Configure time capsule to open over internet

hello
i have macbook pro retina os x yosemiti, i bought time capsule 3T, i connect it to my laptop and is ok,
i want to configure it to open remotly  and control it over internet,
please advise on how to do that?
thank you for your reply in advance

Post immediately above yours has the answers.
How can I access my Airport Time Capsule from a remote location?
Configure over WAN though is problematic and your TC will give you an error.
It is best to stick to what BTMM offers.. if you really need access to the level of actually changing the settings you are highly likely to mess up your own access. That is why you should do it professionally using vpn connection.. not some trick method.

  • HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

    For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

    You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

  • 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.

  • Time Capsule Not connecting to internet

    Hello. So recently I received a new iMac for Christmas and knowing that my wireless network is setup with MAC address filtering, I used my working laptop to connect to both the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to add the iMac to the network. That worked and my iMac has been able to connect to the network no problem.
    Let me explain what my network setup is before I tell about the problem:
    I have the latest generation Airport Extreme (Dual Band II) and a first generation Time Capsule (1TB).
    The Airport Extreme is connected to the internet by cable modem and the Airport is the main router sharing a single IP address.
    I connected the Time Capsule to the Airport Extreme through Ethernet and set it up automatically with Airport Utility to extend over ethernet.
    Now up untill now, I had no problems but since I got my iMac, I haven't been able to ever get a list of the Airport devices connected to the network, while connected to the Time Capsule, however, when connected to the Airport Extreme 5GHz network, I'm having no problems.
    And today, the Time Capsule wouldn't connect to the internet over wifi, and all other devices wouldn't either. Of course, I tried to connect to the base station, but Airport Utility wouldn't display any devices connected. This happened with my MacBook as well.
    Since connecting to the 5GHz network from the Airport Extreme, I have no problems with internet or Airport Utility. After a while though, the Time Capsule connected to the internet again.
    Would someone shed some light on the situation?

    I normally use the manual setup mode so I'm not sure what exactly is the end-state when choosing to extend a wireless network with the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet.
    I am guessing that the AirPort Utility configured the TC as a bridge to allow the AEBSn to still provide both NAT & DHCP services for all wired or wireless clients connected to either router.
    Let's start by double-checking some settings on your TC. Please provide the following TC settings from the AirPort Utility:
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > Time Capsule > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode = ?
    o Allow this network to be extended = checked or unchecked?
    o Radio Mode = ?
    o Radio Channel Selection = ?
    Time Capsule > Access Control
    o MAC Address Access Control = ?
    Internet > Internet Connection
    o Connect Using = ?
    o Connection Sharing = ?
    Internet > TCP/IP
    o Configure IPv4 = ?

  • How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

    I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

    I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
    I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
    Thanks!

  • I don't want my Time Capsule to link ti Internet, does anyone know how to achieve this ? Thanks Don

    I don't want my Time Capsule to link to Internet, does anyone know how to achieve this ? Thanks Don

    Don,
    We have no idea how you have your network set up, or what devices other than a Time Capsule that you might have, so it it impossible to provide an answer for you based on what we know at this time.
    Can you provide some details so that we can understand how you have things setup, what devices that you have, etc?
    The Time Capsule does need to connect to the Internet to receive firmware updates from Apple, so you would be missing out on some significant things......like a recent important security update....if you try to configure the Time Capsule to connect in the way that you ask about.
    Backups will not be "automatic" if you configure the Time Capsule without an Internet connection. You will have to manually switch networks whenever you want to back up, and then switch back again to your "other" network for normal use. Quite a hassle for most users, even if it can be done.

  • My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?

    My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?
    Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

    It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
    Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
    If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

  • Can I access the data backed up on my time capsule remotely via the Internet?

    Can I access the data backed up on my time capsule remotely via the Internet? Let us say I have all my music or photos on my time capsule at home and I want to access it while I am outside over the Internet can I do this?

    See remote access methods here.

    I am not sure what format these files are in.. but if they are itunes or iphoto.. have a care.. it is easy to corrupt them.

  • Time Capsule bringing down my internet modem.

