Is there a way to connect to my Time Capsule over internet from an iPad

Hi,
Could anybody please help me configure how to connect to my Time Capsule 3TB over internet from my iPad.
I would like to use it as Cloud station over internet.
I was able to connect from my Mac on both "over internet and from my local network" using "Back to My Mac"
I was able to conncet also from my iPad from my local network.
I bought some file browser Apps which enable iPad to connect as "afp, smb" but I could'nt manage to make it work?
I made all the setting required: Enabling NAT Port Mapping, File Sharing, Sharing Disk over WAN, but without success?!
Shouldn't Apple includes and supports iPad to make such connection like "Back to My Mac" protocol.
I believe that Time Capsule is a great product, but I think Apple should consider more of software compatibilities.
Thanks,,

Thanks Bob,
I already tried FileBrowser and I did all the steps as per the instruction on their webpage, but alwasy give error message.
Could it be that "smb" protocol blocked by my internet provider.
I am connecting to internet using DHCP.
Many thanks

  • Is there a way you can see the Time Capsule in OS 9?

    I am setting up a time capsule for a client for his PC/Mac Business, he has 2 Windows based PCs that run XP, one intel iMac running Tiger, and one Dual 1.25GHz G4 running an OS9 app that he needs for his business.
    Is there a way you can get the time capsule volume to mount inside of OS9???

    There isn't even a way to connect to the IP from OS 9, and transfer files to it manually?

  • How to connect to Time Capsule over internet when TC is not router?

    Hi
    I purchase my TC 2 days ago in order to both back up my files and to be able to access files stored in TC over the internet.
    After some time (and frustration!) I found that TC cannot be used as a router with sky broadband. This is confirmed by Sky technical help line and via this forum
    http://store.apple.com/uk/question/answers/product/MD032B/A/can-i-use-time-capsu le-with-sky-mrouter/QCXY9XJPFFYHPHTKK
    So I connected my TC to my router via an ethernet cable. I can back up using my mac book air running the latest mountain lion. My problem is that I cannot tick the "share disk over wan" option in Airport Utility which I think I need to do before I can access files over the internet. This option just doesn't appear and reading other forums, I think it is because my TC is not the router.
    Is there some work around or configuration that will allow me to get that option to tick or to able to access my files on the TC over the net?
    Ultimately, I would like to access my TC files using my ipad.
    I am not much of a techie
    Thanks!

    The TC should be in bridge mode.. in bridge there is no WAN port.. so you cannot tick to share files over WAN because there isn't one.
    But you can still share files.. there is nothing in the documentation for BTMM and iCloud that says the TC has to be the main router.. although doubtless it will make it easier.
    How exactly are you trying to access the files now??
    If you are not using BTMM and iCloud please describe what you have done.
    It is no problem if you have a fixed ie static public IP to access the TC even without BTMM.
    There is plenty of descriptions of the method around the net.. just google it.
    Here is one I have used.
    http://gigaom.com/2009/05/14/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
    The TC is indeed bridged in this case.
    You simply forward port 548 from the sky router to the TC.
    Ultimately, I would like to access my TC files using my ipad.
    This is where life starts to get hard.. to access the files you need AFP files protocol which ipad does not use.You cannot use ipad to get files at all from the TC without a file browser.. the vast majority of which use SMB protocol which will not work over the internet in most cases. ( it is too big a security risk).
    There is only one file browser I know of for iPad that is AFP based. file connect.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/files-connect/id404324302?mt=8
    But I am not sure if it will work over BTMM.. to get files remotely.
    Nevertheless if you have a connection remotely to the TC by direct means you may be able to access files.
    I have done it with a MBP sharing files on a bridged TC, to a person on the other side of the world. No issues and as long as you have a static public IP it is easy.
    If you don't then see if it is cheap to buy one.. some ISP will offer static IP for a single charge of $20 or something.
    Some want $10 a month.. that is too much.
    Or use DynDNS in the sky router. That is the way we get around dynamic IP most people use.
    Just look up your sky router manual for dynamic DNS servers it supports.
    I am iPadless.. and probably willl remain so for the foreseeable future.. so I cannot test it for you. IMHO internet security does become an issue with this sort of thing. There are other means to be considered.. namely vpn.. which I know the iPad and Macs support but the TC has not got vpn endpoints available. 

  • Is there a way to connect two analog mics recording in stereo to the iPad for recording?

    I currently use an M-Audio Mobile Pre to connect two microphones to my MacBook Pro via USB. If I wanted to use my iPad (or even iPhone) instead, is there a way to get the stereo input into the iPad? Would the Line 6 Sonic Port sold via Apple work? Would it take 2 separate inputs and deliver stereo to Garage Band or another recording app? Or is there another way?

    Exactly that -- the procedure is described in the online Help: InDesign Help | Text variables
    Now every time you insert the variable named "# of potatoes", you'll see the text "50" appear (with a minimal rectangular marker to indicate it's a variable), and when you want another number of potatoes, all you have to do is adjust the text in the Variables dialog.

