I want to setup the time capsule on one network but use it on another

I want to back up all my music onto a time capsule, but take the time capsule to different location so that I may have my music there as well.
Can I do this?

You will almost certainly have to re-configure the Time Capsule to work on the "other" network, but the data on the hard drive will not be affected when you do this.

    I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter).  I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
    What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
    Any help much appreciated!

    In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
    Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
    Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
    Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
    Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

  • Is the "Airport Utility" required to run in the background if I want to access the Time Capsule's HD?

    Hey there,
    I recently purchased a Time Capsule and want to use it for Backups and as an external HD to store files. The setup was easy and it's working so far. Except for one thing:
    Whenever I close the "Aiport Utility" on my Mac, I won't be able to connect to my Time Capsule's HD via Finder anymore. As soon as I start "Aiport Utility" again, everything is back to normal and I can access the HD.
    So my question is pretty simple: Do I have to constantly run the "Airport Utility", to gain access to the HD of the Time Capsule?
    If so, I think that's inconvenient.
    Thanks for your help

    I'm running Yosemite. I already did some research about this topic and I'm obviously not alone with this problem.
    I also stumbled upon this thread of yours: Airport Utility cannot find Time Capsule ("device not found")
    I tried some of the things, but unfortunately so far without any success. Guess we'll just have to wait for the upcoming OSX update.

  • HT201250 How to backup the Time Capsule to an external drive using Time Machine?

    Most of my data is on my Time Capsule since the hard drive on my iMac is too small for my music/movies/pictures and also so multiple devices can wirelessly access the data. I want to back up the files from my iMac and the Time Capsule on an external hard drive using the Time Machine. However, it seems that the Time Machine ignores the Time Capsule as a data source. How can I get this to work?

    No, I don't believe this solves your problem.
    TIme Machine can be used with a Time Capsule as a backup solution from connected macs and their drives but not from network drives, NAS or Time Capsules.
    Thus, if you store files for LAN access on a TC internal drive, and want to back them to the USB/external drive attached to that TC, you cannot use Time Machine to do so.
    Time Machine has not way of backing up ANY Time Capsule or NAS or WInPC or other networked drive, as far as I can tell. You will have to use some other backup software.
    This is exactly what I bought the TC for myself (tried to use the internal drive on the TC as a NAS for my LAN, storing my music and photos and documents and bought a LaCie 2TB USB3 extneral drive to connect to the TC and hoped to be able to use Time Machine to backup the internal drive to the LaCie drive....but this does not work, as TM cannot backup from a network drive or TC device.

  • Can I stream things directly from the time capsule to my AppleTv without using my computer?

    I have an older MacBook and I'm worried about the storage so I want to get things moved to a Time Capsule.  I was just wondering if I can stream things directly from the Time Capsule to the AppleTV without having to store them in iTunes on my computer and play them off of there.

    You cannot stream from a TC .. it is not a media device.. you can store movie files on the TC but you still need to run the computer to play them.
    Depending on how you connect this can cause dramatic slowdowns.
    A WD Live TV can play raw movie files from a TC.. because it is not a media streamer which is all the ATV is, it is a full media player.

  • Can't get the Time Capsule to load on PC using Windows 7

    How do I restart Time Machine? I had a temporary Wi Fi Internet connection, but now the front light just flashes amber, and no Wifi and it it doesn't recognize the Time Capsule even after I did a reset. Do I restart from scratch?

    Time Machine is backup software on a Mac computer not the hardware item, Time Capsule.. which is merely a hard disk inside a router.
    Plug the computer directly to the TC by ethernet. Set the wireless manually to a fix channel and use different wireless names for 2.4 and 5ghz so you know exactly what it is connected to.
    When you change the wireless name (ssid) and it should then show up in the computer list of wireless networks.

  • HT1145 I am setting up my Time Capsule for the first time, all of my connections are right but, AirPort is not recognizing the Time Capsule or my network!

    I am setting up my Time Capsule for the first time, all of my connectiions are correct but, AirPort Utility is not recognizing my Time Capsule or my network?

    Try connecting your iMac to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable to see if that allows AirPort Utility to "see" it.

  • Can I (or How can I) chain two Time Capsules on one network for two Macs?

    Currently we have one dual-band TC connected to our cable modem. Mac 1 backs up to it. I also have an original TC (one-band) that I would set to 5GHz dedicated for Mac 2.
    Would this plan work and provide Backup and Internet to both machines?
    Cable Modem --->TC1--->TC2
    Mac 1 would connect to TC1 for Time Machine function and Internet Access.
    Mac 2 would connect to TC2 for Time Machine function and Internet Access.
    (---> = Ethernet cable)

    No changes needed on TC1, but you may need to use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to note a few of the settings on TC1, such as the exact type of security that it is using now since that information will be used to configure TC2.
    Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on TC1 to the WAN port (circle icon) on TC2*. Open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup and TC2 should appear. If not, you'll need to "hard reset" TC2 by holding in the reset button until the amber light begins to blink more quickly, hold another few seconds when you see this and then release
    Click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to name your device, assign a device password and set Time Zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as TC1 network**
    No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended unless you plan to add more wireless device to extend the network
    Radio Mode = 802.11n only 5 GHz
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Same setting as TC1
    Wireless Password = Same password as TC1
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings and let TC2 restart. Then power down the entire network. Power up the modem first, then TC1, then TC2, then each device one at a time. Allow a moment or two for each device to fully power up before you start the next.
    *When the TC is in Bridge Mode, it really makes no difference which port you use to connect, as they all behave the same. I use the WAN port as a habit for connections like this so that I know at a glance where the connection is coming from. But, you could connect to one of the LAN ports on TC2 if you prefer.
    **Assign a different name than TC1 if you want to log on separately to the network that TC2 provides
    Be sure to setup Mac2 to backup to TC2 for Time Machine and you should be all set.

