Can I back up my LaCie and mbp on my time capsule
Hi to you all
I have a MBP and am backing it up on my time capsule. Works perfect.
Now i have bought a LaCie external hard drive for my photos.
Can I use my time capsule to back up both? (MBP and LaCie)
There will be times that I make backups having the LaCie connected to my MBP and times that its not..
Is that a problem?
Thanks for your time to help me out.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course, but make sure that your external disk is formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If not, Time Machine may refuse to back up your external drive. Apart from that, your MacBook Pro and the external disk will be backed up.
It doesn't mind if your external disk isn't plugged when a Time Machine backup is being made. In this case, only the MacBook will be backed up, and the external disk will be backed up the next time you plug it in

Can I back up my Mac and my pc to the same external hard drive? If so, could you explain how? Thanks. I am a new user with mountain lion.
You could partition the drive into 2 partitions. One formatted as HFS+ for Mac OS X back, and one formatted as NTFS for Windows backup.
You would have to move the drive from system to system to do your backups. If there are 2 systems, I would suggest just getting separate drives for each, unless they are both laptops, then you will be disconnecting the drives all the time anyway.
Unless Windows is running in a virtual machine on your Mac. Then a partitioned drive would be fine. -
How can I back up my files and photos on my iPhone to my iMac?
How can I back up my files and photos on my iPhone to my iMac?
You can back up the iPhone to your Mac with iTunes.
Make sure, your iTunes version is up to date. Connect your iPhone to an USB port and launch iTunes.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you want a separate folder with your photos, download the camera roll contents by connecting the iPhone to USB. You emac will see it as camera and you can download the photos using Image Capture to a folder on your Mac, or using iPhoto or Aperture to your photo library. -
How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto to an external HDD
How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto, so I can reformat my computer and restore the files in these two programs? I have an external, but its not big enough to create a time machine copy of my HDD. I have an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am also running Windows 8 via Parallels and I would prefer to keep this partition in tact, but if thats not possible I'll re instal that program.
Some how Mackeeper and a couple other shady programs have been installed on my computer and what I want to do is reformat my computer.You could drag the iPhoto and iTunes folders to the external drive and move them back later.
However, it might be easier to just remove MacKeeper and other adware.
See the post by John Galt in this thread about removing MacKeeper.

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. -
Can I back up more than one mac to the time machine:
Can I back up more than one Mac to a time machine? I have a laptop and a Mac Desktop computer can I back up both on the same Time machine
Absolutely.
However, quoting from ASC contributor Pondini's excellent Time Machine FAQ:
It is advisable, though, to partition an external disk that will be connected to your Macs into one volume for each Mac ... -
I have saved a lot of videos from my tube app but my ipad is crashing and I was told to back up my ipad and reset but last time I did that , it didn't save my videos and I am scared I will have to redownload my videos individually again ...anyone know another way to save these videos?
Save the videos to your computer. There must be some way to do it. Read the documentation that came with the app or go to the app online support. Perhaps it uses iOS file Sharing.
If it is this app, it states in the description that you can transfer the videos to your computer via USB or WiFi.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tube-downloader-pro-free-video/id586168976?mt=
I have have an app called Wireless Transfer App. It allows me to send photos and videos to and from the iPad and computer over WiFi.

If that is not the app that I reference above, post back with the exact full name of the app. -
Since Installing a new hard drive on my 2008 macbook and reconnecting to to time capsule through time machine, I can only get backups since the install.
I receive a message saying identity of backup dis has changed and offers me the choice of either Don't back up or Use this disc.Time Machine treats any new drive like a new computer. It starts a completely new Time Machine backup. So you now have two backups - a new one and all your old ones.

I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there -
How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.
The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network. -
How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express
how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly. -
Can cisco router support OSPF-TE and ISIS-TE same time for CSPF to compute a TE LSP? I may need to run both IGP in parreral.

Can cisco router support OSPF-TE and ISIS-TE same time for CSPF to compute a TE LSP? I may need to run both IGP in parallel.
Hi Johnny,
Per my understanding you can. It is equivalent to running 2 IGP and installing the entry in RIB table based on administrative distance.
