Can't access data after name change of account in Time Capsule

I started using Time Capsule (TC). After transferring data to 3 different accounts. I noticed that the process of entering/ connecting to your account takes to much time. You have to connect every time to the account on TC. Because of this I changed the account names in the Airport Utility to shortened two lettre names. Unfortunately with great negative impact!
I cannot access any data anymore. The new accounts are empty although I can see that there is still data on my TC because the available disk has not changed.Changing accountnames looks like you are creating new ones and blocking the access to the old ones.
1) How can I retrieve the data?
2) Can you create a 'super account' which can access all data of all accounts?

How do you reset?
Hi..
What I wrote is my experience.. there is other opinions out there.
See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2280
What I experienced was that applying user profiles over existing files resulted in nothing being visible.
But I am eggs spurt by self appointment only.. test everything.. hold to what is right.. reject the nonsense I will on occasion (unwittingly) spout.
To answer your questions.. press the reset button for 1sec will reset all user profiles to default. A longer press and it will get rid of them completely.. You will go back to default settings.

The no user profile option is device password.. or disk password.. when you press reset it will return to device password.. that is the default.
Try what the reference above suggests.. but in my experience you cannot apply user profiles after copying material and still access it.

  • How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule

    How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule with out a computer

    Really not suitable.. The TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it is not a media server..
    You can move your itunes library to the TC.. but if you do that.. one day the TC will die and take your library with it.. as well as giving slow response to every network device.. this is really not suitable.

  • Messed up Utilities Folder, can't access system info, won't back up from time capsule

    My iMac has 2 harddrives. 250 start up and 1tb  HD2. I was trying to make room on the 250 drive, and moved the Utilites folder to HD 2. Couldn't get system info, so tried moving Utilites folder back. Still can't get info, and there's an empty long bar under the size column beside the Utilities folder, even though the  items in each sub folder have a size reading.   There's a size reading in the HD 2 where I had moved it to.  There are probably other things I have now messed up. Also, when I tried backing up the computer from the time capsule to predate the changes, I got a case sensitive error and it won't restore...what have I done???

    Can't connect to Sonos now that I've switch Time Capsule from Bridge Mode to DHCP and NAT.
    There was a reason why AirPort Utility either configured the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode automatically, or told you to set up the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode.
    Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the Time Capsule on your network.
    If you want to run the Time Capsule in DHCP and NAT router mode, then your Comcast modem/router must then be configured to act as if it were a simple bridge mode modem.  Whether that is even possible is a question for the support folks at your ISP, since providers in general seem to be locking down the settings on the devices that they provide to prevent users from changing the basic operation of the device.  ISPs do this to make things simpler for the their support folks, as you might imagine.
    The simplest and best option......if possible......would be to swap the current modem/router for a simple bridge mode modem.......the kind of device that will have only one Ethernet port.
    The worst option......Double NAT.....is in my opinion not worth fooling with, since it can cause unpredictable things to occur on your network. Sure, some users can get away this setting.....on a very simple home network.....but yours does not meet this qualification.
    Strangely, we have seen some posts from users who claim to have been told by Apple Support to "ignore" a Double NAT error. That is hard to believe.

  • Can i access a external Hard-drive attached to a time-capsule remotely?

    Hello there,
    im sure i have seen this question floating around before but i there are many options to do this.
    i have a 2TB Time capsule and i have a 500gb external hardrive attched through the USB port?
    i am wanting to know if i can access that Harddrive through the Internet and maybe pick it up from school (Outside my home network)
    is this possible and how do i do it?
    My Macbook is running: OSX 10.8.3
    Airport Utility: 6.2
    Thanks
    Tom

    It is possible to share disks to the Internet. You'll need to manage this with the AirPort Utility (found in /Applications/Utilities.) Launch this and select your Time Capsule, and select Edit. Go to the Disks tab. You should see something like this:
    You'll need to make sure that the checkbox next to Share disks over WAN is checked. Click Update.
    In order to access the disk you will need to know the public IP address of the AirPort base station. Select your Time Capsule again and look for IP address. Note this somewhere.
    When you are away from your network, in the Finder go to the Go menu. Select Connect to Server. Where you see Server Address: enter afp:// followed by the IP address you copied down. Be sure there are no spaces following the //. Click Connect. This should connect you to the disk.
    One problem with this scheme is that if your IP address is gotten from your Internet Service Provider by DHCP (most cable modems for homes use this protocol) it may change over time. You can either put up with this, or ask for a static IP address (which costs more) or use a Dynamic DNS set up.
    Hope this helps you. Best of luck.

  • Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

    I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • Can't update apps after name change.

    I just recently changed my iTunes name. I made sure I logged in with it on my computer and did so with no problem. Now I also updated that info on my iPhone 4. I can buy apps with no problem whatsoever, however when I try to update my apps from the app store via iPhone, it keeps asking for the password to my old username and not my new one. Even of I did enter the password for it, it says that it is incorrect. How can I get my phone to recognize my new username for updates. Remember, there is no problem when buying the apps. It asks for the pass to the correct name.

    You will have to call 1-800-MY-APPLE for a resolution. Apple will be able to consolidate the two accounts, but it can only be done over the phone. It's under the [FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37] section for Apple ID's.

  • Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

    Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19

    Ask google and try anyway but not work
    - Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
    - Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
    - Try to update BIOS again

    That is really weird.
    When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

    After upgrading to 11.0.5.5 can't access iTunes store. Temprorarily unavailable all the time. Nothing helps, tried to flash the DNS. Nothing.....

    Same issue.  I emailed apple and they had me call apple.  Not really any help.  Did all the troubleshooting listed and to have further help diagnosing problems it isn't free.  I explained to the rep that I have seen others having same issues - he didn't know anything about.  This is first time I have had problems.  I can't even purchase song on my PC but can on my iphone.  I just would like to be able to access my account.  Afraid to sign out of itunes in case I can't even get to my library etc.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

  • All of a sudden, all I get is a 1" x 1.5" box in the middle of the screen that says Firefox, and Yahoo beneath that. I have deleted and reinstalled, same thing. Help, I can't access Firefox after many years.

    Besides the word Firefox is a reddish square. Clicking on either the word or the box makes it disappear down to the bottom try. I am at a loss. I've always used Firefox without any problems, now I can't access it. I deleted and reinstalled 4 times this morning. Help
