Connecting Time Capsule data with iPad

Is there any reasonable way to browse data on TimeCapsule with iPad2?

Not sure what you mean by reasonable, but Filebrowser is pretty much the accepted standard for this type of application.

  • How do I access time capsule data with windows 7

    My computer hard drive crashed and was recently replaced and a fresh new install of Windows 7 was done.  Also my service provider has change and I no longer use the airport as my wireless router.  I have all my data on the time capsule however I am unable to access it.  I tried downloading airport utility for windows but its not detecting my time capsule.  I am connecting the time capsule to my computer using the usb cable.  Any suggestions?

    I am connecting the time capsule to my computer using the usb cable.  Any suggestions?
    That is not a valid method of connecting.. the TC is a network device.. you cannot use USB to it.
    Plug it in by ethernet or use wireless.. either way it should be accessible by the airport utility.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • 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.
    Ray

    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.

  • I want to connect Time Capsule with Time Warner modem

    How do you connect Time Capsule to a Time Warner modem? I am upgrading my Wi-Fi to AC and have a Motorola modem without AC, router and WiFi. I could just upgrade the Motorola modem, but I would like to use a Time Capsule. My connection to Time Warner usesd a splitter that goes to a DVR with the other end going to the Motorola modem by way of a coax connector.

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> port on the Motorola modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. At this point the amber light will be blinking slowly on the device.
    On your Mac....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on Time Capsule
    The utility will open up and take a minute to analyze the network, then display a window that looks like the screenshot below...except that you will see a Time Capsule on the screen.
    Network Name......enter a simple name that you want to use as your wireless network name
    Base Station Name....enter a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule
    Password.....enter a password that will be used for both the network and Time Capsule
    Verify......verify the password
    Cick Next
    The utility will set up everything for you. When you see a green light on the Time Capsule, log on to the new wireless network that you have created and enter the password to connect.

  • Time Capsule Hangs with USB Drive Connected after installing 10.5.6 update

    The 10.5.6 update basically made my External USB Disk connected to the Time Capsule unusable. I've repaired the permissions as suggested in other posts - this did not fix the problem.
    I was unable to perform any incremental backups initially after the 10.5.6 update, so I archived my sparsebundle and created a new one by doing a full fresh backup - which completed successfully. However, after the backup, I was unable to connect to the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to the Time Capsule via Finder - when trying to connect, my computer hangs and I'm forced to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND the Time Capsule, if I just restart one or the other the problem persists. If I let the connection attempt run long enough I get an "Error Code: -8072" message and still have to do a hard restart. After the hard restart of my computer and Time Capsule I'm able to connect to the Time Capsule and the USB drive connected to Time Capsule just fine. However, once the Time Machine backup runs again - the same problem returns, I can no longer access the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to Time Capsule via Finder and have to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND Time Capsule. This 10.5.6 update has been havoc, anyone have the same troubles or ideas for resolving this? Before updating to 10.5.6 my system was working flawlessly with Time Capsule and the connected USB drive.
    UPDATE: I've just verified that this problem only occurs with my external LaCie Hard Drive connected to Time Capsule via USB. If I disconnect my LaCie Hard Drive from the Time Capsule and restart the Time Capsule everything works fine (backups, access to Time Capsule Disk from Finder). If I connect the LaCie Hard Drive via USB to the Time Capsule, I am able to access the LaCie Hard Drive in Finder UNTIL the next Time Machine backup. After the first Time Machine backup with the USB drive connected, I can no longer access the USB drive from Finder - Finder hangs and eventually produces "Error Code: -8072". If I disconnect the USB drive, then plug it back in - Finder no longer hangs and I can access the drive connected to Time Capsule until the next backup occurs.
    Anybody have ANY ideas? This worked fine before the 10.5.6 update!

