HT1218 Time Capsule for Window 7

I do not see my windows files backuped in my time capsule. I see my Mac files backups allright, but windows's file nothing

Unless you dragged them there yourself or used a third-party product capable of backing up to network drives, they won't be there. There is no Time Machine for Windows, and the Mac OS X version of Time Machine won't back up a Windows drive or partition.

  • Time capsule for window pc

  • Using Printer via Time Capsule for Windows

    Hi,
    Could you please guide me how can I use printer connect to my time capsule from windows based PC. I can do it from my mac but unable to print it from Windows PC.
    I have also downloaded Bonjour, it detects my HP printer 1018 but when it comes to driver it is not able to locate also tried so many different option for the driver but unfortuntely no luck so somebody please guide me to print (HP Laserjet 1018 printer) from windows connected via Time Capsule 2TB.

    When you setup the printer choose a local printer.. then change the port to TCP/IP and type in the IP of the TC.
    Complete the setup.. and choose the 1018 HP printer drivers.
    That should be all there is to it.
    Download the airport utility for windows and see if the printer is there.
    Ensure you have the TC setup in WORKGROUP for file sharing.
    Make sure the computer is in home.. not work or public.
    Make sure you do not have homegroup activated.
    If that doesn't work turn off the firewall and try again.

  • Hard drive networked through Time Capsule for Windows and Mac

    My previous setup was using an old Dell laptop with Windows XP to network share both my Samsung laser printer and my Seagate GoFlex 2 tb drive formated to NTFS, and all Windows 7, Windows 8, and OS X 10.6+ machines in the house were successfully able to connect to both. My wife replaced her old Macbook Pro she got in 2008 and decided to get a Time Capsule as well to backup her iMac and new Macbook Air. I decided to take advantage of the "features" of the Time Capsule, and hubbed the single port, just as I had done with the old Dell. After installing Bonjour on the Windows 7 machines I was able to share the printer just fine, however I'm still unable to share the drive for some reason.
    The Airport utility on both the Macs and Win 7 machines see the hard drive in utilities, the box in Airport for file sharing is checked, guest access turned off, secure disk sharing with device password, and workgroup matches my workgroup. However the hard drive still doesn't appear. I tried formatting it to FAT32 based on some older forums posted in 2008-2009 range, but then realized the hard drive is too large for that, and I'm not looking to have a bunch of smaller partitions. I tried exFAT, but that failed too. Now I'm back to NTFS, but still with the issue that none of the machines recognize hard drive via the Explorer/Finder.
    The Time Capsule is functioning as a backup with Time Machine for her Mac's, but I'm looking to use the external drive connected more as a media center storage and storing selected individual files (think networked thumb drive/USB stick) from my machines.

    Put the seagate drive onto the Mac and format it Mac OS extended journaled. (HFS+ for short) and you will also need to change the partition over to GUID from MBR.
    TC has very limited formats it can recognise.. FAT32 and HFS+ (well FAT16 but that doesn't count). exfat no, ntfs no, Really with FAT32 being hopeless.. you have one choice .. HFS+.
    The Windows machines can handle files to the drive just fine.. because it is a network drive.. it is offered to the network as SMB protocol.. in windows it will look like NT server. The precise format of the drive is irrelevant and is handled by the firmware of the TC.
    But do reset the partition scheme to GUID.. not MBR.

    You can even put 2 or more partitions on it.. but only one is fine.

  • I want to download software for airport time capsule for windows

    please informe me how to install time machine application for windows 8.1 OS?

    Time Machine is an application that will only run on a Mac.
    If you might be asking about AirPort Utility, which is used to setup and configure a Time Capsule, we need to know which version of the Time Capsule that you have.
    Please check on the bottom of the Time Capsule to locate the model number.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • Can I hook up a windows computer to my airport time capsule for internet access?

    We have hooked up our time capsule for the first time today.  It works wonderful on our apple products BUT can I connect a windows based computer to it for internet access? 

    Yes. Both Ethernet and 802.11 are cross-platform.

  • Time Capsule With Windows 7 Please Help Going Round in Circles!

