I can't connect my PC (Win 7) to my Time Capsule for wireless networking

Any Help?????
I called Apple support and they said to call my PC manufacturer.  What the ****?!?!

This didn't work.  I'm assuming you mean to change it from WPA to Bridged mode?  I did that and it still didn't work for the PC.  However, my MacBook connects, my friend's Mac desktop connects, and iPhone connects just fine.
PC's just simply won't connect.  This is such a bummer.  I've tried 3 windows laptops and my windows PC and they just won't connect to the internet.
They see the network and then try and connect.  All it says is that it is an "unidentified network" with no internet connection.

    Can you connect a mobile broadband device to a time capsule?

    Only if it has ethernet.. and offers the ip direct to the device ie you need a 3G router not a USB stick..

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to my time capsule to add virtual hard drive space?

    I would like to make a 4 TB external hard drive available wirelessly on my home network.  I have heard that I could connect it to my router or my Time Capsule to do this.  Is this possible?  Is there any special setup I need to do to enable this to work? 
    Additionally, I have two Macbooks in the house and have recently purchased a second Time Capsule.  I would like to back up each computer to its own Time Capsule.  Is there a configuration that would make this possible?
    If the two Time Capsules are connected together via an ethernet cable (in extend the network mode), and one elects to back both of their computers up to the primary Time Capsule, does the primary use the secondary Time Capsule's hard drive space to continue backing up once it becomes full?
    Thanks in advance for any advice you all may have for me in this situation!

  • I can't connect my Windows Vista 64 bit to Time Capsule and Internet

    I have just start using a MacBook Air and a wireless network with a Time Machine! I used to have just PC with a simple home network. I get total successful in use the Time Machine and 2 other notebooks with windows XP, but I cannot connect a HP PC with Windows Vista 64 bit, neither to the Time Capsule nor to the internet. These computer are working perfect because I can connect to others Wi-Fi networks with no problems, seems that something is blocking! When I try to access the Time Capsule I get an answer that I should enable the NetBIOS, but I have already checked and it is working properly! When I ask to diagnose the network problem I get an answer that I should re-start my modem and internet connection, which I have done with no success!
    I appreciate for some additional information! Thanks

    I had the exact same error message but it was on an Airport Extreme Base Station. I use a Macbook at my office and there are 2 XP desktops as well and we were using a shared storage hooked into the AEBS in order to share files. One day all of a sudden the XP machines starting displaying the same error message that NetBIOS should be enabled.
    After googling every available article I discovered what ultimately solved our issue.
    I opened the the Airport Utility app on my Macbook I clicked on "Manual Setup"
    Then "Disks"
    Then "File Sharing"
    I discovered that the default name under "Workgroup" was Workgroup, but our network in the office is called "MSHome" so I changed it to match the PCs and instantly both PCs connected to the shared storage.
    Also I changed the 2.4Ghz channel to a number other than the default 11.
    I changed the name of the base station to a name less than 8 characters with no spaces and no symbols.
    I changed the Wireless Security to "WPA/WPA 2 Personal".
    I've been trying to add my fix to other Apple Support pages and they're all archived and closed to replies, so if you haven't gotten your TC to work, maybe this might help.

  • Can't connect Time Capsule to wireless network...

    I was able to backup my computer with Time Capsule if the computer and Time Capsule are connect with the internet cable.  But then when I unhook the computer, it can't connect wirelessly.  If I look in my available wireless networks, I do find the TIme Capsule network, but then I try to connect, it won't connect.  I need some help connecting to that network so I can backup wirelessly!

    If the computer can see the wireless network, connection issues can be poor signal or interference.
    Wrong previous setup on the airport .. go into the network preferences for the airport and see if it is getting an IP address.. if it fails make sure the setting is correct.
    Plug back in by ethernet and redo the wireless setup of the TC.
    Use SMB type names.. Short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    Use Fixed radio channels.. try in turn 1, 6, 11 (13 outside US) These are the only non-overlapping channels.
    Use no security at all for testing.. but then WPA2 Personal is the only security rated for N wireless connections.
    I recommend also giving a different name to 5ghz so you can force connection to the faster network.
    If you still have issue change the mode of the wireless.. there are various manual options..
    The idea is to reduce all auto settings so you can be sure it will work.
    If you are on Lion or even Mountain Lion use the v5 utility. There are ways and means to install the later.

