Can I connect 3TB Time Capsule to 27" iMac via USB?

Hi,
I have an Airport Time Capsule, 3TB which I use for Time Machine backups. Can I connect the Time Capsule using USB cable from the TC to my 27" iMac desktop Computer? Is that the most efficient way or is there a more efficient way? Please advise.
Thanks,
relaxed

Kappy,
Why is there a USB on the back of the 3TB Time Capsule? Just a question?

How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

My PC was stolen. How can I connect my Iphone on a new PC without loosing everything (music, contacts, pictures, appli ....)?

Hello everybody,
Unfortunitely, my pc was stolen. Now I want to connect my Iphone on the new one but I don't know how to do it without loosing all I have inside (music, contacts, sms, mms, pictures, aplli ...).
I have done a backup from my Iphone... and a backup of my PC HD just one day before so I hope you will have a solution for me !!
An other thing... I don't know very well Itunes ... I can say that I am a beginner !!
Thanks a lot for your help !!

There is no way to get pictures off the phone or to move them from folders to the camera roll. The format on the phone is proprietary, so even if you could get them off you couldn't use them. Having said that, search the Internet; there are some apps that can access some files on the iPhone without hacking it. There may be one that can get the photos off. The only other option is to email them to yourself. This will reduce the resolution, however.
I'm afraid you have pointed out the importance of frequent computer backups.

Trouble connecting existing iphone content to new imac

Hi Everyone,
Not exactly sure im posting this in the right section however i recently purchased the new i5 27" imac (previously had a stand ol PC) which i had itunes on and my iphone sync'd to. I can get my iphone to now sync with itunes on my mac however i cannot add/remove any applications or import my music from my iphone to my library on this imac...any ideas how i can do this?? I have searched the help topics but cant seem to find the answers.

Hi Tara. Start iTunes and connect your iPhone to the imac. Make sure your iPhone shows up under the Devices in the iTunes Side Bar. Go to iTunes store and sign into your iTunes account. If you haven't already done so, authorize your new computer by going to Store -> Authorize Computer. You are allowed to authorize up to 5 computers for your iTunes account. If you have reached the limit, you need to deauthorize another previous computer first before authorizing your new imac. Once done, go to File -> Transfer Purchases from Tara's iPhone. It will then transfer all your music and apps from your iPhone to your new imac.

I am having trouble connecting my iphone 4 to my imac via bluetooth.

I tried to pair my iPhone with my iMac but it didn't work. The Mac first says the connection is successful but the iPhone tells me it was not and forgets the iMac. Then I go into the Bluetooth menu on the iMac and there is a red dot next to the iPhone on the menu saying that it is not connected. Is there a specific way or order that this needs to be done in or software I need?

You can't connect your iPhone to your iMac via BT. Simple as that.

Trying to connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes v 11.1.4, I WAS UNABLE, I have been reseting my iphone, restart my computer, restart iTunes and nothing works.
I deleted iTunes and reinstalled it, even do, DOES NOT WORK.
In previous version of iTunes, sometimes I was able to connect, but now, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

Thanks.. This solve my problem...
Hy there,
I've solved the same problem and in order for you to do soo you have to follow these stept if your running windows:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes will pump up alown and youl see your iphone right there.
Good luck and sry for my bad righting.

Can I connect old Time Capsule to new iMac with Ethernet?

I recently purchased a new iMac, and I am trying to use a 2008 Time Capsule for back-up. I successfully used the Time Capsule for back-up with a MacBook for the last four years, but the iMac's Time Machine won't recognize the Time Capsule as a back-up device. I have the two devices directly connected with an Ethernet cable, and no longer use the Time Capsule for MacBook back-up. I have rebooted the iMac and Time Capsule multiple times, but the Time Capsule light still flashes amber. Help?

Press and hold the reset for 10sec.
Make sure the ethernet is set to auto and does actually get an IP address from the TC.
Turn off all other network connections.
Download and install 5.6 airport utility if you are still on Lion.. it will give you far more useful info and actual tools not toys like the Lion version.

My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

I am also having the same issue. Please help!
