I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there

I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

How get data off Time Capsule that otherwise doesn't work

I think a power surge caused our Time Capsule to stop working. I took it to the Apple Store today and they couldn't get it to come up and be recognized. While Apple will replace it, they said they don't help get the data off (and referred me to a couple of Apple consultants). But, they were pretty sure the data was in good shape.. just most everything else apparently wasn't working.
Do I need to use one of these 3rd party consultants to get the data off, or can I do myself? Just wondering if anyone has tried and is it easy enough for the average person to do self-serve.
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. I have a bunch of video on my time capsule and im in the middle of editing it and now I cant access the video and in final cut it just says media off line and there is no way to reconnect to it. Could somebody please tell us if there is a way to fix this without too much work.

How to connect my new Time Capsule and new Apple TV to my Airport Extreme?

Hello, I just moved into a new apartment with one DSL outlet for internet from the kitchen. I set up an Airport Extreme in the kitchen without a problem. But I don't know how to set up the TIme Capsule in my home office and the Apple TV in my living room? Can someone help me? Thank you very much!
Ray

I would try to connect the Extreme and the TC by ethernet for a more reliable and faster network. The secondary router must be in bridge mode, use Airport Utility "manual" to set that up.
Once your network is tested by yourself and reliable then power up ATV and use the remote to go to setting. Assuming you have a main computer with your itunes library setup and launched without sleeping then go to ATV settings/computers and point to your computer which has your library. ATV should give you a 5 digit code. Enter this in your itunes column on lefthand side, its self explanatory assuming in itunes preferences you have checked under ATV "look for ATV."

How to change loacalization of time capsule and other wifi hardware

I have several apple machines like, time capsule and airport extreme from different countries around the world. In a globalized world I move every 3-4 years to a new country/region. In the wifi setup of the time capsule and the airport extreme you'll only find 5 or six countries (china, Korea, Japan, chile...) but nothing about Morocco or any european country. So when you try to set "restricted access" between 1 to 5 p.m., your regional setting is China, but you live some where in Europe, there is a time difference of several hours you have to take into consideration. That is a bad joke.
There is no way of choosing a different location or setting the time as far as I know inside the setup.
Any ideas, before I sell all my Apple stuff and buy Samsung or Fujitsu?

Hi, you must go to Airport Utility, and in menù Disk you can change the name.

How do i use my time capsule and extend the network with airport express

I have a new iMac and Time Capsule, how do i extend the network with airport express. My time capsule does have a guest net work, and logins and passwords? I am no computer person. So for me it would have to be spelled out.

Use the search as this has been done to death ..
Bob Timmons is the expert on this.. look at his answers here.

This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.
Apple doco is also good to read.

Note.
You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.
All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.

How can I get my time capsule and airport express (as a network extension) working properly together?

Hi,
I bought a time capsule a while back and connected it to my modem, and it seems to be backing up my hard drives but I can't tell if I'm getting my wireless signal from my time capsule or from the modem itself, which used to before I bought the time capsule.
It's bugging me because I'm trying to get my airport express to work as an extension to my network, and airport utility half the time can't pick up the express. I heard that it will only work of the time capsule is working as the base station,and I'm not 100% sure this is the case.
Also, how far can the airport express be from my time capsule for it to be picked up? I tried resetting it which helped to start with, but when I was setting it up to extend my network it just told me that there was an error and to try again, which I did with the same result.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Always do setups with ethernet.. setting up wireless via wireless is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.
You do not need the TC in the network to do the setup.
Plug it by itself into the computer. Same with AE. But do each separately.
Give the TC a different wireless name.. like TC.. then you will know the TC wireless is separate and different to the main modem router. Simply allow it to be extended.
Plug it back into the main modem.
Now do the AE.. set it to extend the wireless of the TC.
When you do this check the signal level. The airport utility v5 has a full diagnostic of wireless client levels.. do not use v6 utility.. it is useless. The AE is placed somewhere in between the TC and the clients you want to connect.. it has to get decent signal itself to extend wireless. And there is no way we can tell you how far apart.. pick the half way point.. around about and suck and see. If it doesn't work move closer to the TC.
Count the walls the signal is going through.. about 15% signal loss for each one.. if angle is acute 20%.. floors are worse.. they might be 20-25%..

