Connect timecapsule to mac via cable

I need assistance in connecting my time Time Capsule to my Mac via cable. I bought the Time Capsule on the advice from an Apple store that I could connect via cable without using the WIFI. I am having trouble trying to find instructions on how to do this and I was referred by an Apple store employee that I need to call Apple support. Getting an answer from Apple seems to be troublesome and wasting of my time and money.
Can anyone help me please?

Ethernet cable .. not USB.. you can only use ethernet.
Do you have ethernet setup on the computer with DHCP automatic??
The airport utility is near useless with ethernet because it totally depends on wireless.. but if you notice the little tiny
Other WiFi Devices
In the top left corner.. when you connect by ethernet.. click it and you will find the option to setup by ethernet.
Here is another way to do it manually.. that cannot fail.. almost.
Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs

    Many programs will allow you to get your music off your ipod/ipad and onto a computer so it can be resynced. Phoneview (Mac) and transpod (PC) are two examples.

    The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port.

  • An connect to other Macs via Share Screen, but not RemoteDesktopAdmin

    Please help. I can connect to other Macs on the network via Share Screen, but cannot get a connection using Remote Desktop Admin.  Just keeps being stuck on verify.  Running Lion 10.7.3 with latest Remote Desktop Admin.  All Macs are on the same local ethernet network.  All was fine before update to 10.7.3.

    Thank you Dave for responding.  I did check the above as you mentioned.  In the end, I decided to roll back my mac via  timemachine to it's pre `10.7.3 upadre state.  Not sure why it took me so long to think of that ... perhaps it was just tooo obvious   Anyway, all is now working, and for whatever reason, re-installing the 10.7.3 combo update didn't break Remote Desktop Admin the second time now.  Not a clue way it worked , but glad it did.

  • Canon Printer mx860 not working since upgrade to Yosemite, it is connected to my Mac via usb.  Any suggestions?  Thanks. LL

    My 2009 Canon MX860 Pixma printer not working since an upgrade to Yosemite on my MAC version 10.10. It is connected by USB.  Have had no previous issues with printing, scanning or faxing.  When trying to print my Calendar I only get light vertical dotted lines, none horizontal, no words and vague header colors. Checked printer image on the  on my MAC which shows the same problem.  All of the color and black cartridges are new.
    The recent upgrade to the Canon application says it is completed but it is not, image on application upgrade is a circle with an X.
    Any suggestions?  Could this simply be a compatibility problem?  I'd sure like to keep my Canon printer.
    Thanks,  LL

    Can you open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left sidebar. If the MX is the only printer connected to the Mac then its information will be shown in the right pane. If you have more than one printer, then a list will be shown in the top right pane. Select the MX to see its information in the bottom right pane. Can you copy this information and paste back here for me to check.
    Also an FYI - this is the Mavericks forum. The Yosemite forum is here

  • Connect iPhone to Mac via Bluetooth

    It's taken me a while, but I would like to link my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I've paired the devices (supposedly - selecting the Mac in iPhone's Bluetooth list only offers "forget this device" - no settings shown), but when on the Mac I click Bluetooth Browse Devices it shows the iPhone in the list, but then reports "no device found". And if I click "iPhone > connect to network" it reports an error connecting, and "make sure network access is enabled and available on your device."
    So where do I enable network access on the iPhone? It's probably very simple, but I've hunted through Settings and can't find anything.
    Thanks!
    Ian

    Well, I consider myself a rather advanced user and I gave up on this problem as soon as I encountered it. My iPhone is becoming more and more bothersome. Apple's instructions asking to refer to the phone manual, as if it was unaccessible to them, are a pain as well.
    The thing is that Android, with all the variety of phones it handles, got this straight time ago. As a number of other things in which Apple is lagging behind more and more -among the important ones, conection to a folder structure, not to apps' folders.
    I don't care about Apple's marketing strategies. The only thing that made me get an iPhone was to use apps (none of them made by Apple, by the way) in connection to my Mac. Now I am ready to move back to Android as soon as a few of those apps make Android versions. And I may as well even if not. I know both systems and, in my opinion, not only the OS but some terminals have been better than Apple's for a while.
    The only thing that hooks me to Apple for the time being is OS X, but to be happy with the price of its hardware I want spotless performance. Not public performances of their top executives nor economic performance of their stocks in the stockmarket, but spotless performance of my tools, in case this is not clear, as it seems not to be!

