Can time capsule work with OSX Server?

Will Apple's Mac OSX Server work with time machine?

Yes Time Machine is working with Mac OS X Server, but it's not recomendet! Just get another Backup Software (Like SuperDuper, CarbonCopyCloner, Restrospect ...)

  • 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.

    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.

  • Will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard® 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    Yes. There are 2 ways you could use these devices:
    Wirelessly 'join' the network. This would be slower and doesn't offer extending functionality.
    Use an Ethernet cable (through Powerline if you can't run a cable). This is faster and offers extending functionality. I would recommend using Bridge Mode if possible.

    Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
    If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

  • Will an older "Time Capsule" work with Mountain Lion?

    will an older "Time Capsule" work with Mountain Lion?

    It should do. Depends on how you define an 'older' TC. As long as your SW is up to date and the TC has relatively recent Firmware etc then there shouldn't be an issue.
    Are you having a problem with yours or just curious before you upgrade the OS?

  • Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac work with OSX Server?

    Hi There
    I wonder if I should install OSX Server on an iMac wher several users work on the same files and folders.
    My question - before I do something I might regret:
    Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac within several users really work with the help of OSX Server?
    All I want to be able to do:
    Admin creates a new folder1 and gives it read- and write access for user1 and user2.
    User1 creates a subfolder1 in folder1, and a document1 in subfolder1.
    User2 edits document1. Later Admin edits document1.
    All these simple editing of files and folders (and subfolders) within a main folder should be possible. This is not possible now.
    Is everything clear? I'm not a network specialist or something, I just want to give some co-workers access to some data on my computer without problems.

    So what you need are recursive permissions.
    I suggest you create a group and add user1 and user2 to that group. You can name that group whatever you want, but for now i will call it FSUsers
    Execute this in terminal. Replace FSUsers with your new group
    sudo chmod -R +a "FSUsers allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/*
    Replace /Users/Shared with the location of your shared folder. Make sure you keep the /* at the end (this allows all subfolders and files to get the same permissions.
    If you need to add people to the share just add them to the FSUsers group, the FSUsers group should should also be allowed in the sharing preferences.

  • My time capsule works with my laptop but not my iphones and states it has no internet connection even though it is working on my laptop.

    I purchased a time capsule when I upgraded my iphone to the iphone 5 in November of 12.  The time capsule was very easy to set up and both phones and the laptop worked great. In March of this year, the iphones would no longer connect to the time capsule network.  When I would run the airport utility, I would see errors for no internet connection and no DNS servers.  The funny thing is that my laptop would wirelessly connect to the internet through the time capsule. I am currently on my laptop now but my phones don't work.  I am thinking that I updated software for both my phone and the time capsule so I tried reverting the software on the time capsule but it still gave me the same errors. If I hook the cable modem to my pc, it works, so I don't have an internet service provider issue. The issue seems to be with the airport device/time capsule. I have reset things to the factory default and didn't bother setting any password for the network but to no avail... If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, please assist... I am ready to give up on fixing it and revert back to my old wireless device. Thanks

    Set it up with SMB compliant names.. that means, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
    Set security to WPA2 personal with pure alphanumeric password.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.
    Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to manual and try channels 11, 6, 1 in that order.

  • Time Capsule works with MacBook Pro (Mavericks) but not with IOS devices?  recent problem starting March 1, 2015.

    I have a Time Capsule version 7.7.3 (model A1470) which has worked fine for almost 2 years with all devices, Apple and otherwise.  As of beginning of this month, March 2015 - no longer works with a new IPAD mini 3 and 6-month old iPhone 6 (both updated as of last night) BUT still works fine with MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.5) and Epson printer XP-600. 
    On both IOS devices Airport Utility shows the Time Capsule and shows green light connection to internet, but never does the connection. The little status circle just keeps going round and never shows the Wifi rainbow symbol. both devices work fine on other Wifi's.  Airport Utility on iPhone actually connects enough to check on Airport base station's firmware 7.7.3 and says it is up to date!  but sadly stays on LTE.
    Have tried resetting, replugging etc...
    Also, tried checking on updates.  Nothing shows in Airport Utility. When I try to go to see past updates ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/AirPort/Firmware to see if updated, there is no Airport in the Apple folder?
    A mystery...

