Time capsule and d link 1522

I have 2 questions. First how do you network a D-link 1522 bridge to Time Capsule. The bridge is used to run the wireless network with my tv. Second, how do I wirelessly hook up an HP 2710 all in one printer to Time Capsule. The printer asks for a WEP key. Time Capsule does not use WEP.

I suggest you:
1. turn on "bridge mode" on TimeCapsule to disable its built in router
2. cable one of the Time Capsule LAN ports to one of the LAN ports on your D-Link modem/router. You can use the extra LAN (not WAN) ports on Time Capsule to cable other devices to if you wish

Time capsule and tp link 8840t modem

Hi
I can connect via ethernet through the TP Link 8840T v3 modem but any wireless device somehow can not get through the modem.
The Time Caspule WLAN is up and all devices can connect but go no further.
Is there a setting I need to make to either device?
Thanks
Mark

I recommend you set the TP-Link to bridge and use the PPPoE client in the TC.. all ISP in Australia use PPPoE which I am guessing you are located.. tell me if elsewhere.
You may need to reset the TC and redo the setup so it is the main router.
Also when you change things over.. shut down everything.. not sleep.. reboot modem.. wait 2min then restart the router .. wait another 2min and then all the clients can start together.

Accessing Time Capsule and linked external hard drive from other devices and copying to these drives

Hi
Please be gentle. I am not that technically able :-)
I have managed to set up my time capsule. Router working, external hard drive linked, time machine back ups working...
The last thing I am looking to do is to access files on my time capsule and also external hard drive (linked to it), from Mac, Iphones, Ipads, Apple TV, Windows laptops X2. Am I able to do that? Have read so many discussions but dont get the answer. Please be gentle :-)
Regards
Tommy

The last thing I am looking to do is to access files on my time capsule and also external hard drive (linked to it), from Mac
This should be automatic.. find the TC disk under shared in finder.. double click it and see under the data folder.. you can create new folders in there.
Note using the TC for data and TM backups is not the greatest of ideas.. please read pondini.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
The external drive is fine though..
Now it can have loads of issues if you run Mavericks.. so if you have trouble.. do not be surprised.. if you run Mavericks.. be surprised if it works without trouble.
Iphones, Ipads
iOS devices are not file based.. they are not intended to be used with a file device like TC and will neither backup to it nor open files from it.. of course what apple wants and what users want are different things so there are plenty of file apps to help you read and write files.
Filebrowser is the major one.
http://www.stratospherix.com/products/filebrowser/
You still cannot backup though.. iOS uses itunes to backup or icloud.
Apple TV
There is nothing you can do with AppleTV.. it is not a file device at all.. it is not even a media player.. it is a streamer. (Early model Gen1 and Gen2 can be jailbreak.. so they do actually have media player ability) Gen3 is tied to its mother's (iTunes) skirts with steel cables.. no JB.. no use really. If you want to play movies from a TC buy a WD Live TV.. it is a player.. !!
Windows laptops X2
You can access the TC from windows..
1. Make sure the TC naming complies with windows networking.. to put that simply.. all names should be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Apple wizard will recommend a name for the TC, like
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.. this is wrong on so many levels.
It will be a total pain on windows.. use FBATC or TC or anything you like.. as long as it follows the rules..
Short 2-20 characters.. less than 10 is better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
All names must comply.. TC name and wireless name/s
2. Load the airport utility for windows into the computer.. you can download for up to win7.. apple haven't bothered with windows since then and are pretty out of date. The win7 utility will load on win8 with the usual voodoo and astrological help.
3. Windows must be set to home for location.. if you cannot open a command window and ping the TC by ip and name, then pull down the firewalls.
4. In windows explorer type into the address bar directly.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (using, of course, the real name or real IP).

Is there any downside to using a reference type library if I use Time Capsule and will do file management only from within Aperture?