  • How to connect with another Mac via AFP

    My parents have a Mac (10.4.8) which is in a different location than my own. They would like to send me some files however, I thought it would be easier if I could just log into their computer from mine, and grab the files myself.
    How is this done, if at all? I have the AFP address of their computer (file sharing is on as is Apple Talk on both machines) but can't seem to get this to work by using the connect to server command?
    Any help much appreciated!

    If you have broadband internet then why not send the files via email. Quick, simple.
    If your computers can be connected via Ethernet or wireless, then you can use file sharing. However, you must be able to communicate directly. That means connecting an Ethernet cable between the two computers or being able to communicate wirelessly - wireless modem, Ethernet modem connected to a wireless router, and Airport cards in both computers.

  • Airport Express not connecting to the internet via cable modem

    Hi. I need help. I just bought an airport express to get wireless internet and airtunes. I connected everything and ran the airport utility. Everything is good, so it says. I can play music through my stereo using airtunes, but when I try to get on the internet I get nothing. My macbook recognizes the network, but I can't load any pages. I've tried unhooking the ethernet from the express and unplugging the power from my modem, then plugging my modem back after about 30 seconds, then reconnecting the ethernet to the airport after another 30 seconds but still, nothing.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly? When I connect my macbook directly to the modem via ethernet I'm on the internet just fine. Thanks!!!!

    Do you have the Express setup to distribute IP addresses?
    If you do, you might turn it off in the Airport Utility.
    Also check you IP address on your MacBook.
    Make sure it is not self-assigned or something different than what your provider (cable modem) usually assigns you...

  • MBP connects to internet directly via cable modem, but airport wifi not working

    Today I came home to a broken wifi. I think Time Warner Cable had an outage in my area which confused my modem and airport router, but anyway. After a short while I was able to connect to the internet if I plug the cable directly from the modem to my laptop (which is how I am currently posting this question). But if I instead connect the cable to my airport and try to connect via my usual wifi network, I don't have any internet.  Here is what I have tried:
    - cycle cable modem several times
    - hard reset as well as factory reset of Airport
    - trying to connect the cable modem to the airport via both WAN and Ethernet entry, power cycling the Airport, waiting several minutes on each to see whether I get internet
    - Using Network > Assistant to create a new location and network
    Under airport utility, the status messages I get are as follows:
    - Internet Connection (tells me to cycle my cable modem, which I have tried)
    - No DNS Servers (I haven't touched any DNS addresses, but this has never been an issue that prevents me from connecting to wifi)
    - Ethernet unplugged (since I'm using the cable to write this message...)
    My hardware is:
    - MBP early 2011
    - ubee cable modem (standard issue from TWC)
    - Airport Express 802.11n (2nd generation).
    My laptop is able to connect to other wifi networks, so that is not the issue.
    Any help or advice is appreciated.

    ...And now it all of a sudden works. However, as I can't delete this post I hope others who have had similar problems may have solutions for future issues.

  • Connecting to another Mac via ethernet

    I have been doing some importing and editing on a 13" Macbook Pro and want to transfer some Events and Projects to my MacPro via a direct ethernet connection between the 2 machines.
    I can see each of the connected computers in each of their Finder windows and the various HD's. However the HD's from the connected computer does not show up in FCPx as a connected drive. Is it possible to achieve this. Following is the view from the Finder window on the Macbook. I want to copy/move files to the Video Media HD.
    Cheers

    FCP X does not support shared drives in that way. Just copy the folders for each Event and each Project you want using the Finder and you will be fine.
    There is one important thing to note, though: if when you imported the media to your events you did not check the "Copy files to the Event folder" box, your event will contain "aliases" (technically, symlinks) to the original media, not the files themselves. In this case, you may want to first "Organize Event Files" for those events in FCP X first - so that you actually copy the media to the other machine.

