Setting up Time Capsule as an archive for a time capsule?

Hello,
I have a Time Capsule that I use as an external drive where I save and share photos/videos files across multiple Macs. It's great for moving files off of the Macs since we have thousands of photos/files and they are not small files. I'm on MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5.
Since the primary Time Capsule (1.9 TB) has data I don't want to lose, I want to archive the Time Capsule content to another Time Capsule (2TB).
I have AirPort Utility Version 6.3.1. I've connected the archive Time Capsule to the primary Time Capsule via a USB connector, which is per the AirPort instructions.
In AirPort Utility, I go into the primary Time Capsule and select Edit. I select Disks within the Editor. I then click on the Archive Disks… button. "Destination", however, says "No AirPort disks available." So, I'm not able to select the secondary Time Capsule as the archive drive. I've read some pages about disk formatting and the disk needing to be unencrypted, but I connected the secondary Time Capsule to my Mac and did not find a way to identify or change the disk format or encryption option.
What do I need to do to get the second Time Capsule set up to be the archive drive for the primary Time Capsule that has the photos and other files?
Thanks for your assistance.

I have AirPort Utility Version 6.3.1. I've connected the archive Time Capsule to the primary Time Capsule via a USB connector, which is per the AirPort instructions.
Sorry but no.. the airport instructions are for a USB drive.. the TC is not now or ever accessible over USB.. it is a network drive.. you can plug a plain USB drive into it.. nothing more.
What do I need to do to get the second Time Capsule set up to be the archive drive for the primary Time Capsule that has the photos and other files?
You cannot change anything in the drive of a TC.. it is a network drive.. it is fully controlled by the firmware of the TC.
The only way you backup the TC is to use a software on the computer.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner will do it..
Have everything plugged in by ethernet.. mount both TC and you can make a backup from one TC to the other.
Archive will not work. that is only for a USB directly plugged into the TC.

How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel

How do I set up calendar events that will be for another time zone? My events shift once I travel. The same is true when I am traveling and in another time zone, how do I best set up my events so they are in the correct time slot upon my return?

Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

can you be more specific?.....is the string coming from your "serial1.vi"? and what string specifically are you looking for to make this event happen?
start by looking at the "comparison" pallet for your T/F logic of what specific string you want, wired to your case statement and a timer....

MAX support of SNTP for Real-time controllers

Hey everyone,
I have some PXI systems that allow me to enter a Time Server IP address directly into the MAX setup for the device but I have some other PXI chassis that don't. Does this have to do with the version of Real-time they are running? Can anyone tell me what version of RT and MAX started supporting Time Servers natively through MAX for real-time controllers?
Thanks,
Craig

Hi craige,
It looks like SNTP synchronization is not fully supported for PXI systems:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Configuring-PXI-8184-controller-to-synchronize-to-SNTP-server/td-p/1...
However, for CompactRIO, synchronization with SNTP servers began with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2B057C72B537EA2862572D100646D43
The forum post I linked above does have some links to customer created examples relating to NTP and SNTP Time Servers.
Please note that those examples are both unsupported and a little bit on the older side.

How many time must charge an ipad for first time ?

None. If there is a good charge in the battery when you get it go ahead and use your pad. I use my iPad during the day and leave it to charge overnight. If I use too much battery during the day I'll charge it again.

Setting up brand new Time Capsule and it asks for a Password????

Okay, so I'm attempting to setup my girlfriend's new Time Capsule with her brand new MacBook Pro but when I access Airport Utility and it tells me there's a problem with the Time Capsule accessing the internet, I then click to continue to troubleshoot the Time Capsule and it asks for a password. Now, the Time Capsule has never been used before and is fresh out of the box. WHy is there a password? I will say this detail:
That the brand new MacBook Pro that she recently purchased, she had all over her old data and files and settings transferred from her old MacBook. I don't know if that means that it automatically installed a password or anything, but I tried using the computer administrator password and that didn't work. ANyone have any idea what's going on?

jkwells84, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sometimes it does help to read some documentation. Like most routers, the Time Capsule has an admin password to keep others from being mischievous and changing your settings.
The default admin password is "public."

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

Poor performance with Archived projects on Time Capsule

I work in an educational environment where multiple students share four iMacs (all 2008 models or newer, with 2 or 4 GB of RAM on each machine). When a student is done working on a project for the day they save it as an Archive to a Time Capsule, which is shared by every computer on the network, so that they can access it on any of the computers in the building The problem is that often times, even on projects with only 4 or 6 tracks, the load time is extremely slow from the Time Capsule (10 or more minutes for a 11 MB project yesterday) and once loaded the same projects frequently give the "too many tracks" error and will not play and are thus useless. I tried temporarily moving the project to the HD of the computer in use, but this also took a long time and didn't really solve the problem.
Is it possible we're having bandwidth issues? I could see how this would slow the load time, but not playback once loaded. Our ISP plan is rather slow... probably no more than 5 Mbps and it's shared between 6 or 7 computers at a time.
Any other thoughts or solutions? It's slowed some of our students progress to a halt.

