Can't make copy on time capsule

hi
today i bought 2tb time capsule but i cant not copy file to internal hard drve

You must first mount the hard disk of the TC .. it is a network device.
If you are using finder it may not even show up .. go to finder preferences and make sure you tick all the options for network.

    Just use the archive utility on the disk page of the airport utility manual setup..
    If you have lion and v6 airport utility.. it missed out. On lots of things.

  • Can I make my airport time capsule into ONLY a external hard drive?

    I currently live in Japan and we recently bought a wireless plan through a Japanese company which provides their own modem. You basically connect this modem into the power and WHALA instant internet. It does not allow me to use my airport as router, but I still need to back up all my info since i only have a mini mac which hardly has space, into my time capsule. I really want to keep my time capsule because eventually we will move back to the states and I know i'm going to be right back on it.

    As long as the router has ethernet ports you are fine.
    Plug the TC WAN port into the router and set the TC to bridge mode .. all will be good.
    On the other hand if the ISP has provided you a wireless only device you will find it very hard to setup the TC. It cannot readily join a foreign router (non-apple that is).
    In this case, plug the TC directly into your mini by ethernet. And then use it without wireless. (keep the wireless for your internet connection). You might need to do a bit of fiddling .. I can give more details on how to do this setup. But I must say for now it is probably easier to put the TC away and just buy a USB drive. Faster, and much more reliable using a directly connected drive.. especially if the Mini is 2012 model with USB3 ports. But even USB2 is faster than TC.

  • Migration assistant can't make connection to time capsule

    I have new mbp and new 2tb time capsule....have connection made with ethernet at time capsule to mbp with thunderbolt adapter
    migrating old imac to mbp.....the tme capsule icon shows up in the migration assistant screen..but "looking for other sources" is all it has been doing for 15 minutes....
    what am I doing wrong?

    I don't think it would do that, but you can help it find its way.

  • I've installed mountain lion. Now I can't make backups with time capsule

    Since I installed Mountain Lion on mij Mac Book Pro my Time capsule doesn't regognizes my time capsule

    I had the same problem.
    First see to that you are connected to the same wifi of course
    Start the airport utility and connect.
    Click your TC and you need to login to it to see further details, do that if not done already.
    Now open your TC settings (using the icon in the menybar for example)
    Choose harddrive and remove the one already chosen as backup unit
    Go back and turn off the TC backup on the large ON/OFF Switch unde the name Time Machine
    Now go to finder and connect to your TC
    Find the created failed backup spars bundle and delete it. Might take a while.
    You might have to change your computer name under System settings-> Share to be able to delete the old TC backup.
    Now go back to the TC Settings and choose your TC as the backup harddrive and turn TC back in ON with the ON/OFF Switch.
    Start the backup and enjoy.
    I hope

  • How can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data?

    how can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data and no any data missed during the back up? becz i was backing up my mac to time capsule for the first time and it takes only 5 hourse for 279GB which is doesnt make sense
    any idea, how to ensure that all my data been backed up

    well this tells you why you are having issues.. since you have a filevault and unless you are logged on as that user TM has no way to backup the vault.
    so that is why the backup is so small.
    And you cannot remove the file vault because the disk is too small.. you are in catch 22..
    You cannot backup and you cannot remove the vault..
    Login as the user who has the file vault and copy the files off the computer to a directory on the TC.. Then just delete the files on the computer.. that will then allow you to remove the file vault.
    But never  will I ever use file vaults so I am being theoretical .. please read it up yourself.

    You are not doing the background reading you need to understand what you are doing..
    read the whole of pondini's info.. or at least skim it so you know what is there.
    Avoid like the plague file vaults..
    When disks go belly up, as they always do.. your files will be lost. Somewhere they need to be stored in the clear.. so why bother .. put better security on the computer and forget vaults.

  • Lost the contents of Bookmarks Menue, can i recover it from time capsule

    Mac OS 10.8.3/Safari 6.0.
    items previously in my Bookmarks Menu are no longer lited. Can they be recovered from Time Capsule, If so please explain how? Thank you.

    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

  • I can't connect with the Time Capsule.

