Sorry, but I really don't think this is something that the TC's USB port & File Sharing function would be able to support.
Have you tried this combination connected directly to your computer? ... and did it work?

  • How do i access an external hard drive through time capsule from my macbook

    I've just bought a 2GB Time Capsule but I can't see my external hard drive plugged in to the Time Capsule's USB in Finder from my Macbook.
    When I plug the hard drive in to the Macbook the drive appears on the desktop. HDD was originally set up for a windows machine, I've read some other posts that say the Time Capsule won't back up the drive unless it's Mac Formatted... does the same apply if you are just trying to access it and copy files etc?
    I'm connected wirelessly through the Time Capsule.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Niel
    ... so if I have a correctly formatted HDD, I presume I can just see the HDD in Finder under 'Data' in Time Capsule?
    I might just transfer the files I need from my HDD connected to my Macbook on to the TimeCapsule over the wifi and sort the formatting issue later.

  • I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

    I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

    If you've not started the new computer yet, after you've started it you'll answer a few questions and then be asked whether you want to restore the computer. If you answer yes you'll be asked the source. Choose hard drive - make sure the TimeMachine drive is plugged in. Choose the TM drive from the list and let it go. It will take a while.
    If you've already started the computer look for Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. You'll be asked the same question about the source. Follow the instructions above.

  • Move data from external hard drive to time capsule

    I want to move data from my external USB hard drive to time capsule.
    If I drag and drop, it seems go through my computer, and it's 500 gig of data, that impossible, is there a way to direct copy?
    Thanks in advance

    Nope. 

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule?

    Is it possible to "extend" Time Capsule storage with an external hard drive? If I connect a hard drive to Time Capsule using its USB slot, would I be able to access it wirelessly from my Mac the same as I access the built-in Time Capsule drive? If so, will it be slower than the native drive?

    1. No.
    2. Yes. The external drive will be treated as a separate volume instead of adding to the capacity of the internal drive.

  • How do you back up an external hard drive with time capsule?

    how do you back up an external hard drive with time capsule?

    Will time capsule back up the machine and the hard drive that is plugged into the machine?
    Yes, if the hard drive with the video files is formatted correctly for Mac
    On the Mac with the hard drive connected....click on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the screen
    Click Time Machine Preferences
    Click Options
    Here you will see a list of items that have been excluded from backups
    Click the name of the hard drive to highlight it
    Click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the hard drive from the list of excluded items
    The hard drive will now be backed up with your Mac on the next pass that Time Machine makes

  • How to export photo to external hard drive?  (time capsule 3t)?

    cant find photo in hard drive. where does iphoto store photo? i looked for the foler everwhere....

    how to export photo to external hard drive?  (time capsule 3t)?
    Simple - launch iPhoto, select the phtoos and export (file menu ==> export) to the destination of yoru choice - see the user tip onexporting for details on the export optiopns - https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents
    However is the Time Capsule being used for Time Machine backups? If it is do not use it as an external drive too - it needs to be dedicated to one use only
    cant find photo in hard drive. where does iphoto store photo? i looked for the foler everwhere....
    And this is a totally different question - by default in your iPhoto library - and to access then see the user tip on accessing yoru iPhoto files - https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents
    You never access them directly - always using the supported access methods

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule for off site back up?

    I like having a copy of everything at another site in case of a house fire. Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule? I would store that hard drive at work and bring it home monthly or something to back up Time Capsule. Thanks!

    Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule?
    That is exactly what the Archive function on the Time Capsule is for. Connect a USB drive and click Archive, and a mirror image of your Time Capsule will be copied over to the USB drive.  It's a slow process that will take 4-8 hours depending on how much data is on the Time Capsule, so best to start things late at night and let them run overnight.
    Another option would be to use a commercial application like Carbon Copy Cloner to keep your backup.  The advantage to this approach is that once the first "master" backup is done, the application will only back up the changes on the Time Capsule that have occurred since the last backup. So, subsequent backups will be much faster, probably only taking about 10-15 minutes.