Have done a lot of reading to get prepared to convert to Aperture 3 and have this question regarding setting up my library type.
I'm not a professional -just a heavy user hobbyist.
It appears that the major factors in using reference style is to backup the images with Time Capsule and always do moves or deletes from within the Aperture application.
If my architecture matters here's what I have that may be involved in photo management and editing:
iMac (latest 27" high power version with lots of memory)
Internal 2TB HD where the library is stored
External (FireWire) 2TB HD where the images are stored
External (FireWire) 6TB HD backup drive
In the future an iPad for remote work on images (when/if available) and a Mac laptop (for same remote use)
I see major downside issues to letting the library manage my files - such as inaccessibility (or awkward accessibility) to the images for other programs, and performance issues when the library gets large (thousands of images or 100+ gb in size)
The chief complaints I've seen regarding using a reference mode is the broken link issues created if file management is done outside of Aperture (adds, deletes, moves of files) and the inability to use the Vault function for backup.
One feature that I imagine I'd like to have is maximum integration with Final Cut Pro X and that's one area I haven't seen much on and would be interested to hear about if that integration is affected with the choice of managed vs referenced library types. (I like to produce film clips that are combinations of pics and video and want to be set up so that is done in the easiest fashion when working in FCP X)
I'm sure I've not seen all sides of this issue and would like to see some discussion around this question.
Thanks to everyone contributing!

Goody, Goody, you hit a few of my favorite subjects! Herewith some comments, with the usual caveats - true to the best of my knowledge and experience, others may have different results, YMMV, and I could be wrong.
I run Aperture on two machines:
-- 2007 Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Xeon, 21 GB of RAM, a 5770 GPU, and multiple HD. I have about 11,000 images, taking up 150 GB. (Many are 100 MB TIFF, scanned slides)
-- 2006 Mac Book Pro with 1 2.0 GHz Core Duo, 2 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD.
Two very different machines.
-- Aperture Libraries are all the same - Managed or Referenced. If Managed, then the Master image files are inside the Package, if Referenced, they are outside, and you can have any combination you want. Managed is easier, but Referenced is not hard if you are the least bit careful.
-- While the sheer size of an Aperture Library is not a big issue, the location on disk of the different components can have a tremendous impact on performance.
-- Solid State Drives (SSD) read and write faster than regular Hard Disks (HD) and, what is more important, empty HD read and write much faster than full HD.
-- Aperture speed requires a combination of RAM, CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU) speed, and disk speed. The more RAM you have, the less paging you will see. With enough RAM, the next bottle neck is CPU (speed and cores) and GPU speed. But even then you will still have to fetch an image (longer if you pull the full resolution Master, read and rewrite the Version file, and update the Preview and Thumbs.
So what works?
-- RAM, RAM, and more RAM. 4 GB will work, but you will page a bit. 8 GB is much faster. On my old MacPro the sweet spot was about 16 GB of RAM.
-- Keep your Library on your fastest (usually internal) drive. Keep that disk as unloaded as possible. How do you keep it unloaded? Either buy BIG, 1 TB+ or move your Masters off onto another disk. The good news here is that as Master files are written only once and never rewritten, speed of this disk, as opposed to the disk that holds the Library, is not important. There is a one second pause as the Master is read into memory and, if you have enough RAM, that is it - the Master will never be paged out. If, on the other hand, you do not have enough RAM, and you do a lot of adjusting at full resolution, then the speed of the disk that holds your Masters will become very important due to paging.
-- I found that I picked up a tiny bit of speed by keeping the Masters on a dedicated disk. Thus, in your configuration, if you can dedicate that 2 TB FW HD to your Masters, you should see very nice performance.
Final notes on backups and archives:
-- One conventional wisdom is that you should make an archive copy of every image file before or as you load them into your system. (Aperture in this case.) This archive is then never touched or deleted.
-- An alternative approach is that you do not keep such an archive, but only the images that you have in your Aperture Library. And when you delete from the Library, you no longer keep a copy anywhere.
I do the following:
-- Card to Aperture. Card is then kept at least 24 hours until all of my backups have run. (I use three - Time Machine, Clone, and off site.)
-- I do not keep archive copies. If I decide to delete a file, my only recourse is to recover it from Time Machine during the six month cycle of my Time Machine backups. Thereafter, it is lost.
There are merits to both approaches.
Hope this is clear, correct, and responsive to your needs.

