Is time capsule compatible with pc

Wanted to use it with Apple and PC products. Was wondering if there is a program one can get to use Time Capsule with the PC side of the house?

If you are asking about a backup program here, you might want to take a look at Genie TimeLine Pro, which is similar to Time Machine.

It´s Time Capsule compatible with 10.7.2 Mac OsX Lion and iOS5?

Hi. I want to buy Time Capsule of 2TB but.. it is compatible with Mac OSX Lion MacBook Pro Middle 2009 and with my iPhone 4 iOS5?

As far as backing up your Mac, yes it is. Time Capsule serves no purpose as far as backup for the iPhone though. It will give the iPhone a wireless signal though, using dual band technology. iPhone backups must be done through iTunes or iCloud.

Is the time capsule compatible with a wireless printer

I am trying to use my HP wireless printer with the time capsule. It is not working. Is it compatible?

Yes, it should be ok..
BUT the rest of the WORLD speaks SMB.. as in fact does iOS.. and so you need to make things look nice to SMB.. in other words windows type networking.
By default the TC seems to end up with names which are wrong..
Use short names with no apostrophe.. or any other special character.. pure alphanumeric.. no spaces..
Passwords also .. nothing more than 20 characters.. names do not need to be long, 8-12 pure alphanumeric is plenty.
eg I name my TC.. TC
Name 2.4ghz wireless, TC24ghz
Name 5ghz wireless TC5ghz (I recommend this to keep them separate and prevent auto swapping)
Lock the channel (This is optional but I find helps stability.. mainly for 2.4ghz.. there are three channels.. 1, 6, 11) Try each channel in turn.
Plug the printer into the computer by usb and run through the setup.
Put the wireless into infrastructure mode and put in the wireless name and security settings and passkey.
Complete the printer setup wizard and then disconnect the usb.. it might well be a good idea to restart everything.. Make sure the printer is in a position where there is good wireless signal.
Now what I found happens is the printer driver is confused by the fact you had it plugged in by usb. So see if the printer is accessible now.. if not delete the printer and start again.. it should pick it up now as a network printer.
I don't know what model printer you have so to get all the specifics right read the instructions.. You know that old saying.. when all else fails.. and after you post on the forum.. actually read the instructions.

Is there a way to make the Time Capsule compatible with the iBook Clamshell (2000 not 1999)?

We upgraaded our router to the new time capsule over christmas break and it works great but our old ibook clamshell doesnt work with it. is says an error has occured when i try to connect to it.
Is there someway to connect the Clamshell?
Thanks!

What type of security is defined for your wireless network? I may be wrong, but I don't believe that the AirPort Card supports anything better than the very weak WEP encryption. It also only works on the 2.4 GHz band. I'm presuming you configured the Time Capsule to support that band.

Is the time capsule compatible with thunderbolt?

Thinking of getting a new iMac for Xmas and the 3 TB Time Machine with builtin router. My question is can I connect the new Time Machine to my Mac via the thunderbolt port and access my data even faster?

Gigabit ethernet is way faster than the data can be streamed off the hard disk. Typical hard disk speed can be seen in the review here.

Just over 80MB/s is well within gigabit capability.

Is the 3 TB AirPort Time Capsule compatible with PC?

I'm in the process of converting over to Mac from PC and I need to transfer all my files (over 2 TB worth) from my Sea Gate external harddrive to an Apple compatible one. If I buy a Time Capsule first, is it possible to hook it up to my laptop (PC - Toshiba) to get everything from the other external harddrive?

Yes you can transfer your files between drives.
Better still, if the Seagate external drive supports USB, you can also just connect the drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule. Most likely, you will need to reformat this drive if it currently formatted in NTFS to HFS+ if you go this route.

Is the new AirPort Time Capsule compatible with a fibre optic modem?

I will be having fibre optic set up in my new home. The new AirPort Time Capsule states that it si able to connect to cable or DLS modem for internet access. Will I be able to connect this device to a modem designed for fibre optic internet?
Many thanks
CS

Yes. All it needs is a modem (cable, fiber, satellite, DSL) with an Ethernet output (not USB).

Time capsule compatible with Plusnet Wireless...?

