How come I can't see my ipad with time capsule?

When on my macbook pro and having the time capsule, i don't have visibility to my ipad on my mac? Why?!?!

What visibility are you wanting??
If the ipad has internet via the TC, then it should be able to backup to itunes in the computer.. otherwise the computer will not really see the ipad at all.. it is not a network share.
The file structure of the ipad is deliberately hidden.. and therefore it does not see files on a TC or computer.
You can load a filebrowser app into the ipad.. but that will still not enable the computer to see the ipad.. it is still not a network resource.. AFAIK.. I don't have ipad.. so check what you are trying to do with the more like this on the right.. or in the ipad section.

Can I backup my iPad with Time Capsule

I have recently set up my new TC and need to know if it can be configured to automatically backup my iPad. I rarely use anything other than my iPad.

No. An iPad cannot backup to a TC. iTunes backs up the iPad. Time Machine will backup your iTunes folder and all other relevant folders to the TC.

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

HT1614 How come I can't see "Nike+" option in itunes when I plug in my iphone? I have it turned on in my iphone and have work out data in it.

How come I can't see "Nike+" option in itunes when I plug in my iphone? I have it turned on in my iphone5 and have work out data in it.

Hello Kanji0513,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
I found this bit of info about the way Nike+ works on the iPhone and iPod Touches versus the way it works with other model iPods.
Your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS or later wirelessly sends workout data to nikeplus.com from wherever you are on the road. So right after your run, you can track your progress and analyze your performance. If you walk or run with iPod nano, workout data is sent to nikeplus.com when you connect it to your Mac or PC.
From: http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/sync.html
The option in iTunes only appears if you are not using an iPod Touch or iPhone.
All the best,
Sterling

They could barely be more vague.

How can I Bkp my Iphone with Time Capsule?

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 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 to Sync iPhone/iPad with Time Capsule (wirelessly)

Hi - I am wondering if there is way to sync my iPhone or iDevices with Time Capsule wirelessly. Please let me know if there is and how?
Thanks in advance..

The iOS devices....iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc.....sync to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud.
See this Apple support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
It is not possible to sync iOS devices directly to the Time Capsule.

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..

You will need to add an Apple - AirPort Express to be able to stream your iTunes data to your amp/speaker setup.

Where do you send the WOL from? Another computer? From the same network? How are each machines connected ?

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.

How come I can't see my Ipod Touch on Itunes?

When I had the 9.2 version (the one before 10), just recently before I changed it to 10, my Ipod Icon wouldn't show up on Itunes so I couldnt sync my ipod or do anything, even though it was plugged and was charging. So, then I was like okay, maybe that's my cue to download the newest version of Itunes. Well once I did that, I could sync and see my ipod again on Itunes for a few days, but just now, I plugged in my Ipod and it's doing the same thing again! It's charging, but I can't see my ipod and its options. So I'm not sure if it's my Ipods problem or maybe it's not compatible to the version? I have the 2Gen Ipod touch. Anyone know?

i too have a 2nd gen Touch and it works fine with iTunes 10.
try this:
(a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
(b) reboot into _*safe mode*_
(c) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
(d) run the combo
(e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
(f) run +software update+ from the  menu and install any updates offered.
connect your Touch now. what happens ?