    Reset the TC to factory and redo the setup. see details below.
    Here is the typical list of things you should try.. and if this doesn't help post again.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer or perhaps it is better using iOS on the phone or ipad currently having issues.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. For iOS the fixed channels particularly for 2.4ghz has helped.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue. This is a problem for a TC in bridge mode.
    If this is of no help.. what modem do you have? What function other than modem does it have.. ie none or router??
    How is the TC connected into the network? What function does it have? Router or bridge for example.
    Post a few screenshots of the setup.

  • Will the latest 2 TB Time Capsule work with Windows 7

    I purchased a latest 2 TB Time Capsule
    My computer Engineer says, it will not work with my Windows 7 PC.
    He says I should purchase a Mac computer for using it
    My aim is to have some important files, movies and music files in it and use it as
    my  iPad accessory.
    Kindly let me know

    Your computer engineer needs demoting..
    The TC is SMB compliant when setup properly.
    Press reset 10sec and redo the setup.
    Download and install airport utility for windows. That will also install bonjour which helps things along.
    Rename the TC and wireless names to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric characters.
    eg TC name.. TCgen4
    2.4ghz wireless name.. TC24ghz
    5ghz wireless name.. TC5ghz (set the 5ghz name different on the advanced wireless page).
    Lock wireless to a/n - b/g
    Lock wireless channels to 1, 6, or 11 as the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    On the disk page.. set the guest account to on with read and write permissions.. that makes life a bit easier. Obviously if security is a problem don't do it.. but TC is a home device.. and is so easy to hack into it is a joke.. so setting high security is seldom of value.
    Make sure the workgroup is set correctly .. by default WORKGROUP.
    Note the IP of the TC .. generally 10.0.1.1 and if it is running as the main router to the network, you can now open the TC via windows explorer by typing the ip or the TC name in the address bar thus.
    \\TCgen4 or \\10.0.1.1 (Obviously if you use different name or IP then replace with those.)
    To access the TC from ipad you need a file browser app.. just look it up.. the ipad does not actually natively work with the TC.. so ipad is actually more of an issue than windows.
    Also note carefully .. there is no backup mechanism to save stuff on the TC.. it is a backup target not a NAS. It is made for Time Machine on a Mac not for storing files. They are also not exactly reliable. It is sealed.. there are no spare parts.. if it dies, apple will replace not fix it. And they tend to have a short life. If you trust your files to it.. one day they will all be gone.. make sure you back it up or only keep copies of files on it.

  • Does time capsule works with Lion?

    I am new to Mac after I had an HP damaged, and decided to move on to Mac.  As I do not want to repeat the experience of losing all the information for not backing it up, I was told that I could make backups with time Machine and Time Capsule.  I would like to check if it is possible, and if Time Capsule will work with Lion.  I have a 2011 MacBook Pro.  Thanks for your comments.

    Yes, although you don't necessarily need a Time Capsule.
    That's a combination wireless router and hard drive, and was designed specifically to receive wireless Time Machine backups, and is quite handy for that.
    But you can also back up to an external HD -- much faster and more reliable (not to mention less expensive), but less convenient for laptop users, having to connect it when you want to do backups.
    You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Canon printer into Time Capsule - works with macbook not imac - why?

    Hi all,
    This has been up in the iMac section for a couple of days and no one has replied. I thought I'd post it in here as people with TC's may have come across this and know how to fix it. I originally thought it was an iMac fault - perhaps it still is! Anyway I hope I've not broken any rules by posting it in here, when its already else where, if so apologies in advance.
    I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro (3 weeks old). I also have a time capsule and have plugged my Canon iP4500 into the USB port on the TC. I had, before getting the macbook, the printer printing wirelessly, with all the functionality that it should have using the airport on my iMac and the TC. Then after an upgrade of OS X, it suddenly stopped working wirelessly. I can not get it to work, no matter what I try - I've reset the printer settings in system prefs, reinstalled the drivers from the Canon web site, re-setting the TC - nothing works.
    However it does work from my MacBook Pro! It has the same OS X version, the same printer drivers downloaded from the same site.
    Obviously I'd like both computers to be able to print wirelessly - not sure what's going on with the iMac.
    All help is very very appreciated.

