How do I see whats on my time capsule/or delete it completely? I haven't used it for 6 months, my wifi changed, and I want to start fresh with it.

I haven't used my Time Capsule in months. I have new wifi and forget my old login. How do I either see what's on it or wipe it clean? I want to make sure that its not making up regularly from my laptop.

Plug in by ethernet .. then you can find the wireless password and access the disk.
If you have no mac with an ethernet port buy the thunderbolt to ethernet.. well worthwhile purchase.
But TC are easy even with wireless.. reset it.. you can do a soft reset.. press in the reset button for 1 sec.. all passwords will go to default for 5min.. you can then access it and change them.. viola done.
You can factory reset it and just do a new clean setup.. you can see what is on the drive and erase it..
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.

    How can I see my files on Time Capsul

    Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
    Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
    If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.

  • I have an Airport Extreme, I want to replace it with a Time Capsule.  I swapped my cables to the new TC, unplugged both Cox Cable modem and Airport Extreme.  Started up by plugging A/C power for Cox Cable modem, then power to TC.  Result is blinking amber

    I tried unplugging again and restarting the TC first, still gets blinking amber light.  I even reset the TC because I was using it for backups only in the network, I just want to move it to the primary position.  I don't even get the option of starting a new network.
    I need help.

    Blinking amber light is not the issue.. that will involve lots of issues due to your reset.
    Make sure you have a computer plugged into the TC by ethernet.. do not do setups over wireless.
    Even if you need to do the setup in complete isolation that doesn't matter.. it will work when you return it to the network.
    Do a full factory reset.. I am not sure what resets you have done up to now.. full factory means you hold in reset before applying power.. and keep holding in reset until the front led flashes rapidly. About 10sec.
    The TC must be in router mode if your cable modem is only a modem.. but I don't know if your cable modem is pure modem or modem router.. if the later then the TC should be in router bridged mode.
    Once you have that right.. plug it back into the modem if you had to remove it..
    Power cycle again if you need to. It can take 15min or more of modem off to reset the cable setting for MAC address.
    Then you can setup wireless, although you can also do it whilst connected by ethernet which is usually better.
    What airport utility are you using.. the latest one is too automatic.. stop any attempt to automate the setup and do it manually if you get stuck.
    Even use the old utility is sometimes better.. 5.6 can be loaded even on Mountain Lion with a bit of a fiddle.

  • How do i see what is stored on icloud to delete some of it?

    I am struggling to work out how to access icloud and manage what I have stored there - there are images and apps that I want to delete but can't seem to get into it and edit.
    Hellllp!

    You can manage iCloud storage on iCloud-enabled devices.
    On iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.  This shows you the items stored on your iCloud account, the total space and available space (at the bottom). To delete the data stored by any app, tap the app's name, then tap "Edit" in the upper right hand corner.
    On Mac OS X devices, go to System Preferences > iCloud > and click on "Manage..." in the bottom right. The list of apps and how much data they store is the left column, and clicking on an app displays the data it stores, and allows you to delete that data.
    Images and applications you have purchased or synced through iCloud (such as iTunes in the Cloud, purchased items, and Photo Stream) do not count against your iCloud storage.

  • What is the best way to wipe Photoshop CS 3 off computer, when uninstall is missing.  I want to start fresh with PS CS 5.

    My iMac G5, OS X version 10.6.8 has a Photoshop CS2 and CS3 on it which have never started up, in the present configuration of the computer.  (I had the capacity increased to 2 TB.)
    It has not been possible for me to uninstall them.   The uninstaller cannot be located, by me and Adobe in an hour and a half phone call.
    I want to get rid of PS CS 2 and 3, altogether.   Then I would like to have a new Photoshop CS 5 installed.  I have Time Machine backups and LightRoom disks.   What is the right way to get this done?

    Hi   --  It appears that Adobe does not provide an uninstaller, because the Adobe tech and I tried all sorts of work arounds. 
    I dragged things to the trash on my own, without success, before this.  Then, I put them back.   I did not empty the trash.   
    If I again look for all the photoshop I can find, drag it to the trash, and then empty the trash, do you think something dreadful would happen?   It is pretty scary!    

  • Just want to say os7 is junk and I want to start over with os6 - how?

    My iPad was great until I accidentally "upgraded" (well, really down graded) to os7.  Will somebody at Apple tell me how to fix?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • How can I see what I'm actually video recording on iPad Air so that I don't include extra stuff at the borders of the image? It seems to automatically "zoom in" on the screen, but when I export the video, the picture isn't framed well.

    When I try to record a video on the Ipad Air, the screen automatically "zooms in" closer than when I'm taking a photo. So I frame the interview and record it. But when I export it to post it or edit it, I discover that only the screen was zoomed in, the camera wasn't, so I have all this extra stuff around the edges of my frame.
    I don't need to zoom in, but I do need to be able to see what I'm shooting--otherwise, as I'm videotaping, I'm guessing at my picture's framing. But every time I switch from photo to video mode, the screen "zooms in." How can I see what I'm actually recording?
    I've been searching for an answer for this for a while, but I can't find any responses to it! Thanks.

  • How do i see what applications are running in the background

    My iMac is running very slow my operating system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor. How do I see what applications are running in the background?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button.

  • TS2800 how can I see what is going to be included in the next iphone backup to icloud?

    How can I see what is going to be included in the next iphone backup to icloud?

    The "playhead indicator" is a twofold tool. Click on the "clock" icon and it switches to Project Length:
    You can click and drag on the time clock to increase the project length if you need to see what's going on beyond your Play Range.
    The image below is an overview of parts. The Timeline view is opened to reveal layer timing.
    The "mini timeline" (the bar under the canvas above the clock) shows the entire project length. Usually that's the same length as the default Play Range. Use the play head clock to add more time if you need to reveal longer media "tails". You will not change the Play Range by doing so (you'll have to do that "manually"). You can even Share/Export your project with respect to Play Range as opposed to Project Length (there's a drop down option for that upon export.)
    If you're creating a template, FCPX only "sees" the play range.
    It's not a cool one-click option... it's just the way it is in Motion.

  • HT4910 I have a simple question or 2. 1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how do I edit the data if I do not want it on icloud. 2) I have an app that I would like to update data - it doesn't appear to be doing that, how can I fix that? It is the mob

    1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
    2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
    For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

  • How can I see what is in my iCloud and on iPad and remove some stuff on on iPod mini

    How can I see what is in my iCloud and maybe remove some  from my iPad mini

    You have to sign into your iCloud account at icloud.com from a computer to view your iCloud data.  Also, be careful not to delete data from your phone that is being synced to iCloud or it will delete if from iCloud too.  (For example, if you delete a contact from your phone with Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On it will remove the contact from iCloud too.)
