    can ethernet ports be used for windows pc as a LAN so that i can share all documents through it?

    The current 27-inch iMac can. Other iMac models can't outside of a VNC setup or ScreenRecycler; all such solutions require a standalone monitor for setup and troubleshooting.

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

  • Apple TV & Time Capsule's Hard Drive Used for iTunes Media Only !

    I would like to use the Time Capsule Hard Drive just for my iTunes. Not Time Machine. Time Capsule will be my Wireless Base Station (router) as well. But I'm going to plug my Mac Mini into the Time Capsule via Gigabit Ethernet. Will this work & how well (fast) will it stream the media from my iTunes to the Apple TV? I'm not synching any files on the Apple TV's Hard Drive. All Video & Music will be streaming! I know this is not what Time Capsule was intended for, but will it work & again, how well will it stream ? Is there a downside to setting it up this way ? Also, I'm not buying any Movies from the iTunes store. Thanks in advance!

    OK, so having my Mac & TC hardwired by Ethernet, is like having the Hard Drive inside the TC hard wired to my Mac? Correct ? I'm sorry to repeat myself but I'm just trying to understand all this. I'm bad with Networking! So you think I should be streaming OK even with watching a movie I have in iTunes (which lives on the TC Internal Hard Drive) on my Apple TV? My Apple TV will be used Wirelessly. No Ethernet to Apple TV. Again, I appreciate the help. I don't want to buy it & find I can't do what I want. B&H in NY have the older TC 500 GB Model for $199.95 And I have a crappy router currently. So I figure I can kill 2 birds with one stone.( I love Birds. It's just an expression! If it works, it would be ideal for my situation.

  • HT4259 Airport Express Ethernet port used for home entertainment?

    I use my Airport Express to extend my network with my 2TB TimeCapsule base station. The Airport Express has one ethernet port. Can I buy some other device with say 3 or 4 ethernet ports and plug it into the one ethernet port on the AP Express to connect all my home entertainment devices? What should I buy if this can work?

    As long as you are talking about the N version of the Express.. what is often called Gen1.. then any switch will do the job. The express is only 100mbit.
    The cost of network switch is $20-40 depending on the number of ports and if it is older 10/100 or gigabit.. IMHO buy 8 port gigabit.. any brand you want,, they are much the same.. metal case ones are nicer than plastic.. but they are cheap consumer item in any computer store.
    If you buy what I suggest, it will be useful well into the future.. the slower 5 port is cheaper but the usefulness of it into the future is questionable..

  • Time Capsule and Ethernet port

    hey guys,
    I recently bought a time capsule, and stupidly enough, forgot that Time Capsule only has ethernet jacks- the problem is that my home only has a telephone modem jack. I was wondering if there were any Telephone to Ethernet jack converters?
    thanks in advance guys, plse help!

    OK, then you need a DSL modem which will have a phone connection coming in, and an ethernet (or if you're unlucky, USB) connection coming out. Unfortunately, as you've found, the Time Capsule doesn't have a built-in DSL modem. Did your DSL provider not supply you with one - they normally do?

  • HT2205 can isync be used for windows os mobile phone

    i got a mobile phone which run Windows os.  Can the said software be used for sync between the phone and Mac PC (os 10.7)?
    i get another Samsung mobile phone.  The Kier program, that released by Samsung, cannot find/connect the phone when using USB wire.  When using Wifi, the iCal cannot be sync.  What is a better soluction for this?

    The free one is on the Mark/Space website. I found it by:
    1>>Go to www.markspace.com
    2>>Click on PRODUCTS on the NaviBar
    3>>Below the "Choosing your phone for the Missing Sync", there is a bunch of links under the title PRODUCT SUPPORT. The last link (on the last line) of that bunch of links is FREE VERSION UPDATES.
    4>>I needed one for Windows Mobile. So I downloaded VERSION 3.1.0, and haven't used a serial code. It keeps asking me everytime I sync to get a serial, but I haven't. I just said "REGISTER LATER", and I have being getting away with it fine. I know it's illegal, but they offered it as a free version. Who can argue with that?
    (Don't answer that question!!)
    Hope this helps!

  • Time Capsule can't seem to recognize my HP DeskJet 5550?

    My HP DeskJet 5550 is supposedly on the list of supported printers for wireless printing when connected to my Time Capsule's USB port, but for some reason it refuses to recognize the printer. I have tried restarting both machines, going through both Airport Utility and System Preferences, installing the latest drivers as well as the Gutenprint and HPIJS drivers and tried to IP print manually to the Time Capsule- all to no avail. I've also contacted HP for support but they haven't been any help, surprise, surprise. Any more suggestions??

