How to get in Time Capsule

Everybody of you knows that once you connect an external drive to the mac an icon appears on the desktop.
With TC isn't like that. An icon appears just when the automatic back up is performing.
Just beside the backup folder in TC I created another folder in order to manually save some of the files I have, just if it was an external HD. Now my problem is to access to those files in TC.
How can I get in TC while it is not performing an automatic back up?
Thanks
Matteo

Yeah, I figured out I made a mistake in saving my folder in TC's back up section and not in TC's drive.
Alright, thanks a lot.

  • How do I use Time Capsule as my main wireless router and get rid of my other router?

    I haven't been able to figure out how to use my Time Capsule as my main router, currently it's connected to my old router and isn't doing much as I'm still getting internet from my old, not as good router. How do I take advantage of the Time Capsule's capabilities and make it my main router? (Preferably get rid of the other one.) The Time Capsule doesn't have an ADSL port which is why I've found it difficult to do this and even when connected to the other router I'm still receiving internet from that one and not the Time Capsule.

    Thanks, very helpful. The current modem/router I'm using to connect to the Time Capsule is in fact and ISP one, so now I just need to figure out how to "Connect to a network using ethernet to extend the network or create a second network" because whenever I try use that option it can't find the network it's extending and doesn't work.
    You can only extend another Apple router wirelessly.

  • I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

    If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
    BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
    Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

  • How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    An alternate, and simpler method for most users is to open any Finder window, then look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window.
    When you click on the Time Capsule icon, a folder......named "Data", unless you have changed the name of the drive.....will appear to the right.
    Double-click "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop, where you can now drag/drop or copy/paste data to the drive.
    If the Time Capsule does not appear under the Shared heading when you open a Finder window......then you are likely using the Yosemite operating system on your Mac, and it will take some work to find it.
    In that case, Niel's method might be the better way to go.

  • How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    Thanks for digging out the facts.
    You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
    Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
    You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

  • How to set up time capsule with att uverse

    So I'm thinking about getting a time capsule for my home network. I have several apple (Macbook pro, Ipad, Iphone) products and i think it would be convennient to have. The only problem I think I will be facing is seting up the time capsule along side with my Att uverse 2wire router. So i have several questions:
    1) I have wireless receivers for my tvs that receive the signals from the main uverse 2wire modem/router. Now I read online that you can turn of the wireless router function of the main 2wire modem/router and just turn it in to a modem (from what I understood at least). So my question is if I turn of the wirless function of the main uverse 2wire router, will that affect me watching tv with the wireless recivers that uverse provided me???
    2) I know I can probably go around the issue on question 1 by putting the time capsule in to bridge mode, but will I loose any functions on the time capsule by doing so? Will accessing the hard drive be possible if its on bridge mode?.
    3) If getting a time capsule is not worth it bacause there is no way around the issues in the first two questions then is there another product that I can use that might be better for my situation?
    Im no IT genius but I know my way around so I am comfertable trying to set it up I just need some guidence. Any help will be greatly appreciated it!!

    So my question is if I turn of the wirless function of the main uverse 2wire router, will that affect me watching tv with the wireless recivers that uverse provided me???
    The other receivers will not work if you turn off the wireless on the Uverse gateway.
    I know I can probably go around the issue on question 1 by putting the time capsule in to bridge mode, but will I loose any functions on the time capsule by doing so?
    The Time Capsule will need to connect to the Uverse gateway using an Etherent cable. The Time Capsule will be able to provide another wireless network when it is set up this way, but it will not be able to provide an additional Guest Network.
    Will accessing the hard drive be possible if its on bridge mode?.
    Yes
    If getting a time capsule is not worth it bacause there is no way around the issues in the first two questions then is there another product that I can use that might be better for my situation?
    This really depends on how many Macs that you need to back up. The Time Capsule can back up multiple Macs on a network. If you don't need that type of capability, then it would be much simpler, and a lot less expensive to connect a hard drive directly to your Mac and back up the Mac that way.
    Half of the cost of the Time Capsule is tied up in a wireless router, so if you don't plan to use the wireless on the Time Capsule, you will be paying for features that you do not use.

  • How to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

    how to set up time capsule with BT Infinity

    The easiest and sure way is to use bridge on the TC as the method of connection. The TC then becomes a device in your network and gets its IP from the main router that I presume BT supply.
    Method is,
    1. Plug the TC WAN port into the BT supplied modem by ethernet.
    2. Plug the computer you are using for the setup into the TC by ethernet.
    3. Run the airport utility .. go to internet tab on the top menu..
    In the bottom option, Connection Sharing choose off (bridged mode)
    4. Go to the wireless page and setup wireless connection as you like it.. using whichever band you want. And make sure security is set to the highest setting, wpa2 personal. Put in a decent wireless passkey.
    5. Press the update and fix whatever else the TC will show as needing fixing.. usually security stuff.
    6. You can then disconnect the ethernet and connect by wireless if you want. Any port on the TC will now be a LAN port, including WAN.
    This is assuming BT supply a wireless router with built in vdsl/other type of modem. If so you normally will not be able to bridge the modem, unless BT are using pppoe authentication which they haven't in the past.
    If you really need to use the TC as a router then you will need to work out an alternative method. You can double NAT by placing the TC in the DMZ of the BT router if that is an option. It is not without issues in general.

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

    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.

  • How to connect my time capsule & macbook to the internet?

    I purchased a Time Capsule last weekend to back up all my photos etc.  I was able to set up the Time Capsule with Airport Utility and now have my home network set up, I can easily get everything I need on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009, Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 if that helps?) EXCEPT I can't get the time capsule to connect to the internet.  For some reason whenever I want to access my pictures or the time capsule, I have to connect to the wireless network but if I want to connect to the internet I have to reconnect to my old wireless network.  I have tried everything but just can't get it to work correctly! The Time Capsule light has only ever flashed orange at me...

    time capsule should be in bridge mode and plugged into your main router so it is part of the existing network.
    Bridge on you Lion version is easy as you can still download and install a real utility.

  • I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3.  can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help, thanks.

    I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3.  can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help?  thanks

    Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
    To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
    Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
    Release the reset.
    Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
    The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
    This is version 5.
    Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
    Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
    Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
    Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
    Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
    If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots.

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

    That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
    See deadtimecapsule.org
    The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
    But it is well and truly time to replace.