  • Is it possible to share one wifi with two time capsule which are both connected to the network via cable?

    Hello Community,
    this is my first contribute here so please do not expect a 100% question with all important information! I will do my very best!
    Situation:
    2 Time Capsule (one 1st generation, one 4th generation)
    both connected wired to my network
    Question:
    Is it possible to create one unique wifi Network with both TC's ? So wireless Devices connect to one TC (which is best at this position) but both TC's route traffic over wired connection?
    Understand what I mean?

    Hi Bob,
    just configured it, but my primary TC's is in orange blink state now!
    Error Message is "Double-NAT"! If my understanding is right, than the Problem is that my Router and my primary TC's does NAT!
    Do I have to deactivate DHCP and NAT on my router or is there another way to work around?
    Thank you so much

  • Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB ?

    Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB just like Firewire back in the day via Target mode or is there something similar? I am asking this because about 2-3 years ago I would normally image Macs via Target Mode. I used to have a regular Macbook running 10.6 along with a customized-ready-to-go .dmg image saved on the Desktop. Whenever I needed to put that image into any Mac I would simply connect the two Macs via Firewire, I would then press "T" at startup which will get me in Target Mode, I would then see the disk appear in the desktop of the Mac I had the image. I would then copy that image to the T mode macbook using super duper. Can this still be done through USB with new models and if so will I also need to press T at startup ?

    No, USB connection does not qualify for this, only firewire and thunderbolt, as I read (but cannot test, for the time being I have only one such mac around).
    This is why the short series of alu MBs (2008) are not qualified for target mode either.
    p.s. What ‘new models’ do you refer to?

  • E55 fails to connect via cable or turn on Bluetoot...

    Good afternoon!
    I have the following problem with my E-55:
    I was often using the phone as a modem, connecting it with a cable and using Nokia Suite. Some 2 months ago the computer (and Nokia Suite) suddenly stopped recognising that a phone was connected (it remained undetected, although the battery was beginning to charge). But it was still connecting via Bluetooth.
    About a month later a problem emerged with the phone's memory. Although all apps were installed on the memory card, and text messages occupied some 300kB, NetQin Mobile Guard was only finding 4.5kB files to delete from cache and I was constantly receiving an alert about lack of memory. I couldn't send text messages (although I could receive them), add new contacts, edit calendar entries or change mailbox settings (the e-mail boxes were empty). I could still use the phone as a modem connecting it via Bluetooth.
    The day before yesterday, for the first time I couldn't turn on Bluetooth, but when I closed all apps (using NetQin Mobile Guard to do that), it worked.
    But yesterday it didn't. I did a hard reset. The phone is working, now has over 50MB free memory (compared with the mere few kB earlier). But it still doesn't connect with the computer via cable, and I still can't turn BT on (alert: Cannot carry out Bluetooth operation).
    1. What can be the reason?
    2. Can it be repaired? (I expect deep reset does the same as hard reset, so won't change much?)
    3. If not, is it possible to carry over contact and setting backup from Nokia Suite (in .nbu format; I expect it would have to be converted) into the phone and running it without connection with Nokia Suite?
    Loads of thanks in advance for your help!
    Cheers!
    -Mike

    Hi m_b_p,
    Thanks for your post!
    We're sorry to hear that your device has suddenly become unresponsive to activating the bluetooth. A wire connecting the bluetooth part to the phone may have been dislodges some how. As you have performed a hard reset, we suggest you to take your device to your retailer or Nokia Care Point to have it inspected. 
    You may need to bring a proof of purchase.
    Let us know how you get on with this.
    Regards,
    haZey
