How can I make my new AirPort Time Capsule with VOIP?

I purchased an AirPort Time Capsule because of the modem capability. The modem we have from the phone company isn't very good.
Now I have a little problem. I forgot we have our phone over internet and I cannot figure out how to set it all up.
Any ideas for my latest problem? I'd run back to the store/genius bar, but it's a ferry ride away and I'm not sure it would do any good to go back because all my phone "stuff" (cords, etc) wall jacks, is all here.
Current set up is this:
Modem box has ethernet (yellow) cable going from it to imac. It also has blue cable going from it to ATA Router (smaller black box). Each box (white larger "modem" box, and black smaller ATA Router) have a phone cord going from wall (2 separate jacks) to the box. And obviously each has it's own power cord.
I tried moving all plugs from white modem box to AP TC, but there really isn't a phone jack on back of APTC. It clicked in place in one of the <--> ports, but I'm getting a flashing amber light on the front, and no internet connection.
Any ideas for my latest issue?? I know so much more about computers than I ever wanted to know, but it obviously isn't enough.
Thanks!

There is no modem in the airport routers.. they are all plain ethernet routers.
It sounds like you have adsl modem.. and I would just leave it alone.
But if you want to play and your ISP supports PPPOE and the modem allows bridging or bridge mode.. then you can bridge the modem and use TC to establish the link to the ISP.. on the internet tab use PPPOE and put in your ISP username and password.
You can then plug the ATA into one of the LAN ports of the TC.
Overall this is probably not a great idea.
Exactly what modem are you talking about .. make and model from the base please?? Who is your ISP?
What model is the ATA? Actual model numbers from it please.
Generally you will plug the TC into the modem and use simple bridge mode.
Even though the airport wizard might attempt to take over as main router.. please do the setup manually and choose bridge mode.
See Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

My 2 TB Time Capsule's memory is full because it will not automatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zero backup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and saves the new?

My 2 TB Time Capsule’s memory is full because it will notautomatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zerobackup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and savesthe new?
Neither my local computer consultant nor I have been ableto change any of the settings in Time Machine to correct this problem. Working with the choices in the TimeMachine, there does not appear that there is any way to change the frequency ofthe backups either, so, after a year has elapsed, the time capsule is full, andmy only choice appears to be to erase all the current data on the Time Capsuleand start over, something that I do not want to at all let alone repeat on anannual basis. My questions are:
What can be done to have my Time Capsule delete old filesas it is supposed to do, so it has memory available to allow my computers toback up?
Is this a software problem that can be fixed online or isdoes this require a mechanical fix of defective hardware?

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details.

How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

How can I retrieve data on a time machine if I have forgotten the password?

There are so many passwords.. which one do you mean?
TC password or disk password in the TC.. no problem.. soft reset.
Or recover the password.. via the Tesserax method.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3372
If you encrypted the backup in TM and have forgotten that password you are doomed.. there is no way to recover it I know of.. there is a warning.. very clear.. do not forget the password.

How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and Power Book

How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and MacBookPro

It is generally better to leave the old backups and start again.. unless there is something you particularly need.
But if you desperately want all the old backups you have to copy the sparse bundles.. this will take very long time as it must copy via the computer..

Take particular note of the initial comments.. ie before you read how to do it.. don't do it.

How can I delete everything from my Time Capsule? Disk Utility only gives me the choices of First Aid and Restore.

How can I delete everything from my Time Capsule?
Disk Utility would be used for an internal hard drive on your Mac, or for a drive that was attached directly using USB or FireWire.
The Time Capsule is a network drive. Disk Utility cannot be used for this type of drive.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon
Click the Disks tab below the icon
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a minute or so. This would be fine if you plan to keep the Time Capsule yourself.
If you plan to sell the Time Capsule, you would want to use a more secure erase, like "Zero Out", which will likely take 4-6 hours or so since everything on the drive will be replaced with zeros.

I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

I don't think backup is supported but you may be able to access the TC's internal drive, from the iPhone, with an application like: NetPortal
Note: I haven't actually tried this app, so if someone else has and was successful in accessing the TC's drive they can certainly chime in.
Follow-up. Just downloaded and installed this app ... and I can now verify that it, indeed, can access both my TC's internal and externally attached USB HDD.

How can I connect remotely to my Time Capsule now Mobile Me is gone?

