I just purchased a time capsule 1TB and the installation instructions don't really say weather I have to run a ethernet wire from my modem or will simply plugging it in run it....wire or not? sorry folks I'm a bit of a computer illerate

Question Do I have to wire the time capsule to my modem or will it perform wirelessly . I am just using it for everyday backup thanks community

A Time Capsule is a combination wireless router and server grade hard drive. You can get rid of your existing wireless router if you want and replace it with the Time Capsule. This way you can use the same wireless network for your Internet access and for your Time Machine backups done wirelessly in the background via the same wireless network.

Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk. Where do you find the serial number on the disk? What should the serial number start with? The disk was in the original box and I see a number that start with 910.....
The box was in a brown envelope and there is barcode sticker on the back with more numbers. Where should I look for the actual serial number.

Wireless printing with time capsule 1tb and new wireless all in one printer

I am having problems with printing wirelessly from my time capsule 1tb. I currently have a hp 5510v office all in one printer and drivers can not be found to support printing wirelessly however it can print via usb. What I need is help in picking out a new all in one printer that can print wirelessly from time capsule 1tb. Please help

Hi,
my hp photosmart C6180 all in one works flawlessly with it plugged in to my time capsule all functions.
I used to have it set up using it wirelessly from the printer however for some reason after a update (i think) it stopped working & would not print so had to plug in to time capsule.

I've started getting pop-under ads every time I launch Firefox, and the uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

In the past couple of weeks, every time I launch Firefox, a full-size pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of what site I'm browsing.
The original ad was for a You Tube survey, and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there's a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they don't mention what ad-on is controlling the ads, and I can't work out what's responsible for the ads from my very basic range of ad-ons.
The reason I'm writing is that the ads have progressed from annoying but harmless, to dangerous. The ad today was designed as a warning pop-up, text reads, "Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required. Fatal Registry Error ... click "Repair All" to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the above.
I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of malware advertising on dodgy websites, but I'm getting them when I try to access hotmail, the news, etc, so it's not the website that's causing them.

Found the source using Microsoft Safety Scanner on a full scan. The culprit was a Trojan:Win32/Sirefef!cfg

I just got a time capsule 2TB and was told at the apple store I could partition it into two separate 1TB drives (one for backups and the other as an external HD for my iTunes library....everytime i try it says permission denied

I want to put my itunes library on my time capsule as external storage to free up space on my computer. How do i partition or create a disk image or do whatever it is i need to do so that my itunes library runs directly off my time capsule and is separate from the time machine backup?

Not sure what the guys were smoking in the Apple store but you have never been able to partition a TC.
See Pondini for doing disk images.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Note very carefully.. if you move your itunes library to the TC.. apple have specific instructions for moving libraries.. you must follow it precisely...
The TC has no way to back itself up.. and TM cannot backup a network drive.
Any corruption of the drive will cause you to lose your itunes library.. please do not ignore this. I have fixed a fair number of TC for people who lost their 200GB plus itunes library.. you should see the sweat pour off their faces.

Extending Network With Skh HD, Time Capsule 1TB and Airport Express

Hi,
I'm struggling to achieve what I thought to be an easy setup process.
*What I want to achieve?:*
* Ground Floor - Sky HD Router with Sky Wireless Network & Time Capsule 1 TB(choice to connect Time Capsule by either WAN Ethernet or over wi-fi?)
* First Floor - IMac and MacMini connected wirelessly, along with Airport Express to extend wireless network
* Loft - Apple TV connected to Cinema setup, with need to be able to connect to Sky HD Wireless network
Note/Problenms: It doesn't appear to be possible to extend the Sky HD Wireless Network via Time Capsule using the wireless option? Error reads "not able to extend wireless network etc...". Secondly, as a result the WiFi signal in the Loft for the Apple TV HD is 50% approx. The download speeds for movies etc is also sufficiently slow that repeat buffering is required. Not ideal.
*Current Setup:*
* Ground Floor - TC connected to Sky HD Router via WAN Ethernet cable. Creating New Network, named exactly the same as the original Sky HD Wireless Network e.g. "SKY08323"
* First Floor - IMac and MacMini connected wirelessly to SKY08323 network. Airport Express connected wirelessly to same network.
*Possible Enhancement?*
I've tried a couple of times to extend the range of the Wireless network. I First tried to do this as explained by extending the Sky HD Router network wirelessly (not possible it seems). I then connected via Wan Ethernet and setup TC and AirPort Express to interact over a WDS. TC = Main Base Station and AirPort Express = Relay Station. This seemed to setup ok but once both were restarted both TC and AE were flashing Amber and AE was no longer visible in Airport Utility.
If someone would be kind enough just to outline a step by step approach for setting up my Sky Network and being able to extend it via TC and AE, then I would be really grateful.
Many thanks and Happy New Year!
Eugene

