How do i back up iphone and ipod to time capsule?

Set up my time capsule and go to go with macbookpro.  Downloaded Airport to iphone and do not know how to back up to this network.  Still backing only to cloud.

You cannot backup directly from iOS to time capsule. You can however download an app to access SMB device as a file server. The iphone and ipad are designed to work with itunes.. if you use it with a Mac and it is running itunes then the files will be backed up to the TC as part of the normal TM backup.

  • HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

    I can read your question a number of ways.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
    If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
    You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
    You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
    Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
    You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
    Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
    You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

  • How can I copy programs (iWorks) and files from Time Capsule to my HD manually? The problem is that the migration assistant does not recognize my backup file and the user on the TC. (If I open the TC on finder, it it there though)

  • Can we backup from iPhone and iPad into time capsule?

    Can we backup from iPhone and iPad photos and data into time capsule?

    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up only to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud. More details on backups here:

    If you backup the iOS devices to iTunes, then iTunes in turn backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

  • How do I back up iPhone and apps to an external hard drive?

    Hi -
    I have a very small internal hard drive in my good ol' G4, so I have my iTunes music library on a 160 GB external (I'm backing the library up to a second external).
    I have such limited space on my internal that I want to back up my iPhone and my wife's iPhone to the 160 external, but I can't seem to figure out how. All the apps land in Users > (myaccount) > Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications. I'm familiar with the iTunes Preferences > Advanced function where you change the location of your music library, but I haven't been able to get this to work for iPhone apps.
    Also, when I back up my wife's phone, any applications that I've downloaded directly to my phone and then later backed up are being loaded into her phone. How do I prevent this?
    Thanks a lot for some help.

    You can just copy the app files in the folder where they are stored and move them over.
    If apps you downloaded are getting put on your wife's iPhone then it sounds like you only have one iTunes account for both of you. With your wife's iPhone connected go to the application tab and uncheck apps she doesn't want.

  • How do i back up my iphoto library to time capsule?

    I was told I can back up my iphoto's library to my time capsule but I'm not sure how to do this.  Any help is appreciated.

    If you've set up Time Machine to back up your computer to it and haven't moved the library off the internal drive, it's already been done.
    If you've set up Time Machine to back up your computer to it and have moved the library off the internal drive, ensure the drive holding it isn't excluded in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences.
    If you haven't set up Time Machine, either turn it on or drag the iPhoto library from the Pictures item of your home folder to the Time Capsule manually.

  • How do I back up an iPad to a time capsule?

    How do I set up an iPad to back up to a time capsule?

    iPad is not designed to backup to the TC.. it backs up to cloud or to iTunes in the computer.. iTunes then backs up to TC using Time Machine.
    You can install a file browser on the iPad. eg filebrowser.. and store some files.. but that is not a backup.
    See apple doco on backup of ios.

  • Is there a way to wireless backup my iPhone and iPad to Time Capsule?

    I want to be able to wireless backup my Mac, iPhone and iPad... am I able to do this with Time Capsule?

    Mac yes.. that is Time Machine built into every Mac since 10.5 OS
    The iphone and ipad backup to itunes.. which then is backed up by Time Machine to the Time Capsule.
    The idea of the iOS devices is to remove the file layer.. but you can download a file app for iOS which will allow you to copy files directly to the TC.

  • How can I back up external hard drives to time capsule?

    I own an iMac and have two external drives hooked up to it. I also have a time capsule. Is it possible to back up the external drives automatically or manually to the Time Capsule?
    -knarfy

    I don't think Time Machine would work, but SuperDuper! (to a disk image on the Time Capsule) or Retrospect, or another backup program could do it.

  • How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

    Hello
    Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own

    I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own?

    I think I understand what you mean. You were asked if you wanted to merge the contacts with your iCloud account. Contacts take up very little room and are probably not the reason that your iCloud is full. If you're now backing up two devices to iCloud rather than one, that will indeed take up more room.
    You cannot undo the contact merge. You can go to Settings>iCloud on either device and see what categories of stuff you're backing up and make selections. You can also purchase more iCloud space there.

  • HT5621 Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?

    Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?  I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
    Thanks
    Mandi

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.
