I am not sure if I installed my Time Capsule property

Hello everyone.
I've just bought my TC, and I installed. Unfortunately I am not sure if I installed in aproperty way because I don't understand how it works, so I will explain everything in detail.
I have Internet through Verizon, they gave me an ADSL2 + Versalink, my understanding is that this is not a Router, is that right?
I connected my TC through the ADSL2 with an Ethernet cable, then I plugged in my TC to thepower
After a few minutes I could see a wizard in my iMac so I started to set up.
I gave a name to my TC and I gave a password, but when the wizard asked me if I wanted to create a new net, or if I wanted to replace an old one, etc. I chose the second one “ I want to replace the old one with myTC”.
After that I didn’t know what to do, so I wrote the same name of my Internet connection that I already had into the wizard and the same password, and all the other information I left in the same way. Finally the wizard asked me that I need to disconnect the old router, but I didn’t do anything because I didn't know what it had to be disconected so I only make a click to next.
Then asked me if I wanted to make the first backup, so I did it.
I started my back up and it show me that it will take 24 days, so I left it over night and then I check it and it said that it will take16 days, so I gave up and stopped the back up process.
I plugged out my TC to the ADSL2 and because my iMac and my ADSL2 are in the opposite site of the room I had to plug into my iMac leaving without ADSL connection. I started the back up and it looks good it only going to take 9 hours, I am thinking in return the TC to the ADSL plug after finish the first back up.
These are my questions:
1. When I stopped the back up and started the new one, was it wrong? Because it looked that restarted where the other back up was stopped.
2. If my TC is disconnected to the ADSL2 Ethernet cable, why am I still having Internet connection? It does mean that I should have internet to the Time Capsule.
3. Should I start all the process again? If so, what should I do? I mean should I reset all the information including the first backup to the TC? Could I do that and how?
Thanks you for the patient in reading all this informationI hope that you can help me.

I think you are confused..
A time capsule does nothing.. it is a back up location for Time Machine..
It does not backup anything by itself. It is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.
Your mini and MBP should be setup to backup to the TC using TM.
iphone and ipad do not backup to the TC at all.. they backup to cloud or itunes.
See Apple documents.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Windows has a built in backup software.. if you have pro version it should be able to backup to the TC. But I would recommend against it. Use a USB drive plugged into the win8 machine and format it NTFS as a standard windows disk and backup to that. Mixing backups and data on the TC is not a good idea.
When you move the TC has to be reset to factory.. for whatever is your new network setup in the new apt. A factory reset will not erase the disk of the TC which is immune to anything outside of a deliberate erase via the airport utility with confirmation.

HT1178 Can i install the time capsule fixed on the wall, using it stretched

Can i install the time capsule fixed on the wall, using it stretched?

Not sure what you mean by "stretched", but the Time Capsule can certainly be wall mounted. Apple sells the wall mounting brackets:

Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
Not sure what you mean here.
A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive. You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

Just installed new Time Capsule, wifi now very slow, what amI doing wrong?

Just installed new Time Capsule, wifi now very slow, what am I doing wrong?

It's possible the reason it seems so slow, is that a backup might be in progress - and since it's the first backup everything on the disk is something that Time Machine is backing up and is being transferred across the WiFi at the same time as you're trying to use your Internet. So you're competing with Time Machine data flying across your WiFi along with your internet stuff. So if this is indeed what is happening (look at Time Machine to see if a backup is in progress), either pause the backup to a more convienent time or live with the slowness till the backup is done this first time, and after that you probably will not notice the "competition" on your WiFi. I like to schedule the Time Machine backups to late at night rather than once an hour (the default), but that schedule should be whatever you feel most comfortable with.
There is a handy free utility called "TimeMachine Editor" that you can get from http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/ that lets you create your own customized backup schedule. You can create several schedules to fit your working conditions. I've used it for several years with never a problem. I don't have anything to do with the company - just a happy user.
Good luck...

HT201250 My time machine is not backing up automatically to my time capsule since my upgrade to Moutain Lion.

Since I upgraded my iMac,my time machine is not backing up automatically to my time capsule since my upgrade to Moutain Lion.

I have a similar problem. On my iMac, I swapped out (at Genius Bar) my HD via Seagate replacement program. Ever since my time machine won't backup. I get a error msg that says:
Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "[my time machine name]"
The backup disk is not available.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and back

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

Problems to install the time capsule

Hey everyone,
I really need your all help! I bought a time capsule and now I want to install it at my macbook pro. But everytime I try this I cant.
It shows that I cannot install the time capsule at the macintosh hd 10.9.1!! And that the Mac OS X version cannot be supported at this volume.
Do you have any hints?
Please help me!!

