Printing with iphone and time capsule router

I have an iphone 4 and a Time Capsule with router. I have my HP 8500 wireless printer plugged into time capsule. iphone says that it cannot find airprint printers.

Time Capsule is a combination wireless router and wireless hard drive for access to the internet via wi-fi with connected computers and with your iPhone, and for backing up connected Macs wirelessly via Time Machine.
Your iPhone can connect to the internet via your wireless network created with Time Capsule, but that is it.

Problems with FaceTime and Time Capsule?

I was wondering if anyone who uses Time Capsule for their WiFi router has ever experienced any problems with FaceTime? I use that as my router out of state, and when placing calls to my Mom, she has a LinkSys router. Every time I go to try a FaceTime call, the sound is spotty, and then the call eventually craps out. However, Skype works just fine. During a recent visit to her home, I tried a FaceTime call and it worked just fine, which led me to wonder if it had anything to do with us having separate routers, or if it's a strength of the Internet connection signal? Was just curious if anyone else had similar issues? Thank you in advance!

Sounds like a Internet connection problem to me, probably too slow.
You can try identifing the more problematic router/Internet connection by FaceTime calling a iPhone on a 3rd Wi-Fi network. If it works from your location but not your mom's, then your mom's router or Internet connection is the problem. You can further narrow it down by switching routers after finding the location that has the problem.
You can check the speed of the Internet connect and make sure the wireless router is updated and configured correctly.
WTH.

Deleted contacts on Iphone and time capsule backup retrieval

I am having issues with my iphone contacts erasing phone numbers from the entries.
Many of the entries have a facebook "script" added to the contact info.....its as if Facebook synced with my phone and deleted all the phone numbers from the contacts? Could this be possible.
I have TimeCapsule and dont know how to do two things..
1. sync my iphone with my address book on my macbook pro.....
I thought this happened auto with mobile me....but entries in my Address book are not the same as on my iphone....
2. go into time capsule and get backed up contacts from 2 months ago before this started to happen and put them back in Addressbook......Assuming that I can then sync the address book on macbook to the iphone and restore everything or at least 98% of everything....
this is really frustrating and I called mac and the guy i Spoke with could not even tell me how to retrieve anything from the time capsule....

You can't selectively choose which data included with your iPhone's backup is restored on your iPhone from the backup. It is all or none.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. With Windows this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
iTunes includes a general preference option to not automatically sync when any iPod or iPhone is connected. iTunes > Preferences under the Devices tab.

Print from iphone via time capsule

is there any chance to print from iphone to a NON-AIRPRINT Hp device (namely hpc3180) connected to time capsule?

Cannot print with HP Laserjet 1022 when connected with USB to Time Capsule

Installed HP drivers
Connected HP 1022 (not the network printer) with USB to Time Capsule
Printer appears in "Standard" section of printers, marked with Bonjour
Correct driver is selected
When printing, printer appears to be connected. Printer queue shows the item being managed and no errors are posted. After a rather long time, the print disappears into the void. This goes for the test page too.
Connected the printer directly to my iMac with USB, no problems at all.
I would prefer to have it connected to the Time Capsule though...

Getting it to work with Windows is super-easy. You'll need to install the printer's drivers and Bonjour for Windows ( http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/bonjourforwindows.html ). Install both of those, open Bonjour, select the printer, done.
I have no experience with Linux, sorry.

