Dolphin and Apple Time Capsule

Hello,
I need to recover some files on an apple time capsule on my university network. So I installed samba. When I use dolphine and go to Network, the disc appear here. However, I can not connect to it.
Could not connect to host for smb://NameOfTheServer.local:445/
I tried using other files manager but they also can not connect. They time out and says the can not connect to an ip starting by 169. I tried mounting manually the disk, but I do not think I use the good ip.
What can I do?
Thank you

Sadly my 'technical' discussions with ATT have never been helpful. Whether it is Uverse, or the phone. The take there is that I bought the product, it isn't theirs and so its not really their responsibility. Which I suppose has its place, they can't be responsible for every form of product out there. They don't sell this.

NM and Apple Time Capsule

I've just downloaded the trial of NM Pro and the MAC add on and set up at home on 2xPCs and 1xMac, wireless access is provided by an Apple Time Capsule which also acts as a hub for connecting 2xPrinters and is where all the families media (photos and music) are stored,
All works well except for one potential 'show stopper'... NM won't allow me to share the media folders on the Apple TimeCapsule returning the error message, "Unable to Share Folder, The folder is on a network volume and cannot be shared".
Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this?
Many thanks

Fibre broadband and Apple Time Capsule

I wanrt to start using my Apple Time Capsule as my router, rather than the BT HomeHub.
I know what cables go where, it's when I get to the AirPort Utility stage that gets a little confusing for me.
I know you need to select PPPoE,
I put my username in Account Name,
I leave password blank.
It is when I get to DNS Servers, I do not know what to put in there.
I am running OS X Mountain Lion with all the lastest updates installed.
Can anyone help?

I tried [email protected] as my username but it would not work. It works with my username. It is all over the internet that you leave the password blank, otherwise if you put a password in, again it doesn't work.
You do NOT get an option on the Time Capsule to have DNS set to auto. You only have the option to put in your primary and secondary DNS.

Virgin media super hub and apple time capsule

Hi - I'm just about to take delivery of a virgin media super hub ( as Virgin are currently increasing our Speed) - but currently have a Time Capsule, how would this work with the new Hub? I still want to use the TC but as the new hub is both Router and Modem? Can anyone give me some "laymens" guidance please?
Many thanks

I am still following the thread! I am very interested to read your findings, since I am running an old-style non-wifi 20mb ntlworld cable modem and a newly acquired TC and I have been wondering if the TC was up to the job of distributing the data flow on a 100 mbps line (which I thinking of upgrading to).
In theory the TC is well up to the speed required.. wan to lan throughput of the latest gen or previous one should be same as the 5th generation AEBS which is tested around 430mbps..
See http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/31564-apple-airport-ext reme-gen-5-reviewed
They use the same processor and basic functions. 1.2ghz processor should be well up to the speed.
In reality lots of people are reporting problems.. there is some issue that needs fixing with firmware or OS upgrade. It doesn't hit everyone, but the TC has enough reports of issues to be wary.
I know that in practice the Virgin service can only serve data as quickly as the websites/game sites you are connected to, but I wonder if the TC will be a 'throttle' on the Virgin network. If so, maybe it's best to operate 2 separate home networks, on different channels: (1) Virgin router and (2) TC. What do you think is the best way to handle this issue?
On my home wifi network, we currently use 2 macbook pros, 1 macbook that can only use 802.11g at best, 3 ipads and 2 PS3s. The PS3s are the most connection speed-sensitive (gaming) but any of the others might be used for streaming video at any time.
You can setup two networks.. just bridge the TC.. and set its wireless to a fixed channel different from the virgin router. There is no problem with doing that, and you are not double NATting doing it. Try to avoid double NAT as that would really give you two networks and the one will be hidden from the other.

TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbooks

Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbook pro & macbook air? How about the simultaneous use? Will I as well open it in my ipad and iphoto?

How Come? I thought that to an external drive move iphoto library is not a problem - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3012995?tstart=0. And Apple Time Capsule including the an external drive.

How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

Hello,
I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance
Moebius

Go back to your first setup ...
Verizon router with wireless turned off
Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
Method 1:
With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
Method 2:
This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.
With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule. You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side. Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports. If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
Method 3:
This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge WinTV extender which allows regular TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows streaming to a Mac or iPad, iPhone, etc. I need to open a port on the router to allow this to work.

I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge Win TV extender which allows TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows for the TV to be streamed on a Mac, Iphone, Ipad. I need to access the router set up options to open a port on the router to allow this program to stream the TV to the Mac and Iphone. I do not know how to access the apple time capsule router to change the settings to open a port on the router. help please.

