My ATV is full, how can I move the contents to my Time Capsule?

My Apple TV is full (although some of its contents appear as other and I cannot see them). I have a MacBookPro and a Time Capsule. I back up my mac everyday, but what I want to do is to erase content from my ATV so I can download more in it. Is it possible to sync the content of the ATV directly to the time capsule? So I can have my library in the time capsule and don't get my mac's hard disk full either?
Thanks!

You could use custom syncing to sync only unwatched videos, that would delete them from the ATV once they've been watched through to the end, but they would remain in the iTunes library. You could also move your iTunes library to your Time Capsule if you want to free up space on your MBP hard drive.
You would need to copy your library folder to the Time Capsule, then change the library location in iTunes preferences. Once you've confirmed everything is working properly, you can delete the files from your MBP. Regardless of where your library is located, it's a good idea to keep your files backed up to DVDs.

    Do you mean copy it?  If so, see #18 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions  You'll need section 2 there.

  • How can you extend the signal range of time capsule

    I have a time capsule in my office down stairs, and my apple tv upstairs, but the signal strength is very week (only one bar) so when I try to stream a movie is very slow. There is some thing I can do or buy to make the signal stronger??
    Thank you.

    You can add an AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network" to improve the wireless signal. Locate the AirPort Extreme approximately half way between the Time Capsule and the Apple TV.
    Setup instructions are here:

  • How can I access the data on my time capsule remotely?

    I see the drive under the shared tab in Finder, but I cannot open it.  I am at school and need to access documents that are stored on my time capsule at home.  When I set everything up, I enabled "sharing over WAN" and everything and set up the password access. The software is up to date. How can I get into my drive? I tried logging into icloud.com, but the only apps I see are the standard contacts, notes, etc. HELP!!!!!!!

    You need to follow the BTMM via icloud instructions.
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
    There are plenty of other ways to do it.. but issues to do with Apple not using a dynamic DNS client so if your ISP does not allocate you a static public IP there is no way to find it, if the public ip rotates as they are designed to do hourly or daily.
    Do a google search, remote access time capsule..
    Or use the more like this on the right hand side... there are plenty of posts and even youtube video which go right through it.
    BTW your school system may simply block the port.. if I was a school IT admin.. I would. You are dragging files across to the internal school network bypassing the firewall.. that is unacceptable risk to the whole school system.

  • How can I view the files on my Time Capsule without using Time Machine?

    In the past Time Machine was backing up to a regular external disc and I could view the files easily. I'm new to the Time Capsule and not sure this is possible as I can't "find" the Time Capsule disc.
    Thanks for any tips

    The Time Capsule's drive appears as a network drive, so it doesn't show up as an external drive.
    To access to it, first make sure you are connected to the Time Capsule. Then, open a Finder window and you will see the Time Capsule's drive in the sidebar, under "Shared". Select it and you will be able to access to the files stored in the Time Capsule

  • How can I access the files on my time capsule?

    I bought this thinking it could be used as additional storage, like a hard drive only wirelessly.  It appears to be functioning as backup but I don't know how to access the files to see if it actually is.  Any advice?  When I click on time machine in the finder it just takes me to a folder that says Data with no entry for date modified.  Yet elsewhere it tells me it has been backing up every half hour or so.  Whats the deal?

    You do not access the backup file store directly.. you access it via Time Machine.. the files are not stored in a way you would directly access anyway.. all files are stored as a backup in a very complex structure.
    Read Q14-17 on how to use restore to get files out of the TM backup.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    If you want to access files on the TC, copy them directly to the TC .. don't use backups as a method of access to other devices.

  • How can I change the settings in my time capsule to support UPnP?

    Trying to change the settings on my time capsule to support UPnP so I might remotely access 3rd party software.  Any suggestions?

    Apple routers do not support UPnP.  They do support NAT-PMP, but that requires that you manually enter in the port values to set up what is known as Port Mapping.
    But, first things first. is the Time Capsule set up as the DHCP and NAT router for the network, or do you have another router upstream from the Time Capsule on the network?
    Another way to ask the same question......what is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    Hi,
    If you would like to move your source models, target models and project contents from Work repository 1 to another work repository.
    I.e. Dev. server to Prod Server.
    1. Firstly, replicate the master repository connections i.e. with same naming conventions manually
    2. Go to Dev. Server work repository -> File Tab -> Click on Export work repository (save it in a folder)
    3. After exporting, you can view the xml files in the folders.
    4. Now, Open the Prod. server and make sure you already replicated mas. rep. details.
    5. Now, right click on model and import source model in synonym mode insert_update (select source model from the folder where your xml file located)
    6. Similarily, import again target then Project.
    Now, check. It should work.
    Thank you.

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

    I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.  (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone.  They will be added to iCloud and appear on icloud.com and any other devices syncing contacts with your account.

  • I have so many photos I only have 1G of memory left.  How can I move the photos to my external hard drive that is connected to my iMac?

    I have so many photos on my Mac I only have 1G of memory left.  How can I move the photos to the external hard drive that is plugged into my iMac.

    1GB? It's a miracle your Mac is running at all!
    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    EXTREMELY poor idea! Leave the apps on the internal HD. You can move files and libraries from iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, Aperture, etc.. to an external HD but leave the apps them self on the internal HD.
    Did you empty the Trash after moving all that data to the EHD??