  • My MacBook Pro keeps telling me there was a problem connecting to a time capsule that no longer exists on my network.

    The error showing states "There was a problem connecting to the server 'name of my old time capsule' ".  However, that time capsule has since been replaced by a new time capsule.  Why does my computer continue to try to connect to the old time capsule.  It has no trouble connecting to the new time capsule.  In fact, while conducting a Time Machine backup to the new Time Capsule, the error message popped up concerning the old time capsule.  Very frustrating because this message stays on top of other windows and when it pops up, I must stop what I am doing to to make it go away.  Right now, I just push the box off to the side so it doesn't cover any of my windows.  That doesn't solve the real problem, though.

    System Preferences -------> Time Machine
    Select the correct disk you want to back up to (new device), click on the old disk in Time Machine preferences,    ----------> Remove Disk

  • I do not have wifi at home.  Is there another way to connect my ipod touch to the internet?

    Maybe some smart person has come up with an app for this?

    Thanks for your reply lllaass.
    Do you know what I need to do to put wifi on my home pc?
    Is it just a matter of dropping it off at a computer shop and asking them to do it for me and is it expensive?
    Using the pc as a hotspot sounds like a good idea.

  • Is there a way to control a PDF pressentation in my computer from my ipad

    I am an Architect who constantly does pressentations on In Design then export them to PDF to latter show them in front of my clients... normaly i use my ipad to show the project when it is a one to one basis.... there is a conference comming up and i want to control the presentation that i did with mi ipad... the laptop will be hooked to the infocus and I want to use mi ipad as a remote control... is it possible....
    I dont have the ipad adaptor... and i think it wouldnt be usefull for what I am planning to do

    I don't think the iPad has it in it to control another device. Unless there's an app for it to be a remote control, but I'd imagine that it woudl be very brand specific.
    You can certainly experiment with the VGA or HDMI adapters, but I wouldn't put total faith in them unless you had the ability to experiment prior to your presentation. I'd definitely have a backup plan.

  • Connecting remotely to Time Capsule

    I want to be able to connect to the time capsule over the internet from any location without my mac being switched on at home, will this be possible so i can access files on the drive.
    Thanks Steve

    Let me see ... do you have a static IP address from your ISP? If not, then No, you won't. If you get a static IP, you should be able to see the TimeCapsule from anywhere, but I am not sure you would be able to connect to it. All in all, this is really, really, really a bad idea. If you want to see it/use it from anywhere, you should set up proxy to sit between the drive and your modem and configure it as a DHCP server (control your network). Then mount the TC to that machine. You can use an old cheap PC (yes, they are actually good for something), set up a free linux dist (like Ubuntu), and then configure it to let you into your network and use the available resources (like the TC). Off course, like I said, you would require a static IP from your ISP.

  • Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

    Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

    Absolutely!
    Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
        Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
        Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
        School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
        Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
        Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
        Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
        Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
    The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

  • Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output?

    Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output? I would prefer to use an audio interface for playback and the apple tv as a third display. I know I can go back to system preferences and swap my output back manually, but it is getting to be really inconvienient. Thoughts?

  • Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port

    Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port  & still hear sound through the internal speakers?  System Preferences/Sound/Output or Sound Effects allows you to use one or the other  --  headphones or internal speakers.  I would like to have the option of hearing music through the internal speakers in one room, & through an external speaker in another room at the same time.  I also do not want to frequently disconnect/reconnect the external speaker from/to the headphone port as I know over time the connection could become loose.  (10.7.4  Lion)

    dont think so but I could be wrong
    as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers  but there
    are times when I use headset so I bought this one
    or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

  • HT4437 is there a way to connect my ipad with airplay to more than one airplay enabled speaker? at the moment it allows me to connect to only one?

    is there a way to connect my ipad using airplay to more than one airplay enabled speaker?  when i tap the airplay icon on my ipad i see the list of all the speakers in each room but i can only connect to one at a time. Itunes, on my laptop, allows me to connec to all of them at the same time but Music on my ipad allows me to choose only one speaker at a time. Can several be connected at the same time using Music on Ipad or iphone?

    That's great, but not what we want to do. I've been looking at all the boards for a solution to this and, you are correct. There isn't one - at least not one native to iOS. What I think EricB2 would like, as well as many of us, is the ability to take any audio stream (pandora, tune-in radio, etc.) and stream directly to multiple airplay devices from our iPads and iPhones without having to use the computer. Just walk into the house from the car, hit a button on the iDevice and start listening to the same stream we were listening to in the car on all of our home speakers. I know, this is like science fiction.  My own opinion is that it would cut into Apples lucrative iTunes business model and really isn't in their best interest, so I don't think it will be happening anytime soon. Bottom line is if you want to use your Apple devices for whole house streaming, you need a computer and music from iTunes($$). Otherwise it's $$ out of Apples pocket.
