Is it possible to change setting on a airport time capsule from windows? open ports etc.

as above, need to know this. If this is not possible i can not buy it because that would mean I lock other users out of being able to configure ports and such.

Thanks for your answer! Then i can only hope they upgrade the aiport utility software on windows so it works on current version. Until then no purchase for me:(

  • Problem setting up an AirPort Time Capsule

    I am trying to link a new AirPort Time Capsule (2TB) to my iMac and MacBook Pro.
    While the machines 'recognise' the AirPort, neither can connect to it as the AirPort is not connecting to the WiFi.
    Do I need to link the AirPort to the modem directly (by ethernet cable) to set it up initially?
    If yes, can I then disconnect the AirPort form the modem and move it to another room where I want to use it?
    Thank you.

    Do I need to link the AirPort to the modem directly (by ethernet cable) to set it up initially?
    The Time Capsule needs to stay connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable at all times. Please refer to the illustration in your Setup Guide for the Time Capsule.
    Ethernet cabling can be run 330 feet, or 100 meters, with virtually no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule just about anywhere that you want.

  • HT1178 Setting Up new AirPort Time Capsule

    im setting up airport time capsule for the first time and its asking me to "Provide the PPPoE connection information from your ISP" Im not sure what to do? Where do i get this information?

    PPPoE connection information consists of your user name....likely your email address....and password for your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
    If you do not know this, then you will need to contact your ISP for the required information.

  • I am setting up my Airport Time Capsule 2TB + Apple TV + WD My Cloud 4 TB.

    Does anyone have experience in a similar set up where the WD will serve as a cloud storage (not Back-Up) and be accessed anywhere. Does anyone have any other suggestion for a better set up. I want to have a Back Up system for the Mac Laptops, and a Personal Cloud Storage. Will this set up be sufficient?

    There is no point posting in both discussion areas.. I answered it under Time Capsule.. double posting just makes it confusing.

  • Is It Possible To Change The SMS Alert/Reminder Time Intervals From Two Minutes?

    I like the reminder so I do not wish to turn it off, but two minutes is kind of annoying. 5 or 10 minutes is more comforting for me. Anyone?

    Can you disable it entirely? I don't need to be reminded I received a text, I heard it the first time :S

  • How do I set up my AirPort Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to my VisionNet modem?

        I'm trying to get my AirPort Time Capsule to work with my landline phone DSL company. They supply all customers with a VisionNet modem/router. My problem is getting the Capsule to work wirelessly with the VisionNet modem. I want to put the Capsule on the other end of the house so I have internet connectivity all around my house. I have no idea how to do this. Is there anyone out there who is tech savvy enough to help me? Your help and response will be truly appreciated.

    It will not work.. Apple routers cannot wirelessly extend other brands..
    You must plug the TC into the modem router with ethernet.. and put it in bridge mode. You can then get another apple router, like an express or extreme (or even another TC) to extend its wireless.
    This is fairly typical btw if you are thinking apple is being exclusivist.. well they are but the fact is wireless repeater (WDS is normal term), is not a standard and so every company does what is right in their own eyes.
    WDS is not cross platform.. you always need to stick to the same brands.. or use universal wireless repeaters. But these are not recommended as they are generally unreliable and have other impacts on the network.
    Run ethernet or use EOP (homeplug) adapters to connect the TC to the VisionNet modem.

  • How do you set up the airport + time capsule to a win XP and 7 machines?

    All my Apple products can connect just fine but none of my windows machines can access wirelessly. I tried different downloads but none of them seem to work any way for me to rectify this?

    For those who are running Windows and controlling the Airport Base Station with Airport for Windows.  Apple just came out with a firmware update for Airport Extreme (7.7.2).  It so happens that this Firmware version requires Airport Software version 6.3 or newer.  The Windows version only goes as high as Version 5.6 or so.  I was also told that Apple is unlikely to upgrade this software.  To make a long story short you need to control (Configure) your Airport Base Station with an iMac, or an iPhone or iPad with the Airport app.  This solved my problems.  Good Luck :)

    Hi,
    In Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use Regional Options Extension in Group Policy Preferences to configure the date and

  • 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.

  • I have 2 macs and 2 PC laptops in my home wireless network.  Can I use the Airport/Time Capsule hard drive to back up all 4 machines?  I know that I will have to use different back up software on the PCs, but is it possible over the wireless network?

    I have 2 macs and 2 PC (Windows 7) laptops in my home wireless network. (The iMac is hardwired via ethernet to the Airport/Time Capsule; the others are wireless connections using Airport).  I want to use the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule as a network backup drive for all 4 computers.  Is this possible?  Could someone help me by telling me how to configure it?  I know I will have to use different backup software in the 2 Windows 7 Laptops?  Do I need to use the Windows backup software, or can I use a third party program like Acronis True Image?  Thanks in advance for the help

    It is your fault, pondini.. all your fault.
    I read of all the things that go wrong restoring Time Machine backups.. particularly stupid things like mail, photo libraries don't go back.. etc. And looking through the incredible number of issues people have here, when their Mac finally takes a dive how hard it is to restore.
    I restored a test hard disk from a TC.. and it takes ages and ages to even make up its mind to start.
    I worked in computer support for ages, but not Macs.. so my experience is ghost.. ghost images.. on large commercial server setups, can stream restore to multiple computers at once.. even doing it computer by computer the image is simple as network boot to restore. But ghost went the way of Symantec.. sigh!! And was destroyed.
    A product like clonezilla, Free linux boot cd.
    http://lifehacker.com/5078397/clonezilla-backs-up-and-restores-your-disks
    Can backup a Hard disk in just about any format.. yet to try it on a Mac to a TC.. but I will. Boot from CD.. instead of your lost Lion partition which no longer exists (because the hard drive had to be replaced) and the DVD they no longer give you, and restore the entire hard disk in a couple of hours .. to the exact image at the point you made the clone.. in any format, with any partitions.
    My bet is that it will kill TM .. but you could be right.
    It is just the prospect of all those permission changes, photos and mail libraries etc that worry me.

  • I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

    I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?  Also, how do I add co-workers to my work time capsule and wife to my home time capsule?  Thank you!

    You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
    You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
    The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

  • How can I change the settings in my time capsule to support UPnP?

    Trying to change the settings on my time capsule to support UPnP so I might remotely access 3rd party software.  Any suggestions?

    Apple routers do not support UPnP.  They do support NAT-PMP, but that requires that you manually enter in the port values to set up what is known as Port Mapping.
    But, first things first. is the Time Capsule set up as the DHCP and NAT router for the network, or do you have another router upstream from the Time Capsule on the network?
    Another way to ask the same question......what is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?
