How I can lock my Time Capsule on specific MAC addresses?

Ok, you mean MAC filtering..
This is called timed access on the airport utility..
Set no access for all other wireless.
Then add for your own.
Setup all the computers that you want to have access and whatever the time..
You can only MAC filter wireless clients not wired.
Do a search if this is not enough for posts by Bob Timmons on Timed Access.

How I can configure my Time Capsule with my mobile me?

Someone know how i can configure my Time Capsule with my mobile me?... Because i need access to my documents remotely, from any place where I find...
(sorry my bad english)

I think you're referring to the Back To My Mac feature?
Follow these three articles. Most important are the second and third.

Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet

Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet?

Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule. Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

Can you use time capsule for your mac and have readynas backup your pc's on the same network

Can you use time capsule for your mac and use readynas to back up your pc's on the same network

Sure, that is trivial setup.. they both have different names and IP addresses.
You should be able to use ReadyNas for TM backup but you should check the latest state of play for that.

I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time...
Thanks for any help.

I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??

How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
eg
Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
Is the issue wireless only.. ??
Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.

How i can use my time capsule as an hard driver

i cant copy any file to my time capsule
it is 2 tb v 7.6.3
my system is mac 10.8.2

Did this problem start with 7.6.3 which is one of the poorest firmware updates ever.. or was it pre-existing??
If it started with firmware update.. best resolution is downgrade again.. It offers you nothing in 99% of cases. Totally useless.
If it was issue beforehand.. do a factory reset of the TC.. this will not effect data on the drive.. and redo the whole setup.
You might find just a reboot gets it going though.. this is just buggy mountain lion.

Can I use Time Capsule for older mac?

Hello,
I am working on setting up a regular backup plan and am considering getting a Time Capsule so that I can use Time Machine and back up multiple machines all on one unit. I have an older iMac running 10.4.11 which predates Time Machine and was wondering if I could still back up, using carbon copy or something similar onto a Time Capsule? I would assume that I would need and could partition Time Capsule so that I had the one part for the older iMac and the other for the newer Macs that can run Time Machine. Is this possible or is there a better plan?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

LaPastenague
I honestly don't remember what I used to format the external HD, but I suspect I did it through the disk utility. It was done on an earlier computer so maybe that's why it's not visable on the iMac, although I can see it on my iBook which is running 10.4.11.
On the iMac I can't see the TC under the Server from within the Finder but I can on the iBook even though they are running the same OS version. So I guess I am going to need another backup option other then TC and an external... for this computer.
If I back up using the disk utility or another tool like CCC or superduper, my concern is that the file will be too big for me to put it on CD or DVD's that's what the appeal of the TC is. Is there a way to break it into selections to fit a CD or DVD better?
Also given that my iBook (running 10.4.11) can see TC, can i just drag and drop a backup onto the TC for which I created with another backup tool given that this predates Time Machine.
Thanks again

Considering buying time capsule have some Mac address related questions

Hi,
as mentioned above I'm considering buying a time capsule for backup and wifi purposes.
My internet providers connection depends upon a set Mac address from the first computer you register with, the system works with any router which then clones the MAC address and issues a wifi signal to all computers. I don't have access to the origional computer which we registered our connection on, it went to the great computer graveyard in the sky and I have no record of the Mac address.
I Would like to use the time capsule system as a router and remove my existing router. my questions
can the time capsule spoof or clone a Mac address ?
I Don't want to be offline while we deal with technical support as they are quite inept sometimes.
Is it in this case really plug and play ? Can I just plug it in set it up on my Mac and away it goes where other non Apple devices can use the wifi.
Without the existing router the cable that comes into the house connect directly to the ' original ' computer and the Internet only works on that computer
hope someone can help me I would like to purchase this device

The Time Capsule cannot clone a MAC address, so quite simply, the product is not for you.

How do I turn on SMB Sharing so I can access my Time Capsule remotely via iPad w/FileBrowser app?

I know I can share the time capsule, but I don't want to have to have my computer on, I just want to enable sharing and then access the files via File Browser on my iPad and Stream my movies and music stored at home.