Hi there
I am thoroughly confused - my home wifi comes from Plusnet Wireless and al I want to know is ... will the Time Capsule work on Plusnet?
Cheers!

Does the Plusnet router have ethernet.. if so plug the TC WAN port to the LAN port of the router.. and set the TC up in bridge mode.
If the Plusnet is wireless only your doomed!!
TC can join a wireless network but it is really poor.
So please explain and we can work from there.

Weird: why would a network drive named "time-capsule-de" with an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor appear on my home network?

Weird: why would a network drive with the name "time-capsule-de" and an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor suddenly appear on my home network?
It happened shortly after I'd set up a new Time Capsule with our iMac and had transferred the configuration for it over from my old Time Capsule.
I'd just taken the old Time Capsule into another room and powered it up with my MacBook to confirm that Airport Utility's wiping of its settings hadn't affected the old Time Machine backups still stored in it.
I was in the process of tinkering to see how I could use the old Time Capsule, when Airport Utility offered to "extend" my home network, so I tried that setting, and then got a warning that the old Time Capsule and its wifi networks were not yet secure or private. While I was working to fix that, I noticed that in the Finder sidebar and in my Network settings, this mysterious "time-capsule-de" (with an odd old-fashioned PC monitor for an icon) had appeared. I tried to click on it, but could not access it. I also could not eject it. I shut down my old Time Capsule and my MacBook. When I turned the laptop back on, "time-capsule-de" was gone.
What do you all make of that? Should I worry about the security of my home network? I live in an apartment development, so there are more than a dozen stray wifi signals pouring in from other units.
I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

What is the name of your old Time Capsule? Did you change the name to the new one?
It appears in Finder .. that is to be expected.. it is after all a network drive.. and it has PC symbol more than likely because you are using Mavericks which defaults to SMB network.. ie the computer thinks it is a windows computer.
There is nothing bad or sinister going on.. but you certainly need to ensure your own wireless network is secure..
That is otherwise all fine.
If the TC shows up again, check that it is also in the airport utility and check its MAC address with the label on the bottom.. It will show in the Utility .. then you can compare and check you are reading the right thing.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
Ray

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

Time Capsule Hangs with USB Drive Connected after installing 10.5.6 update

The 10.5.6 update basically made my External USB Disk connected to the Time Capsule unusable. I've repaired the permissions as suggested in other posts - this did not fix the problem.
I was unable to perform any incremental backups initially after the 10.5.6 update, so I archived my sparsebundle and created a new one by doing a full fresh backup - which completed successfully. However, after the backup, I was unable to connect to the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to the Time Capsule via Finder - when trying to connect, my computer hangs and I'm forced to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND the Time Capsule, if I just restart one or the other the problem persists. If I let the connection attempt run long enough I get an "Error Code: -8072" message and still have to do a hard restart. After the hard restart of my computer and Time Capsule I'm able to connect to the Time Capsule and the USB drive connected to Time Capsule just fine. However, once the Time Machine backup runs again - the same problem returns, I can no longer access the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to Time Capsule via Finder and have to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND Time Capsule. This 10.5.6 update has been havoc, anyone have the same troubles or ideas for resolving this? Before updating to 10.5.6 my system was working flawlessly with Time Capsule and the connected USB drive.
UPDATE: I've just verified that this problem only occurs with my external LaCie Hard Drive connected to Time Capsule via USB. If I disconnect my LaCie Hard Drive from the Time Capsule and restart the Time Capsule everything works fine (backups, access to Time Capsule Disk from Finder). If I connect the LaCie Hard Drive via USB to the Time Capsule, I am able to access the LaCie Hard Drive in Finder UNTIL the next Time Machine backup. After the first Time Machine backup with the USB drive connected, I can no longer access the USB drive from Finder - Finder hangs and eventually produces "Error Code: -8072". If I disconnect the USB drive, then plug it back in - Finder no longer hangs and I can access the drive connected to Time Capsule until the next backup occurs.
Anybody have ANY ideas? This worked fine before the 10.5.6 update!

