Can I format my time capsule 2TB to ntfs to use it on a PC and mac as an online HHD?

Hi, I wave a 2TB Time Capsule and a net of 4 macs and 1 PC I need to use the Time Capsule as an online HHD but it is on fat 32 format, its any  way to re format the disc to ntfs to can save files larger than 4GB? and still use the Time Machine functions
Thanks.

The TC will already save windows files.. AFP format should accept files larger than 4GB now. As a network drive the format on the TC is irrelevant.. it offers SMB to the network and that is all that matters.

  • Can i format my time capsule's hard drive from fat32 to exFAT

    can i format my time capsule's hard drive from fat32 to exFAT. and why shd mac make a harddrive fat32 knowing final cut will not recorgnise it

    The internal hard drive in a Time Capsule is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and can't be changed to another format without taking it out of the case.
    Unlike non-network drives, it'll appear to Windows as being FAT32 out of the box but isn't subject to the 4GB file size restriction.

  • HT1178 Can i install the time capsule fixed on the wall, using  it stretched

    Can i install the time capsule fixed on the wall, using  it stretched?

    Not sure what you mean by "stretched", but the Time Capsule can certainly be wall mounted. Apple sells the wall mounting brackets:

  • Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

    Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

    Yes, but the issue is the IP address. If you have a static IP from your ISP it is easy.. Or if you use another router with dyndns it is easy.. but Apple make it exclusive to their network so you can have loads of issues without a computer to function as a client for dns.
    Look up remote Time Capsule access .. there is plenty of info out there.

  • Can i connect my time capsule to my hdtv for use as an extra display for my mac book pro?

    I want to use my hdtv as a display wirelessly.  Can one connect their time capsule to the tv?

    1. Can my TC handle "dual band" wifi or not? As it's 3 years old, I'm not sure the spec is sufficient.
    They have been dual band since gen2.. yours is gen4 or at worst gen3.
    2. Is the TC likely to provide better performance than the BT Home Hub router, as the Apple store suggest?
    Impossible to say.. but easy to test.. simply plug the TC into the BT router in bridge mode and use it with setup to create a wireless network.. that is the way I would suggest anyway.
    3. Will the BT wifi extender still work if the TC is the main router? BT aren't sure, hence asking here.  "Trial and error" will take hours and because of the wifi issues in my house, can be frustrating.
    Sorry this is out of my perview.. I can suggest it will be poor.. apple do not use standard settings for extend wireless.. and if it is universal repeater they also behave poorly.. Have you thought of using EOP adapters.. very popular in the UK and tend to work much better than wireless.
    4. Would the BT wifi extender communciate with the TC or the BT Home Hub router?
    As suggested above.. leave the BT as the main router and plug the TC bridged into it.. you can then use both..
    simply set the wireless names different and keep the channels apart.
    For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels.. 1, 6, 11 or 13 as alternative in UK.
    For 5ghz there are lots more but the lower channels work better.. so 36-48 depending on regs in the UK.

  • Can I have two Time Capsules in the same network, use one as Time Machine and other to expand network?

    I need to purchase a divice to expand my Wi-fi network. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme, but a friend has a brand new Time Capsule for sale. So, for the same price of the AirPort Extreme, I´m getting the Time Capsule.
    I already own one and using it as Time Machine and wireless router. If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?

    No
    Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?
    Yes. The important thing to remember is that the "extending" Time Capsule must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your "main" Time Capsule.

  • Can't get the Time Capsule to load on PC using Windows 7

    How do I restart Time Machine? I had a temporary Wi Fi Internet connection, but now the front light just flashes amber, and no Wifi and it it doesn't recognize the Time Capsule even after I did a reset. Do I restart from scratch?

    Time Machine is backup software on a Mac computer not the hardware item, Time Capsule.. which is merely a hard disk inside a router.
    Plug the computer directly to the TC by ethernet. Set the wireless manually to a fix channel and use different wireless names for 2.4 and 5ghz so you know exactly what it is connected to.
    When you change the wireless name (ssid) and it should then show up in the computer list of wireless networks.