ITunes Library on External Hard Drive via Time Capsule and plugged in directly to laptop when away from home

To save space on my macbook pro I would like to export my iTunes library onto an external usb hard drive. So that I don't have to have the hard drive plugged in to my laptop all the time when I am at home I would like to plug it into a Time Capsule and access it over my wireless network. This is the simple part that I am confident about setting up.
The tricky part is as follows. When I take my laptop out of the house when I am traveling I would like to still be able to access my iTunes library by plugging the external usb hard drive directly into my laptop as I will not be able to access my home network anymore.
I know this will potentially break all of the tracks in my iTunes library as the file paths will change as it will be plugged directly into my laptop rathern than via the Time Capsule. Does anybody know of a way to quickly fix all of the broken tracks in the library or a way I could achieve the above?
I hope someone can help me

I have nothing wireless in the house and no experience with Time Capsules. However, as long as the drive appears on the desktop in both scenarios there should be no problem. If there is, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and guide it to the library.itl file on the external drive.
Do not confuse moving your library with moving your media, as many people do. Your library is your whole iTunes folder. You move it by copying the whole folder to the other drive and starting iTunes with the option key as above. If you want to move only media you do so through preferences settings in iTunes,making sure you organize (consolidate) your media so it actually copies it to the other drive. There are advantages and disadvantages to either situation, but generally unless you are going to have media on one several drives, or you plan on sharing media but not library listings with other users, you are best off moving teh whole library. Moving the whole library also has less potential for resulting in broken links since your library is all in one package and not split across drives.

Time Capsule and iTunes set up not working, please help.

I have moved my itunes library to my time capsule and changed my itunes preferred path to its time capsule location. However when I restart my apple laptop, after having shut it off for the night, and open itunes (time capsule is visible and accessible to the laptop), itunes has reversed the preferred path I set to point to my time capsule to my local laptop hard drive instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have looked in other discussions concerning lost itunes file paths, however I never had this issue with my wired external drive; and I only start iTunes after I am sure that my computer can access the files on my time capsule. Thank you.
My laptop is a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz running Mac OS X (10.5.2)

If you're still experiencing "disconnects," even with the earlier firmware, but not experiencing these at all when directly connecting your computer to the modem, there is a good chance that one of the following may still be the problem:
o Bad Ethernet cable between the D-Link & TC.
o The TC is faulty.
o The D-Link is faulty.
o The TC & D-Link are just not compatible with each other.
o The ADSL signal strength, coming from your ISP into the D-Link, may need "tuning."
I'd start with trying a known good Ethernet cable. If that doesn't resolve the problem try contacting your ISP/ADSL-Provider next to see if they can run a ADSL line diagnostic to verify that there is a good signal to the D-Link; While you have them on the line, see if they can provide you with another modem.
Finally, if available to you, try temporarily replacing the current TC with another TC or another wireless router.

Time Capsule and Apple Tv Question regarding iTunes

(Sorry if this has been asked) I wanted to know if you could set up the time capsule as basically a centralized itunes server and connect to it from multiple apple tv's at the same time to stream music to different rooms( 3 rooms at most) if not will this work one stream at a time?

If you go into File, Preferences, and click ADVANCED, you will see a checkbox that says
Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library.
You want to uncheck this.
If you have your library on an external drive, and you want to keep the files there, you uncheck that box and it wont copy the files to your hard drive, just link to them.
In my case, I had my iTunes library on my Macbook. I copied all 20g over to my Time Capsule by dragging the folder in it's entirety to the TC. Then on my Macbook pro i clicked the startup icon and held down OPTION. This asked if I cwanted to create a new library or open another. I chose open another, navigated to the Time Capsule, and it worked perfectly.
THere will of course now be syncing issues between my music. I use my Macbook as my purchase and portable library, so I will now have to either completely copy the directory once a day/week etc or i'll have to export any new songs/music i buy from iTunes to a disc and then import into the new library. Also wont keep my play lists in sync. But that's a smallish issue for ME.

Time Capsule and Time Machine can't back up

Time Machine can't backup my Mac Book Pro with Time Capsule and show me a window with this error: "Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/German-Time Capsule/German's MacBookPro_001f5be7ffd1.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error-1)"
I can't back up and I can't access to my old backups via Time Machine.
What can I do to solve this problem. Here in Argentina, nobody at Apple knows what to do with this problem.