Firstly you do not need to open ports to stream locally.. there is no port block in local LAN.. only WAN to LAN. So there is a good chance it is not needed at all..
Opening ports on the TC I strongly recommend a v5 airport utility.. you can download one for windows if you don't have a Mac.. iOS version of the utility I am not sure but it will not work to do complex things.
In the v5 utility go to the NAT area, and click on port mappings.
Sorry I don't have a screen shot at the moment of the actual mapping page.. but simply put the IP of the device you want opened and the port.
There are plenty of posts with this info if you google.
But as noted.. this is purely WAN to LAN.. nothing else.

Apple Time Capsule and Comcast Internet.. a Relationship from HE77

Hello,
I cannot believe I have waited this long to ask for help from you guys, but here I am pleading for advice..
I have Comcast Internet, and Direct TV television service. I've been experiencing major issues with both but I think that I've realized the issue. My wifi signal with Comcast All in One or the seperate modem.router they tried SUCKED!!! But I'm pretty sure that the issue is the fact that I have 2 digital baby monitors that run on a 2.4ghz frequency, which is exactly the frequency that Comcast wifi runs on.
The reason why I brought up the Direct TV thing is bc I've had them at my house several times because my Whole Home Media Center simply would not stay online, and when it did, its speeds were so slow downloading on demand content. But, everything in my house is slow, not just Direct Tv. This week the Direct Tv people hardwired their equipment directly to the Arris All in One Comcast router so that shoule alleviate that issue.
My thoughts are this. I know that my Apple Time Capsule can put off 2.4 as well as 5ghz frequency. So my questions are:
Can i have both the all in one AND the time capsule putting off their own wifi signals.. The all in one using their standard 2.4ghz for some things, and the Time Capsule putting of the 5.0ghz for others.. If so, how do I do this and not have any issues such as double NAT, and things like that?
Should I just put the All in One in Bridge mode, and simply use the 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz from the Time Capsule to address this issue? How do i do that? Also, would having the direct tv equipment plugged into one of the 4 ehternet ports on the All in One still allow it to pull internet from it, or should I just plug that into the time capsule as well?
Are there devices that for whatever reason will NOT be able to log onto the 5ghz frequency?
I keep hearing about bandwith this, and bandwith that.. I know I have a lot of devices pulling internet at once including, 5 direct tv recievers that somehow always need to be online, 3 iphones, 2 ipads, imac, apple tv, smart tv, laptop, xbox 360 (which really isnt ever even plugged in) Is there any reason to be fearful that the bandwith the Time Capsule puts out may not be able to handle this load any better or worse than the all in one?
I will but lunch and/or dinner for anyone that can help me get this working, i swear!!

But I'm pretty sure that the issue is the fact that I have 2 digital baby monitors that run on a 2.4ghz frequency, which is exactly the frequency that Comcast wifi runs on.
That will sure as anything mess up your wifi.
This week the Direct Tv people hardwired their equipment directly to the Arris All in One Comcast router so that shoule alleviate that issue.
Ah.. hard wired.. that is the solution. Do not use wireless for media streaming.. it is destined to fail.

You cannot turn off 2.4ghz in the TC.. but that is unlikely to be an issue.
Bridge the TC.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.. Use the same SSID as the Comcast all in one. Same security.. but use a different channel.. how you will do that with baby monitors x 2 I am not sure.. you may have to accept some overlap. There are only three non-overlapping channels, 1, 6, 11 .. pick the least signal one where you setup the TC.
Should I just put the All in One in Bridge mode
No you cannot do that. You can turn the wireless off though.
Also, would having the direct tv equipment plugged into one of the 4 ehternet ports on the All in One still allow it to pull internet from it, or should I just plug that into the time capsule as well?
That is why the unit cannot be bridged.. you will mess up the TV.
Are there devices that for whatever reason will NOT be able to log onto the 5ghz frequency?
Most old stuff.. only the most recent iphone and ipad are 5ghz. Most stuff requires 2.4ghz.
And there is an issue.. range of the 5ghz is poor.. you need high power wireless devices.. and none of the apple routers rate above mediocre. Even high power ones suffer dropoffs.
I keep hearing about bandwith this, and bandwith that.. I know I have a lot of devices pulling internet at once including, 5 direct tv recievers that somehow always need to be online, 3 iphones, 2 ipads, imac, apple tv, smart tv, laptop, xbox 360 (which really isnt ever even plugged in) Is there any reason to be fearful that the bandwith the Time Capsule puts out may not be able to handle this load any better or worse than the all in one?
To be honest it is not going to fix the basic problem.. you probably do not have enough internet bandwidth share.. but the more devices connected the lower time slice each one gets .. that isn't the main trouble though.. it is the efficiency also drops off. Apple routers have no QoS.. this is important.. some things need real time connections.. streaming media, voip, etc.
Other stuff doesn't .. uploading or downloading email or updates. It is important that a choked system has a way of getting the best out of limited resources.. and that is QoS Quality of Service.
Look at a better router.. I recommend Asus RT-N66U as having far superior range and handling QoS.
You should also do a proper site survey to see how much wireless signal you really have.. but again you run into trouble.. the baby monitors are not going to show up unless they are wifi based, which is unlikely.
Sorry but until you can finish with the baby stuff you are going to have to live with non-ideal world.

