How to scan HP Photosmart C4580 connected to my Time Capsule.

Hi, I just got a HP Photosmart C4580 connected to my Time Capsule, And I can send my printing jobs without any problem, But I can't scan sending the command throw the network, I tried with the Preview app Image Capture, nothing worked.:-(. When I connect the printer via USB scanner works fine.
How can I send the sanner job to the printer via Time Capsule?

No you are using the wifi in the ad hoc mode.. you can join it to the TC in infrastructure mode.. ie as a client of the TC.. and therefore on the network.. what I meant was the TC is not the print server.. the TC has no part in print jobs or scan jobs.. the TC knows nothing.. it is a router and gives an ip to a client.. what that client is, the TC has no idea.. that is what you want.. the TC is uninvolved in the job .. meaning it does not take part in printing or scaning or faxing or anything else. It is merely a switch on the network. It sends packets it does not understand to the right address.

How IPAD use the Printer which connected with the Time Capsule

I connnected a printer to time capsule. And I can use the printer in Windows. But I can't use it on IPAD and IPHONE.
So are there any solutions?

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. Wireless printers or printers connected to a Time Capsule are not necessarily AirPrint capable.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
The xPrintServer Home Edition will support a directly connected USB printer. The Network Edition will support any network printer.
These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

How to share external USB drive connected to airport time capsule

I have a 4TB Seagate USB Hard Drive connected to my Airport Time Capsule. The Time Capsule connected to a newer iMac running Maverick.
I use the Time Capsule for Time Machines Backups and as a Router, as it was designed for.
I want to use the external Seagate drive to share content with other devices (Mac, IOS, Windows) on my home network
Problem: I cannot figure out how to SHARE the external Seagate drive so that any other devices can see it.
Steps tried: Go to System Preferences, Sharing, and I am unable to add this Seagate drive to list of sharable objects. It is grayed out.

the drive is formatted as AppleShare. Is that a potential problem?
No, that is the correct setting if you want to share out the drive.
Finally, when I run Disk Utility I don't see the Seagate drive (nor the Time Capsule) at all.
Remember that the Time Capsule is a network drive. Any other drive connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule is also a network drive.
Disk Utility cannot be used on a network drive. It only works on a drive that is directly attached to a Mac. If you need to partition the USB drive or something similar, you will need to connect it directly to your Mac for the operation.
Otherwise, everything looks correct in AirPort Utility.

How can i exclude my macbook backup on time capsule from other imac connected to same time capsule?

we have several mac connected to same time capsule, how can i exclude one macbook backup from all the others mac accessing same time capsule?
thanks

Not exactly clear what you mean.. the TC will keep each Mac backup in its own sparsebundle.. it does this automagically.. The backups are not mixed.. all are kept separate.
Or is this a security question.. you don't want people looking at the contents of the backup?
You can increase the security of the TC.. but it is too late.. you should have done it when first installed. If you go to the setup you can change security (Secure Shared Disks) by selecting with Accounts.. the problem is you will lose access to all the existing backups. You really need to do a clean start.. create accounts for all the users and start again.
Also note security is not a big feature here.. anybody with physical access to the TC can press the reset for 1sec and get access. It is a home device not a business device.

How do I connect an old Time Capsule to look for data from a previous OS?

Hello. I replaced my old Time Capsule with a new one a few months ago, and broke in the new Time Capsule with a fresh backup of a clean 10.9 install after migrating my user account.
Today, I noticed that there were some folders full of personal data that are neither on my MBP, nor in my Time Machine backups on the new Time Capsule. I am hoping that these folders still exist on my old Time Capsule which I used with 10.8.
I'm wondering how to search through my old Time Capsule and its Time Machine backups. Specifically, I'm wondering how to connect it to my MacBook Pro, and whether I will be able to search for my (hopefully not) lost data through the Time Machine interface, or through the directory structure contained in Backups.backupdb.
Can anyone help me out with a plan to proceed?
Thank you very much.

1. Turn off Time Machine in System Preferences
2. Unplug new Time Capsule
3. Turn off Wi-Fi in the menu bar
4. Attach old Time Capsule to power
5. Attach old Time Capsule to MBP via ethernet
6. Wait for old Time Capsule to appear in Finder > Sidebar > Shared
7. Select old Time Capsule in Finder > Sidebar > Shared and Connect to old Time Capsule
8. Select the Data directory
9. Double-click on the .sparsebundle file that represents the volume that was backed up on the old Time Capsule
10. Hold down the option key and click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and select Browse Other Backup Disks...
11. Select the Time Machine backup disk you would like to browse and choose Use Selected Disk
12. Browse old Time Capsule backup in Time Machine environment, restore data as normal, exit Time Machine as normal
13. Eject old Time Machine backups (the .sparsebundle you mounted) under Devices in Finder > Sidebar
14. Eject old Time Capsule under Finder > Sidebar > Shared
15. Disconnect ethernet; disconnect old Time Capsule from power.
16. Plug in new Time Capsule (it boots); turn Wi-Fi on (reconnect to network, if necessary); turn Time Machine back on in System Preferences

HT2426 how do i access my external hard drive connected to my time capsule 4th gen

how do i acess my external hard drive (wd) that is connected to my time capsule using a macbook pro?