I am having a similar problem. Never tried it before installing 10.5.6, but have a Time Capsule (500GB) with a 1TB WD MyBook Essential Edition connected via USB. Hardware is password protected by authorized users of network and needs separate login to access. When I initially set it up, it worked fine (though too difficult to set up). The WD storage drive showed up in Finder window as a subset of the Time Capsule after clicking on the Time Capsule icon. I had an "-8072" error message yesterday that I ignored, but then the file contents of the WD storage drive took forever to be viewed in Finder (though video files could be accessed wirelessly). Today started having a problem... coincidentally?... after a Time Machine backup, and got the message: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)." Now I am unable to get into the WD drive when I click on "Connect As" on the Time Capsule icon in the Finder menu... I just get the -8072 error. I no longer even see the Time Capsule disk as a subset of the Time Capsule icon in the Finder Toolbar.
What is going on???

Time Capsule shows with wrong name on Time Machine

I changed the name of my Time Capsule using airport. However, Time Machine still shows the old Time Capsule name, with the new name underneath. When I try to back up using this disk, it shows the following error message:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Old Time Capsule name/My laptop name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1)."
I don't know how to fix this. I have looked everywhere. I deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, and even made sure to do a secure empty trash. I even did a soft reset of the Time Capsule to the factory configuration, and renamed the Time Capsule all over again. I restarted the computer several times during this process, and yet no luck, it still shows the old Time Capsule name.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

Ok, the MacBook is backing up now. Here is what I did:
After manually changing the name of the Time Capsule Disk as above, Time Machine was still not able to back up. I kept getting the error message
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Old Time Capsule name/My laptop name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1)."
The problem is that "My laptop name" Time Machine was using is wrong. I had changed the laptop name in Network Perferences>Sharing before, but it still kept looking for the wrong .sparsebundle file in the Time Capsule. I don't know why, and I even deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file again with no success.
I entered the Time Capsule from the Finder menu, found the .sparsebundle file with the wrong name, and manually deleted it. Finally the MacBook was able to backup. However, although the MacBook name is the same as it used to be before, and even though there was already an old .sparsebundle file with the correct name, Time Machine created a new .sparesebundle with the same name, and began an entirely new backup. I am just letting it do this backup, and then I will manually delete the old backup, so it doesn't take space on the Time Capsule. I don't need the past backups (and hope I won't swallow my words), and I am tired of dealing with this, so this will be it.

Just installed a new time capsule and i want to use my airport express to extend my wireless range....time capsule working with existing devices at this time...but i am not able to get airport utility to recognize the airport express.....????

Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

Extend Time Capsule network with another Time Capsule

Hi guys.
Like the title says: I want to extend the wireless network of the dual-band Time Capsule (2TB) with a first generation Time Capsule (500GB).
So, I opened AirPort Utility, selected the older model and completed the logical steps (extend another network wirelessly), but it doesn't restart. It hangs there, with the orange light blinking...
What should I do to make it work?
Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions!
Check your settings as follows:
On the 2TB Time Capsule, open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
There must be a check mark entered next to Allow this network to be extended
On the 500GB Time Capsule, open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your 2TB Time Capsule
Enter a check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security = Same setting as your 2 TB Time Capsule
Wireless Password = Same password as your 2 TB Time Capsule
Update to save settings

Time capsule slow with macbook pro

Hello,
I'm using a Time Capsule 2T with a MacBook pro 2.0Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB ram, OSX 10.9.2.
I have a 10mbps internet plan and it works perfectly with my iphone or ipad mini using the wireless signal.
But with my macbook pro, the speed goes down to 1mbps, at maximum...
I've reseted my modem, the Time Capsule, macbook and nothing changed...
Does anyone know what could be happening?? Tks!!!

Have you tested with ethernet? From the specs of your machine it should still have ethernet port.
That is the first test.. with wireless off.. as it helps to establish if the issue is just wireless or is some network problem. If it is still slow post back without doing anything else.
Next test.. copy a file to the TC.. use a big file, a system update or some such.. copy it from the computer to the TC.. and TC to the computer. What speed do you get??
That establishes if the problem is wireless overall or is it wrongly setup somehow.
Test with wireless should be about 3-5M from the TC.. no need to be right next to it.
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in wireless setting on the computer.
Do the wireless diagnostics, which is built into the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5606
Follow all the wifi best practice.
No luck post back your test results.