  • My computer is macbook white with iOS 10. 6.8, will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and what does it mean administrate the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

    my computer is macbook white with Mac OS X (10. 6.8), will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and work properly with Time Capsule on my computer to back up wirelessly?
    And what does it mean "to administrate" because it was written in requirement of the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

    You must use a Mac running Lion (10.7.5), Mountain Lion or Mavericks to be able to set up the Time Capsule and make any changes to the settings.
    A recent version iPhone or iPad could also be used for this task.
    From the Specifications on the Time Capsule:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3

  • Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

    Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
    I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
    Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?

  • I have reached full memory capacity on my 500GB Time Capsule. I am considering purchasing a 2TB Time Capsule. Do I need to resave all existing data on the new hard drive or can I start afresh? Or can I link both time capsules to operate independantly?

    Hi,
    I  have reached full memory capacity on my 500GB Time Capsule. I am considering purchasing a 2TB Time Capsule.
    a) Do I need to resave all existing data on the new hard drive or can I start afresh?
    b) Or can I link both time capsules to operate independantly?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    You may not need to buy a new Time Capsule. 
    You can connect a USB drive to the Time Capsule, and use it in addition to the TC's internal HD.  You may need a powered USB hub as well.
    Exactly what is on your TC?  If it's only Time Machine backups, you may not need to do anything -- Time Machine will delete the oldest backup(s) automatically when it needs room for new ones.  But if you have more than about 250 GB on your internal HD, that 500 GB may not be large enough to keep backups long enough.
    If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, besides your backups, you could back up to the external HD and use the internal for the other data, or vice-versa.  But TM backups cannot "span" two drives, and you shouldn't mix backups and other data on the TC's internal HD.

  • Can someone explain to me what an apple time capsule 2tb is?

    so i have the new Xinfinity wireless router and i needed a 2tb hard drive and i don't want it to be wired to my mac, i want it to be wireless.
    so can someone please explain to me what it completely is, and is it useful for my needs?

    i needed a 2tb hard drive
    There is a 2 TB version of the Time Capsule....also a 3 TB verion if you need more storage space.
    i don't want it to be wired to my mac, i want it to be wireless.
    The Time Capsule would be wired to your Xfinity wireless router. 
    Your Macs could access the hard drive on the Time Capsule using the Xfinity wireless network.
    is it useful for my needs?
    Yes, if you want to back up the data on your Macs over your Xfinity wireless network.

  • I have a new mac book pro and and older MAC desktop.  Both are backing up to my time capsule but it is close to full (1TB).  If I purchase a new time capsule (2TB) can I bridge them or access both and back up to it still from both computers?

    I have a new mac book pro and and older MAC desktop.  Both are backing up to my time capsule but it is close to full (1TB).  If I purchase a new time capsule (2TB) can I bridge them or access both and back up to it still from both computers?  If so how do I do this?  Thanks in advance.

    If you add another Time Capsule, you can have one or both Macs backup to that new device.
    However, please note that it is not possible to have backups "carry over" seamlessly from one Time Capsule to another.
    If you add a new Time Capsule, each Mac that is backing up to the new device will make a new complete backup and then backup incrementally after the master backup is completed.

  • Can i use the time capsule 2tb as a internet provider without having internet access?

    Can i use the time capsule 2tb as a internet provider without having internet access?

    Nope, the time capsule is a router, but it will still need access to the outside world (Internet) by way of a modem.

  • Can the time capsule 2TB be used as more memory

    Can the time capsule 2TB be used as more memory or is it just for backing suff up?
    Can you wirelss transfer video and music to your iPhone or iPad without using the computer?

    You can use Time Capsule as a 'simple' external harddisk, but keep in mind that the fastest connection with the TC is Ethernet which is slower than FireWire800 for example.
    Currently iTunes and a USB-connection is needed for syncing an iPad or iPhone.
    With the "PC Free" feature of the yet to be released iOS 5 (this fall...) this might not be needed anymore.

  • I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?
