I just purchased a 3tb Time Capsule and having trouble getting my Brother networked laser printer to work.

Hello,
I tried several different routers, but could never get my new Seagate 4tb external hardrive to connect to use with Time Machine. I finally gave up and purchased a new Time Capsule today. It's a work of art, and working well as a router and harddrive. That said, I cannot get my Brother Laser Printer (HL-5370DW) to print.
It's a networked printer and my computer finds it, but it will not print anything.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get it working?

Mavericks often needs new drivers.. did you check the brother website for new drivers for 10.9.
Delete all the previous references to this printer.. and any other printer if they no exist.
Try and load again the new printer according to the Mavericks instructions.. this is actually nothing to do with the TC.. since the printer is network and using wireless or ethernet (not USB!!). Then the TC it is simply another client.

I just purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. I live in Italy and have 220V power. The Time Capsule is rated for that, but the cord says 125V. Can I use this cord with an adapter, or do I need to buy a new cord at an Italian store?

Due to the kind of plug used the US power cord is rated at the 125v value.. and legally we cannot advise you to use on higher voltages.. although I have never had issues in Australia.. 240v.
But adapters from your Euro power plug to US are generally ugly .. unsightly things.. and often sit high above the socket and are none too stable.. I agree with Bob.. just go out and buy a standard figure 8 power cord.. check with Apple in Italy for a white one.. if you are going to have it on show.. black are far more common. Or even check ebay for a standard power Apple power cord as a number of items they sell use the figure8 socket.

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way. Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.

I have a Mac Pro tower with two internal Hard Discs, each one 2TB. I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But it does not allow me to back up because it says there is not enough back up space available. Between the two HDs there are 3.3TBs. Can I daisy chain TC?

I have a Mac Pro tower (OSX version 10.6.3) with two internal Hard Drives, each one 2TB.
I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But cannot back up because it tells me there is not enough space.
I have more than 3Tbs to store to the new TC.
Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?

Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
No, you cannot link to produce a single large partition.
But you can have two separate backup jobs.. and use each partition. That is hard on TM but you can easily get a different backup software for it.
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
In TM you do a different setup and exclude the other drive.
But it is better to use an alternative software IMHO.
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
You would need to use a network drive of more than 4TB .. it would also take forever. This is just wrong way to do it. Although you can buy a NAS that will work with Time Machine and load it with disks 16TB is possible.. if you can get a second mortgage.. the fragile nature of TM on 3rd party devices.. would leave me in cold sweat if anything went wrong.
TM is excellent at keeping incremental backups of files that keep changing.. as such you should use TM to backup your OS disk and main user directory.. exclude all files and directories that never change. Back them up separately.
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?
Yes, that is a much better idea. You want to store photos safely and you want to store them in multiple places. If you have multiple TB of photos, dedicate a couple of disks to the backup. ie have at least two copies.. not in backup format.. in straight copy format if possible.. so you can keep one of the disks offsite.
I would be using your MacPro internal disk access, to place the disk onto sata bus and do the copy disk to disk direct. Or even buy esata card.. or sata to esata converter cable so you can use esata box. That will beat any other transfer speed except thunderbolt for which you would need third mortgage. (The MORT in mortgage is significant).
The great jurist Sir Edward Coke, who lived from 1552 to 1634, has explained why the term mortgage comes from the Old French words mort, "dead," and gage, "pledge." It seemed to him that it had to do with the doubtfulness of whether or not the mortgagor will pay the debt.

I bought a 3tb Time Capsule and would like to stream movie from it to my Samsung Smart TV. Do I need Apple TV or Another App?

