Can I access movies from time capsule in my smart tv?

Can I watch movies stored in the hard disk attached to my airport extreme from my smart tv?

That depends on your TV, if it has the ability to connect to a networked drive or not. Check the manual.

Can's access files from time capsule

I have a 2TB Time Capsule that is about 2 months old. The wifi works however, when I go to access the files on the drive, the time capsule boots itself off of the network. I use the time capsule to store my musics, movies, and pictures on. Only a couple of gigs of space is being used. I've done a soft reboot on the time capsule and on the ATT uverse box that it is bridged through. Problem still persist. Issue is happening on my macbook pro and windows laptop. Machines can see the drive, back either the files or empty or time capsule goes off line. Any thoughts.

Yes, unless it's been deleted from the Time Capsule, which may happen when it runs out of space. Don't use the backup as a storage place for files you intentionally delete from the computer; it's designed for recovery of accidentally deleted content, and if desired, for use with the Migration Assistant when setting up a new Mac.

Lost the contents of Bookmarks Menue, can i recover it from time capsule

Mac OS 10.8.3/Safari 6.0.
items previously in my Bookmarks Menu are no longer lited. Can they be recovered from Time Capsule, If so please explain how? Thank you.

Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

Can you run programs from time capsule? IE can I run microsoft office from it?

Yes, probably can.. but it won't be fast. You are better storing programs locally and data remotely.

Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

How can I access my Airport Time Capsule from a remote location?

I have my 2 TB Airport Time Capsule connected to my home wireless network and I have heard it is possible to access my information stored on it from anywhere, but I have no clue how to do this.

Frankly, this is not easy, and not for the faint of heart. Having someone to help who has done this will save you a ton of time and headaches.
Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support
Before you do anything though, Back to My Mac assumes that you have a simple modem......not a modem/router that is often provided by Internet Service Providers to their customers. A modem/router.....also called a gateway.....will not allow Back to My Mac to work correctly, so if you do have a modem/router or gateway device, you will need to speak to your service provider to find out if they can provide you with a simple modem.
A simple modem will look something like this:
A modem/router or gateway will look something like this:
Having said this, personally I use another method called Port Mapping to allow my Mac...or an iPhone or iPad connect back to the Time Capsule at home when I am traveling. But, this is even more complicated than Back to My Mac, so BTMM would be the place to start for most users.
If things look intimidating on first pass and you can locate a good tech to set things up for you, that would be money well spent.

Can't add/access files from Time Capsule

I have two time capsules, one that I bought for myself and one that my brother gave to me. For the past couple of months, I've been using the time capsule I bought for myself to back up my imac and I've also been adding video files from my macbook air into a separate folder I created in the time capsule. This method has been working really well for me and I have approximately 700 GB of space left on the the time capsule. However, after I downloaded the Mac OS X 10.5.5 update, every time I try to add video files to the folder on my time capsule, the time capsule disconnects itself after freezing my finder application for about 10-20 minutes. The same thing happens when I try to access the files in the folder. I've been using my brother's time capsule for the time being, but I'm worried I won't ever be able to access these files again. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you,
Sugi

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.

Playing movies from time capsule

I was looking for a new hard drive to back up my macbook ... the time capsule seems expensive. I had some questions about it.
If i have the 3TB time capsule, thats more then enough to use time machine and keep it backed up.
1. Can I also use it as an external HD that i want to keep files on to save room on my laptop?
2. If I have a selection of movies that I keep on the time capsule, can I access them right through the time capsule, and have my macbook turned off? or do I have to keep my macbook open for use of iTunes?
Thanks for your help!

1. Can I also use it as an external HD that i want to keep files on to save room on my laptop?
Yes, but let's say that you move some important files from your laptop to the Time Capsule....and to save room on the laptop, you delete the files from the laptop. Now, you have only one version of those important files...and they are on the Time Capsule.
Would you really consider keeping only one version of your important files.....with no backup? In other words, what will happen to your important files when.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem?
2. If I have a selection of movies that I keep on the time capsule, can I access them right through the time capsule, and have my macbook turned off?
No
or do I have to keep my macbook open for use of iTunes?
Yes
You might want to consider something like this.........add an external hard drive to your Mac and move all of your media files over to that drive. Then, the Time Capsule can back up both your Mac and the external hard drive......so you have backups of everything on your Mac and the external hard drive.

Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

Hello !
It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't streamimg my movies directly)
It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
Thank you for your answears.

Hi,
you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
Hope this helped

Can't access files in Time Capsule in WIN7 64 Bit- says folder is empty

Hi there. I can't seem to access my files in Time Capsule using WIN7 64 BIT, it works fine as a router , i can see the time capsule online and how much space it's occupied, however whenever i click on it , it says folder it empty. I can access the files from OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
I tried to drag and drop new files into the Time Capsule in WIN7 , it copies/paste the files fine for a second and then disappear, and if i go back to the Snow Leopard i can see those folders again , so i am guessing i need enable some kind access/ file sharing option or whatever that allows the files to be visible. Has anyone faced this situation in WIN7 64 BIT ?
Thanks

Problems playing movies from Time Capsule

I am having a problem playing movies from my Time Capsule to my Apple TV. I can make them work but have to go through the following process: I have to play the movie through iTunes and then stop it, and then go play the movie on apple TV. I have to do this each time I want to watch one of the movies. Any thoughts on this issue?

Hopefully this information will help. I have an aiport extreme connected directly to my Cable Modem. I then setup the Time Capsule to extend the network updstairs. I have everything running on 802.11n. Wireless connection is great and I get about 13-14mb download speeds when I do a speedtest.
I must say though, copying data to the Timecapsue via wireless is slow...
I checked my apple TV this morning, and the first movie I clicked on worked great, so did the second one, then I tried a third and got the following error: "The Selected Video could not be played. The Format was not recognized"
Then I went back to play the original two that worked, and they now gave me the same error... it almost looks like it is looking connection to them, or synching or something..

Can't migrate files from time capsule, resource temporarily unavailable

My old iMac 20" Intel late 2006 crashed. It got slower and froze as well as lines across, so I thought it's the graphic card. At the same time the SOPHOS Anti virous detected malware and trojan on my computer which was removed manually.
Unfortunately with the 20" late 2006 model the card cannot be replaced. Ran hardware test and did not indicate any hardware issues. Finally could not boot from the disc. When I turned on the machine, I could hear fans running and some other noice but only black screen. We back up our computers every hour onto a time capsule.
I purchased a new iMac 21.5 " and thought it will be easy to migrate everything from the time capsule. I done it in the past when I had to replace the hard drive on the old iMac 2 years ago.
Unfortunately when I try to access the time capsule, I received the message of data damaged and now resource temporarily unavailable. How can I retrieve my data? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You will be in deep trouble if the TM backup is corrupt..
Run the verify disk on the sparsebundle.. Pondini has some instructions here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Look at A5
Also there are manual methods of getting as much as possible from the backup if it is not corrupted too badly..
Look at http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
He gives several methods to restore files.. read Q14-17.

Can you stream movies from time machine to apple tv

Can you stream purchased movies from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV?
I have both an Apple TV and an Apple Time Machine. Both great devices BUT my internet connection is not great and apparently, the telephone exchange needs to be upgraded in order for it to improve and right now, the phone company has no plans to upgrade the exchange . So, I've bought movies from Apple TV and have downloaded them (using Apple TV) and watched them. They seem to stay on Apple TV for a few days before they need to be downloaded again if I (actually my kids) want to watch the movie again. Problem is, it takes about 15 hours to download a regular movie due to the poor internet connection. My kids don't have that much patience. I know I can download a movie onto my Mac and stream it from there to Apple TV but that means I have to have the Mac available. Since I work at an office and take my MacBook to use at work, it isn't always there for the kids to get their daily Frozen hit. See the issue I face? Apple TV and Apple Tme Machine are great devices. Can they be used in conjunction with one another?
So, what I was wondering, is it possible to stream from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV, i.e. use Time Machine to store your movies for Apple TV?
Thanks
Philip

No.
Time Machine is an application.
Time Capsule is hardware (what you have).
As suggested, you download them to iTunes and they will work fine on the AppleTV.

Yes but you need a computer running iTunes.