Hi,
I have a Time Capsule with a trio of external hard drives connected to it where I store all my files and backups.
In the past I used Mobile Me's Back to my Mac so that the USB volumes appeared in the shared area in Finder on all my Macs so that I could access my data from anywhere. Great... But...
Now that Mobile Me is gone, is there any way I can do the same with iCloud on a computer still running Leopard (and thus without an iCloud setup option in System Preferences)?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Again, I thank you for your reply, 'LaPastenague'. I can't get over what a wonderful asset these communities are, especially for us eager to learn Apple newbies!
In terms of my network:
Provided by my local cable company, it includes a 1TB Time Capsule that acts as router and host to a USB hub which holds 3 external drives. The internal TC drive stores my data. One of the external drives holds the Time Machine backups from my various Macs, the other two hold media and backups for my kids' PCs, etc. Also on my network is a 5 port switch to accommodate my kids' game consoles and an old networkable DVD player. On the network are also two Airport Expresses. One of the Expresses extends the range of my wireless to the upstairs and the other hosts an inkjet printer. And, finally, on the network is a TCP-IP HP laser printer.
I have played a bit with apps like LogMeIn and Teamviewer and found they work well for things like baling my folks out of technical difficulties remotely, but preferred the Back to My Mac solution offered by Mobile Me to (relatively) safely and (totally) seamlessly mount my Time Capsule's drives as volumes in the Shared section of my Macs' Finder. No fuss, no muss! ...despite Mobile Me's less than stellar reputation, it worked perfectly for me.
I went back to work this week at my job in education and, at first, privately cursed our IT department for bumping up security over the summer break resulting in blocking my home volumes from appearing. Then I realized, of course, that since last I sat at my desk, the Mobile Me service had be closed down and that was the real culprit for the loss of my mounted home volumes.
And, as established earlier in this discussion, my old iMac was never going to play nice with Lion or better to move up to iCloud, so I was going to have to go back to the drawing board.
I appreciate your eBay suggestion. However, although not a domain client, as my old iMac does reside on the school board's network, I'm fairly certain the VPN route would not be an option. I don't imagine building a secure tunnel to my data storage at home would be a priority to our IT department! <G>
USB Flash drives are a pain to sync and keep track of, but I guess that is what I will have to do for work.
<sigh>
Once again, thanks for your help.

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

How can i back-up to my time capsule withoute a timemachine/Mac pc?

I installed my time capsule 3t yesterday but i cant Back up my iPhones and iPad to iT!
I dont have a Mac pc / timemachine but do have a Windows 7 laptop.
How can i give my time capsule instructions to Back up all my aplle devices?

Time Capsule is a dumb hard disk in a router.. you don't instruct it to do anything..
iOS is designed to backup to iCloud and iTunes..
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes can then be backed up via your normal backup.. !!
Well win7 you will have to be creative.. if it has a home version windows you will need to use a 3rd party backup program anyway.
You can copy files to the TC from iOS using a file browser .. eg filebrowser.

How can I print via the AirPort Time Capsule on a Windows 7?

Hey,
First of all, I am really inexperienced about all these things. I have a MacBook from 2009 with OSX Lion and a PC Windows 7 x64. I have got a time capsule (https://www.mikepalmer.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/apple-time-capsule.jpg) connected to my router
and then another router in my room (probably working as an acces point) to which I wirelessly connect my Windows 7.
The thing is that I can see the printer (HP Laserjet P1005) from my Mac but I don't know how to add it to my windows. On a previous PC I added a printer to the time capsule's IP 192.168.1.2 and printed with a considerable delay that way.
As you can see I don't understand how networks work, how IP's work, or how ports work in this matter.
Any help will be much appreciated!!

Hi PGMLEBL,
I am not familiar with Mac product, the best way is ask the HP printer support for the detail support, generally if we know the printer IP address we can add it through add
a network printer, you may can refer the following third party article to add the printer:

How do i transfer data from one Time Capsule to another?

We ran out of space on our old Time Capsule, so I purchased the 2TB model. Problem is that there are no direction (that I can locate) on how to switch over from one device to the other! Can anyone direct me to some online instructions?

The great Pondini.. wonder of TM
http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
saves the day.
But IMHO.. start a fresh TM backup on the new TC.. preserve the old TC for posterity.. about 6months.. after which time if you didn't need anything on it you won't.

How can I download files directly to time capsule?

I currently have time capsule 1TB working wirelessly as a backup for my macbook. I also would like to use it as an external hard drive. I can not figure out how to do this even after reviewing the questions on the forum. I have tried to import video through imovies and the time capsule does not show as a drive I can download into. Any advice?

I also would like to use it as an external hard drive.
Open Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window.
If the Time Capsule icon does not appear here, click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus appear at the top of the screen. Click the Finder menu, then click Preferences. Click the General tab. Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to 'Connected Servers"
Click on the Time Capsule icon on the left side of the window
Double click the folder that appears on the right side of the window
This will mount the Time Capsule disk icon on the desktop
You can drag/drop, copy/paste to this disk
It is generally a good idea to reserve the Time Capsule disk for Time Machine backups as much as possible, as sooner or later there will be a battle for space on the drive.