TC is not a media device.. it has no media smarts at all.
And Apple TV is not a media player .. it is strictly a streamer.
Apple have built their entire media system around itunes.. so without itunes running on a computer nothing will happen.
The TC is unsuitable as location for your iTunes library as well.. you are simply slowing down the access to the library and making streaming more prone to glitches.
TC is for TM backups.
Use your Mac with iTunes library on an external hard disk if it is too big to fit in the internal disk.
The samsung TV cannot use the TC either because it needs a DLNA server extension on the storage.
There is however one way.. and not recommending it.. just saying it can be done.
Depending on how your media files are formatted.. you can use a WD live TV.
Because WD TV is a full media player and can play raw media files (almost any format) directly from a media source without DLNA, you can play your movie files.. but IMHO it is much easier to simply get a WD MyCloud or any cheap NAS.. that has built in DLNA media server.. almost all do.. and then your TV can play the media directly without any other player.

I just purchased an Airport Time Capsule.

I just purchased an Airport TIme Capsule
I am reading how to add my printer to it and it says to Choose "Add WPS Printer" from the base station menu but there is not such an option? Has anyone else figured out how to hook up the printer?

What version OS are you running? What version of airport utility?
There is a WPS option in the top menu area.. not in the utility interactive area.. even the old version utility had this option.. but it was named differently.
It will be greyed out unless you actually select the TC in the utility.

I just set up my Time Capsule and would like to back up my old MacBook with Tiger (10.4.11) to it

I just set up my Time Capsule and would like to back up my old MacBook with Tiger (10.4.11) to it so I can access the files with out taking up space on my new MacBook Pro. Since I've purchased this time capsule I've heard that using it as a "server" it not ideal, but at this point I don't have a lot of other options. Any advice on the best way to back up my old computer and be able to access these files from my new computer??

Open Macintosh HD and look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the Finder window
Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder representing the drive will appear to the right. The folder will be named "Data" unless you have changed the name of the drive.
You may need to click Connect As in the upper right hand corner of the window and enter the Time Capsule device password to get the folder to display the first time that you do this.
Once the folder is displayed, double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop. You can drag/drop files onto the icon. This is going to be very tedious, but it can be done.
I would suggest that you look at an application like Carbon Copy Cloner to automatically backup the files that you select. Then you can schedule the applcation to automatically backup any files that have changed each day.

I have just bought an airport time capsule and im trying to install an airport utility. I tried the 6 version but it wd not load because it said might mac would not support. I then tried the 5.6.1. and it said it would not work with airport capsule.

I have just bought an airport time capsule and i am trying to install an airport utility programme to support this
However, it seems the version 6 which came out last year - i can't use on my Mac - Snow Leopard -
So tried to then install version 5.6.1 and although this installed properly, it says this will not support my capsule
2. I have BT home hub 2. I presume I cannot bypass this as the internet router? I bought the time capsule for its capability to back up . The router was a byproduct. But am I correct in thinking that it acts as a secondary router or a booster rather than a primary router . I still need the BT homehub?
if anyone can help that would be great

You should either return the Time Capsule or upgrade your Mac at least to OS X 10.7.

Just installed a new time capsule and i want to use my airport express to extend my wireless range....time capsule working with existing devices at this time...but i am not able to get airport utility to recognize the airport express.....????

Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

How can I get Airplay to work with my 3TB Time Capsule and my two AV receivers

I have researched the net to death and my only solace is I don't appear to be alone. I have a 3TB Time Capsule that has a Denon and Pioneer receiver attached to it by ethernet. Also connected to the time capsule our three apple TV's. I can use airplay with my iPhones and iPads to the Apple TV but can't get either the Denon or the Pioneer to show up as Air Play options on any IOS Devices or my two Mac's.
I have the latest firmware on the Denon and Pioneer, the latest firmware on the Time Capsule and Mac's. I have tried power cycling, inserting a switch between the receivers and the time capsule but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be greatly

You can't officially as it relies on hardware.
A potential software solution is Airparrot.

