How do I access my Time Capsul data on a PC?

I just got my MacBook stole and I need to access the data stored on my Time Capsul but I dont know how to do that on a PC running on Windows. 
Thanks

If the Mac data is stored as part of Time Machine backups, you will not be able to access it from a PC. On the other hand, if you were using your Time Capsule as a NAS device, you should be able to access any files stored from any network device, regardless if it runs OS X, Windows, or Linux.
If you situation is the latter than please check out this Apple Support article for the details. (Note: Although the article references an AirPort Extreme Base Station, it still apples for a Time Capsule.)

  • How do I access my time capsule over the internet

    How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

    The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
    Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
    You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
    Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

  • How do I access my time capsule using a Ethernet cable connected to my pc?

    I am trying to access my saved files on my time capsule. I don't have internet so I'm trying to use an Ethernet cable.  I'm using a PC laptop not a Mac.  I have no idea how to access them.

    Load the airport utility for windows.. as that helps by loading the bonjour for windows service.
    Then open windows explorer and type the IP of the TC directly which you will find in the airport utility.
    \\10.0.1.1 (that is default.. replace with whatever the actual is).

  • How do i access my Time capsule HD from my PC

    hi
    I have just set up a new Time Capsule, how do i acess the HD on the time capsule from my PC?
    Thanks,
    Joel

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    As the Time Capsule's drive is a network drive, you can access to the Time Capsule's hard drive without any problem.
    In a PC, open a Windows Explorer window and select Network in the sidebar, so you should see your Time Capsule. Just double-click it and you will access to its drive. Also, you should be able to access to it from My Computer

  • HT1178 How can I access the Time Capsule HD from my PC?

    Hi,
    I bought the Time Capsule because I thought it was a easy way of creating a small home network with a shared HD and printer. The wireless setup was easy but everything else doesn't seem that straight forward. I soon found out that I could not just plug my USB printer. You actually need a WPS printer which was not clear in the product description. Anyhow, just need a new printer.
    The main issue for me is being able to share files between my devices (Apple and non-Apple) as well as share the HD. I cannot find a way of configuring my PC or TC so that I can access the TC HD from my PC. Has anyone been able to configure that?
    Thanks

    You can plug a printer in via USB.. but not all printers work.. nor does airprint . but that has nothing to do with the Apple router.. that is how apple designed iOS.
    What printer do you have?
    Getting USB printer working can be tricky because by its nature you are networking a printer designed for local connection.. not networking.
    To share printers and file sharing load the airport utility for windows into the windows computer.. that includes bonjour for windows which is helpful for sharing of apple network devices.. and there is a disk agent.
    That might get you in without anything else.
    No luck remember windows does not work well with the names apple uses by default.. make sure all names on the TC conform with windows networking.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    In windows explorer address bar type
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where clearly you replace the TCname with actual name or the TCIPaddress with the actual IP address).
    If that still fails... then you have firewall issues.. turn off all firewalls in the PC .. there can be several running.
    And make sure the PC is set to home as location . .not office or public.

  • How can I access the time capsule hard drive via ethernet?

    I recently bought a new laptop, as my old one was sadly stolen. I'm trying to connect to my backed up time capsule hard drive via ethernet to retrieve my files, but it doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough I have no issues over wifi. When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network. I have a MacBook Air with an ethernet adapter if that makes any difference. I'm also running the latest OS X and firmware. Wifi is simply too slow for this restoration process, so any suggestions?
    Could I possibly connect via USB? What kind of cable would that require? Is the ethernet issue a problem with my settings?
    Help greatly appreciated

    In the Network panel of System Preferences do you have an Ethernet connection item on the left? If not, authenticate if necessary by clicking on the lock, then click the plus sign at the bottom of that column and add an Ethernet item.
    When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network.
    How are you doing that switching? When you switch to Ethernet do you have connectivity to the Internet? If not, do you see a tiny green light on the Time Capsule next to the Ethernet socket you're using?

    No.

  • Accessing same time capsule data from different computers

    I have been using my Time Capsule to back up several Mac's, and everything is fine. But I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and after several days, wanted to upload (download? sync?) my iTunes library from one computer to the other. I cannot find a way for the new computer to 'see' the files from my old computer.

