Can't connect Samsung WIFI cell phone to Tmobile using Airport time capsule

I am using Tmobile for cell phone service and Comcast for high speed internet. I am unable to mske a WIFI cell phone connection. I get Tmobile ISP errors. Talked with Tech support from Apple, Tmobile and Comcast.
Took the phone and the time capsule to the local Bridgeport apple store. They managed to get the connection up and running with my router. My phone also worked with their store network. We had to open UDP ports 500 and 4500 both ways and also IP protocols 50 and 51 both ways on the time capsule to make it work.
With the same settings, it does not work at home using Comcast.
Help is appreciated.

I still can't use it the way I was hoping because it then becomes a T/M back-up disk and not a normal usb/firewire disc.
You are first mounting the drive on the desktop, correct?
Not sure what you mean here.
You can drag/drop files normally or copy/paste files to the drive icon on the desktop, just as you would a normal drive that is displayed on the desktop.
Or, double click the drive icon on the desktop and drag/drop files into the open window there.
Tell us the steps that you are using to mount the drive on the desktop. What happens after each step?

  • WiFi Printer not being found on AirPort Time Capsule

    Hi, I have an older HP Officejet 6500 that works fine via WiFi.  I recently bought an Airport Time Capsule for Time Machine backups and a better wireless router (version is 7.7.3).
    Suddenly, my WiFi HP printer, which is connected to the Airport Wireless Router, can't be found by any of my macs, iPhones, or iPads.  I had no problem printing from any of these devices when the printer was connected to my previous wireless router.
    I've searched and searched this evening for help and can't find any solutions.  I've tried resetting, checking for firmware upgrades, unplugging the printer and router.  No luck so far.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Desperate in Texas!!!

    I suggest deleting your existing printer from System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, and adding it again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    After you do that you will need to add the printer again according to the instructions here:

  • Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?

    Can I use airport time capsule with a hotspot network?
    Very very poorly..
    It can join a wireless network..
    See instructions here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5719954?tstart=0
    End result is super slow wireless connection to the TC and all packets pass through the hotspot so expect internet to drop to nothing while you are backing up.

  • Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

    It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
    What you need is a home media server.
    Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
    https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
    For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

  • I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

    I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
    Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

  • Using airport time capsule to create an internet connected network from pre existing wifi network

    i bought an airport time capsule for college. I bought it to create a network for my dorm room so that I could take the pre existing wifi from the school and make my own mini network that I can hook my other stuff up to. Problem is that I don't have an ethernet hook up in my room so the network would have to be created from a wifi network rather that a ethernet hook up. Is this still possible? Alternate suggestions? I am afraid of either the college network blocking users from communication with other devices via the wifi, or the fact that my printer would be on a huge network for all to screw with.

    Is this still possible?
    NO, it won't work. Apple only works with apple.
    Alternate suggestions?
    I am sure your college has rules about not running your own wifi networks.. but anyway.. that is up to you.. the Apple TC cannot turn off 2.4ghz which would be handy.. so the only way to do this following the rules is ethernet. You can run a full network standalone on ethernet. And still use wireless for internet.
    If you want to use wireless standalone this is also possible but you need to connect a second wifi USB dongle your Mac so you can have two networks at once.. You can use an express to connect to the college wireless and bridge that to the TC by ethernet.. then use the TC to create your own network.. since you cannot turn off 2.4ghz I guess how long the College IT people take to track you down should be hours. If you could just use 5ghz it would probably be ok.

  • Can I connect both a printer and a hard drive to time capsule using a usb hub?

    since there is only one usb port on a time capsule, can i connect a printer and a hard drive using a usb hub?

    You can use a USB hub if you need one to connect an external drive and a printer. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How to share internet connection over wifi to an ethernet decive using airport express?

    Hi i have a device that it can only be connected to the internet via ethernet in a diferent room (and far) where my primary internet connection is. I have my network configured like this: cable modem >>>  connected via ethernet >>> to airport time capsule >>> connectes via wi fi >>> to airport express last generation "n" >>> connected via ethernet cable to device. The problem is that i'm not having internet conection in my ethernet connected device. Anyone know if I have to configure something in some special way or if i'm doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    Guido

    It should work fine..
    To figure this out, check if the Express is connected by wireless properly and getting an IP.. you will see that in airport utility.
    Make sure you are set to either extend or join the wireless network. The Express should then pass an IP to the "device".
    No luck start over.. reset everything to factory.
    If the TC is older model use 7.6.1 firmware.. it works much better for extend wireless.
    Use short names.. 2-20 characters no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Then set the Express again in extend wireless mode.
    It is pretty easy in v6 airport utility. Look at the posts from Bob Timmons on how to extend wireless.. he must have answered those question a thousand times in the last few years.
    Here is one I did. https://discussions.apple.com/message/24161378#24161378

