How do I access time capsule data with windows 7

My computer hard drive crashed and was recently replaced and a fresh new install of Windows 7 was done. Also my service provider has change and I no longer use the airport as my wireless router. I have all my data on the time capsule however I am unable to access it. I tried downloading airport utility for windows but its not detecting my time capsule. I am connecting the time capsule to my computer using the usb cable. Any suggestions?

I am connecting the time capsule to my computer using the usb cable. Any suggestions?
That is not a valid method of connecting.. the TC is a network device.. you cannot use USB to it.
Plug it in by ethernet or use wireless.. either way it should be accessible by the airport utility.

How do I access Time Capsule Remotely with iCloud?

Before, with MobileMe, I was able to backup and access my Time Capsule anywhere in the world because I had my MobileMe login stored in my Time Capsule, and my MobileMe entered into my mac.
So when I was at home it would backup through the local network and when remote it did it through the internet.
Once upgrading to iCloud this broke (even though I entered my iCloud info into the time capsule).
Apple apparently fixed this with an update:
The latest Airport Base Station Update 7.6.1 "provides support for remote access to an AirPort disk or a Time Capsule hard drive with an iCloud account."
However, I'm still unable to do it. Is there instructions some where on how to do it with the latest Airport Utility / iCloud?
Note, yes I could do it with port forwarding but that would require that I have a static IP and like most all residential users I don't have a static IP and can't afford to pay 180+ for a business account to have one. And yes, you can use something like DynDNS but that only works if you have an extra computer at home and that its always on. I only have one machine and its my laptop that I bring with me. MobileMe acted like a DynDNS on the Airport to make Back2Mac work and supposively iCloud should do the same.
Also in Airport Utility next to my iCloud login it shows a green icon (so it's connected).
Thanks in advance!

There is some new info posted by apple.. and links to more setup as well.

I haven't done it.. as I refuse to move to Lion while the networking is so kludgy.

How do I transfer time capsul data to external hard drive to free up space?

How do I transfer time capsule data to external hard drive to free up space?

The fastest method is straight copy and paste..
Plug a suitable hard disk into your computer.. format it Mac OS extended journaled (if not already).
Select the folders/files you want to move.. copy and paste them to the external drive..
Double check that the files are copied because the next step will delete the files forever.. there is no trash on the TC.
Delete the files on the TC.
You can also do a full archive of the TC disk to a USB plugged into it by USB.. it must be formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled. It must be big enough to hold all data on the TC disk.. best idea is to buy the same size or bigger.. so if you use 2TB TC buy a 2TB or bigger external drive.
In airport utility select archive.
That will copy everything on the TC disk to the USB drive.. you could then Erase the disk of the TC.. this is super fast if you choose quick erase.. just a few minutes. But the archive will take many hours.. say for 2TB about 12-24hours.. and you cannot use the disk in the TC during that time.

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

Multiple Users Can't Access Time Capsule Data

My wife and I have two separate Apple MacBooks that share a Time Capsule. We have different account names on these respective computers. I initially set up my Time Capsule and created folders that I can access from Finder.app when I connect over our wireless network. In Airport Utility.app, under the "Disks" tab, I set up the shared disks "with device password", so that she and I can mutually access all the data on the Time Capsule. However, when I try to access it from her computer, I click on the Time Capsule in Finder.app and get this dumb Sharepoint icon--a total dead end. I created another account on her computer with the same name as the account on my own computer, and from that account, I'm able to access all of the data on the Time Capsule. This therefore seems to be a permissions issue, but I've checked all of the files and folders on the Time Capsule and ensured that they all have "everyone read & write" access, so there should be no restrictions on access to this data.
Why are the volumes on my Time Capsule sensitive to the user accessing them? How do I set up data repositories on the Time Capsule that can be accessible to all users on my network? I'm out of ideas.

Are both computers actually running Mavericks??
This is very typical Yosemite problem.
For some reason which I don't yet understand Yosemite is horrible at handling network drives.
dumb Sharepoint icon
Sharepoint is a dlink app?? If you have ever had some app loaded that uses a different product to apple then it can mess your access.
WD share stuff seems to be the worst and causes no end of problems.
What you are seeing btw is the TC is not a NAS.. you are trying to use it as one.. but it isn't.

Problems accessing time capsule data "The operation can't be completed because the original [...]"

