Can time capsule support a pc and a mac?

Is it possible for Time Capsule to support a pc and a Mac?

Yes, but you'll need to do the Windows backups manually or with third-party software capable of backing up to a network drive. Apple doesn't make any such software for Windows.

  • 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 you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

    can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

    Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
    Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
    The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
    From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
    you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
    Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
    But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
    You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

  • Can time capsule support TKIP?

    From reading the iPhone 5 WiFi problem threads, it seems one solution is to change the security encryption from AES to TKIP.  I don't see how to do that on a Time Capsule.  Is it possible?  I'm another one of those people whose iPhone 5 running 7.02 gets 300KB network speed over WiFi when I move away from the base unit by more than 10 yards.

    Yes, but you'll need to do the Windows backups manually or with third-party software capable of backing up to a network drive. Apple doesn't make any such software for Windows.

  • Can time capsule be used on windows7

    can time capsule be used on windows7

    We have Macs and PCs in our house.  The mac is set up and running fine on TC/TM. 
    Questions is - what is the best way to also use TC to back up the windows 7 machines?
    The windows machine is set up on the wireless network - but not currently sharing files.
    If not practical I'll stay with the Windows external hard drive to back up that laptop.
    Thanks.
    You can just connect to the TC and use a backup software.. I backup to TC using Macrium Reflect which is free for disk image.. paid for version does incremental.
    Make sure you have plenty of space though on the TC for all the computers hdd usage.. with about 2x or 3x that space spare. TM uses a lot of free space and gets slow and unreliable deleting old backups if there isn't sufficient space.
    An NTFS formatted disk makes good sense for a pc.. if you want to see and use the files you backup.

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

    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 be partitioned so as to back up osx with time machine and bootcamped windows drive with win 7 ulyimate

    have imac 27 inch.   I plan to bootcamp the drive and install win 7 ultimate to run AutoCAD. I want to backup the imac using time machine and the boot camped drive to one device.  Can time capsule be partitioned to use time machine for osx and win 7 backup for bootcamp drive.

    You cannot backup a Windows partition or system using Time Machine. Nor can you partition a TC as far as I know although Airport Utility may allow that now. See:
    A  whole  lot  about  Time  Machine for help with TM problems.  Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM.  See also Mac 101- Time Machine.
    Of course you should carefully read the documentation that came with your TC to find out what options are available.

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

  • Since installation of Mavericks, Time Capsule works very slowly, and the next backup of 236 GM will take nearly 30 days. What can I do to get backup more rapidly ?

    Since the installation of Mavericks, Time capsule works very slowly and will need 30 days or more to produce a complete backup of about 200 GB. What can I do to get a complete backup more rapidly ?

    What setup is the TC now.. ? what model and what firmware? Maverick seems to need 7.6.4 on the older TC.. and latest firmware on the AC version.
    Is it in router or bridge mode? Do not use wireless only.. join a wireless network.
    Is the computer connected by wireless or ethernet? I strongly recommend a test by ethernet.. with wireless in the computer turned off. If it is still very slow something is majorly wrong.. but I need the info I asked for to troubleshoot further.

  • Can time capsule be used to back up an imac and macbook?

    I use time capsule with my imac and I have recently bought a macbook.  Can I add the macbook to the time capsule so that both devises are backed up on it?
    Many thanks
    G

    Yes, that is fine. .the two devices automatically setup different backup sparsebundles.. a disk image in effect.

  • HT201250 Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet?

    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.

  • AirPort Time Capsule. Read everything and tried everything. Can't get a guest network to work. Switched from bridge mode and still doesn't work. Anyone able to set up a guest network?

    I had a bright house cable modem that also had built-in wi-fi.
    Don't mean to be picky here, but if the "modem" had built in Wi-Fi, it was not a modem. It was a modem/router, also known as a gateway type of device.
    A device like this combines the functions of a separate modem and separate router in one package. Turning off the wireless on a device like this does not make a it modem.....it is still a modem/router or gateway with the WiFi turned off.
    I think that if I have them replace the current "complicated" modem with a "simple" one I should be able to get the guest network up and running.
    That would be correct. Hopefully, they offer this type of option for their customers.
