  • What is the most reliable modem for my Apple Time Capsule.

    ooking at getting a new modem because my Router/Gateway (Arris DG960) is not translating my port forwarding from my Apple TC. I have done a lot research and the general consensus is that the best router is the Motorola SB6141. That being said over 75% of reviews that involved Apple TC's stated that they had a lot of trouble with it working with the TC. Most suggestions led me to the Zoom 5341J. It seams to have a much better success rate with Apple TC. Any other modems that I should consider? Anybody else own, experienced these routers? I am looking for a modem only, no modem/router.

    I thought the Motorola SB6141 was the best choice about 8 months ago when all the glowing test reports said it was best, and I had always had good results from their products in the past. So, it might be the best.
    But, I tried 3 different SB6141s over the first week and none would hold an Internet connection more than 3-4 hours.  Might have been a bad run....it happens.....but 3 trips to the store was enough, and Time Warner support said they had been getting reports of problems at the time with a firmware mixup on the Motorola, so I decided to toss a coin and try to get some work done.
    I had no idea what to try next, but my wife was with me when I went out modem hunting.....and she liked the appearance of the Netgear CMD31T because she thought that it matched the AirPort Extreme nicely. Reason enough. It was "best" in her mind.
    So, we tried a Netgear. Operation has been flawless since we plugged it in. Not one single drop that I know of in 8 months.....not counting a power outage during an ice storm.
    The last time that I posted on a similar question to say that I had had good luck with the Netgear, it was only a few hours before another user trashed it, saying that the Motorola was the better product by far. And it might be. But, stuff like that is normal for the forums.
    The Netgear might explode tomorrow, but I would probably try another if it did.
    I have no idea what your results might be with any modem that you choose.

  • What is the best way to set up my time capsule with Existing Uverse

    Hello,
    I have read through some of the threads regarding the co-existence of Uverse and a time capsule. But it all seems very advanced to me. Here is what I'm wanting to do.
    I currently have Uverse. I have the box in my living room attached to a wall outlet, via Ethernet. I have 3 TVs, all with Uverse boxes. Wirelessly, I have several devices connected to the Wifi at any given time. An iMac, 2 iPads, a MacBook Air, 3 iPhones, Apple TV, an XBox and 2 smart TVs.
    So my Uverse Wifi pretty much stinks. It's not bad right in the livingroom where the box is, but in my bedroom and office it's pretty poor. When I try to watch Apple TV in the bedroom I end up watching a lot of spinning as it waits to connect:(
    I was told at the Apple Store that a time capsule could help with that in addition to creating a back up of my computers. Excellent! So I purchased it. But here is my issue. My main iMac, the newest computer with the most up to date software, is in my office. But my Uverse equipment is in the living room with the TV. So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule? Because they are rooms away from each other:( Is ther any way someone can take me through this step by step like setup for dummies?:) I would be so grateful!
    Thanks!!

    So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
    I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
    The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
    If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
    If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
    That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless.  A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
    At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
    Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

  • What is best method to discard a used Apple Time Capsule

    I have a Time Capsule which became defective.  How should I discard this piece of equipment?  Is there any security issue regarding data on the hard drive?

    The files on the hard disk are sadly still accessible to a knowledge person..
    I would open the TC.. remove the hard disk. See https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule
    Then you can plug the hard disk into a USB hard drive cradle you can obtain from any large computer store for a few dollars or millions on ebay.. and plug it into your computer and wipe it. You can then put the HDD back into the TC and sell it as broken on ebay.. there is plenty of demand for broken ones for parts.
    If all of that seems over the top.. take it to your apple store and ask for it to be disposed of. Apple should be able to offer a secure disposal service. Since the failure of the device is their fault.. and the lack of ability to remove the hard disk is also a design flaw.. well it is easy enough for them to dispose of properly.
    If it is a Gen1 or Gen2 .. you can buy a replacement power supply on ebay for $40 or so and fix it up .. then you can sell it off working.
    See my website for more info on how to repair.

  • What is the proper way to extend 2nd generation time capsule network to 2nd generation Airport Express?

    I have a Simultaneous Dual Band Time Capsule. Up until now, I have been extending the network with the Airport Express (2nd Gen, the 802.11n model). Since it was not simultaneous dual band, it was extending over the 2.4 GHz band so as it could extend b, g, and n and support my iPhone at 2.4 n as well as my iPad and MacBook Pro at 5 GHz.
    I just bought the new simultaneous dual band unit, which theoreticalkly should be able to extend both bands.
    Now, it is not that simple. I also run a guest network, which I assume also gets extended when WDS is on. I also still have the old Express which I have relegated to another part of the house.
    When I set up the new Express, it asked me which one of the networks I want to join, either <SSID> or <SSID 5GHz>, the automatically generated name for the the 5 GHz band on the Time Capsule. Which one do I join? How do I know that both are extended? When I connect to the <SSID 5GHz> now my iPhone can see that one and connect to it, so I am assuming it is NOT going at 5 GHz.
    And I have no idea at all what the guest network is doing....
    Does anyone have any insight into tthe proper way to configure all the units, and what I can expect? My network is as follows:
                                                                                             Airport Express (Simultaneous Dual Band)
    Cable Modem > Time Capsule (Simultaneous Dual Band) >
                                                                                             Airport Express (802.11n, last gen)
    I want to run guest network (hopefully simultaneous dual band) and personal network. I want the new express to run both bands just like the Time Capsule, and for the old express I want to know which of the two bands I am extending.
    Thank You!