So as my title would suggest, I'm having time capsule issues.
First of all, I'm running a MBPret late 2013. Currently I'm trying to setup my time capsule in my university dorm room for two reasons:
1) I want to use the internet they provide us.
2) I want to use time capsule as a backup drive.
I am not permitted to use wifi as per my contract with the university, unfortunate, but fine, I can use ethernet, I have the ethernet -> thunderbolt adapter.
Now, thus far, I've setup my time capsule normally (this is second setup not the first) and I performed a hard reset before connecting it all here. Before here it was setup at my previous house. After that I disabled the wireless and enabled secure shared disks "with device password".
I don't have internet access yet, though I believe this is a problem on the administrator side not mine, but the real problem is that I cannot access the data folder on my time capsule in finder. I've tried erasing the volume, hard resetting and setting up again, I keep getting the same error message:
"The operation can’t be completed because the original item for "Data" can't be found"
Any suggestions?
Regards

If you don't have applecare you will need to pay if you want the genuine article but your problem is familiar and Apple support is likely to say your the first person they have ever heard of with this problem.. even when every second post here refers to it.
Here is my standard list. Work through it and tell me if you succeed.
The cause is Yosemite btw.
A factory reset of the TC is the start.. it is required so you can find it again.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

How to remotely access Time Capsule using iCloud and firmware 7.6.1?

I have just applied the new Time Capsule 7.6.1 firmware that supposedly enables remote access to the drive via iCloud. However, how precise would this work?
I have read several other threads here and elsewhere but they either explain how to do this using MobileMe or DynDNS.
How precisely does iCloud now translate my internal IP to an external one and where do I access my drive in OSX when on the road?

Really pretty simple. That's if you've got the Time Capsule and your Computer set up correctly.
Time Capsule setup:
1.    Open Airport Utility
1a. Open Time Capsule Base Station tab
1b. Put iCloud NAME in "Back to My Mac"
1c. Enter Password, then wait for activation (less than 1 minute normally)
1d. Open Time Capsule Disks tab
1e. Check mark "Enable file sharing"
1f.   Check mark "Share disk over WAN"
1h. Password self explanitory
Computer (Mac)
1.   Open iCloud in System Preferences
2.   Put a check mark on "Back to My Mac", wait for actication (less than 1 minute normally)
Connecting to Time Capsule Disk from you HOME network or outside your home network ((INTERNET))
In order to connect to Time Capsule Disk off your local (home) network you must have an internet connection, if you do then do this:
1. Open Finder
2. In Finder open Shared if collapsed and double click on your Time Capsule name.
3. Double click your Time Capsule, enter password (if you required).
4. Once connected to your Time Capsule double click on your Disk to mount it enter password (if your required).
5. Done, remember the connection speed is dependent on your internet quality (broadband vs dial-up).

Accessing Time Capsule disk from Windows 7

I have a Time Capsule 2TB which serves several Macs and a PC running Windows 7. I was able to access the disk from Windows 7 to share files. My PC suddenly stopped seeing the disk - although the Windows 7 machine can still access the web through the Time Capsule.
When I run the AirPort Utility through Windows 7 it is unable to find any Airport wireless devices. I can however see the Time Capsule and the disk when I 'Configure other...' and enter the IP address manually, but still cannot access it.
I am using Airport Utility version 6.2
I thought it might be an issue with the Time Capsule and bought a new one but encountered exactly the same problem.
I read that turning 'Search' off in Windows 7 might solve the problem. I tried doing that but still cannot find any AirPort wireless devices.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You should be using the airport utility from windows .. not 6.2 which is only a Mac version AFAIK.
Did your windows suddenly decide spontaneously that it is now in work or public network.. instead of home.. windows does this at random intervals to make life exciting for all users. Drag it home.. and make it sit there.
No go, then shut down all the firewalls.
If your problem coincided with the recent upgrade to 7.6.3 firmware.. which would not surprise me, downgrade to 7.6.1 or earier.

Will the latest 2 TB Time Capsule work with Windows 7

I purchased a latest 2 TB Time Capsule
My computer Engineer says, it will not work with my Windows 7 PC.
He says I should purchase a Mac computer for using it
My aim is to have some important files, movies and music files in it and use it as
my iPad accessory.
Kindly let me know

Your computer engineer needs demoting..
The TC is SMB compliant when setup properly.
Press reset 10sec and redo the setup.
Download and install airport utility for windows. That will also install bonjour which helps things along.
Rename the TC and wireless names to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric characters.
eg TC name.. TCgen4
2.4ghz wireless name.. TC24ghz
5ghz wireless name.. TC5ghz (set the 5ghz name different on the advanced wireless page).
Lock wireless to a/n - b/g
Lock wireless channels to 1, 6, or 11 as the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
On the disk page.. set the guest account to on with read and write permissions.. that makes life a bit easier. Obviously if security is a problem don't do it.. but TC is a home device.. and is so easy to hack into it is a joke.. so setting high security is seldom of value.
Make sure the workgroup is set correctly .. by default WORKGROUP.
Note the IP of the TC .. generally 10.0.1.1 and if it is running as the main router to the network, you can now open the TC via windows explorer by typing the ip or the TC name in the address bar thus.
\\TCgen4 or \\10.0.1.1 (Obviously if you use different name or IP then replace with those.)
To access the TC from ipad you need a file browser app.. just look it up.. the ipad does not actually natively work with the TC.. so ipad is actually more of an issue than windows.
Also note carefully .. there is no backup mechanism to save stuff on the TC.. it is a backup target not a NAS. It is made for Time Machine on a Mac not for storing files. They are also not exactly reliable. It is sealed.. there are no spare parts.. if it dies, apple will replace not fix it. And they tend to have a short life. If you trust your files to it.. one day they will all be gone.. make sure you back it up or only keep copies of files on it.

