Can't access files in Time Capsule in WIN7 64 Bit- says folder is empty

Hi there. I can't seem to access my files in Time Capsule using WIN7 64 BIT, it works fine as a router , i can see the time capsule online and how much space it's occupied, however whenever i click on it , it says folder it empty. I can access the files from OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
I tried to drag and drop new files into the Time Capsule in WIN7 , it copies/paste the files fine for a second and then disappear, and if i go back to the Snow Leopard i can see those folders again , so i am guessing i need enable some kind access/ file sharing option or whatever that allows the files to be visible. Has anyone faced this situation in WIN7 64 BIT ?
Thanks

Can's access files from time capsule

I have a 2TB Time Capsule that is about 2 months old. The wifi works however, when I go to access the files on the drive, the time capsule boots itself off of the network. I use the time capsule to store my musics, movies, and pictures on. Only a couple of gigs of space is being used. I've done a soft reboot on the time capsule and on the ATT uverse box that it is bridged through. Problem still persist. Issue is happening on my macbook pro and windows laptop. Machines can see the drive, back either the files or empty or time capsule goes off line. Any thoughts.

Yes, unless it's been deleted from the Time Capsule, which may happen when it runs out of space. Don't use the backup as a storage place for files you intentionally delete from the computer; it's designed for recovery of accidentally deleted content, and if desired, for use with the Migration Assistant when setting up a new Mac.

Can't copy files to time capsule

I need some help with my new 2TB Time Capsule. I setup the time capsule and did my first time machine backup. Now I want to copy over additional files to time capsule from my full hard drive on my iMac. When I drag files over the following message occurs "The item “FILE NAME” can’t be moved because “Time Capsule” can’t be modified."
I went into my aiport utilities -- opened up my time capsule -- went to disks -- clicked file sharing -- and the enabled file sharing box is checked.
Help! How do I move files to my time capsule.
Thanks in advance

From post above: "Now I want to copy over additional files to time capsule from my full hard drive on my iMac"
I'm sorry for the confusion. My device is called "Time Capsule" --- How do I remedy the error I am receiving?
"The item “FILE NAME” can’t be moved because “Time Capsule” can’t be modified."
This error occurs when I am drag a document from my iMac hard drive to my time capsule (which technically has another name).

Can't add/access files from Time Capsule

I have two time capsules, one that I bought for myself and one that my brother gave to me. For the past couple of months, I've been using the time capsule I bought for myself to back up my imac and I've also been adding video files from my macbook air into a separate folder I created in the time capsule. This method has been working really well for me and I have approximately 700 GB of space left on the the time capsule. However, after I downloaded the Mac OS X 10.5.5 update, every time I try to add video files to the folder on my time capsule, the time capsule disconnects itself after freezing my finder application for about 10-20 minutes. The same thing happens when I try to access the files in the folder. I've been using my brother's time capsule for the time being, but I'm worried I won't ever be able to access these files again. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you,
Sugi

Can't access the internal Time Capsule disk

I bought the Time Capsule a few months ago when I got a 13" MacBook Pro for my wife. The idea was to be able to back up both MacBooks automatically. At 2TB I expected to be able to use the Time Capsule as a NAT to archive some files I didn't want filling up the MacBooks but wanted infrequent access to. Within the last week I noticed that the Time Machine backups had stopped and I could no longer see the TC data disk in finder. I now understand that the TC shouldn't do both backup and archive on the disk. I am trying to "archive" the TC disk onto a 1TB USB drive attached to the TC using the Airport Utility. After 23 hours, 130GB of 681GB on the TC disk has been archived onto the 931GB USB drive. My questions are: Will it ever finish the archive successfully? Is the archived file a bit by bit copy so I can save the files I archived onto the TM disk then erase the TM backups? If I erase the TC disk, will I get it back to a state where I can use it as a strictly TM backup disk for the two MacBooks?

No, reset will not touch the data.. but your TC name or even disk name could have changed and you will need to fix any connection to it. It will also reset passwords which could have been set.. and so you will have to change that.
Mountain Lion seems to be painful in how the finder was setup.
The TC should appear under shared. Make sure you have it turned on.