Verizon FIOS, Time Capsule, and Airport Express - How to Extend Network

OK, I just got Verizon FIOS (TV, Internet, and phone). Don't care for the wireless router that is required to be used with it (want 802.11n and Time Capsule). I turned of the wireless on the Verizon FIOS router and installed a Time Capsule in Bridge Mode, which is how the Verizon rep told me to install it. As I understand it, the Verizon FIOS router is still handling DHCP, NAT, etc. I would like to extend the wireless network to reach some dead spots in my house. I have read that the Airport Express can be used to extend a wireless network from an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule, but it appears that I need to set up a WDS with the Time Capsule as the base station, which is apparently not possible on the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. I am desperately seeking any advice on how to use Verizon FIOS, my Time Capsule, and extend the wireless network to reach the farther corners of the house. I am using a Macbook and a Thinkpad as well as an iPhone on the wireless network with a Dell desktop connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Before I switched, I had Cox Cable with a Buffalo wireless router and it had great range. Now I seem to be in a worse situation from a wireless perspective with higher TV and Internet quality. Thanks in advance.

If you have an AirPort Express(n), you can configure it to "extend a wireless network". This is a more efficient way to add additional wireless coverage (and much easier to configure than a WDS arrangement).
However, if you have an older "b/g" AirPort Express, you must use the WDS configuration method with this device and the Time Capsule if you want to increase your wireless coverage.

Time Capsule can't set up as wireless network, but Airport Extreme works

I just bought a Time Capsule to use as a back-up hard drive and a wireless network. I currently have a Airport Extreme for my wireless network and it works fine. When I try to plug in the ethernet cable into the Time Capsule to set up a new wireless network - all I get is a blinking amber light on Time Capsule and Airport Utility can not find Time Capsule. When I plug the ethernet cable back into the Airport Extreme to see if my DSL is working - the Airport Extreme light is back on and I can connect to the internet. I updated the Time Capsule with the latest firmware so that's no it. Any ideas?

OK, thanks for the clarification.
First, make a note of the configuration settings in the Airport Extreme as you will likely set up the TC the same way. Open AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup at the bottom of the pane and then click on the Airport icon at the top of the next page, which is a summary of your settings. Would be a good idea to write these down and keep them handy.
Then do a hard reset on the Time Capsule to get it back to factory defaults. You would do this by first pulling the power cable for a few minutes. Then using an unfolded paper clip or something small, hold in the reset button on the back while you plug the power cable back in and continue to hold the reset button for at least 10-12 seconds before you release it.
Power off your computer, then restart. When it's back up, connect an ethernet cable from the computer to the WAN port on the back of the Time Capsule. This should help Airport Utility "see" the Time Capsule so you use Airport Utility to configure it.
If you have set up the Extreme, the TC set up is basically the same unless you have changed the modem or some other things in your network.
Post back on your progress.

Okay just got a 2TB Time Capsule and setup on my new 15" MacBook Pro and on work iMac. Can't connect remotely off network.

Both computers which I have connected to my work internet show Time Capsule under SHARED but when I click on it, it hangs on Connecting and then says Connection Failed after a few minutes. Clicking Connect As just restarts the process of Connecting... but with an error saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "Justin's Time Capsule". "The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP adress, check your network connection, and then try again".... Any help would be great, I've browsed a bunch of the the threads and can't figure it out!
Thanks in advance!

Reboot the TC.. this is common problem on Lion networking.
You may need to reboot the whole network.. don't know what your work network is so that might not be possible.. but a full reboot of the modem router TC and then clients in that order generally works..
See C17

The issue is very similar .. that is TM error but the problem is really the same.

Just updated to 10.8.1 and having trouble opening apps that work fine under 10.8

Just updated to 10.8.1 and can no longer use Dragon Dictate 2.5.2 (It won't open) or Alarm Clock 2.4.5 (Won't open) or LineIn 2.0.3 (not opening) and I haven't even tried other applications besides my browser.
Very frustrating as I have never had a problem with an update before. Also just noticed that my Time Machine seems to be stuck at 99 MB of 170 MB update.
Is it possible to go back by Time Machine to before I updated to 10.8.1?

Thank you. This solved everything but the DragonDictate issue. Every time I try to open it it just gives me the swirling lollipop of colors. Which makes me to have to force it to quit.
It was supposed to be ineffective with 10.8 (But it worked fine) but now with 10.8.1 if there is ever an upgrade how can I get it if it won't even open?
Thanks you for the help it was really valuable.
