Can you connect a mobile broadband device to a time capsule?

Only if it has ethernet.. and offers the ip direct to the device ie you need a 3G router not a USB stick..

Can't connect to mobile broadband with NetworkManager and Huawei E1550

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to mobile broadband internet (3G) using my Huawei E1550 HSDPA USB Stick and NetworkManager but it won't work.
At first, the LED on the usb device seems to indicate that the connection is established, but immediately afterwards it starts blinking again (which shows that no connection is established).
nm-applet then tells me that I've been disconnected (although the connection was never established).
I installed usb_modeswitch and modemmanager and enabled modemmanager with the systemctl command.
The ID of the device is 12d1:140c, which is supposed to be right after the modeswitch.
Here is the relevant log:

Can I connect an external hard drive to my time capsule to add virtual hard drive space?

I would like to make a 4 TB external hard drive available wirelessly on my home network. I have heard that I could connect it to my router or my Time Capsule to do this. Is this possible? Is there any special setup I need to do to enable this to work?
Additionally, I have two Macbooks in the house and have recently purchased a second Time Capsule. I would like to back up each computer to its own Time Capsule. Is there a configuration that would make this possible?
If the two Time Capsules are connected together via an ethernet cable (in extend the network mode), and one elects to back both of their computers up to the primary Time Capsule, does the primary use the secondary Time Capsule's hard drive space to continue backing up once it becomes full?
Thanks in advance for any advice you all may have for me in this situation!

Can you use a mobile broadband for Apple TV. My mobile prepaid is wifi but does it have to have credit on it to or can atv still stream through the device.

I have a mobile prepaid broadband. I want to buy a Apple TV but I'm unsure about whether it will work with my mobile broadband.
It is wifi. Does my wifi have to have credit on it for the atv to work. It still works you just can't connect to the Internet with it unless I buy credit. I just need to make sure. I want to use my iPad and view on my he tv.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It may well work but will likely be far too slow and far to expensive.

I am just starting out trying to install ARCH with ONLY an e156 USB 3G modem.... Sorry I can't suggest anything. And, I am asking if you could help me by posting you code for ppp.
I wish to connect with JUST ppp/pppd as it is all I will have in a base install. Not with wvdial. just ppp
can you let me know exactly what you did with the e156 to get running on ARCH with ppp?

Why I can not connect more than one device at a time with a monthly subscription?

Yesterday I bought a monthly subscription (https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-ES&event=displayProduct&ca tegoryPath=/Applications/EdgeInspect) and I got the confirmation of the purchase but I recognize Google Chrome I have synchronized devices but then only see one at a time, not displayed on all at once, can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

How can i connect an external hard drive to my time capsule?

I can see it though my airport utility but not my network.

goldenmaestro wrote:
I have the same problem, it is NTFS formatted, is that a problem?
Sure is.. The TC cannot use it.. cannot see it or read it.
You need to connect the disk to the Mac, format it HFS+ and make sure it is GUID type disk not MBR windows type. Although you can also use fat32 IMHO that is really backward step.
Windows can still write to it, as the TC or airport can offer SMB to the network.. it is irrelevant the format of a drive plugged in.
The USB port is underpowered in the TC.. even though the hard disk is powered you sometimes need a powered hub.. and not all powered hubs work.
Also note USB is slow.. connected to a network device it is double or triple slow.
It is far better to plug the USB drive straight into the computer and use it in native format to the OS of the computer.

Can you expand the number of LAN ports the Time Capsule has?

I have a recently purchased a Time Capsule and am wondering if you could use something like a splicer to add more LAN ports to the device.

You can install a Gigabit Ethernet switch to add as many ports as you need. Switches come in 5-port, 8-port, 16-port etc. varieties.
Why a switch and not a hub? A switch will deliver full bandwidth to each connected device. A hub will divide or split up the bandwidth to connected devices.
Any electronics / computer superstore will have models to choose from. Recommended brands are Netgear and Cisco, among others.

Can you print to an Ethernet only printer via Time Capsule

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some help before buying a Time Capsule.
I run a small home office, I have Pro Mac desktop and an 17" Macbook Pro, my wife runs a Powerbook. We output to a A3 colour Epson Aculaser AL 8600. Our current set up is to print share back to the Pro Mac which is beside the big laser printer in the attic.
Can we all connect the printer to the ethernet port on the Time Capsule and have a reliable access to print wirelessly? Or can you only print via USB?
Many thanks in advance of any help received.....

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same too, however any searches or posts here indicate you can only print via the usb port, plus, to confuse me even more, my local mac store suggested I buy an airport express with the time capsule and connect the express to the printer so it can talk to the capsule! Yeah! even though the capsule has ethernet ports....
I still need opinions form users who have done this?

I can't connect my Windows Vista 64 bit to Time Capsule and Internet

I have just start using a MacBook Air and a wireless network with a Time Machine! I used to have just PC with a simple home network. I get total successful in use the Time Machine and 2 other notebooks with windows XP, but I cannot connect a HP PC with Windows Vista 64 bit, neither to the Time Capsule nor to the internet. These computer are working perfect because I can connect to others Wi-Fi networks with no problems, seems that something is blocking! When I try to access the Time Capsule I get an answer that I should enable the NetBIOS, but I have already checked and it is working properly! When I ask to diagnose the network problem I get an answer that I should re-start my modem and internet connection, which I have done with no success!
I appreciate for some additional information! Thanks

I had the exact same error message but it was on an Airport Extreme Base Station. I use a Macbook at my office and there are 2 XP desktops as well and we were using a shared storage hooked into the AEBS in order to share files. One day all of a sudden the XP machines starting displaying the same error message that NetBIOS should be enabled.
After googling every available article I discovered what ultimately solved our issue.
I opened the the Airport Utility app on my Macbook I clicked on "Manual Setup"
Then "Disks"
Then "File Sharing"
I discovered that the default name under "Workgroup" was Workgroup, but our network in the office is called "MSHome" so I changed it to match the PCs and instantly both PCs connected to the shared storage.
Also I changed the 2.4Ghz channel to a number other than the default 11.
I changed the name of the base station to a name less than 8 characters with no spaces and no symbols.
I changed the Wireless Security to "WPA/WPA 2 Personal".
I've been trying to add my fix to other Apple Support pages and they're all archived and closed to replies, so if you haven't gotten your TC to work, maybe this might help.

