Access the Time Capsule HDD from g and an n network?

Hi there
I reckon that this Time Capsule is great idea and I look forward to buying one.
I have a MacBook Pro (802.11n) and a Windows laptop (with a 802.11g adapter). I will plug a USB printer into the Time Capsule.
I want both my laptops to be able to access the Time Capsule HDD. I understand that if I want to maximise the connection speed for my MacBook I'll need to run seperate 802.11n network (for my MacBook) and a 802.11g network for my Windows laptop. Otherwise a shared b/g/n network will just run at g speed.
My question: If I do run the two seperate networks, will both laptops be able to share the HDD and printer?
Also, will the two laptops be able to see each other across the two networks?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

You're right about the 802.11n PC Card for the Windows laptop.
Seeing as the 802.11n is still in draft, how will I know if the PC Card I purchase will work with the Time Capsule?
If is merely a case of getting any Belkin, NetGear etc. 802.11n PC Card for the laptop and assuming it'll work?
Is there a compatibility list somewhere?
I really appreciate your help on this one.
Cheers!

How do I turn on SMB Sharing so I can access my Time Capsule remotely via iPad w/FileBrowser app?

I know I can share the time capsule, but I don't want to have to have my computer on, I just want to enable sharing and then access the files via File Browser on my iPad and Stream my movies and music stored at home.

Are you saying that your new Extreme no longer needs for you to enter the terminal script to enable TM backups to an AirDisk?
Yes, exactly that ... although since it is the Mac that runs Time Machine & uses its own system preferences, I don't think it is the new Extreme itself that makes the difference but instead some update to the OS (10.5.5, maybe?). As I understand it, so many users expected that in this respect an Extreme with a USB-connected drive would be the functional equivalent of a Time Capsule that Apple updated the code to support it, even without setting a hidden system preference for Time Machine to show (& use) "unsupported" drives.
IOW, I suspect the key is no longer necessary for anyone running up-to-date system software. If you want to check this, you can use the "defaults" terminal command to do so. For background info, see the Mac OS X Manual Page For defaults(1) for its purpose & options, but briefly its three major modes are "read," "write" & "delete." Using the "read" option as I did in my earlier post should tell you if the preference key/value pair exists & if so, how it is set. If you replace "read" in that command with "delete" it will delete the 'show unsupported' key:
<pre> defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes</pre>
You can also leave the key in place but set it to ignore the volumes:
<pre> defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 0</pre>
All I know for sure is that I never entered any 'defaults write' command for this on either of my Macs that run Leopard, & both do show the volumes attached to the Extreme in the Time Machine "Choose Disk" system preference -- but only after the volumes are mounted on those Macs in the Finder.

How do i access my Time capsule HD from my PC

hi
I have just set up a new Time Capsule, how do i acess the HD on the time capsule from my PC?
Thanks,
Joel

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As the Time Capsule's drive is a network drive, you can access to the Time Capsule's hard drive without any problem.
In a PC, open a Windows Explorer window and select Network in the sidebar, so you should see your Time Capsule. Just double-click it and you will access to its drive. Also, you should be able to access to it from My Computer

HT1178 How can I access the Time Capsule HD from my PC?

Hi,
I bought the Time Capsule because I thought it was a easy way of creating a small home network with a shared HD and printer. The wireless setup was easy but everything else doesn't seem that straight forward. I soon found out that I could not just plug my USB printer. You actually need a WPS printer which was not clear in the product description. Anyhow, just need a new printer.
The main issue for me is being able to share files between my devices (Apple and non-Apple) as well as share the HD. I cannot find a way of configuring my PC or TC so that I can access the TC HD from my PC. Has anyone been able to configure that?
Thanks

You can plug a printer in via USB.. but not all printers work.. nor does airprint . but that has nothing to do with the Apple router.. that is how apple designed iOS.
What printer do you have?
Getting USB printer working can be tricky because by its nature you are networking a printer designed for local connection.. not networking.
To share printers and file sharing load the airport utility for windows into the windows computer.. that includes bonjour for windows which is helpful for sharing of apple network devices.. and there is a disk agent.
That might get you in without anything else.
No luck remember windows does not work well with the names apple uses by default.. make sure all names on the TC conform with windows networking.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
In windows explorer address bar type
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where clearly you replace the TCname with actual name or the TCIPaddress with the actual IP address).
If that still fails... then you have firewall issues.. turn off all firewalls in the PC .. there can be several running.
And make sure the PC is set to home as location . .not office or public.

Accessing same time capsule data from different computers

I have been using my Time Capsule to back up several Mac's, and everything is fine. But I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and after several days, wanted to upload (download? sync?) my iTunes library from one computer to the other. I cannot find a way for the new computer to 'see' the files from my old computer.

