HT3486 Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my lan?

Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?

Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method.

Yes. It'll be treated as a network drive.

I think those files are Samsung's proprietary format, so only the Samsung software can open and display them. If they do not make their software for OS X, then you are stuck requiring windows.
I thought the DVR itself lets you save as standard avi as the backup file format?

Can I move iCloud Drive folder to my Time Capsule?

Can I move iCloud Drive folder to my Time Capsule?
I have 250Gb storage on my Macbook, but plan to by the 500Gb storage plan from Apple. To do that I'd need to used the iCloud Drive folder on an larger external hard drive, instead of my own Macbook...
Does anyone knows if that can be done?
I also use Drop Box and it's local drive can be 'move' to an external HD easily...
Tks!

The iCloud Drive folder is is stored in your user library, in the folder ~/Library/Mobile Documents
If you want to move this folder to an external drive, you would have to relocate your home folder there. Moving the home folder is supported, but not moving parts of the user library.
But that would not be practical on a portable Mac to move the home folder to an external drive, because you could not log in without connecting the external drive.

How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

I mean I saved JPEG file in Time capsule and unfortunately delete the file. Can I get it back
IF.... .no other backups have occured since you deleted the file, you might be able to retrieve it using an application like Disk Warrior. It's about $100 as I recall, and there are no guarantees that it will work.
DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory ...
Any of the free or low priced utilities that you might see or try will not be able to retrieve a deleted file from a Time Capsule.
If any backups have occured since you deleted the file, the deleted file has almost certainly been overwritten. No way to retrieve it in that case.

I can't change the name or erase my Time Capsule. (new one)

I have a brand new TC and I wish to change the name of the drive (remove the space) and erase it. I've launched the Airport Utility, gone to EDIT-DISKS....and I have no options for what I need. There's no erase button. I can't click on the drive and rename it. I am terribly baffled. I'm connecting to it via its wifi from my MBP.

By default the disk share in the TC is named data
You must have changed it for it to have a space in it..
Jump down to the last screenshot for how to change just the name of the disk.. you need to uncheck the enable file sharing.
But if that doesn't work, follow the whole process from the top.. factory reset etc.
Do a full factory reset of the TC..
Do it this way.
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. without releasing reset keep holding it 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/AE 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.
In the MBP make sure your wireless is set to ipv6 for link-local. This is important.
Now open the airport utility again.
The TC will list as unconfigured wifi device, and you can run through the configuration or you can manually do it..
Just select configure other from the main menu.
Then punch in the IP address which will show up as router in the wifi in the computer.
After a reset it will be default anyway so just type in 10.0.1.1 No password
Now you will get the manual setup screen and you can do the setup over again and change the disk name.
For Mavericks I recommend you use all short names with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
To change the name of the disk uncheck the file sharing.. otherwise the name cannot be changed.
Once you change the name you can re-enable the file sharing.

How can I test the usb port on my Time Capsule to see if it is working?

Ever since lightening struck nearby (which took out our internet and copy machine) the printer I had connected to the usb port on my Time Capsule in my office has has failed to print through the TC. I can plug the printer directly into my MacBookAir and can print just fine. So there is nothing wrong with the printer nor the usb cable.
I've turned off and unplugged the printer with the usb cable connected & disconnected to the TC, no change. I've unplugged the TC, no change. I've opened the printer utility several times, and always get the "offline" error. I open the print queue, and it says the printer is not connected. I reinstalled the driver for the printer, still the same thing.
I'm starting to wonder if the usb port on my Time Capsule got fried. Any help anyone can give in trying to see if the usb port even functions anymore would be greatly appreciated.
My Time Capsule is model no. A1409.

Power is not likely to be killed .. it is the data components that are more fragile.
So you do have power which as you say is why the USB flashes.. but you don't have signal.
The only other thing you can do is use USB powered hub.. if you have one handy.. but I would not go out and buy one.
A damaged board is impossible (at cost less than replacement TC) to repair. And repairers do not like working on stuff damaged by lightning as components that did survive were stressed.. the transistor junctions become liable to fail at any time.. so you repair it and it just keeps coming back as not working. Sorry if you cannot use it without USB junk it and buy a replacement. A second hand Gen3 is about the best of them it seems.
You can also buy an ethernet to USB print server.. but a new ethernet or wireless network printer is probably near to the same price.
You can hunt ebay for second hand USB print servers.. or airport express, extreme or TC.. often you can find something suitable for just a few dollars if you shop well. Since you don't need the latest greatest to do this sort of job.. and people are disposing of things like USB print servers as soon as they buy network printers.

