I set up my Time capsule with Apple Care

And i'd make a mistake about my password, because I had to it in one second. How I can find my password?

There is no applecare on the TC directly.. it is covered by applecare on the computer or device like ATV can cover it.
If you set a password and lost it, the easiest thing is to just do a soft reset.. ie hold reset for one second.. and all passwords revert to default for 5min to allow access.

  • Time Capsule with Apple Care?

    Hey guys,
    My girlfriend bought a mac three months ago along with the extended apple care. For her birthday, Im thinking of getting her a time capsule so she has everything backed up. I read on the time capsule site that it is covered under a mac warranty but I am a little confused by the wording.
    Will the time capsule I buy next month, be covered by the apple care that she currently has on her mac? (Runs out Nov 2014)
    Thanks

    I don't claim to be an expert on that subject, but as I understand it, a Time Capsule bought with a Mac that has AppleCare will be covered by AppleCare.  I"m not sure that applies to a Time Capsule bought later.  In any case, the one-year warranty would apply.

    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.

  • Is it possible to use Time Capsule with Apple TV? Without having our macbook pro, iPhones or iPads as middle link?

    Hi there.
    I wanted to buy a time capsule - But my big question is : Is it possible to use the time capsule with Apple Tv ( Newest generation.) without having an Iphone, Ipad or mac as middlelink?
    So if I example want to have all our music and dvds on the Time Capsule and watch/hear it on my TV. Do I have to have one of our macbook pro's started up to get it to work?
    Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.. ? Hehe.
    Best Regards
    Christian

    But then I can have all dvds and music on a time capsule and then run it via itunes on my mac and from there to the apple tv
    Yes, if you move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule.
    But.....if you move the iTune Media Folder to the Time Capsule.....how are you planning to back up this important data? 
    (You will lose everything in the Media Folder when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you do not have a backup copy.)
    A much safer plan would be to keep the iTunes Media Folder on your Mac.....or add another hard drive connected to the Mac and move the Media Folder to that drive.
    Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and and hard drive.  So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.

  • Using time capsule with apple tv

    How do I set up my time capsule to work with apple tv w/o partitioning... Drop and drag.

    TC and Apple TV do not work together at all.
    Apple TV is totally linked to itunes..
    TC is not a media server... it is a dumb hard disk in a router.
    TC cannot play files to the ATV.. ATV cannot play files from the TC.

  • Time Machine set up on Time Capsule with data already on it

    I've had a Time Capsule for a while, using it with my Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4. I put a lot of data on it including my entire iTunes library. I just got a new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5. Now I want to set up Time Machine. Can I do this on a Time Capsule with data already on it? I haven't given it a try because I don't have the data on the TC backed up (I know I need to fix that). TM won't require me to erase the volume first will it?

    I discussed this issue with Apple Care at one point in the past when I was considering doing something similar to you.  They informed me that Apple does NOT recommend or support using Time Machine over a network (ethernet) connection.  They said Time Machine was not designed for it.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I set up my time capsule with my PC and BT home hub

    Hi, I really need help.
    I have a new time machine I am having trouble setting up. I have a BT Home Hub that I have hard wired to the TC to the WAN port. I have Connected my PC to the Ethernet port. The PC will not find the TC.
    I also need to Wi-Fi attach other laptop PCs to it.
    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?
    Ade.

    You might have an IP collision ..
    unplug the wan connection to the home hub..
    Restart the Time Capsule with a single ethernet connection to a pc plugged into its LAN port.
    Make sure the pc is getting an ip address. Open airport utility and see if you can now access the TC.. !
    When you say PC do you mean windows machine?
    Windows can have some issues accessing the TC.. especially if you have the windows computer on win7 running homegroup.. which is a wretched piece of incestous connection between win7 exclusively.

  • Connecting to time capsule with apple tv

    I am trying to figure out how to access the content on my time capsule with my apple tv.

    I assume that you have your iTunes Media folder located on the Time Capsule.
    If so, enable Home Sharing on the iTunes host computer. Do the same for the Apple TV and the media folder content on the TC will become available.

  • How do i set up my time capsule with windows

    How do I set up my airport time capsule using Windows 7 home premium?

    If you have the newest AC model TC.. you might be in trouble. Apple specifically state you need v6 airport utility. They do not provide v6 with windows.. only Mac and iOS. If you happen to have iphone, ipad even itouch, you can download and install the airport utility and use that.. you just cannot do the setup from windows.

