ITunes to time capsule when a purchase is made
I want to down load purchases straight from itunes to my time capsule, my mac air is full and it seems to always be an issue.
It would be better to put your iTunes material on an external disk connected to your MacBook Air via USB.

The HD was recently changed on my MacBook Pro and I lost my iTunes library (Time Capsule died also!) but all my songs are still on my iPhone4. How can I copy them back to my laptop? Tks
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -
My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!
If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and MacBookPro
It is generally better to leave the old backups and start again.. unless there is something you particularly need.
But if you desperately want all the old backups you have to copy the sparse bundles.. this will take very long time as it must copy via the computer..

Take particular note of the initial comments.. ie before you read how to do it.. don't do it. -

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.
I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts. -
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times. When I connect my iPod Classic I get the following message: The software for this iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software. Any ideas?

Safe to turn off time capsule when not using it?
Should you turn off your time capsule when you are not using it or should you just leave it on all of the time?? I really don't want it to die on me... Thank you.

Can i store or back up my itunes on Time capsule?
can i store or back up my itunes on Time capsule?
You can store your itunes on the TC but you should not.
The Time Capsule has no easy backup method. It is a backup device.. not a NAS.
If the itunes is on a computer connected to the TC and running Time Machine the itunes will be backed up. is this what you mean? You can also make a copy of the itunes but not use it as a main store. -

Why doesn't disk utility recognize time capsule when finder does recognize it as a shared device?
I don't have a TC, but I hate Network solutions, as there is no way to repair them!
Not wishing to look up what a TC can do, is there any wayto connect it directly??? -
Why dont my itunes download to iphone when I purchase from my Mac, why dont my itunes download to iphone when I purchase from my Mac?
It really isn't necessary to yell at me. I've done nothing wrong to you have have treated you with respect. Something you are not doing with me.
I suggest you check the manual, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf to see if it requires wifi for this to work. You might also want to try a reset on your device. It will have no affect on your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if this will cause the content to download. You also have the option to go to iTunes Store>More>Purchased and you can select the purchases and download them. -
No light on my Time capsule when plugged in (fuse checked and OK) - looks like a dead unit, can I recover the files on it?
Use migration assistant.
See http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
Although this is only up to Mountain Lion it is still relevant to Mavericks.. only expect Mavericks to kick and buck a lot more. -
I'm trying to transfer my library to my time capsule so I can access the music from both my MacBookAir and my MacBook Pro. However, when I follow the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449, I never see all my music in the library on my MacBookAir. All I see is my "purchased" music on the Air even though the preferences are pointing towards the music folder on my time capsule. Help!?!
i assume the library is currently on the MBP. copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your MBP to the TC's drive, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes at a time can access the library. -
Is it possible to store all my music in time capsule and use the itunes in TC to create playlists that i can later sync with all my devices?
I dont want to store music files in my MB Air, i just want to sync playlists which I created in TC to my MB Air.
Same with Pictures.
Thanks for your help!Possible yes..
Highly not advisable..
There is zero backup in the TC.. when it crashes.. which it will one day.. it will take all your items.
TC is a backup device not a NAS. -
ITunes on Time Capsule : having trouble finding track files
I recently coupled up my Mac Mini to a Time Capsule with the intent of using the TC as my iTunes music server. This has been documented in several threads here already, but this is what I did:
1. Copied my entire iTunes music folder (i.e. all the MP3s) onto a subdirectory of my TC called Music.
2. Started iTunes for the first time on my Mac Mini and created a new library (I don't care about my meta data at the moment)
3. In the Advanced Settings I set my music folder to point at the TC's :Music folder.
4. Unchecked the appropriate boxes so that iTunes is prevented from copying or reorganising my music library.
5. Used the "Add Folder..." menu item to import all the music into the iTunes library.
Here's the problem: When I browse through the track list each track has a little exclamation icon next to it. This usually indicates that the file cannot be located. If I select the file and hit the Play button nothing happens (as you would expect). If I open up the track properties it states that the file cannot be found (again, as one would expect). However, if I double click on the track it suddenly starts playing and the exclation icon dissappears! So the file has magically been found....
Now I don't want to have to go through my entire library double clicking each file one at a time otherwise I'll be here until the end of eternity. Does anyone know what has gone wrong here, or know how this can be remedied?I have experienced the pointer problem during the learning phase of connecting my network to TC. I think it much more important to get the network (interference and dropouts, preference user wants and speed) right first then deal with the relationship of itunes to TC.
Any kind of change I made to the TC within the network produced the pointer problem. Example, I had everything set so I changed the multi cast rate and the pointer problem surfaced, changing the wireless name caused it and changing the TC name also.
Since then I've settled into no change of any kind once I got my network the way I wanted and currently no pointer problems.