Can't get data off Time Capsule

I had to erase my HD and reinstall Yosemite (multiple times) because my machines could not boot, shut down or run reliably. I used Migration Assistant to restore my applications and user files from my 2014 Time Capsule. But on my Macbook Pro, it lied: no applications were actually restored (possibly the reason I finally ended up with a machine that could boot up), and while it restored much of my filespace, it didn't restore my music or photos, at least 60 GB of data.
I can't restore them using Time Machine because it seems to regard my erased HD as unrelated to the earlier one. And I can't open the sparsebundle in the Finder: I always get "connection failed". Resetting the TC (via Airport Utility) did not help. What can I do?

Switching everything off, then on again later, seems to reset things enough. Now to copy stuff back manually... what a pain.

How to restore data from time capsul

How can you restore your data from Apple Time Capsule?
Would it be an idea to share your back up with others? And can it be done?

Read Q14-17 here.
Q18 covers copying backups to other locations.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
If you want a secondary backup use another tool. A direct disk image from superduper is free to do.. and works much better to do a restore of the computer.

Can I grab something off time Capsule and put it on another external drive?

Something happened to my iPHoto librry this morning (it's gone -- don't ask). So I've tried twice to restore it from TC from last night. It hangs at about 2/3 of the way through, and I can't restore the whole thing.
So -- a question. Is there a way to copy it from TC and put it on an external drive? I'm wondering if I just copy it, and then copy it back, or just create a new library, if that would work. At the moment, I'm copying, for safety's sake, a backup from an external drive from a week ago. Sadly, I've put 2 to 3 hours of work in on modifying 200 photos since last week, which I will probably have to re-do. But at least I'd have my library and all my photos. It would be better if I could get the backup from last night, after I finished the job. (Or even from mid-day. Then I'd only have to re-create about 30 or 45 minutes of work)

Hi Beth, welcome to the discussions!
Might be a good idea to also post over in the iPhoto forum if you haven't tried this yet as this is a common topic on their boards.
You may be able to get your iPhoto library back by rebuilding it. I've done it, but's it's been a long time, so don't want to mislead you on anything. The guys over in the iPhoto forum are real experts and should have some fixes for you.

To back up data in Time capsule to external hard drive...

I have Time Capsule 500gb connected with Seagate external USB hard drive. My iMac and Time Capsule are connected wirelessly.
I've stored my music data in Time Capsule, and I want to back up this data to Seagate hard drive. First I turned on Time Machine feature, but this function didn't seem to support data in Time Capsule. Here are my question.
1. What should I do to back up from TC to Seagate using Time Machine feature?
2. If I could not use Time Machine, what method is the most convenient to back up?
Please help me.

I have just checked two programs called Carbon Copy Cloner and Superduper! but these don't support NAS drive back-up. Anyone know alternative device or programs to back up in my case? Please help me.

How Do I Delete backup data from Time Capsule if have 2 computers on 1 TC?

I have been backing up 2 computers (one desktop/one laptop) to a 1TB Time Capsule. I have now added an external hard drive for the desktop computer and would like to delete that computer's backups from Time Capsule to free up space for the laptop computer. How do I delete the desktop computer's backup data from Time Capsule without disturbing the laptop back ups? Do I drag the desktop computer's backups.backupdb and sparsebundle to trash and empty?
Thanks.

Thanks though I am still a bit confused as I had read NOT to delete via Finder, but via Disk Utility (erase). Does it make any difference?
You're probably referring to the advice never to change, move, or delete anything inside your backups via the Finder, as that can corrupt them.
A number of folks have tried to delete a single backup that way, and caused all sorts of troubles.
Deleting the entire sparse bundle is ok.

How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.