Can'n access to my time capsule hard drive with my windows vista pc

Hi there,
I just bought a 2T time capsule.
Set up it is ok as my home network and works perfectly.
However i can't access it (reading or writing) with my windows vista pc, it asks me for a username and password.
how can I escape it and have direct access ?
thx

Give it admin as username and public as the password unless you changed the default.
I recommend you load the airport utility for windows onto the vista pc. Bonjour helps windows to discover Apple network devices and access them.
You might also need to turn off firewall in the vista machine. At least make sure it is set to home, not work or public.
In the TC itself using SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
And on the file sharing page set guest account to read and write access.

Can't delete files on Time Capsule

I manually created a folder on my Time Capsule called "manual backups" and dragged some folders/files there. (They were dragged over from an external drive, which had files I put on there from my mac. Not using a pc.) A few weeks later I went to delete the folder and I get "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." I am logged in as myself, the admin. How can I delete these files?

Select the files and fix their permissions.. so you have the ability to delete them..
If you do happen to have a pc on the network.. try deletion from Windows Explorer as sometimes it is a lot easier as windows tends to ignore file permissions.
What OS is actually on the computer??
There are a couple of sneaky methods.. like create a folder of the same name as the folder you are trying to delete.. it seems to be able to create an empty folder over a live one.
No luck with anything then you will need to do it from terminal .. but I think you should tell us exactly what OS you are running first.

Can't find files on Time Capsule

Early 2008 2.4 GHz iMac running 10.7.5
Time Capsule with 699 GB available (connected via Ethernet cable)
When I bought my Time Capsule I added all of my pre-Time Machine backups to it in a separate folder. This worked fine for several years. Time Machine backed everything up and if I need an older file I went into the folder I made of previous backups. Now, when I access Time Capsule I only see the Time Machine backups. The folder of previous backups isn't there. There's still tons of space on it so I can't imagine anything was overwritten. Also, the Time Capusle never shows up like other external hard drives or devices - only as a shared device. Not sure if that has something to do with it. I can't tell when this started. It's been a while so there were a couple of OS updates in there. At this point, I just want to get my really old files off of it and move them to another hard drive. Thanks in advance for your help.

Access files on Time Capsule from remote Windows computer

Is there a way to access files on my Time Capsule at home from a different computer? I often need to get files from my mac at school - which has only Windows computers - and since I have a MacBook that is shut when I’m not using it, the best way would probably be to access the Time Capsule, that is always on and available. I always have a flash drive, so if I need any files or apps I could just add them there, or to my user account at school. I can’t change any settings on the router it is connected to, but I can change any settings required on the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule is set to connect to our wireless network. I have tried to google this, but I couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Isn't it just to turn on static ip in the Time Capsule preferences? As I said, I can change any preferences on the Time Capsule that I have to.
The static IP I am talking about is not private but public.. ie the address the ISP gives you.. unless you pay extra or your ISP has more brains than most.. any IP assigned to you is rotated on an hourly, or daily basis usually. This is to prevent you using using your network as a server on the internet. At least not without paying them more money.. and it helps when you do bad things.. and get banned from a site.. with a static IP that ban is forever.
So Problem 1.
From the internet your address keeps moving around.. how are you going to find it.
Problem 2.
Time capsule does not offer a windows protocol to the internet. Only AFP.. apple file protocol.. windows cannot talk AFP. The Time capsule does not offer any other protocol except AFP and SMB (windows networking).. and only AFP is offered to WAN. SMB is so unsafe if ISP opened the port the world would be flooded with hackers. Because so many windows computers have so little protection.
Solution.. use a Mac. This is apple world.. when you buy one.. you are forced to buy more. There is a reason TC does not offer dyndns client and ftp etc. That would mean you could access it without a Mac and buying iCloud account.. with a Mac and iCloud you can do it easily. Surrender.. they have you on a noose.. struggling just tightens the knots.
Solution.. use dropbox and keep the files you want on the internet.
Solution .. as already mentioned.. replace the TC as the main router.. use it as a file store and get vpn router with dyndns client.

