Hi,
I want to install a new Time Capsule for backups. I also have a B box2 from Belgacom for the digital TV, so how do I install?
Just setup the TC in bridge.
Assuming you are using Lion.. download the airport utility that has some utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Then manual setup, internet tab, connection sharing.. off bridge mode.
Then plug the TC into the Bbox and just use it as wireless target for your air.
You can use wireless on Bbox if that works as well, and you might need to juggle wireless channels to get everything working. Having both set to auto is not a good idea.. set and lock channels on one or the other but best is both.. On the TC go to the airport wireless page. change it to manual.. lock the channel. You can use 1, 6, 11 or 13 in ETSI..

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. -
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you? If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose. -
How do I use Back to My Mac with a new Time Capsule if I don't have a MobileMe account?
I just got a new time capsule and I'm trying to set it up so that I can remotely access the files when I'm at work/on the go etc. Now I have an iCloud account, but I don't have a MobileMe account. I do have an @me.com address because I enabled Mail thru the iCloud pref pane and I setup the @me.com email address but I'm still not able to use back to my mac.
I am running the latest fully updated version of lion on the latest model air, working with a 2TB 4th gen time capsuleSee the following:

I have a wireless modem just want time capsule to backup do I have to use Ethernet cable
I just bought time capsule to wirelessly backup since I never remembered to connect my old system that stopped working. If I just plug it in will my Mac see it or do I have to have the time capsule connected to the modem/wireless router in the house?
Our recommendation would be to follow the instructions in the Time Capsule Setup Guide to connect the Time Capsule to your modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection.
If you have plenty of time to experiment, and do not become frustrated easily, you might be able to configure the Time Capsule to connect using wireless only. But, even if you succeed with the setup, there are some serious downsides here:
1) This type of configuration is not officially supported by Apple
2) Backups will take twice as long as normal due to a "double hop" connection that must occur during backups.
"Hop one" would the wireless connection between the Mac and your modem/router. "Hop two" would be the signal traveling back again from the modem/router to the Time Capsule.
3) In addition to taking twice as long as normal, the chances of an error occurring during a backup are doubled.
Since this type of backup is VERY SLOW, you would want to allow a full day or two for the first backup of your Mac to the Time Capsule. The same backup using a wired Ethernet connection would probably take a 2-3 hours.
The bottom line here is that this is perfect example of a situation where the fact that you might be able to do something does not in any way imply that you should do it.
But, it's your decision. -
Hi there,
I ordered a mac Air and now looking into the possibilities to have a nice mediacenter / network setup.
Already searched the net but mostly finding posts about older airs, apple tv and tc's. Some of them not very positive as in the tc in combination with the air being slow etc.
What advise can you people give me in this?
Any input is highly appreciated!Hi there,

I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
Thank you.Hello,
Full installers can always be downloaded here:

I am assuming you went to this page:

I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages". -
iMac 10.5.8 ... Time machine died. Bought new Time Capsule2TB. Ordered 10.6 ... Not recommended to install 10.6 w/o prebackup ... Current utility for airport won't do with the new Time Capsule. ... What to do?
You are in the typical catch22.. you cannot use the TC without setting it up.. you cannot set it up without Lion.. so you can install the latest utility.
Do you have any reasonably current iOS devices.. they can run the iOS version of the utility.. that will allow you to set up the TC.
Or invite a friend with a laptop running at least Lion
Or take the TC back and get a plain USB hard drive and backup to that. -
Tips on Installing a new Time Machine??
I just upgraded to a iMac 27 and also purchased a 2TB Airport Time Capsule. I'm wanting to use this new Time Capsule as my Time Machine device and replace my previous 1TB external drive. Is there a best way to do that? Can I keep my old Time Machine backup and somehow tranfer it to the new Time Machine or do I just start afresh with the the Time Capsule? Please advise the best way to transition my Time Machine backup to the new external drive.

I THINK so (I am not 100% certain, I use Time Machine with a direct FireWire connection). I am not going to guess and mislead you.
However, I might use an ethernet cable to to speed the initial copying does that make the new Time Capsule a local?
Again I cannot give you a definitive answer, but just do it. A full wireless backup will take a long time.
If you run into problems post back. If need be, I may be able to commandeer assistance.

New Time Capsule... real problems setting up!
Hello!
Well.. here goes. Hoping some of you guys out there will be able to help!
Went and decided to treat myself to a Time Capsule yesterday seen as my small ext-hd i was using for backup is now full and only holds about a fortnights worth of back ups.
I tried for several hours last night to get it to work, unfortunately it didnt work.
I first tried the 'join existing network' and i set it up, only to get to the restart point and the system never found my time machine again.
I then did a full reset of it, and tried again, except this time choosing to 'replace existing network' - got all set up, and the same again - cannot find after restart/update of settings.
So i finally tried to create new network, got the green light, but then no internet.
I've gone through all the steps again today and i'm getting really annoyed now, very tempted to return to the shop!
My current set up that works is:
Cable broadband > Modem > Wireless Linksys WRT54GS Router.
I then connect wirelessly from my Mac (OS X Snow Leopard) to the web, and this works fine.
My current ext-HD is simply connected via firewire.
I was hoping to use the new time capsule to backup wirelessly, (with alot more storage!) and share my printer wirelessly, with the added benefit of possibly using the time capsule as a replacement router.
I've tried doing software update and the like with airport, but with no luck.
If anyone could help me get this set up right it would be much appreciated!
Many Thanks.Have you powered your cable modem down for at least 25-30 minutes before you attempt to use it with the Time Capsule?
Cable modems need a complete reset whenever the device that they are connected to changes. Your modem is probably remembering your Linksys, so it will not provide the correct connection for the Time Capsule. -
I have a new Time Capsule, want to use it in conjunction with an iMac G5 and a MacBook. MacBook runs Snow Leopard, but G5 (lacking Intel processor) can't install Snow Leopard, is stuck at OS 10.4.11. Am I doomed? Will appreciate any advice. Thanks.
you should still be able to get a copy of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), which should run on your G5.

i am setting u a new time capsule. i already have a wifi setup in my office. now i want to use this time capsule just as a wireless backup machine. do i still need to attached a DSL cable, or it can connect to my existing wifi and start working ?
You probably can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are likely going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported. -
I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.
The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly. -
I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
a. wired?
b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for. -
I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not. Any idea what is wrong here and how I can reset my password. I don't have a start up disc. Thanks very much
From System Preferences/Help:
Reset your login password using your Apple ID
Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
Associate Apple IDs with your user account
Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
I don't know if it works.
