I mnaged somehow to see it once and then i upload some photos but now I can not view them. I can do backup without any problem. I just need to find out how to get it as a device in finder.

You will not see the Time Capsule as a Device in the Finder.
Open Finder or Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window.
Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder representing the Time Capsule disk will appear to the right.
Double click the folder to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop.  You can drag/drop or copy/paste to the drive.

  • How to set Time capsule as base station and airport express to join

    I have a wireless network using an Airport express. Now I would like to have time capsule to be set up as the base station and just the airport express to join this network, in order to listen wirelessly to music, but keep the speed of the time capsule.
    Right now, the ethernet cable is connected to the Airport express. Do I have to switch that to the Time capsule? I tried to do that, but it wasn't able to connect to the internet in this case.... I am lost. Now I have a speedy time capsule, but have the network running on the slow Airport express... Please help!!! And I believe as you guessed already, I am not a smarty, when it comes to networks.
    HELP! Please!!

    I actually have mine set up this way that you are looking to do. Works well for me. here si what you can try:
    Make sure you unplug the Express all together first. It does interfere when trying to set this up. Next setup your TC just like the instruction says (remember no Express). You should just be able to set up your TC, connect to the internet and get going like any other router or like the Airport Extreme. if you set up your TC with your comp and CANNOT access the internet that is your first problem. My suggestion: do a hard reset of the TC if you have already attached it to the Express while also doing a hard reset of the Express - this is to bring them both back to afctory defaults to start fresh. This definitaely helped me.
    So once you have your TC up and running and you have internet access thru your TC, you are halfway there. Make sure your TC shows in the left column of the Airport Utility (and dont forget to install the Airport Utility from the disc that comes with teh TC before you do any of this, forgot that). if it shows up in the left column you should also be able to see the Express in that column, both with green lights, if you have set this up correctly. Then plug in the Express. As the above mentioned remember t make sure it is connected to the correct port on that back of the TC. It will remain amber then blink a few times. This is normal. It should be blinking amber when you attempt the setup of the Express. Your airport utility shoul dnow see the addt base station (Express) in the left column. When you click on it and click CONTINUE it will ask you if you want to switch networks. You can do that and lick switch provided you are already connected to the TC and alrady have an internet connection. Once you click switch the TC will disappear from the left column and you will be left only with the Express. This is OK. I am not in fron to fm y comp right now so I am doing this from memory but in setting up the Express you want to add it to your existing network. You will have to choose which network to add it to in a drop down box in one of those steps - just make sure you add it to the one that you named your TC. Then click to the finish and click UPDATE. Let it finish the update - you shoul dsee green light son both the TC and Extreme HARDWARE - not necessarily in the airport utility. Also it is a good idea to to to the menu bar on top where the WiFi icon is and manually select your network in case you get bumped off while the TC is updating itself after you ckicl update - this happened ot me and it wouldnt complete the update and took me forever to figure out it needs internet connection to complete the update screen.
    next make sure you RESTART your comp. This I guess will make all changes basically go into effect as you cycle it up. When you are up and running you should see your WiFi connect as your TC and NOT your Express. Also go back into airport utility and see if you ahve both items listed in left column - they too should have a greenlight. If they do you should be set.
    I did this because I wanted to steam my iTunes files that I have on my TC to stream to iTunes via my network. The Express part, as you know, is what allows the streaming. So make sure you plug your stereo cable into the Express audio port. Then go to iTunes and on the bottom you will notice a new little drop down box - make sure to select Express so it can wireless stream (in iTunes prefs there is a pref you must turn on also to allow iTunes to see remote speakers.
    Ive simplified this a little since I am not at home but this is the gist. In a prefect worl you should be able to easily have this work. I did so I know it does at least work if not anything else. You just have to make sure you get the steps correct and have everyhing plugge din where they should be...
    G'luck

  • I set up a new airport time capsule. Most devices work fine however now my apple tv 2nd gen won't work.

    I set up a new airport time capsule. Most devices connected fine however now my apple tv 2nd gen won't work. I turn it on and it searches for time and date but goes no further. I can't by pass it either. Any suggestions?

    I can't by pass it either. Any suggestions?
    Does that mean you cannot move it to the TC and plug in by ethernet? What does bypass mean?
    I would still move it closer to the TC.. and just trial it there. Range on some AC models for 2.4ghz is worse than old one. For some people.
    Another thing to try is fixed wireless channels.. one of the very few options still available in the AC model.. lock the 2.4ghz to 11, 6, 1 .. try it in that order.