Why cant you access file in time capsule with i pad

Can't migrate files from time capsule, resource temporarily unavailable

My old iMac 20" Intel late 2006 crashed. It got slower and froze as well as lines across, so I thought it's the graphic card. At the same time the SOPHOS Anti virous detected malware and trojan on my computer which was removed manually.
Unfortunately with the 20" late 2006 model the card cannot be replaced. Ran hardware test and did not indicate any hardware issues. Finally could not boot from the disc. When I turned on the machine, I could hear fans running and some other noice but only black screen. We back up our computers every hour onto a time capsule.
I purchased a new iMac 21.5 " and thought it will be easy to migrate everything from the time capsule. I done it in the past when I had to replace the hard drive on the old iMac 2 years ago.
Unfortunately when I try to access the time capsule, I received the message of data damaged and now resource temporarily unavailable. How can I retrieve my data? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You will be in deep trouble if the TM backup is corrupt..
Run the verify disk on the sparsebundle.. Pondini has some instructions here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Look at A5
Also there are manual methods of getting as much as possible from the backup if it is not corrupted too badly..
Look at http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
He gives several methods to restore files.. read Q14-17.

I can't access to my Time Capsule via internet.

Hey, guys,
I can't access to my TC back home after install Yosemite.
My TC is in Taiwan, and I am in China.With OS 10.9, it work fine.
However, it can't link back to my TC now.
Did anyone know to fix it?
Or anyone have the same problem?
My device are Macbook Air, late 2011, and iPhone 5S, mid 2014.

Here is another person with the same issue.. but it came good all of itself.
Time Capsule remote access disabled with Yosemite?
Are you also using BTMM and iCloud?? Then maybe just be patient.. Yosemite needs to reindex all the files on the TC to use them.. and over an internet connection that may take an Age, Two Ages plus half an age.
Your indexes are lost with the install of Yosemite and it will take ages to re-index.

Cannot access files on Time Capsule

Cannot acess files on the TC HDD anymore. The TC HDD appears on the left panel in Finder, but if I doubleclick the disk, the TC drops connection and restarts. Soft, hard and factory resets of the TC did not help.
Last months the TC has always dropped connection or acess to the HDD but a soft reset helped every time.
File sharing in Airport Utility is on.
The TC router works good and I have acess to the Internet as long as it restarts.
Is there any chance to restore my data from the TC? All the media files have been stored there.
Using Lion, TC 7.5.2.
Thanks in advance for your hints

I don't have a guaranteed solution to your problem, just some suggestions:
1) Try powering down the Time Capsule for at least 15 minutes, then plug it in again and see if it works better.
2) If you suspect that heat might be a problem, try raising the Time Capsule to give better air flow below it. I have mine on an inverted plastic-coated-wire basket of the type used to organize kitchen drawers.
3) If AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule, you should be able to use the "archive" function (in the Disks panel, Disks tab) to write the disk's contents to a drive connected to the Time Capsule's USB port.
4) In the worst case, you should be able to access the files on the Time Capsule's disk by opening up the Time Capsule, removing the disk drive, mounting the drive in an external enclosure, and attaching the enclosure to your Mac.

Access files on Time Capsule worldwide

What is the easiest way to connect to my files on my Time Capsule from all over the world? I don't know if I have a static IP, or if I even need one... Neither do I know if DHCP and NAT must be turned on or not. Once it is turned on, light is red...

Set up to use BTMM and iCloud. That is the only method that Apple supports.
Read the instructions.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3486
You can use the TC in bridge.. it might be a little harder to get working but should work.
I don't know if I have a static IP, or if I even need one... Neither do I know if DHCP and NAT must be turned on or not. Once it is turned on, light is red...
If you do not want to use btmm and icloud method, then you need either a static public IP address or you need dyndns so you can discover your IP from anywhere. The TC does not have a dyndns client. So check your main router, and ensure that it does have dyndns and set that up. Then you need to port forward 548 TCP to the TC which means you need to set that up in the network also with a static IP address .. that is controlled by using dhcp reservations on the main router or actually just set the TC to correct IP in the range.
Google search for remote access time capsule or substitute airport extreme. There are heaps of full explanations with pictures on the web to do it.
eg. http://gigaom.com/2009/05/14/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You do not need all the details in there but the method is still correct.
