How can I see how much data passes through my Time Capsule?

I am thinking of using a cellular data plan at home. My current, rural internet provider is slow and unreliable. I use a MiFi as a backup and have 4G service which is much faster and rarely goes down. I need to see how much data is downloaded and uploaded to compare costs. All our data passes through my Time Capsule.

A similar app to what Bob mentions is peakhour.. it works on any of the newer OS.
https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/peakhour/id468946727?mt=12
It is a good app. BUT.. fat ugly BUTT.. just the same as Bob has explained, it depends on SNMP to work.. and so due to apple removing a very useful and functional protocol from its airport range you can no longer use it. Bizarre.
I strongly recommend a Netgear WNDR3800 (older model now but you can pick up one cheaply on ebay) and a 3rd party firmware called gargoyle. Apple delete my posts if I point you to it, so you will have to search yourself.
Replace your tall TC with the Netgear as the main router.. bridge the TC to it and you can continue to use its wireless and for TM backups. The advantage is that gargoyle will not only measure everyones usage, by IP, it is able to set a quota on everyone using the net and you can set that quota for hourly, daily or weekly or monthly. It will track the usage and you can see at a glance what everyone has used.
It is simple to load.. just like a standard firmware update. The interface is as clear as anyone can make it with such of lot of tools. And the actual router is powerful enough to provide excellent QoS and parental controls on top of measurements and quota.

  • How can i see photos with apple tv from my time capsule files?

    I have photos in my time capsule and i want to display them on my apple tv without a computer. Some sort of browsing in my time capsule from apple tv. Both are in the same wifi net, which uses time capsule as basis,

    Unfortunately, you cannot do that. In order to share photos with your Apple TV, you need to select them through the advanced menu of iTunes on your computer.

    Mine are showing (hence the choice to "hide" them).

    how can i see how much money is in my account

    Open iTunes.  In the left-hand pane, click on the words "iTunes Store."  When the store opens, look at the upper right to see your current balance.
    If instead you only see the words "Sign In," then click it and sign in.  Then the balance for that account will display.
    If you have more than one account,  you will have to log into each one separately to see its balance.

  • How can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing the password ?

    how can i see how many people are using my apple id without changing because some people have it

    I'm not sure that you can. Why have so many people got your password? So many in fact, that you don't know how many.
    You can see how many computers are authorised to play any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store, but that isn't quite the same thing.
    Perhaps a better idea would be to change the password and not let anyone else know what it is. That would at least prevent anyone else from changing it and locking you out of your own account.

    How can I see how many songs I have in iTunes 11?

    If you go to the "Songs" tab, then from the menu select View > Show Status Bar, this will bring up the status bar like iTunes 10 had that tells you how many songs are there, total time of all the songs, and total file size of all the songs.

  • How can I see how many gb a playlist is in itunes

    How can I see how many gb a playlist is in iTunes

    Hello Mkgojets and welcome to Apple Discussion Forums!
    If you are using iTunes 11 (check by clicking in the menu bar while in the application iTunes > About iTunes), then you can click (again in the menubar) View > Show Status Bar or by pressing "Command /" (Command key and forward slash. This will then display the size of your playlist, how long it will take to play etc at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule ...

    So, I am in Oklahoma and my daughter is in Tennessee...
    She has a Time Capsule where the Wi-fi base station quit working, but the hard drive may be OK.
    She bought an Airport Express to use as a wi-fi router.
    The question, then, is:
    How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule to do Time Machine backups?
    Thank you very much for your insights.
    Roberto

    It can be done but is very messy. That is assuming the TC is still functional which I kind of doubt.. the wifi is seldom the only thing that will die .. so whatever problems it has the wifi would be the least of it.
    Anyway.. do a factory reset to get started.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    If the LED is not lit then the TC is dead, not just the wireless.
    The setup for using the TC is explained in the bottom of this thread.
    TC in a second local network.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    The idea is to set the TC to provide router function.. and the computer plugged in by ethernet to as a second network.. but there are rules on how this is done which I have explained in that thread.
    I notice that Mountain Lion deals better with order of network priority than Snow Leopard used to .. so it might not need to have manually set gateway and dns.. although I would still recommend it. It simply stops the second network causing issues.
    It is much easier to simply purchase an external drive and plug that in.
    It is cheaper, faster and more reliable than using the TC for TM anyway.
    Plus a lot of the later machines no longer have ethernet ports.. and using dongles is far from neat.. although thunderbolt to ethernet is IMHO necessary accessory for anyone without ethernet.

    Sorry, but it is not possible to "extend" the Guest Network using either wireless or an Ethernet connection.

  • How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months?  Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
    Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule.  Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
    I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
    But, you may disagree.
