My MacBook Po can not connet with Time Capsule for Internet. Back-up are ok

Hi to all,
If I connect the ADSL line to Time Capsule no Internett available.
If connect the live with eternet cable to MacBook pro all is fine.
Mack book pro do all the backup with Time Capsule in WiFi
Hot to have the MacBook connectid to Time Capsule in WiFe for internet too??
Easy explanation please, I'm really beginner

Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
Correct, it will work.
I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection.  You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

  • Can i use 2 time capsule for the back of the same Mac computer, for improve the security of the data store

    I will save my data in 2 time capsule at the same time for improve data security

    Mountain Lion added this ability.. it doesn't do two backups at the same time but each time it backs up it uses the alternative location.
    Under Lion you can manually set it to use a different target.. this isn't difficult but you must do it.

  • Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time

    Hi,
    Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time, and the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger. The transfer bytes per second between master and slave is 118MB/s , upper limit to the ethernet card. Why???
    ENVIRONMENT:
    1. A network program which we called mcdb is based on BDB 4.8.30. It is used to accept get/set requests and then query data from bdb or save data to bdb.
    2. mcdb implements replication with bdb replication manager api. The default start replication policy is DB_REP_ELECTION, rep ack policy is DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER and rep priority is 100.
    3. The bdb data files, bdb log files, region files and rep files are all in the same home directory.
    4. There are two instances of the mcdb are separately on two standalone servers which has no other programs. These two instances are in one replication group which can elect a master automatically.
    5. The master instance is online, which has lots of requests (get, set, delete).
    ACTIONS:
    1. Start two mcdb instances on two servers and the two instance make a replication group. Slave has already synchronized with the master.
    2. Stop the slave for a long time (more than 20 hours).
    3. Start the slave instance to synchronize data with master.
    RESULT:
    1. the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger.
    2. db_stat of master and slave:

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this issue is beyond the level of what is supported over the forum. Performance related issues are extremely complex and require an in-depth understanding of your environment and dedicated support. In a generic sense, you can look at this as a basic queueing problem. You have a server that went down and work is still coming in. When the server gets started it is possible that it may never catch up depending on new work coming in and the rate at processing the old work.
    So what would you do in this case --- one thing would be to reduce the new work coming in. In HA terms this would be slowing the master down and you can increase DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT for this. Another thing you could do is add fresh servers to help reduce the workload. In HA terms, this would be the equivalent of restarting the client and give it a fresh look at everything. Another thing you could do is replan the system and load balance. In HA terms, it would mean something like take a hot backup of the master and reinit a client from scratch.
    If you are interested in getting a dedicated support person working on this concern, please let me know and we can move forward down that path. Just respond to the thread with your email address and I will get in contact with you so we can pursue that approach.
    thanks

  • HT1218 Macbook Air can't find my Time Capsule!?!

    Bought a new macbook air, it can't find my time capsule for some reason utilizing airport utility.  It was originally set up with another macbook almost three years ago.  Anyone know why this is happening?  I want to set it up to back up my files (macbook air) as well as take advantage of the extra storage/hard drive space for photos and music, etc...

    Nevermind, I figured it out myself.  I had a WiFi network and a guest WiFi network.  The timecapsule was on one and my mac on the other.  Once I adjusted them to be the same it fixed the problem.  Thanks for all your help...Not!

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
    Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

  • Can I use a Time Capsule for ADDITIONAL storage for a Mac Air which has run limited storage space

    Hi
    I am looking at purchasing the current MacBook Air but am aware of its limited storage space in terms of files, photos etc.
    Was wondering if I could use a time Capsule for both back-up and as an additional storage device.  Ie: would I be able to store photos and files on the Time Capsule that I do not wish to store on a MacBook Air and be able to retrieve them as and when - or would these be deleted after a period of time?  Is there any way of protecting certain files on the Time capsule to prevent them from being deleted?
    Many thanks in advance

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can but it's not recommended, because you can damage the Time Machine structure.

    Only files backed up with Time Machine are deleted from your Time Capsule when there's no enough storage. If you store other files, they are not deleted. However, for what you want to do, I recommend you to buy a big external drive and make two partitions, one for Time Machine and another one to store files, or get two external drives

  • Can I use my Time Capsule for wifi parental control?

