Is Time Capsule 1st gen compatible with 3To HDD?

hello community,
I would like to replace the HDD 1To in my Time Capsule 1st gen (2008) with a 3To HDD. Is it compatible?  How to install, update software necessary and how to do it?
Thanks for any hlep.

If it's nonsense to tell me, don't tell me anything else.
In Apple Store Time Capsule version 4 has a 3GB hard drive. And for an electronics technician like me, this is not a problem to do this work.

  • Time capsule 1st generation - extension with air port extreme

    My parents use a time capsule (1st generation) as wireless lan device. As they run a boarding house they wish to provide free internet access to all of their guests (in all rooms). Therefore I bought an air port extreme station to extend the network as this product now (finally) includes the option »guest network«.
    The question is the following: *Should I keep the time capsule as basic device connected to the modem and use the air port extreme as extension or do you recommend to set it up vice versa?*
    I checked the range of the time capsule: It can be used in already in the first floor but not in the second anymore.
    I am really unsure how I should approach this topic and I hope more expirienced users can provide some help to this issue. Maybe you can also give me some security advice. In order to protect kids from misusing this new possiblity I was thinking of using opendns to block certain websites. Maybe there are also betters ways of doing this?

    Need a bit more info.
    Now this is what happens when I plug it in:
    Plug it into power?? The main router?? Sorry I am unclear what you are plugging it into.
    It sounds like you have not done the setup.
    The TC should be in bridge and plugged into the current modem router you have.. and powered on full time.
    If you cannot access it via the utility, I strongly suggest you buy the apple usb to ethernet dongle.. which helps air people no end.. or use any other computer that has a real ethernet port.
    Otherwise set to factory and start over. (this will not do anything to what you already have on the disk).
    Hold in reset and power on the TC.. wait about 10sec until the front led rapidly flashes. .then you can connect the computer.. and do the setup.. choose bridge in the Network section of the utility and update the TC.
    Then you can plug it into the main router and access it and internet at the same time.. either by TC wireless or the main modem wireless.
    Please note. .Gen1 TC is only going to last very little time.. it is already well past the average lifespan.. many died at 2years.. most gone by 4years.. plan on storing nothing important on it.

  • HT1363 why exactly isnt  the ipod classic 1st gen compatible with windows7?

    when i connect my ipod classic 1st gen to my windows 7 32-bit labtop it says it says one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfuntioned and wndows dose not reconize it.....i have read that the 1st gen ipod classic isnt compatible with windows 7...but why?

    clarification needed
    if it is the iPod 1st Gen (2001-2002), then it run only on Mac OS 9 and 10, will not run on any Windows machine.
    If it is a iPod Classic Rev 1 (generally known as 6th Gen, circa 2008), then it runs on both Mac OS X and Windows XP or later  machine.

  • Time Capsule and iTunes working with external HDD

    Hello all.
    I have a situation I would to share with you and see if there is a solution.
    I have a PC and a Macbook Air. I had a Time Capsule which had my iTunes library but the drive failed and I lost everything. However when it was running things weren't going great. Because the Time Capsule was a bit clever, it only spun the HDD when TIme Machine was backing my MBA.
    This meant that I had trouble accessing my iTunes library because it wasn't always available. So I would have to locate the library on most occasions and on even more occasions iTunes lost the links with my media files and had to go through the time consuming 'Find files' process.
    I was wondering if an answer to my problem would be to store all my music and other media on an external HDD (like the GoFlex). The I could plug it into my PC, then my MBA and if I wanted to make it avable to both I could plug it into Time Capsule and it would 'broadcast' it to both.
    I was wondering if anyone had tried this and how it worked, Would iTunes see the HDD plugged directly into the MBA as the same as the HDD being plugged into the Time Capsule?
    I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

  • Time Capsule doesn't work with proxy?

    Hello! I have a Time Capsule working with an ethernet connection which is controled by a proxy server. I don't see the option to configure TC in order to download the .pac file, or to configure manually the proxy settings.
    Therefore, the internet through TC doesn't work!
    Anyone knows a solution?
    Thanks

    The blurb about Time Capsule not being compatible with some ISPs is no different from the same blurb that Apple has attached to the specs of all previous Airport base station products. So... if your ISP currently works with an older model Base Station, it will work with Time Capsule. ISPs that typically don't work are ones that use uncommon DSL communications or authentication protocols - often found in parts of Europe and the Middle East.
    (Speculation on my part) Time Capsule will not function as a wireless client on an existing wireless network. Therefore, users of an existing wireless network will need to either (a) replace their existing wireless router with Time Capsule or (b) cable Time Capsule to their existing wireless router and disable the router built into Time Capsule. These are exactly the same options faced by previous purchasers of Apple's Airport base stations.

  • Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion   3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

    Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have  3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

    The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
    BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.

  • Airport Express 1st Gen dropping Time Capsule 4th Gen when being used to extend signal

    I have an older Airport Express 1st Gen and recently purchased a Time Capsule 4th Gen.  The firmware for both products is updated to the latest version.  When I set up the Airport Express to extend the signal for the Time Capsule, it works great at first, connects and the status light turns green. But after a while, the AE drops the "extension" and the light goes amber.  I have also heard this is a problem from a Macintosh expert at the Genius Bar.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    Try using a wireless name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric on the TC.. I would even set different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
    So for example.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz meet our requirement.
    Use WPA2 Personal security not wpa-wpa2 as that leads to issues.
    Use password that is 10-20 characters pure alphanumeric.. can be mixed upper and lower case plus numerials.
    Fix the wireless channel of the TC..
    Now see if it makes a stable extend..
    Always remember the Express must not be so far away the signal is poor.. it should get good signal itself so it can repeat to the other clients.

  • Time Capsule 4th Gen with 2 AE's to extend wireless has no consistent connection

    I have a Time Capsule 4th Gen & 2 Airport Express (A1264) devices used for extending the wireless range - all on v7.6.4. The network setup is a u-verse modem that goes to a Cisco 8 port router, that has one ethernet line to the Time Capsule, one ethernet line goes to one of the AE's, another ethernet line to another 5 port router and an AE connected to it, and the remaining ethernet lines are to hardwire different rooms in the house.
    The goal is to have the most robust wireless network I can create for the house that has, 4 iphones, 5 ipad's, 4 mac's, 2 pc's and a few other wirelesss devices. I also have an AT&T wireless Microcell (not sure if relevant). The issue revolves mostly around really poor wireless performance on iphones and iPad's they just take foreever to load pages and in many cases I need to do things like turn off wireless, forget the network, restart, airplane mode and such to get it connected. I've tried multiple configurations, and the performance is not consistent.
    My understanding is that the AE's connected to ethernet on the home network can extend the TC's range and make the movement of mobile wireless devices throughout the house seemless. Is this setup doable or am I just not going to get this with the current configs.
    TC setup, DHCP to u-verse gateway, Network Mode set to Create... ., WPA2 Personal, 2.4 channel 9, off bridge mode, timed access control enabled
    AE1 setup, DHCP to u-verse gateway, Network Mode set to Create... ., WPA2 Personal, 2.4 channel 5, off bridge mode, timed access control enabled
    AE2 setup, DHCP to u-verse gateway, Network Mode set to Create... ., WPA2 Personal, 2.4 channel 7, off bridge mode, timed access control enabled
    Really appreciate any advice or tips on improving this setup. Thanks!

    My understanding is that the AE's connected to ethernet on the home network can extend the TC's range and make the movement of mobile wireless devices throughout the house seemless.
    This is generally true if you are using Mac laptops, but PCs and mobile devices using the iOS systems like the iPhone and iPad will not usually automatically "switch" from one wireless access point to another as the device moves from one area to another.
    That's a nature of the beast of the iOS system, I am afraid.
    Usually, if you move the iOS device from one area to another, you willl need to turn off the WiFi on the device, then turn it back it on. Then, it will usually pick up the stronger signal from the closest wireless access point.
    Sometimes, if I move an iPhone or iPad from one area to another in a multiple access point network, the iOS device will switch over to the stronger signal after a few minutes.
    I haven't installed iOS 7 yet, so can't comment on whether it might be better in this regard, but I would be surprised if it was.

  • Pls help my time capsule (4th gen) lost it files..I think it have a virus pls help me to fix it tnx..

    Pls help my time capsule (4th gen) lost it files..I think it have a virus pls help me to fix it tnx..

