Can I back up a PC and a Mac using the same Time Capsule?

I'm trying to set up a PC and a Mac to backup on Time Capsule, but can't seem to get the PC to back up.  Does anyone know if it is possible.  My Mac works fine but I would like to also back up the PC.

I haven't tried it, but Genie Timeline Pro claims to be able to backup to the Time Capsule.
You might want to take a look. Contact the Genie folks to verify on this.

  • Can more than one MAC use the same time capsule??

    My husband and I both have 27" imacs.  Since he just had a hard drive failure, I'm worried about my machine, and we'd both like to start backing our computers up.  Can we both use the same hardware to do this?

    Just make sure you have TC big enough to backup both macs! the final storage will be bigger than the disk space sum of your both macs as there will be incremental backups and snapshots in time going back!
    Otherwise your TM app will scream bloody murder that you are runnign out of space  as mine does :-)

    On being prompted to create a new back-up on my Mac by Time Machine I lost a year's worth of back-ups.   The crazy thing is tht on my ProBook I still have them even though it uses the same Time Capsule, which to mind mind they are still there on the Time Capsule.   Has anybody else had this experience or has any suggestions how I can retrieve the info on my Mac?   Any help gratefully accepted!  Thanks

    You might find useful advice on this Web page: Time Machine Troubleshooting, particularly item C13.
    The crazy thing is tht on my ProBook I still have them even though it uses the same Time Capsule, which to mind mind they are still there on the Time Capsule.
    Not necessarily.  Each Mac using a particular Time Capsule has its own set of backups that are independent of those of any other Mac.
    Has anybody else had this experience or has any suggestions how I can retrieve the info on my Mac?
    Why are those backups so important to you?  My advice is to move on and live without them.

    Another question. How do you turn off the ATT wireless transmitter? Also, there are more computers connected to the 2Wire network. I will have to set up a wireless pc to work with the Base Station after disconnecting the ATT transmitter. Easy answers for both, I hope?

  • Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds.  i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

    using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds.  i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

    Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can I use the same Time Capsule to backup two MacBook Pros?

    Basically, I want to know if I can backup my late 2009 MacBook Pro and my new one with retina display using the same time capsule? Maybe should I create different partitions on the time capsule?

    Yes, provided your backup drive is big enough. For a Time Machine backup your backup drive should be at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. In the case of two drives sum the capacities of the two drives. Be sure you backup drive is at least twice that capacity.
    You cannot partition a Time Capsule drive.

  • Can external HD connect to PS3 and Airport Extreme at the same time?

    I currently have a external HD connected to my PS3 to play vids. Can I connect a AirPort Extreme to that HD at the same time to wirelessly drop files on the HD to play on the PS3?
    Thanks

    Most likely, no. How do you propose that you would connect this drive to both devices simultaneously? Via a USB hub?

  • Can you pair with an iMac and an iPad at the same time?

    If you have an iMac and an iPad, is it possible to pair the same Apple Wireless Keyboard with both of them, rather than having to buy two Wireless Keyboards?

    I've kind of found an answer to my question, but I'm not totally satisfied. Basically, yes, you can use one Apple Wireless Keyboard with an iMac and iPad, but obviously not at the same time.
    To switch the Apple Wireless Keyboard over from working with the iMac to working with the iPad, you first have to "Disconnect" the keyboard in System Preferences > Bluetooth. This frees up the keyboard, making it available for the iPad to access.

  • Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

    im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

    The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
    If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

  • Can you play music to wireless and wired speakers at the same time?

    If you have Airport express, can you play music on speakers plugged into the airport express at the same time as you play from speakers attached to your computer?
    Thanks

    Yes you can. In the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes main window there is a drop down menu. Select the AirPort Express base station(s) you'd like to send your music to and also select 'Computer'. Not only will it play through all, it will play IN SYNC!
    I can't remember with which version of iTunes this was introduced, best to grab the latest version to be sure.

  • How can i connect to a LAN and external display at the same time using the mini-displayport?

    Hi all,
    At work i'm connected to the Lan via an adapter and the mini displayport. I want to use my external display at the same time, which use the same mini displayport. Are there any splitters available to use both at the same time? Are there any other alternatives?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    There are USB to ethernet dongles:

  • How can i sync my iPhoto Library to 2 macs using the same Apple ID?

    Hi,
    I have 2 mac book pros (1 in the office and 1 at home) and I have all my photos saved on my office mac iPhoto Library. Is there a way I can sync both iPhoto Libraries? I will be using 1 Apple ID or account for both macs.
    Thanks

    What do you mean by "Sync".
    The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
    This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
    You can have uni-directional copying - files in Library A are copied to Library B - this is essentially backing up. Obviously you can also copy from Library B to Library A. So, if all your Photos are on Machine A then just back it up to machine B.
    The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus associated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interrupti​on.

    I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
    So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
    So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
    I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
    So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
    period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
    So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
    Here is a new algorithm.
    1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
    2) I read value from In Port
    3) If I acquire a period
    i= i+1 (another period)
    4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
    acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
    file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
    Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
    Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
    values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
    5) Back to 2 if not stop.
    Thank you very much for helping me.
