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 access my Time Capsule from my iPad/iPad2 with iOS5 now? EX: Itunes from iPad to TC folders?

Can I access my Time Capsule information unsing my Apple TV? How about accessing TC info with iPad/iPad2/iPhone4? All have iOS5. Thanks

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

To Operate iTunes from the External Drive...
Start iTunes with the Option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Be Sure the drive is Formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled)

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

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.

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.

Can i use my time capsule to extend my wifi signal without physically connecting it to my router?

I currently have a BT Homehub connected to a modem, which is connected to the ethernet port in my wall (which is downstairs). I bought a timecapsule to wirelessly back up my computer. It is connected via ethernet cable to my router. I have recently been having trouble getting a wifi signal in one room in my house (upstairs). To fix this i was wondering whether it is possible to move my time machine somewhere upstairs, to a location closer to this room, and have it transmit a wifi signal without it being connected to my router via ethernet. And if so how would i go about doing this?
cheers

Yes, if you have an Apple router.
No, if you have a BT router.
IF....your Time Capsule is currently set up to provide a wireless network signal, you could add another Apple device...like an AirPort Express....to extend the Time Capsule wireless signal.

How can I access the time capsule hard drive via ethernet?

I recently bought a new laptop, as my old one was sadly stolen. I'm trying to connect to my backed up time capsule hard drive via ethernet to retrieve my files, but it doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough I have no issues over wifi. When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network. I have a MacBook Air with an ethernet adapter if that makes any difference. I'm also running the latest OS X and firmware. Wifi is simply too slow for this restoration process, so any suggestions?
Could I possibly connect via USB? What kind of cable would that require? Is the ethernet issue a problem with my settings?
Help greatly appreciated

In the Network panel of System Preferences do you have an Ethernet connection item on the left? If not, authenticate if necessary by clicking on the lock, then click the plus sign at the bottom of that column and add an Ethernet item.

How are you doing that switching? When you switch to Ethernet do you have connectivity to the Internet? If not, do you see a tiny green light on the Time Capsule next to the Ethernet socket you're using?
Could I possibly connect via USB?
No.

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.

New Mavericks install. Can't access old time capsule :(

I've been running Mountain Lion since January 2013 and have had my Time Capsule / Time Machine set up since.
I just reformatted my computer's drive to install Mavericks and I forgot to backup my iTunes Library.
I did NOT unplug timecapsule during the whole reformat / Mavericks install process.
In Mavericks, I enabmed Time Capsule and found that I have 2.75TB free of 3TB and that the oldest backup is Jan 2013.
Has my time capsule drive been formatted? my iTunes library alone is probably 50GB.
Is there a way I can access my old Time Capsule backups so that I can restore my iTunes Libarary??

Not looking good.. if there is 2.75TB free hardly any of the TC has been used.. it is unlikely the format changed anything.
Attempt a migration of the itunes..
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
We don't have details of Maverick of course but it should be very similar to Lion or ML.
Other than that then I have to say your chances are slim..
If you are sure the iTunes was backed up and you checked the disk usage before you reformatted the computer and know it was using at least as much space as the hdd in the computer then you could pull the hard disk from the TC and use a software like data rescue 3 to see if there files were deleted..
Did you allow a new TM backup to start.. that could wipe out the original backup?
Other than that.. recovery on the disk is not possible if you reformatted instead of upgrade installed.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I can't access my Time Capsule hard disk.

Just do not mount the hard disc, or the Time Capsule's hard disk or external HDD, but if I can connect to internet through it .. What is it the problem?
A week ago if I could access the hard disks

Restart the TC.. you are most likely using Lion.. Lion has a nasty habit of forgetting where the TC is.
If that fails.. reset the TC and start again.

I can't access to time capsule HD

Hi, I got my time capsule today and I already have internet access, but I can't do backup's...I can't do nothing with the HD. What can I do?
I'm using a pc, and when I click on my time capsule and insert my password, appear:
Unknown user, incorrect password or no network access. Insert again the network access informations or contact the administrator of the HD (67)
( something like that because it is in portuguese )
Thanks

have you tried installing the airport utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/airportutility54 1windows.html

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite on my Mac, I can only configure my time capsule via iPhone. My Mac cannot locate for backup, but CAN find as my internet router. I have followed all suggestions I can locate and have upgraded to newest version.

Time Capsule in Yosemite can be used for router/internet but Mac cannot locate for backups.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Has ANYONE been successful in accessing their Time Capsule via mobileme???

I have set my mobileme user name and password on both of my Time Capsules yet I have not been able to see either one from anywhere other than from within my network.
Perhaps I am missing a simple step but I don't think so.
Just wondering how others have fared with this.
I am using a new and updated time capsule that I just purchased and the other was purchased in September. All firmware updates are done as well.
Thanks in advance to all.

I up dated my Time capsule with 7.4.1 and I can see my Time Capsule with no problems on my mobileme, I have a problem keeping my network up with the new update. The Time Capsule looses the internet and network after an hour or two after the updated and new to be upluged and pluged back in to get the network back and the internet, when go back to 7.3.2 the system works fine by I am not able to see my Time Capsule on the Mobileme, but it does show on my network and I can access on the network, I am asked to update the Time Capsule because it keep opening the update window.
Larry King
PS does anyone else have this problem.

Can i sync two time capsule via WAN?

I want to set up a new time capsul in my company, and i like to know if i can sync them with a time capsul which stands in my house?

Sorry, but no. You cannot sync two or more Time Capsules regardless of if they are remote or on the same LAN. You could; however, operate them as completely separate Time Machine backup destinations.
