Can time capsule be accessed remotely

Can time capsule be accessed remotely? Via macbook pri on another wifi network

Just google for this one.. there are loads of video on utube etc..
The answer is yes.. but it depends as all things do..
BTMM and iCloud is designed for remote access to TC and Mac.

The TC has to be the main router in the network..
The remote network must not block the protocols required for connection..

ARD&TC Apple Remote Desktop & Time Capsule (disk access, remote management)

Hello!
Could You help me? I have two problems with access to my Time Capsule.
I have wireless network at home based on Time Capsule, with *one static IP*. I have conected it (wireless) with two iMac's. Me and my girlfriend we have also two macbooks and when we are out of home we want to acces data on our Time Capsule disk. I need access to disk to edit data on it while being long way out of home. Second problem is to access data on our iMac's. I bought Apple Remote Desktop software, it's incredible what it can do but only when I'm connected to my wireless network LAN. I need to control my iMac while being out of home. How to configure Time Capsule and ARD to acces disk and control iMac's? Let me remind You that I have *one static IP for Time Capsule router WAN*. Please help and I would be very very thankful for screenshots of configuraion, I'm newbie in this.
Thank You very much.
Kind regards.

Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

Can the time machine be accessed remotely over the internet?

Hi, I am thinking about purchasing the time machine. Can the hard drive on the time machine be accessed remotely over the internet?

Do you realize that if you store some of your Mac's data (photos, music, etc.) ONLY on the external Time Capsule, AND also store your "Time Machine" app "system backups" on the Time Capsule,then if the Time Capsule hard drive ever fails you will have lost the " original" and the "backup" copies of all that data (photos, music, etc.)? They will be gone forever. NOT recommended!

Accessing Computers Connected to a Time Capsule From a Remote Location

I am already able to access my Time Capsule from a Remote Location and have read/write access to the internal hard drive within the Time Capsule and the USB hard drive connected to it.
My problem is that I cannot access any shared computers or networked hard drives attached to the Time Capsule.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you don't want to use Back to my Mac, you can just use screen sharing. Go into Airport Utility and go the Advanced tab along the top. Then click on port mapping. Set up a new port map to route to the iMac. When I did this, I just used the "Apple Remote Desktop" option from the drop-down menu, this pre-fills everything in for you except for the IP address of the iMac. Just pop the IP address in the field, save the new port map, and Update the TC. Now you should be able to screen share from anywhere with your MacBook Pro using the screen sharing app. The Screen Sharing app is located in /System/Library/CoreServices/ScreenSharing just drag it to the dock to keep it there. When you open it up it will ask you for a host address, just type in the IP address of your time capsule followed by the 5900 port number, for example x.x.x.x:5900 where x.x.x.x is the TC IP address.
Just make sure your iMac is set up for File Sharing, Screen Sharing, and Remote Login, and you should be good to go. Just a word of caution, when the port map is set up, anyone can use it, so set up a good password on your iMac. Also, under the screen sharing pane, click on "Computer Settings" and check both boxes and enter a password in the box. You should not need this because when you try to connect with your MBP, it should give you an option for logging in as an authorized user, in which case just use login info for a user on the iMac.
Just one last thing, if you close the Screen Sharing app and open terminal and enter:
defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug 1
then hit enter and reopen Screen Sharing, it should give you a list with all your bonjour computers and saved computers, so when you out in your IP address to connect to the iMac, make sure the box for "Add to my Computers" is checked, and it will add the IP address to the list so you don't have to put it in all the time.
Hope this helps,
Nathan

Can documents saved on my time capsule be accessed if not connected i.e. I am away from home and want to access documents saved on my time capsule

Can documents saved on my time capsule be accessed if not connected i.e. I am away from home and want to access documents saved on my time capsule

Yes, if you setup one of the methods.. see
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
You must use a Mac for any of those.. if you want to use some other OS tell us.

Can i store my movies on the time capsule and access to watch on my new ipad?

can I store my movies on the time capsule and access wireless to watch on my new ipad?

TC is not a media player.. it has no smarts whatsoever.
If you have an app on the ipad to play files.. then the ipad can play files from anywhere.. even the TC.. but the TC contributes nothing. Do not move your itunes library to the TC.. that is asking for trouble.

Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

Can Time Capsule host an Aperture image library efficiently?