    Can I use my Time Capsule for WiFi parental control.  The objective first is to use a time clock to control internet access (completely on or off).  Second objective is to use the Time Capsule which is also the WiFi router for more selective internet control?  Anyone out there have any tips on making this work?  We have Time Warner cable feeding the house internet, which is then corrected to the 2Tb Time Capsule which also provides our WiFi.  Any information including other alternatives would be most appreciated.  Surely we are not the only parents on the planet with this issue.  Thanks very much!

    how do I get the Mac addresses for each device (this won't be a problem, I demand the device, check it, and then return it).
    What wireless devices are we looking at here?
    Most devices have the AirPort ID or MAC Address or Hardware Address printed on the back or bottom of the device
    Otherwise, you can learn the correct number by process of elimination. Turn off all wireless devices except your Mac computer....if it is connecting using wireless.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Look for Wireless Clients and click on the numerical IP address that is displayed
    Another box will open
    Look for the Hardware Address. It will be displayed as xx : xx : xx : xx :xx : xx
    Write that down and note that it is your Mac.
    Now, connect another wireless device and repeat the sequence.  Click on the "other" listing that you see to find out more info about that device.  Write down the ID or Address and note what device it is. Then power it off.
    Do the same for each wireless device that you want to have limited access.
    Post back when you have all the info.

  • How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

    Hello,
    I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
    I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their  network.
    Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
    Thank you for your help.

    Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
    There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.

    As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection.  You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
    If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

  • I have not used my time capsule as a back up in a while

    I have not used my time capsule as a back up in a while & I would like to start using it again, but it give me the following error...
    "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 195.55 GB but only 93.26 GB are available."
    Can I delete the old files form the b/u disk to make more room for my new back-ups?

    Yes, for sure.. if you only have the 500GB TC, and you don't need the old backups.. or if you have stored files on it copy them some place else and then erase the drive. It will fill up again quick enough anyway.

  • Can not see the Time Capsule disc in Time Machine what can I do??????

    I just set up my new TC with my MacBook Air. The Wireless network is working fine but I can not find (see) the TC hard drive on my MacBook air so I can not set up Time Machine to back up my stuff. :=(
    Can someone help me with this... ?

    As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.. amen!!
    Welcome to ML excellent standard networking.. I am awarding it the golden vista OS of the year.
    Did you turn it off and on again??
    Will no longer be the first phrase of all windows servicing.. it now extends to Macs as well.
    Maybe an auto electrical clock where you setup a timed daily reboot.. !!
    A mechanical one of course.. cannot trust those electronical versions.. they might use OS as reliable as Vista!!

  • MacBook Pro can't connect to Time Capsule or network drives

    I have a MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz, Intel i7, 4 GB RAM) and for some reason it can not connect to either the Time Capsule or any network drives.  We were recently out of town on vacation and before the vacation, everything worked fine.  Now, that we are back, the MacBook will connect to the wireless network and can access the internet, etc but it can not access either the Time Capsule or any drives I have setup as shared that's connected to the iMac.  I go to the Network and it doesn't show anything as available to connect to.
    I have restarted both the MacBook and the iMac and even turned off and back on file sharing on the iMac.  I have even restarted the Time Capsule but nothing is working.  Both the MacBook Pro and iMac are running Lion (10.7.2).  All have the latest updates, etc.  Also the Time Capsule has all of the latest firmware updates.  Again, this was working fine last week.  Now this week, nothing.
    Can someone please help?  I use the Time Capsule for backups and the network drive for iTunes.  Without those, the MacBook Pro is missing a lot of functionality.
    Bronson

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Can I use my time capsule for back up only and not as a router?

    I have been trying to set up my time capsule as a router but have not been successful, the dsl I am using is not responding. Can I just use my time capsule as a back up device and not as a router? if so how can I do this?

    Yes, you can. Simply plug the TC via Ethernet into the current router and set it up in bridge mode.

  • Can I use my time capsule for a hard drive only?

    I have a brand new Time Capsule.
    Instead of backing up all of the time, can I just use the Time Capsule for my music and photos?

    Music and Photos  would be fine.. but not itunes and iphoto.. the libraries are far more complex and if you load it onto the TC you will have no backups.. the TC is a backup device which has no method of backing itself up.

  • Have the following iMac at home and am contemplating adding a MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule for backup/storage and increased WiFi speeds.  My question is this (1) a compatible setup, and (2) will my older iMac slow down the WiFi speeds?   Man

    Have an older iMac and am contemplating adding a new MacBook Air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule to increase WiFi speeds. My question is (a) is this a compatable setup and (b) will the older iMac slow the WiFi speeds?
    Thanks

    Be careful about mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's disk.  That will cause conflicts, sooner or later.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
