Can time capsule back up iPad?

can time capsule back up iPad?

You do need to backup via iTunes, as Kappy as said, or via iCloud.
iTunes does not tell you where it actually places the backup files when you backup to your Mac or PC, but they are stored in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
This is more than you probably wanted to know, but I was working on another question where a user was not satisfied to know that iTunes was backing up his iPad.....he wanted to know where the actual backup file was located.

    Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    In addition to Kappy's comments, the external drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order for Time Machine to be able to back it up.

  • Can time capsule back everything including pictures?

    Will Time Capsul back up my pictures also?

    Why would it not?
    It would be a useless backup if it failed to backup something as important as your pictures..
    But it is Time Machine that is the backup program. Time Capsule is a dumb box getting the backup files.
    iPhoto stores its library in strange and various ways according to version. So read up now how to restore.
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    Also if this is an external drive you are talking about you need to make sure it is included in the TM backup.
    TM cannot backup network drives.. so having no idea where you are storing this I can only point you to actually read about how Time Machine works.

  • Can time capsule back up a pc

    I am a Mac person all the way, but my wife and daughter both use Dell PC's. With a Time Capsule unit replacing my current Airport Extreme would it be able to back up their data as well as my own? If it can I'lll just use my Airport extreme on my other nentwork as it is lacking on output power.

    You can backup to the TC from a PC.. of course not with TM which is Mac only software. They will need to use a windows backup software.. but there are literally hundreds of those available.. the worst possible being the built in Microsoft one.
    Mind you a TC is strange beastie and getting windows working well, means using SMB names.. not Apple default names with illegal characters.. so all names in the TC should be short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric.
    Also note effectively storage in the TC and mixing TM backups can be in conflict so it might be worth setting up disk images before you start.
    See Pondini's great instructions and KB.
    Look at Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    And look at FAQ and Troubleshooting from links at the top of the page.

  • Can time capsule back up two computers running on different versions of OS?

    Can I use time capsule to back up both an imac running snow leopard and a macbook air running mountain lion? I don't want to upgrade my imac (for program compatibility issues) but I would need to backup both computers, and would still want them to share the info back and forth.

    Yes.

  • Can time capsule back up a windows pc?

    My Time Capsule works great with the MacBook Pro.  My wife uses a Windows Vista laptop which I would also like to backup on the Time Capsule.  Is this possible?  If so, what do I need to add to the Window's machine?

    You can backup windows laptop to the TC.
    So I disagree with Lex.. He might be thinking TM which is Mac only software. The hardware of the TC is just a network drive..  the wisdom of it maybe in his favour though.
    Read up about mixing data with TM backups.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    See Q3
    For windows to work you need to setup the TC correctly .. ie get rid of those nasty apple names and use SMB type names, ie short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Load Bonjour for windows, or the whole airport utility for windows into the laptop.
    Set the file sharing on the TC to using the guest account with read and write permissions.. this is not 100% necessary but easier. But do set the workgroup correctly .. generally WORKGROUP.
    And then you need a backup utility that speaks networks.. 99% do.. except MSBackup on the home edition windows.. but even the pro version is so terrible the vast majority of people would consider an hour on the rack preferable.
    Buy something that actually works. There are a zillion backup softwares for windows.. just look at the reviews.
    I use Macrium Reflect free edition.. which does full disk backup but you have to pay to get incremental. Works fine to TC. with caveats per the reference in pondini.

    Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet? i want to buy an iPad Air and to forget my laptop and i think that even the 128 gb wont be enough some times. I am wandering if time capsule can be used as external hdd and to connect on it via wifi ...

    No. You cannot access your Time Capsule directly from an iOS device. The only way to back up an iOS device is to a computer through iTunes or to iCloud, though in some cases you can open and save files via another cloud-based service such as Dropbox.

    The iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac. Then, when your Mac backs up to the Time Capsule, the iOS backups are copied over as well.
    Or

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Can Time Machine back up a second external hard drive that is attached via usb to a Time Capsule?

    Can Time Machine back up a second external hard drive that is attached via usb to a Time Capsule?
    I have a iMac with 10.7.4

    I want to back up the data on the external Hard Drive that is attached to the Time Capsule to the Tim Capsule using Time Machine.
    Thanks for the clarification.  Unfortunately, that will not work.  You will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac if you want Time Machine to backup the drive to the Time Capsule.

  • 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.
    http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
    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.

  • Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Can Time Capsule stream movies from an iPad?

    Can Time Capsule stream movies or content from an iPad?

    A time capsule is dumb.. and I mean dumb and dumber dumb.. it has no media servers.. it can store files.. just and from an ipad with difficulty. You will need to use an App to even see files on the TC.
    A ipad can probably stream files from a TC.. using an app or several. But TC is a backup box designed for Time Machine.. ipad does not have Time Machine and doesn't even have AFP.. !!
