Looking for Model # on Time Capsule

How do you find the model number of my airport time capsule? The bottom is not legible.

Open your airport utility.
Hold down the option key and double click the TC icon.
You will get the full summary page.. at the top of the list is Model.
But you should see it on the label if you use a magnifying glass.. it is molded into the first line of the rubber on older ones.. and on the label on later.

Will Mountain Lion work with old models of Time Capsule?

I was using an online backup service but it slowed down my machine so I want to go to an external drive backup. I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and I am thinking of purchasing an older version of Time capsule for my backups. My question is will mountain lion work with older models of Time Capsule? thanks so much.....

Yes. I have a first generation Time Capsule and it works fine.
Just make sure you buy at least 3 times the GB you are trying to backup. More is better.

Some of these services may be being used for hacking my Time Capsule?

Hi,
I was scanning services from a connected PC on my network but not directely in my time capsule and I picked these services below:
NetBIOS Session Services
SMB directy over IP
AFP over TCP
Apple Airport WAP Administration
SecureNet Pro Sensor https management server or apple airport admin
My question is: Some of these services may be being used for hacking my Time Capsule?
Attached SIMPLE DESIGN FROM MY HOME NETWORK,

Ok the TC did seem to get the raw end of the deal.. (I am not sure what the other end is.. cooked maybe??)
What model is it.. Gen1 or Gen2 are very prone to issue of overheat and eventual power supply failure.
See internet for loads of info on the issue.
Here is my version.

You can open the TC and remove the disk.. if it is still operational you can get your files.. Gen1 Hitachi drives are still going strong.. it is the power supply that goes.
Gen3 is a different issue..
Tell us your model number from the rubber foot label.. A1xxx??
Decide if repair is worthwhile.. with a bit of DIY a repair or replacement to the power supply can be made.
There is no space in the TC for dual drives.
And if the power supply goes anyway there is no recovery apart from pulling it apart.

If you are looking for a Creative player only The Zen V and Zen V plus are good options. I think they will satisfy most of your requirements.
Strike that, I don't think this will act as an "external hard dri've" as described in bMessage Edited by fdreinthea on 2-2-200605:37 AM

For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?

Jloe,
As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen. We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
Sorry for your problems. GC

What is the most reliable modem for my Apple Time Capsule.

ooking at getting a new modem because my Router/Gateway (Arris DG960) is not translating my port forwarding from my Apple TC. I have done a lot research and the general consensus is that the best router is the Motorola SB6141. That being said over 75% of reviews that involved Apple TC's stated that they had a lot of trouble with it working with the TC. Most suggestions led me to the Zoom 5341J. It seams to have a much better success rate with Apple TC. Any other modems that I should consider? Anybody else own, experienced these routers? I am looking for a modem only, no modem/router.

I thought the Motorola SB6141 was the best choice about 8 months ago when all the glowing test reports said it was best, and I had always had good results from their products in the past. So, it might be the best.
But, I tried 3 different SB6141s over the first week and none would hold an Internet connection more than 3-4 hours. Might have been a bad run....it happens.....but 3 trips to the store was enough, and Time Warner support said they had been getting reports of problems at the time with a firmware mixup on the Motorola, so I decided to toss a coin and try to get some work done.
I had no idea what to try next, but my wife was with me when I went out modem hunting.....and she liked the appearance of the Netgear CMD31T because she thought that it matched the AirPort Extreme nicely. Reason enough. It was "best" in her mind.
So, we tried a Netgear. Operation has been flawless since we plugged it in. Not one single drop that I know of in 8 months.....not counting a power outage during an ice storm.
The last time that I posted on a similar question to say that I had had good luck with the Netgear, it was only a few hours before another user trashed it, saying that the Motorola was the better product by far. And it might be. But, stuff like that is normal for the forums.
The Netgear might explode tomorrow, but I would probably try another if it did.
I have no idea what your results might be with any modem that you choose.

How to set up for wireless through time capsule

I have at&t u-verse but I disabled the wireless in u-verse modem and now have forgotten the steps to take to set up my time capsule but to wireless. I had my time capsule used as wireless router before we moved to a different state but it has been a few months not that I was using the at&t wireless router and I didn't like it and my time capsule would not back up so that's when I realized I must disable my wireless in the At&t modem and use the time caspule wirelss. Please help. Thank you

Power on the Time Capsule for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button firmly with a ball point pen or something similar for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> Ethernet ports on the back of the Uverse router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
On your Mac, open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Other WiFi Devices tab
Click on the Time Capsule
The setup utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the connections then suggest a setup on a screen that looks like this:
Type in a simple name that you want to use for the Wireless Network Name
Type in a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
Type in a password
Verify the password
Click Next
The utility will set everything up for you in a minute or two. When you see the message of Setup Complete on the screen, click Done
You can now log onto the wireless network that you created by selecting the name and entering the password
Post back on your progress and we will next get backups going again

Adding support for AirPlay to Time Capsule network

Right now my Time Capsule (hard drive no longer in use) is connected to my cable modem and provides a wireless network for the entire house. The Macs all connect via wifi, and the one Windows machine uses a previous model Airport Express to provide an ethernet connection. The modem is moving about 15' away from the center of the house to a cabinet that will also contain my A/V equipment, and I want to provide a way to stream music through the A/V equipment without connecting a computer.
I'm thinking that I need an Airport Express connected to the A/V equipment to support AirPlay. I could simply replace the Time Capsule with the AE, as long as the range of the AE is sufficient. What would I lose in this configuration?
If the range of the AE is not sufficient, I think I could use the TC as a repeater. OTOH, now I'm up to three base stations (old AE, new AE, TC); would that necessarily lead to poor wireless performance?
If the TC has more range than the AE, then I guess I could connect the TC to the cable modem, then go ethernet to the AE, although some posts here indicate that it may not be possible to turn off the wireless on the AE.
Any suggestions as to a reasonable approach?

