My time capsule is set up and working fine as a router. However, I can't get it setup to backup my computer. Can someone help?
My Time Machine is doing fine as a router, but I'm having no luck getting it set up as a backup. Could someone please walk me thru the steps to set up the backup function? I have low computer skills.

You setup the backup from the Time Machine, ie the software in the computer. It is as simple as clicking the icon and selecting the Time Capsule as the backup location. Remember the software is time machine.. the hardware is time capsule. So if the TC is running as a router it is fully accessible by the network and the hard disk will present to the Mac as a network drive. You can then just choose it in TM.
Pondini has given lots of notes about it.

And there is plenty of stepup info from apple for time machine.

Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ -
Just bought the new iPhone4S yesterday, and my back camera isn't working/loading up. But my front camera works fine. What's wrong? Can anyone help?
I had the same problem- go to Utilities, General, Use Side Switch To, and change it from Mute to Lock Rotation- this solved the problem for me.
Good luck! -
Every time i put in my apple user name and password its telling me it's incorrect. can someone help me
Yep, as Michael mentioned, iTunes is accessing the internet matching the total bytes of the CD to the data base. Happens to me when I burn a disk in Roxio Toast 7, then mount it to listen to the recording in iTunes. Some of the strangest names appear.
At first I couldn't imagine where these exotic names were coming from until I realized the app. was accessing the Gracenote CDDB (CD database). Unfortunately, you cannot deselect this process within iTunes. As Michael suggested disconnect your machine from the Internet before inserting the CD. -
I bought the APP Sasol Birds. 146MB of the 147,5MB downloaded without any problem. The download stopped and first the error code 3259 and later the error code 8012 appeared. Can someone help? I want the download to be completed. Thank you. Pieter Strobos
Maybe your firewall or security software are preventing the download from finishing. You could try disabling them until you finish the download

I am not able to sign in. I am getting a message saying Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.
I use the same Apple ID and password as I do with iTunes and have no problems accessing that.

I am trying to unlock my SIM from my iphone 4s, as I am getting a mesage SIM locked. How do I unlock this?Also I am typing in what I think my code is and it is not working. The voice activation wil not allow me to type in the numbers for some reason. I have turned it off and on about 7 times now. please please please can someone help me?
If you bought the iphone in the US and it is locked to a specific carrier, then you can't use a different sim (from another carrier). Is this your situation?
Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "trying to unlock my SIM". In which country did you buy the iphone? Who's your carrier? -

I can get the page linking to work on my desktop machine, but when I preview on mobile devices through Edge Inspect the page does not work. It tells me the page can't be found. Can someone help? - Thanks Robin
Try downloading Reflow Preview 8 that was released yesterday and see if that fixes it. If not can you post the name of the page you are trying to link too and I'll see if I can reproduce it.
Thanks for you help and thanks for using Reflow,

I Have a wifi router which is located in my brothers bedroom. Now I am buying a iMac. Along with it I want to buy a time capsule which I want in my bed room. Is it possible to connect the two wifi routers wirelessly?
The Time Capsule can be configured to "join a wireless network" so backups will occur over the wireless network that is being provided by the wireless router in the other bedroom.
Things will be fine as long as there is a strong wireless signal where the Time Capsule will be located.
But...the Time Capsule cannot "extend" the wireless network or provide more wireless coverage...unless...the other router is also an Apple product. -
I have 3 ipads and when i got them i started to link them or register them..whatever u call it. The first one hooked up right away, the other two were easy and linked to my wifi ..but they both say that they are NOT connected to internet?? the first one works fine?? help please
I assume that all three iPads have been activated - correct? If so, do the iPads see your network? Go to Settings>Wifi. Is your network showing in that setting? Try turning WiFi off and then on again on the two iPads that will not connect. You can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in and then try to connect.
