Can I connect my iTouch to the Time Capsule?

I am hoping to connect my iTouch to my Time Capsule, so the iTouch will sync with iTunes via the network.  Is this possible?  I have attached the iTouch to the Time Capsule USB port, but when I open iTunes, my iTouch does not appear.
I contacted Apple Support a few weeks ago about this.  The suprisingly unhelpful fellow said that it was not a Time Capsule issue and that if I wanted help, he could redirect me to the iTouch support contingent.  If he transferred me, though, he warned, I would have to pay a fee because my iTouch was more than 90 days old.
Honestly, I was miffed!  I would think Apple Support would help me connect other Apple peripherals to an Apple peripheral, for the Time Capsule is only 1 month old and eligible for free support.
But enough ranting, any advice?

There are so many ideals in our worlds, aren't there?
Another question you could perhaps help me with.  I am using my TC as an external hard disk as well.  I will want to purchase another hard disk to back up the data on the TC.  A 500 GB disk will do.  Should I get one with an external power source?  Or a plug-and-play?
I tried to do this with an older hard disk drive, but the TC would not recognize it.  I was able to do a back-up by connecting the TC by ethernet cable to the computer and the hard drive by USB to the computer.  But I'd like to get a drive that the TC will recognize and use CCCloner to back up automatically my files on the TC to an external hard drive.  I would like to connect the hard disk directly to the TC via an ethernet port or the ideally-and-sensically-free USB port.
As a test, I just plugged a USB key into the TC, but the TC does not recognize it.  When I plug it into the MacBook, the MacBook does recognize it.  It is formatted as FAT32.  I am nervous about purchasing a disk that the TC won't recognize. 
Thanks again for your help!

  • Can i store my movies on the time capsule and access to watch on my new ipad?

    can I store my movies on the time capsule and access wireless to watch on my new ipad?

    TC is not a media player.. it has no smarts whatsoever.
    If you have an app on the ipad to play files.. then the ipad can play files from anywhere.. even the TC.. but the TC contributes nothing. Do not move your itunes library to the TC.. that is asking for trouble.

  • Can I create a network where the Time Capsule gets its internet connection from my iMac?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a Time Capsulebut I'm having some problems with it on my university network. It is an Eduroam network, so each computer has to authenticate before it can get an Internet connection – I can't use the Time Capsule normally as it is unable to authenticate to the network. However, I'd like to be able to create a smaller network in my room (with my computer and iDevices on so that I can use Remote and stuff, as well as to potentially get my Xbox and Kindle,which can't connect either, online).
    Last time I did this, I had my iMac create an internet connection which it shared with everything else. (This was before I had the Time Capsule.) One way of solving it seems like it might be to share the Wifi internet connection with the Time Capsule through the ethernet, and then the Time Capsule can share the interent to everything else. Would this be possible? Or can you think of any other way that this could be done?
    In other terms, I have an iMac, a Time Capsule, an iPhone and iPad, a Kindle and an Xbox. Only the iMac can connect to the internet and I'd like them all to be able to, as well as being on the same network. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    DropBox is another possibility for sharing files and it is free for the first 2GB of storage.

  • WRT45G: can only connect one pc at the time to internet, cannot login to router setup

    Hello,
    I don't get this. The complete network worked fine for ... years? After a call with the ISP about a general/different issue, we can now only connect one pc at the time to internet. (We were asked to take out cables and we've put them back).
    I've been trying and searching for an answer for hours.
    problem:
    We can only connect through the router to internet with only one pc at the time (the first pc we connect after starting up the router).
    Also we cannot get into the setup menu of the router at 192.168.1.1
    We've been trying to reset the modem for 10, 30 seconds.
    Auto resolve IP/DNS. DHCP is enabled.
    I also remembered that I pushed the SES button, it turned from orange to flashing bluish. I never knew aboutthis function, nor it is mentioned in the manual I downloaded. Now this SES indicator is off.
    Also WLAN and DMZ led are off.
    I downloaded EasyLink_Connect.exe, went through the setup. It recognises there's internet connection, but stops and says: cisco does not support this modem.
    Temp. replacing this WRT45G modem with another one did not resolve the issue.
    I have no clue what went wrong, what we did wrong, and how we can resolve this issue? Please help! Thanks

    2.  I do have another router, when I try that one, the problem we have remains. So that's a bit strange to me. That one is supposed to be working.
    Does this SES function configure anything other than the modem? So, does it alter PC configurations? I have no clue.   We even start to wonder whether the ISP is able to set up their internet in a way that unables us to make use of a router? That would be ridiculous

  • Can I stream things directly from the time capsule to my AppleTv without using my computer?

    I have an older MacBook and I'm worried about the storage so I want to get things moved to a Time Capsule.  I was just wondering if I can stream things directly from the Time Capsule to the AppleTV without having to store them in iTunes on my computer and play them off of there.

    You cannot stream from a TC .. it is not a media device.. you can store movie files on the TC but you still need to run the computer to play them.
    Depending on how you connect this can cause dramatic slowdowns.
    A WD Live TV can play raw movie files from a TC.. because it is not a media streamer which is all the ATV is, it is a full media player.

  • How to connect my iMAC to the time capsule(with cable)?!