Can I back-up my I-devices to the Time Capsule?

I'm about to purchase an Airport Time Capsule.
First I want to know if it is possible to back-up idevices to the Time Capsule.
At this moment we're backing-up our i-devices to iCloud but no more storage available and don't feel like buying more storage.

iOS devices cannot backup to TC.
They either backup to the cloud or local itunes on a computer.. the computer then is backed up by TM to the TC.. so indirectly it is backed up.
You can copy files to the TC from idevices but you will need to install a file browser app. eg Filebrowser.
But that is not backup and there is no backup app I know of.

Can I connect two usb hard drives to my time capsule?

Dear all,
I have bought a powered usb hub to connect two usa hard drives to my 3rd generation time capsule, as it is written in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421
I have formatted both hard drives, so now the file system is extended Mac OS (journaled). If I plug the usb hub to my laptop, I can access both hard drives. If I plug it to my time capsule, by no means I can access any disk. If I plug each hard drive directly to the time capsule, I can access each of them. I don't understand! what can be the problem? The file system is ok, the hub is powered and everything is working if I plug it to my laptop. Can anybody help me? Any idea? Thank you in advance!

A hub that works on a Mac does not necessarily work on a Time Capsule.. eg Some Belkin hubs do not work on TC even though they work on the Mac.. The TC having a small amount of ROM memory can only store drivers for a small selection of usb chipsets.. you need to buy a different powered hub..
What ones actually work with TC.. ?? Not sure.. google for success.
best usb hub airport (airport and TC are same thing)
This is coming up all the time.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3787224?start=0&tstart=0
Your problem is finding the right one, because even like belkin ones, a 7port might work, because belkin are rebadgers they don't make anything.. so it depends which factory they come from.. for a consumer product like a hub they probably care more about the outside and packaging appearance than the chip used inside. And lets face it.. all they care about in the end is to deliver it for the cheapest price possible to make money out of it.

MacBookPro:Can you add firewire drive & video device at same time?

I want to buy a MacBook Pro 15" to edit on FCP and FCXpress, but i am concerned that there is only one Firewire Bus (and plug). I have a Canopus AVC 100 and an external firewire 400 drive and want to use both at the same time. I have always been told that you have been told you can not add a firewire video input source or a hard drive on the same firewire bus. The internal drive is not big enough for my projects and I want to capture directly to the external drive. I have been looking at several solutions, such as adding an ExpressCard-ePCI to give me an additional Firewire Bus. (The FireWire 800 addition would also be a bonus.) Are the two Firewire ports (400 & 800)on the 17" MacBook Pro on the same bus (resolving this problem)? I am looking to see what other editors are doing to solve this issue?
867x2 Mirror Door G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You shouldn't have any problems either
I field dozens of questions each week with issues on desktops and laptops due to the single FW bus limitation.
Glad it works for you, but please don't assume it will work in all configurations.
Some cams and FW devices do not play well together.
For less than $80.00 you can get a ExpressCard/34 firewire card.
I believe it's a good investment, particularly for the high overhead in FCS 5.1.

I can't connect my PC (Win 7) to my Time Capsule for wireless networking

Any Help?????
I called Apple support and they said to call my PC manufacturer. What the ****?!?!

This didn't work. I'm assuming you mean to change it from WPA to Bridged mode? I did that and it still didn't work for the PC. However, my MacBook connects, my friend's Mac desktop connects, and iPhone connects just fine.
PC's just simply won't connect. This is such a bummer. I've tried 3 windows laptops and my windows PC and they just won't connect to the internet.
They see the network and then try and connect. All it says is that it is an "unidentified network" with no internet connection.

I can't connect to the drive on my airport time machine and am receiving the message: "AirPort Time Capsule" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.

Time capsule has been working perfectly for months.
Suddenly I can't connect to the drive on my airport time capsule and am receiving the message: “AirPort Time Capsule” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.
Time machine appears to be still backing up (last backup within the last hour), but drive is not visible and I have files stored on it.
I have tried rebooting everything in order as suggested for other issues, anyone got any ideas how to see the drive again??

What OS are you running??
It is very typical Yosemite issue.
1. In airport utility does the TC show up.. if so click it.. and see the summary page which will include its IP address. That is what you are after.
From my screenshot you can see the TC address is 192.168.2.57
It might well show up briefly after a reboot or in ipad / iphone version utility. Yosemite is hopeless. The airport utility hardly works.
2. In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
Type in SMB://192.168.2.57 (replace with IP you discover).
If it is possible it will request a password.. type that in and DO NOT FORGET.. to store it in your keychain.
This will work until the TC changes IP which won't happen if it is main router.. but will happen if it is bridged.. so you need to tell me the whole network setup.
Mavericks is nearly as bad and the above instructions should be universal except I would use AFP instead of SMB. Apparently Yosemite is now totally Windows oriented.

Can you connect a mobile broadband device to a time capsule?