The best guide to Time Machine and the Time Capsule on the internet is linked at the Time Capsule main forum page.

I have just bought time capsule and airport works

I have just bought time capsule and the airport part is working, but when I try to link to the back up disc I get a request for a password. "writeconfig wants to use the "com.apple.parentcontrols.keychain.YynLph keychain. Any ideas? I've tried a number of passwords for the mac and none work.

Please see Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ.
You can do it from using a paper clip and the reset button on the back of the unit. See the link above.

Time Capsule and Time Machine through Ethernete

Hello I hope that someone can help me in this problem that I'm having with the configuration of my Time Capsule.
Topology:
TC --- (WAN) --- Router --- AP --- MBP
|
+--- (DSL) --- INTERNET
where;
TC - Time Capsule
WAN - WAN interface on the Time Capsule
AP - Access Point
MBP - Macbook Pro
The ip addresses are:
TC - 192.168.2.2
Router connected to the TC - 192.168.2.1
Router connected to the AP - 192.168.1.1
MBP - 192.168.1.23
DSL - public ip address
This is how I connected the TC and this is how is connected my network in my home/office...
I configured the Time Capsule to be my backup device through the internet (mobile me) and with my local wireless network.
The problem:
I don't know why I can't get connected to the TC using the Time Machine application, I can reach it through ping or through the configuration assistance of the AirPort Utility...
If I want to configure it this is what I do:
* Open AirPort Utility
* Go to File - Configure Other and then type the ip address 192.168.2.2 and the password that I configured.
With these steps I'm able to get the information of the TC.
BTW the TC is in green and the AirPort in the TC is off...
The problem is that every time that I open the Time Machine app it asks me about "Select Backup Disk" so I click over there, then I click over "Set Up Time Capsule" and opens AirPort utility so if I try to get the TC I can't reach it, it stuck in RESCAN!!!
I have no idea what to do or how to set up or connect the devices.
Thanks a lot and I hope that someone can help me!!!

Tesserax,
No problem with the questions... I'm more than glad that you help me with this problem...
Regarding what you asked let me answer:
o With the TC connected directly to the Cisco router by Ethernet, do you have the TC reconfigured as a bridge? (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))
- Yes... It's already configured as Bridge mode in the internet connection...
o Do you have the TC configured with a static Private IP address provided by the Cisco's DHCP Server service? ... and is that static IP address the 192.168.2.2 you mentioned?
- Yes. I already configured the static IP address as 192.168.2.2
If you have more questions please let me know, I want you to have my complete picture of the diagram
Let me share you this next link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5594932/TimeCapsuleProblem.doc
Also let me share you this diagram: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5594932/Diagrama%20LAN%20INTERNET.pdf
Is a dropbox document that I uploaded so you can see the screenshots in the Time Capsule. Hope this can help better!!!
Thanks again!!!

Time Capsule and iTunes working with external HDD

Hello all.
I have a situation I would to share with you and see if there is a solution.
I have a PC and a Macbook Air. I had a Time Capsule which had my iTunes library but the drive failed and I lost everything. However when it was running things weren't going great. Because the Time Capsule was a bit clever, it only spun the HDD when TIme Machine was backing my MBA.
This meant that I had trouble accessing my iTunes library because it wasn't always available. So I would have to locate the library on most occasions and on even more occasions iTunes lost the links with my media files and had to go through the time consuming 'Find files' process.
I was wondering if an answer to my problem would be to store all my music and other media on an external HDD (like the GoFlex). The I could plug it into my PC, then my MBA and if I wanted to make it avable to both I could plug it into Time Capsule and it would 'broadcast' it to both.
I was wondering if anyone had tried this and how it worked, Would iTunes see the HDD plugged directly into the MBA as the same as the HDD being plugged into the Time Capsule?
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Where are you seeing those values?

Time Capsule and NAT

After trying to use various torrent programs and getting terrible speed from all of them, I did some research and it seems that I need to start Port Forwarding. I have a D-Link DSL-G604T router which has UPnP enabled and so I went on to enable the NAT port mapping protocol on my Time Capsule, which is connected to the D-Link router via ethernet and is broadcasting the network. I then realised that I have the connection sharing set to Off (Bridge Mode) which makes it so that I cannot enable NAT on my Time Capsule, which is what I need for Port Forwarding. How can I make it so my router becomes solely the thing that gets the internet to the Time Capsule and make my Time Capsule the one that distributes the IP Addresses and the such? Oh dear I'm lost in all this.