Time Machine is not designed to allow that.
And iTunes is not designed to allow you to do that either.
You should visit the iTunes discussion area to learn how to move/copy/share iTunes libraries between computers.

Can I access my Time Capsule over the Internet?

I want to know if it is possible to access my time capsule Hard Disk over the internet, How do I do it?

"Launch AirPort Utility and select "Manual Setup". Click on the "Disks" icon in the title bar, then on the "File Sharing" tab. That's where you set your Time Capsule to share as you want."
OK, checked that last night at home.
I'm at the hotel now with a good internet connection via ethernet.
What do I do now? Please provide step by step rather than a general statement.

Is it possible to remote-access my time-capsule to my home and downloads directly to it?

Hello,
I have only Macbook Air and iPhone.
I was wondering if its possible I could remotely access my time-capsule at home while I'm away and send downloads to it,
Once I get back the downloads are finished.

Is it possible to block access to the TC external hard drive
I am guessing here, that you may mean access to the internal hard drive on the TC
Set up a disk password for the Time Capsule hard drive.....and only give it to those that you want to have access to the hard drive.
This is not a foolproof method.....there are none, actually.....but it will keep honest folks away.

Remote access to Time Capsule won't work

Over the past couple of months I've been doing lots of research and planning into replacing my Mac Pro and old MacBook Pro with a new Mac setup. I was looking for efficiency, productivity and ultimate portability so the Macbook Pro Retina and Time Capsule grabbed my attention.
I was interested in the MacBook Pro Retina for work (travel) and home leisure use. Due to having so much music and video iTunes content, I was interested in purchasing a Time Capsule and a secondary external hard drive, placing all my iTunes content on the Time Capsule which I would then back up to the external hard drive when I was at home. I would then setup Time Capsule to be accessible over the internet so that I could view my media content through iTunes wherever in the world I was (internet speeds permitting of course). By doing this I could carry only my work files with me on the 512GB SSD Macbook Pro Retina, but could access the Time Capsule media files remotely, either via wi-fi or by tethering my iPhone 5.
So I purchased a Time Capsule to test my theory. I followed online guidance on how to achieve such a setup and using my 2008 MacBook Pro (which runs Snow Leopard) and a friends internet connection I got the system to work. I was able to remotely contact Time Capsule and watch High Def video content via wireless internet and even tethered to my iPhone. So I went and purchased a Macbook Pro Retina (running Mountain Lion) and set about setting up the system in the same way. But this is where something's gone wrong. I can't connect to the Time Capsule over the internet at all.
The Air Port utility has been updated to version 6 which is lacking the ability to instruct the Time Capsule to "Allow access over WAN". I thought I'd make sure it still connected via the internet using my old MacBook Pro, which had definitely worked perfectly just a couple weeks earlier, and that won't work either. I can't find the option to "Allow access over WAN" within Airport Utility 5.6.1 either? And the simple apple script application that I wrote (following an online guide) to open the remote connection to Time Capsule with the double left click on an icon has stopped working too.
I don't pretend to be a network engineer and I'm no I.T. expert, though I usually manage to teach myself what I need to know to sort issues like this out, but this has gotten me really stumped! I tried downloading an old version of Airport Utility to see if that had the "Allow access over WAN" feature (within the 'Disks' > 'File Sharing' area of Airport Utility) but my Mac OS won't allow the old versions to run.
Perhaps the version of Airport Utility I used on my Macbook Pro a couple of weeks ago didn't have the "Allow access over WAN" check box either and I just didn't notice - which is likely unless Airport Utility updates itself in the background without any prompts etc. I certainly didn't notice a software update for it any time over the past few days. Either way, I don't understand how it could have been working a few days back and now it's suddenly not.
I used this guides to gain remote access to Time Capsule successfully just a couple of weeks ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIQ7SzA1cK4
Can anyone shed any light on the issue and point me toward a fix please? I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks LaPastenague. I'm not sure if I have a static IP but I can confirm it hasn't changed in the past month.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that what I want to do isn't really possible using Time Capsule. Like I mentioned, I had remote access working a couple of weeks ago but it seems like apple have updated the firmware or airport software to remove something that was necessary to remotely connect in the same way. And even if I did get it working I think it would still be so restrictive, requiring a fast wifi or mobile phone tethered connection to view my media files over the internet.
I got connected via iCloud and B.T.M.M. but the connection was very slow and video wouldn't stream well at all (painful). It seems that the speed constraints would make it very frustrating each time I simply wanted to look through my vast iTunes music collection or movie library. Album covers won't appear either.
Even if it were possible to connect via a static IP I just don't think that the WAN connection would be stable or fast enough to offer an efficint solution(?), so I'll probably have to by an external portable HD and use Time Capsule for Time Machine and Printer Sharing.
I wish I could stream my iTunes movies and music successfully over the internet, but right now it just doesn't seem possible.

