Can't back up to time capsule with Mac OS X v10.4.11

I just purchased and set up a 500gb Time Capsule. I have a PowerBook G4 operating Mac OS X v10.4.11. Is there a way to automatically back up the system with this OS? I understand I do not have the "Time Machine" feature available with Leopard OS. I can connect to the time capsule - so I'm wondering, am I just stuck with manually click-dragging files over to the Time Capsule?

am I just stuck with manually click-dragging files over to the Time Capsule?
No. Any backup product which can see the Time Capsule's drive can back up to it.

    Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?

    Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
    There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
    PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
    iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
    If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method.

  • Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

    Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

    Sure, if the printers connect using the Ethernet port, you have 3 ports on the Time Capsule.
    If the printers connect using wireless only, the Time Capsule will support up to 50 connections.
    If your printers connect using USB, then you will need a powered USB hub. Something like this, for example:

  • How can I back up my time capsule contents to a different hard drive?

    I want to back up my time capsule to a different hard drive so I have that extra layer of safety

    There are a few ways to do this but none good.
    Airport utility will do an archive of the disk.. just open to the disk tab and click archive. The target is USB drive connected to the machine. But it can only do full backup.. no incremental.
    You can backup over network but not using Time Machine.. Carbon Copy Cloner is a $40 software that is well worth it. Super slow though doing this.
    I recommend you backup using CCC direct from the computer to the target.. otherwise you can be backing up the same problem.

  • Can I link up one time capsule with two airport express, Can I link up one time capsule with two airport express

    Hi, I would like to know whether I can link up one time capsule with two airport express. The result why is that I would like to put one time capsule at first floor, two airport express at 2nd floor and 3rd floor. All these three share one network. Please advise. Thanks.

    There are several ways to conenct them. We need to know what it is you want to accomplish first. Do you want better Wi-Fi coverage on the second and third floors or do you want to stream music to the xpresses?

  • HT1178 Can you backup to same time Capsule with PC and Mac

    How do I backup to same Time Capsule with both PC and Mac

    - backup iMac to TC and hook up HD to USB port on TC to backup PC laptop
    Hmmm not better IMHO.. as long as you disk image the TC.. and the amount of space you have far exceeds total usage on both computers.. For the TM backup on the Mac you want TC area to be at least 3x the used space on the drive.. leaving out VM or bootcamp partitions if you use them.
    Plus enough space to back up the PC laptop a couple of times over.
    USB hard drive is fairly slow.. but should be ok for backup over wireless.. just be aware you cannot unplug the USB drive and use it direct unless you format it FAT32 which is very poor format. So first backup is going to be slow.
    - backup iMac directly to HD thru firewire and backup PC to HD hooked up to Airport Extreme
    If you don't already have a TC then this is fine. Firewire local disk is much faster than network backup even over gigabit.
    Any of your options would work ok.. doing disk image on the TC is most difficult to get working and limits the hard disk space. Balance out what you already own network wise with what you need.. there are plenty of routers now with USB ports that will deal directly with windows using NTFS.. if you end up using firewire local disk to the imac..

  • Can't back up to Time Capsule

    Trying to backup my computer but getting this message "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Lisa Liberman's Time Capsul/Stuart Liberman’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."  It is not currently backing up my other computers.  How do I fix it?

    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a full minute
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    This simple reset will solve the problem about 95% of the time. Expect it to occur again, so you will know what to do next time.
    If the simple "fix" does not work, there is more information about this issue here:

  • Using Time Capsule with Mac pro 3,1

    Hello, it's me, JB, again
    I just got my Airport TC 3TB and it looks pretty slick
    however, I'm pretty new to this "Time Capsule" thing
    and I don't have a wireless card or wireless capability (not yet, anyways)
    so, how can I use my Airport Time Capsule to back things up? All I see on the back are a few Ethernet sockets, power and usb.
    I am guessing that I might be able to use the USB for connection. I am hoping that I can use Disk Utility and Time Capsule to back up my borked
    hard drive, so that I can erase and reformat.....but.....I have never done this before. I am hoping that wireless is not my only option : <
    thanks for any help

    Do not buy a dongle device. They are poorly supported in OSX and unreliable. Get a genuine Apple-branded internal airport card.
    But, if you are going to connect to the Airport machine with ethernet, you don't need a wireless card. It will supply all the wireless needs for a significant area and gigabit ethernet is much faster than any wireless connection.