Trouble finding the Time Capsule HD with Windows XP

This is the first network I have hooked my computer up to and would like help in getting access to the 1 TB hard drive using Windows XP. I have looked in the Airport Utility software for how to enable access and tried finding the network using XP.
I know at work once when I had trouble finding a network drive on a new machine they fed me a run command and then that drive would appear as an option.
Anyone able to step-by-step me through how to use this fine drive?

Do you also have a wireless connection to the TC from the same computer .. turn it off.
Go back to firmware 7.5.2 as it is far more stable.
After that the issue can just be windows 7 issues with large file transfers.
Turn off ipv6 in both the TC and windows machine. It can cause issues.
Do not use explorer to transfer the file.. use an alternative.. anything is better.. !!
In the end if it keeps failing.. look up network file copy fail windows 7.. google has about 4million hits.. it is impossible for me to know which one is the problem.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprohardware/thread/234dd5bb -3ea9-480f-baef-b079a27f43cb#be752a92-8d14-42da-8085-377870a682f3
Search specifically as possible.. that will help as the issue does affect lots of different file systems.

Time Capsule incompatibily with Windows XP

I have four computers connected to my home network: one MacBook, one Windows Vista, and two Windows XP. I am able to print to my XP LaserJet 1200 printer which is connected to my Time Capsule with both the MacBook and the Windows Vista computer BUT NOT with either of the Windows XP-SP2 computers.
On each of the Windows XP computers, I installed the latest version of Bonjour and then ran it. Bonjour successfully recognized the printer and installed its drivers. Then I tried to print from MS Word to this printer. MS Word correctly showed one of my printer options to be the H/P Printer attached to my Time Capsule, but when I selected it and went to print, the print job failed.
Thinking my problem might relate to my firewall, I first worked with the firewall vendor (Trend Micro) to ensure that my firewall settings should work with the Time Capsule, but I still could not print. Then I disabled the firewall and tried to run the printer, but still it would not work.
This leads me to question whether or not a Windows XP computer can actually print to a printer connected to the Time Capsule

How is the Lacie disk plugged into the Mac? If it is FW should be fine albeit a little slow.. but USB does not handle the load well.
Time Capsule is not really suitable for using as a Storage device.. Especially with that many clients.
The TC itself is an AFP shared disk.. so will not have issues with tiger.. (just there is no Time Machine). It can handle XP as it also offers SMB protocol. The TC will work on wired network. Although you can also set it up for wireless.
TC die a bit too easily.. and they have no backup mechanism.
I would be looking at Mini Server or a true NAS by QNAP or SYNOLOGY both of which are very Apple compatible. And use mirrored drives and have automatic backup.
Look in the Apple store as even apple sell 3rd party disk array devices.. They simply do not make anything themselves which fits the bill.

Time capsule connectivity with windows 7

Hi,
I am facing problem to connect it to my Toshiba windows 7 64bit laptop. I installed the latest version of Airport and configured the wireless network that is working perfectly fine.
The main issue is window explorer doesn't show the time capsule all the time, if its not shown then i got to restart the computer and it comes up, some time it detects automatically in the explorer and some time doesn't. I am not able to figure out whats the exact problem.
If someone can help me out please.
Thanks

Two main things must happen correctly:
-- Windows 7 must make a good Wi-Fi connection to the AirPort section of the Time Capsule.
-- Windows 7 driver must mount the drive.
Check your connection to be sure you have a Wi-Fi connection to AirPort. If not, delete any Wi-Fi connection and create a new one.
If the connection is working well to AirPort, see if the drive appears in Computer Management like this:
Right-click Start, choose, "Properties", choose the Start Menu tab, click the "Customize" button, under "System Administrative Tools", click the radio button for "Display on the All Programs menu". Then go to Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management. The Time Capsule should be one of the drive volume. In the column for "File System", it should show "HFS". In the column for "Status", it should show "Healthy". If not, troubleshoot the Windows 7 HFS driver or use Disk Utility in OS X to repair Time Machine.

Connecting Time Capsule data with iPad

Is there any reasonable way to browse data on TimeCapsule with iPad2?

Not sure what you mean by reasonable, but Filebrowser is pretty much the accepted standard for this type of application.
You might want to take a look. About $7 on the App Store