  • How to set up time capsule with existing network that uses airport express/extreme

    I have an existing wirelss network using airport express. I want to upgrade to time capsule and use the A/P express upstairs. I dont want to delete the existing network.

    I suggest to use your airport express to extend your wireless network that is created by your new time capsule

  • Is it possible to set up Time Capsule on one network and then access its stored data (movies) using Back to My Mac from another network that also has Apple TV to play them?

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule to store data at my office.  I have an Apple TV at my home that I would like to start using to play my movies.  With the storage of the new Time Capsule, I am curious if I can somehow store my iTunes movies on the Time Capsule at my office and then use Back to My Mac to access the TC from my home and then play them via Apple TV.  Does this sound possible?  We have an iMac at the office that remains on 24/7 connected to the TC.

    ATV cannot play movies from the TC, even if it is on your home network.. ATV is a streamer.. it is not a media player.. and the TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router.. so it has nothing in it either.
    You cannot play movies from ATV without itunes, which streams to the ATV.
    If the iMac is running 24/7 then you should be able to connect to the iMac remotely and run from iTunes on that, which could then play movies stored on the TC.. with the following issues.. if you use wireless on the iMac forget it. The iMac has to be ethernet connected as it has to pick up the movie on the library and play it back to the TC to network to your home.
    The next issues is speed of slowest connection.
    Your download to your home maybe great.. what is the upload speed from your office like??
    If you pay for uploads and downloads you will pay for the movie 3x.. first to download it.. second to upload it.. office to net..  and third to download it again.. net to home..  Sorry but it is better to play the movie directly from online itunes store.
    If you plan to try and play non-itunes movies over the connection, it won't work.. ATV as stated is linked to itunes and cannot play movie files.
    Overall this sounds like you need to think it out a bit more.

  • Time Capsule disappears from network, but still routes. Forced to reboot.

    My Time Capsule (approx 3 months old) operating properly for about 2 months, routing and Time Machine for 2 Macs.
    Recently it has started disappearing from the network, Airport Util and Time Machine. After a reboot, everything will appear fine, but after a 5-15 days or so, it will just vanish again. It will still route network traffic just fine, but is not accessible.
    7.5.1
    WPA2 Personal
    1 USB printer attached
    Internet is standard sharing, no DHCP issues
    TC disk is available and working
    Only odd things:
    I did play around with the workgroup on the TC a few times, as Windows comps were having major problems talking to eachother. No longer an issue (winpc's off network) and should not be related.
    In the DHCP clients list, there are 2 IPs assigned to clients with the name of the Time Capsule. They both have MAC addresses too (huh?). All other machines connected to the network are accounted for already. I'm assuming this is some function of the TM backup process, as the TC is backing up 2 machines on that network.
    I have not tried a hard reset yet, but if this happens again (4 times now, I'm sure it will happen again) I will hard reset and see what happens. I just don't see any reason it should vanish after a week.

    you could be suffering from wireless interference.
    perhaps one of your neighbor's wireless networks is interfering with yours. download iStumbler and note the channels other networks in the vicinity are broadcasting on.
    change the channel your network is using as far away as possible from those.

  • Is it possible to setup the time capsule as an external hard drive (wireless)

    Hi, I have purchased a time capsule and looking to use it to automatically backup my data but also would like to see it on my mac book pro as an external hard drive (wireless); is that possible????????????? if yes how???

    OK.. the TC is really designed for wired connection.
    There is a hidden option.. hold the option key, when you select wireless mode, to join a wireless network. This is hidden because it is poor.. you join the TC to the mifi myfy and then yes, you can access it over wireless network.. but it is now half the speed of direct access due to double hop wireless. The TC is also going to not allow access directly by wireless or ethernet. So the option is there .. it is hidden due to being bad.
    You will particularly notice what happens now is during backups your internet will crawl.. because you are saturating the local connection.
    If I was in your situation.. I would buy thunderbolt to ethernet adapter and plug directly into the TC.. or scrap the TC and plug directly into a hard disk. The TC now gains you nothing.. it is unsuited to this sort of network.
    But another solution is to buy USB wireless stick.. these are tiny things.. and cheap and plenty are Mac OS compatible. Plug it in and use it as a secondary wireless client.. with fixed IP you can now connect directly to the TC .. single hop wireless.. much faster and no interference on the myfi link.
    You also don't have another wire plugged into your laptop which is messy.
    OR
    Scrap the myfy for a proper 3G router with ethernet.. you can usually just swap the sim over.. this is a much better solution as you put the TC back to its native correct operating mode..
    Well there are some possible solutions.

  • I wanted to display the multiple rows in one row but column should be diff

  • Issues with two time capsules in one network

    I have two time machines in my environment and issues with dropped connections.
    As long as I use only my iMac or Apple MacBook Pro the connections work 90% of the time, I do have some issues with dropped (afp/smb) connections and unable to reconnect every now and then.
    However, invariably when I connect a windows machine to the network both time machine connections just die, including the internet connection, I had to restart one of the time machines in order to reconnect. I do have a Guest Network and connecting the windows machine to that network does not affect the time machines availability.
    Is having two time machines in the environment not supported?
    Why do I experience these drops in connections to the online disks?
    Why can't I have a mixed environment (win/mac) connect to the time machines at the same time?
    One time machine is the AP and the other one is just extending that network.
    I have seen issues in the following scenarios
    Copying large amounts of data from iMac to time machine
    Copying large amounts of data from one time machine to the other
    Connecting a windows computer to the network
    Any ideas?

    Yes