  • I want to add more capacity on hard drive of time capsule. Can i add a normal usb driver? I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network? It will work as fast than time capsule? Thanks

    I want to add more capacity on hard drive of time capsule. Can i add a normal usb driver? I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network? It will work as fast than time capsule? Thanks

    Can i add a normal usb driver?
    Yes, but be sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    I will see it as an external drive in the time capsule network?
    The drive will appear as a shared network drive, like the Time Capsule.
    It will work as fast than time capsule?
    No, the drive will operate at about half or 50% of the speed of the Time Capsule.

  • Using Tiger 10.4.11 and trying to back up hard drive on time capsule

    I have successful set up time capsule to be my base internet station. Now I want to copy my hard drive onto Time Capsule but cannot figure out how to do it. I visited the apple store today in NYC and they folks there suggested I use "migration assistant". I have done this and migration assistant cannot locate my time capsule. I have attached an ethernet cable from my computer to the time capsule and this does not help. Can anyone suggest how I can copy my files from my hard drive to the time capsule? Thanks (as an aside I have leopard and plan to install as soon as I can back up my hard drive on time capsule. Leopard should make back up painless going forward).

    I've found a solution, no need to post a response. Thanks!

  • How do I backup my external hard drive to time capsule?

    How do I back up my external hard drive to time my time capsule?

    Two requirements:
    1) The drive must be connected directly to your Mac via USB, FireWire or Thunderbolt.
    2) The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    After both requirements have been confirmed......
    Click the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Click Time Machine Preferences
    Click Options
    Here you will see a list of items that are currently Excluded from backups, so your hard drive will appear here.
    Click on the name of the hard drive to highlight it
    Click on the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from the list of items that are Excluded from backups
    The drive will be backed up on the next pass that Time Machine makes. Time Machine will continue to back up any changes that are made on the hard drive on subsequent backups.

  • Daisy chaining two Lacie Firewire 800 drives on a G%

    I've had one external drive working perfectly for months. Tried to daisy chain a second drive and can't get the second drive to register on my desktop. Support said to reboot. My system freezes upon shutting down. If I restart with the two connected, neither drives shows and my Eye TV shuts down. As soon as I disconnect the second drive, Eye TV works and the one drive appears. Any suggestions? Apple Care had none except purchasing a port that would handle firewire 800. How trustworthy would that be?

    I've tried daisychaining a new d2 Big Disk Extreme FW800 and a d2 FW800 drive on my G5's FW 800 bus. I can't copy files from one drive to the other without an Error -36 code. I CAN copy to and from the drives to the Mac at nice fast speeds with no errors. Both LaCie drives are updated to their latest firmware, respectively.
    The few times that I was able to copy a small folder from the d2 to the Big Disk, it took forever.
    As a result of this thread, I'm now awaiting the delivery of a Belkin FW800 3 port hub. I hope this will clear up this issue, as I need to be able to move data between the two drives (both of which passed their tests via Disk Utility, Drive Genius, and DiskWarrior in flying colors).
    I have noticed the older d2 FW800 has a lower firmware number than the Big Disk, however, the LaCie Update Tool reports that each drive is at its current appropriate firmware number. And yes, I ran the Update Tool independently on each drive, while the other was unmounted and unplugged.
    Any advice?

  • HT201250 can i back up my iTunes on one external hard drive to another external hard drive through time machine?

    I have my itunes on an external hard drive which I use on my macbook. Can I back these files up through time machine onto a second external hard drive?

    For TM yes, for another backup program running on the mac yes. You can avoid the NTFS issue by installing a NTFS driver in your mac: there are two proven ones: Paragon and NTFS-3G. These drivers make it possible for a mac to read and write NTFS formatted drives.
    But it will not help TM (I am not 100% sure about that), but other backup apps it will help.

  • Backing up two hard drives with Time Capsule

    I plan to install an additional hard drive in my i7 Macbook Pro via OptiBay. Can a Time Capsule back-up both hard drives easily via Time Machine?

    As long as it's formatted for a Mac, yes.
    Once it's installed, running, and formatted, go to +System Preferences > Time Machine > Options.+ If it's listed in the exclusions box, just select it and click the minus sign at the bottom.
    Note that Time Machine usually requires 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up, to be able to keep a reasonable "depth" of backups for you.