Is there a way to access my Time Capsule remotely when I only have a MacBook?

I heard that in order to access my Time Capsule remotely, I need to have more then one Mac. I that true?
I bought a TC, of course to make backups of my system, but I also bought it because I was told it could be used for 'cloud' storage . Can anyone help me out with this?
I have my TC set up on Bridgemode as I cannot turn off NAT on the router it is connected to.
BTW, I'm totally new to Mac (2 weeks), so please dumb it down as much as possible for me... Thx!!!

The port forwarding set up on my router looks like this:
I use port 8888 for both Public UDP and Private TCP Ports. Your provider may have a different port for you to use on your specific modem/router.
The Private IP Address is the fixed IP that my router assigns to the Time Capsule on the local network. Your router likely is using the 192.168 range, so your information here will look something like 192.168.1.25 for example.
You must use 548 for the Private UDP Port Setting and the same port 548 for the Private TCP Port on your modem/router setup.
Once the modem/router is set up with the required information, you can try to log onto your network.
Click the Finder Menu on your Mac on the lower left of the dock
Click the Go Menu at the top of the screen
Enter in the following in the address bar:
afp://staticIPaddress:portnumber
For example, say that my ISP has assigned me a Static IP address of 72.111.222.33
Then, the setting on my Mac would look like this:
afp://72.111.222.33:8888
Then, click Connect
You will be asked for the device password to connect to the Time Capsule

Possible or Not: Two Time Capsules One Network

Hey all,
In brief, I am wondering if it is possible to join 2x Time Capsules over the wifi network in order to extend the range of the wifi signal?
In depth, down stairs in the house we have an adsl router which is connected to time capsule no.1 via a CAT5 cable. The problem is that upstairs there is a number of "wifi dead spots"
My proposal is to install a 2nd Time Capsule upstairs and connect it to TC no.1 using the wifi signal. Then connect office computers via Ethernet and use TC no.2 to extend the wifi signals into the wifi dead spots.
I've read mixed reviews on if this is possible or not but your views are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hey Mate
TC 1 is your main time capsule and is connected to your modem via a CAT5 cable. It is set to "Create a wireless network" as it should be already.
TC 2 (your new TC or AE) is then set to "Extend a wireless network" it then connects to TC 1 over the wireless and:
(A) extends your existing wireless network on G and N if you get a dual band one.
(B) gives you a couple of extra usable ethernet ports.
The only problem I've noticed is when playing games either physically wired to TC2 or wirelessly connected to TC2 is an increased ping/latency.
However I highly recommend the setup and it works wonders for extending range, or setting up a remote LAN which you wish to have wired computers (connected over ethernet for fast transfer speeds) but also have to have access to the internet.
Hope this helps mate any more questions let me know.
Cheers

How do I access my time capsule over the internet

How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

Access your TIme Capsule from a different network?

Okay, I've been looking everywhere for a guide or how-to to do this, but my searches have been more or less fruitless, coming across outdated, incomplete or incompetent so-called "guides", so I thought I'd finally post a question myself, and see if anyone has actually been successful in doing this.
What I want to do is be able to do is access all the files stored on my Time Capsule from anywhere (using accounts and/or passwords), provided I have an internet connection. I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive, and it's great at home, but I have a lot of music, movies, photos etc that I don't have space for on my MacBook, so being able to connect to my Time Capsule from other locations would be awesome. I have seen many guides and how-to's, but no matter how closely I follow the steps, it never seems to work. If anyone has had any success using one of the guides, feel free to post the link below.
I am running the latest firmware on the Time Capsule (7.5.2) - the serial number is 6F01208ZAQG if that helps, the latest version of Airport Utility (5.5.2), my Time Capsule is connected to the internet via a Thomson TG585 v7 router (via Ethernet cable), I am on a MacBook running OS X 10.6.5, which is connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule, and if it makes any difference I am in New Zealand.
Any information would help, but if you're going to say "it doesn't work" or something not-so-helpful like that, could you please give a reason? I'm tired of you pessimists shooting everyone down.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Welcome to the discussion area!
It's been some time since I have used the "feature" to access files on the Time Capsule over the internet, so I can't remember all the details from 12-18 months ago. Some specifics I do remember:
1) You must have a "static" IP address for your internet service from your ISP
2) You must use a simple one port modem that will allow the Time Capsule to be the "main" router on the network
3) You must use Mobile Me from Apple to set this up
However, I notice that Apple no longer talks about this feature on the newer Time Capsule literature online, so that might be a hint that it is no longer being supported.
When did have it working, even small file transfers took forever. The connection, if I was using wireless, was often lost before transfers could complete.
I haven't tried the "how to" in the article below because I no longer travel for my job, but it might be worth a look for a different approach if Mobile Me is no longer providing this service.