Make sure that the drive has been formatted correctly to work with the Time Capsule.
That means a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled)....highly recommended.....or FAT32.
Once this is checked, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab at the top of the screen
If the USB port on the Time Capsule can supply enough power to the hard drive, you will see the name of the drive displayed in the window, per the example below:
If you have the correct format on the drive, and it does not appear, this is an indication that the USB port on the Time Capsule (which is under powered), does not have enough power to work with your hard drive.......even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
In this case, you will need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule to provide enough current for the hard drive.
Now you should be able to access the drive using the Finder to mount it on the desktop.

How do i get my HP MF1217 to connect to my time capsule

I just bought a HP Laser Jet MF1217 and I can't get it to connect to my time capsule so it is available wirelessly on my network. I have an Mac running Mountain Lion and have a Fios modem that I connect to the time capsule and then everything connects wirelessly to the time capsule on my network. I can get the printer to work through usb but I want to be able to use it wirelessly and Air print so our phones can print to it.
Anyone else been through this yet?

If you have FIOS router.. does that have wireless? Set the TC up in bridge mode.. join the Printer to the FIOS router by wireless.. it will not matter which it connects to.
If you really need to connect to the TC.. make sure the TC is setup using SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric. I would give a different name to 5ghz.. and lock the wireless channels as well.
I am not sure of that particular printer but setting up manually for wpa2 personal security will be easier than using WPS.. which is difficult to access on the TC.. although it should be on the FIOS.

I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem. It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem. If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
Or am I completely on the wrong track.

Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585 v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge? Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
Cheers

Airport Utility says Mac connected to unkown Time Capsule

Hi,
I have an issue with Airport Utility (6.3.2) and a Time Capsule in my local network. This is happening at work where I have an iMac connected to the local LAN via an Ethernet connection. Wireless airport is switched off. When I open Airpot Utility, however, it shows my computer connected to a Time Capsule somewhere in my local network. See the image below.
None of my colleagues, nor the system administrator, knows to whom that Time Capsule belongs to nor were it is located. If I go to System Preferences > Network and I disable the Ethernet port ("Configure IPv4", select "Inactive") my internet connection is gone, but Airport Utility still shows the Time Capsule as connected to my iMac.
The only manner in which Airport Utility will show the Time Capsule disconnected is by unplugging the Ethernet cable.
So, I have a few questions because I could not find the answers anywhere and my system administrators have no idea what is going on (they are specialised in Windows environments):
1) The fact that Airport Utility displays a green light on the Time Capsule does it mean it is connected to my computer? If so, how can I disconnect it? Clicking on the Time Capsule icon I am asked for a password I obviously don't know. So I cannot acess its configuration pane.
2) How do I know if there is any data traffic between my computer and the Time Capsule? I cannot find out its IP or MAC addresses (Airport Uitility will not show them to me).
3) Is it possible that the internet traffic of the owner of the Time Capsule is being re-routed through my computer? My internet connection is indeed more unstable and slower than that of my colleagues (using Windows or Linux) but I can't figure out why.
Thank you.
iMac 21" (Late 2012, iMac13,1)
Mac OS X (10.9.5)
Airport Utility 6.3.2

1. It isn't connected, but Airport Utility sees in on the network.
2. There shouldn't be any data traffic unless you initiate it.
3. Highly unlikely.

Is there a way to connect to my Time Capsule over internet from an iPad

Hi,
Could anybody please help me configure how to connect to my Time Capsule 3TB over internet from my iPad.
I would like to use it as Cloud station over internet.
I was able to connect from my Mac on both "over internet and from my local network" using "Back to My Mac"
I was able to conncet also from my iPad from my local network.
I bought some file browser Apps which enable iPad to connect as "afp, smb" but I could'nt manage to make it work?
I made all the setting required: Enabling NAT Port Mapping, File Sharing, Sharing Disk over WAN, but without success?!
Shouldn't Apple includes and supports iPad to make such connection like "Back to My Mac" protocol.
I believe that Time Capsule is a great product, but I think Apple should consider more of software compatibilities.
Thanks,,

Thanks Bob,
I already tried FileBrowser and I did all the steps as per the instruction on their webpage, but alwasy give error message.
Could it be that "smb" protocol blocked by my internet provider.
I am connecting to internet using DHCP.
Many thanks

Hello. My mac can't connect to my time capsule. There is no response and I can't put it back to the originals definitions because all my files are there and I can´t loose them. (sorry about my bad english, but I really need help!)

Your files are unaffected by a reset.. no reset via the reset button on the TC harms, deletes or does anything to your files.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
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.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Here is how to do a fully manual setup for TC which is sometimes necessary with Mavericks in particular.
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
