How can I disable SSID broadcast with Time Capsule?

I have always disabled the SSID broadcast with other devices. It is a big help with securing the networks. Can this be done with Time Capsule? If yes, please tell me how.
Thanks.

You can by turning on hidden network.
Open the airport utility .. click on your TC, and then edit.. go to the wireless TAB. Click on wireless options. Click Create hidden network.
Let me add in modern world.. it is totally useless. A person can see your hidden network using any standard wireless analysis software. It adds no security at all.. and WPA2 Personal with a decent password 10-20 characters mix of upper and lower case plus numbers is still solid.. add more characters if you are paranoid.. but honestly hiding SSID does nothing.

If you did not know it is not part of the IEEE wireless standard.. it therefore often leads to problems with clients.
There are many other reasons given in the article above..

How can I Bkp my Iphone with Time Capsule?

No, you will have to re-create the playlists manually on the computer. Did you somehow delete your iTunes Library and the content that exists within that library? If you attempt to sync the phone with an iTunes Library that does not have all the content that the phone has, then the content on the phone will be replaced with the content from the computer.

How can i connect plex app with time capsule

i have a time capsule 2TB and iphone 5s and ipad mini 2
i stored all my movies on the TC and i can acces them by imac and apple tv
i just bought plex for ipad and iphone and don't now how to connect to TC
i want play these movies by ipad by plex connected to TC but don't know how to
please help

i just don't know to acces the TC with the plex app i tried several thing like port forwarding but can't figure it out
The plex app is a client.. you must be running a plex server in your network..
https://plex.tv/ios
Since the Apple Time Capsule cannot host any media.. since it has no media extensions it is impossible to support plex server on it. You must run a plex server on a computer or intelligent device.. TC doesn't rate as it is a fixed router with nothing to help you.

How can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf in sdk

Hi,
in asc2.0 we need 'fontswf' script to embed fonts instead of use .as file directly.
but here is a problem
I cannt disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf ?
because I have found an issue when I set advancedAntiAliasing is true, then the textfield (which font is embeded) antiAliasType doesn't work even type is advanced. I need set advancedAntiAliasing is false (in asc1.0 you can set it by .as file)
now i just set the sharpness and thickness to workaround in used asc2.0
but i think that is not great.
so how can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf or any other solution?
thanks
hbb

Hello -
That setting is not fully supported. You can explicitly call it like this:
./compc -include-sources ../samples/test/Main.as -output ../samples/test/Main.swf -advanced-anti-aliasing=true/false
So, that is the compiler option that you want to use in order to disable it. The example I show you here uses the command line tool but it is a valid switch via Flash Builder as well

I don't have access to my phone at the moment so I'm going on memory alone. On your homescreen follow Options>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting, or maybe you'll see Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting. I'm sorry I can't be more specific without a phone in front of me.
Let us know if that helps you.

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).

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.

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.

Can i use existing airport with Time Capsule

i have already bought an airport, but can i use it with Time Capsule OR do I need to buy the $299 Time Capsule wireless hard drive?

If you are telling us that you have already bought an AirPort Extreme, and that you want to connect a USB hard drive to the AirPort and use that for Time Machine backups, this is not officially supported by Apple.
Some users seem to be able to make this work, while others.....like me....who try this have nothing but problems.
To be officially supported, you need to connect a hard drive directly to your Mac for Time Machine backups or use a Time Capsule.