    Oh yeah, and I should probably add that the printer works perfectly if I connect it directly to my mac- just not via Time Capsule.
    Using the same USB cable? If you take the same printer and same USB cable and plug into the TC, it should work, if not, there is a great possibility of TC's USB port being faulty.
    Alternatively, the printer might support network printing, but I see your DJ 5550 listed here in the unofficial list:

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

  • How can I use my time capsule with Ethernet cable? How is it also possible to use time capsule as a normal external hard drive?

    My problem is that I don't know how to use my Time Capsule with Ethernet Cable, as when I use wireless it is really slow.

    Make sure that there is an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/wireless router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule
    Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the page
    Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off (I assume that you do not want the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network since you already have a wireless network)
    Next, click the Internet icon at the top of the screen, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click the Update button at the bottom and wait 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart and display a green light
    Then, you must power off your entire network...all devices....in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Start your modem/router first and let it run a minute
    Start the Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered up
    If you are using Time Machine for backups, you will need to reset the connection because you have changed the way in which the Time Capsule connects to your network
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backup or, it might be Use Disk
    Now you can connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to back up using Ethernet. Be sure to turn off the wireless on your Mac before you start the backup.
    If you want to backup using wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule and turn on the wireless and connect to your wireless network. Your computer will now backup using wireless.

  • I want to get comcast i want to use either my time capsule or air port as the gateway can i do that

    I'm thinking about getting comcast internet but I don't want to buy their modem can I use either my time capsule or air port as the gateway

    You can use a Time Capsule or any other AirPort Base Station for your wireless router, but you still need a modem.

  • I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

    I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

    A universal may work but reliability tends to be poor..
    You are much better using another airport .. extreme or express.. even a second hand older one.
    Or do not use wireless bridge or repeater.. simply run ethernet or use EOP adapters to a second WAP run independently of the main router.. it is far more reliable and far faster solution .. wireless bridge/repeater will halve your wireless speed.

  • I am not much of a computer technician. I bought a time capsule thinking I could use this for an external hard drive and keep my MAC hard drive free. Was I mistaken? One I back everthing up on the TC, can I delete everything off of my MAC?

    Once I back everything up on the TC, can I delete everything off of my MAC and then use my TC as my hard drive??
    TC was designed to backup your Mac. The TC literature is pretty clear about this:
    If your Mac's hard drive has a problem....it will sooner or later....you can use your backup on the TC to rebuild your Mac.
    But.....if you move all of your data to the TC from your Mac....you only have one version of that data now, and it is on the TC.
    Have you thought about what will happen when....not if....the TC has a problem?  Since the only version of your important data was on the TC, and the TC has failed......you lose all of your data.....because you have no backup.
    A much better plan would be to add a USB or FireWire hard drive and connect it directly to your Mac. Move the data on your Mac over to the hard drive.
    Then, the TC will backup both your Mac and the hard drive.  So, you have original data on on one drive and backups on another drive.
    That would be a minimum backup plan. Most of us have more than one set of backups.

  • I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3.  can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help, thanks.

    I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3.  can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help?  thanks

    Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
    To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
    Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
    Release the reset.
    Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
    The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
    This is version 5.
    Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
    Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
    Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
    Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
    Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
    If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots.

  • Using external hard drive on a Time Capsule as a network drive for PCs.

    I own a Macbook Air and am using a 2TB Time Capsule router. I am currently using for automatic backups for my Macbook Air.
    I also own 2 PC laptops for the rest of the family. Would it be possible to use an external hard drive connected to the USB port of the Time Capsule as a network drive for the PCs? I want to share files between the two PCs.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that.. although it is not necessarily as straight forward as you might think it should be.
    1. The TC has to be running SMB compatible names. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    2. The disk must be formatted to file system the TC can read. HFS+ or Fat32.. but the HFS+ is vastly superior.. the actual format is irrelevant from sharing point of view as it is still shared via SMB to the network.
    3. It is slow.. half the speed of the same drive plugged into your computer.. although if the connection is over wireless that is probably irrelevant.
    4. You might need a powered hub to get the drive to work.. Apple underpower the USB.. and even a powered disk still won't work.
    5. There are some issues with the TC getting the USB drive to work.. too many factors to say you will have issues or not.. but be aware this is not as straight forward as it could be. or should be.
    6. If you want to share files.. you can always share them directly.. pc to pc or pc to mac.. there is no necessity to do it via a network store.. You can also use the 2TB internal drive.. create a disk image and you can then store you data in that. Internal drive is much more reliable and faster.
