Can I make iPad Security Copies on Time Capsule?

Sorry, I am not sure what a Security Copy might be, but if you are asking about backups, the iPad and other iOS devices back up to iTunes on your computer.
Then, if you have the computer setup to backup to the Time Capsule, the backups of the iPad are copied over from the computer.
So, the iPad backs up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
The iPad can also back up directly to iCloud if you prefer.
See this Apple support document for more details abut iOS backups.

You can use apps such as Skype For iPad from the app store, but if you are asking whether you can make 'normal' phone calls with it then no, you can't.

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.

HT1449 Can I move my iTunes library onto Time Capsule and share it across my devices (similar to a NAS drive)?

Hi
Would anyone know if I can I move my iTunes library onto Time Capsule and share it across my devices (similar to a NAS drive)?
This would give me some hard drive space on my iMac and more importantly mean my iTunes library is available all the time. Although I have Home sharing I need my iMac on and if not I use iTunes on iCloud I always seem to be downloading the tracks I need.
Current configuration / devices:
iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007 - nearly full!
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
OSX Mavericks
Time Capsule (1TB)
iPad
iPod Touch
Apple TV
iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
Many thanks

What "devices" are these? By devices I normally understand i-devices and not computers. How many computers?
If you put the whole library on the Time Capsule (TC) you can only use it with one computer at a time because the iTunes library file can only be opened by one copy of iTunes at a time. If you put only media on the TC but have a copy of the library files on each computer you can use media by multiple computers but you then have the headache of trying to make sure that any changes done to the collection by one computer are mirrored by the libraries on the other computers which will be more or less independent.
I hope this TC isn't also your backup drive. When the TC drive fails (and it will someday) then your whole collection is gone. Don't rely upon Apple to always have copies for you to download. For one, if a distributor puylls an item then it is gone period. Additionally, Apple only keeps media, not the actual organization that is your set of library files. If you do this, buy another backup drive.

I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

WPA security with both time capsule and airport express not working together

I want to set WPA security on my time capsule so that my teenager can not access wireless with out permission but when I add a security key my airport express disappears from list.
I have tried setting a password then the time capsule restarts and when it does the aiport express is gone from list and can not be found when rescanned.
Do I need to set time capsule and then reset airport express by pluggin it directly into desktop and resetting its software?
Thanks

I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue. However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad. Does someone know how?

On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Type the name directly into windows explorer.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

Can I back up folders in my time capsule to another drive?

Hi all,
As well as using my time capsule to back up my mac I have a folder which contains all my media which I then point itunes at. Due to it's size I can't store it locally on my macbook so this is the only place that it is stored so therefore it is not baked up (not ideal)!
What I would like to know is that if I buy some kind of drive (maybe a WD passport drive) can I set my time capsule to back-up the folder that I store my media in to the attached drive?
If this is not possible I am grateful for any other advice.
Thanks

First, make sure that the hard drive that will back up your media folder is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Connect the drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
Time Machine cannot backup the folder on the Time Capsule to the hard drive, so you will need to use another solution.
You can manually copy the folder from the Time Capsule using drag/drop, or better yet use a commercial application like Carbon Copy Cloner to backup up the folder automatically on a schedule that you specify.

Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi?

Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi? I would like to edit my pictures on my ipad instead of my mac mini and have them stored on my time capsule.

Sad that people steal stuff.. and..
Sorry but there is no way windows can recover a TM backup. You have to use another Mac.
TM is uniquely Mac.

How I can transfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule?

how I can transfer my itunes library to my Time Capsule?

iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
But, before you do this, you might want to think about how you will backup the iTunes library that will be moved to the Time Capsule. (Time Machine cannot do this).
Since you will need another hard drive as the target for the backup of the iTunes library, it might make more sense to move your iTunes library to a hard drive attached directly to your Mac.
Then, Time Machine will back up both your Mac...and....the attached hard drive to your Time Capsule using Time Machine.

Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro. If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers? Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

Can you rename backed up files on time capsule?

Can you rename backed up file on time capsule?

You can rename the sparsebundle file that Time Machine has used for the backups of a Mac on a Time Capsule.....if that is what you are asking......just like you can rename any file on a Mac.

My mac can't find the volume" Data" on Time Capsule. Also Ican't find with the disk utility program the hard disk in the Time Capule; so I can't format the disk again. What can I do?

My Mac can't find the volume " Data" on Time Capsule, Also I can't find with the disk-utility program the hard disk in the Time Capusule.
So I can't format the disk in the Time Capsule
Deconnevt and then connecting the power tp the Time Capsule gives also no solution.
What can I do?
Joe

I listed the commands.. that is how you manually mount the disk.. follow exactly the commands I gave you.
In finder use top menu, go, connect to server.
Type in the following.
AFP://TCname or AFP://TCIpaddress (obviously you replace with the actual name or the actual IP address).
If that fails..
try
SMB://TCname
Here is the screenshot.
tardis4 being the name of my TC.
It should then ask you for your credentials.
And it should remember them in the keychain and be able to then get TM to connect.
