How to Sync iPhone/iPad with Time Capsule (wirelessly)

Hi - I am wondering if there is way to sync my iPhone or iDevices with Time Capsule wirelessly. Please let me know if there is and how?
Thanks in advance..

The iOS devices....iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc.....sync to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud.

It is not possible to sync iOS devices directly to the Time Capsule.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking here. You can use the TC for your itunes media instead of locally on your PC, you will still need to run itunes on your PC though to sync any of the content to the apple tv.

I don't see why not.
Is it possible to back up my iTuens library on my Time Capsule ?
Yes, but if you intend keeping the original content on the TC (as per Q1), I'm not so sure it would be a good idea, most people seem to lose content through drive failures rather than deleting by mistake, a drive failure would wipe out the original media and the back up at the same time.

How do sync my iPad with another computer?

How do I sync my iPad with my new computer? I have imported all my songs, books, apps, etc. but did not do it by dragging over the old iTunes folder because the file structure is different and I did not want to mess up the new file structure with the old one. Now how do I get my new computer to become the "one" that my iPad syncs with?

Have you ever synced with this computer before? If you did, have you synced with another computer since then?

Syncing iPhone & iPad with new laptop after old one crashed.

How can I do to sinc my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s with Time Capsule? i need to transfered informatioon between bouth ip and time capsule.

I have got and iPad 2 and iPhone 4s and I need to do a back up of docs, music and photos between Ipad and iphone an Time Capsule.

You backup iOS devices to iTunes.. the iTunes then keeps the files and they are backed up via TM.
To copy the files, you need to download a file app.. just look up file app, and that will allow you to copy files to and from the TC.. you cannot sync to the TC. There is no TM type app for iOS.. and in fact the file apps do not use AFP at all.

How do I use my iPad with time capsule

I would like to download and upload from my iPad to my new timecapsule?
However, I can only access the wireless and settings by using the airport utility...
Please help

You might want to take a look at an App like FileBrowser for the iPad to do what you want with the Time Capsule.

How come I can't see my ipad with time capsule?

When on my macbook pro and having the time capsule, i don't have visibility to my ipad on my mac? Why?!?!

What visibility are you wanting??
If the ipad has internet via the TC, then it should be able to backup to itunes in the computer.. otherwise the computer will not really see the ipad at all.. it is not a network share.
The file structure of the ipad is deliberately hidden.. and therefore it does not see files on a TC or computer.
You can load a filebrowser app into the ipad.. but that will still not enable the computer to see the ipad.. it is still not a network resource.. AFAIK.. I don't have ipad.. so check what you are trying to do with the more like this on the right.. or in the ipad section.

Can i sync iphone pics to time capsule?

Can I Sync "automatiacally" my iPhone pice to my newest version of the time capsule?

Let's try a different tack. Try and see if you can get the Mac to go into Target Disk Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 ) by holding down the T key prior to the startup chime. If a Firewire icon pops up on the screen, you're all set. Turn the Mac off and abstain from using it if possible. While the new MBP arrives, go and purchase an appropriate Firewire cable. If the dying MBP has a Firewire 800 port, by all means get an FW800 to FW800 cable as this is the fastest option. Else get a FW400 to FW800 converter cable. When it arrives, plug the two Macs together with the cable, start up the old one in Target Disk Mode, then start up the new one.
Setup Assistant will kick in automatically in this first start. After a few questions, it will offer to migrate from a previous Mac ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889 ). Choose yes and select the target disk option. This will pull all your stuff from the dying Mac: files, settings and apps. Note that Lion doesn't do PPC apps anymore, so those legacy apps will be crossed out.

HT202213 how to sync an ipad with two libraries

How do I share my itunes library between 2 devices? Dragging the music over to the device isn't doing the trick...

Not quite sure this is what you are after, if not you'll need to explain further.
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

How to sync iPhone 3G with MacBook (previously syncing with Windows)

Hi, I just bought a my first Mac ever, it the brand new MacBook 13" and so far I'm loving the whole Mac experience. I have a question though. I have an iPhone 3G and until now I sync it with my other Win machine. Everything is ok there. However, I'm now thinking to start using the iPhone with my MacBook but I don't know how to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing the info I have in the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the apps, music or videos because I know to transfer that kind of info to another machine (i did it already with my iPod touch and the iPod classic and everything went fien, I didn't lose any data in the process). However, with the iPhone I don't want to lose the contacts and the saved SMSs. Can anyone tell me how to sync the iPhone to my Mac easily without losing anything? btw, I have no songs in the iPhone, just one free app (midomi). I heard that I can automatically get the app in any other computer as long as I use the same iTunes account so the server remembers that I "bought" it.

thxs Scott, that is actually what I thought that would happen but I wasn't sure. I will give it a try later. Btw, when you say: "make sure to backup the info", do I need to do a backup manually or, is it ok if I just connect the iPhone to the old machine so iTunes can make the automatic backup?
cheers.
Nah, just sync it with the Windows machine before you begin. Odds on you won't need it, but if you do, then at least it is there.

