Is it possible to turn on and off the w-lan of the time capsule?

i would like to turn off the w-lan of the timecapsule.... during the night...is it possible?

Only by going through the setup every day.. there is no auto control . .no timers for wireless.. not switch or button.

I can't find out how to turn on and off the title of the song, name of artist, and time remaining to a song.

I can't find out how to turn on and off the window above the iTunes list that includes the title of the song, name of artist, and time remaining to a song. It seems to appear rather randomly on my iMac.

Is it possible to reserve a space on the time capsule to use to share files like; music, pictures, or documents?

There are 4 Mac's in my house and I'd like to back up all of them to a time capsule, i know it is possible to do this. however i would also like to be able to dump files like; music, pictures, and documents onto the time capsule so that the others mac will be able to access these files when they want to. This will stop the need for me leaving my mac on whilst other macs access my hard drive, or passing USB sticks around the house.

With an ordinary disk you can partition it with Disk Utility to reserve space for various things. With the Time Capsule you cannot partition it because Disk Utility doesn't work on networked drives and AirPort Utility can only format an entire Time Capsule, not paritition it.
You can simply store the files you want to share on the Time Capsule and turn on file sharing, and it will do what you want. The only downside is that because you can't reserve space, eventually the Time Machine backup(s) on it will reduce the amount of available space to zero. This would eventually happen anyway whether you store your files on there or not, and then Time Machine starts deleting the oldest backups, but if you store your files on there and space goes to zero people won't be able to add files.
I'm not sure about the "not powered" part. For many months I stored an iTunes library and music on a USB hard drive that was powered off the Time Capsule USB port. Of course, I did this so that the music would be accessible anywhere in the home. I swear that the external drive never used its own power cable. It was a portable bus-powered USB enclosure with a laptop-sized drive in it, though, so it normally does not require a power cable. If the files you need to share aren't too large, you might think about plugging in a USB stick drive which would be very compact, needs little power, inexpensive, and has no moving parts to break or heat up.

Is it best to use a basic (ISP supplied) router just as a modem and use the Time Capsule for everything else?

Just feeling my way into using a Time Capsule as the main networking device for two macbooks, two iPhones and occasional vistors including an iPad. Right now the basic ADSL router provides, internet conection, Firewal, DHCP and NAT. The Time Capsule provides WiFI and backup to the MacBooks. The MacBooks and iOS devices all use WiFI and a couple of media devices use ethernet (a hub is part of the network).
Would it be better (i.e. more effective in performance or management) to limit the router as much as possible so for instance turning off DHCP and NAT then reconfiguring the Time Capsule to do that - sort of part way to a situation where the router would be replaced by a modem? Or am I just wasting effort to no good purpose?

There is no simple.. yes or no to your question.
Often modems cannot be bridged.. or if they can the TC does not have the ability to provide the correct services to connect.
What is the broadband type and what is the modem router you are talking about?
Generally the supplied modem is perfectly adequate to the speed capability of the service provided.
In some cases we do say bridge it.. eg alot of cable modem routers supplied here are very poor, Have terrible NAT tables and pathetic abilities.. so we encourage them to be bridged or replaced. Most DSL type modem routers seem to be ok.. and are easily replaced anyway.
Time Capsules are far from being giants in the router world btw.. they have absolute min of controls possible. Lots of good things might be supplied on your normal modem which are missing in the TC. eg QoS. Decent logging, NAT table connection lists.. along with all the other lists.
Overall the gain.. I think for most people will be small.. try it out.. that is the only way to know.

How to turn on and off the Export Import capability in Quality &Production

Hi All,
Can any one tell me how to turn on and turn off the export, import capabilities in the Quality n Production Systems . All I know about this is, it is an SAP XI Basis task, and I am not able to get any documents related to it .
Thanks in Advance,
Hemanthika.

Hi,
Do you mean you want to disable Tools --> Export / Import feature?
Normally if you are using File Transports then lock the OS level access for all user id's and this would make sure that no transport of objects take place.

