Length of the power cable for Time Capsule

This probably sounds like a ridiculous question, but I need to know how long the power cable is that comes with the Airport Time Capsule. I'm planning to buy one this week but will need to move some things around to accommodate it, hence my question!

72 inches or about 183 Centimeters.

Lost the power cord for time capsule!

So I've lost the power cord for my time capsule. I went to an Apple store and they don't sell them but the employee said that it is a standard cord and I should be able to pick one up at a Radio Shack or the like? Has anybody else had to do this? I can't find the specs on the time capsule either of exactly what type of cord is needed.

who ever told you that has Model: 61-2876 | Catalog #: 61-2876 cord in mind. I'm not sure if it will work...it looks close....are you saying you were told you can't order a replacement cord from Apple?

Anyone know the length of the power cable for the official dock for the K1?

The power cable that came with the Ideapad K1 isn't long enough to reach my power strip behind my desk. I was wondering how long the power cable is for the dock that I see in the Lenovo store?
Besides that, I love this tablet, nice and easy to hold, probably one of the most comfirtable tablets to hold (next to what Sony just released). I'm a little disappointed with the wifi connection and the reboots (down to maybe one today with the new launcher *sigh*). Even with the issues, I trust Lenovo more in terms of support then I do anyone else.

Big Daddy, One other thing I forgot to mention is, If you open the case on your device, you'll instantly void any warranty that came with it. Also, bear in mind, any modifications that you make to the antenna system on this device could not only make the FCC approval that Linksys was given for the device null and void. Be very careful with anything like an antenna system on these devices, you can actually recieve RF burns if you contact any bare metal of the antenna system when it is transmitting. Just bear in mind that 2.4GHz is more less the same frequency that a microwave oven uses (although at a LOT lower power). As a radio ham, I've had the odd RF burn and I can tell you, they really hurt!.

How can I make Time Machine use the ethernet cable to Time Capsule instead of the wireless connection? Wireless is too slow; has been taking 40 hours to create an initial 142 GB backup.

Plug in ethernet .. in the computer.. turn off wireless.

Does Mac still sell the power cables for the late 2005 version of these?

I recently purchased a PowerMac but the pervious owner did not have the power cable. I assumed it would be no problem and that I could take a power cord from one of my other Macs, but I now see that this late 2005 model has a different socket then most macs it is square with horizontaly running bars and looks like [--_--]. I want to know if Mac still makes replacements for these and if they sell them at the Mac stores.

Which is the best Option for Time Capsule setup.

Got my 2Tb time capsule today, burning to get home to set the whole system up but I have a few questions i'd like help with befor I jump in...
Here is my setup.
1) Cable internet connection running wifi through a Netgear WNR 2000 Which is a Wireless N device..
2) 2TB Time Capsule just unwrapped.
3) Macbook Pro
4) iphone
5) Hp office laptop running XP Sp 3
5)Really complicated appartment layout which makes a single Wifi base station battle for coverage in the entire appartment.
Ok so here is what I was thinking..
Keep the Netgear as the base station and use the Time Capsule as a Bridge in my office thus extending the range of my existing network..
1) Will using the TC on a wireless network as a repeater half my connection speed while doubling my coverage?? In that case it might be worth it..
2) Do I have any reason to believe I could get better coverage using the TC as the Base Station and trying to virtually impossible task of setting up the Netgear as a bridge?
3) Any ideas on other options open to me?

Welcome to the discussion area!
+1) Will using the TC on a wireless network as a repeater half my connection speed while doubling my coverage?? In that case it might be worth it..+
Unfortunately, the Time Capsule will only "extend" a wireless network if the network has been created by another Apple "n" router. So the Netgear would not be compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
If you could connect the Netgear and Time Capsule together using an ethernet cable, you would be able to create one large wireless network.
+2) Do I have any reason to believe I could get better coverage using the TC as the Base Station and trying to virtually impossible task of setting up the Netgear as a bridge?+
Not sure about "better coverage", but the Time Capsule would create dual band networks operating at both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz so faster devices could connect at 5 GHz for maximum speed and slower devices would connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
In addition, if the Time Capsule connects directly to your cable modem, you could enable the "guest" network feature if you needed that function. (However, if the Time Capsule is configured in the network as a "bridge", the guest network feature cannot be enabled).
On a quick glance, your Netgear router does not appear to be a simultaneous dual band device. If that's the case, you could configure it to expand either the 2.4 GHz band or 5 GHz band (assuming it will handle 5 GHz) for wider wireless coverage. But, the connection between devices would need to be via ethernet cable, and as you point out, the Netgear would need to configured as a "bridge" in this type of setup.
If running the ethernet cable is simply not possible, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. While not as good as a straight ethernet cable, this type of connection would still yield better performance than wireless only, if the devices were compatible.

Question to the Power Users RE: Time Capsule Disk Mgmt and Security

I was real excited to get the Time Capsule, but now since I have it I have to say its lack of security and disk management features are disappointing.
I am thinking of giving up on Time Machine backups completely (I have never been thrilled with TM) and using the Backup 3.0 that is available to .Mac users. If I backup one machine using TM to the TC, I can login from a different machine and modify/delete the backups, this is not secure from accidental or malicious access.
What I am hoping to do is to create logical partitions on the drive and use a program like PGP to encrypt the disk. This so far has been a real pain in the @$$ because of the lack of disk mgmt with the TC.
I have used the OS X disk utility to create a disk image (takes forever) and it does not automagically mount itself, so PGP will not recognize it is a disk. I then decided to start over and use the Airport Utility to erase the disk (this has been running for about 12 hours now, and is still flashing amber). I am not sure if this TC is DOA or just slow as cr@p.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make an out of the box TC more secure, please share.