How to sync iPhone, iPad,ipod

I am trying to sync my ipad,iphone,ipod & imac with the same user account (apple id) but the ipad refuses to play, any suggestions please?

As 90MacUser22 explained:
"When you plug in your iPad (to your iMac), go through each tab slowly. Under apps, hit sync apps(check), and select what apps you want to sync. Do this for the rest of the tabs. If its not checked it won't sync. Then when your done hit sync. On your iPhone and iPod go into settings, store, and make sure automatic downloads are on. When you download an app, it will also download on the other device."

How to make PPPoE work with Time Capsule?

I'm trying to connect a Time Capsule to an ADSL broadband connection using a Thompson Speedtouch 510v6 modem in bridged mode.
After selecting PPPoE, setting the userid and password in the Time Capsule and restarting, the Time Capsule shows a yellow light and says that it cannot find a PPPoE server.
If I connect the modem directly to my Mac, I am able to successfully establish the PPPoE connection, so I know that the modem, ADSL link, userid and password work. The Time Capsule also works fine if it is configured to use an IP connection to a router, as opposed to a PPPoE connection to a bridge.
Any hints about what the problem may be? I have no idea how to even begin debugging this.
A related question: Is there a way to get IP connectivity to the bridge device when it is connected to the Time Capsule in PPPoE mode? You would think that in PPPoE mode, the Time Capsule should treat the WAN port as just another hub port for the purpose of IP connectivity, but that does not seem to happen. With IP connectivity I could check the status of the bridge from any computer connected to the Time Capsule, which could possibly help me diagnose the problem.

There should only be one device setup to provide the PPPoE service for your network. If you have the Time Capsule setup to do this, you must make sure that your computer is no longer trying to do the same thing at the same time. In other words,,you need to delete or at least make the PPPoE connection not active on your computer.
If you are using Leopard or Snow Leopard on your computer, click the System Preferences icon and then click Network. Look for a PPPoE connection that displays your user name and password. Makes sure that this is not active. You would only want the PPPoE connection on your computer active when your computer is connected directly to the modem. If the Time Capsule is connected to the modem, you must turn off PPPoE on your computer.
Then power off your network. Start the modem first, then the Time Capsule and then your computers.

How to Sync iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (64-bit)

I used to sync my iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (32-bit) with no problems at all. I have changed ove to the 64-bit Outlook for reasons I do not need to mention here. I am now unable to set up to sync with Calendars, Notes and Tasks.
When I setup to sync using iCloud Contro panel, the setup runsa dn advises that it HAS been set up innOutlook. But in Outlook, there is no relevant tab or folder (as was the case in Outlook 2013 32-bit).
The Outlook for iCloud add-in is present in Outlook and there are no error messages.
I believe( from a Microsoft forum) that this may be because Microsoft moved the registry location of Outlook's mail profiles for Outlook 2013. They used to be under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Windows Messaging Subsystem/Profiles but now they're under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/15.0/Outlook/Profiles. Apparently this is to provide the ability to have multiple versions of Outlook installed. I suspect that the iCloud provider does not take this into consideration yet and that Apple will have to address it.
Am I correct? or is there a way to get the sync to work?

Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud. I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should. Weird!!
Thanks for your assistance.

How to sync iPhone 5s with iTunes without getting error Msg: "com.apple.MediaLibraryService quit unexpectedly"?

I had to restore Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and since the restoration, whenever I sync my iPhone 5s with iTunes, I get the error message "com.apple.MedialLibraryService quit unexpectedly". Any solutions?

Thanks for the link, Niel. I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together. It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.

Can I backup my iPad with Time Capsule

I have recently set up my new TC and need to know if it can be configured to automatically backup my iPad. I rarely use anything other than my iPad.

No. An iPad cannot backup to a TC. iTunes backs up the iPad. Time Machine will backup your iTunes folder and all other relevant folders to the TC.
