Just bought Time capsule 2tb from apple No Airport CD in the package

I just bought the time capsule from an Apple store,  The setup manual called about a Airport CD which was not in the package,  I have setup my wifi at home, however I have to setup a Windows Vista (already joined the time capsule) for printing,  The manual stated using the Airport CD to installl Bonjour for windows.
Should i have a cd with the purchase?
with my dlink router  (which i just replaced with Time capsule) i was able to set time restrictions for all computers on the wi-fi ,  when to access the web. mac address restrictions,  I do not appear to have that capability with the time capsule.  is this correct?  I configured the time capsule via  the airport utility on my mac,  no additional cd.  by not having the cd am i missing additional confguration parameters that I can tweak?

by not having the cd am i missing additional confguration parameters that I can tweak?
No, assuming that you have the most recent version of AirPort Utility, which is 5.5.3. You can open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Utility menu next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
Click Check for Updates.
Using the Timed Access feature on the Time Capsule, you can set up individual restrictions for devices that are allowed to connect to the wireless.
Bonjour for Windows is here:

  • I have just bought time capsule and airport works

    I have just bought time capsule and the airport part is working, but when I try to link to the back up disc I get a request for a password. "writeconfig wants to use the "com.apple.parentcontrols.keychain.YynLph keychain. Any ideas? I've tried a number of passwords for the mac and none work.

    Please see Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ.
    You can do it from using a paper clip and the reset button on the back of the unit. See the link above.

  • Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac?

    Hi all - Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router given that my Uverse router works splendidly.  Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac? Sorry if this is a boneheaded question, but this is my first time backing up my machine ( I know, foolish). Thanks!

    Your problem will be if you use wireless for internet then you cannot do both internet and backup at once.. you still should plug the TC into the uverse router and set it in bridge mode.. you can setup wireless if you like on the TC and use either TC or uverse but you must work out how to do both at once.
    If you use ethernet on the Mac then wireless to backup is also a bit of an issue.. please ask as I can show you the setup.. or visa versa.. wireless for internet and ethernet for backup..

  • Just bought Time Capsule and im confused.

    I just bought time capsule and I didn't want to open it yet since I don't want to pay the 10% restocking fee if i opened it. So i have a couple questions
    my internet provider is telus, and i don't want to take out my modem. Is there anyway to just add this on so? all i want to do is too wirelessly back up my files.
    Can you please give me step by step instructions? And one more thing do I need to pay extra to my internet provider?
    Thank you

    Is there anyway to put the Time Capsule on the third floor?
    You need to either use a wireless modem and plug the other devices into the Time Capsule through Ethernet, or run an Ethernet cable between the modem and the Time Capsule, or use another AirPort base station to broadcast the wireless signal and the Time Capsule to extend it.

  • My computer is macbook white with iOS 10. 6.8, will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and what does it mean administrate the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

    my computer is macbook white with Mac OS X (10. 6.8), will i able to use the new Airport Time Capsule 2TB and work properly with Time Capsule on my computer to back up wirelessly?
    And what does it mean "to administrate" because it was written in requirement of the Airport Time Capsule 2TB ?

    You must use a Mac running Lion (10.7.5), Mountain Lion or Mavericks to be able to set up the Time Capsule and make any changes to the settings.
    A recent version iPhone or iPad could also be used for this task.
    From the Specifications on the Time Capsule:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3

  • I just bought a new "Time Capsule" 2TB.  Apple says it is "Server Grade".  What does this mean?

    I just bought a new 2 TB "Time Capsule".  I read somewhere recently that Apple claims this unit has a "server grade" drive.  I am reading here that the Time Capsule appears to have many failures.
    I am asking today if the failure rate amongst users here is about typical for a large external drive or....and is the drive contained in this unit just another 2TB drive made by anycompany?

    The original TC came with a Seagate 500GB ES drive. that was the seagate server series and were a better drive.. i dare say other than the dead power supply many of those drives will still be working fine. It is mean time between failures that is the measure of server grade. Since that time MTBF numbers  quoted by drive manufacturers all exceed the value that was in 2008 deemed server quality.. so they will claim server grade. Although all the drives used today are pedestrian domestic cheap ones.
    But do not think the drives don't die.. they do..And new bigger drives means more data lost in one hit than ever before. I have seen a spate of WD dead drives.. both black from Gen2 1TB and green lately.. one on the bench today is a Gen4 with 2TB WD20EARS that corrupted the data partition of the drive. Getting data back is expensive and time consuming.. to say nothing of uncertain, having spent all the money that the recovered files are of any use.
    Be paranoid... like Bob!! Keep a backup and another backup of all the stuff that you deem important. Remember in the past you had your photo album on film strips and printed in books. Now they are electronic digital format.. and a wave of the emf wand and they all disappear.. !!

  • Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

    Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

    Bad luck. Take ti back.

  • Hi i have just bought a used ibook from goodwill and need to reset the id and password.is there anyway to do this? i called tech support and they said to try here because our ibook is considered opsolete and they can't help me. thanks

    hi before i start i did not steal it, i bought a used ibook and need to know if there is a way to reset or get past the old user id and pass word. we bought it from goodwil so no way to ask old owner and i called tech support and it is conciderd opsolete so no help from them and know one in this area works on mac. so what can i do?  this is for my daughter and we are not rich thats why we bought used. thanks for any help.

    Here are the instructions, as I have them:
    Press the Command + s key during startup. This takes you to Single User Mode, where you will see a command line.
    Type this when the command-line prompt (>) appears:
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    When the iBook restarts, you will see the setup screen. This allows you to create a new account. BE SURE to give yourself administrative privileges. You can now use this new account and set it to log in automatically with this new account if you don't want to be bothered with the login screen every time you start up.
    You can also delete the old account if you want to free up some hard drive space.
    Good luck!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    However, it is desirable to do it with the disc, if it is available, which is why I waited to see if the user has the disc before supplying the instructions for doing it via Single User Mode.

  • Access HDD of Airport Time Capsule 2TB from Windows 7 PC?

    Dear Community,
    I have difficulties to access the hard drive of my new ATC from my Windows 7 PC.
    It works completely fine with my MacBook. The wireless works fine from my Windows PC. It is only the HDD that I cant get a connection to.
    I installed the Airport Utiliy and it is "unabled to find any AirPort wireless devices". I tried the amateur stuff to fix it (de-activate the firewall, etc.).
    My question is: what are the tests I have to run so I can locate the issue? What are the common reasons for the HDD not to be recognized?
    Note: the PC is a company laptop - so there might be some settings through that. But if I know the source of the issue I can ask our company IT to change those settings.
    Let me know if you need more info to help!
    Thanks!
    Michael

    The failure of the airport utility to find the TC suggests something more fundamental is wrong.
    1. Use ethernet. Plug the laptop directly into the TC. Make sure you have internet connection and wireless is off.
    2. In windows explorer type directly into the address bar the TC name or IP address.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    If both of them fail and you still have internet access then the issue is firewall.
    3. Test again with airport utility.
    4. Ensure that the PC is set to home location, not work or public. Turn off all internet security, not just the firewall you can see.. as there can be another you cannot see. 
    5. If your laptop is setup for windows domain controller, then explain to your IT department you want to connect to peer to peer resources at home. It maybe blocked somehow.

  • I have a wireless modem just want time capsule to backup do I have to use Ethernet cable

    I just bought time capsule to wirelessly backup since I never remembered to connect my old system that stopped working. If I just plug it in will my Mac see it or do I have to have the time capsule connected to the modem/wireless router in the house? 

    Our recommendation would be to follow the instructions in the Time Capsule Setup Guide to connect the Time Capsule to your modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection.
    If you have plenty of time to experiment, and do not become frustrated easily, you might be able to configure the Time Capsule to connect using wireless only.  But, even if you succeed with the setup,  there are some serious downsides here:
    1) This type of configuration is not officially supported by Apple
    2) Backups will take twice as long as normal due to a "double hop" connection that must occur during backups.
    "Hop one" would the wireless connection between the Mac and your modem/router. "Hop two" would be the signal traveling back again from the modem/router to the Time Capsule.
    3) In addition to taking twice as long as normal, the chances of an error occurring during a backup are doubled.
    Since this type of backup is VERY SLOW, you would want to allow a full day or two for the first backup of your Mac to the Time Capsule.  The same backup using a wired Ethernet connection would probably take a 2-3 hours.
    The bottom line here is that this is perfect example of a situation where the fact that you might be able to do something does not in any way imply that you should do it.
    But, it's your decision.

  • I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

    If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

  • I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  AE no longer works.

    I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  Airport Express no longer connects to my network.  I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.

    TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.