1 megabyte per minute is extremely slow in terms of transferring or opening a file.
it is, but assuming you have more than one machine connected to it, the bandwidth is being split between every machine that's accessing it. as well, it's not designed for what you seem to have purposed it... it's a backup drive, not a working drive (which would also mean you have no backups)
once the Archived project is loaded, shouldn't it no longer be referring wirelessly back to the TC
i've never studied how much disk access GB utilizes, but OS X in general does a lot. the latency alone across that network would have to be huge, and to add to the problem, i doubt there's a 7200RPM drive in the TC.
looking at it anotehr way, we always recommend firewire drives due to the bandwidth problems associated with the file sizes of audio or video data (even USB 2.0 does not have the sustained throughput that FW does). as a quick off-the-top-of-my-head calculation, firewire 400 offers around 50MB/s throughput. 802.11n, the fastest of the current wireless specs, offers around 6.75MB/s (theoretically up to around 15MB/s, but i think that requires multi-channel usage). that's a HUGE difference, and when you're moving lots of data, it's very relevant.

Optimal Setup for New Time Capsule with Wireless AC

I'm curious to see what the hypotehtical optimal setup for my Time Capsule. I understand that wireless speeds depend on a ton of factors and that part of getting the best connection is just trying different options. I have a new Time Capsule that's connected to the following devices: iPhone 5S; new MacBook Air with wireless AC; old iMac from 2007; old AirPort Express that only supports b/g and a newish Apple TV that supports wireless N, I believe. I was connecting to the network (which was not designated with the 5ghz) and I recently chose the option to label the 5ghz. I'm using that now to stream music with the new iPhone and the Apple TV with no problems, but I have no longer have the option of using the old Airport express because it's an old one. I'm thinking of just getting a new Airport Express and leaving it at that, but wanted to know if anyone has some thoughts on this. I'm sure there's a more concise and direct way to ask this question, but my knowledge is pretty limited here. Thanks in advance.

The Time Capsule is already set up for optimal performance when you open up the box.
You can assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network and point devices that are capable to that network. This works well if the device is located close to the Time Capsule.
But, 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so once you move a room or two away, or the signal has to pass through several walls, the 2.4 GHz will be stronger.....and probably faster as well.
But...your device will try to stay locked on the 5 GHz network since you set it up that way.
This type of setup may or may not work best for you. For most users, it is simpler and more effective to use the default settings on the Time Capsule to have both bands use the same network name.
Then, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the signal with the best quality. Best quality may not be the fastest signal since there are lot of factors involved with signal quality. But, if you think about it a bit more, don't you want to have your wireless device connect to the signal with the best quality?
Some users swear by assigning a separate name to the 5 GHz band. I'm not one of them, but If it works well for them and they are happy, then there is no reason to change.
An older AirPort on your network is going to drag down the speeds. You need the new AirPort Express, or better yet an AirPort Extreme if you want to be able to extend the new 802.11ac signal.

HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

Time Capsule as remote device for internet connection sharing

I'm doing tech support for my parents. They have a Netopia DSL/4-port ethernet router/wireless router in one room. They just bought a Time Capsule. They have three laptops: one PowerBook G4 with airport. one PowerBook G4 without airport, and one iBook G3.
The Netopia router is in one room (Room A).
Mom's two airport-less computers are in another room (Room B).
I've set up the Time Capsure in Room B, with it set up to extend the wireless network from the DSL wireless router in Room A.
As far as a wireless Airport Disk, it works. However, when I use ethernet cables to connect the computers that do not have airport, I cannot get the airport disk to show up for either of them. Network preferences for each wired computer shows that ethernet is connected but that it has a self-assigned address and cannot connect to the internet.
When a Time Capsule is set up to extend a wireless network, can you use ethernet cables to hook up non-airport computers to the Time Capsule? Access the internet from it (DSL router - wireless to Time Capsules - wired to PowerBook G4)? Access the Time Capsules own drive (It's not showing up as a server in finder when connected via ethernet cable).

I assume you have configured the Time Capsule as a wireless client on this existing wireless network. "Extending" the existing wireless network with a Time Capsule (ie configuring it as a remote base station) is not possible, since the Netopia wireless router doesn't support this mode of operation of the Time Capsule.
Although not explicitly stated in Apple's documentation for the Time Capsule it is my assumption that the Time Capsule - when configured as a wireless client on a wireless network - does not have active ethernet ports and cannot be used as a wireless-to-wired bridge device.

Setting up your Valet or Valet Plus for the first time

Setting up your Valet or Valet Plus for the first time

Pam,
from what i have gathered while trying to set mine up, the Time Capsule doesn't like other things broadcasting a wireless signal while it is trying to do the same... or at least, the other computers in the area can only recognize one at a time.
So, in your case, you are using your MacBook Pro to wirelessly share the AirCard connection, right? If so, your computer is acting as a router, which means you have two devices trying to connect your computers to the same network wirelessly. I think this is why your computer isn't able to "see" your time capsule wirelessly. What i would recommend for you is to hook up your aircard to a computer that is not used very often, and (if it has a wireless adapter), turn the wireless adapter off. This way, you have only one device doing the wireless connecting (the Time Capsule in Bridge mode), which will direct internet traffic through ethernet to the connected computer.
So, in conclusion, i just don't think it's possible to do what we want to do completely wirelessly.

I have a cable modem for my Time Capsule. Do I need a separate cable modem for my airport express?

I have a cable modem for my Time Capsule. Do I need a separate cable modem for my Airport Express? (I'm using it to "extend" my network and also for Air Play.)

No, you connect to your Time Capsule wirelessly to "Extend" the network..

Yes.
Can one also print wirelessly with an old HP C6280 printer?
Possibly by using an Airport Express, but depends on what type of port connection the printer requires.