Iphoto and time capsule

My family and I want to access and edit all of our photos that are currently stored on time capsule. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, our family has an imac and iphones. We want to have the changes that we make to the pictures (red-eye correction, contrast, brightness, etc) to be reflected on the time capsule file so that when another one of us goes to print or make a slideshow those changes will take place on another computer because it is all stored on the time capsule. Also, we don't need to store all this info on our computers. Is there anyway to do this with iphoto and time capsule? Apple is usually pretty good about integrating things, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Is there a plug-in that will allow me to do this? Can someone make one?
Google Picasa allows us to do this, which is phenomenal. We are eagerly waiting for Google Picasa for Mac to come out for this feature alone. Thank you for any comments

You could look into multi user image management applications likeMedia Expression. It would let you put the source files on the server and each user have their own catalog of thumbnails linked to the source files. EM lets you rename files, add metadata to the files, etc. But if you're going to stick with iPhoto and want to have everyone have full editing rights in the library you'll have to put the library on an external HD formatted for OS X Extended (Journaled).
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I do to sinc my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s with Time Capsule? i need to transfered informatioon between bouth ip and time capsule.

I have got and iPad 2 and iPhone 4s and I need to do a back up of docs, music and photos between Ipad and iphone an Time Capsule.

You backup iOS devices to iTunes.. the iTunes then keeps the files and they are backed up via TM.
To copy the files, you need to download a file app.. just look up file app, and that will allow you to copy files to and from the TC.. you cannot sync to the TC. There is no TM type app for iOS.. and in fact the file apps do not use AFP at all.

Cisco router RVS4000 with Airport extrem and Time capsule.

Problem droping connection to internet when is Time capsule in extended wifi mode. When I turn off wifi on time capsule Airport extreme work fine.
Airport extreme and Time capsule is conected via ETH.
Any idea ?

If you use ethernet to connect the AE and TC .. you must NOT extend wifi.. you use Create a wireless network. And setup with same name and security. You are using roaming network.. not extended wireless.. if you want to use extended wireless no ethernet

IPhone 4.2.1 and Time Capsule 7.5.2 - Wi-Fi issue

I am the (unfortunate) owner of a Time Capsule that I use as access point. It is a very poor Wi-Fi AP but it used to work albeit it is a weak AP.
Now, my iPhone will not automatically reconnect to this AP, I have to connect manually. If I lock my iPhone, it drops the Wi-Fi and will not automatically reconnect once the phone is unlocked, I have to once again manually connect it. When I come home, I have to manually connect to my home SSID. It remembers the passphrase, I just need to tell it to reconnect which it does as soon as I tap on my SSID under Wi-Fi settings.
All other AP's, using WEP or WPA2 or no security work flawlessly. My iPhone will automatically connect to them when I come into range and if I unlock my iPhone the Wi-Fi reconnects automatically. Just spent a few days at a friend's house and it worked as expected to their Belkin AP day after day - no problems. Same with other APs like in Delta Skyclubs or at work or anywhere else I have been before and connected to an AP that my phone remembered.
While I was on iPhone 4, 4.1 I did not have this problem with my Time Capsule. So it appears the iPhone 4, 4.2.1 is not compatible with Time Capsule. I have reset the networking on the iPhone which accomplished nothing. I have deleted and re-learned my SSID which accomplished nothing.
Is there anyway to go back to iPhone iOS 4.1?
Since the Time Capsule is such a poor Wi-Fi AP I am thinking about disabling the Wi-Fi in it and buying a conventional Wi-Fi router which will turn my Time Capsule into a very, very expensive NAS.
Any ideas how to get the iPhone 4 and Time Capsule to play nice together?

This has been a really big headache for us as we found out that 90% of the iPhone 4 authentication issues that we have are to do with the AP and TC devices. WEP and WPA2 stacks just seem to be plain broke between the iPhone and the AP/TC devices as DHCP requests and authentication requests just seem to drop for no reason.
Like you, all 4.1 users had no trouble and continue to be OK, it is just the 4.2.1 users that seem to exhibit the trouble connecting and/or staying connected.
There is no easy way to slide the iPhone back to 4.1 and certainly no officially recognised way through Apple which is a pain as I would go back in a New York second.
SHARK!

