Any way to set up Time Capsule as wireless router WITHOUT Airport Utility?

I'm Macless at the moment and I just had to reset my Time Capsule... now it's showing up as Apple Network blahblah and it's completely visible and unprotected.
Tried the usual 192.168.0.1, .0.2, .1.0, .1.1, .1.2 without any luck. Any way to do this? Do I need to be plugged in via ethernet?
Thanks.

AirPort Utility is the only way to configure the Time Capsule.

Can I stream things directly from the time capsule to my AppleTv without using my computer?

I have an older MacBook and I'm worried about the storage so I want to get things moved to a Time Capsule. I was just wondering if I can stream things directly from the Time Capsule to the AppleTV without having to store them in iTunes on my computer and play them off of there.

You cannot stream from a TC .. it is not a media device.. you can store movie files on the TC but you still need to run the computer to play them.
Depending on how you connect this can cause dramatic slowdowns.
A WD Live TV can play raw movie files from a TC.. because it is not a media streamer which is all the ATV is, it is a full media player.

Can i use my time capsule as back up without hooking it to internet

Can I use my Time Capsule as a back up without hooking it up to the modem?
Can I use the Time Capsule as back up without hookig it up to internet?

Yes, but it is extremely poor setup.
The TC does not have to be the main router.. normally you can plug it into the main router and simply bridge it and leave the wireless off even.. it then sits there as a dumb network drive.
If you setup the TC with no internet connection then the computer that backs up to it, must lose internet connection while doing backups.. In stand alone simple setup the TC as router. and ignore all the issues with disconnected WAN. When you want to backup change over the computer wireless or ethernet to the TC.
It is clunky and you will lose the whole advantage of time machine.. automated backups.
I recommend you simply buy a USB drive. it is faster, more reliable and less costly.

I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4. I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule. I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network. AE no longer works.

I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.

TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

How to send image file through mail without any attachment

Plz tell me how to send image file through mail without any attachment ( i mean not converting that image into pdf or any format ) i want to send that text or image through mail .

Hi Sandeep,
I think you can setup the type of email in Shared office Settings in transaction S016.
There is an option called <Preset document classes>
You choose this pushbutton to branch to the maintenance screen for the document classes that are directly displayed to users in the Business Workplace for selection when they use the Create function. The name under which the documents are displayed can also be maintained.

SHARE TIME CAPSULE AS THROUGH INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB

SHARE TIME CAPSULE AS THROUGH INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB

Most ISP correctly block SMB over internet. It is too insecure .. use VPN to a different router and place the TC behind it.
Besides TC does not expose SMB to WAN.. same reason. You have to port forward SMB.
You can use SMB on some strange port.. there are instructions if you want you networked just use them.

Time Capsule slow in Lion and errors

hello --
ever since upgrading to lion i am having a lot of problems with my time capsule. it is running extremely slow, while before it was perfectly acceptable over wifi. eventually i installed the time capsule buddy widget and noticed the error below repeatedly occuring (in bold). i also noticed that all of a sudden it requires 1.89 GB to backup ( !!! ) in the last line, something that never was an issue before. have others encountered similar issues?
thank you in advance.

A: Time Capsule slow in Lion and errors

Same problem here - slow backing up to my Time Capsule. Today I had some trouble after booting my MacBook Pro. Finder got stuck and after some restarts Spotlight re-indexed and everything seems fine. And now backing up is much faster. I used to have a lot of time waiting for indexing. But I still get this error message:
2012-08-26 21:51:49,984 com.apple.backupd: Failed to move /Volumes/Data/Pärs MacBook Pro 111026.sparsebundle to file://localhost/Volumes/Data/P%C3%A4rs%20MacBook%20Pro%20111026.sparsebundle/ error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=516 "“Pärs MacBook Pro 111026” couldn’t be moved to “Data” because an item with the same name already exists."

But it seems that everything is working fine. It's backing up and I am able to restore files via Time Machine.
Should I worry?
Any clues?

How can I download again Snow Lion without repaying it?

I have downloaded Snow Lion directly from App Store and never saved it. Checking on my purchase on App Store (even keeping ALT pushed) I cannot see it among the purchased items. How can I download again Snow Lion without repaying it?

