Can i parental control all computers through time capsule

can i set parental control on time capsule to filter all the internet in my house?

First, you need to define how you want to restrict this boarder's access.
Do you want to enter a list of websites to prevent him from reaching?
Do you want to stop internet access at certain times of day?
Do you want to limit the amount of data they use?
Something else?
You might not need to buy anything more. How do you get your Internet? Is your cable or DSL modem also a router? Because if it is, you may be able to accomplish your restriction through your modem, instead of your Time Capsule.
My DSL router is very well equipped, so I use it for my router and I put my Time Capsule in bridge mode. When I look at the admininstrative page for my router, I see numerous options for access controls, many more than in Time Capsule. There are blocking lists based on MAC (Media Access Control) address, IP address, time of day, domain name, etc. And if you're lucky, your modem may allow you to apply specific restrictions to individual computers (by MAC or IP address).
So check your cable/DSL modem, study its configuration pages and its manual, to see if it is also a router with extensive blocking capabilities. Unfortunately, as a novice, you might not have a good handle on what to set, where, and how. That's why the first sentence of this post is important: First define exactly what type of restriction you have in mind, then see if you can locate an option in your wireless modem/router that will handle that for you. Then you might have to study the manual and do a little reading on the Web to understand how to do what you're trying to do. You can also ask on the forum for your cable/DSL modem, at dslreports.com.

  • Can no longer get to internet through Time Capsule

    I recently had to give my iMac a static IP address, and no the wifi on my time capsule does not work.
    The time capsule is and has been plugged into my LAN, my iMac plugs into the time capsule and can connect to the internet fine.
    The time capsule has an IP address, has the correct DNS servers, router and domain.
    from my iphone i can connect to the time capsules wifi, but cannot get out to the internet.

    You have an iPhone question here, since you know that the Time Capsule is working correctly.  Try the iOS Troubleshooting Guide.

    If still no luck, I suggest that you post in the iPhone support community so that the iPhone experts over there can help. We are not iPhone experts over here.

  • Can I access multiple USB printers through Time Capsule?

    I just bought a Time Capsule, and I'm loving having my USB laser printer available on my Airport Network. In fact, I'm loving it so much that I'd like to have my USB photo printer available as well.
    Is it possible to have multiple printers available through the Time Capsule connected to a USB hub?

    Bingo! It worked, many thanks!
    I wish I could remember which associate at my Apple Store said it wasn't possible; that he'd tried every way he could think of short of hacking the Time Capsule.
    You've really helped increase the utility of my network, and I appreciate it.
    Happy Holidays!

  • 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.

  • HT2495 I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences.

    I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?
    Thanks,

    You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
    To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

  • Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

    I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
    I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

    Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
    If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
    With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to add/delete music to my iPhone/iPad directly through Time Capsule?

    I understand it is a long shot, but I also feel like Apple technology isn't far off from having this function. Let me explain:
    My MacBook serves me one function: acting as an interface for adding/deleting/editing my music for my devices (iPhone & iPad). It is the only reason why I still have my MacBook, and quite frankly, I'm sick of using it.
    Have we reached a point where I can finally eliminate the need of having this MacBook?
    All of my 500+ GBs of music has already been organized in iTunes (my way). The files are stored in my current external hard drive. My library is visible from iTunes but you can't play songs unless my hard drive is connected. What I currently do in order to swap music, is light up the hard drive and my MacBook, plug in my device and add/delete through iTunes. It is such a grueling process that always takes way more time than I'd like it to.
    My main question: Can you access the contents of your Time Capsule from your iPhone/iPad?

    I understand this might go beyond your understanding but a little input would be great. This isn't really a question, more like an idea:
    Ideally, I would have all 500 GBs of my music on my device at all times. Realistically, this is impossible until iPhone15 is out... so how about in the meantime, there is an app you can download that works in conjunction with hardware you need to buy seperately. The hardware acts as an external hard drive that stores all your music, and the app acts as the interface. All you need to do is connect the devices, and drag and drop with your finger. It seems so incredibly simple. I don't understand why this technology doesn't exist.
    I assume you know more about limitations and things like that. I just wanted to get a discussion going.

  • Wi-Fi connectivity lost, ethernet through time capsule works fine. Wi-Fi adapter broken??

    Weird... I have been using my iMac through Time Capsule.... Wi-Fi set-up works fine for iPod, iPad and Windows PC. Last week I lost my connectivity on iMac temporarily... it re-connected automatically several times, but after yesterday the connection didn't come back. Hooked up my Airport Express for speakers so now I'm connected through Airport Express and Ethernet connector on iMac. What can be wrong here??? Any help is appreciated, and hey, no, the iMac is within Wi-Fi distance!
    Thans a lot..

    Try downgrading your TimeCapsule to 7.5.2 (it proved to solve almost all the problems with Time Capsule). You can check how to do it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1218

  • My Canon MF4100 works connected direct to iMac, but not through Time Capsule

    Hello, I cant seem to get my canon laser printer to work when connected to the time capsule.  It works fine when connected directly to the Mac.  I have downloaded the most recent drivers from the Canon website.  I have tried almost every solution I can find: deleted all printers, reinstalled, installed connected directly to the Mac then try to add through time capsule, restarted time capsule, reset time capsule, etc and nothing seems to work. 
    I also have a PC connected to the time capsule as well and the printer is not visible to add on the PC but I believe once I can get it to work on the Mac the PC will work.  I am assuming I have a printer that is not compatible but it works perfectly well and dont want to spend another 300 on a printer.  Very frustrated please help.  Thanks!

    You need to install Bonjour Print Services on the PC to make it work.
    The MF4100 might not be TC compatible. You might be able to use a powered USB hub with the TC, or use a WiFi print server (these can be found quite cheaply).

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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't see other backup discs with Time Capsule Mavericks

    I've got two Macs and a Time Machine. I can access the 'data' drive on the time capsule on each machine and can back up (both are backing up to 'data'). However if I try to browse all backup discs the window on both machines shows nothing at all.
    It's not a problem at the moment but if I needed to access the data of one computer from another, how do I do this? Is there something I should be fixing now to do this? They are both backing up ok, so the data should be there.

  • I recently changed my internet provider and now I can't access any files on my time capsule.

    I recently changed my internet provider from Bell to Rogers and now I can't access my files on my Time Capsule. 
    When I click on Finder, it shows up as a Shared Drive.  Unfortunately, when I select it, the folder shows up blank.  I know the "Data" folder I'd created is there since Time Capsule is able to backup to it and iTunes is still downloading my music to that folder.  How do I fix this? 
    The wireless network works too since all my devices are able to connect to it.
    Help, please!