    Time Capsule bringing down my internet modem.
    I have been having issues for several weeks where my internet modem loses its connection (often the Time Capsule wireless network would continue but without its connection to the internet since my cable modem was down).  I replaced my cable model with Time Warner but the problem continued where I would routinely lose the internet and have to unplug the modem and router several times to get it working again.
    I tried removing the router from the equation and connected my laptop directly to the router via Ethernet cable.  This seemed to work and the internet modem no longer dropped the connection.  It seems the problem is some combination of the internet modem and time capsule router, though I have been using the same Time Capsule router for over a year with no issue.
    I used Airport Utility to restore the factory settings on my Time Capsule and reconfigure the network from scratch.  Once again the wireless and modem seemed to work together for an hour or so and then the modem dropped the internet again. 
    I can keep unplugging the modem and router every time this happens but there must be something causing a conflict somewhere.   Any suggestions of things I may try to fix or diagnose the issue between the modem and the router?

    Is the cable modem you have also a router?
    If it is a pure modem I don't really see how a TC can pull it down.
    Can you get any access to the TC in the state when there is no internet? Can you check if the WAN still has IP address via utility.
    You need to use the v5 utility btw to get any useful troubleshooting info. For Lion just download and install it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Check the Log for any info there.. keep your eye on it if you cannot access the TC once it goes bad,, you need to try and get the info prior to failure.
    How old is the TC? What model.. please the A1xxx model from the rubber mat.
    If you have A1355 ie Gen3 there is a chance you are seeing the ethernet ports failing due to internal power supply problems.
    I think a Gen4 is still too new to see this problem.

  • Time Capsule working without the internet being turned on ?

    I set my TC up last week and it first I thought you could just plug it in, connect to it, and then wirelessly backup. I was wrong.
    The only way I could get it to work was by connecting it wirelessly to my router/internet connection.
    Now whenever the router is switched off the TC will not work until it is turned on.
    Surely the TC can just be used for wireless backup without the need of the internet being turned on?
    TIA

    For you to be able to connect wirelessly to a Time Capsule independently of you Internet connection, your Mac would have to connect to two wireless networks at once. Mac OS X isn't really organized to make that feasible.
    If all you want to do with the Time Capsule is to use it as a backup drive, it would have been cheaper to buy such a drive.

  • Can i use the time capsule 2tb as a internet provider without having internet access?

    Can i use the time capsule 2tb as a internet provider without having internet access?

    Nope, the time capsule is a router, but it will still need access to the outside world (Internet) by way of a modem.

    Are you running 7.3.1, when I did what you were trying everytime I turned on the wireless encryption it could no longer find the time capsule when I rebooted the time capsule. It worked fine once I left it long enough that it found the fact that the Time Capsule had an upgrade to 7.3.1
    Once I got the upgrade in the Time Capsule, the system worked fine.

  • How to configure time capsule backup with windows7 ?

    I cannot configure time capsule to do the backup of my PC. I am using windows7 with SP1
    xepa

    Does the windows computer have access to the TC hard disk?
    If so use a backup software that can backup to network drive.. MSbackup in the home versions cannot. You need to use third party.

  • How fast would Time Capsule restore 500GB over wi-fi, Thanks

    How fast would Time Capsule restore 500GB over wi-fi, Thanks

    Using Ethernet, you normally get around 30 GB per hour transferred, so about 16-17 hours that way.
    Wireless would be about 3-5 times slower, on average, so a very rough estimate would be 50-80 hours over wireless. Much depends on your actual wireless connection. Do you know what that is?

  • HT5022 How to share my photos from time capsule external drive over the internet.

    I saw some article that, i can share my photos from time capsule drive over the internet. Also, heard it can be done through manual configuration of time capsule. Firstly, i do not see such option in my time capsule configuration. I did a factory reset assuming, i might have configured through auto mode for the first time (that could be the reason why i don't see manual option). Now, i don't know, how can i share my images over the internet frome time capsule drive, without using my mac book system up and running all the time.. I wanted to create a secured user id/password to let the other users to access my network share drive. Is that possible?

    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip on how your Time Capsule can be accessed from the Internet to get you started.