HT1766 How can I use my iPad,iPad Mini,iPhone to connect and access my Apple Time Capsule?

I have Apple Devices in my household and can only access my Apple Time Capsule from my MB Pro.
None of the others can. And as my family have more than the limit of Five Apple devices, is there some way Apple will allow us to connect to the family iTunes Account.
It seems to me that Apple are behind the way families and their products are used in an "Apple Family" household.
We are not a happy family at the moment !

Your statement is a bit confusing. Up to 10 devices can be associated with one Apple ID and no more than 5 can be computers, so Where you are getting the 5 device limit may be a misunderstanding about only 5 can be computers. So you can all connect to the family iTunes account.
As far as connecting to the TC, there is an app for that.

The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

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

Will the Apple Time Capsule back up both Apple and Windows in a Virtual macine

Will Apple Time Capsule back up Windows as well as Apple data in a virtual machine with Parallels?

Windows home version MSBackup, cannot backup to network drives.
That was a little bonus from Bill for those who didn't fork out for Pro or Ultimate.
Like people with home versions would never need to backup to network drives.. oh no.. never!!
You need to mount the hard disk in windows for it to work.
It will help a lot if you load the airport utility for windows into your windows OS.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
Open windows explorer and type the network address of the TC.
\\TCname.local (where TCname is the correct network name of the TC).
The TC should have all names that are windows compatible.. ie
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is just wrong. It is too long, it has spaces and it has apostrophe which is illegal.
A good name for the TC is TC
The default hard disk share name of data is fine. It should not be Time Capsule or anything again that is over long .. has spaces or is otherwise incompatible with windows.
A good name for the TC wifi is TCwifi
Then you can mount it \\TC
typing that directly into the address bar of windows explorer.
There are still issues with windows naturally and running in parallels I have no idea what other issues might come up.
Tell me if you have issues.. but you will need most likely to check the network.
Open a command window and ping the TC by name and by IP address. If IP address works just mount by IP.
\\10.0.1.1 for example .. and that is the default TC IP address when in router mode.
If you still cannot access the TC my recommendation is to use a USB drive and use that.. it is 10x easier and more reliable than mixing Mac and windows backups on the TC.

Apple time capsule and BT Hub 3

I have just swapped over to BT and have recieved the Hub 3.
My original setup was using an apple time capsule providing my WIFI network, and then using the previous ISP router just acting as a modem. I would like to do the same with the BT home hub 3 as I have a reasonable complicated WIFI network for which the time capsule is already set up and working fine and I do not want to change this.
All I am wanting to do is plug the time capsule into the HUB 3 using an ethernet cable, but I cannot seem to get it to work. The previous router had a WAN port, but the HUB 3 does not seem to have one. Any ideas?

Hey Tommy,
I anticipate being in a similar situation to Roger, in that I’ve three WiFi computers [1] that I need to migrate...
• from – Virgin Media FTTP modem » ethernet cable » Apple Time Capsule
• to – BT Infinity FTTC Openreach modem » ethernet cable » Apple Time Capsule
...during or after the BT engineer’s BT Infinity installation visit next Thursday.
Thanks for your tips on integrating an existing Apple Time Capsule into a BT Infinity set-up. As I understand you, you’re suggesting swapping from the regular BT Infinity set-up...
The regular BT Infinity set-up (source image page)
...for an Apple Time Capsule based BT Infinity set-up, like this:
An Apple Time Capsule based BT Infinity set-up (source – tommybobbins suggestion in the post above this one)
But AFAIK, it’s the BT Home Hub 3 that provides support for the mutual aid BT FON network; am I correct in thinking this Apple Time Capsule based BT Infinity set-up would deprive other BT customers of a BT FON WiFi hotspot?
AN ALTERNATIVE SET-UP SUGGESTION
I notice that the Openreach modem actually has what looks like two identical LAN ethernet ports side by side:
BT Openreach modem, illustrating dual ethernet LAN ports (source image)
So is it feasible to set up both the BT Home Hub 3 AND an Apple Time Capsule with just the addition of a second ethernet cable?
For instance:
A dual Apple Tim Capsule + BT Home Hub 3 Infinity set-up
Would this set-up work?
If so, would it provide a seamless migration for my three WiFi computers (once the Time Capsule’s been reconfigured with Airport Utility to use PPPoE, as per your instructions), AND a mutual aid BT FON network WiFi hotspot?

The Time Capsule is only a router...with a built in hard drive. It does not have a modem built in, so you will need to use a separate modem with your new calbe service.
If the cable provider offers a modem with their service it would be good idea to use that device, as you know that it will be supported by your provider in the event of any Internet connection difficulties.
If the provider does not offer a modem, I am sure that they have a list of compatible modems on their website, or check with customer support for more information.
