Can the TC be used as a external desktop HD?

I was wondering if the TC can be used as a external HD so I can free up space on my computers HD?

It can be used as an external disk but always that you aren't using it with Time Machine. In this case, you will have to use another external disk to store the files.
The Time Capsule doesn't appear as an external disk but as a network disk, and you can access to it opening a Finder window and selecting the Time Capsule in the Finder sidebar, under "Shared". Then, you will be able to copy the data you want to it

  • Can the B520 be used as an external monitor for a macbook via the HDMI in?

    Hi,
    I'm very happy with the Lenovo, but it looks like our family will be acquiring a macbook in the near future.  Can I use HDMI in on the Lenovo B520 so that it becomes an external display for an apple computer?
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank you very much for the help. Now if I could only figure out why the Lenovo B520 doesn't see my apple airport extreme network anymore. I guess I'll have to post separately for that one. It was incredibly fast and now it doesn't connect at all. Thanks for the help on this. I need a mac for access to iBooks Author. Silly (and expensive), but true. Thanks again!

    Not yet, but in an interview with Steve Jobs that I read about on macrumors.com, he hinted that this would be a future option by software update.

  • Can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop to use files on the airport?

    can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop and use files on the airport time capsule?

    If you mean an AirPort base station other than the Time Capsule, it doesn't have internal storage.
    If you mean a Time Capsule, its internal drive can be used for regular file storage but shouldn't be; as with all drives, it'll eventually fail. You're better off using a standalone drive and setting Time Machine to back it up as well.

  • Can the iPad be used as a sketch pad?

    Can the iPad be used as a sketch pad?

    Not exactly, it doesn't offer the fine control, it's a touchscreen.
    You might be better served with a Wacom graphics tablet.
    http://www.wacom.com/
    Here is the sketch pen for the iPad, notice how thick the end is?
    http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/BambooStylus/BambooStylus.aspx
    The graphics tablet and pens are much finer and thus allow for more detail, but require marrying to a computer.
    Depends upon your need. Fine or casual sketching. If you can work with constantly zooming in/out on the iPad's small screen.
    You can't rest your hand on the iPad screen neither, if that's a issue or not.
    If you wait, touchscreen iMac's are likely coming out down the road sometime.
    This would offer the best of both.

  • Can the TC act as a regular external drive or does it only backup what you have an your computer?

    Iw ant to use the TC as an external hard drive, can it do that?  If so, how easy is it?

    Iw ant to use the TC as an external hard drive, can it do that?
    The Time Capsule was designed for Time Machine backups of a Mac computer.
    You can use it as a regular hard drive, but access will be quite a bit slower compared to a drive that is connected directly to your computer.
    It might be OK for storing regular files. I would not recommend that you store music or video files for everyday use on the Time Capsule, but you may get varying opinions on this.
    If so, how easy is it?
    Takes a few minutes to configure the Time Capsule using the guided set up in AirPort Utility, assuming that you have a Mac. Setting up a PC to work with the Time Capsule is lot more complicated if you want to back up the PC files.

  • Can Time Capsule be used as an external drive but not a router

    Greetings,  I have a spare 1TB older Time Capsule that I would like to give to a friend who would like to use it as an external hard drive w/time machine.  They currently have a current iMac with Comcast internet and router which they would prefer to continue using for internet access.  My question is: can a time capsule be set up to be used as an external backup drive without using the router capability.Thanks for any advise.

    My question is: can a time capsule be set up to be used as an external backup drive without using the router capability
    Yes
    Connect the Time Capsule to the Comcast router using a wired Ethernet connection from a LAN port on the Comcast router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule and set it up to create a network.
    Then, go back in using AirPort Utility and turn off the wireless function on the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule will operate as  "bridge" in this type of setup, so it will not perform as a router.

  • How can the number of used computers used for itunes be updated? I had to reinstall itunes on a new hard drive

    How can the number of computers used for an iTunes account be updated? I had to reinstall itunes on a new hard  drive it and counted as an additional computer, against my 5 total computers.

    wait until you reach the limit of five authorized machines. then, once a year, you will be able to deauthorize all machines, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.

  • Monitoring the memory being used by an external process

    Dear All,
    I was just writing to enquire whether there was a method of monitoring the size in memory of an external program being called via the Runtime.exec() method. I am trying to submit a program to a cluster and as I have no access to the source code of the program I am submitting I need some way of externally monitoring it's size and I was wondering whether this was possible in Java?
    Thanking you in advance

    Thanking you in advanceYes it is but you can only monitor Enviroment specific to JAVA.If you need a solution you might look into JMX,java.lang.managent & java.lang.instrument pacakages and their is a tool called JConsole.
    try to google to get more smart results.
    Hope that might answer your question :)

  • Can the Groupware connector use XI to communicate with CRM2007 ?

    Hi,
         Can the latest CRM groupware connector be used to connect to SAP CRM2007 using XI
         instead of communicating directly with SAP CRM2007?
         The current system landscape regarding the exchange server and CRM systems is such that
         it would not be feasible to connect the connector directly to the CRM server.
        Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Sunil

    Sunil,
    Well technically if you make XI talk the same language that CRM talks to the groupware connector then your scenario is possible.  Now the problem would be knowing the "format" of the communication that comes out of CRM to the groupware connector.  If you can figure that out, then you could probably custom build the scenario you are talking about.
    I'm just not sure if you will get any type of positive ROI by doing this method.  Personally it just looks like something that would be costly and probably something that you will not get a lot of support.  It might be easier to keep "one" CRM system that talks to groupware.  Then that CRM distributes the data back from the groupware outbound to XI and then in XI you can send back to CRM.  You could do the reverse where your CRM system feeds it to XI and it sends it to the CRM groupware connector system, which then feeds the groupware.
    It involves a few more hops, but elminates the needs to figure out the SOAP protocol building between XI and the connector.  You can then "hop" on the standard middleware adapter to distribute changes outbound using XIF plus XI and evenutally wind up in the groupware.
    The drawback is one of your CRM systems, needs to have at least a global view of all business partners and activities.  Which might not be desired by your business.
    Take care,
    Stephen

  • Can the IPAD be used as a monitor to view photos from Camera?

    I do a lot of underwater photos and video.  I would like to use use the IPAD to review the days shoot while on the boat, in the hotel or on the plane.  I would rather not download all of the photos to the IPAD--although I do have the Lightning to SD card.  Is there any way to simply view photos and videos from my camera or the SD card without downloading?  You can do that on a TV--why not on an IPAD?   

    I believe you can do that.  When you first plug in the SD card using the Camera Connection Kit, I believe you will see on the iPad all the photos on that SD card.  You will have an option to import them, or a selected subset of photos.  Just stop there and don't do the import.  Would that solve your problem?