Can I change the File name of pics when capturing with iPhoto?

Hi, I am a new user of Macbook and Mac OS, so, maybe this is a stupid issue.
I have a sony cybershot and I was wondering if when I capture my pics from the camera with iPhoto I could change the name of the picture file?....or the filename will always be the one of the camera (f.e: DSCXXXXX) or I will have to change the name manually using Finder.
I ask this because when I used to connect my camera into my old pc, windows activated the camera wizard and I could name all the pictures filename as the same and the wizard just capture them to my HD with that name just adding numbers (f.e: I named Miami trip, and the wizard named all of them Miami Trip 001, Miami Trip 002, and so on)
Thank you

You'll need to rename the files before importing them. So. move the files from the camera to a folder on the desktop (either by drag and drop or using Image Capture) and then use a file renaming utility such as FileList to rename the files. Then continue your import. (iPhoto -> File -> Import to Library)
The reason for this is because Filenames are irrelevant in iPhoto. You can add titles to the Photos, and, on export, use those titles as Filenames (check the possibilities in the File -> Export dialogue). You can also Batch Title photos using the Photos -> Batch Change command. This is what I do - on Import I name the Event (Italy 07) then when the pics are in use the Batch Change command to title the pics.
Are you doing this to make your pics easier to find? There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

Why can't I copy files from Finder to Time Capsule?

I'm trying to do basic copy functions from Finder to Time Capsule and I can't copy/paste or drag/drop any files from my MacBook to TC. The paste function is greyed out. TC is connected and does backups fine from Time Machine. Is there some setting I need to change?

You are trying to add a folder into the network...
You have to click on "shared" in HD then the name of time capsule and a window will open with a folder called "Time Capsule." That window is the network, not the time capsule. You have to click on the "Time Capsule" folder to enter it. You will see a file ending in "arsebundle," that is your backup. You can now add another folder.

How can I use the free space of my Time Capsule as wireless HD ?

Hi,
Just set up a 2T Time Capsule and use it as Time Machine for my IMac and my MacBook.
How can I use the 1 Tb free space to ave data available from all my devices ?
Tks

Although it seems like you have a lot of extra space, Time Machine keeps versions, and if you want to take full advantage of the version history you should not worry about "extra space" because it will get used to provide safer coverage for the two Macs. If you had a Time Machine disk that fit your two Macs' hard drives perfectly, you would have no room for the version history, only room for the one most recent copy of each file. This can be a problem if you discover corruption that happened a while ago and cannot go back far enough in time to find an uncorrupted file.
Therefore it's better to not try and use up the "extra space" and let it be used for a longer, safer version history for your backups.
But like you, I want to use my Time Machine for additional network storage. So I plugged a cheap, compact hard drive into the Time Capsule USB port, and that shows up in File Sharing too. There is no need to buy anything fancier since it will be limited by both network speed and USB 2.0 anyway.

Can iTunes Match download files from a crashed time capsule retroactively

Ok, so I'm a devoted itunes / apple user. I had my time capsule for 2+ years with no issue, but it recently died and I had to get a new one. Unfortunately, I had my iTunes library pull from the time capsule instead of my laptop hard drive and now a lot of my music is lost. I can get anything that I had originally purchased via iTunes with iCloud download, but anything burned / ripped to the library is lost.
The track names, album names, etc. are still listed in itunes when I open it, but it cannot access the folder to pull the audio. My question, is there a way to access these files since they are in my library without having to hunt all of these down and ripping them again? If I were to purchase iTunes Match, would it download these files so that I could have them without doing the hunting and ripping?

Hi,
No.
If you have no back up you will need to re-rip them. You cannot use match to retrieve music that is not on your computer or external hard drive.
Match can only scan the music that is in your library.

