Can I back up my iPad 3 to time capsule?

Dani backup my iPad 3 to time capsule? Also, can I move my photos from shutterfly to time capsule? Thank you.

The iPad (and iPhone) backup to iTunes on your Mac. Then when the Mac backs up to the Time Capsule, the backups are preserved that way.
Or, you can backup the iPad to iCloud.
See this Apple support document for details:

Cannot answer on your photo question. Suggest that you ask Shutterfly support if it is possible to copy files to a shared network drive.

How can I back up external hard drives to time capsule?

I own an iMac and have two external drives hooked up to it. I also have a time capsule. Is it possible to back up the external drives automatically or manually to the Time Capsule?

I don't think Time Machine would work, but SuperDuper! (to a disk image on the Time Capsule) or Retrospect, or another backup program could do it.

Import directly to time capsule

i'm looking for additional hard drive space for image storage. Two questions. Is it possible to set up time capsule as a stand alone hard drive? and can aperture be configured to import directly to time capsule?

Short answer: what Frank said (cross-posted my answer). Read below for, essentially, the same conclusion -- or better spend you time shopping for a good FW drive.
Hi Brad. You can use any drive for storing Masters. Apple recommends -- and users concur -- that the drive should be directly connected to your computer (this rules out NAS). Iirc, the Time Capsule can be configured (partitioned) to function as both a back-up drive and as a storage drive. So you can do what you want. But note that it should be wired to your computer (not wireless), and the connection should be at least as fast as FW400. Also, since this will be a Referenced Masters set-up, you should be familiar with how that works.
Aperture imports files and puts them where you tell it to (or leaves them where they are). If you have configured your Time Capsule (or part of it) to be storage, then you can tell Aperture to store your Masters there.
I recommend, however, that you leave your Time Capsule and as is, and scrimp together enough money to buy a FW800 external drive and dedicate that to storing your Masters. You are outgrowing your storage (and backup) capacity -- this trend will continue. Giving up some of your back-up capacity in order to convert it to storage capacity is only a stop-gap measure -- and the effort to do so is likely not worth the short-term gain.
Photography today, and Aperture today, demand a lot of hardware. Storage is inexpensive -- buying what you need is almost always is a worthwhile strategy.

HT1414 My backup became corrupt. I had to erase it. Now, I can't back up my iPhone! HELP!!

I am unable to back up my phone. I purchased a new phone and some how the old phone and the new phone's back ups merged or corrupted each other. After restoring the old one, I was unable to back up the new one. I searched online for a solution. I was told to delete the corrupted back up. I did. Now I still can't back up my iphone 4S. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

A couple of things to check:
Go to settings, general, use side switch. Is it set for rotation lock or mute? If mute, slide the side switch the other direction.
Double tap the home button, slide the task tray to the right, check the volume level there and the rotation lock icon on the left.

Can't back up my iPhone???

Hi,
So I am trying to back up my iPhone 5.
I have an old laptop that is rather useless - my iPhone was originally backed up to this about a year ago.
I now really really need to back up my iPhone again as have completely run out of storage and want to secure my photos.
My old laptop seems to have deleted iTunes!!!
My new laptop correctly says that my iPhone has never been backed up to this computer but then when I want it to back it up says it can't back up my iPhone because previous back up is corrupt and I must delete the previous back up??? Which makes no sense!
Really need to back it up because I have no storage, want to secure the photos I have on it and haven't even been able to download iOS 7 yet because of the lack of space!!
Any help appreciated!!

You can import the Photos and videos following thie article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083.
Also, if you use iCloud and the Contacts option is turned on in Settings > iCloud, your contacts should be saved. You can make sure by going to icloud.com and viewing them. Any purchases, if you can use itunes in other ways besides to back up, Trasnfer all your purchases, and any songs, videos, apps, etc can be trasnfered to iTunes to be sycned back to the device. Check yoru iCloud storage though by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage and back up > Manage Storage to see as well. You may have to uninstall iTunse and re-install iTunes.

HT4946 Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer. I deleted pictures from my iPhone and added then to the ipad, but now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?

Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad. I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not? Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

HT1766 Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected?

Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected? My daughter thought she had backed it up, but hadn't and she already has her new one turned on. She has thousands of pics and contacts she wants to put on the new one.

Hey elena68
You can as long as it still works powers on and can get to the Home Screen. Just follow the steps outline in the article below to get that taken care of.

HT201269 itunes can't back up the iphone because an error occurred

itunes can't back up the iphone because an error occurred????????? HOW CAN I FIX THIS THANKS

Well I think most people here are having a power issue and NOT a software App problem. I was suffering the same problem and after exhausting every possible conflict tisuue I went and read the specifications on USB ports from V2 to V3 So I suspect it's because slowly Apple has increased the demands on you USB power port and therefore the extra "amp" draw is causing the Apple error message.
If you're using an older Mac or PC with USB 2.0 you are probalby having the your iPhone drop out when ask to back up. So here's the solution upgrade your system with a USB card, or buy an old fashion "Y" splitter that take 2 USB ports and merges them into one. This was used many years back when Hard Drives were USB powered but one port wasn't enough. So they gave you these "Y" cables that did the job.
Now Apple does STINK for not being more forthright with this informaton letting many suffer this problem. I love my iPhone 5 but it'll probably be my last Apple product. I just don't understand why you're asked to pay so much more and little things like this get buried and kept from it's users.
So that's what fixed mine... I hope it helps you all.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, or if it isn't an option, the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.