    I thought I'd search the hard disk and remove all files, drivers et al that I could find relating to the printer. Then reinstalled the up to date driver from the Canon website. (If I knew how / if it possible to post a screen grab of the printer window I would - so I've made a new page on my website - you can see screen grabs at: http://web.me.com/timhydes/Site/CanoniP4500_printerissues.html ).
    This time the printer window pops us as per usual, then in the top half section where it shows the icon, the name of the file it should be printing, but underneath it says "No pages found!", in the status table in the bottom half it says "Printing" (see screen grab 1). If I leave it for a while, it changes the top half to "Printer Ready" and the status menu says "Stopped" (see screen grab 3).
    If I click on hold, then resume I get a new window which says: "Operation Count not be completed" "client-error-not-possible" (see screen grab 2).
    I've checked that there is printer ink, paper et al, and it still prints from my MacBook.
    I wondered it this may shed some light on the issue from those more knowledgeable than my self.
    Many Thanks
    Tim

  • TIme Capsule Working with Corporate VPNs

    I had a linksys prior to installing the TIme Capsule. The linksys worked with my companies VPN out of the box. The time Capsule does not. Has anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem unfortunately. However, I was able to find some workarounds after a lot of investigation and research. I hope my fixes work for you.
    For the first and easiest fix try this:
    1. Open up "Airport Utility" found applications\utilities\airport utility
    2. Select your time capsule then select "manual setup"
    3. Then select "Advanced"
    4. Then select "IPv6"
    5. From the drop down menu select "tunnel"
    6. Save and allow the TC to restart
    This allowed me access with on VPN I work with. However, what type of VPN Client do you have? I had AT&T and my wife had iPASS which both required different solutions.
    If my first solution doesn't work, I can offer further details depending on your VPN Client. Just let me know. Good luck!

  • Currently have house wide wireless network and using external HD (USB) for time machine. HD broken.  would Time capsule work with current routers etc or make them redundant?

    I currently have a large house wide wireless network and I am using a dedicated Buffalo HD with USB for time machine.  The HD has gone bad and can't be repaired. I am thinking of replacing it with a Time Capsule.  Will this fit in with my current routers etc, render them redundent ?   I THOUGHT THAT THE HD I BOUGHT WAS OF GOOD QUAILTY BUT IT HAS BROKEN AFTER 2 YEARS. HOW LONG CAN ONE HOPE FOR A TIME CAPSULE TO LIVE (USING QUALITY SURGE DEVICES ETC) ?  Does one need to backup the backups?
    ALSO: Is ther e any way to back up from Time Machine off site ( mobile me etc) in case the house burns down?

    Steve M. wrote:
    I know I should have redundant backups and should probably have a second external HD and eventually will.
    Yes, that's best.
    But for now, if I partition (I'm assuming I should) a new 1 TB external HD, how big should I make the TM partition vs. the SD partition at this point assuming I have under 100 GB on my internal Mac HD? Is this a feasible way of doing things here in the near term.
    Your best bet is to make your TM partition 2-3 times the size of the amount of data you anticipate backing-up. Put it first on the drive; that way, later on you can delete the partition below it, expand the TM partition, and make a new, smaller partition for SD (or use the whole drive). See #1, #3, #5 and #6 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.
    By the way, any recommendations on which peripheral HDs to consider? I was very surprised on a recent visit to my local Apple Store that they have a large stock of WD My Studio drives. I mentioned to an Apple sales person that I had always heard WDs were kind of a no-no among Mac users but she assured me the current crop of them were much improved. Any comment on that??
    Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
    If you're going to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
    In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376
