Can I watch video files stored in time capsule on my wireless tv

I'm looking to buy a time capsule because I store all my movies on hard drives that are wired into my entertainment system and it's time to clean it up. But first I want to know if I can use the time capsule as a main memory hub that all my wireless devices can access my movie and music collection.

This is always a hard question to answer.. I have no idea what format your movie and music collection is in.. nor what media player or TV you have.
But if it is iTunes library .. a TC is worse than useless.
It has no media extenstions.. it is a dumb store.. you will need a computer running iTunes to stream the file to the TV or media player.. and that means all files are double handled (if stored on the TC) and if you use wireless will possibly cuase major issues with movies stuttering. Also TC is not able to backup itself, so any files placed on the TC will not be backed up and Time Machine cannot backup network drives. So you have a major issue with keeping the library alive.
If you mean standard movie files.. the TV must be able to read raw movie files.. most cannot.. they need DLNA extensions.. remember TC has no extensions.
You can play raw movie files if you use a real media player.. eg WD live TV but the other conditions still apply.. no backup.. potentially slow and much more difficult to use than a USB drive plugged straight into the WD live TV. WD even allows the USB drive to be shared to the network to load movies directly onto it.

Access files stored in Time Capsule via iCloud

how to access files stored in Time Capsule via iCloud

Yes, you can remotely access files in the TC..
Did you read the apple instructions and do them??
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
It does depend on the main router being upnp or NAT-PMP capable.. so the best is if the TC is the main router.. otherwise you may have to manually forward the ports.

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 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!

NVM: Found out all I had to do was reboot my Macbook Pro.

Can I recover deleted file stored on Time Capsue

I have been using my time capsule to store movie files, and I inadvertantly deleted the folder. Is there any way to reover these files. There is no backup
Thanks

If there have been no backups at all since the time that the files were deleted, you might be able to retrieve them with a commercial program like Disk Warrior.
http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software/dis kwarrior-review.html
Other options include having a data restoration firm try to retrieve the files for you, but this is a very expensive proposition....with no guarantees, of course.
If any backups have run since the file deletion, some or all of the data has probably already been overwritten, or Time Machine has moved files around on the disk, making it next to impossible to get at the right data.

How can I view the files on my Time Capsule without using Time Machine?

In the past Time Machine was backing up to a regular external disc and I could view the files easily. I'm new to the Time Capsule and not sure this is possible as I can't "find" the Time Capsule disc.
Thanks for any tips

The Time Capsule's drive appears as a network drive, so it doesn't show up as an external drive.
To access to it, first make sure you are connected to the Time Capsule. Then, open a Finder window and you will see the Time Capsule's drive in the sidebar, under "Shared". Select it and you will be able to access to the files stored in the Time Capsule

How can I access the files on my time capsule?

I bought this thinking it could be used as additional storage, like a hard drive only wirelessly. It appears to be functioning as backup but I don't know how to access the files to see if it actually is. Any advice? When I click on time machine in the finder it just takes me to a folder that says Data with no entry for date modified. Yet elsewhere it tells me it has been backing up every half hour or so. Whats the deal?

You do not access the backup file store directly.. you access it via Time Machine.. the files are not stored in a way you would directly access anyway.. all files are stored as a backup in a very complex structure.
Read Q14-17 on how to use restore to get files out of the TM backup.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
If you want to access files on the TC, copy them directly to the TC .. don't use backups as a method of access to other devices.

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.

File search on Time capsule doesn't seem to work anymore ?

Hello,
I have my music files stored on time capsule. and I have a backup on a USB drive.
When I search for a certain word as part of the file name, the search on time capsule returns very few entries now, in some cases zero.
However searching on backup for instance returns over 500 entries. The files are available on time capsule and they play via iTunes,
but since I installed Lion, the search doesn't find them.
what is wrong?
thanks for any help!

If you do not have Finder open to any folder or are not using iPhoto or Mail, this is normal. With no apps open, you are at your desktop. Hence, if you click on the Time Machine icon, your desktop is what appears. Don't drag stuff onto your desktop. That's totally unnecessary. Try again with Finder open.

Using Time Capsule with existing wireless router

I am thinking about getting a TC, but I wanted to know if the following configuration would work:
DSL modem to existing wireless B router. Then have the TC recieve internet from the existing wireless router.
Basically I want to put the old router in the basement where the only wiring is, but put the TC upstairs on my desk so I can connect the printer to it.
Thanks!

Although, you can join an existing network using a Time Capsule as a wireless client, it’s recommended that the existing network is an 802.11n network.

how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert. If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here. Google.

Can I watch video through my iPhone and TV at the same time?

Can I watch video through my iPhone and TV at the same time while using the Apple composite video cables? I am planning a trip in my car and would like to play videos for my kids through their video screen while my wife watches on the iphone from the passenger seat. I didn't want to spend $50 to find out it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't work that way, sorry. When video out is being utilized, only the movie artwork (the cover or image) is displayed, and the actual movie is not displayed on the iPhone's screen.

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.