  • Can I connect two usb hard drives to my time capsule?

    Dear all,
    I have bought a powered usb hub to connect two usa hard drives to my 3rd generation time capsule, as it is written in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421
    I have formatted both hard drives, so now the file system is extended Mac OS (journaled). If I plug the usb hub to my laptop, I can access both hard drives. If I plug it to my time capsule, by no means I can access any disk. If I plug each hard drive directly to the time capsule, I can access each of them. I don't understand! what can be the problem? The file system is ok, the hub is powered and everything is working if I plug it to my laptop. Can anybody help me? Any idea? Thank you in advance!

    A hub that works on a Mac does not necessarily work on a Time Capsule.. eg Some Belkin hubs do not work on TC even though they work on the Mac.. The TC having a small amount of ROM memory can only store drivers for a small selection of usb chipsets.. you need to buy a different powered hub..
    What ones actually work with TC.. ?? Not sure.. google for success.
    best usb hub airport (airport and TC are same thing)
    This is coming up all the time.

    Your problem is finding the right one, because even like belkin ones, a 7port might work, because belkin are rebadgers they don't make anything.. so it depends which factory they come from.. for a consumer product like a hub they probably care more about the outside and packaging appearance than the chip used inside. And lets face it.. all they care about in the end is to deliver it for the cheapest price possible to make money out of it.

  • How can i connect an external hard drive to my time capsule?

    I can see it though my airport utility but not my network.

    I have the same problem, it is NTFS formatted, is that a problem?
    Sure is.. The TC cannot use it.. cannot see it or read it.
    You need to connect the disk to the Mac, format it HFS+ and make sure it is GUID type disk not MBR windows type. Although you can also use fat32 IMHO that is really backward step.
    Windows can still write to it, as the TC or airport can offer SMB to the network.. it is irrelevant the format of a drive plugged in.
    The USB port is underpowered in the TC.. even though the hard disk is powered you sometimes need a powered hub.. and not all powered hubs work.
    Also note USB is slow.. connected to a network device it is double or triple slow.
    It is far better to plug the USB drive straight into the computer and use it in native format to the OS of the computer.

  • I can't connect to the drive on my airport time machine and am receiving the message: "AirPort Time Capsule" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.

    Time capsule has been working perfectly for months.
    Suddenly I can't connect to the drive on my airport time capsule and am receiving the message: “AirPort Time Capsule” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.
    Time machine appears to be still backing up (last backup within the last hour), but drive is not visible and I have files stored on it.
    I have tried rebooting everything in order as suggested for other issues, anyone got any ideas how to see the drive again??

    What OS are you running??
    It is very typical Yosemite issue.
    1. In airport utility does the TC show up.. if so click it.. and see the summary page which will include its IP address. That is what you are after.
    From my screenshot you can see the TC address is 192.168.2.57
    It might well show up briefly after a reboot or in ipad / iphone version utility. Yosemite is hopeless. The airport utility hardly works.
    2. In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in SMB://192.168.2.57 (replace with IP you discover).
    If it is possible it will request a password.. type that in and DO NOT FORGET.. to store it in your keychain.
    This will work until the TC changes IP which won't happen if it is main router.. but will happen if it is bridged.. so you need to tell me the whole network setup.
    Mavericks is nearly as bad and the above instructions should be universal except I would use AFP instead of SMB. Apparently Yosemite is now totally Windows oriented.

  • My MacBook Po can not connet with Time Capsule for Internet. Back-up are ok

    Hi to all,
    If I connect the ADSL line to Time Capsule no Internett available.
    If connect the live with eternet cable to MacBook pro all is fine.
    Mack book pro do all the backup with Time Capsule in WiFi
    Hot to have the MacBook connectid to Time Capsule in WiFe for internet too??
    Easy explanation please, I'm really beginner

    Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
    There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
    If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
    Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
    Correct, it will work.
    I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
    As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection.  You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
    If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

    I connected an external hard drive to the Time Capsule but can't get it to work.

    And are you using a powered USB hub? The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you almost always need to use a powered USB hub, even if the hard drive has its own power supply.

    If the drive can be accessed in local lan, then it can be accessed from internet assuming you have setup using one of the remote access methods.

    Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
