How do I give access to a windows vista to the Time capsule 2 TB drive?

I just got a time capsule, I have set it up on my mac,  I was able to share printing between time capsule and windows via Bonjour for windows.
How do I get the windows vista pc to see the 2 tb hard drive in the Wi-Fi or Airport network?  I have read through the instructions and do not see any references to acheive this,  Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

This has nothing to do with Time Capsule, Macintosh and Windows use entirely different disk structures. TM needs a disk formatted for Mac, Windows needs, well Windows format.
First you will need to move everything on it elsewhere, partitioning and formatting is going to erase everything on it, do you have somewhere to put the contents of the drive?
The best advice is to get another drive and let TM have its own storage.

  • 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?

    No.

  • How do i back up my windows partition to my time capsule hard drive

    how do i back up my windows partition to my time capsule hard drive

    TC/TM do not support backing up NTFS file systems. Use a separate NTFS-formatted external disk (USB/Firewire/Thunderbolt) and configure it as a Windows Backup/Restore destination. W8+ also supports File History.

  • Accessing the time capsule hard drive in bridge mode

    I've heard that the Time Capsule doesn't "play well with others" but is there any way to map the drive or otherwise access it in a shared wireless network when I"m using the TC in a shared wireless network?  I have the two drives connected via the Ethernet so that shouldn't be a problem and the bridge protocol seems to be working just fine.  The other wireless router is a NetGear 600 with an egocentric problem (i.e. it thinks that it is the center of the universe).

    I am a little unclear on your shared wireless network.
    Is it roaming network?
    Or is the TC in "Join a wireless network" mode?
    Please spell it out.
    You are working on hearsay.. do you actually have a problem?
    You can map any network drive in windows.. the issue is more does it stay there.
    Do you have the airport utility for windows installed?? That is well worthwhile. Not necessary but helpful.
    eg I have recently upgraded my wife's desktop and laptop.. she is a Mac hater so windows for her. Win8 on the desktop .. I loaded the airport utility into it and it works very well with the TC.
    The laptop is 8.1 and only just purchased. I wanted to see how well it works without airport utility.. and yes it works fine.. manually type into explorer the URL to the TC.
    \\TCname (of course using SMB compatible names.. NOT APPLE NAMES.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    That also works fine. The PC with airport utility is just a bit easier.

  • Backing up PC laptop with Windows Vista to my Time Capsule

    Hi
    I have a new 27" iMac and use a Time Capsule for backups.
    I also have a Toshiba laptop running Vista.
    I would like to run the backups from the laptop to the Time Capsule.
    I am reading the Time Capsule already as a hub for internet access.
    Is this possible and if so how do I do it.
    Thanks in advance
    John.

    Thanks Neil.
    Sorry to be so tardy responding.
    Have solved the problem another way now by indulging myself in a birthday present, a new Macbook Air 13.3" Bought it from the special offer €100 discount here in France.
    Happy as a pig in .... now.
    Bought the Magic Trackpad as well.
    Double pig in whatsit!!

  • How can I use an USB contacted SC-Card at the time capsule via my iPad!

    I have a camera memory card with an USB-connector. In my holidays I want to store the pictures from the card to the time capsule.
    I want to use the ipad for remote access to the timecapsule. The pictures from the card should be stored at the TC.
    Is this possible with the time capsule and remote acces via iPad? Which app is required?
    Greatings from germany
    Tapsi-MD

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • How can I add a shared printer USB plugged to the Time Capsule (on a windows vista PC)

    Setting up an airport network was very easy, and is very intuitive and friendly working on a mac.  However, I tried to install the shared printer remotely on a windows vista PC and... well, that's a diffrent story.  Can anybody help?  Thanks!

    If you have not already done so, you will need to download,  install and run Bonjour for Windows on the PC.
    If you have already done this, what error messages are you receiving?

    ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable. This means all of us using HOME editions are screwed.
    Home Edition users would have to perform a Registry edit as follows:
    1. Open registry editor (ref: Start > Search > Enter: regedit)
    2. Browse to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. Create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME = LmCompatibilityLevel & VALUE = 1
    4. Restart your PC and try the connection again...

  • How can I give access to a new user for WebView Reporting Log In //IPCC Enterprise

    Hi All,
    How can I give access to a new user for the WebView Reporting Log In ?
    I have IPCC Enterpise 7
    Thanks
    Andres

    Two options: 1. In configuration manager on the AW, use the user list tool to add the users domain account and select Webview access permissions. 2. Using standard Microsoft Active Directory tools or the Cisco Domain Manager tool, add the desired AD user account into one of the "WebView" security groups created within the Cisco OU.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • How to access Time Capsule hard drive with out internet connection?

    Basically I live in a four bedroom house. One of my roomates moved out who had the internet in there name. Now i dont have an internet access but I have the Time Capsule with a 2 TB hard drive that stores my whole itunes library. I have enough space on my Macbook Air to store my whole library. I'd like to move my whole iTunes library back to my computer and wipe the Time Capsule Clean.

    If the Time Capsule is providing a wireless network signal, an Internet connection does not need to exist to move files from the Mac to the Time Capsule, or vice versa.
    Log onto the Time Capsule wireless network
    Open Macintosh HD
    Look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder named Data (unless you have renamed it) will appear to the right
    Double click Data to mount the drive on the Mac's desktop
    Open the drive on the desktop and you can drag/drop files over to the destination that you choose on the Mac.
    Once the file transfer is complete, double check to make sure that the files are back on your Mac and everything is working properly. Then, you can erase the Time Capsule hard drive.

  • Time Capsule Hard Drive not showing up in Windows machine

    I have Time Capsule showing up perfectly on my two Macooks, but my windows laptop from work cannot see the Time Capsule hard drive at all. I have successfully logged onto Time Capsule as a wireless network and am able to use the Internet fine, but I still can't see time capsule anywhere in Windows Explorer or my network places?
    I turned off Windows firewall and re-install Bonjour for Windows, but that didn't help either. I thought Time Capsule was just supposed to show up in my system after I access the network? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I set up my TC and installed Airport Utility on two PCs running Windows XP. On the first machine, the hard disk didn't show up, but on the second PC it showed up automatically mapped to Z:\. To fix this problem, I just opened the Airport Utility on the problem PC and looked up the IP address of the TC. I typed in the URL based on the IP address and it came up fine as \\10.0.0.1 showing another folder called 'Time Capsule'. You can easily map a drive to this folder by going to the start menu, right-click on My Computer, and select map network drive.

  • Accessing Time Capsule shared drive from Vista

    When running Vista in Bootcamp on my late 2008 Macbook Pro, I can see the shared network drive on the Time Capsule, but when I try to access it it just freezes Windows Explorer and I have to forcibly terminate the explorer process. Is there a trick to get it to work? I'd like to use Norton Ghost to backup Vista on the Time Capsule drive.
    Thanks.

    I have a 1TB TC currently working as my router for a Macbook, Vaio and Dell laptops. I can only access the files from the Macbook. I tried installing Bonjour on the Vaio, but still cannot access the saved files...maybe the install was not good? Any ideas? I tried the online Bonjour download...I do not have the disc.

    I found the directory with java.exe on my XP client. After updating my Path and then typing 'java -versions' I still see a 'java not found message'. No problem though - a README.TXT says that I have JRE 1.1.7B.
    One final question - a co-worker who also has XP just starting seeing a pop-up window saying 'Runtime' error when running a Java applet. His java.exe is in a path that includes the sub-directory 'JRE' On my XP client, java.exe is in a path which includes a 'JRE11' sub-directory. We therefore seem to have different versions of the JRE. Since I don't see the Runtime error when running the same applet, should my co-worker try upgrading his JRE?
    Thank you.
