You cannot if the Samsung needs DLNA server.. which is what I would expect.. Apple stuff does not support DLNA.. because it is Apple.. and therefore different.

Apple TV is not a player.. it is kind of an intermediary device.. it requires itunes running on a computer to send or stream stuff to it.. if you had your itunes library on the TC.. the computer can then stream it to the ATV and thus onto your TV..
TC is a dumb as a board storage device.. no media players.. no players of any kind media or otherwise.. just dumb storage space.
Your Mede8er 400 might be able to play files.. what formats does it play??
Have you copied files to the TC that it can read?
Have you setup the TC with full smb compliant names.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Have you setup the workgroup name as WORKGROUP and turned on the guest account to full read and write.. it might work.
Your ATV should be able to work from itunes on the windows computer and stream that to the TV.

Work around for streaming movies from time capsules/attached external HD

Can someone tell me how you can stream movies to iPhone/iPad/ATV3 from external HD attached to time capsule via an app or other method ?

This is just a general comment.. There are no apps for TC.. it is not a media player, so it cannot stream to anything.. if you store media files on the TC there has to be a player.. So you have to use a computer.. or possibly the ipad.. which will need a file browser app and a player app, but you do not stream to it.. you stream from it.

How CAN I PRINT FROM TIME CAPSULE?

I've set up Time Capsule through Airport utility and Time Machine but had some problems doing so. Consequently, it was set up with print cable still hooked to iMac. Now that Time Capsule is functioning as a backup for my files, I've tried to print from Time Capsule to my HP PSC 1610 printer. I've transfered my print cable from iMac to Time Capsule and tried to make any changes necessary to print from it. But it doesn't work. What am I possibly doing wrong? I've tried following page 28 of Time Capsule setup guide (If your printer isn't responding) but that has not helped.

How stream music from Time-Capsules hard drive via iPhone and AirPlay without any computer turned on?

Is there a possibility to stream music stored on my time-capsules hard drive directly to my iPhone and then ask the iPhone the send the music (in real-time) via AirPlay to my AirPlay compatible speakers, without having ANY computer turned on? I know that the Sonos system managed this simple task, but Apple? Any news in iOS 4.3 or 5 maybe.

As Chris says... but if the media is on an external drive as above then you also need to make sure the external drive has the same drive letter on the system you are moving to or iTunes won't be able to find the files.

HT201250 How to restore laptop from time capsule after replacing hard drive

How do I reload all my programs and files from a time capsule after changing hard drive? Also Apple store reloaded with Snow Leopard and not Lion. Will that be a problem? Thank you

Plug the external drive into a computer by usb or whatever box you have available..
When you say blank, is it correctly formatted.. we recommend HFS+ which is Mac OS Extended (jorrnaled)
Make sure you use GUID type disk setup not MBR if it came from PC world.
Copy the files via finder from TC to the external drive.

Streaming direct from Time Capsule (without a PC on)

This question may have been put forward a number of times and apologies if so. Is it possible to stream directly from a Time Capsule (or equivalent) to the Apple TV without a computer acting as an intermediary?
If so, how is this done, and if not, is it on the Apple's functionality roadmap?

No, iTunes play a key role in syncing/streaming data.
AppleTv probably does not know the location of media files, only the media type and metadata, so when selected for streaming it asks iTunes to stream the file.
I agree it would be nice to have a standalone server but they'd have to make it cost effective for anyone to buy one rather than a small computer which might be more flexible if prices were equivalent.
The NAS products out there which puport to have in-built iTunes servers are ok for sharing with iTunes on the network, but are not fully AppleTV compatible due to the need to set iTunes up with a numerical code to work with AppleTV.

Streaming movies from Time Capsule to Apple TV without opened iTunes Library

Hello !
It is possible to streaming movies from my Time Capsule without using Mac or iPhone like streaming device
For example ( I am using Time Capsule for movies Libary, Apple TV for streaming movies, but when i have MacBook Pro off, my iTunes Libary is off and i can't streamimg my movies directly)
It is possible streaming Movies on my Apple TV without opened iTunes on my Mac ? I mean if it is possible streaming directly from TC to Apple TV, when Libary it on TC.
Thank you for your answears.