  • How to add Time Capsule to a Telewell ASDL Router

    I tried to connect Time Capsule (2 TB a bit older model) to a Telewell ASDL Router and then run Time Machine through WiFi to Time Capsule. However, the only way I was able to make it work was to plug Time Capsule to the MacBook with an ethernet cable. When I tried to plug Time Capsule to the Telewell Router (with an ethernet cable) the internet connection of the router got disconnected. So I believe I am asking how to connect Time Capsule to the router, and if I need to do something in addition (i.e. is is possible to run two WLANs - the one from Telewell and the other from Time Capsule simultaneously?).
    Thanks for your help!
    Matti

    Put the TC in bridge mode and plug it into the Modem.. it will work fine if you set it up before you plug it in.. I have given extremely detailed instructions here..
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5703308?tstart=0
    Are you really using Snow Leopard?? If so the manual setup from 5.6 utility is a bit different but the overall information is still correct..
    You can run two different WLANs without issues.. you must setup the TC to create a wireless network anyway.. do not try to extend or join the modems' wireless .. that is wrong.
    It has to be plugged into the modem by ethernet.

  • How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

    How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

    Cross your fingers and hope.
    Obviously if there is any big or known threat Apple will send out a firmware fix.
    But the TC is designed to be end user simple device. It has no firewall that is visible at any rate. I don't know that it truly doesn't have a firewall but it is not part of the end user controls.
    IMO if you have major security concerns that go beyond end device firewall, which is where Apple do put most of the security, since firewall in the router is plainly not a stop to anybody deliberately downloading an infected file or website, and most end users.. do not want a firewall that prevents them using the web like a business does, where only certain ports are allowed. Everything else tough luck.. you are not allowed to use it. Then TC is unsuitable for you anyway.. buy a proper firewall appliance.

  • How to setup TIme capsule with a DSL router step by step?

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know how to conncet Time Capsule set by step through a DSL router?
    I already have a DSL router, but want to connect my time capsule to that router.
    Do i connect it through ethernet?, and is it possible to have my time capsule as a different router at home with a different password than the DSL router?, if so how is that possible?, is going to have the same download/upload speed as the DSL router?
    Please help, thanks

    You simply bridge the TC.
    Plug it by ethernet into the adsl modem router and it will work fine.
    nd is it possible to have my time capsule as a different router at home with a different password than the DSL router?,
    No, the TC will cause trouble if you set it up as a router.. it has to be bridged. You only have a single adsl connection but there are some ISP that allow a secondary pppoe login and some modems that allow it. It is pretty difficult setup. Ask your ISP as there is often a charge that is very high for the second connection. It will still share the same link so there is no improvement in speed, merely two different authentications sharing the same line. The TC can do pppoe client but has nothing very fancy about it.

  • How to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

    how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

    Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn. 
    Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
    This is the only safe way to do it via windows.
    http://www.dyncommunity.com/questions/18132/accessing-time-capsule-from-windows- 7-over-the-int.html
    If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

  • Where can I find a video that tells me how to set time on photos to 1 second each?

    where can I find a video that tells me how to set time on photos to 1 second each? Where can I find a video that tells me how to add black space to the sides of all photos so that they display completely instead of only showing the center (which shows peoples' crotches but cuts off their heads- great huh?)? Would like to import whole folders of photos, set each to 1 second, have each display completely without distorting to fill. and "play" the timeline as I build it so that I can see if its working before putting in 2000 pics?

  • How big a Time Capsule do i need, I'm totally new to Mac!

    Hi, how big a Time Capsule do I need in order for it to work as my backup? Let say if I bought an Imac with 2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD and with that, bought a 2 TB Time Capsule for backup, would that be enough or would I need to buy a 3 TB Time Capsule? Thanx!

    But if I buy the Imac I wrote about in my previous question (2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD), would I then need to buy two, 2TB Time capsuls,
    If you plan to fill up most of  the space on the iMac right from the start, then you might need more space. Few users ever use more than about 75-80% of the space on their computers. I was figuring you would fill up about 75% of the drive....around 1.5 TB or so.  3 TB backup would be about right.
    If I buy 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD, then 2 TB Time Capsule will be enough, right?
    Correct.

  • 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 to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

    Hello,
    I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
    I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their  network.
    Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
    Thank you for your help.

    Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
    There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
    If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
    Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
    Correct, it will work.
    I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
    As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection.  You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
    If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

  • How fast would Time Capsule restore 500GB over wi-fi, Thanks

    How fast would Time Capsule restore 500GB over wi-fi, Thanks

    Using Ethernet, you normally get around 30 GB per hour transferred, so about 16-17 hours that way.
    Wireless would be about 3-5 times slower, on average, so a very rough estimate would be 50-80 hours over wireless. Much depends on your actual wireless connection. Do you know what that is?