To try to solve your problem I would first boot into the Lion Recovery Partition by restarting your computer while holding the down the Command - R keys until the chime. When you get there, I would run DIsk Repair from the Disk Utilitites folder. Then I would also run Repair Permissions. These may solve your problem. If necessary, if those did Not solve it, you can run a reinstall of Lion from right there in the Recovery Partition.
And. personally, I never work on correcting the OS without First having a backup copy available on an external harddrive. In case bad things happen.
Hope this helps

If you used your 10.6 install disk to wipe the drive completely:
Then your going to have to install 10.6, Software Update to 10.6.8, go to the AppStore and log in with your AppleID and hold on option key while clicking on Purchases to redownload the Lion installer like you did before.
When you install OS X Lion it creates a hidden partition on the drive that you can hold command and r (option) keys down while booting to load it, it's called Recovery HD.
It has Disk Utility which can erase the Macintosh HD and also install Lion again from Apple's servers with your AppleID and password.
Your AppleID ties you to the install OS X, because it was used to purchase it earlier from AppStore.

How to resolve Time capsule not being seen in Airport utility?

My Time Capsule cannot be recognized by Airport utility. I have already tried the soft reset option, but still no luck.
Trying not to do a hard reset, b/c I would prefer not loosing all of the information on the hard drive.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Trying not to do a hard reset, b/c I would prefer not loosing all of the information on the hard drive.
Any type of reset....soft, hard, or Factory Default.....will NOT touch the data on the Time Capsule drive.
You have to perform a completely separate Erase operation if you want to wipe the drive clean.
If you have not already done so, try connecting an Ethernet cable directly from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule. Power down both the Mac and Time Capsule and restart. See if that helps AirPort Utility "see" the Time Capsule.
If not, then you will need to perform a Hard Reset or Factory Default Reset and start over again. You can use the same device name and passwords that you used before if you wish.

HT4259 This article is outdated (as well as others). I have Airport Extreme (latest) and Time Capsule (earlier version) and newest Airport Utility version.

I have difficulty in setting up the newest Airport Extreme with Time Capsule. How to wire Time Capsule over ethernet is so confusing and the documentation I found is outdated.

OK, thanks for the clarification.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable if it is plugged into the Time Capsule at this time.
With the Time Capsule powered on, hold in the reset button on the back of the device for 9-10 seconds and then release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
This will not affect any backups that you might have already stored on the Time Capsule.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule. I assume that you have tested the Ethernet cable independently to make sure that it is working correctly.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on Time Capsule. The screenshot below shows an AirPort Express.....you will see Time Capsule on your screen.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Time Capsule will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Time Capsule. You can use the same name that you used before, then click Next.
Now AirPort Setup will indicate that the Time Capsule is being configured to extend using Ethernet. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done. That's it.

Extending Time Capsule wireless network with an Airport Extreme

Hello - can anyone please advise about extending a wireless Time Capsule network by adding an Airport Extreme?
I've looked at the Apple support advice - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -
Wi-Fi base stations: Setting up and configuring an extended wireless network (802.11n) -
but I couldn't seem to make it work. I don't know if it is different as I'm using Mountain Lion, but I cannot seem to locate a '

Temporarily, move the AirPort Extreme to the same room or general area of the Time Capsule, power it up, and wait a full minute.
Then, hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 9-10 seconds, then release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Close AirPort Utility if it is open.
Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your Mac's screen. Wait a few seconds for the listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
Click on AirPort Extreme just below that and AirPort Utility will open automatically open and analyze your network settings. In the example above, this is shown as an AirPort Express. In another minute, you will see that it will configure the AirPort Extreme to "Extend" the network.
Enter a device name that you want to use and click Next
Wait another minute for AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort Extreme. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
Move the AirPort Extreme to a location that is approximtely half the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that needs more wireless coverage and power it up.
You are all set.

After hard reset my time capsule is not found in airport even though its light is green so cannot reset

After hard reset the time capsule is not found in airport even though i have reconnected in proper order - says backup disc not found

Something is wrong because a hard reset will never leave the TC with green LED.
What version TC.. what firmware??
What OS on the computer?

How is Time Capsule controlled through lion (without airport)?