HP LaserJet CP1025 and Time Capsule printing problem

Hello. I'm experiencing a problem with network printing with using HP LaserJet CP1025 plugged through USB into a Time Capsule. The problem persists for a long time already. Every time I need to print, I need to reboot my Time Capsule because there is an error in the printing queue, Mac OS X shows a message about some "USB write error", Windows just shows an "error". The only solution to this was rebooting the Time Capsule as told on Apple Support, with unplugging it first, then rebooting the printer, then plugging the Time Capsule. Now even this way doesn't work. This problem is the same on three different computers running Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion and Windows 8, so it's not driver problem, however, Bonjour doesn't allow me to use drivers from the printer CD on Windows so I had to install "universal" drivers which allowed me to print. I update the firmware on the Time Capsule from time to time, so it won't help either. It's extremely annoying to mess around with Time Capsule for half an hour each time I need to print, so I ask for assistance. Thanks to everyone who can help!

There is probably a whole bunch of different issues happening here.
Lion and ML have just as much problem with losing connection to the TC as the windows computer will.
I suggest you do a factory reset of the TC..
You then need to set it up as a straight SMB (windows networking) device.
All network names must be SMB compatible. Short, no spaces.. no apostrophe for sure. pure alphanumeric.
That includes TC name, wireless name/s, passwords of course. and even the hard disk name.
In the file sharing page I would also turn on the guest access and set the WORKGROUP. Although that is more for disk sharing they should also help print sharing.
The printer name, I am not sure.. but you want that as simple as possible as well and following the above rules.
I am not at all sure the latest firmware is the panacea to all ills.. in fact I tend to run any TC i have on 7.5.2 and find it works better. Especially the older ones.
If it still doesn't work, it is a case of buy a new network printer.. when this lot of toners finish.. buy a new printer instead .. make sure it is network capable. Far better than using usb printers and since printers are cheap cf the consumables.. well worth it.
Also make sure it is airprint capable and preferably postscript as well although I don't know if the combo is available.

MacBook Pro and Time Capsule after adding new wireless router

I have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule (which functions wirelessly to router and computer). I added a new wireless router (netgear, not my idea) and had to change name of wireless network. Now Time Capsule flashes amber and does not show up in Airport Utility.
Do I have to set up Time Capsule from scratch? If so, if you can aim me to directions I won't have to waste tech support's time.
My additional question on a similar vein: I also have a Time Capsule (second time capsule) which is plugged into the wireless router using ethernet cable for use with a windows notebook running windows 7 which backs up wirelessly. Do I have to change anything on this Time Capsule (second Time Capsule) as a result of change in name of network (I've already adjusted computer to connect to network)?

Hi DD,
If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

Create a WDS with Motorola SBG6580 Time Capsule and Express

I have a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 and enabled bridging. Has anyone successfully used this cable modem as part of a WDS? I'd like to have the SBG6580 as the main base and then use an older 1TB Time Capsule and Airport Express to extend the wireless network. At the moment I cannot get the TC to see the SBG's wireless network. I can manually enter the network name and password but it cannot connect.

Unfortunately, the Time Capsule will only wirelessly extend a signal from another Apple router. It is not compatible with the wireless signal from the Motorola SBG6580 for this type of purpose.
What you can do.....is establish a permanent Ethernet cable connection between the SBG6580 and Time Capsule and then configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network using the exact same name and password as the Motorola network.
That will result in one "big" wireless network, effectively extending the Motorola network.
The downside....the Time Capsule must remain permanently connected using an Ethernet cable back to the Motorola SBG6580.
The upside.....Ethernet can be run up to 330 feet or 100 meters with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule just about anywhere that you want.

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

Why did I see many airport and time capsule devices in iPhones AirPort Utility?

I had this problem with my Airport utility that I saw three devices(an AirPort Express and Time Capsule and my own AiPort Express) in my airport utility for iPhone. Were they connected to my wifi network which was created by my own AirPort Express? There were two devices that I think shouldn't have been there. I changed my AirPort Express from bridge mode to DHCP and NAT. Those two other devices disappeared. Could other people somehow have used my wifi network and extended it? It was password protected.