Are you saying that your new Extreme no longer needs for you to enter the terminal script to enable TM backups to an AirDisk?
Yes, exactly that ... although since it is the Mac that runs Time Machine & uses its own system preferences, I don't think it is the new Extreme itself that makes the difference but instead some update to the OS (10.5.5, maybe?). As I understand it, so many users expected that in this respect an Extreme with a USB-connected drive would be the functional equivalent of a Time Capsule that Apple updated the code to support it, even without setting a hidden system preference for Time Machine to show (& use) "unsupported" drives.
IOW, I suspect the key is no longer necessary for anyone running up-to-date system software. If you want to check this, you can use the "defaults" terminal command to do so. For background info, see the Mac OS X Manual Page For defaults(1) for its purpose & options, but briefly its three major modes are "read," "write" & "delete." Using the "read" option as I did in my earlier post should tell you if the preference key/value pair exists & if so, how it is set. If you replace "read" in that command with "delete" it will delete the 'show unsupported' key:
<pre> defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes</pre>
You can also leave the key in place but set it to ignore the volumes:
<pre> defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 0</pre>
All I know for sure is that I never entered any 'defaults write' command for this on either of my Macs that run Leopard, & both do show the volumes attached to the Extreme in the Time Machine "Choose Disk" system preference -- but only after the volumes are mounted on those Macs in the Finder.

You need to get an external HD for the "overflow" of stuff that won't fit on your Mac.
Format it for a Mac (see #1 in Using Disk Utility), even if it says it's compatible.
Then copy what you want to the external HD. Most things you can just drag and drop; but for iTunes and iPhotos see: Moving your iTunes Music folder and Moving your iPhoto '11 Library.
Then let your Time Capsule back up both your Mac and the external HD. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for info and details.

Can I use time capsule as and external hard drive ? how ?

I would like to now if I can use my time capsule not juste to back up my mac book pro but also has a external hard drive.
I tried to add a folder in time capsule but it dosen't let me do it ????
Please help

I was just wondering if it was possible to the TC disk seperate in 2. One for backing up my cumputer and one for storing my movie and musique.
If yes, can I watch a movie from my TC ???

Can I use time capsule with a ASUS (RT-N16)router?

I will use a router with vpn. Can I use time capsule with it? And if yes, how do I connect them?

There is no vpn built into the native firmware of N16 so I presume you are going to use third party.
Just plug in the TC and bridge it.. ie go to Internet tab of airport utility and select connection sharing off.
wireless then you will need to figure out.. you can setup roaming on 2.4ghz by using identical wireless name = ssid and security but lock both to different channels.. pick out of 1, 6, 11
In a PC network make sure you use the TC with a new name.. no spaces no special characters.. same with wireless. TC also restrict wireless on 2.4ghz to only 20mhz.. if you have the N16 set to 40mhz you will have to be extra careful with channels.. 40mhz will use up two channels and only one remains.. so your household will have filled the 2.4ghz.
Someone suggested you can turn off 2.4ghz in the TC by not naming it.. When I try that it kicks up an error that it has to be named. So perhaps someone else has a suggestion of how to turn off 2.4ghz.
You can turn off 5ghz by unchecking it. Seems mighty strange that you cannot turn off 2.4ghz but you can turn off 5ghz.

How do I use my Time Capsule with hotel wired internet

How do I use my Time Capsule as a wireless router on my hotel free internet ethernet cable?

It may not be possible..
If they use a web access page, then there is no way you can set the TC to authenticate.. you must use the computer to authenticate and then use the computer to bridge to the TC for wireless clients to access.
Look up instructions on using ICS (internet connection sharing) in the Mac.
eg for 10.6.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6589
eg http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740
Of course if there is no login then you could just use it.. but I doubt you would be asking if it just worked.

How do I connet my time capsule to a new network

Hey,
I have a Time Capsule, which is set up to my old wifi. Now I have moved, and my Macbook works with the new wifi, but I can't connet my Time Capsule, my computer can't even find it. How do I setup my time capsule to the new wifi?
Please help me.....

The best way is to plug the TC by ethernet to main router in the new place. Reset it to factory.. see instructions and then it will appear in your airport utility.
You cannot connect to two different wifi signals at the same time.. if you "join the wireless" the TC will perform poorly.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

How do I connect my time capsule to iinet Bob ?

How do I connect my time capsule to iinet Bob ?
Just started with iinet naked ADSL, can locate/connect my time capsule - help please

Bob is ok as a modem.. are you using voip?? If not bridge the bob and use PPPoE client in the TC..
Or use Bob as a full modem router and bridge the TC.. either setup is much of a muchness.