  • Time Capsule with Mac Os X tiger

    I have problem seting up my time capsule to my I-Mac operating with Tiger. The wires seemmed to be ok but i think the cofiguration is the problem
    Any one can help?

    I am also trying to set up my time capsule with my iMac (Mac OS X v10.4.11 Tiger) as well as my new MacBook Pro (Mac OS X v 10.6.2). I think to get the time capsule to work with my iMac, I need to upgrade to Leopard or Snow Leopard?? All the instructions that come with the TC say to use the TC with Time machine I need version 10.5.2 or later. I have set up the TC and am just starting my first back up of my Macbook, which seems to be working ok. My question is, how to get I get a back up going for my iMac without the time machine?? Do I need to go ahead with my first thought and upgrade the iMac to Leopard? Or, would I be able to hook up the TC to my iMac with ethernet cords and keep my macbook wireless to the TC?? I cant seem to find any information on this?
    Thanks

  • Can't back up to time capsule, repeatedly get message error occurred while trying to copy files to the backup disk

    I have just installed a time capsule on my new IMac.
    I have set it up with ethernet connection to my modem and to my IMac
    Every time I try to back up I get an error message about not being able to write files to the backup disk; I have reset it, re-booted it and done everything else I can think of.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on remedying this problem?

  • Can't back up to Time Capsule via Time Machine anymore

    Within the past week or so I started getting messages about my startup disk being full (this is on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8).  Not coincidentally, around that same time I noticed that my TM backups were failing (this is after almost 5 years of backing up without a problem).  After some troubleshooting, it looked like my TC's hard drive was failing and my backups were being cached on my MB's hard drive.
    Anyway, I bought a brand-new 2TB Seagate Barracuda drive and popped it into the TC.  Airport Utility recognized the drive and I was able to erase it via the Utility; however, I'm still having a really hard time getting Time Machine to back up successfully.  I've tried renaming the Time Capsule, changing the password, disconnecting all users, rebooting, etc.  I did manage to get it to backup once (wired) but subsequent backups have failed (sparsebundle cannot be acccessed or sparsebundle cannot be created).  I'm also not 100% convinced that the backup it did is a usable backup.
    The TC is in bridge mode because the wireless portion of it is no longer functioning reliably so I am using it strictly for TM backups. It's connected to my router (Netgear r6300) via ethernet and it had been working fine like that until these recent problems, so nothing about my configuration has changed.
    Anyone know how I can fix this?

    So I rolled the firmware back to 7.5.2 last night and most of the backups ran successfully last night and today; however, when I checked it this morning it looks like at least a couple of the backups were not successful. Here are the logs for the unsuccessful ones (I edited my name out and put John Smith or Johns instead):

  • New hard drive - can't back up to time capsule

    I recently replaced the hard drive in my imac. I successfully migrated all my data etc to the new hard drive. However, i can't back up to the original "backup" on time capsule. Time machined trys to set up a completely new backup for which there is insufficient space. Thus, I need to know how to back up to the existing backup, or. preferably, format the timecapsule disk to creat space and do a completely new backup. Please assist.

    plectical, welcome to the discussions!
    Time Machine / Time Capsule "sees" the new drive on your iMac as a new computer, so that is why it is attempting to back up the entire contents of the drive.
    I don't believe there is a way to tell Time Machine to continue with your current backups, but you might want to check with Apple to confirm.
    If there is not, the best option you have is to erase the current contents of the Time Capsule and start over with a new, complete backup of your iMac.
    To do this, you would go Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Disks Icon (top of pane) > Disks Tab (just below icons)> Erase Disk.
    Once complete, you would need to set up Time Machine again by opening System Preferences > Time Machine and selecting your Time Capsule as the destination for backups and start the process again.
    Allow plenty of time (overnight, maybe longer depending on much data you have to backup) for the first backup and use an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule directly to your computer if at all possible. Ethernet will be much faster than wireless and there will be less chance of errors on the large initial backup.
    Once the initial backup is completed, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will be much quicker.

  • Time Capsule with Mac OS X (10.4.11)

    Does the backup portion of Time Capsule not work with OS X? I have to go out and buy Leopard as well??

    The Time Capsule has no built-in feature to backup hard drives from computers.
    Time Machine is a feature of OS 10.5 therefore it is not available in OS 10.4. You would need to use a different bit of software to make backups to the Time Capsule's drive.

  • Will Apple TV stream iTunes media saved on Time Capsule with mac switched off