    1. Ethernet .. are you using ethernet?
    2. Change the name of the TC to short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    3. In the file sharing page change the workgroup to WORKGROUP.
    4. In the same area, change the guest access to on read and write.
    5. If you setup homegroup on the PC get rid of it.. TC is not compatible with homegroup.
    6. Turn off ipv6 in the network settings for ethernet. (since you are going to be using ethernet).
    From Mac version utility it looks like this.
    Go to the admin tools and ensure that bonjour for windows is on.
    Manually type the IP directly into windows explorer.. do not open via MyComputer.
    \\10.0.1.1
    Because the error message is important.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • Time Capsule 1st Generation vs 4th Generation

    Is there a compelling reason why I should upgrade from a Time Capsule (1st Generation) to the latest when my current TC is functioning flawlessly?  I've got a house full of Apple Devices;
    - Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation)
    - AirPort Express 802.11n
    - iPod touch (1st Generation)
    - 2x iPhone 4
    - iPad
    - iPad 2
    - Apple TV 2
    - MacBook Pro 13" (Mid 2009)
    - iMac 27" (Mid 2010)
    - MacBook Air 13" (Mid 2011)
    Are there significant performance improvements with the Time Capsule (4th Generation) and/or Airport Extreme (5th Generation) over the Time Capsule (1st Generation?
    Thanks in advance for the advice/recommendations!
    Brian

    The major difference between the two versions is that Generation 2 and higher products allow simultaneous dual band wireless operation.
    Your Time Capsule will produce either a 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz network, but not both simultaneously. Since you have iPhones connecting to the network, you are using the 2.4 GHz band.
    Most of your newer devices are capable of connecting at the much faster 5 GHz speeds, but if you set your current Time Capsule up to operate at 5 GHz, the iPhones and iPod will not be able to connect.
    A newer version Time Capsule produces both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simultaneously, so faster devices would connect to the 5 GHz band and slower devices connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
    That being said, there is also something to be said for leaving well enough alone. Your call.

  • Time capsule 1st generation loosing Internet connection

    I have a time capsule 1st generation on my iMac. Since I updated to Lion, my time capsule started to flash orange every hour or so… it's extremely annoying and I really have NO idea what to do.
    Here's some specs and configuration for my network
    Firmware: 7.5.2 (75200.14)
    Wireless Security: WAP2 Personal
    Allow this network to be extended CHECKED
    Channel: Automatic
    Radio Mode: 802.11n only (2.4GHz) - I tried on 5GHz only and I had the same problem.
    Multicast Rate: 6Mbps
    WPA Group Key Timeout:  1 hour - I tried 1 day, 10 days, X months, doesn't matter, problem still here
    Create a closed network - UNCHECKED - Because the mac mini keeps on "forgetting" the network and it ***** to remember such a long password so I decided not to hide it anymore
    Since the time capsule is pretty close to my computer, I use an ethernet cable but everything else in the house is Wireless (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Mac Mini, apple tv, Macbook Pro and Macbook)

    I found out that if you are already in airport when the problem starts, it doesn't update the message but the light gets amber and you loose connection for more or less 15 seconds.
    I got this issue again this morning, opened up airport and got 2 messages... then it went back online as if nothing happened. It's doing this every single hour.
    Since I can't plugg on wifi only since I ALSO get the "No Hardware Installed"  message in wifi, I have to be plug with the ethernet cable
    Am I the only one starting to REALLY hate Lion or what? None of this was happening on Snow Leopard...

  • Time capsule 4th gen firmware 7.6.1 and Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi I have a Time capsule 4th gen firmware 7.6.1 and Windows 7 Home Premium and every time I try to copy a large file from the TC to my Windows 7 laptop the TC crashes.  The time capsule disk dissapears from the network and the wireless is still on but with limited connectivity for everyone including the macs connected to the same network.  On the contrary, I can copy any files to the TC.  No problem.  I've tried all the suggestions.  Lmcompatibilitylevel 1, disable 128-bit encryption, and disabled windows search.  No luck!  Any other suggestions?

    My previous reply: red herring. The problem didn't occur again right away, but eventually it did. Completely repeatable: start copying a 100GB file off the Time Capsue to the ThinkPad, and the entire wi-fi network goes down; nothing to do but pull the plug on the TC and restart it.
    I have tried several different versions of the Intel wi-fi driver under Windows 7 and 8 -- same problem in all cases.
    At least one other thread describing these same symptoms points to the firmware as the culprit (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3582780?start=0&tstart=0). I have just downgraded the TC firmware from 7.6.1 to 7.5.2 as suggested; so far so good.