    Hello everyone,
    Some years ago, I bought a Time Capsule. Until now, I didn't want to use it as an extern HD.
    So I tried today.
    I am using it for a year now, as main router. Several computers and iDevices are using it.
    Because I had forgotten some things - and I hadn't wrote it down - I decided  to reset it and configure it again.
    Since then, the internet has become slower - and I my Macbook pro can't connect to the Time Capsule's disk.
    In Finder's everything fine. Left, under 'Shared', I can see the Time Capsule as a HD.
    When I click on it, I see: "No Connection". Then I select "Connect As", and I fill in the Time Capsule password.
    It tries to connect a few minutes, but then I get the message:
    "The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
    In the Airport Utility, there's a green light.
    *My firmware has the newest updates
    *I am using Snow Leopard
    *I am using newest update of the Airport Utility
    *Since reset, internet's fine but a bit slower.
    Other Questions:
    *Can I use my Time Capsule for other things than only Time Machine (backup)?
    *Can I divide it in parts? (Backup, User)
    *Can I backup multiple devices on it? (Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air etc.)
    Hope you can help me!

    What actual model is the TC.. the A1xxx number from the rubber base mat???
    As they age they become unreliable. Some earlier and some at 3year mark.
    It greatly depends on the setup of the existing network.
    I would recommend a downgrade in the TC firmware.. as with Snow Leopard there is no advantage to you in the later firmware.
    Go to the airport utility and select firmware update.. hold down the option key when you make the selection and all the previous versions available for your model will come up. I recommend using 7.5.2
    Do another reset of the device. This time a full factory reset.. and start the configuration again.
    Ignore update to firmware requests.. turn off the reminder.
    Set all names to SMB standard. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. TC name, wireless names, hard disk name.
    For wireless I recommend you use wpa2 security with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric.
    Set to manual for radio channels and test 1, 6, 11 in turn for the best.
    Depending on the broadband you use, the TC must be in router or bridge mode.. tell us more if you need help for this.
    If you think the TC is slowing you down, do a test with direct connection to the broadband modem and give us the speed comparison.. direct and via the TC ethernet or wireless.. tell us which though.. wireless will always be slower than ethernet.
    If you have issues still with the hard disk it might need some work.. older models the disk might need to be erased .. please open any time machine backup and run a verify.

    Other Questions:
    *Can I use my Time Capsule for other things than only Time Machine (backup)?
    Yes, but the TC is designed primarily for Time Machine.. if you store files, there is no method in the TC to back up those files.. do not make them the only store.
    *Can I divide it in parts? (Backup, User)
    You cannot partition a TC .. not without removing the disk. You can create a disk image.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    *Can I backup multiple devices on it? (Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air etc.)
    You can use multiple devices with TM. Be aware you need lots of free space for this to be successful. So you need to add up the total you want to backup on each computer.. and at least double it.

  • Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?

    Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?  I thinking of buying my first Time Capsule and wanted to get the new one.  Is it reqiured for me to upgrade my OS first?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can use the Time Capsule with your iMac. The problem is that you need AirPort Utility 6.3 to set up the Time Capsule, and it needs OS X 10.7 or later.
    If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can connect the Time Capsule to the power adapter, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and set up the Time Capsule through it. Then, you will be able to connect to the Time Capsule.
    If you haven't got any other device, upgrade OS X. Open the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow its steps. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, install AirPort Utility 6.3, open it in /Applications/Utilities and follow the steps to set up the Time Capsule

  • After port forward, airport utility can no longer see my time capsule

    I tried to forward public port 1025 to private port 80 on a raspberry pi using  airport utility. But after I did that,  the airport utility can no longer see my time capsule. Wifi still works correctly. Are there any conflicts about port 1025? How to fix that other than resetting the time capsule?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    It doesn't sound like a port that is used.
    From the standard google search.. nope.
    Reboot the whole network..
    No luck tell me what OS version you are running the utility on and what model and firmware TC???
    Note with Yosemite, anything can and will happen.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • How can i use the airport time capsule as a external hard drive?

    how can i use the airport time capsule as a external hard drive?

    Why do you recommend not place things like iTunes libraries or photo libraries on the drive? It was what I am looking for...
    I suggest that you ask the experts over in the iPhoto Support Community about their opinions on placing an iPhoto or Aperture library on the Time Capsule....even if you plan to use a wired connection for your Mac and the Time Capsule.
    But, if Terrence Devlin answers, be prepared for a lecture about why you should not ever do this.
    If you place the iTunes library on the Time Capsule, be prepared for iTunes to give you messages about not being able to find the library.
    In addtion, LaPastenague has the answer for you in a nutshell......corruption problems.
    Bottom line....the Time Capsule is for your backups.....not "everyday" files and especially not libraries.

  • TS2655 imac can no longer find the time capsule to add it...how do i fix this

    my imac can no longer find the time capsule....i had to delete the old network and re add the time capsule to create a new one and now the imac keeps searching for the base and cant locate it

    If you mean that Time Machine can't find the Time Capsule, I'd try using the Time Machine panel of System Preferences to redeclare your backup disk.  If that's not what you mean, please explain.