In our household, we have several MacBook Pros with SSD drives, which don't have a lot of storage space. Since we take a lot of high-resolution pictures in .RAW format (app. ~25 MB per file), it would be nice if we could store all of our pictures remotely on the Time Capsule, and access the image library from our laptops, without needing to copy the files to our local harddrives.
So, is it possible to use Time Capsule as the only storage device for our Aperture image library, in a way that we can open and work with the library remotely (wirelessly) through Aperture on several Macs?
I am guessing that this is possibly by simply sharing the files, but there are a few things that I am concerned about, such as:
Will my images files/Aperture library get corrupted/damaged when a computer looses connection to the Time Capstule in the midst of editing?
What will happen if several users attempt to access/modify several images on the Time Capsule at the same time?
Will you get good performance from Aperture with a very large, remote image library?
I have also considered getting an Mac mini with OS X Lion Server to do the same job, but setting it up a bit differently. Possibly setting up a Git repository for the images, but I would much prefer a simpler solution, which is why I'm thinking about doing this with a Time Capsule (using it as a "NAS" of sorts).
Thanks in advance for any help, advice and suggestions.

Of course I found this right after posting my questions...
Also, it is strongly recommended that the Aperture library be stored on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing the Aperture library on a network share can also lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss.
So I guess using the Time Capsule is out of the question, but I would still be interested in hearing from you guys if you have any good suggestions on how to work with a large image library in Aperture remotely through the network, if at all possible.

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

Can Time Capsule support an additional external hard drive?

A friend of mine is using Airport Extreme and has both his printer and external hard drive hooked through it accessing both wirelessly. The Apple site says this works great with Extreme but does not say you can do the same thing with Time Capsule. I called our local store and she wasn't sure. Both Extreme and Time Capsule have one USB port so no matter what, you have to split the USB(I know this works with Extreme). All my music is on an additional hard drive and it would be great if I could access it wirelessly. If anyone has done this with time capsule please let me know. I want to purchase it but if not I will go with Extreme.

Can Time Capsule support an additional external hard drive?
Yes.

Can time capsule also be used as a regular external HDD as well as a backup

can time capsule also be used as a regular external HDD as well as a backup

It is now and forever more a network drive.. network drives are not like external hdd. you can only access it by network.. it is not accessible by USB.
If you want to store data on it. yes you can.. should you?? hmmm probably not unless you have backups elsewhere.. if you have both files and backups on the TC that would mean you are one hard disk failure from total loss of your files.
TC has no means to backup files stored on it.. nor can Time Machine backup the TC.. so it is designed for TM backup and nothing else.
Use it to store files at your peril.

Can Time Capsule handle ethernet & wireless connection simultaneously??

Hello All,
I have recently purchased a Time Capsule and managed successfully to set it up, doing the initial back-up over ethernet. I already use a BT router in another part of the home to provide internet access, there is also another imac in use in the same home. My problem is that I would prefer to keep the ethernet connection to my own imac for the purposes of speedier backing up (I do a lot of music work) but this seems to disconnect the wireless capacity of the Time Capsule meaning the other imac in the house cannot see it. If I make the connection to my imac wirelessly (so that the other imac can see it too) then backup seems to take an age. Hence my question is can I still use the ethernet connection to my imac and still have the Time Capsule accessible wirelessly to the other imac??
Any advice will most welcome.
Thanks
Nick

Ok, the set-up is basically this.
1. A wireless modem/ router delivering internet access.
2. Time Capsule has joined the network offered by this router.
3. My imac is connected to Time Capsule via ethernet.
4. Second imac connected to the network via airport but not seeing the Time Capsule specifically. What it does see (under 'shared') rather confusingly is 3 different areas. The first calls itself 'mac' and then a code. The second appears as 'Nicholas's imac' and the third just as my name. The first two say it is connected as a guest and the second always says 'connection failed' even though i'm not sure what it is. Furthermore even where it appears to be connected as a guest I cannot see any access to Time Capsule.
BUT.....
if I connect my imac to the Time Capsule wirelessly via Airport then the second imac can see the Time Capsule and access it easily. This would be fine but it does mean that my imac (the main one) has lost it's faster back-up times. I also don't really want to go down the route of file sharing since this would mean both imacs would have to be on just for the second one to see the Time Capsule.
So as I say - I just want to achieve a connection from my main imac via ethernet while still having easy access for the second imac to Time Capsule wirelessly without the first imac necessarily needing to be on.
Thanks for your help thus far.
Nick

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.