    I bought the Time Capsule Machine and I tried more than 8 times to do the backup.
    Always it takes some days and doesn't finish. So, I thought maybe the problem could be the connection without cables. But I don't know how to do it, I tried without success.
    Thank's

    Thank you for helping me, but I already tried and didn't work... Maybe I put it on the wrong place, but if I did it, I really don't know where is the wright place...
    There are 2 different kind of place to put on the time capsule and only one on the iMac... I tried both!
    Thank you again

  • How can you retrieve photo's from the time capsule(airport)

    Hi
    I recently had a problem with my mac and had to archive my stuff and put the operating system back on my computer.
    I 'lost' everything however I have been able to get some things back from the time capsule (airport) from previous backups. I can not find my photo's and they are the most important things I want back on my computer.
    Can anyone help? I have tried various things but still can't find them.
    thanks Lorraine

    If you did an Archive and Install, look for your "Previous System" folder and check for iPhoto in it.

  • Can I create pic folders on the time capsule

    Can I use the time capsule as a remote hard drive and create my on folders fir remote storage of pictures?

    Can I use the time capsule as a remote hard drive and create my on folders fir remote storage of pictures?
    While it is possible to store data other than Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule disk, it is not really recommended since you are taking space away from Time Machine for backups.
    If you have plenty of free space, you may be OK. But.....if you store your images on the Time Capsule disk.....you will not have any backups for them, correct?  When....not if....you have a problem with the Time Capsule drive, you will lose all of your images.
    A much better and safer plan would be to add an external USB or Firewire hard drive and attach it directly to your Mac. Then, Time Machine will backup both your Mac and the external hard drive. So, you have "originals" on one disk, and "backups" on another disk. If/when one drive fails, you still have copies on another drive.

  • Can I backup my laptop on the time capsule that is currently backing up my iMac data?

  • Can't connect iBook (802.11b) to Time Capsule wirelessly

    Hey:
    Just got my new Time Capsule--so far it's very cool; set-up was easy, my backup is progressing, and network set-up went well.
    Only problem is connecting my iBook to it wirelessly. I've had no problems connecting my MacBook or Windows laptop; both use 802.11g.
    I can see the network in the menu bar and in Network control panel; the authentication is set to WPA Personal by default. I'm entering the same password I used on my MacBook and Windows laptop, but I get the error:
    "There was an error joining the AirPort network "<network name>."
    I've tried setting it to WPA Personal and WPA 2 Personal, but no luck.
    Any clues?
    Thx!
    -m-

    Okay this is where I am at so far.
    Time Capsule - wpa personal - sharing IP address:
    Working - PowerBook, daughters old iBook, hubby windows xp laptop, wii, ps3, iPod touch
    Not working - iMac, xbox360
    The iMac doesn't bother me that much because its the first generation flat panel and its slow but I use it for an animal rescue I volunteer for and my banking, so its kind of a good excuse to finally get a new iMac.
    The xbox360 however is annoying me BIG TIME. And I don't think its time capsule. I googled high and low all afternoon and night and from what I can figure out it will only take succesful wpa or wep settings from a router other than anthing not apple. And I am not going back to a non secure hidden network like I was before.
    So tonight the next step is moving my cable modem and time capsule downstairs to the xbox and plugging the xbox directly into an Ethernet port.
    I will post tomorrow if that worked.

  • Can I setup a folder on the time capsule for sharing between computers not on my network?

    I'm wanting to be able to share files between family members that don't live in the same household. How would I set up a single folder on my Time Capsule so everyone can use it as a shared network drive between Windows and Mac systems, with security?

    No.  Your Mac will mirror the folders on icloud.com.

  • I want to set up the time capsule. I have a D-Link router for WiFi to laptops. Do I connect the time caps to the D-Link or in place of it? thanks

    You've posted to the iPhone forum rather than the Time Capsule forum, but to save you some time, you can either replace your D-Link with it since it is a wireless N router, or you can set it up on your LAN as an additional wifi router with its own unique SSID.  If you do the latter, be sure to connect your mac to the Time Capsule rather than your D-Link so it will support your Time Machine backups.

  • Can the time capsule function as a SAN that a pc can attach to

    I am working with a new client who is running both a Mac and a pc and using a Time Capsule for connectivity.  I know the time capsule will back up Mac devices and serve as a 'print server', but can it also function as a SAN type device for file sharing. He is also running Win7 in parallel for an app that required windows.

    TC can function as a file server to windows..
    You need to setup the TC to use SMB compatible names.. ie short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric. If you use wireless then both the TC name and the wireless name must comply.
    Also ensure you use have bonjour for windows loaded or better still the airport utility for windows.
    Set the file sharing section to correct workgroup can sometimes help.
    Also ensure you have correct access credientials.. or at least turn on read and write access.
    Remember .. there is no backup of files stored on the TC.. it is a backup device itself with no automated backup. There is a very slow manual full disk archive. That is all.

  • HT1145 I am setting up my Time Capsule for the first time, all of my connections are right but, AirPort is not recognizing the Time Capsule or my network!

    I am setting up my Time Capsule for the first time, all of my connectiions are correct but, AirPort Utility is not recognizing my Time Capsule or my network?

    Try connecting your iMac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable to see if that allows AirPort Utility to "see" it.
