Network equipment away from mac, but have time capsule
i plan on moving my cable modem, router, switch away from my room because it just makes alot of clutter. and i plan on moving the equipment to a closet in the hall way thats by all the cable cable splitters. and i can easily run a cable from the splitter to the cable modem and set it up in the closet.
however, i want to buy a time capsule, and obviously i want it by my mac so how do i go about doing this?
Of course! It only needs to be on the same network. As I say, you can either keep your current router and use the TC as a wired client, or swap out the TC for the router and let the TC manage your network. Either way, the Mac will be able to back up wirelessly to the Time Capsule.

I have a new mac, but every time I try to transfer purchases from my iphone to it, it says it is not authorized. But it IS!~ And it uses a very old default email. I then authorize it, it tells me it is authorized already. I tried unauthorizing and re-authorizing. I have looked up help and done what it says. I tried finding users/shared/sc info but that file is not on this Mac. My Mac is fully updated.
please help.I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4. I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule. I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network. Airport Express no longer connects to my network. I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.
TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

Need to have the keyboard and mouse 100 feet away from Mac
I need to have the Keyboard and Mouse/Track-pad 100 feet away from Mac Mini.
What are my options ?
ThanksIn your case with the need to control it from multiple locations the best and realistically only solution is to use Screen Sharing to remotely control the Mac.
With this solution you can control it from anywhere you have a network connection and could use a laptop to control the Mac mini. This is the solution I use in a very similar situation.
Bluetooth does not have enough range, even RF wireless keyboard and mice devices also would not have the range, and I don't believe there is a suitable USB solution.
The only other possibility that occurs to me is to use an IP based KVM. A KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) switch box allows multiple computers to be controlled from typically a single keyboard and mouse. However there are versions which allows you to do this over a TCP/IP network i.e. Ethernet. Then again you would be able to do this anywhere on your network. Here is one example - http://www.aten-usa.com/products/productItem.php?model_no=CN8600
Personally I still strongly recommend using Screen Sharing. Its built-in and completely free! -
Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP?
You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio. -

Networking Mac's with Time Capsule
I'm having trouble networking my two MacBook's using my Time Capsule as the server. Any tips?
I'm having a similar problem. My network worked fine for a long time. Recently, I went on to a couple of machines and deleted a number of files to try to regain hard disk space. I didn't think I deleted anything important, but afterward, machines were not recognizing each other. A couple of the files I deleted were Hewlett-Packard files from the Startup folder. I realized the need for tham afterward, and reinstalled the printer drivers.
However, while the printer is now working, it is only working with the machine attached to it. The other machines which accessed it over the network can not do so anymore.
The weirdest is, after resetting everything, I was able to log in to my Mac Book from my Mac Mini, but I couldn't do the reverse. When trying to connect to the Mini from the Book, it timed out. I tried directly using Go to...Server with the Mini's IP address, no luck. I made sure "File Sharing" was turned on both machines.
At one point I was in the sharing preferences and noted, on the Mini, that a "Permitted Users" list existed. One had a dim network icon with my name "Daniel", which is similar, but not same as, name of the Mac Book ("Daniel's Mac Book (2)"). As a test, I deleted it, and, sure enough, I could no longer log into the Book from the Mini. I hit the + sign to re-add "Daniel", but wasn't able to because the Mini would not recognize the Book anymore.
All the computers recognize the Time Capsule just fine, they all access the internet just fine, they all have File Sharing turned on, they just won't recognize each other.
This is an important problem because we have only one printer, hooked up directly to the Mini. All our printing is done over the network through the Mini.
I've done hard reset (unplugged Time Capsule), soft reset (through Airport Utility) and reset manually all Time Capsule settings - still no recognition computer to computer.
Any ideas for next steps? -
how do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?
Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive. Make sure they have copied. Delete them from iTunes. Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes. This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again. See also: iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507 -
after loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?
would love to...way over my head so far...upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - I have another MAC (motorola chipset...maybe 10.6?) and 3 PCs on the network...the older MAC linked up through the network just fine...
I can see the Yosemite MAC on the PCs...I can open customer file folders (I am a printer) from the shared drive...I can drag files (let's just call them PDFs, they mostly are) to the MAC customer file...but if I try to open them from the PC I get an error message that says permission denied - or may be in use by another user. There are no other users. After I uploaded to Yosemite, I noticed most if not all drives and or folders had permissions changed to either no access or to read only...I've changed as many as I could find...drives, and folders...I can open those same files if I'm on the yosemite mac...Here's the catch, though...I was on a different floor and that PC can open a PDF on the Yosemite...but the RIP that prints our large format prints now won't print those files (whole RIP locks up) unless they are first dragged to the PC desktop...then all is fine. I thought it was MAC upgrade oriented, but I do have a PC that halfway works...I'm really stymied... -
I installed Lion on my Mac Pro laptop. Regarding Time Capsul - I get a messaage as follows: couldn't complete backup due to a network problem. Make sure your computer and back up disk are on the same network and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up. I have time capsul turned on. bill
I have exactly same problem with my MBP and MBA, after upgrading to Lion. I've tried to fix this issue while cheking key chain issues and network setup, even formating hdd and time capsule firmware upgrade (ver. 7.6.1.). Nothing can help. It is very annoying.

thanks erryjayHi,
You would like to retrieve the returning value of the dynpro in a Batch input session ?
bad idea
try to make a CALL TRANSACTION inside a program. But you can't add you own logic inside a batch-input.
Maybe you could do this using eCAT

I have a Time Capsule (4th Gen) and my backups on it, I need to completely erase my hard drive. My question is: after formatting my MacBook HD and eventually restore my system (OS X 10.6.8) from a backup on Time Capsule, will I still have access to my old* backups as normally used to do via Time Machine?
*(-and to the newer backups- if I had not restored my system from the last backup).
THANKSThat's a good question. Technically, Time Machine should make a new backup but not erase any old backups. But if there isn't sufficient space on the backup drive, then I'm not sure if Time Machine will simply warn you or just go ahead and remove old backups to make room for the new ones.
In any case, the new backup should have a different backup folder on the backup drive. That's my understanding. You can learn more at pondini.org. -
Hi! I brought an iPhone 4 off my friend at work. The day I brought it, it was working fine but now I can't seem to send any messages or make phone calls. The network is showing up fine but each time I try to make a call it says "call failed" I can't seem to send any messages either? I can use the Internet fine and everything else on the phone. Can anyone help?
Hi chelsinator,
You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.
Cheers,

Connecting Mac Pro to Time Capsule to get wireless network!
My brother just bought for me the newest Mac Pro with MAC OS 10.6 and already have a TIme Capsule. At the Apple Store they told him that there was no need for him to buy a AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card, because I already have Time Capsule and through it I could connect my Mac Pro to my wireless network at home. Is this right?
The router of the internet is located at my living room and the time capsule is at my bedroom. What I'm trying to say is... Can I use the Time Capsule as a AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card for my Mac Pro?
I'll wait anxiously for an answer.You seem a little confused. The Mac Pro must have a wireless card installed inside and connected properly. Then you can wirelessly connect to that Time Capsule.
If you do not have the card installed inside that Mac Pro then figure a way to run fast cat ethernet cable to the Time Capsule.
