Archive the material via airport utility (old v5 not v6).. to a USB drive of suitable size for all the data.
Do this before the TC dies. Once dead you will have no choice but to repair it.. or to open and remove the HD and put it in a holder.

  • I currently use a Time Capsule for my wi fi. I would like to extend its range and have been looking at boosters. Is Airport Express the best booster solution when using the Time Capsule or is there a better solution?

    I currently use a Time Capsule for my wi-fi (2008). I would like to extend its range. While there are many boosters that can do the job, what is the best option? How is Airport Express as an option?

    The Time Capsule (TC) can have its wireless network extended by another TC, an 802.1n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), or 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn).
    If your TC is a simultaneous dual-band version, only another TC or AEBSn will be able to extend both radios. The AXn can only support one radio (2.4 or 5 GHz) at a time.

  • My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?

    Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

    It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
    Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
    If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

  • My Time capsule location is not correct.  It thinks it is in Alabama.

    My Time Capsule location is not correct.  It thinks it is in Alabama.  It is in Tennessee.

    Was the Time Capsule or your Mac ever located in Alabama?
    Where are your ISP offices located?
    Have you tried resetting the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then setting it up again?  If yes, it may take Apple's location services servers 4-6 weeks to pick up the new location.

  • Time capsule now does not work with Lion just installed.

    Just downloaded Lion to Mac Air. Time capsule now does not work. Where is the problem?

    Restart the TC.. lion is stupid.. it forgets what it is connected to with alarming frequency ... like someone suffering dementia.
    If it continues to have issues, plug the TC directly to the lion computer by ethernet (if not already) and try again. Change the wireless to manual in airport utility and change the wireless name.. to force a new configuration. Once setup you can just use wireless.
    In the end you may need to reset the TC.. just hold in the reset button for about 10sec. It should then become available.. a reset does not do anything to data on the hard drive but you might need to restore any passwords.

  • I have set up my time capsule but can not see it in finder

    I have setup my time capsule, I can see it on the network and have done an initial backup, I can see it under shared devices in finder but when I open it I cannot see any files in the folder

    If you have backed up your Mac using Time Machine to the Time Capsule, you would not use the Finder to see the files on the Time Capsule.
    If you want to see the backups, click on the Time Machine "clock" icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen and wait a few minutes for everything to load.
    Use the scale at the right of the screen to move from different recent backup times or dates. Select the time that you want and use the Finder like interface to navigate to locate a file or folder.
    More info on Time Machine is available in this Apple support document:

  • My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

    Dear all,
    I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
    I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
    Thanks fo your help.

    Hi Larry,
    Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
    But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
    It's a 1 To Capacity.
    Best Regards,
    Clémentine
    That is a bad idea
    1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
    2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
    You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for  you TM backup

  • I am the only person in my family with a mac. If my family purchases the Time Capsule, will they be able to use it to back up their files with their PCs?

    Yeah, I have a macbook but everyone else has a windows computer. If we buy this will they be able to back up their files on the Time Capsule wirelessly as well? Also, if I put a backup onto the Time Capsule, will everyone be able to see what is on my back up, or will I just be able to see the back up for my computer?

    Only you will see the backup of your Mac.
    will they be able to back up their files on the Time Capsule wirelessly as well?
    You will need a special Windows application like Genie Timeline Pro to be able to backup the PCs automatically to the Time Capsule. Otherwise, you must manually copy the files over.
    Check with the Genie folks on backup details for the PCs before you buy.

  • Airport time capsule, router or not???

    Can somebody clarify to me whether the new airport time capsule is also a stand alone router?? I'm in the UK and have an adsl connection so the connection into the filter is different to the ethernet wan.
    On the basis of it being different can you get a ethernet to adsl cable??

    Yes it is. Time Capsule is a full-featured simultaneous dual band router that also happens to have a built-in hard disk that can be accessed over your network for file storage and backup purposes. You can also connect additional external hard disk drives to its USB port.
    All it needs is an Ethernet connection to your ISP, however that is accomplished.
