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 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 can I make Time Machine use the ethernet cable to Time Capsule instead of the wireless connection? Wireless is too slow; has been taking 40 hours to create an initial 142 GB backup.

Plug in ethernet .. in the computer.. turn off wireless.

Can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??

can i unplug time capsule from the ethernet cable and still use it??

I have tried to extend that wireless line but as soon as i remove the LAN cable i have no internet connection anymore. So basically, does the TC get the signal wireless from the router??
The Time Capsule can wirelessly extend a wireless signal....but only if it is being provided by another Apple AirPort wireless router.
If the "main" rotuer there is not an Apple AirPort router, you will need to connect to the network using a wired Ethernet connection.

HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Can the time capsule works without WLAN cable connected to my DSL router?

Cna the Time capsule work without WLAN cable connection to DSL router?

WLAN is usually used for wireless LAN .. plainly you mean WAN port ..
How do you expect to get internet if the TC is not connected to the internet?
The TC can work stand alone.. true enough but that will then involve considerable issues in setting up two different IP addressing regimes .. you can just bridge the TC and use it as WAP and switch plus hdd without having to route.

I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.
iOS: AirPrint 101

Time capsule - use as wi-fi connection for mac pro to the internet

hello
i recently purchased a mac pro 2.8/ 2Gb/ 320 HD
it did not come with a wireless card.
today i bought a time capsule and want to use it to connect my mac to my wireless internet connection from my modem (dsl) via the time capsule. i have connected the time capsule to my mac via ethernet.
the internet is not working. can anybody help me please?
i have managed to get the ethernet connected and active.
when i look at "network diagnostics" ethernet is green, network settings is green and isp is green. but internet is red (failed) and service is red.
please help

i will have to use an ethernet cable between the modem and the TC, right?
Yes. It sounds like your modem is actually a combination modem & wireless router instead. Unfortunately, creating a WDS between this device and the TC will be unlikely successful ... so the only alternative (without buying anything else) would be to connect the TC to the modem via Ethernet.
this is frustrating as the apple store i bought the TC from in Osaka, Japan, would not sell me an airport card to install myself.
I believe this is because the AirPort card for your model of Mac Pro is not considered a User-installable item by Apple. I'm surprised they didn't offer to do the install for you.
then, as a solution said that i could use the TC to do what i described above.
Although they were partially correct that it can be done with the TC, it appears that they didn't provide the complete picture on how to do it.

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 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 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

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.

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?
Could I possibly connect via USB?
No.

How can I search the time capsule using spotlight or time machine?

Every time I try to use spotlight in finder, to find anything on the time capsule, spotlight automatically turns to the mac.
While using timemachine the connection to the time machine greys out.
How can I use these options, or different options to search the time capsule?

I've been looking for the star wars gui, but I only ended up watching scifi movies all night.
LOL..
Oh well it is new year.. seems as good a use of time as any.
Click on the time machine icon in the dock.. that opens finder inside the backup.

How to transfer files into Time Capsule server via ethernet?

Hello,
I intend to use my Time Capsule as to perform backups and a file server. I have been using it for backups only and now I want to move files from my external hard drive into the TC for storage so that I would be able to stream the files over wireless connection. I have bought a thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter and plugged it in between my TC and my MacBook Air to enable fast transfer of files and backups. I am however baffled when I found out the transfer of files (900 gb) is going to take approximately 78 days to complete. It seems to me that the file transfer is going on over wireless connection instead of thunderbolt gigabit ethernet connection by default when the adapter is plugged in. Appreciate if someone could guide me through to solve the problem.
Note: All softwares are up-to-date and my wireless connection is a shared wireless connection, meaning that my TC only serves a backup station.

Mount the TC disk manually.
In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
Type in the following.
AFP://TCname.local (TCname is the actual network name of the TC. I strongly recommend you use SMB names.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric)
Find out the Network version of the TC name if you don't want to comply to the above rule. The best way is to discover it via netstat scan.
Open network utility.
Locate your TC on it.. since my TC is correctly named it shows up as tcgen4.local
I then type in AFP://tcgen4.local
Then the computer can discover the TC and it will ask for a password. The default is public
Type in whatever you changed it to or public.
The TC disk should now be mounted.
If this fails.. reset the TC to factory and start over. Name it correctly.. all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric will be a lot lot easier.
Then manually force the mounting.
