Restoring phone numbers via Time Capsule

Not sure how it happened, but I lost all of my phone numbers after the last sync. Never had this problem before, and I'm wondering if I can retrieve them by doing a restore from the TC? And if so, do I restore all of iTunes or a certain file/folder?

Did you lose them from Address Book or from your iPhone? If they're no longer in Address Book and you want to restore them to there, navigate to "yourhomefolder"/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, launch Time Machine, back up to before the problem, then restore the file AddressBook-v22.abcddb. (I'd make a backup copy of that file on your Mac first.)
Since your problem really involves Time Machine (backup software that's included with OS X since 10.5) rather than Time Capsule (an Apple Wi-Fi router with an integrated disk drive), your message would have been better posted in another discussion groups section.

Yes, check out the following Apple article: Restoring files from a Time Capsule backup, especially the section titled, "Restoring an existing Time Capsule backup to a new Mac."

VNC remote my computer from Internet via time capsule

I have several computers connected with Airport via time capsule to Internet.
When I am out of office, how can I remote one of the computers from the Ipad? I use Mocha VNC
I´ve been trying but impossible to find the complete IP or DNS name, my IPAD do not find any of the computers if connected via Time Capsule
I have no prob when connecting one computer to modem directly , It works fine If I write the IP on my IPAD.
Back to my mac and VNC password settings seems correct.

Try locking the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. instead of auto use 1, 6 or 11. Test each in turn.
I would also suggest using a SMB name.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Did you happen to upgrade to latest iOS?? People are experiencing some bugs.. which is no real suprise.
Has the phone worked before and stopped working after some change you made.. or have you never been able to connect using this phone.

Photosmart 6520 won't connect via Time Capsule

Just bought a Photosmart 6520 printer. I have tried to connect it to my wireless network via Time Capsule but the printer thinks MAC address filtering is turned on so is unable to connect. I have checked using Airport utility to make sure MAC address filtering is turned off, which it is, and all other wireless devices connect without any problem. If I move the printer around the house I can connect via an Airport Express but I don't want the printer upstairs. Seems to be a communication problem between the printer and Time Capsule. I have updated the Firmware on the Time Capsule
Any one any ideas please?

Hello Frustrated61,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I suggest that we restore the Network defaults from the printer menu.
I have also located a document on when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will give you instructions on how to set a static IP address.
I have also located an Apple document that gives instructions on how to Set up a printer connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station.
Thank you for your time.

I've had a new hard drive installed and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule and now can't connect to the internet although it say Airport is connected. How can I fix this problem ?

Just had a new hard drive for my iMac and reloaded all my stuff via time capsule, all works fine apart from Safari which won't connect to internet. Airport is connected but each time Safari comes back saying there is no connection....any help gratefully recieved.

So you have the apple rotuer called a time capsule and you have complete the frist time machine back up? but there is not internet access ?
If so.
Opem airport utiltiy on your Comptuer :
What is the IP ? > if its 169.254.xx.xx > its a self assigned
Try power cycling the Internet source for up to 1 mintue and make sure all the lights turn off.
In Airport Utility Version 5.5.3 / 5.6.1
Gi > Intenret > conncetiong sharing > Is it off bridge mode change it to share a public Ip address
In airport Utility version 6.0/6.1
Edit > network > rotuer mode : Should be DHCP and NAT unless you use PPPoE to conecnt to the internet then this is automatically invoked.

HP Laserjet 1020 Print Wirelessly Via Time Capsule?

Is it possible to set up an HP Laserjet 1020 to print wirelessly via time capsule? I already know I have to use the 1022 driver, and my printer works perfectly when the usb is plugged into my Macbook air. I plugged it into the new time capsule I just bought and added it on my Macbook as a network printer, but it wont print. Any tips or suggestions would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance!

How to restore data from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive

My Macbook's hard drive had to be changed, and I'm trying to restore files from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive, but all I see are three sparsebundle files (one for each Mac we have at home, including my computer/old hard drive). From that point I don't know what else to do. If I click on it, it opens a dialogue that says "opening volumes" and it stays on that for a while.
Does anyone know how to restore data backed up in my Time Machine from previous backups onto a new hard drive? Does it have to do with these sparsebundle files? Or, is there another way?

Hp f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule

HP f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule
anyone have this problem before?

I have just purchased the latest Time Capsule and have exactly the same problem with my HP F2280 when printing from my iMac. Very odd. So started surfing the web and it appears we are not alone and there is no easy fix. Anyway it appears the scanner will not work via the TC either, never crossed my mind when I purchased it that I would have such problems. Two thumbs down for TC

Certain pages won't open via Time Capsule - why?

First of all, my internet works fine via Time Capsule - except 2 internet pages I cannot open. I tried with my HP Laptop (not via Time Capsule), they work. So it's to the pages fault.
Does anybody have an idea why? Here are the pages
www.united-fifa.de
www.fifa-royale.de
Until yesterday they worked perfectly fine. But now "the site cannot be loaded" anymore.
Thanks in advance for help.
Already tried: Reset Time Capsule, Delete Cookies, Reset Safari, Google Chrome/Firefox (exactly the same pages won't work there either), Restart Computer, Update Flash Player - nothing helped.

1. Checked with ISP, everything is fine (Pages worked when i used my old HP laptop wirth the same ethernet cable...)
2. broadband was always fine, even 2 days ago when all the homepages worked
Maximale Internet-Geschwindigkeit:
Download 75'000 kbit/s
Upload 7'000 kbit/s
3. It's a modem
4. If I connect my old HP Laptop directly to the modem, all the sites work perfectly fine.
5. Already reset to standard and i already use ethernet all the time (worked until 2 days ago) - nothing better.
6. Switched to bridge mode but then i couldn't connect to the internet at all :/

IPhone/iPad 2 Canon MP970 via Time Capsule

iPhone and iPad says no AirPrint found
I though I could print from iPhone/iPad to Canon via Time Capsule, or?

Not sure what the time capsule has to do with it.
If your printer is an airprint enable printer, then you can use it with airprint. If it is not airprint enabled then you cannot.
You can look for apps that provide printing.
iOS: AirPrint 101

How to reformat mac without startup cd via time capsule?

can i?

No. Time Capsule is only a data backup operation, not a system restore operation. You need to boot from an install disk, format the disk, install the operating system and then restore your backup from Time Capsule.

Windows XP won't connect to Internet via Time Capsule AE

I've got a MacBook Pro and MacBook using Airport Extreme via Time Capsule. I recently partitioned MacBook Pro and added Windows XP via Boot Camp. The XP sees the Airport but cannot connect. I've added the same key to XP as used for Mac access, but it still doesn't connect.
Its a WPA2 Personal Key. XP allows WEP, WPA, and WPA-??? (there are three other letters there that are NOT "2" or "Personal"). It allows one of two "types" that are TKIP or AS? (Three letters that I can't remember.) I'm completely lost.
I also tried changing channels, but that's frustrating unless I just change from the PC end. I had been changing them on the Mac, then rebooting to XP to see what happens. (Nothing, so far.)
Has anyone successfully gotten XP on the Wireless?

XP wireless to a Time Capsule works fine. Problem is, as you've found, choosing the right wireless security, then entering the key in the right format.
Because of this problem in mixed OS X / XP networks, I've stuck with WEP. It's less secure, but it works!
I live in a rural area, so wireless security isn't really an issue.
Try reconfiguring your TC to use WEP. Once you've got it working, investigate the other security options.
