Can i store or back up my itunes on Time capsule?

can i store or back up my itunes on Time capsule?

You can store your itunes on the TC but you should not.
The Time Capsule has no easy backup method. It is a backup device.. not a NAS.
If the itunes is on a computer connected to the TC and running Time Machine the itunes will be backed up. is this what you mean? You can also make a copy of the itunes but not use it as a main store.

  • Can I store the apps in my iTunes library on an external hdd but keep my music on my mac

    can I store the apps in my iTunes library on an external hdd but keep my music on my mac?
    thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external

    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

    How can I put balance back on unused itunes gift card?

    You can't, once you redeem a card it's balance is transferred to your account, you can't transfer it back to the card. If you've only just redeemed the card and haven't spent any of it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can put it back onto to the card or transfer it to a different account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why does itunes randomly put my music in my trash and how can I get them back into my itunes music list? How can I prevent it from occurring again?

    Itunes has randomly placed some of my songs (it has done this a few times now. Not all of them but at times hundreds/thousands) in my trash and I don't know why this happens. How can I replace them back into my itunes music library? Is there a reason this is happening? What can I do so it doesn't happen again?

  • Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

    Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.  

    The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
    It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
    The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
    Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

    Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

  • How can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? thanks!

    how can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? Just trying to record over it. thanks!

    Reveal  iTunes in GarageBand in the Media Browser like this:
    Use the search field to find your song in iTunes, and drag the song from the m
    Media Browser to a real instrument track or an empty space on the Time Line.
    Or drag the song from the iTunes Application window to the desktop, and from the Desktop into the Time Line in GarageBand. Unfortunately you cannot drag directly from iTunes to Garageband.

  • The HD was recently changed on my MacBook Pro and I lost my iTunes library (Time Capsule also died!) but have all my songs on my iPhone.  How can I copy them to my laptop?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Can I plug my I pad directly into the Time Capsule to back it up?

    I Need to back up my I pad which is now full.  It has over 2500 photos that I need to store else where and have a new time capsule.
    I am not very tech savvy!!!!! 

    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on a computer....or....to iCloud.
    If you have a Mac that is setup to backup to the Time Capsule using Time Machine, then the iPad backups stored on the Mac are backed up to the Time Capsule when the Mac backs up. In this case, you could say that the iPad backups up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
    Please see this Apple support document for more information on iOS back up options:

  • How do I back up music on my time capsule?

    How do I back up music on my time capsule? I want to remove it from my computer because I have too much music to store on the computer. I want to access the music to put on other devices too. What is the best way to do that? I just set up my airport time machine today and have never used one.

    You can move the iTunes library to the TC.. but it has consequences..
    Moving it is the easy part.. Apple have specific instructions.
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - Apple Support
    The problem is the TC is far from ideal place to move the library to.. a USB drive plugged into the computer (USB3 if you have it is very fast.. but even USB2 is faster than TC).
    Once the library is there.. you will have a few issues.
    1. You cannot back it up with Time Machine.. so you must take steps to back it up manually or using a third party utility.
    2. Where are you going to back up to.. a USB plugged into the TC is the worst possible location as any file copy will be exceedingly slow.
    3. The network drive will tend to continually drop out.. and Apple did not design the TC with media extensions.. so it is nothing but a dumb as a board HDD in a router.. it will give constant errors in iTunes that it has lost the library because of the time it takes for the disk to respond to requests.
    4. The best way is to not put your Media library onto the TC at all.. but Good Luck..

  • Can I backup my LaCie Mass Storage device to time capsule?

    I was told at the Apple Store that I could not back up my LaCie to time capsule.  My time capsule shows the LaCie as an available backup device.  Why would this not work?

    Look at the info in the backup..
    http://pondini.org/TM/15A.html
    You can also use software to help you track exactly what is backed up in incrementals.

    Spend some time reading through Pondini.. he has a wealth of info spread across several pages.

  • ITunes sync time capsule

    I wish i could choose the place where my backup files are saved, then I would  choose my Time capsule, avoiding use my macbook`s memory/space. Is it possible??

    It is not possible to back up iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad, etc directly to the Time Capsule.  iOS devices back up to either iTunes on a computer....or....to iCloud if you choose that option instead of backing up to iTunes.
    When the Mac backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine, the backups in iTunes are backed up....along with other backup data like documents, photos, etc., from the Mac to the Time Capsule.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone back up indirectly to the Time Capsule......while they can back up directly using iCloud.
    For more details on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you would like to have a feature that would allow the iPhone and iPad to back up directly to the Time Capsule or another disk, you might want to tell Apple using the link below:

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • Can I add an additional hard drive to my time capsule?

    Can I add an aditional hard drive to my time capsule if the time capsule is near capacity?
    If the Time Capsule is near capacity, will it stop backing up?

    Can I add an aditional hard drive to my time capsule if the time capsule is near capacity?
    Yes
    If the Time Capsule is near capacity, will it stop backing up?
    No, Time Machine will automatically start to delete the oldest backups to make room for new backups.
