Problems accessing Time Capsule on windows Vista

I have an iMac running Leopard and a laptop running Vista Home Edition. I'm having some problems accessing Time Capsule from the Vista machine. everytime I click to access the drive, a message appears in the menu bar of the window that says (not responding). I've tried leaving it. I've even changed my entire wireless network to bypass the original g router (belkin) to use TC, so I now have TC as my router, Belkin just setup as a wired broadband modem but I still get the same problem. The mac seems fine, although I have had quite a few issues with drop outs.
both machines have the latest version of Airport Utility and Bonjour.
The laptop is a recent purchase to replace a dead XP machine, this worked fine and I managed to get stuff backed up just before it died, thankgod.
Any help appreciated.

No problem seeing Time Capsule with iMac, Dell desktop XP Home, Dell notebook XP Pro, and Fusion with XP Pro. All installed according to the installation guide. Installed AirPort Utility on all machines and updated firmware to 7.3.1. To see the other machines, make sure file sharing is on. Firewall on the PCs may need to be turned off. The printer plugged into the USB port also worked with all the XP systems and the iMac with a few missing features on iMac (I am assuming different driver issues). BTW, logging onto the created network and accessing the Time Capsule HD are separate. If you've entered different passwords for the HD and wireless networking when setting up Time Capsule initially (which I did through the iMac first), you'll need to enter them separately with the XP machines. You could also try resetting Time Capsule. Seems to work for others.

How to remotely access Time Capsule using iCloud and firmware 7.6.1?

I have just applied the new Time Capsule 7.6.1 firmware that supposedly enables remote access to the drive via iCloud. However, how precise would this work?
I have read several other threads here and elsewhere but they either explain how to do this using MobileMe or DynDNS.
How precisely does iCloud now translate my internal IP to an external one and where do I access my drive in OSX when on the road?

Really pretty simple. That's if you've got the Time Capsule and your Computer set up correctly.
Time Capsule setup:
1.    Open Airport Utility
1a. Open Time Capsule Base Station tab
1b. Put iCloud NAME in "Back to My Mac"
1c. Enter Password, then wait for activation (less than 1 minute normally)
1d. Open Time Capsule Disks tab
1e. Check mark "Enable file sharing"
1f.   Check mark "Share disk over WAN"
1h. Password self explanitory
Computer (Mac)
1.   Open iCloud in System Preferences
2.   Put a check mark on "Back to My Mac", wait for actication (less than 1 minute normally)
Connecting to Time Capsule Disk from you HOME network or outside your home network ((INTERNET))
In order to connect to Time Capsule Disk off your local (home) network you must have an internet connection, if you do then do this:
1. Open Finder
2. In Finder open Shared if collapsed and double click on your Time Capsule name.
3. Double click your Time Capsule, enter password (if you required).
4. Once connected to your Time Capsule double click on your Disk to mount it enter password (if your required).
5. Done, remember the connection speed is dependent on your internet quality (broadband vs dial-up).

How to use my time capsule with windows vista

i have a 2tb time capsule iphone 3gs appple tv and a ipad 2 the wife and kids have iphone 3gs and 4 and id like to set up a home network for us all to use and share music and photos is this possible

Sorry the title never gets into detail at any point.. no vista computer is listed.
Access the vista computer to TC turn on the guest network and allow full read write access. Make sure you have the workgroup set correctly. There are issues sometimes on the windows side but try that.
As for using the TC as a file store.. well it isn't a good idea. It is a backup device.. which has no ability to back up itself. There is no mirrored disks and one day it will die and you can say bye bye to your precious photos and music. You can work your way around the issue.. sure.. in the end you will need an alternative backup on a computer.. that alternative backup will then be backed up to where??
If you must run your itunes and iphoto library on the TC just read about how to set up the libraries in network location. Google will find the posts.

You perhaps should read all the other posts about why not.. as well as how to.

How can I see my network drive from time capsule on windows vista pc?

I connected my Time Capsule 2tb to Windows PC and do not see the Network Drive for TC. I can see TC on my wireless MacProBook, but cannot see TC drive on the pc. What can I do on the PC to find Time Capsule's drive?
Thank you.

From the Mac as it is easier to use.. open airport utilty and go to the disks, file sharing page. turn on the guest account.. give read write access.. and make sure the TC is in the correct workgroup or type in the work group name.. update the TC.
In vista.. Open windows explorer.. in the address bar type \\ip\
IP meaning the IP of the TC. . wait.. waiting wait.. windows scratches its bum.. thinks some more.. will finally kick up a username and password request.. type in whatever you need. Voila.. TC appears.

Remote access to TC using Windows

Hi,
I have a macbook pro, a win 7 laptop and time capsule. I can access the storage portion of TC on both laptops when im home on the same wireless network but can't seem to access remotely using win 7 laptop (i can on mac using aft:\\).
I've searched numerous forums with no luck. It doesn't quite seem like anyone's been able to achieve this (from whereever i've read)
I've had the TC for abt two weeks and if it can't accomplish this task, i'm leaning toward returning it as i need remote access on both mac and win.
Once again, in summary, all i'm looking to do is to remotely access the files (client files etc) in the TC's storage using Win 7 (through either SMB, VPN, or any other way that would get this done)
I appreciate your help.