    I am having a similar problem. Never tried it before installing 10.5.6, but have a Time Capsule (500GB) with a 1TB WD MyBook Essential Edition connected via USB. Hardware is password protected by authorized users of network and needs separate login to access. When I initially set it up, it worked fine (though too difficult to set up). The WD storage drive showed up in Finder window as a subset of the Time Capsule after clicking on the Time Capsule icon. I had an "-8072" error message yesterday that I ignored, but then the file contents of the WD storage drive took forever to be viewed in Finder (though video files could be accessed wirelessly). Today started having a problem... coincidentally?... after a Time Machine backup, and got the message: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)." Now I am unable to get into the WD drive when I click on "Connect As" on the Time Capsule icon in the Finder menu... I just get the -8072 error. I no longer even see the Time Capsule disk as a subset of the Time Capsule icon in the Finder Toolbar.
    What is going on???

  • Connecting Time Capsule with WildBlue Satellite Service

    HELP! Please...
    I am trying to set up Time Capsule to work with my satellite service, WildBlue, and I can't get it working properly.
    Before WildBlue was installed, I connected my iMac and my wife's iMac (it's on Mac OS 10.5.0), one at a time, with Time Capsule directly via Ethernet and back-up each iMac.
    WildBlue satellite service was installed yesterday and the installer had no idea how to hook everything up. It was his first install. I was able to connect the WildBlue modem via Ethernet directly to my wife's Mac and made it work. When I try to add the Time Capsule, that's where I run into problems.
    I ran the Ethernet cable from the WildBlue modem to the Internet WAN port on Time Capsule and I could not get it to work at all via AirPort. I tried using AirPort Utility and System Preferences - Network and could not get anything to work. I then ran an Ethernet cable from one of the four Ethernet plugs on the back of Time Capsule to the Ethernet plug on the back of my wife's iMac and was able to connect to the internet and get email on her Mac. I tried to run Time Machine, but it can't find Time Capsule! The only way it seems that I can get her iMac to do anything is to either connect it directly to the modem without Time Capsule or run the Ethernet cable thru Time Capsule to the iMac and not be able to connect to Time Machine. I still could not connect my iMac (it's on Mac OS 10.5.4) via Airport no matter what I did.
    Can someone help me so that I can get Time Capsule connected and working the way it should?
    My understanding is that I should be able to connect Time Capsule to the WildBlue modem via Ethernet and then connect my wife's iMac directly to Time Capsule via Ethernet and still be able to run Time Machine to back-up her iMac. Her iMac and the WildBlue modem sit in the same room together and my iMac is on the other side of the house where I want to use AirPort to connect to Time Capsule so that I can back-up my iMac and have access to the internet. If this isn't the way it is going to work can someone explain it to me on how it should and how I should set everything up to work correctly?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.
    Rod

    You can, but devices connected to the D-Link switch will drop to a maximum of 100 Mbps speeds. The Time Capsule supports 1,000 Mbps or Gigabit speeds.
    If you plan to transfer a lot of files using Ethernet, the numbers speak for themselves.

  • How can I view my time capsule pic with my iPad

    How can I view my time capsule pic with my iPad

    What do you mean by "time capsule pic"
    Do you mean pictures stored on the TC?
    The ipad has no ability to access files.. so you need a file app.. there are plenty of them available.. filebrowser is one. What application you use to view files will depend on the format of the files.. google for that.
    The TC has no media server ability whatsoever.. it is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. And should be treated as such.. especially to remember they die.. rather badly and suddenly.. and are difficult to backup should they do so.. it is design as a backup target for TM.. but TM cannot backup a TC or any other network drive.

  • I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi.  When I try to connect time capsule to the modem via an ethernet cable I am unable to and I also lose my wifi connection

    I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi as well as ethernet ports for internet TV and Sonos.  But when I connect Time Capsule via an ethernet cable to the back of the modem I am unable to get it to work and I lose my wifi connection completely. I added Time Capsule to back up data and also to extend the reach of my wifi with an airport extreme hooked up by another computer.