Have you been able to get all of your applications to recognize the disk image as a place to save/create/modify files?
All applications? Only tried some - but since I was able to copy 56GB of iTunes content to the drive and access it with TuneRanger - I am fairly certain it is universally available.
With the encrypted disk image, can you decrypt that image from another machine with a passphrase? I believe the answer is no, which is why I want to use PGP to encrypt the disk image.
I believe the image is not machine restricted. The only encrypted image I have is on a USB memory stick. I will have to try and open it on my other mac.
I did create a 50GB disk image successfully, however I changed my mind and decided I wanted to create an image using the entire TC disk.
I deleted the disk image I had created, as well as the TM backups on the disk. I then used the Airport Utility to do a "quick" erase of the disk, and now 36 hours later it is still erasing the disk.
That sounds wrong.

HT1281 Where do I find the "Archive" option for Time Capsule disk in AirPort Utility

HT1281 is exactly about what I am trying to do, but AirPort Utility does not look like this on my Mac (Lion). Where do I find the "Archive" option mentioned here?

Where do I find the "Archive" option mentioned here?
Apple left this out (along with a number of other features and functions) in the new "upgraded" AirPort Utility.
Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which offers far more functionality. This version was introduced on the same day as AirPort Utility 6.0, but apparently many users missed it.
You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you want.

Replacement power cable for Photosmart 2570 Printer

Hi there, In a recent move I managed to misplace the power cable for my Photosmart printer. Has anyone any ideas on how I can obtain a replacement? HP haven't been helpful, but I feel there must be a way to replace this, rather than have to buy a new printer.

Hi - I'm not sure that you'll be able to order one through HP, but if you google 0950-4404, you should see a number of options for purchasing the power adapter.
Hope that helps.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

I am using a macbook pro with system 10.6.8. I just discovered that no recent files have been backed up to the external disk using Time Capsule. There is a long list of backups including most recent but no recent files, for some weeks, have been backed up. I did a full reset of Time Machine. I disconnected the external drive and reconnected it. It is not a matter of file types, no files and no folders have gotten backed up. Everything looks normal though unless one goes hunting for recent files on the back up.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Does the power cable from my 24" CinemaDisplay have to connected for the display to work. I just had it repaired and now it seems to have to be plugged into the laptop I dont remember it being like that before.

Is the power cable from the display required to be plugged into my MBP for my display to work. Recently had work done on the display (power supply replaced twice, glass replaced twice). Also since I got it back from repair my system goes to sleep sleeps even though I have it set not to. Frustrated

awesome, so you sound like you know what your going on about. im guessing its a Software fault tbh, because its like the phone is dead.. very upsetting..but with it not being the screen if they dont ask me to replace it and to send it off for repair what can i say as to a loan phone, mind a ease a little bit now i will just now wait for tommorrow to see what happens thank you

HT1178 Best Location for Time capsule (Does it help if placed Higher in the room?)

1500 Sq Ft Ranch - Hallway between computer room and open sapce of living room, kitchen, & dinning room + entrance to Master bedroom
and would it be better to locate in the very center of the home.
Our Older time Capsule reaches to the open area in the center but at times will only pick up in the center of the open space. Other times it very stron in the entire center living area.
I'm expecting the capsule to reach all of the area up to the master Bed room. Not used in the bed room. On our back deck, (52 feet by 18' long) with roof over deck it will be strong on entire deck when the window in the computer room is very small opening at the top. ( old time capsule)
Can place the Newtime capsule in any area.
Computer backs up to Hallway
Can run Cat6 cablesto any area in home.
We operate off Hughes Net New Gen4 satelite (Very Fast Like our T! connection On long Island NY. ( retired to vermont - Normal conections on Phone etc up here would take 24 hours to down load Max osx updates and that is starting it at midnight.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well, as you know it is impossible to ever predict wireless performance in advance....but the general rule would be that it is better to locate the Time Capsule higher, rather than lower.
Ideally, the Time Capsule will be located where wireless devices have a clear line-of-sight signal path to the Time Capsule. Another way of saying the same thing is to imagine that the Time Capsule is a water sprinkler and you want to get as much of the house as wet as possible.
Or, think of the Time Capsule as a strong light. You want to light up as much of the house as possible where wireless devices will be used.
You will likely have to make compromises keeping in mind that a typical wall constructed of sheetrock and 2 by 4s will absorb...on average....about 15-20% of the wireless signal. Brick, cement, or plaster over lathe will absorb a much higher percentage of the signal. Users often forget that large mirrors are in fact a large metal barrier, not allowing much of the signal to pass through.
If you find that the signal will not cover all of the areas where you need a wireless signal, you will need to consider adding an AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless signal further in one direction.

Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

Thanks iPod Whisperer--
I do realize that the nano will resume where I left off in my audiobook if I reload the file that was last playing.
What I was hoping is that the 6g nano would work like my previous iPods and default to the last file played the next time played after Iused sleep mode instead of going to some random song on the iPod.
Since I usually have a lot of audiobooks on my iPod--and most of those have 10-15 files in them, it's a pain to have to navigate to the correct file (and try to remember which of the 10-15 files I was last playing). On all my other iPods I could simply hit play and it would start up in the audiobook right where it left off.
Note--this only happens if I use the sleep timer to turn off the iPod. If I pause the book myself, when I turn the iPod back on it'll "remember" what file it was playing.
Hope this makes sense.