How can my Time Capsule be accessed remotely via PC/Windows? What protocol? How?
Windows or Linux PCs can access the Time Capsule's (TC) file service via the SMB protocol.
The following is the basic steps to configure the TC's hard drive to be accessed from the Internet.
Configuring the TC
AirPort Utility > Select the TC
o Note the value of the IP Address. This is the Public or WAN-side IP address of the TC. (Note: You will need to have either a static Public IP address, or use a free dynamic DNS service, like you suggested, in order to access the TC from the Internet.)
Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
o Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Manual Setup > Disks > Files Sharing tab
o Enable file sharing (checked)
o Secure Shared Disks = With base station password
o AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed
o Share disks over Ethernet WAN port (checked)
Manual Setup > AirPort > Base Station
o Enter a Base Station Password and verify it in the Verify Password box.
Manual Setup > Advanced > Port Mapping
o Click the plus sign "+" to add a new port mapping.
o In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 5688) that you choose.
o In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your TC that you noted earlier.
o In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548, and then, click Continue.
o In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Time Capsule File Sharing," and then, click Done.
o When you have made all the changes, click Update.
Connect the PC to the TC from a remote location
o Type in your DynDNS domain name, plus a colon and the port number you specified when configuring the TC earlier. For example,"www.myTC.com:5688"
o You will be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password would be the TC's Base Station password you defined earlier.

You can get more info on your Time Capsule at http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/specs.html
The specs indicate that you cannot use it to b/u other than on a Mac using Time Machine which is written for Mac.

Time Capsule and Windows Vista

Hi there i have a Macbook Pro and my flat mate has windows vista on his note book.
So i am thinking of getting Time capsule 500gb to back up my Mac pro and use it for the internet (going to replace my old wireless modem with time capsule) and my flat mate just wants to connect to the internet thats all no backing up files or anything like that.
Will it be easy to set up his vista to connect to the internet? does he need apple software or anything like that?
And will he get the same internet speeds as before?
Sorry i am new to Time Capsule don't know much about it just don't want to wast money
Thanks for your help

Yes, it should all work fine and connecting to the Time Capsule will be just like connecting to any other wireless router. There is no additional applications needed.

Remotely accessing Time Capsule when bridged

I have my Time Capsule bridged to my netgear router and want to be able to access it remotely. When it is bridged I don't get the option to 'share it over the WAN connection' so I am guessing I have to set up port forwarding on my netgear router to be able to access it. Could anyone help me in setting this up? i.e what port do I need to forward it to, does it need to forward to the ip address of the router or the time capsule etc? Do i need use a username and password to access it etc. Or is there an easier/better way of me doing this? thanks.....

Are you bridging using ethernet or wireless?
I have my main wireless connection using a Linksys router and my TC is connected to it via ethernet and using the initial setup procedure it worked fine.
I know that you can bridge wirelessly using two airports but I did not see that option on my Linksys.

Can't print through Time Capsule using Windows-operating computers

I've just bought a time capsule 500GB and it's working fine. It backups my macbook every hour and I can easily print whatever file I want through my Canon iP1800 series, which is connect to WAN port of my time capsule.
However, I have others 2 notebooks running windows, and I can't print from them wirelessly. I've installed the airport utility and Bonjour in both computers using the CD that came with my time capsule and I followed these instructions of an old topic here (_but it didn't work out_):
“1. Make sure the printer is recognized by the base station.
2. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
3. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
should be off), click next.
4. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
5. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next.
6. For the device type, choose 'Hewlet Packard Jet Direct', then click Finish.
Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.”
Do someone have any idea to tell me what's happening? How can I fix this problem and have Mac and Windows laptops printing through my time capsule?
Thanks

When you installed bonjour did the Bonjour Print Wizard appear on your desktop? Or in the program menu?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3052?viewlocale=en_US
In my personal experience Bonjour sometimes doesn't install properly and doesn't appear on either the desktop or program menu, particularly if it is installed at the same time as another piece of apple software. Each of the times this happened I removed bonjour, using Windows Setup:Add/Remove programs, and then downloaded it again individually.
If you have the same experience as me you'll then be asked if you want to install a shortcut to the printer wizard. The wizard has done the trick for me. I've not yet had to resort to the rather more complicated "add new printer" route.

Cant log in to time capsule with windows vista computer

When i try to log in to the time capsule I keep getting an error message that wont let me log in. I turned the firewalls off and it still doesnt let me. Any help??

Hello lascall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
See if the following resolves your Vista access issue with the Time Capsule:
o From the Vista desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK

Time Capsule and Windows Vista network

Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice/feedback.
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and love it. Now considering buying a Time Capsule - 3 reasons - extra storage space, allow printing from all computers, and ease of backup with Time Machine.
I currently have a DLink wireless modem/router that is wired to a Windows Vista PC, a windows laptop and the new Mac.
My question is: How will the Time Capsule fit in with everything? I am guessing that the DLink will remain wired to the PC, and the Time Capsule will be plugged into the DLink. Will I gain extra speed with the Time Capsule and how do I allow it to take over the wireless network?
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
"When I try
to connect it sees the new network I set up,
but won't connect to the internet."
Are you saying that the Vista PC will connect to the wireless network, but can't get an internet connection, or it can see the wireless network, but can't connect?
If it cannot connect to the wireless network, is there an error message displayed? If so, what does the message say?

How do I restore a backup from Time Capsule on Windows Vista?

I have had to restore My Windows Vista PC to original and need to also restore by backup that was made to time Capsule. I can see the daily backups when browsing through the TC via Windows Backup/Restore, but it tells me there are no valid backup files. Any Ideas?

That is purely a windows issue.. the TC is a storage device.. nothing more.. if you can see the files, then the problem is windows cannot find the main or initial backup. Check with Microsoft.. or windows forums.
