Can i install the time capsule fixed on the wall, using it stretched?

Not sure what you mean by "stretched", but the Time Capsule can certainly be wall mounted. Apple sells the wall mounting brackets:

Can i connect my time capsule to my hdtv for use as an extra display for my mac book pro?

I want to use my hdtv as a display wirelessly. Can one connect their time capsule to the tv?

1. Can my TC handle "dual band" wifi or not? As it's 3 years old, I'm not sure the spec is sufficient.
They have been dual band since gen2.. yours is gen4 or at worst gen3.
2. Is the TC likely to provide better performance than the BT Home Hub router, as the Apple store suggest?
Impossible to say.. but easy to test.. simply plug the TC into the BT router in bridge mode and use it with setup to create a wireless network.. that is the way I would suggest anyway.
3. Will the BT wifi extender still work if the TC is the main router? BT aren't sure, hence asking here. "Trial and error" will take hours and because of the wifi issues in my house, can be frustrating.
Sorry this is out of my perview.. I can suggest it will be poor.. apple do not use standard settings for extend wireless.. and if it is universal repeater they also behave poorly.. Have you thought of using EOP adapters.. very popular in the UK and tend to work much better than wireless.
4. Would the BT wifi extender communciate with the TC or the BT Home Hub router?
As suggested above.. leave the BT as the main router and plug the TC bridged into it.. you can then use both..
simply set the wireless names different and keep the channels apart.
For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels.. 1, 6, 11 or 13 as alternative in UK.
For 5ghz there are lots more but the lower channels work better.. so 36-48 depending on regs in the UK.

HT1178 Can't access my time capsule

When I click on the time capsule icon, it opens a window similar to founder, but closes by itself after 20sec. What can I do to fix it?

Reset the TC to factory and start over.. plug the TC into the computer by ethernet as well as keeping wireless active.
You can even do it in full isolation from the network.. ensure ipv6 is turned on to link-local in both the ethernet and the wireless network preferences on the computer.. this is important.. the utility now requires ipv6 to work.
You must also be using the latest utility available.. so make sure you are up to date.

Can I format my time capsule 2TB to ntfs to use it on a PC and mac as an online HHD?

Hi, I wave a 2TB Time Capsule and a net of 4 macs and 1 PC I need to use the Time Capsule as an online HHD but it is on fat 32 format, its any way to re format the disc to ntfs to can save files larger than 4GB? and still use the Time Machine functions
Thanks.

The TC will already save windows files.. AFP format should accept files larger than 4GB now. As a network drive the format on the TC is irrelevant.. it offers SMB to the network and that is all that matters.

TS3540 Had my Hard Drive installed by someone else but when the "Do u already have a Mac?" popped up they said no. is there a way to go back so I can restore frome my time capsule?

If you type in finder search "Migration Assistant" you should be able to restore from TimeMachine backup.

Can't connect to Time Capsule. Error: Could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53).

I have a Time Capsule that I've been using for a while now. I've got a Windows 8 PC and a few MacBooks that I use with it.
Recently, I had to hard-reset my Windows 8 PC (with the reset button while everything was locked up). When it came back, I couldn't connect to my Time Capsule anymore. I get the error message: "Could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53)."
I've tried:
Checking on the NetBIOS service to ensure that it's running
Explicitly enabling NetBIOS on the Internet connection
Renaming my Time Capusle to have no spaces or disallowed characters
Pinging both the Time Capsule's name and IP address (both respond)
Any suggestions?

Do you have bonjour installed? If not I recommend you install the full apple airport utilities for windows.. although only win7 is available.. it does install in win8. Apple btw need to do some work on making windows access current.
In windows explorer, simply type the address to the TC in the address bar.
\\TCname or \\TCipaddress
If it fails.. turn off firewall and ensure the PC is located at home..as opposed to work or public. A windows PC can go stupid and think it is suddenly in a new environment for no apparent reason. Your reset might do exactly such a thing.
If you still have issues.. are you getting full internet access ok?
Can you open the airport utility in windows and find the TC? If so go to the file sharing page and turn on the guest account to read and write access. This helps loads.. and make sure the workgroup is set to WORKGROUP.

I installed a new router from my ISP provider and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

I installed a new (and supposedly better & stronger) router from my ISP provider (Verizon) and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network.
My Mac is not backing up because it can't find my Time Capsule network & my "Guest" network has also disappeared.
What do I need to do to correct this problem?

You must reset the TC to factory and start over. The TC simply remembers too much from the previous setup to work in the new one.
If your new router is going to take the router role, then the TC will have to be bridged and you will lose your Guest wireless.. the way around this is to use the Verizon router as your guest wireless and the TC as your main wireless.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC 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.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

New Mavericks install. Can't access old time capsule :(

I've been running Mountain Lion since January 2013 and have had my Time Capsule / Time Machine set up since.
I just reformatted my computer's drive to install Mavericks and I forgot to backup my iTunes Library.
I did NOT unplug timecapsule during the whole reformat / Mavericks install process.
In Mavericks, I enabmed Time Capsule and found that I have 2.75TB free of 3TB and that the oldest backup is Jan 2013.
Has my time capsule drive been formatted? my iTunes library alone is probably 50GB.
Is there a way I can access my old Time Capsule backups so that I can restore my iTunes Libarary??