As you have surmised, you will NOT be able to extend the wireless range of your Sky HD Router with the Time Capsule (TC) ... at least not wirelessly.
You basically have two options: 1) Run Ethernet between the ground floor and the loft, or 2) Consider deploying Powerline adapters. These adapters take advantage of your home's electrical circuit to create a pseudo Ethernet one.
In either case, the two routers would be interconnected by Ethernet and the TC could be place in the loft. You would then reconfigure the TC as a bridge to allow the Sky router to continue to provide both the NAT & DHCP services for all network clients regardless of which router they are connected to. In addition, you would configure the TC to use the same Network Name & wireless security type so that, for example, you could roam with a wireless laptop between floors and still be on the "same" network.

Just purchased my i pod nano and the battery is low, How do I charge it?

I have just purchased my ipad nano, and have no idea how it charges? I know Im so computer dumb! But is it the cord that you use to sinc your ipod that charges it? Please help?

Yes - just plug it into a USB port on your computer, or if you've got a wallplug from a previous iPod you can use the cable with that. There is more info on charging Nano's here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3215

The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page with my downloadable list of songs. How do you down load a purchase? I have made 3 purchases of the same song and can not down load it and the HELP instructions don't help.

The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page listing my purchase.
The HELP instructions list that such a button must be clicked to down load an item.
I have made 3 purchases of the same song in an attempt to download it.
Only one of those purchases appears on the page that list purchases available to down load.
I wrote out a copy of the HELP page instructions (the page can't be printed) so I could accurately follow it as I tried to do the down load.
Is there some secret to downloading a purchase or causing the down load button to appear?

Hello L Swarz,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when downloading your purchased song to your iPod nano.
I am not sure if you have tried these specific steps, but I recommend downloading the purchased song to iTunes on your computer using the steps in the following article:

I have two time capsules (1TB, 2TB) and want to use one for another set of Macs (my Family). How do I set both up and keep all the Macs from joining both Time Capsules?

I Have two Time Capsules (1TB and 2TB) and want to set one for business and the other for family - networking seperate Macs to each.

Both should be plugged into the network with ethernet.. if at all possible.
If you have a router already then both bridged otherwise one set to router and one to bridge.
How do you access the TC? Ethernet or wireless?
Are they located in the same area?
You could set different wireless networks.. if they use wireless.. this is nice easy way to do it.
You can set user account in the TC you want the business one to join with.. that will prevent access by the family.
So there is a number of ways.. none are particularly secure btw.. the TC is a home not a business device.. if anybody wants access they press the reset for one second.. pofff all the passwords are default for 5min.. to allow people who forget their password to get access.
On ML you can encrypt TM backups.. this is better for security if that is the problem.. and still use different user profile to prevent access.

Just set up Time Capsule and imac is backed up. Can I back up ipad and iphone too? If so, how do I do it?

Just bought AirPort Time Capsule (2TB) and my imac 10.7.5 is backed up.
Can I back up the information on my iphone and ipad - both are iOS 7.1.2?
On AirPort Utility I am not able to open other Wi-Fi Devices. TC indicates ipad and iphone are wireless clients.
Not sure what I do. Thanks.

iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your computer....or....to iCloud, if you have enabled that option.
If you have a Mac and have Time Machine backups enabled, then the iPhone and iPad backups stored in iTunes on the Mac are backed up to the Time Capsule.
In other words, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule, if you have Time Machine enabled. They do not back up directly to the Time Capsule.
For more information on iOS backups, please see this Apple Support document:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Or, you might want to post in the iPhone and iPad support communities.....where the iPhone and iPad experts hang out.

Time Capsule: PC and Wireless on different IPs

(Apologies if this has been answered recently, but I've used Search and gone manually through 10-15 pages and didn't see an answer)
I just purchased a Time Capsule and have it successfully setup with my desktop PC via Ethernet cable. I also have a new Macbook Pro 17 and older MBA. The Time Capsule is clearly creating a wireless network which my various Macs can access. The PC can clearly see the Time Capsule as an external hard drive and Internet connectivity is fine.
The problem is that the PC appears to be on a different IP address than my wireless router, meaning that I can't share my iTunes collection across my computers.
How do I get my PC onto the same IP address as the general wireless network created by the Time Capsule?
For background, I'm using a Comcast cable modem with a known fixed IP address, but I was unable to have success using Bridge mode, so I used share a Public IP.
Thanks,
Chris

I have a similar but sort of in reverse. I have set up my Mac Air via ethernet and would like to get my PC to do a backup as well to Time Capsule. I have put the airport utility on my PC and it recognizes the TC. How do i tell it to backup since I don't have something like Time Machine on the PC?