    Put the TC in bridge before you plug it in.. ie do the setup in isolation to the rest of the network..
    I would also start a new wireless name on the TC so it is different to the cable router..
    If you want to be exacting also set wireless channels so the cable router is set to say channel 1 and the TC set to 11 for 2.4ghz. Then plug it in.. you will have no trouble as the TC will get an ip address as part of the existing networking.. then extend the wireless using the extreme.

  • Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive

    Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive connected to time capsule via usb. (as an precaution just incase time capsule fails)
    Thanks

    Yes, if the USB drive has been previously formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the Disks tab below the icon
    Click Archive
    Allow plenty of time for the copy process to occur. You will not be able to make Time Machine backups from your Mac until the Archive process has completed.

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

  • How to connect Time Capsule?

    I am looking for a backup solution and I am consider a Time Capsule. Consider the following situation:
    Mac Pro
    Leopard
    I have a few questions:
    1. Can I connect the Time Capsule via ethernet and direct Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule using ethernet?
    2. If I do not use ethernet, can I use the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule to connect to my Mac Pro and use it with Time Capsule that way?
    3. What hard drive manufacturer is used in the Time Capsule?
    4. I understand the Time Capsule has built in WI-FI, but if I do not want to use WI-FI for back-up what are my other options if 1&2 do not work above to connect Time Capsule to my Mac Pro?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +"1. Can I connect the Time Capsule via ethernet and direct Time Machine to backup to the Time Capsule using ethernet?"+
    Certainly.
    +"2. If I do not use ethernet, can I use the USB port on the back of the Time Capsule to connect to my Mac Pro and use it with Time Capsule that way?"+
    No, this is not possible. The USB port will support compatible printers and an outboard USB drive.
    +"3. What hard drive manufacturer is used in the Time Capsule?"+
    Difficult to say. I'm sure Apple uses different suppliers. The only way to know is to open up the Time Capsule (voiding the warranty). The "Get Info" command may possibly supply some general information.
    +"4. I understand the Time Capsule has built in WI-FI, but if I do not want to use WI-FI for back-up what are my other options if 1&2 do not work above to connect Time Capsule to my Mac Pro?"+
    You can connect to the Time Capsule via ethernet or wireless. If you do not intend to use the wireless capability of the Time Capsule at all, you can turn off the wireless using AirPort Utility, the setup application that is used to configure the Time Capsule.

  • Can't connect time capsule to imac

    I can't connect Time Capsule (TC) to the iMac.  I get the following message: Another device on the network is using your ocmputer's IP address.

    So does the Mac get an IP from the network or is it self allocated?
    Does it have internet?
    Can you please give me some more info.. I want the IP of the TC.. if still default then it is 10.0.1.1
    What IP has your Mac got? Just get it from the network preferences. You have  direct access via the airport icon.
    We have seen any number of issues with Lion and latest TC firmware. Why it works on one computer and not another I don't know.
    Try rebooting all the network items.. turn everything off and start in correct order with a few minutes in between.
    modem---main router (TC if that is it)----wireless extenders----then clients.
    Does the TC now appear?
    If not from a computer that can access it, do a reset of the TC and change all the names to SMB compliant.
    Short, no spaces no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Passwords can be longer.. but same rules.. nothing more than 20 characters.
    Lock the wireless channels.. for 2.4ghz, 1, 6, 11, and try each in turn if you have issues.

  • HT201250 Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet?

    Can i store my files on time capsule from my ipad, and copy them back, without using itunes to sync the tablet? i want to buy an iPad Air and to forget my laptop and i think that even the 128 gb wont be enough some times. I am wandering if time capsule can be used as external hdd and to connect on it via wifi ...

    No. You cannot access your Time Capsule directly from an iOS device. The only way to back up an iOS device is to a computer through iTunes or to iCloud, though in some cases you can open and save files via another cloud-based service such as Dropbox.