Hi,
you can stream from the Time Capsule, but must always have a player in the middle, either an iOS device or a mac compatible with video airplay.
If you want to use an iOS device, you can get the app FileBrowser. This allows your device to stream videos from the timecapsule, play them, and play on the AppleTV.
As erfurtivo said, O!play works perfectly with the TimeCapsule, if you don't want more devices in-between.
Hope this helped

LOST BOOKMARKS - How can I restore from Time Capsule b/u

I programmed an iPhone and it kept merging my bookmarks on the phone so I deleted them and thin I found it took then out of my Macbook Pro laptop also. I had an extensive list of all organized book marks I didnt really want to give up.
I have a time capsule and it is working. When I went to restore them it told me that safari can not be modified because it is required, So I must be doing something wrong.
Actually I have never restored anything from the backups since I have had the thing running. So I am not familar with the perations of the device.
PLEASE, HELP ! ! ! ! !
Need steps on how to bring back bookmarks to safari.
Thanks

Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

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.

Airport Express streaming iTunes from Time Capsule

This may seem redundant to other topics, however I have tried the solutions listed without relief. I bought and installed a Time Capsule. My internet connection comes into it and my iMac accesses it wirelessly. I have an Airport Express which I want in the living room to stream music.
I have hard reset to the default settings on the AE. My TC is set for "extend a network" and my iTunes is set-up to look for remote speakers. When I use Airport Express to set the AE to access the TC network, I get the confirmation that the AE has been reconfigured and that I can wait for the AE to restart. The Airport Express dialog box never gets past that point, leaving me looking at a spinning status wheel.
From the default settings, my Airport Utility can see both devices, but clicking on the AE dismounts the TC and vice versa. The status bar on the Airport toolbar sees my TC network and not the AE, which I assume would be normal if the AE joined the TC network. Everything up and running, my iTunes cannot see the AE and I do not get the remote speaker dialog box in iTunes.
It seems to me there should be a simple process to walk through such a generic situation. What am I missing?

If your goal for the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is just for streaming iTunes, then you want to configure it to "join" the TC's wireless network ... not to extend it. So enabling "extend a network" on the TC would not be necessary.
To configure the AX to join the TC's wireless network and for AirTunes, please compare the following settings to those currently enabled on the AX:
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing TC's wireless Network Name>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

How do I print from time capsule

I plugged my printer into the usb port on my time capsule... now what?

Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print and Fax
Click the + (plus button at the bottom of the printer list)
Does the name of your printer appear in the next box?
If yes....click the printer name to highlight it and then click Add at the lower right of the window
Try to print. Be sure to select the "correct" printer since you likely have it installed twice in two locations at this point...at your computer...and at the Time Capsule. You must choose the correct location in the print dialog window.
Note....if you have an All-in-One type of device, only the print function is supported at the Time Capsule location. If you need to copy, scan, fax, or perform maintenance checks, you will need to connect the device directly to your computer and restart the device.
If no.....your printer software has not been installed. Contact the printer manufacturer to download the latest printer drivers for your device. If still no luck.....not all printers are compatible, so that may be the case here.

Can you watch videos/listen to music from Tim Capsule through appletv?

Would like to use Time Capsule to save movies and play them back through my appletv. Can anyone let me know if this is possible? Thanks.

On a standard ATV no, you cannot easily do it because of the link to itunes.. that means itunes has to have its main library on the TC and that is playing with fire.. The TC has no backup and no ability to stream.. it has no media servers. If you have a JB ATV (so not the newest one) and it can find and play files, yes, it would be possible. But again, as a storage location, you need to understand a failed TC is a locked up device.. where Apple will not recover your files, and so you will need to do manual backups to another drive anyway.
