Can I backup my iPad with Time Capsule

I have recently set up my new TC and need to know if it can be configured to automatically backup my iPad. I rarely use anything other than my iPad.

No. An iPad cannot backup to a TC. iTunes backs up the iPad. Time Machine will backup your iTunes folder and all other relevant folders to the TC.

  • How come I can't see my ipad with time capsule?

    When on my macbook pro and having the time capsule, i don't have visibility to my ipad on my mac? Why?!?!

    What visibility are you wanting??
    If the ipad has internet via the TC, then it should be able to backup to itunes in the computer.. otherwise the computer will not really see the ipad at all.. it is not a network share.
    The file structure of the ipad is deliberately hidden.. and therefore it does not see files on a TC or computer.
    You can load a filebrowser app into the ipad.. but that will still not enable the computer to see the ipad.. it is still not a network resource.. AFAIK.. I don't have ipad.. so check what you are trying to do with the more like this on the right.. or in the ipad section.

    How can I Bkp my Iphone with Time Capsule?

    No, you will have to re-create the playlists manually on the computer.  Did you somehow delete your iTunes Library and the content that exists within that library?  If you attempt to sync the phone with an iTunes Library that does not have all the content that the phone has, then the content on the phone will be replaced with the content from the computer.

  • Can i use existing airport with Time Capsule

    i have already bought an airport, but can i use it with Time Capsule  OR do I need to buy the $299 Time Capsule wireless hard drive?

    If you are telling us that you have already bought an AirPort Extreme, and that you want to connect a USB hard drive to the AirPort and use that for Time Machine backups, this is not officially supported by Apple.
    Some users seem to be able to make this work, while others.....like me....who try this have nothing but problems.
    To be officially supported, you need to connect a hard drive directly to your Mac for Time Machine backups or use a Time Capsule.

  • How to Sync iPhone/iPad with Time Capsule (wirelessly)

    Hi - I am wondering if there is way to sync my iPhone or iDevices with Time Capsule wirelessly.  Please let me know if there is and how?
    Thanks in advance..

    The iOS devices....iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc.....sync to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud.
    See this Apple support document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    It is not possible to sync iOS devices directly to the Time Capsule.

  • How can I disable SSID broadcast with Time Capsule?

    I have always disabled the SSID broadcast with other devices. It is a big help with securing the networks. Can this be done with Time Capsule? If yes, please tell me how.
    Thanks.

    I have always disabled the SSID broadcast with other devices. It is a big help with securing the networks. Can this be done with Time Capsule? If yes, please tell me how.
    You can by turning on hidden network.
    Open the airport utility .. click on your TC, and then edit.. go to the wireless TAB. Click on wireless options. Click Create hidden network.
    Let me add in modern world.. it is totally useless. A person can see your hidden network using any standard wireless analysis software. It adds no security at all.. and WPA2 Personal with a decent password 10-20 characters mix of upper and lower case plus numbers is still solid.. add more characters if you are paranoid.. but honestly hiding SSID does nothing.
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28653/debunking-myths-is-hiding-your-wireless-ssi d-really-more-secure/
    If you did not know it is not part of the IEEE wireless standard.. it therefore often leads to problems with clients.
    There are many other reasons given in the article above..

    Can you be more specific ?
    Where do you send the WOL from? Another computer? From the same network? How are each machines connected ?

  • HT3728 Can't get my initial backup to work with Time Capsule...get the following error: An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)

    I linked up my Time Capsule yesterday and my initial backup failed twice. I then hooked up the Time Capsule to my iMac with an ethernet cable and now it won't work at all....can anyone help us out? Getting frustrated with this "easy" stuff!!
    Thanks.

    Let me guess.. you are using Lion.
    Redo the setup but download and install 5.6 utility if indeed Lion is involved.

    Use SMB names for wireless and TC.. this helps..
    Short, no spaces pure alphanumeric..
    Set and lock the wireless channels.

  • How do I use my iPad with time capsule

    I would like to download and upload from my iPad to my new timecapsule?
    However, I can only access the wireless and settings by using the airport utility...
    Please help

    You might want to take a look at an App like FileBrowser for the iPad to do what you want with the Time Capsule.
    App Store - FileBrowser - Access files on remote computers

  • How can i connect plex app with time capsule

    i have a time capsule 2TB and iphone 5s and ipad mini 2
    i stored all my movies on the TC and i can acces them by imac and apple tv
    i just bought plex for ipad and iphone and don't now how to connect to TC
    i want play these movies by ipad by plex connected to TC but don't know how to
    please help

    i just don't know to acces the TC with the plex app i tried several thing like port forwarding but can't figure it out
    The plex app is a client.. you must be running a plex server in your network..
    https://plex.tv/ios
    Since the Apple Time Capsule cannot host any media.. since it has no media extensions it is impossible to support plex server on it. You must run a plex server on a computer or intelligent device.. TC doesn't rate as it is a fixed router with nothing to help you.

  • How can I play MP3 files with time capsule on a stereo set?

    Hello,
    Can anyone offer ideas/suggestions how to play my mp3 files (itunes) from a Time Capsule device? I use a plain Philip 5.1dts set. I would like to be able to select music with either my iphone, ipad ir macbook.
    thanks, Anton

    You will need to add an Apple - AirPort Express to be able to stream your iTunes data to your amp/speaker setup.

  • Can't backup new macbook to time capsule

    I bought a new macbook pro and when connected to time capsule/time machine, it doesn't rotate out the oldest backups (which are from my older macbook pro that I want to keep using and keep backing it up too!).   So, with my new Macbook Pro, it tells me I'm out of space?
    Can I backup more than one macbook pro to the capsule? This answer has to be YES.
    How do I change the settings to direct the time capsule to rotate out the oldest backups?

    The new macpro cannot use the old backup.
    I suggest you archive the old backup to a USB drive and then erase the TC and start over. Otherwise it will not have enough space.
    I think you need to read up Mr Pondini to understand what why and wherefore of TM.

  • How can I backup NAS drive to Time Capsule using Time Machine?

    My itunes library is on a USB HD that's connected to my time capsule, essentially turning the drive into a NAS drive. Is there anyway I can include this drive in time machine backups? So basically, time machine would be backing up the hard drive connected to the time capsule... to the time capsule.
    Thanks. Steve

    Sorry, but not possible. The Time Capsule can only backup an internal drive on a computer and an external drive that is attached directly to a computer.

  • Can you backup to 2 different Time Capsules?

    I have a TC at home and one at work. Can I backup to both?

    Yes, you can do this, but you must manually point your computer at the Time Capsule that you want use to each time you change locations.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Click Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Highlight your Time Capsule
    Click Use for Backups

  • HT4623 can i backup my iPhone to time capsule

    Can you backup an iphone 5S to time capsule

    Not directly. However, you can backup your iPhone to iTunes, and, if you have Time Machine enabled, the iPhone's backup in iTunes will be backed up to Time Capsule.
