Grant rights on Time Capsule

I created multiply users on my Time Capule configuration.
today if user1 copy a file , only him can see it.
can we change it and modify the rights to allow user 2 to view the user1 files ?

Look for posts under More Like This
Bob Timmons has done lots of posts about issues with setting up Time Restrictions but it is much easier for you to start with the general references above.. and then post a screen shot if you actually run into issues.
It is far from safe and secure btw.. smart kids can easily figure ways around it depending on their ages.

  • Time Capsule by default backup only data files and excludes program files like Photoshop, Lightroom, and MS Office, etc... right? or do I have to exclude manually?

    Time Capsule by default backup only data files and excludes program files like Photoshop, Lightroom, and MS Office, etc... right since if crash I can reinstall and not want to take up disk space for applications that I have CD to reinstall?  Or do I have to manually exclude these?

    Time Machine will back all files except files like caches, trash or temp files, you can select with file you would like to exclude by going into the Time Machine preferences.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

  • On the new time capsule a/c, if you lay the device on its side does it change its signal strength in any way? Does the time capsule have to stand up-right all the time?

    On the new time capsule a/c, does the time capsule have to remain up-right? Can the time capsule lay on it's side and still function?
    Thanks

    Please remember that the Time Capsule's antennas are up at the top of the device, and have been designed to work best in that position.
    In addition, the air flow pattern to help cool the internal electronics has been designed to work best with the Time Capsule in a upright position.
    When I lay the Time Capsule down for 30 minutes, it is noticeably warmer. I can't tell if wireless is affected that much since my home is not that big.
    You could try laying the Time Capsule down, but my recommendation would be that you do not do this. You may get a different opinion from another user, so stay tuned.

  • I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it.

    I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.

    On the Mac......
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    Then.....very important
    Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
    Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
    Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
    If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

  • The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are the exact same thing apart from the ability to backup wirelessly, right?

    The wifi speeds are the same, right?

    A Time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built in hard drive. Wireless speeds are the same.
    You can backup to the Time Capsule using either a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless connectin.

  • Time Capsule/Airport Extreme is the same as a Netgear router, right?

    Idiotic question, I know. I just wanted to be sure before I bought it. I have Comcast cable internet and I'm leasing one of their Netgear Wireless Cable Modem Gateway - CG814WG routers. That router is horrible (the connection dies when my wife is on her computer and I'm playing Halo 3) and I want to replace it with Time Capsule so I can have a better connection with my computers and XBox 360. The Time Capsule/Airport Extreme can replace my Netgear with no problems, right? I believe I'll have a much better network experience without losing connection like I did with my Netgear.
    Side note: The internet feed to the house is fine. My cable tv is fine and the line is good, so I'm figuring it has to be the horrible router since everyone else has complained about that model from Netgear as well. I'm just hoping Time Capsule will be my ultimate replacement.

    Excellent. I did contact my ISP and cross-referenced their list with the bestselling cable modems on Amazon.com. Looks like the Motorola SB5120 Surfboard modem works great. It also has an ethernet port and cable so I guess that'll connect easily to Time Capsule since you said I only need an ethernet cable.
    I guess I might have to make sure the initial setup goes good, in which case I might be back here to make sure I did that right.
    Thanks for the help though. At least I'll know that I'll have the right hardware that works with everything I have.

  • Why doesn't time capsule come with AirPlay and an audio out plug? I have to buy an Airport Express station and put it right on top of my time capsule to wire it to my stereo. Doesn't make sense...

    My Time Capsule is right by my stereo and would like to stream my itunes there. But it looks like I would have to add an Airport express station right on top of my time capsule to do this. Which doesn't make sense to have 2 wireless routers on top of each other. Is that the only way?

    Well you can't do it with a Time Capsule.
    You could get an Apple TV instead of an Air Port Express and then you can get video as well..

  • Is my Time Capsule safe for my new kittens. They love to climb right on top and curl up?

    We recently adopted two sweet kittens and they both love to curl up on top of my Time Capsule for a snooze. Is this safe for them?

    Technically it emits microwave radiation.  The level is normally "safe" but is governed by the inverse square law.  In other words, you are much safer a small distance away than right next to it and I imagine they don't design it thinking you are going to be putting you head on it for prolonged periods of time. The same topic arises when talking about using a cellphone right next to your head/brain.  They have likely determined it is safe for humans to be in the same room, but probably not tested it for tiny kitten brains right on top of the unit for an hour. 
    The other issue is safety for the TC itself.  They are designed to lose heat (which is why the kitten likes it).  If they can't lose heat you end up frying the electronics.
    If it were me I would discourage the kitten from sleeping on it.

  • Is time capsule the right thing for me?

    I am looking for extra storage to go along with the new macbook air I just purchased.  Is time capsule the right product for me?  I basically want to keep movies and other videos but not use up the hard drive space on my laptop.  I want to be able to backup my computer and also access the files when necessary.

    time capsule does back ups of ALL your data on a periodic basis. If you are just storing vids  and music etc, you probably don't want to look at using time capsule. time capsule is there if you have an issues with your mac, and you need to restore all your data.
    i suggest just getting a normal external hard drive about 1terrabyte and don't sync it with time capsule.

  • Is the Time Capsule Right for Our Family?

