Connecting iPad 2 with Time capsule via speedport

Hey guys!
Can I connect my iPad 2 with my Time capsule which is connected to my Router (speedport)? I don't want to Switch the wifi Connection between Router and TC all the Time.
I Hope you can help me with this!
Regards

Open the network preferences and make sure the ethernet is getting an IP from the TC.. you do not need to change any settings .. all you need is network connection.. if the ethernet is working just turn off airport for the time the backup is going on. Once you turn off airport in the MBP the connection will be forced to ethernet. You can do it more correctly by rearranging the order of preference for network connection.. but for now.. just turn off airport.

IPad work with Time Capsule?

DOes the iPad and IPhone work with time capsule?
IS there a way to make the backup automatic like with Time machine?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iPhones and iPads work with the Time Capsule, but not to use it to back them up. You can only use the hard drive of your Time Capsule from a PC or Mac, so you can't back them up to the Time Capsule

How can i connect plex app with time capsule

i have a time capsule 2TB and iphone 5s and ipad mini 2
i stored all my movies on the TC and i can acces them by imac and apple tv
i just bought plex for ipad and iphone and don't now how to connect to TC
i want play these movies by ipad by plex connected to TC but don't know how to
please help

i just don't know to acces the TC with the plex app i tried several thing like port forwarding but can't figure it out
The plex app is a client.. you must be running a plex server in your network..
https://plex.tv/ios
Since the Apple Time Capsule cannot host any media.. since it has no media extensions it is impossible to support plex server on it. You must run a plex server on a computer or intelligent device.. TC doesn't rate as it is a fixed router with nothing to help you.

Can I connect my Airport Extreme Time Capsule via ethernet to another router (non-Apple)?

I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours and have gotten nowhere. I have an Archer C7 AC1750 router set up in my office, connected to my Zoom 5341 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem; this has been my main router and has worked fine. I have moved some things around and now have my PS3 and PS4 in my master bedroom but can no longer hook them up via ethernet to the Archer C7. I have run ethernet through the attic into the master bedroom and want to use my Airport Extreme Time Capsule as a way to hook up the consoles via ethernet. If I can use the Airport Extreme to extend my wireless network back to the bedrooms that is even better, although that is an afterthought.
I am not sure what the settings need to be to make this happen. I have searched and tried a number of things but have not found a working solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please start over with a default reset on the Time Capsule. This will not affect any of the stored data that you might have on the drive. You can use the same device name and password that you used before if you wish.
Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. Then hold in the reset button firmly for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection from the Archer router connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Open up AirPort Utility
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on Time Capsule xxxxxx
AirPort Utility will suggest a setup, which you want to ignore
Instead, click the Other Options button
Select the Create a new wireless network setting and click Next
In the Network Name box, enter the exact name of your Archer wireless network
In the Base Station name box, enter a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
Uncheck the box to use a single password
In the Network Password box, enter the password for the Archer wireless network
Verify on the next line
In the Base Staion box, enter a password that you want to use as a device password for the Time Capsule
Verify on the next line
Click Next and wait while the AirPort Utility creates a network
Ignore the step about unplugging the modem and click Next
Do not enable the Guest Network option and click Next
Wait while the network is being set up. When you see the message that the wireless network is available, click Done
The Time Capsule will now appear in AirPort Utility with a blinking amber light
Click on the Time Capsule icon, and then click on Edit in the next small box that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Change the setting for Router Mode from DHCP and NAT to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right and click Continue
Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart and you should have a green light
It would be an excellent idea to power off both the Time Capsule and Archer router now, wait a minute, then start the Archer router and let it run a minute. Then, start the Time Capsule up and give it a minute
You should be all set. The Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are now operable and the wireless network has been extended using AES encryption.

Connect to TV with Time Capsule

Hi, I have a Time Capsule and a Macbook and want to connect the MB to my LG TV. Is there any way that I can wirelessly connect to my TV via the TC so that I can view what's on my MB on the TV? If not is there any other way to wirelessly to connect to the TV?
Thanks in advance

The TV is new but don't think that it it wireless, but wondered if i could plug a cable from my tv to the TC to "enable it to be wireless".
Not exactly a substitute for a wireless adapter, however, you could provide the TV with access to the Internet thru an Ethernet connection to the TC.
It is important to understand that the TC is not a true media server, nor unlike the AirPort Express, does not have any form of audio circuitry for audio streaming. It is however, capable of both file or printer server services.

IPad backup with Time Capsule

Anyone heard if the iPad will be able to wirelessly backup?

...can the Touch back up wirelessly ?
No. But... You can connect your iPod touch to your Mac and iTunes will sync with it. Then when your Mac is backed up to the Time Capsule your iTunes info will be backed up.

How can i connect macbook pro to time capsule via ethernet

I just purchased a Time Capsule to backup my MacBook Pro. I tried to back up the files via wifi but it was taking forever. I tried connecting the Time Capsule to the MacBook via an ethernet cable but it won't recognize it. Any suggestions?

