Can I define the time periods when my children's devices have access to the wi-fi network?
Yes, using the Timed Access feature in AirPort Utility, you can setup specific rules for each wireless device which define the exact timeframe each day that the device will be allowed to connect to the wireless network.
Example....junior's iPhone can connect.....
Everyday......Between.....9 AM and 10:00 PM
or
Weekdays.......Between......4 PM and 9 PM
and Weekends.....Between......9 AM and 11 PM
At the same time, your own personal devices will have Unlimited Access at all times.

Time Capsule with Backup unable to be connected to and restored
I have recently rebuilt my iMac to 10.6.8 - I was previously on the same OS but wanted a clean install.
My entire mac was backed up to a 3tb Time Capsule
Having rebuilt I would like to restore some data from the Time Capsule but the iMac is now refusing to see any data on the time capsule. When I manage the Time Capsule from Airport Utility I can see that there is about 1gb used. If I share the disc and allow connectivity I can even see the sparsebundle, but Time Machine and Migration Assistant do not see a valid Time Capsule with data that can be restored from.
I am not 100% that I have anything stored here that I can recover elsewhere. The key data was stored in multiple places as I never like to rely on 1 - however I would like to get to the bottom of this as I want some confidence in this for the future.
Any advice welcome.
PaulThe problem is that Migration Assistant doesn't recognise ANY backup partitions on the Time Capsule. I can see the Time Capsule drive and when I select them I have to provide a password but it fails to connect or fails to find a usable backup. But as I mentioned if I manually connect I can see the sparsebundle.
I'm quite happy to start again, but really want to recover some of the data on the drive. If I can't recover now under these circumstance (ie voluntary rebuild) I will have no confidence that the TC will be there when needed under an involuntary rebuild.
The machine has been rebuilt under exactly the same machine name and administrator names, although I guess these could both have unique identifiers.

It works perfectly with another computer under Windows XP.
Does somebody have an idea?
Also I did not find how to update Airport and Time capssule software.
Thank you for help
Palou707Just an update to the above i can now no longer see the time capsule in network places!! All i have done is retstarted!!! I can still see the time capsule from my mac and access it!!!

I have a 1st generation time capsule and an extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down
I have a 1st generation time capsule and an appe extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down? Should I dump it an get the new n version?
yes it is likely to be slowing down the network because you are using 802.11b/g
from what i recall with b/g a slow client can slow down the entire network to that clients speed.
this was the major improvement with 802.11n and Mimo. each client can be connected to the access point without affecting your speed to the rest of the network
its reccomended to get all new "N" equipment if you have the budget for it. some of those old airports and time capsules can still be worth something on amazon marketplace so you might be able to sell them
if you want to create / join / extend a netwowrk your going to probably need all "n" based equipment.
buy the new 4th generation time capsule or the new 5th generation airport they have better stronger radios
in the mean time configure your base station router to a high multicast rate, so it will prevent devices connecting to it at 1-2 mbps speeds and slowing down your network
if you have an apple care covered mac remember the airport / time capsule rule. all airports and time capsules purchased 2 years before you bought your mac to the 3 years of apple care covers them. if you do not have apple care then the standard warranty applies -
What use would there be for the 1st generation time capsule if I bought a new ac time capsule?
I just bought hte new ac time capsule (TC), and was using the 1st generation one at home.
=> I use now the old TC as an wifi extender and as a shared hard disk for family
=> the new TC is used with Time Machine for encrypted backup and first high speed network -
I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?
I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference? -
how do i set up the time capsule with only a wireless net work? it keeps asking me to plug in a cable and i do not have one.
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. -
I have a Time Capsule with 2tb of storage, and an I-Mac with 500Gb. (which is at capacity) Can I use the Time Capsule to store data from my hard drive that I want to access later in addition to backing up the hard drive?
Can I use the Time Capsule to store data from my hard drive that I want to access later in addition to backing up the hard drive?
Yes, but if you move the "original" data on your iMac to the Time Capsule....then the "original" data is now on the Time Capsule disk.
When...not if...the Time Capsule disk has a problem, you have no backups for this data.
Perhaps a much safer plan might be to add an external hard drive attached directly to your iMac. Then, move the data to that drive from the iMac.
Now, Time Machine will back up both your iMac and the external hard drive so you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another. Would that plan work for you? -
I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.
On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time. -
you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP
I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default. -

I have loaded my Time Capsule with my photos, videos, music etc. I want to access these using my Apple TV on my home WIFI for display on my tv's, and Ipads, Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I can do it by access to my Macbook but that's not always convenient.
If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
They might be fixable but I do not know how. -
have 2009 time capsule with 6 month old iMac very slow ...cox said to replace with new router or extreme with new wifi ???? confused
Replace the Time Capsule with a new one or replace your router with an Airport Extreme Base Station that has faster Wi-Fi. Or you could just connect your old Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection from the Time Capsule to the computer's Ethernet port.