    I just bought one, but I'm coming to realize I didn't understand how it works. Before purchasing it, I tried to explain our family's needs to Apple Store personnel on several occasions but apparently did not succeed because they indicated it would fill the bill. Please let me try to explain on this format in the hope that someone with a better understanding can clarify for me how it is used.
    First of all, I don't need it as a wireless transmitter. Our family uses a 2005 iMac as a software base station link to our MacBooks and that seems to work okay. A cable modem connects to that iMac, and we also get cable TV and phone service from the cable company.
    What we wanted was a backup disk that we could send data to wirelessly using Time Machine. It struck me that the three most likely ways one could lose data would be a hard-drive (or DVD) crash, fire, or theft. For fire and theft contingencies I wanted to place the Time Capsule in an obscure part of the house away from the iMac. It wouldn't be perfect but it would improve the odds.
    I tried loading my MacBook onto the Time Capsule with an ethernet cable bought for that purpose. The process seemed to work, but I couldn't actually access the data. Later I unplugged the TC. The flashing amber light came on when I reconnected it. The Apple service rep who I then spoke to on the phone said (I think) the Time Capsule must be connected to the Internet either directly from the cable company feed or through an ethernet cable. That would seem to negate two of the three contingencies I thought the Time Capsule would help protect us from. Is she correct? Do readers have needs similar to ours? If so, how do you meet them?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for responding.
    My basic question is this: can I back up data wirelessly to the Time Capsule if it is not directly connected to the Internet? I want to plug it in a socket in another part of the house away from the cable modem. I do not want to connect it to the modem because it would then be close to the other computers, thereby increasing the risk of losing all to fire or theft.
    If I can get past this fundamental issue, I will focus more on making the TC work.

  • Time Capsule isn't doing right

    I have backed up hundreds of GBs since I bought it last march. My average daily back ups is around at least 500mb per day because of updated digital photos. Out of blue, from the time machine window back up meter says shy over 200 GB. It is definitely something wrong with the system. Is there any way for me to solve the problem. It still shows at least 200 gb after I click cancel button many of times. Does my time capsule needs to be reset or what else? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    bmiles,
    *_Incremental Backups Seem Too Large!_*
    Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
    Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
    One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
    If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
    If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
    If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
    Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
    Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
    George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
    *TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
    This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
    *Backups WAY Too Large*
    If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
    This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
    *FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
    Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
    Let us know if any of the above was helpful.
    Cheers!

  • Am I right in thinking that you can't extend your network wirelessly with a time capsule unless your base station is an apple one?

    My new time capsule will only allow me to extend my network via ethernet cable.
    What I really want to do is use it wirelessly as an extension wirelessly.
    The option is there (under other options in airport utility) but when I select it and move on it reverts back to create a new network.
    Why is this?
    Am I trying to achieve the impossible?
    I have an airport express and that be added to my network wirelessly with no issue at all.
    Please help
    Russell

    Can I just "join" the network with my time capsule like I have with my airport express?
    Apple does not present this option....but, even if they did.....this would be the worst possible option to use for backups.
    Can I use my airport express as a base (connected via Ethernet to the router) for my time capsule to extend from wirelessly?
    Yes, you can. The AirPort Express would be configured to "create a wireless network"......then.....the Time Capsule could be configured to "extend a wireless network".
    It is critically important that the Time Capsule be located where it can receive a very strong wireless signal from the AirPort Express in this type of setup. The more that you have line-of-sight between the AirPort Express and Time Capsule, the better your network performance will be and the faster that backups will occur to the Time Capsule.
    A better option in terms of performance would be to connect the Time Capsule to your current modem/router using an Ethernet connection and have the Time Capsule "create" the network. Then, use the Express to "extend" the network.
    Here, I am assuming that you have a new Time Capsule.

  • Set An Access Password on My Time Capsule to Require Password Before Granting Access to a Device?

    I just purchased a 2TB Time Capsule and connected it to my Cable Modem as a bridge.  I want to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to my network.  How can I configure the TC so it requires unknown/unauthorized devices to provide a password to access my network?
    I appreciate any help/insight any of you can provide.

    Then the cable modem must also be the router.. if the TC is in bridge it has no routing and no control of the network. It has to be the main router to actually do anything in the network other than exist.
    How can I configure the TC so it requires unknown/unauthorized devices to provide a password to access my network?
    I appreciate any help/insight any of you can provide.
    Does this mean to the hard disk.. You can set a disk password.
    If you mean your local network, there is no password for ethernet access.. only wireless.
    Set WPA2 Personal password for wireless.
    There is very limited options on the TC even in router mode.. you cannot really block access.
    Also all security on the TC is illusionary since physical access to the TC requires a simple press of the reset and poof.. all passwords disappear.

  • Is Time Capsule right for me?

    Hello - I want to set up a LAN where I can have a printer available for the wired iMac and the MacBook and have an external hard drive available for backup. I know that TC will work for this, but I also wanted to use the TC as an external hard drive to store and access files from both the desktop and laptop. Maybe share the iTunes and iPhoto libraries.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes, but it really is a network attached storage device (NAS). If you haven't started a TM backup, wait until you get Time Capsule as the TM backups created on a locally attached HDD is not compatible with backups created on a NAS like TC. You mentioned you already have an external HDD. If it is USB, you can plug that into TC. If it's formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended - Journaled) it can also be used by TM to back up your Mac. This way your TC could be dedicated to your iPhoto and iTunes data. Or visa versa.

  • I already have a router and I'd like to use Time Capsule just for its hard drive capacity right now. Is this possible? It keeps asking me to plug an ethernet cable into it.

    So I live with 3 others who already had a router running. So for ease Id like to use this device as purely an external hard drive and occasionally back-up my files and store photos/video etc. Is it possible to use this device strictly for that or do I need to constantly give it an internet connection and back-up over wifi that way...?

    Suggest that you consider the option to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the existing wireless network there and backup over the wireless. The Time Capsule functions simply as a wireless hard drive in this type of configuration.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to to follow the guided setup to configure the Time Capsule.  Select the "Join a current network" option when it appears and then choose the option to have the Time Capsule "wirelessly join the network" on the next configuration page.
    Continue to follow the prompts to complete the configuration.