The wireless connection keeps going away and I need to power off and on the time capsule to get the wifi network up

Time Capsule wifi access very poor. it keeps disconnecting and i need to power on and off thr router to get the wifi connection back again. When it works its so slow, it works only in the roms nearby and not even upstairs in my home!

I cannot work from the serial number.. I need the model number. A1xxx in the rubber .. in the rubber.. for Gen1-3.. 2010 is probably Gen3 but can be early Gen4.
Follow up questions:
How do i take the firmware back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2
wireless names are Room of requirement and Leaky Cauldron - Is that too long a name?
How do I set fixed wireless channels?
Can relocate. Its in the main level of the house to give me access upstairs in the bedrooms and down in the basement,
Change firmware.. hold down option whilst clicking version.
Wireless names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. yes.. your names are wrong.. from my point of view.. more they do not obey the rules.. no spaces.
Check C9 here why this is important.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Fix wireless channels.. option page in wireless are of utility.. you need to spend more time in the utility so you know what is there.
Location is everything.. sometimes you simply need more than one device.. wireless has limited range. Use ethernet or EOP - homeplug adapters to place another AP in area closer to your position.

Do I have to turn off the time capsule?

I just bough a time capsule, but I don´t know if I have to turn it off when I´m not at home, I mean while I´m not using it. I would like to know if it is a better idea to buy a battery backup.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

The TC can run 24/7 no problems.. but if you are away from home for long periods then there is no issues in turning it off.
Battery backup ??
Just a 2.5" laptop drive in a holder.. sometimes they can be powered directly from USB if the Mac can provide sufficient current. That is better than other methods when you are on the road.

Switching off the Time Capsule: risk of damage?

Hello everyone. If I switch off my time capsule (1TB, recently bought) when not in use, for example at night (I think to connect it to a power strip), could I damage it? Or maybe only if the TC hard drive is running?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions!
This topic has been pretty much beat to death on the forums as there has been and will remain different schools of thought on this.
One school maintains that there is a very good reason that Apple chose not to even put a power switch on the device, and that is that it was designed to run 24/7. Powering off the TC causes it to lose its connection with the local network and internet. When the device is powered back up, these connections must be re-established. Also, when any electronic device is powered up from an off state, the components within the device are subjected to a sudden rush of current. The school thinking on this is that the device will last longer if the unit is left on and subjected to less stress.
The other school says power it down when not in use to save a bit of electricity. They don't buy the theory that a sudden rush of current has any long term effect on the device and claim that the device may actually last longer because the electronic components are subjected to less heat this way over time.
Choose your school, or maybe a middle ground that would have the TC powered off for long weekends, vacations or other extended periods when the device is not needed for backups.

My screen is oversensitive and letters and numbers jump onto the screen when my finger gets close so that it is impossible to write what I want. I tried turning on and off the phone but still the same when I turn back on. Any help or advice appreciated

You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

HT1414 I am able to see my laptop in my home share on my iPad but i can't see my iPad library on my laptop. I have tried to turn on and off the homeshare on my laptop but it still does not work. Any suggestions?

Please help. I am trying to sync my two libraries but my ipad is not showing up on my laptop. I cant even get the share menu to pop up.

Your library should reside on your computer, the iPad is simply a mirroring what you sync to it from iTunes. If you have anything on the iPad the is different then you may risk losing it.
Should you need to transfer anything so you can sync to iTunes (which you can do wired or wirlessly) there are 3rd party programs

I have a Comcast Modem which is connected to a Netgear Router for my home network. I just bought the Apple Time Capsule. Do I simply take the Netgear Router offline and substitute the Time Capsule. If so does this require a new Network name and security?

The router and modem are connected t oa PC but all the other computers on the network are Apple.

You should be able to substitute the TC for the netgear.. although you might find the wireless range is somewhat less.
Power down both the netgear and the cable modem.. plus all the clients.. leave the modem off for 5min at least.. maybe 15min..
Put the TC in place of the Netgear.. you do not need to change the name, although PC will work better if you keep everything SMB compatible.. that means both TC name and wireless names, short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Power up the modem.. wait 2min then power up the TC, then the rest of the clients.. check in airport utility to make sure the TC got public iP on the wan interface.