HELP!!! Can't retrieve my Home folder on my Time Capsule

What a weekend...Firstly got a good dose of the flu and then my MBP Crashed into oblivion!! I hope it didnt catch something from me!
Anyway I did a rebuild on Saturday night and on Sunday morning I decided to go to my Time Capsule that has always made me feel reassured to know I'm All backed up when I noticed there is no home folder with my personal settings and documents in the user folder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am stuffed I cant get my emails (entourage), documents etc etc... Now given I am new to OSX but however not stupid, is there a way I can get back my data???
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

Have you set a specific folder? - Normally it's your desktop.
For example: /Users/name/Desktop/D.Loads (default ends @ Desktop)
I set a specific folder on the desktop.
You can use your browser to find the path.
In FFox. > prefs. its under "Main".
@ save files to __________________ ( choose)
Most other browsers its usually in a equivalent location, general or main.
Hope that helps, ::tonyd::

Can I plug the hard drive from my Time Capsule into my PC?

My laptop's hard drive recently died and the chance of being able to recover any data from it is pretty slim. To make matters worse, i've been meaning to buy a new Time Capsule for a while as mine is no longer functioning correctly (won't let me connect even with a solid green light).
I'm hoping that's the fault of the rest of the Time Capsule, and not the hard drive and its contents. So, would it be possible to plug the Time Capsule's hard drive into my Windows PC and somehow recover the data from there?
Thanks!

The only files you can recover are ones you put there.. so the only way and the only person who knows the answer is you.. where did you put the files?
Did you put them in a new folder under the share, data.. then that is where they will be.
If you put them inside the sparsebundle.. you are dead. But if you created a new directory inside the sparsebundle you might still get access to it.. there is only one way to find out.. have a go.. !!
BTW if you did this, that is why you have issues.. putting files inside a sparsebundle will destroy it. Not a great idea. But it is allowed.
Who can know these things.. YOU.. and YOU ALONE.
You might find it cheaper in your case to repair the TC..
If it is Gen 1 or 2, type "Time Capsule Power Supply" into ebay.. without the ""
There are some there to help you fix it.
Or a repairer could help.

It is much easier to get your files back from a working TC.

Can I have multiple files on a single time capsule?

On a time capsule, can partition different backups for different files, i.e. different computers.

As Neil says, you can easily back up multiple Macs to the same Time Capsule, as long as it's large enough (see #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). Each Mac's backups will be in a separate sparse bundle.
If, as in your other post, any of those other computers are PCs, or even Macs using some other backup app, it gets complicated and messy, because of the way Time Machine backups will use all the space available, and the fact that, as Neil says, you cannot partition the internal HD.
Your best bet in that case would be to attach a USB hard drive to the Time Capsule; you can partition it if necessary. Back-up one or more Macs to the TC's internal HD or USB drive; and the PC(s) to one or more separate partitions on the USB drive.
See the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
As noted in #Q3 there, there is a rather cumbersome way to reserve space on the TC's internal HD for things like the PC backups by putting a +disk image+ on it, but connecting a USB drive will be much easier.

Can I activate the ethernet ports (routing) of Time Capsule "joining" an existing non-Apple wireless network ?

Hello,
I have a DSL modem that is also a WIFI router as my main WIFI network from room A. In room B, I have a TC wirelessly joining the existing WIFI network (not creating a new one). That works fine, I have one SSID, and I can wirelessly access the TC disks and backup my Mac on my TC.
Now, I would like to connect a wired device (with on WIFI) to the ethernet port of my TC. Unfortunately, the ethernet ports of the TC don't seem to be "activated" as they do not have internet on them.
More precisely, I'd like to connect a GE Cordless Skype Phone Model# 31591 (http://www.gephones.com/products/skype/dect-6-0-expandable-digital-cordless-phon e-with-skypetm.html) that connects to a router via Ethernet. I'm aware that I could simply connect it to the DLS router, but that's not what I want... Is there any way to activate the ethernet ports of the TC while in "join" mode ? Or do I really have to buy a Airport Express to create my main network and then extend it ?!?

Thanks, the reason why I asked again, is because you told me to start another thread with the specifics of the device I want to connect, so I did
Not a big deal, and it is easy to become confused.....but to be clear about this
Your question.....
is there a way I can connect my Bluray player to the TC ?
My Answer.....
Please start a new post for that. Tell us the make and model number of the player and whether you plan to connect using wireless or Ethernet.
so I tried to creat the main WIFI network with a first-generation Airport Express M9470LL/A (802.11b/g, no "draft N" or "n" support) and the TC wouldn't extend it either, is it too old/not supported
Unfortunately, the "extend" setup will only work with "n" devices. The older Express does not have a setting to "Allow this network to be extended", so the Time Capsule cannot pick up the signal.
I'm not sure what else to suggest other than what I already have. I'm assuming that you do not want to buy another new Airport Express.
