  • Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

    I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
    However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
    “1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
    2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
    3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
    should be off), click next.
    4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
    5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
    6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
    Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.”
    Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
    Thanks

    When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
    In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
    If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

  • HT3728 set password time capsule using windows

    I lost the disk for the time capsule and am using a windows based computer.  I would like to reset the time capsule password.  How can I do that?

    Hello,
    I have same problem.
    Dell Vostro (Win7) to Timecapsule (7.4.2) using WPA2-Personal = fails authentication
    Dell Vostro (Win7) to Timecapsule (7.4.2) using LAN = success
    iMAC (OSX 10.6.3) to Timecapsule (7.4.2) using WPA2-Personal = success
    MacbookPro (OSX 10.6.3) to Timecapsule (7.4.2) using WPA2-Personal = success
    Have checked passkeys, all equal. Dell 'sees' network, and can identify protocol, SSID etc no prob.
    So, question.. is there a difference in vendor implementations?

  • How do i set up my time capsule with windows

    How do I set up my airport time capsule using Windows 7 home premium?

    If you have the newest AC model TC.. you might be in trouble. Apple specifically state you need v6 airport utility. They do not provide v6 with windows.. only Mac and iOS. If you happen to have iphone, ipad even itouch, you can download and install the airport utility and use that.. you just cannot do the setup from windows.

  • Is it possible to share a disk on airport extreme for both Time Capsule use and Windows use

    Hello
         I was hoping to add some better backup capacity to our home. Can I use the same disk attacheded to the USB port of an Airport Extreme for Time Capsule use for our Macbooks, as well as general use by the windows laptops> If not is it possible to add multiple disks to the Airport Extreme and designate one for Mac Laptops, and the other for Windows use.
    Regards
    Ted

    Regardless of the client's OS, you can use the AirPort Disk (USB HDD attached to the AirPort Extreme's USB) port as a 'NAS' device. You also have the option of partitioning it if you actually want separate volumes to be used between Mac or Windows clients. I would recommend partitioning it for Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which would also format it for HFS+. Normally HFS+ volumes are not readable (natively) by Windows, but the Extreme's File Server will share this drive out with both AFP (for Macs) and SMB (for Windows/Linux) clients.
    However, one note of caution. Do NOT use this AirPort Disk for Time Machine backups as this is NOT supported by Apple. Although a number of users have done so, a number of them also post here complaining of corrupted backups.

  • Using Printer via Time Capsule for Windows

    Hi,
    Could you please guide me how can I use printer connect to my time capsule from windows based PC. I can do it from my mac but unable to print it from Windows PC.
    I have also downloaded Bonjour, it detects my HP printer 1018 but when it comes to driver it is not able to locate also tried so many different option for the driver but unfortuntely no luck so somebody please guide me to print (HP Laserjet 1018 printer) from windows connected via Time Capsule 2TB.

    When you setup the printer choose a local printer.. then change the port to TCP/IP and type in the IP of the TC.
    Complete the setup.. and choose the 1018 HP printer drivers.
    That should be all there is to it.
    Download the airport utility for windows and see if the printer is there.
    Ensure you have the TC setup in WORKGROUP for file sharing.
    Make sure the computer is in home.. not work or public.
    Make sure you do not have homegroup activated.
    If that doesn't work turn off the firewall and try again.

  • Time Capsule and Windows 7 Back Up and Restore

    Hello,
    I would like to know i can manage to save my backup of windows 7 on the Time Capsule using the back and restore tools ?
    I am using on my time capsule the file sharing with the disk password, but it doesnt seems to work.
    Can u please help ?
    Thx !

    Open the guest access and give read and write permissions.
    Also make sure you actually give the WORKGROUP name in the WORKGROUP area, correct to the win7 workgroup..
    If you still cannot access the TC try turning off the firewall in win7.. you may also need to ensure that win7 is recognised as in home, ie local network, not work or public.
    Open a command window and ping the TC to make sure you have network access.
    In windows explorer type \\ipaddressofTC\ into the address bar.. that being its IP address. You can also try netbios name.
    If none of that works post again but it should.. on latest firmware on the TC??
    You need to use windows backup which is near useless.. I recommend you download a utility that can do a proper disk image.. there are plenty around.

  • How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine

    How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine.
    I want to move my itunes library from the mac HD to an external plugged into the time capsule, but I want to be sure this drive will still be backed up by time machine.  I currentlly see no way to do this.

    There is no way. You can connect the drive to your Mac and remove it from the Time Machine exclusion list. Then it will be backed up, but that will stop when you reconnect it to the TC. While it's connected to the TC, you can copy it manually to another AirPort Disk by following the instructions here (with a slight modification):

    Just use the archive utility on the disk page of the airport utility manual setup..
    If you have lion and v6 airport utility.. it missed out. On lots of things.

  • Firmware 7.4.1 Time Capsule and Windows

    Hi
    I know that firmware 7.4.1 has caused problems for people using Time Capsules with Windows PCs:
    http://theappleblog.com/2009/03/06/a...ate-available/
    I know that this problem affects the original TCs as I actually have an original TC and I had the problem with firmware 7.4.1 (fixed by downgrading to 7.3.2).
    Does anyone know if the problem with 7.4.1 only affects the older TCs or does it affect the new updated TCs (released earlier this year) as well?
    I want to buy another TC, but not if it has the 7.4.1 problem and not if it can't be downgraded to 7.3.2.
    Thanks

    i have been using an AEB w/ an attached USB drive to backup wirelessly using Time Machine for several months. I've had no problems restoring several files wirelessly from the TM backup. No problems at all so far. I have a 2nd hard drive attached to the AEB which serves iTunes and movies wirelessly. No problems there either.
    The only issue is that accessing these drives is slow even when the mac is connected to the AEB via ethernet (the TC exhibits the same issue). If you aren't upset by that speed, or don't mind jacking the drive straight into you mac when you need to make big transfers, it's a perfectly livable system. I was certainly hoping that the new AEB and TC would feature upgraded server ability and loosen up that bottleneck but they apparently have not. c'est la vie
    As far as an official comment from apple is concerned, it's doubtful that you'll ever get that. And if you did get it, what good would it do? Do you think they'd pay you a huge settlement if they 'officially supported' this backup method and you wound up with a corrupted backup that caused data loss? It either works or it doesn't and personally I give more credence to the experience of other users and my own cautious trial than I do to any official statement Apple makes on the subject.

  • Time capsule in windows XP

    How do you set up the time capsule in windows XP as a network drive, I tried to map it using \\10.0.1.1\name but i cant see the drive

    Did you load bonjour for windows onto the PC.. ?? That helps alot.
    The full windows version of the airport utility includes bonjour I believe.
    Did you set the TC in the right workgroup.. on the disk file sharing page of the manual setup in airport utility?
    Did you turn on guest access with read and write permissions.
    Also just use the IP and see what resources are available.. if you misspell the name it will already fail. And use SMB compatible names.. ie short no spaces.. no apostrophe in particular.. as Apple setup loves to do.. pure alphanumeric.

  • Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi?

    Can i access my photos saved on time capsule using my pad via my home wifi?   I would like to edit my pictures on my ipad instead of my mac mini and have them stored on my time capsule.

    Sad that people steal stuff.. and..
    Sorry but there is no way windows can recover a TM backup. You have to use another Mac.
    TM is uniquely Mac.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

    Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?  The files seem to be there but I don't know if they are being backed up to cloud.

    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.
