how may I add files to time capsule apart from backup files?
I'm able to perform backup (time machine). May I add pictures, texts, movies...?
Thanks

not sure if this is a spc. appletv question or if you posted it in the wrong forum but there is no way
for an appletv to access files directly from an time capsule it can only! access a shared lib from itunes from a computer running and running itunes

How do I save files to time capsule separate from the back up files

I have the time capsule set up; the wifi works great with all devices and it backed up my MacBook a few times without incident. After that I exported portions of my iPhoto library to files I set up on the time capsule and since then I get an error message when time machine attempts to back up my Mac. The error message reads "the back up disk image "/volume/time capsule-1/1234.sparsebundle" is already in use". I have since deleted the files with the exported pics from iPhoto believing that was the issue...but the error message still pops up when time machine tries to back up to time capsule. Is it not possible to use the time capsule as an external drive in addition to the back up disk? I'd like to store old pictures from iPhoto on the time capsule and delete the pictures from my MacBook.

Moving the image files is not related to the the error that you see. Lion...and Mountain Lion....has bugs.
Fix the "file in use" error first, then move the files that you want over to the Time Capsule disk.

You have to get them from the file you have into iCloud, google, yahoo, outlook.com, AOL, an Exchange server, or some other service the phone can sync with, or into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can sync them to the phone.

How to browse files in time capsule from outstate?

how to browse files in time capsule from outstate?

I presume by outstate you mean remote access ie from internet in a different location??
If so google for remote access time capsule.
It is simple if you have TC setup as the main router and a static public IP.
Just go to finder, go, go to server and type in AFP://IPofTC
The TC has to be checked to allow wan access and use a decent password as the security for AFP is poor.

How to improve the speed for backing up files to time capsule via in hose wifi?

How to improve the speed for backing up files to time capsule via in hose wifi?

via in hose wifi?
Use a bigger hose??
House??
Need to spell this out a bit more..
But speed via 2.4ghz to the TC is restricted by Apple to max 130mbps link speed.. much slower actual transfer.. latest TC and laptops can do 450mbps on 5ghz but you need to be up close.. so place the TC near the device using it.. and force 5ghz connection by using a different name for 5ghz network.

How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library?
How may one add more than one images?

I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

How to drag a file to time capsule???

How to drag a file to time capsule? I would like to use it to store stuff like video and music, every time I try to drag a file in the TC it doesen't work ???

Mount the TC first by double clicking it in finder.
Create a new directory before you start copying files to it.
Do not forget the TC is not designed for file sharing.. it is a backup target for TM. It cannot back itself up nor can TM back up a network drive.. anything you put on the TC can be lost if it dies.. TC die regularly .. be warned.

How to wipe out the files on Time Capsule so I can sell it

The first back up was successful, but I can't get it work ever since. The yellow light is always flashing even I follow the direction to reinstall. It's too hard for me to handle compare regular external hard drive back up. I bought a 1-TB LaCie hard drive to back up my files and have no problem so I would like to know how to securely remove my files on Time Capsule so I can sell it.
Thanks,
Sabrina

Open the Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Disks --> "Erase". Select "7-Pass Erase". That will be sufficient.

Heat up the bottom rubber mat with a hairdryer for 5-10 minutes to loosen the adhesive, then pull the rubber mat away from the bottom metal plate carefully.
Then use a screwdriver to remove the 10-12 screws to open up the case.

Can i use my time capsule to wirelessly backup my macbook and its external hard drive, which up until now was it's time machine and storage? How?

Can i use my time capsule to wirelessly backup my macbook and its external hard drive, which up until now was it's time machine and storage? How?

The external drive must be connected to the Mac using either USB or FireWire
You must remove the external hard drive from the list of items that are "excluded" from backups in Time Machine Preferences.
Here's how:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Options
Look for the name of the hard drive in the list of "excluded" items and click on it to highlight it
Click the -- (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the hard drive from the list of "excluded" items....so it will now be backed up
Strongly recommend that you do the first backup using Ethenret from your computer to the Time Capsule since the entire contents of the external drive will be copied on the first pass. Ethernet will be 3-5 faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will nornally be much smaller....unless you add large files to the external drive.

Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

How do I connect an old Time Capsule to look for data from a previous OS?

Hello. I replaced my old Time Capsule with a new one a few months ago, and broke in the new Time Capsule with a fresh backup of a clean 10.9 install after migrating my user account.
Today, I noticed that there were some folders full of personal data that are neither on my MBP, nor in my Time Machine backups on the new Time Capsule. I am hoping that these folders still exist on my old Time Capsule which I used with 10.8.
I'm wondering how to search through my old Time Capsule and its Time Machine backups. Specifically, I'm wondering how to connect it to my MacBook Pro, and whether I will be able to search for my (hopefully not) lost data through the Time Machine interface, or through the directory structure contained in Backups.backupdb.
Can anyone help me out with a plan to proceed?
Thank you very much.

1. Turn off Time Machine in System Preferences
2. Unplug new Time Capsule
3. Turn off Wi-Fi in the menu bar
4. Attach old Time Capsule to power
5. Attach old Time Capsule to MBP via ethernet
6. Wait for old Time Capsule to appear in Finder > Sidebar > Shared
7. Select old Time Capsule in Finder > Sidebar > Shared and Connect to old Time Capsule
8. Select the Data directory
9. Double-click on the .sparsebundle file that represents the volume that was backed up on the old Time Capsule
10. Hold down the option key and click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and select Browse Other Backup Disks...
11. Select the Time Machine backup disk you would like to browse and choose Use Selected Disk
12. Browse old Time Capsule backup in Time Machine environment, restore data as normal, exit Time Machine as normal
13. Eject old Time Machine backups (the .sparsebundle you mounted) under Devices in Finder > Sidebar
14. Eject old Time Capsule under Finder > Sidebar > Shared
15. Disconnect ethernet; disconnect old Time Capsule from power.
16. Plug in new Time Capsule (it boots); turn Wi-Fi on (reconnect to network, if necessary); turn Time Machine back on in System Preferences

How is the best way to separate duplicate MP3 from AIFF files in my library?

I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
You cannot get higher resolution by converting the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
Agreed.
You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

How can i use the airport time capsule as a external hard drive?

how can i use the airport time capsule as a external hard drive?

Why do you recommend not place things like iTunes libraries or photo libraries on the drive? It was what I am looking for...
I suggest that you ask the experts over in the iPhoto Support Community about their opinions on placing an iPhoto or Aperture library on the Time Capsule....even if you plan to use a wired connection for your Mac and the Time Capsule.
But, if Terrence Devlin answers, be prepared for a lecture about why you should not ever do this.
If you place the iTunes library on the Time Capsule, be prepared for iTunes to give you messages about not being able to find the library.
In addtion, LaPastenague has the answer for you in a nutshell......corruption problems.
Bottom line....the Time Capsule is for your backups.....not "everyday" files and especially not libraries.

Can't copy files to time capsule

I need some help with my new 2TB Time Capsule. I setup the time capsule and did my first time machine backup. Now I want to copy over additional files to time capsule from my full hard drive on my iMac. When I drag files over the following message occurs "The item “FILE NAME” can’t be moved because “Time Capsule” can’t be modified."
I went into my aiport utilities -- opened up my time capsule -- went to disks -- clicked file sharing -- and the enabled file sharing box is checked.
Help! How do I move files to my time capsule.
Thanks in advance

From post above: "Now I want to copy over additional files to time capsule from my full hard drive on my iMac"
I'm sorry for the confusion. My device is called "Time Capsule" --- How do I remedy the error I am receiving?
"The item “FILE NAME” can’t be moved because “Time Capsule” can’t be modified."
This error occurs when I am drag a document from my iMac hard drive to my time capsule (which technically has another name).