    I also run a guest network, which I assume also gets extended when WDS is on
    Unfortunately, the Guest Network cannot be extended.
    When I set up the new Express, it asked me which one of the networks I want to join, either <SSID> or <SSID 5GHz>, the automatically generated name for the the 5 GHz band on the Time Capsule.
    This likely indicates that the Time Capsule has been setup to use separate names for the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, instead of the default, which uses the same wireless network name for both bands.
    In order for the AirPort Express to be able to extend both bands, the Time Capsule will need to be configured so that both bands use the same wireless network name.
    Then, configure the AirPort Express to extend the wireless network name of the Time Capsule, and it will extend both bands.  At least, that is the way an AirPort Extreme works, and I assume that the Express is the same. I don't have an Express here to test, but will in another day or two.
    The location of the Express is important, since the 5 GHz signals are not as strong as 2.4 GHz signals. You may need to experiment by placing the Express closer to the Time Capsule than normal.  With an AirPort Extreme, I find that the Extreme must be located no more than about half the distance from the main router to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you continue to use the previous model Express to extend as well, it too must be configured to extend the wireless network name of the Time Capsule. Configured this way, the Express will extend the stronger of the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signals, so it will likely extend the 2.4 GHz band unless it is located close to the Time Capsule.
    To find out which band the previous model Express is extending, locate a Mac laptop close to the Express and hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the AirPort icon at the top of the screen. The info displayed will indicate whether you (and the Express) are connecting using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

  • What is the best configuration with Mac Book air, time capsule and external hard drive?

    Hi, I just bought a MacBook Air with the new Time Capsule and I was wondering what is the best set up:
    Option 1: use the time capsule as my main drive and back it up onto an external drive plugged at the back of it
    or Option 2: use the external drive as the main drive and use the time capsule as the back up? in that case, would the ext drive need to be plugged to the MacBook Air?
    Many thanks

    Option 2 is far superior.. and actually the only one that works.
    That is without killing yourself or having continual issues accessing your files.
    You do need to plug the external disk into the MBA.

  • What is the easiest way to tell if your time capsule has backed up your hard drive, as my mac has been recalled for a replacement hard drive

    Your views would be appreciatted, my imac has recently been recalled for a replacement hard drive, would it be easier just to purchase a external hard drive to be on the safe side for backing up my photos etc?
    I have a 1GB time capsule but to be honest not sure how it operates it states it oldest back up is the 11th October
    201GB of 998 available or would it best to buy a external hard drive and back up using this.
    thanks
    Benjoe08

    You are very wise.. !!
    It can be awfully hard restoring the Mac from TM.. as many posters here have discovered.
    IMHO.. for certainty.. get an external drive.. they are not expensive.. do a full backup to it.
    I would even download superduper and make a clone of the existing drive and boot from it.. this means when the Mac is returned if all else fails.. you can use the external clone as a boot and have exact OS as you have right now.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer iPhoto to Time capsule?

    I currently have my iPhoto content stored locally on my MacBook and I would like to transfer everything to my Time Capsule.
    Since there are over 30G of photos, every time I attempt to start the transfer, the time to complete is well over 1 day.  Any time the screen saver kicks in, the transfer stops.
    Is there an easier way to do this?

    If you decide to do this after reading below and double checking in the iPhoto support area.....
    Turn off the screen saver on your Mac for the transfer.
    30 GB should copy over in approximately an hour and a half if you are using a wired Ethernet connection.
    But....before you do this....I suggest that you check with the experts in the iPhoto  support area for reasons on why you would NOT want to do this
    The primary reasons are:
    1) If you move the iPhoto library to the Time Capsule, it will be on a network drive, and you are probably using wireless. Any interruption during the time that iPhoto is reading or writing to the libary can corrupt the entire library and render it unusable. If you decide to do this anyway, the Mac should be connected by Ethernet to the Time Capsule whenever you will be using iPhoto to minimize the chances of a writing error.
    2) You have your "original" library on the Mac now, and likely your backup of the library on the Time Capsule.  If you are using Time Machine now for backups, and you move the "original" library to the Time Capsule drive......you have no backup for the iPhoto library when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem.
    The solution is to add a USB or FireWire drive to your Mac and move the iPhoto library to that drive. This is a "safe" way to use iPhoto, which you can verify by checking with the iPhoto experts. 
    Time Machine will now backup both your Mac and the hard drive. So....you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another separate drive.  When one drive fails, you at least have a backup copy on the other drive.

  • What is the factory administrator password?

    When I received my Macbook Pro, it came with items already loaded and an administrator password that I don't know.  This was a few years ago.  I didn't even know until recently when trying to download silerlight that there was such a thing.  How do I get past this now?  I don't have the disk that the web refers to.

  • What are the username and password when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP

    when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP in the sapmanagement console mmc, It need i input the username and password for Web_admin, What are the username and password when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP and which tools act the role as the VisualAdministrator of NetWeaver04s and NetWeaver2004s?
    thank you very much

    Hello Guoging,
    you can login to ICM with username Administrator and password abc123. That is described in the start.html file, which you can find in the unzipped Downloadpackage of SAP NetWeaver Java EE 5 Edition.
    You can use NetWeaverAdministrator(NWA) or config tool to configure this edition. NWA
    needs to be installed separately. If you have a default installation, go to
    C:SAPJP1JC00j2eeNWAdmin and execute the file install.bat. Ensure that NetWeaver is running, enter user Administrator und the Masterpassword you chose during installation and wait around 20 Minutes or more. NWA is started automatically after installation has finished in your webbrowser.
    For more information on NWA read the Administrationguide

    You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit.  Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge. 
    In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF.  See images below.
    Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
    It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.