  • Using Airport Time Capsule with an external usb hard drive - how to connect

    I have 2TB Airport Time capsule which is connected to my iMac by an ethernet cable and which I use for T.Machine backups - No problems here.
    I have an old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8  and which is also connected to my T/C via wi-fi - again no problems.
    But I understand I can use an external hard drive via usb cable connected via a powered hub, to the T/Capsule and which I wish to do certain backups from my MBP (I have no wish to update the MBP as it runs certain apps no longer available on the iMac (10.9.2)
    Now the problem I have is trying to set it up,  the MBP has Airport Utility 5.6.1 and I can’t continue as it says I need a newer version. As I see it,  the newer version doesn’t work on the MBP only  the iMac.
    A catch 22 situation. If I continue and and go to “manual setup” then try  update, all I get is “correct the problem before updating”  (Allow setup over the internet using Bonjour).
    Anyone have any ideas or images that I can view to try and get things going?
    I should add that I wish to use my external hard drive not as a time machine backup but only for certain items using say, Super Duper, but am unable to get the disk to mount on the MBP

  • Why do I get an error message "can't install software on this version of Mac" for Airport Time Capsule? On Yosemite?

    I Bought a new Airport Time Capsule and need to download the Utility software before I can set it up. When trying to install the software, various versions tried, I get a message that it is not compatible with this version of Mac. I run Yosemite on my Macbook. Which version of Time Capsule Utility should I download and install?

    You don't need to download and install anything.
    You already have the most up to date version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.

  • MacBook Pro loses connection to Internet after sleep using Airport Time Capsule

    I recently upgraded to Mavricks and then added a new Airport Time Capsule, and now I my MBP will not connect to the wireless LAN after waking up from sleep mode.  My MBP worked great for over a year with an non-Apple router, so I am thinking that there is a new Apple computer-to-Apple Router issue going on. Any thoughts, suggestions?
    I read all the threads and have followed all the simple advice, such as making sure the Airport is at the top of the network priority list, etc, to no avail.  I end up having to reboot my MBP to get reconnected, which is super frustrating.

    Hello ghesser,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro after setting up your Time Capsule.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommed reviewing the full article and specifically the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

  • How to connect a printer to a wireless connection using airport/time capsule

    How do you connect a Cannon MP620 printer to the wireless network with my time capsule/airport?  It was set up before but I've had to redo all the settings with a new Time Capsule and now the printer isn't working.  Can't remember how I set it up before.  Didn't seem that hard back then.
    Thanks!

    So you plugedd the printer into the time capsule usb right?
    You need to re-add the printer in the system preferences one more time because the location has moved.

  • Connected to WiFi with iPad but no internet because time capsule setting

    Hi,
    I have this material configuration
    a sisco modem/routeur  connected via ethernet to an AirPort Extreme connected via ethernet to a TimeCapsule.
    since i have a fixed IP  the modem/routeur and all the AirPort are in mode bridge.
    So I have a strong network all over my place.
    I can connect my MacBook Pro to the TimeCapsule via WiFi, everything works perfectly.
    But if i connect my iPhone/iPad to the same Wifi network, i get connected but have no internet
    Why does it work on Mac but not on iDevices

    >> The TC plugged into the ISP cable, must be in router mode.. there is no choice there unless your ISP is giving you not just a static IP but a block of IP addresses.. are they giving you a block??
    single IP my Gess, can't ask today because this is a day off because Eastern
    So The TC plug into ISP cisco/router wich a cable that go into the Express in the desk. done.
    Done the setting on the TC
    here is internet
    here is network
    On the Express, network is in mode bridge so nothing to see
    But this is internet
    and.... it didn't work, can't see the computers linked to the TC from the Express
    my ethernet newtork between the 2 AirPort dont exist anymore
    best regards

  • Can I use airport time capsule 2tb the same way as an external hard drive

    I would like to know if I can use it as I would an external hard drive by dragging certain files or folders over to my Mac computer and not just as a backing up device. Where as I would only be able to completely add all files and folders without a choice of particular ones. Can anyone please help me. I would like to purchase it but don't know if I should just go with a simpler external hard drive. I do like the features of the airport but  I have noticed a few reviews of people claiming they were not able to select one folder to add or remove. Thanks for the help!