    Hi
    have just got a 1Tb time capsule for Xmas. I have a 13" Macbook unibody and have installed the time machine and airport utility through this, thinking apple computer + apple time capsule will be easier. All went well and the Macbook sees the Drive and has backed itself up nicely. So very pleased.
    Then the problem i have a windows 7 machine and went off and installed the airport utility on the machine. All went fine, but i cant see the HDD, i can see it in network places but all i can do is read it, i can't write to it from my windows machine. Have looked at loads of posts about mapping drives making sure latest firmware (7.5) etc but am totally lost as i read so many different things that i just ended up going round in circles!
    What i wanted to do was put all my media, documents and pics on the TC and allow both machines to share from it and use it. But no matter what i try it seems i can only write to it from the mac. I have seen in the airport utility on the windows machine under disks (after selecting manual setup)> file sharing that the secure shared disks is set to "with device password", now i have the passwords, i just cant seem to see where i can see that drive in windows and where to enter the password!!! Should that be set to something else? File sharing is enabled.I assumed once i had installed the airport utility on the windows machine the HDD would just pop up in my computer or something like it popped up easily on the mac! Or am i being stupid and it doesnt work like that?
    The windows machine is connected via ethernet and the mac is wireless.
    Please can someone help as its driving me mad and i just cant seem to figure it out. Am not that computer savvy when it comes to things like this and am probably missing something really stupid but you know what its like when you have stared at something for hours. Any help would be most appreciated or SIMPLE guide or something
    Many thanks in advance and happy Xmas to you all

    Just an update to the above i can now no longer see the time capsule in network places!! All i have done is retstarted!!! I can still see the time capsule from my mac and access it!!!

  • How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

    I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

    I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
    I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
    Thanks!

  • Time Capsule on Windows 8

    I just purchased a new PC with Windows 8 installed. I cannot see my Time Capsule when I use Airport. I use the Time Capsule for my internet access and wireless connection without any problem.

    I do not run win8.. I abandoned ship at vista.. for the obvious reasons.
    If you have internet access via the TC.. then you are network connected to it.
    The only things that can stop you accessing the hard disk.. or via the utility the TC itself is firewall. Turn off all the firewalls in the computer.. make sure it is setup in home area, not work or public.
    Open windows explorer or whatever they use now.. and directly connect to the TC.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing the generic name with actual name or IP).
    In the TC via a computer that does have access.. ie anything else but windows 8.. make sure you set the file sharing with guest account turned on to full read and write access. (in case you have a permissions issue).
    Make sure the workgroup is set correctly .. just WORKGROUP usually.

  • Firmware 7.4.1 Time Capsule and Windows

    Hi
    I know that firmware 7.4.1 has caused problems for people using Time Capsules with Windows PCs:
    http://theappleblog.com/2009/03/06/a...ate-available/
    I know that this problem affects the original TCs as I actually have an original TC and I had the problem with firmware 7.4.1 (fixed by downgrading to 7.3.2).
    Does anyone know if the problem with 7.4.1 only affects the older TCs or does it affect the new updated TCs (released earlier this year) as well?
    I want to buy another TC, but not if it has the 7.4.1 problem and not if it can't be downgraded to 7.3.2.
    Thanks

    i have been using an AEB w/ an attached USB drive to backup wirelessly using Time Machine for several months. I've had no problems restoring several files wirelessly from the TM backup. No problems at all so far. I have a 2nd hard drive attached to the AEB which serves iTunes and movies wirelessly. No problems there either.
    The only issue is that accessing these drives is slow even when the mac is connected to the AEB via ethernet (the TC exhibits the same issue). If you aren't upset by that speed, or don't mind jacking the drive straight into you mac when you need to make big transfers, it's a perfectly livable system. I was certainly hoping that the new AEB and TC would feature upgraded server ability and loosen up that bottleneck but they apparently have not. c'est la vie
    As far as an official comment from apple is concerned, it's doubtful that you'll ever get that. And if you did get it, what good would it do? Do you think they'd pay you a huge settlement if they 'officially supported' this backup method and you wound up with a corrupted backup that caused data loss? It either works or it doesn't and personally I give more credence to the experience of other users and my own cautious trial than I do to any official statement Apple makes on the subject.

  • Time capsule in windows XP

    How do you set up the time capsule in windows XP as a network drive, I tried to map it using \\10.0.1.1\name but i cant see the drive

    Did you load bonjour for windows onto the PC.. ?? That helps alot.
    The full windows version of the airport utility includes bonjour I believe.
    Did you set the TC in the right workgroup.. on the disk file sharing page of the manual setup in airport utility?
    Did you turn on guest access with read and write permissions.
    Also just use the IP and see what resources are available.. if you misspell the name it will already fail. And use SMB compatible names.. ie short no spaces.. no apostrophe in particular.. as Apple setup loves to do.. pure alphanumeric.

  • Will time capsule bacukup windows partition?

    Will Time Capsule backup the whole disk to include any Windows software installed via Boot Camp?

    You may be able to use the WinClone app to back up the BootCamp partition.  I don't do Windoze, though, so there may be other apps as well.
    If you decide to do that, your best bet may be to limit the size of the TM backups, or create a disk image on the Time Capsule, to "reserve" enough space on it for the BootCamp backups, as mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's internal HD can cause conflicts.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