If the TC is new.. I don't understand the error message.. as it will most certainly work on any version 6 of the airport utility in Mavericks.
See if you can do it manually.. I have just posted full details of the setup.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5703308?tstart=0
If that doesn't work..
Please give a lot more info.
What model TC is it.. you bought a brand new AC version?
What is the existing broadband setup? Modem and router?
How are you attempting the setup?

I install a time capsule and I have to solve the last thing bsGN and it asks me for "a value for bsGN is required", I have no idea what it means. Somebody who knows what to do here? Thank you.

H E L P !
I am installing a time capsule and I have to solve a last problem, bsGN and the system asks for "a value for bsGN is required", I have no idea what that means. Can anybody help me please? Thank you.

There is no value bsGN in a Time Capsule.
Where is this request coming from?
Please give a screenshot.
Who is the ISP? What kind of modem is it?
I can find no info relevant to bsGN .. you will need to give us specifics or ring your ISP about it.
Is bsGN even English?? Is it the ISP name??

Replaced the hard on my Macbook and not sure how to install the Mac OS X . i HAVE BOTH DISK

Hello I am not sure what to do!!! Ireplaced hard drive on my Macbook. When I put disk one in do I use Disk utility . Help

You need to provide more information such as:
What operating system was installed on the computer when it was new?
Do you have OS X installation discs for the computer?
Was Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed when the computer was new?
What is the exact model you have?
The process is generically:
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Rotate movie feature not showing up after installing quick time pro key

I installed Quick Time 7 Player for Windows and then entered my Quick Time 7 Pro registration code. When I open a movie, recorded on a Sony Cyber Shot camera, movie editing features are not showing up. I need to rotate my movies 90 degrees and that was the sole purpose of purchasing the pro addition.
After reading through pages of on-line support resourses and endless calls for technical support (and receiving none), I am still unable to figure out what's going on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and insights in advance.

Sounds like you are trying to edit muxed mpeg files, the editing of which QT PRO does not support. It also will not export the sound from such files. If they are mpeg-1 you can use Mpeg StreamClip to edit or export them. If they are mpeg-2 you would first need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent. With that component installed mpegstreamclip will also edit mpeg2 files.

Just installed new Time Capsule now my airport express range extender will not work any suggestions

Just replaced my Time capsule that died with a new one now my airport express range extender won't work. Any sugesstions?

Thank you William, I reconfigured the Airport Express and it works perfectly. Sorry I did not get back to you sooner but I came down with a bad cold.
Thank You, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Can not print from my pc using time capsule's printer, but the mac in the office will. PC sees the network just not the printer connected to the capsule.

I can't get my pc to see the printer connected to the time capsule, it sees and connect to the network but will not see the printer. The mac in the office see both the network and the printer connected to the capsule.

Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

Difficulty installing a Time Capsule

I'm having difficulty installing a new Time Capsule. It did not configur automatically, but trying a few things, it finally configured after I set "connection sharing off (bridge mode)". I can now access the internet from my MacBook, but still cannot from my Parallels machine (a Windows 2000 virtual machine on my MacBook). Also I seem to have lost the abililty to read my .Mac mail into the "Mail" program. Any ideas?
Also, how am I meant to se the disk in the Time Capsule? It doesn't appear in my Finder window. I'm not running OSX 10.5, so won't be using Time Machine.

You will find the setup difficult by wireless.. once setup you do not need to use an ethernet.. but it sure makes life hard not using it for setup.

Wireless connection not visible on Vista laptop using Time capsule

Change setup with Time capsule 1 TB, all MAC PC's work perfectly with wireless connection, except Vista laptop.
Vista discovers all other wireless connections except the one from Time capsule.
On advise from forum, changed Airport settings :
- Radio mode = 802/a - 802/g"
- Wireless security to "none"
Which other setting on Vista prevents at least discovering the wireless signal ?
Thanks for your support !

I believe the problem has to do with some potential compatibility issue between the SP3 update and the currently installed Boot Camp drivers. Did you make sure that you (re)installed the latest Boot Camp drivers after you performed the SP3 update?
(ref: Apple Support: Installing Boot Camp drivers)
Also, the following firmware update may help as well: MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.1

I am not sure if I installed my Time Capsule property