  • What is the best way to set up my time capsule with Existing Uverse

    Hello,
    I have read through some of the threads regarding the co-existence of Uverse and a time capsule. But it all seems very advanced to me. Here is what I'm wanting to do.
    I currently have Uverse. I have the box in my living room attached to a wall outlet, via Ethernet. I have 3 TVs, all with Uverse boxes. Wirelessly, I have several devices connected to the Wifi at any given time. An iMac, 2 iPads, a MacBook Air, 3 iPhones, Apple TV, an XBox and 2 smart TVs.
    So my Uverse Wifi pretty much stinks. It's not bad right in the livingroom where the box is, but in my bedroom and office it's pretty poor. When I try to watch Apple TV in the bedroom I end up watching a lot of spinning as it waits to connect:(
    I was told at the Apple Store that a time capsule could help with that in addition to creating a back up of my computers. Excellent! So I purchased it. But here is my issue. My main iMac, the newest computer with the most up to date software, is in my office. But my Uverse equipment is in the living room with the TV. So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule? Because they are rooms away from each other:( Is ther any way someone can take me through this step by step like setup for dummies?:) I would be so grateful!
    Thanks!!

    So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
    I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
    The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
    If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
    If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
    That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless.  A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
    At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
    Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

  • Setting up a Time Capsule with port forwarding

    Our old AirPort Extreme station hit EOL, so we decided to upgrade it to a Time Capsule. Along the way, we're trying to also set it up with a separate guest network and port forwarding/NAT, however we're having trouble setting it up so that the time capsule is handling the DHCP leases instead of the router. We've got DSL through Verizon through a Westell modem/router to the Time Capsule. Done the RTFM thing, and we haven't been able to get it to work. Can anyone explain how to get things set up properly for this configuration?

    however we're having trouble setting it up so that the time capsule is handling the DHCP leases instead of the router.
    If you have a router ahead of the Time Capsule, you would want to configure the Time Capsule as a "bridge", using Bridge Mode to allow things to work correctly on your network. You don't want two devices handling DHCP on a home network. This will cause slowdowns and IP address conflicts on your network.
    In order for the Time Capsule to act as the DHCP server for your network, you will need to connect it to a simple modem (one port), not another router or gateway with 3-4 ethernet ports.

  • Time Capsule with Apple TV - Connectivity problem

    I excanged my Airport Extreme to a Time Capsule. I copied all settings of the Air port Extreme as suggested by the installation process of the time capsule. Now my Apple TV does not work with eathernet anymore. Apple TV shows that it has a connection but the port on time capsule where the cable is connected to Apple TV is not illuminating. What is the problem?

    You need to tell us a bit more..
    But the whole network should be..
    Modem---TC in router mode .. wireless and wired clients.
    or
    Modem/Router----TC in bridge mode... wireless and wired clients.
    How was the Airport setup?
    I recommend you redo the setup and not use the setup from the airport. Start again and run the setup so you have the TC in the right mode.
    If you use Lion.. download and install the 5.6 airport utility (just ignore v6.. the two can live side by side).. 5.6 is a real utility.. a tool. .v6 is a toy.

  • How do i set up my time capsule with actiontec q1000/century link dsl

    how do i port forward, etc

    The Actiontec Q1000 is a modem/router, so it is the Actiontec that would be the device that would need to be setup for port forwarding....not the Time Capsule.
    Please contact your ISP or Actiontec for information on how to set up port forwarding on the Q1000.
    The Time Capsule would be in Bridge Mode, meaning that ports are already open, so it will simply pass the settings that it receives from the Actiontec through to connected devices.

  • Time capsule and apple care?

    I bought a time capsule 2 months ago when I moved knowing I would buy a macbook, which I just ordered the other day.
    I noticed on the time capsule page that apple care for the mac covers the time capsule. Will it still cover it even though I bought the time capsule before I bought the macbook?

    call em and ask...but I doubt it.

  • Setting up a Time Capsule with Verizon Wireless Router

    I am trying to set up my TC with a Verizon Wiresless Router.  I wish to use the TC's wiresless signal and shut off the Verizon signal (can do).  I plugged the TC via ethernet, into port 2 on the verizon router and in the WAN connection on the TC.  I am getting a blinking amber light. No idea where to go, I cannot access the TC via my iMac and the ethernet port on the iMac doesn't work (broken since new!)  Help much appreciated.  I will want to use the TC to back up the iMac and two macbooks. THANK YOU!

    Ok, I found the TC on the iMac after restarting the airport utility!