When you plug in by ethernet, make sure you plug into a LAN port on the TC... ie one marked.. <...>
Make sure the connectivity led goes on.. tiny light on the port itself.
On the MBP turn off wireless.
Make sure ethernet is set to auto .. check its status in network preferences.
Finally press and hold the reset button for 10sec to reset the TC.. that usually brings them back to life if it is acting up.
What OS on the MBP?? Lion and ML have issues finding the TC.

Connecting Ipad 2 to time capsule

Hi there...
I've just purchased a Time Capsule 3TB.
I have an Ipad 2 which is using the network that I have setup via the Time Machine.
Is there anyway I can access files - music, films etc from the time capsule directly from the ipad ?
Many thanks in advance !

While it is possible that an Apple moderator (Apple host) could pass some information to an Apple development/support group, in practice this doesn't really seem to happen (at least often). I believe that the moderators are kept quite busy just administering the forums and keeping them under control (no spam, ads, abuse, etc.). I've never seen a post by an Apple host here or seen a technical correction to a post (and there is certainly a lot of incorrect information posted here).
Unfortunately, a lot of new posters here seem to think that they are talking directly to Apple and post bug reports, feature suggestions, complaints, etc. These would be much better submitted via the Apple feedback vehicle at http://www.apple.com/feedback. These are not anonymous, are directed to the appropriate product and provide an email contact for Apple to get back to the submittor if more detail is required.

"Connection failed" error with time capsule

I can't access my time capsule. I get a "connection failed" error. And yet, the WiFi still works. I've tried resetting and unplugging and re-plugging.

I've returned home after some time away, and it's back to the Time Capsule problem!
The Time Capsule Status icon (the clock symbol in the menu bar) was grey - I went into Time Capsule Preferences, chose 'Select Disk' and selected 'Data' as the back-up location (the name of the Time Capsule folder). I then chose 'Backup Now' and the status icon turned black & began turning - with message 'Making Backup disk Available'. A couple of times, nothing happened beyond this - and I received an error message.
However after restarting my laptop (note I have shut down and restarted a number of times anyway since end November) the 'Making backup disk available' message was quickly followed by 'Calculating Changes...'. Out of interest, Time Machine Prefernces says that Oldest Backup is "--" and Latest Backup is "--". After 5 minutes, the status changed to 'Calculating Changes... (1%)' and at this point I was able to open Time Machine, and move back to previous backups (most recent being 27 November). It went on to showthat it was backing up 24.5 GB, and began this process. Then the status icon switched to a black circle with warning triangle and Time Capsule Preferences now reads;
Oldest Backup: 27 November 2009
Latest Backup: Failed
The error message (in the icon) is:
Make sure your computer and the backup disk are on the same network, and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up.
Latest successful backup: 27/11/2009 at 22:17
Help appreciated!

Connection timeout issues with Time Capsule

I have a first generation 500 GB Time Capsule, with AT&T Uverse internet service. The device worked fine up until 3 weeks ago, at which time I received a "connection timeout" error when trying to connect from any of the computers in the house. At that time, the computers were showing that the wireless network was available, but I was just unable to connect. I could connect to the device using the ethernet connection, and the wired computer would still successfully backup.
I restarted the Time Capsule, and everything immediately returned to normal. Everything worked fine for about a week, and then the problem occurred again. The issue has been occurring more and more frequently, to the point that it now is only working for several hours before requiring a reset.
Has anybody experienced anything similar to this? Any thoughts on a solution to this?

Hi I had similar problems. I moved houses got my own cable modem and tried to use the TC as my wireless, as i had it in my other home. The connection would drop constantly and i was unable to use the TC as a wireless device, it would also freeze my computer (mac book Pro). After asking everyone for help i found that when i moved the TC next to the cable modem in the garage it all worked. Apparently the ethernet cable that ran from the garage to the living room was only using 4 of the 8 pins and thus was dropping the connection. i am now connected directly from the modem to the tc and it has not failed yet (cross my fingers). After all this was suppose to be wireless and thus i don't need to have it right next to my computer. The signal is strong and it has not caused any problems. I didn't mess with the settings after i did a hard reset on the TC. So far so good. hopes this helps.

Share internet connection through iMac with Time Capsule

I have a scenario at work where I need to temporarily set another router as the DHCP server. I have a customer who has a typical office setup. They have an iMac which is plugged into a time capsule (TC). A network printer is also plugged into the same time capsule. I have had to move the WAN modem to where the wifi router is located in another room. The office needs to be able to connect to the new WIFI network while still having the network printer work. If I setup TC to "join another network" and put into bridge mode, I can no longer communicate with network printer. Can I choose "share internet" in OSX system preferences> Sharing on iMac, connect wirelessly through iMac and have TC function as a simple network switch somehow while being able to communicate with printer.
Thanks

First, before I get into too much detail: Is it even possible to set up a WPA2 network directly from the iMac without a separate router?
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Despite the fact that WPA2 encryption has existed for years, Apple hasn't seen fit to include that option in its "Internet sharing" feature.

Can i use an external hard drive with time capsule via an airport extreme?

i recently bought 750GB laCie hard drive... is it possible to use Time machine with the external HD plugged into my airport extreme?

Remember that Time Capsule is a hardware device.
Time Machine is a software feature of OS X 10.5.5.

Is it possible to back up iPad data whilst on the road?

Other than taking your Mac with you, I don't think so.