    Time Machine is not designed to allow that.
    And iTunes is not designed to allow you to do that either.
    You should visit the iTunes discussion area to learn how to move/copy/share iTunes libraries between computers.

  • I can no longer access my Time Capsule Data

    I have a 2TB TimeCapsule connected wirelessly to my home Network via an Airport Express.
    I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  I keep my documents on there, so I can access them from either device. 
    Today when I tried to access my documents frm the iMac, it wouldn't let me, and just kept closing down Finder.  It works fine from my MacBook Pro still though?
    The only change I made to my setup in the last 24 hours is I connected my iMac to the Airport Express via an Ethernet cable to allow faster streaming.  I have tried going back to wireless connection as it was before, but it still doesn't allow me to access my files.  Interestingly Time Machine Backup from my iMac is still working?
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks

    Sad to report that unplugging and re-plugging the hard drive did not help. I had high hopes!
    Un-mounting and re-mounting the external hard drive didn't help either.
    I've moved on to deleting the time machine preferences per another suggestion in another thread - still no luck.
    I continue to get the Making Backup Disk Available warning in the Time Machine Preferences window as the little progress bar spins for 20+ minutes. The whole time, I can hear the external hard drive clicking and chirping like it's being accessed- then the Time Machine preference window reports the same past warning: *The backup disk image “/Volumes/300GB BACKUP/myname’s Mac mini_00254bb40536.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error 109)*
    Off to cruise some more forums for a possible fix - suggestions continue to be welcome!

  • How do i find my time capsule on the internet?

    I use a time capsule (combo wireless router and external hard drive) but I cannot see it on the network.  How do I make it visible?  I would like to merge all my iPhoto libraries on that drive so I can view them from any computer or device and not have duplicates scattered across multiple hard drives.

  • Remotely access my time capsule

    how can i access my time capsule remotely using my ipad?

    Accessing material on a Time Capsule is not normally a function of an iPad using native software. As I understand it, the third-party tools that allow local access use interfaces that only work on the local network.
    Perhaps someone else will come by that knows of a tool to do what you need. I hope I have at least clarified the need.

    I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house and the mobile WiFi is our only option). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    LOL!!
    I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
    Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
    Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
    But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
    It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
    If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
    But please note the end result of this setup..
    very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
    In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

  • How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling?

    How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling? It is installed on my home network behind my TWC broadband router.

    Ok.. since the TWC modem is also a router.. all configuration takes place on this box.. NONE whatsoever takes place on the TC.
    There is no airport utility 7.7.3 but there is a firmware of that number for the latest AC model TC..
    Is it tall like this.
    Then it is Gen5.
    otherwise it will have a firmware.. 7.6.4 or earlier and the airport utility must be 6.3 or earlier.
    Open the Airport utility and give us a screenshot of the summary page.
    That will also help us determine that you have the TC, which version and how it is setup.
    You might want to press the edit and also give us the Internet and Network tab as they should be set correctly as well.
    I have created a DDNS through DYN.com although I am not sure how to implement this into the TC.
    You do not do anything in the TC.. set it up in the Ubee router.
    Port forward 548 to the TC in the Ubee router.
    And make sure the TC has a static IP in the Ubee router.
    Overall if you find this too hard I strongly recommend you buy a product designed for remote access .. eg WD MyCloud.. they are cheap and easy peasy to setup for remote access.. by PC or Mac and since it is built outside of Apple you not bound up in Apple limitations built into all their equipment to prevent you using it the way you want.. rather than apple want you too.. eg BTMM and iCloud being the only way apple provide for access to the TC and only when it is the main router of the network.
    You are fighting hard because Apple made this hard.. not easy.

  • I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

    I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
    Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time... 
    Thanks for any help.

    I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
    This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??
    The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
    How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
    There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
    If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
    Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
    Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
    Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
    Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
    Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
    Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
    Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
    Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
    I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
    eg
    Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
    Is the issue wireless only.. ??
    Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.

  • I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

    If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
    BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
    Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.
