Perhaps having iTunes on an External Hard Drive is what you are looking for...

  • HT1178 How can I access the Time Capsule HD from my PC?

    Hi,
    I bought the Time Capsule because I thought it was a easy way of creating a small home network with a shared HD and printer. The wireless setup was easy but everything else doesn't seem that straight forward. I soon found out that I could not just plug my USB printer. You actually need a WPS printer which was not clear in the product description. Anyhow, just need a new printer.
    The main issue for me is being able to share files between my devices (Apple and non-Apple) as well as share the HD. I cannot find a way of configuring my PC or TC so that I can access the TC HD from my PC. Has anyone been able to configure that?
    Thanks

    You can plug a printer in via USB.. but not all printers work.. nor does airprint . but that has nothing to do with the Apple router.. that is how apple designed iOS.
    What printer do you have?
    Getting USB printer working can be tricky because by its nature you are networking a printer designed for local connection.. not networking.
    To share printers and file sharing load the airport utility for windows into the windows computer.. that includes bonjour for windows which is helpful for sharing of apple network devices.. and there is a disk agent.
    That might get you in without anything else.
    No luck remember windows does not work well with the names apple uses by default.. make sure all names on the TC conform with windows networking.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    In windows explorer address bar type
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where clearly you replace the TCname with actual name or the TCIPaddress with the actual IP address).
    If that still fails... then you have firewall issues.. turn off all firewalls in the PC .. there can be several running.
    And make sure the PC is set to home as location . .not office or public.

  • 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.

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • My 7-year-old iMac died. I don't plan to replace it. It is backed up to Crashplan. Is it possible to restore my iPhoto library to the cloud, i.e. iCloud or Dropbox, so that I can access the photos as needed from my iPad or iPhone?

    Probably not - but that certainly does not involve iPhoto for the Mac - you need to look at Crashplan support for you options 
    And iCloud is not a place to store photos so that is certainly not a possibility
    If you restore your masters folder out of the iPhoto library you will have all of your original photos to do with what you please

    How do I set up my time capsule to operate as a wireless hub when it is not plugged into the internet?  I want to be able to share wirelessly the information on the time capsule. thanks!

    I would prefer to answer in your post. as I have tried on two occasions to help.. so far this is the first time I can see you stated  you are using Lion.
    1. Did you download and install the 5.6 utility..?
    I said to do it.. you never said yes.. I did that.
    Please do it. .. you will get no place before you do.
    2. Did you bridge the TC.. ?
    If so it will work perfectly.. please post a screen shot of the summary page from the 5.6 utility. If something is wrong I can work it out from there.
    3. Or ring apple support and get them to walk you through the setup.. there should be phone support for the first week or two.

  • Can I access my Time Capsule over the Internet?

    I want to know if it is possible to access my time capsule Hard Disk over the internet, How do I do it?

    "Launch AirPort Utility and select "Manual Setup". Click on the "Disks" icon in the title bar, then on the "File Sharing" tab. That's where you set your Time Capsule to share as you want."
    OK, checked that last night at home.
    I'm at the hotel now with a good internet connection via ethernet.
    What do I do now? Please provide step by step rather than a general statement.

  • Access the Time Capsule HDD from g and an n network?

    Hi there
    I reckon that this Time Capsule is great idea and I look forward to buying one.
    I have a MacBook Pro (802.11n) and a Windows laptop (with a 802.11g adapter). I will plug a USB printer into the Time Capsule.
    I want both my laptops to be able to access the Time Capsule HDD. I understand that if I want to maximise the connection speed for my MacBook I'll need to run seperate 802.11n network (for my MacBook) and a 802.11g network for my Windows laptop. Otherwise a shared b/g/n network will just run at g speed.
    My question: If I do run the two seperate networks, will both laptops be able to share the HDD and printer?
    Also, will the two laptops be able to see each other across the two networks?
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers

    You're right about the 802.11n PC Card for the Windows laptop.
    Seeing as the 802.11n is still in draft, how will I know if the PC Card I purchase will work with the Time Capsule?
    If is merely a case of getting any Belkin, NetGear etc. 802.11n PC Card for the laptop and assuming it'll work?
    Is there a compatibility list somewhere?
    I really appreciate your help on this one.
    Cheers!

  • How can I view my time capsule pic with my iPad

    How can I view my time capsule pic with my iPad

    What do you mean by "time capsule pic"
    Do you mean pictures stored on the TC?
    The ipad has no ability to access files.. so you need a file app.. there are plenty of them available.. filebrowser is one. What application you use to view files will depend on the format of the files.. google for that.
    The TC has no media server ability whatsoever.. it is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. And should be treated as such.. especially to remember they die.. rather badly and suddenly.. and are difficult to backup should they do so.. it is design as a backup target for TM.. but TM cannot backup a TC or any other network drive.

  • How do i access my Time capsule HD from my PC

    hi
    I have just set up a new Time Capsule, how do i acess the HD on the time capsule from my PC?
    Thanks,
    Joel

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    As the Time Capsule's drive is a network drive, you can access to the Time Capsule's hard drive without any problem.
    In a PC, open a Windows Explorer window and select Network in the sidebar, so you should see your Time Capsule. Just double-click it and you will access to its drive. Also, you should be able to access to it from My Computer

  • Can't access the Time Capsule Drive and attached USB drive

    I bought the 3 TB Time capsule a couple of months ago.  I am using it as my wireless router for a cable modem and have attached a USB drive (seagate) to the TC.  I use the TC drive for time machine only.  It worked well at first, for about the first month.   Now I have trouble accessing the TC drive as well as the USB drive.  The router function works perfectly fine.  The drives show up in the Finder under Shared but  cannot connect.  Time machine does not back up because it says the back up drive is not available.  In disc utility, the base station shows with the correct name, but I can't access it. It asks for a pasword but does not respond, so I cannot reboot it from my computer.
    If I restart the TC (power off and on), it works fine, I can access both drives.  However, this problem recurs, sometimes within a few days.  I have also noticed, which may be related, that when I enter time machine (when everything is working fine), some of the back-ups are blank.  There is a date and time but no actual back-up.  Not sure if this is related.
    I'm runing Mavericks 10.9.2 on an older MacBook, 15" late 2008 with 2.4 ghz dual core.

    Hi Bob,
    I updated Mavericks but still had the same problem, so I did a hard reset on TC, although I held the button for over 5 seconds and the amber light was flashing rapidly, it acted like a soft reset.  Still no change so I rebooted my laptop.   Still had an excellent internet connection but in AirPort utility, the TC is grayed out and says device not found.  Light on TC was amber.  So, I tried a hard reset again, but the light wouldn't flash at all.  Unplugged it and after pluggin back in, acted like a hard reset.  I restored previous settings and it is fine for the moment.  Will keep you posted if it recurs.  Hopefully it will not with updated Mavericks, but I get the feeling the problem may be the TC.