Not looking good.. if there is 2.75TB free hardly any of the TC has been used.. it is unlikely the format changed anything.
Attempt a migration of the itunes..
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
We don't have details of Maverick of course but it should be very similar to Lion or ML.
Other than that then I have to say your chances are slim..
If you are sure the iTunes was backed up and you checked the disk usage before you reformatted the computer and know it was using at least as much space as the hdd in the computer then you could pull the hard disk from the TC and use a software like data rescue 3 to see if there files were deleted..
Did you allow a new TM backup to start.. that could wipe out the original backup?
Other than that.. recovery on the disk is not possible if you reformatted instead of upgrade installed.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I install a time capsule and I have to solve the last thing bsGN and it asks me for "a value for bsGN is required", I have no idea what it means. Somebody who knows what to do here? Thank you.

H E L P !
I am installing a time capsule and I have to solve a last problem, bsGN and the system asks for "a value for bsGN is required", I have no idea what that means. Can anybody help me please? Thank you.

There is no value bsGN in a Time Capsule.
Where is this request coming from?
Please give a screenshot.
Who is the ISP? What kind of modem is it?
I can find no info relevant to bsGN .. you will need to give us specifics or ring your ISP about it.
Is bsGN even English?? Is it the ISP name??

Can I connect my Time Capsule wired to the computer and just use it as a back up

Can I connect my Time Capsule to my computer (wired) and just use it as a back up and not as a wireless router?

Yes, you simply bridge the TC..
Just google for it as we have posted the instructions endlessly.
The one trick that might be necessary is to ensure the TC is on a different IP range to the main broadband connection.
And make sure the gateway and dns do not cause issues.. so it is generally better to set static ip on the TC and the computer.
None of it is hard so ask for specific instructions if you get to the point.

I have reached full memory capacity on my 500GB Time Capsule. I am considering purchasing a 2TB Time Capsule. Do I need to resave all existing data on the new hard drive or can I start afresh? Or can I link both time capsules to operate independantly?

Hi,
I have reached full memory capacity on my 500GB Time Capsule. I am considering purchasing a 2TB Time Capsule.
a) Do I need to resave all existing data on the new hard drive or can I start afresh?
b) Or can I link both time capsules to operate independantly?
Thanks,

You may not need to buy a new Time Capsule.
You can connect a USB drive to the Time Capsule, and use it in addition to the TC's internal HD. You may need a powered USB hub as well.
Exactly what is on your TC? If it's only Time Machine backups, you may not need to do anything -- Time Machine will delete the oldest backup(s) automatically when it needs room for new ones. But if you have more than about 250 GB on your internal HD, that 500 GB may not be large enough to keep backups long enough.
If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, besides your backups, you could back up to the external HD and use the internal for the other data, or vice-versa. But TM backups cannot "span" two drives, and you shouldn't mix backups and other data on the TC's internal HD.

Lion comes with FaceTime. Look in your dock or in the Applications folder.

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up.

Can't reset my time capsule using reset button and I don't have the password to get into reset it.

I can't reset my time capsule b/c the reset button broke off when my time capsule fell off my shelf. I can't remember the password to the disk or time capsule to do a manual reset and I can't access the time capsule. Any suggestions around this?
Thanks.

Bob's suggestion is the best, as the old passwords should be stored on that computer.
If you need to do it .. the hard way.. just open the TC.
You need a heat gun (hair dryer on hottest setting works fine).. to heat the rubber mat up to very hot.. I usually take 5min or more just heating it, evenly as possible. Lift on one corner and keep heating whilst peeling off the rubber. I use a pair of leather garden gloves as it needs to be so hot you cannot hold it for long.
Really hot the rubber easily peels off with all the glue on the rubber.
Now undo the 10 small philips head screws and carefully lift up the aluminium base plate. There is a fan plugged into the board so don't pull. You can disconnect the plug carefully and lift it completely off.
You can then press the reset switch with a small screwdriver or the like.. careful not to short anything if you use metal.
The plastic lever should still be rolling around inside the TC.. when I look carefully at the plastic, the lever is inserted later.. not part of the one moulding.. there are two plastic stakes, which are heated and bent down like a rivet to hold the lever in place. You may be able to relocated the lever onto the plastic stakes with some glue.. use a good 5min epoxy rather than instant glue.. although on ABS plastic the instant glue works very well. Use the glue under and on top but a tiny amount, otherwise you will simply glue the lever to the body and it will never work again. You might be able to make it stay.. just be very gentle if you ever need to press it again.
You can try a more permanent repair.
Plastic flexing as hinges is not an engineering solution .. but you can get a scrap of metal, thin brass would be ideal... drill a hole in one end and use a small dia screw.. I would tap it and run a screw from the inside, using a short screw so only the end of the screw is visible. Coat the inside with silastic so it cannot short anything. Depends on your handyman type skills I guess.
Strange that it would break.. Must have hit hard!!

Just bought a Macbook Pro. I want a clean install so won't use a Time Machine backup but how can I install the software I bought from Apple Store? can I just delete it from the old machine that is going to someone else?

The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.
