsupported volumes
http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/how-to-enable-time-machine-on-unsupported-vol umes/
You think that if I activate this option Time Machine can read from TC and make a backup of it?

No, sorry, Time Machine cannot back up a network drive.
You can copy ("archive") everything on the TC's internal HD to a USB drive connected to it, per the green box in #Q6 Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. That's probably the simplest and easiest way, but it's also likely the slowest.
Or, see Kappy's post on Basic Backup, complete with links to the web sites of each product. I've also heard that Chronosync may work for this purpose.

Can not view movies that are in itunes on Apple TV

Not all movies that are listed in my itunes are visble on my Appkle Tv. They all [lay on itines ok ??? I have resynched to no avail ? why ? help

Possibly as they're not compatible (if purchased from iTunes store they should be, though some podcasts are too complex/hi-res).
See:
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
Basically you need h264 encoded at <5MBps with AAC audio at 720p 24fps or less (30fps will work at 960x540 or below).
Check the movies in the movie section of iTunes to ensure they're not unticked which will prevent them from syncing/streaming.
Also if AppleTv might be full and you're syncing ensure AppleTV summary tab in iTunes does not have 'Show only synced items' selected.

HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on). But getting the photos back from a backup is risky. Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned. icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album). You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

You can't view them on iCloud.com. And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled. This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.