How to use a slider to turn on and off lights

Hi guys. i am fairly familiar with Labview now but cant seen to get my head around this problem. i have a slider which is numbered from 1 to 10. below the slider i inserted 10 LED lights. my aim sis to use the slider to turn on and off the lights. for an exmaple, when i set the slider to one, the light on the far left should go on. when i set the slider to 2, the first light should go on and the second light next to it should go on, and the pattern continues. i thought of using the number to array boolean but it didnt seem to do the trick. could you please help me out. i have attached the basic layout of how i wanted the objects to be arranged
kind regards

wow! simplicity at its best! thats really straight forward to understand. i think you are right about making complicated circuits. the reason why i had asked to know how to do this was because i wanted to learn how to control motor directions using a slider. so after i thought i had got the easiest way of giving out 2 different outputs using a slider, i replaced the lights with switches that changed the direction of the motor. i successfully did this for the first motor and it rotated fairly well, but wanted to control 4 in total. so i simply copied and pasted the code and re-asigned the switches to different motors. when i did this, the results did work BUT the motors went very very slow. the movement was not steady and kept skipping. i think this its due to the coding being overly complicated thefore causing a serious lag. if you could please have a look
kind regards

Soundbar/wifi automatically turning on and off

Hi,
I have a HP dv7t-3000 notebook. This notebook has the 'touch sensitive' bar on top of the keyboard with entertainment controls like volume/mute/play-stop-forward etcc.. and the wifi 'touch sensitive button'
My problem is that these are being automatically turning on and off. My volume for example is automatically going up and down. My sound at this very moment is turn 'mute' on and off like every second. My wifi is also turning on and off- the wifi 'touch sensitive button is turning red and blue repeatedly' (so on and off)
My question is, is there a way to DISABLE this whole 'touch bar'. I never turn my wifi off so I don't need that stupid button, and I'd rather control my volume in Windows than to have this stupid thing keep changing volumes up and down and muting on and off.
So I'd just like to keep wifi-on and then have this stupid bar be disabled! Who cares about these buttons if they're gonna behave like this.

If you updated to iOS 7 then I believe its something with iOS 7 because you are not the only one who has that problem, try to restore your iPhone and see if the problem is solved. If not , wait for iOS 7.1 it should be fixed on that new software.
Note:- don't forget to back up your phone before restoring or you will loose all your stuff.
-Let me know if this helped you, have a nice day :) ~iMond

How can I automatically have the XRAID turn on and off at a specific time?

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to turn on and off the XRAID at a specific time. My electrical bills are crazy. Is there a way to get this done?

I think turning the RAID on and off periodically is a bad idea. But if you really really really want to do this ....
Connect the xserve raid to a 'metered power strip such as those provide by APC. you can telnet to the power strip via the network to power off individual port)
write a script (run on the xserve or powermac that the RAID is connected to (direct or via switch)
0) quit application (issue a quit command or if the application have a stop command (example databse can be stopped)
1) unmount volume (must)
2) issue a telnet command via expect script to control the power strip to power off the array.
If you have java cli access to the array (see alienraid.org).(I have not tried this before.)
http://alienraid.org/article.php?story=xserveraidtools12&query=command
You can issue a command to execute the RAID admin shutdown command.
Put the master script into a unix cron job.

We bought a reconditioned IMac and time capsule,about a month ago the hard drive died and only left our files on the capsule which could not be retrieved from the time capsule so it got stored as a file on the operating system

Our IMac's hard drive died and we thought great we bought a time capsule to back up the immages and files,except when we had the hard drive replaced the time capsule did not recognize the newer opperating system and would not reboot the files back,so the apple store tech loaded them into a file folder and loaded them to the main screen and erased the time capsule,the problem now is how to load this file back permenantly and watch video's that are stored,when in I Photo when I try to view video content I get a message stating that I may need to download more software to support this format.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Is it possible to turn on and off the w-lan of the time capsule?
