How do I set up timecapsule as a networked harddrive?

How do I set ut timecapsule as a networked harddrive. I have used time capsule as wireless backup before, but not used is as a networked harddrive.
Can someone please tell me how to set this up.
Thanks!

By default, the Time Capsule is a network hard drive.
If you have the Time Capsule set up to connect to the network using wireless or Ethernet, then it is by default, already set up as a network hard drive.
You can access the Time Capsule from your Mac by clicking anywhere on the open desktop to display the Finder menus at the top of the screen.
Click the Go menu
Click the Network icon
Double click the Time Capsule drive to mount the drive on the Mac's desktop
You can copy/paste or drag drop to the Time Capsule icon.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

  • Dell 968w..how do I set the IP address for network printing?

    Attempting to connect my Dell 968w to the network for access by my HP and Dell laptops.  Dell said I need an IP address for the printer..how do I set the address??? 

    you need to contact dell printer support for this info...this is usually done by printing a network config page on your printer & you'll see the printer ip address there.

  • How do I set up a second home network that bypasses Open DNS?

    I have been having trouble downloading and streaming itunes content because I use Open DNS on my network.
    There have been many posts about disabling Open DNS to solve the problem but if I do that, my internet filter goes away.
    I would rather set up a second network that bypasses Open DNS and use it only for my Apple TV.
    Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
    I have airport extreme base station with a second airport to extend the range, mac desktop, mac laptop, ATV, several iphones and ipads.
    I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
    Thanks in advance!

    Are you suggesting that I go into my Airport router settings and just blank out the DNS settings and then reboot it?
    Yes, exactly. You can always input those addresses again, if it does not solve the problem.
    OpenDNS may offer some advantages over your whatever your ISP uses for DNS but optimizing download speed is not one of them.
    Maybe I have jumped to the conclusion that Open DNS is the problem when maybe it isn't.
    It is possible. As I understand it, Apple's servers attempt to use a location near you to deliver iTunes content, and OpenDNS may result in pointing it to a less ideal location.
    3 hours may or may not be normal for HD movie. The download speed depends on a number of factors that are difficult to surmise without knowing details about your network and your ISP.

  • How can I set up a home wireless network with Comcast high speed internet?

    I just signed up for Comcast High Speed Internet. I was able to get my Power Mac onto the internet. However, I connected my Airport Extreme and am unable to get it to recognize that I have an internet connection. I want to set up a wireless network in my apartment. Comcast tech support said that I only have one IP address.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get my wireless network up and going? Thanks!

    Should I change set up so that cable goes from the cable modem directly to Airport Extreme and then use the ports on the Extreme to run Ethernet Cable to Power Mac and other devices?
    Yes
    As an aside, would this setup allow me to hook my iBook up to Airport via Ethernet cable and let it get into Internet that way?
    Yes

  • How do I set up a desktop/laptop network with a WRT54G v5

    I'm a novice when it comes ot networking, but I was hoping someone could guide me as to how to set up a wireless network with a laptop (non-linksys wireless card) and a desktop with a WRT54G. I've already got it where the laptop can connect to the internet via the WRT54G but I'd like to set-up a wireless network where the laptop can view and/or modify files on the desktop and vice-versa. Can aanyone help me? (I'd also like to add my external hard drive to the network I create via ethernet connection to the 54G, later on)
    Can anyone give me a guide or even tell me if it's possible?

    I'm glad it worked out for you. By the way, is this what you were trying to download? If so, I don't seem to have any problems downloading it. Check your PC's for any restrictions regarding downloads. Check your firewall as well.Message Edited by Katsuki23 on 06-30-2006 12:49 AM

  • How do I set up a permanent wifi network connection?

    Hi all,
    I had been using my D-link wireless router for a couple of years, when it just gave up the ghost this week. I happened to have a spare linksys wireless router which I then set up, and it works fine. My desktop pc connects fine, and my visiting friends hp laptop connects fine, on a permanent connection.
    However, my MacBook Pro, whenever I close my MacBook, and then open again the next day, or later on that day... When I try to connect via the newtwork symbol in the task bar at the top, I get the message (a connection timeout occured) . Each time, I have to go into system preferences > Network and I have to set up the connection with a different location (current home8!), and retype in my passphrase. I have tried locking the connection so that no changes can occur, but that doesn't help .
    Is there a way that I can just make this connection permanent? Why does this only happen on my MacBook, and not the other computers on the netwok?
    Thanks.

    Some of the following you may have already tried - Change your router channel.  Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
    Power cycling the router.  Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
    System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
    Unlock the padlock
    Locations:  Automatic
    Highlight Airport
    Click the Assist Me button
    In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
    System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock.  Highlight Airport.  Network Name-select your name.  Click on the Advanced button.  Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
    Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."  Click the OK button and lock the padlock.  Restart your computer.

    Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
    Delete all extra entries that you find.

  • How can I set up iTunes in a networked environment?

    I have the following set-up at home:
    - 1 desktop PC
    - 1 laptop PC
    - 1 Macbook Pro
    - 1 file server (linux).
    What I would like to do:
    - Store my (large) master iTunes library on my file server
    - Connect each of my three computers to it while I am at home.
    - Copy a small sub-section of the master library to my laptop(s) for mobile listening.
    - Be able to buy music/video/movies on the laptop and when I return home copy to my mater library.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Stefan
    PS: I have checked the forum, but I have only found subsolutions, which don't work with the complete concept.

    There isn't really a complete, easy manner to do this. For instance, with your laptop set to use its own hard drive for the library anything you download there will have to be manually copied to the server when you get home. If the laptop is set to use server for library then iTUnes will be able to download new files when away but any other files will not be available.
    This is on top of the complication of multiple computers accessing same file store for iTunes. Except with deleted files the individual machines do not know about changes (added files) done by the other ones.

  • How do i set up a wireless itunes network in multiple rooms???

    I'm trying to add multiple Airport express units(in different rooms), to my wireless network (internet only). I have two express units and apple TV and want to be able to play music via itunes through 1 or more, or all of the rooms!
    I'm buggered if I can do it without setting up a separate network for each unit and only being able to select my Mac and that single room.
    Please help......

    The usual point where setup fails (when the existing network is provided by a non-Apple wireless router) is with entry of the wireless security protocol and password - which must of course be configured identically on the wireless router and each Airport Express device. What type of wireless security are you using on your network's wireless router?

  • How do I set access to the same network share on a Windows server for multiple users on an iMac (school set-up) in Lion 10.7.3?

    We've got them authenticating/binding with AD (after hours of troubleshooting to get working), and their Home drive on the Windows 2003 server loads in the dock, but they also want to be able to load the same network shares on the server e.g. "Students$" for every student that logs onto the iMac.  I realise without Lion server we can't control it by group, but if we could at least set it up consistently for the students that would be a great start.
    Thanks.

    When you install you get the opportunity to install it for "All Users".
    It sounds like you have a demo version on your Mac however, you need to delete it:

  • How do i set a peer to peer network between my iMac and windows machines?

    I want to set up a peer to peer network between my iMac and Windows based computers in my house.  I also want it to a wireless set up.  Mostly being done to share videos, pictures, and music. Any insight would be appreciated.

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Wifi using internet sharing
    Why?
    Just connect the MacBook to the same internet as your iMac.
    MacBook > Wi-Fi router > Internet.
    You are connected to the internet with your iMac.
    iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet
    Why do you want to go MacBook (via Wi-Fi)  > iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet?

  • How do I set a password for my network?

    I want to password protect my network which is shared over Airport Express. How do I create and apply a password so my internet connection can be used only by people who know the password?

    If this base station is actually the "snow" then you will need a Mac or PC that can run a version of the AirPort Utility that can administer this "very old" 802.11b base station. You won't be able to do so with an iOS device or Mac running Lion or newer OS.

  • How do I set up a wireless network at home??

    Hi,
    I am new to Mac's. I want to set up a wireless network at home, but I have not got a clue about AirPort, what it is or what it does!?! I am getting a new Mac, but my wife is currently using a Dell Windows laptop and our daughter is using a Windows PC. How do I set up a wireless broadband network at home which works with my Mac and my familys PC's? What do I need to buy and what do I need to do with them? I already have a broadband connection at home. Currently, my wife's PC is connected directly to the broadband modem (via an ethernet cable) that was supplied by the brodband company when I signed up to broadband.
    Thanks for all your help with this.

    scooter has provided links to Apple's pages for the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Both of these devices are IEEE 802.11g wireless routers (also called base stations). If you have an Ethernet connection to the Internet (for example DSL or cable modem), you can connect either of these devices directly to that connection and create a wireless network. Since Ethernet and IEEE 802.11g are worldwide standards you can connect any compatible device (including PCs running Windows).
    Every computer needs a unique IP address. You can think of an IP address as a street address for your house. A unique address guarantees that items addressed to you get to you.
    Typically ISPs provide users with a single (one) public IP address. A public IP address is visible to anyone on the Internet. A router uses the single IP address provided by the ISP and creates multiple local (non-public) IP addresses for you computers. This allows you to use multiple computers.
    If you need to connect both wireless and Ethernet computers you will need the AEBS. The AEBS provides a separate LAN port for Ethernet computers.
    BTW, you can accomplish the same thing with any inexpensive wireless router.
    The advantage of the AEBS over other routers is (a) built-in 56k modem for connecting to a dial-up ISP and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.
    The advantage of the AirPort Express over other routers is (a) sound output port for streaming music to a stereo and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