Digging through the documentation I found some clues:
The 2nd generation Airport Express outputs 20.5 dBm max, compared to 20 dBm nominal for my Time Capsule.
The 1st gen AE runs either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
The Time Capsule and 2nd gen AE run both simulateously.
The Time Capsule has three ethernet LAN ports while the AE has one.
It appears that the 2nd gen AE could replace my Time Capsule (being used as an Airport Extreme) and adds AirPlay and the guest feature.
Am I missing anything?

Can I use an external drive for a 2nd time capsule backup? Other questions too

My setup:
1 Macbook Air
1 Mac mini as HTPC
1 Mac mini as a media server (5tb and growing) with external drives.
I want to get a 2tb time capsule to back up my laptop and mac mini that i use as a HTPC. Simple enough....
Since the new gen airport extremes support external drives to a time machine back up i want to plug a CineRAID device with 4 6TB drives (12gb of storage in a RAID) and use that as a backup for my media server. Could I just plug it directly into the mac mini? Yes, but i am trying to have the lest amount of clutter possible visible. So i want to put in a closet where my router is..
So can I plug in the CineRAID into the usb port for a 2nd time machine backup with massive storage?
Option 2:
Just get an airport extreme and use the CineRAID for a backup via USB...
Also, how much space does the airport extreme support? Like i said up time I am at 5tb but its growing fast

So can I plug in the CineRAID into the usb port for a 2nd time machine backup with massive storage?
There is conflicting advice about whether a RAID setup will work with Time Machine, so you can find information that will say that it will work and other info that will say that it will not. In general, Apple says that Time Machine must "see" the RAID drive as a single partition, but they also say that you need to check with the support folks at the drive manufacturer for more details.
The only way that you will know whether it will work or not on your network, is try it out on your network.
Please let us know about your results.
Just get an airport extreme and use the CineRAID for a backup via USB...
Same as above.
how much space does the airport extreme support?
The firmware on an AirPort Extreme will support up to a 4 TB drive, but I have not tried it on a larger drive, so we'll need another user to answer on that one. Here again, it would be wise to try a few "tests" before you try to backup or transfer a large amount of data.

New vs. Old Model of Time Capsule... Advantages?

I'm about to buy a Time Capsule and see there is a close-out model, MB277LL/A and a new model, MB765LL/A. But I'm not seeing any real comparisons of the two. Are there enough new features in the new model to go that way, versus save $150 or so and go the older model? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Acutally these are two separate features of the new model. Dual band keeps the connection from slowing down if someone connects using a computer that only supports the slower connection. Older routers default to the slower connection speeds if there are any G clients.
Guest networking works on both connections. Your guests could be using the same radio to connect as you, but it will appear that they are on a different network. They will also not be able to see any of the computers on your network and also not any of the computers on the "guest" network, unless you have enabled this on the Time Capsule.
If you have any devices that use 802.11G and newer devices that use 802.11n then it is definitely worth the $150. Sharing your internet with friends without compromising security is nice too.
I did notice that connections seem stronger than the Airport Extreme that I replace that shipped the same time as the old Time Capsule.

Thunderbolt Adapter and USB for Backups to Time Capsule?

Hi,
Would there be any [speed] benefit in using the Thunderbolt port on my iMac (and MacBook Ar ) with the appropriate adapter to backup my devices to a Time Capsule, rather than just the network port, please?
I appreciate it would probably be better with my MBA over a wireless network, but the TB port doesn't seem to work :-(
Thank you.

Besides additional monitors, ThunderBolt is also for having high speed access to data. In order to do that the storage can't be just plain disk drives. They are so slow that many other bus structures can be used for them. In order to get the full functionality of ThunderBolt you must use things such as RAID Arrays that are able to move data faster.
For backup there is no really little or no need for speed and in fact the expenses involved in the high speed access would just be wasted on backup. It is really working with the data what that expensive is worth while considering.

Is a switch a better option for networking a Time Capsule?

My Internet service is a Cable Modem with a single LAN port. I use both a Time Capsule and a VOIP service (from Vonage). I am also a Mobile Me subscriber and use Back to My Mac.
If I connect the devices in the order: Cable Modem -> Time Capsule -> Vonage (TC port #1) & Mac (TC port #2) everything works properly except when Time Machine backups it causes the VOIP to degrade to unusable during that time period.
Could I place a switch just after the Cable Modem and have everything work?
Cable Modem -> Switch -> Vonage VOIP (Switch port #1) & Time Capsule (Switch port #2) with Mac on TC port #1
Thank you for any suggestions!

Hello Paul Melia. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Could I place a switch just after the Cable Modem and have everything work?
Cable Modem -> Switch -> Vonage VOIP (Switch port #1) & Time Capsule (Switch port #2) with Mac on TC port #1
Unfortunately, no. That will not work as you have intended. If your Vonage VoIP device is actually a wired router, then you may want to try the following configuration instead:
Cable Modem -> Vonage VoIP > Time Capsule
You would then want to reconfigure the Time Capsule as a bridge to allow the Vonage device to continue to provide NAT & DHCP services for your entire network.