Since your Time Capsule is in bridge mode, there is no adjustment to be done there.
What you need to do is forward the port(s) through the D-Link. That is the only place that could be affecting your connection.

Time Capsule and Vista - Backup Software?

I am using TC on my home networks which is accessed from a XP Desktop and a Vista Laptop.
Once setup I can map to the TC Drive on my Vista machine.....however I do not see the drive under the "Network" link in Windows Explorer. With this setup I can drag files to the TC Drive very easily.
What I want to do is use a backup product that can perform the backups automatically (like Time Machine does with TC). I tried to use the Vista backup tool but I am unable to select the TC Drive - it does not appear as a drive or as available on the network.
The Vista laptop accesses the TC Disk wirelessly. I think the backup process in XP worked ok, I don't remember now.
Anyone found a way to use Vista and TC with a windows based backup tool? Thanks in advance.

I actually made some headway last night, but I can't say what exactly solved the problem (perhaps it is just fixed temporarily).
Last night I was prompted to update the firmware to 7.3.1, which I did. I still could see the mapping of the drive in Windows but not under the "Network" link so it was not visible from Windows.
I walked away for a few hours and when I came back....for some reason I could now see the Time Capsule, and the TC drive, under the network link. I then tried to access it from Vista Backup. I can now select the drive and I used the credentials admin/"the password I used when I setup access to the TC disk". I then get an RPC error and after looking in Windows forums I see 80 odd posts on this. So I gave up.
I then pulled down a trial of Acronis (I think version 11) and.....believe it or not...it all worked beautifully. I had to be able to see the drive under the network link first....that was key. I used the same credentials above in Acronis to map to the TC drive and overnight it backed up my files to the TC drive. This is what I needed.
But to summarize.....I don't know what caused the drive to become visible under the "Network" link in Windows Explorer. Once this worked then I could use a backup tool (just not the Vista tool as it is crap!!). There is also a free backup tool out there called Corbian (http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm). Have not tried this yet but I might as the drive is now visible.

Time Capsule and Netgear Powerline

I have a 2TB Time capsule and need to extend my network (wired) through HomePlugs. I have had the Netgear Powerline recommended but have noted in the blurb that they are 'not Mac compatible'.
Will they work with my TC and is it simply just a case of plugging them in and they work or is there anything else I need to do settings wise on the TC?
If these will not work can anyone recommend otheres that do and also walk me through the settings I will need to change 9in very simple steps as I am a bit thick ).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Everything works. Follow directions for extending your wireless network at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Notes:
I first connected the Time Capsule directly to the AirPort Exteme to avoid any powerline networking issues. This allowed both the time capsule and airport extreme to show up in the AirPort Utility program.
Ensure that in the AirPort Extreme's wireless settings, "Allow this network to be extended" is enabled/checked before you modify the Time Capsule's settings; the "allow... extended" checkbox might not be visible if you are not directly connected as a client to the AirPort Extreme (it is not visible after setup when you are a client of the time capsule extender).
The Time Capsule network setup is easiest if you follow the dialogs instead of doing it manually.
I now have cable modem->ABEX->Netgear HomePlug-> Netgear XAV1004 switch-> Time Capsule->extended wireless network->laptop. The powerline adapter signal is running from a new house addition built in 1999 through a sub-panel circuit breaker to a main circuit breaker out through 1940s-era wiring, and everything works perfectly, including Time Machine backups from machines on both sides of the powerline adapters.
@LaPastenague: I haven't detected any ports blocked by my Netgear powerline adapter, nor could I find any port blocking topics via an internet search. I have never installed any of the Netgear management software, so my powerline adapters are not running any encryption... maybe encryption comms cause the issue you raised? I really doubt the Netgear PowerLine adapters block any host-specific ports because the adapters are working at the physical and data-link layers which are below the port assignments in the transport layer of the OSI model.

I just bought a time capsule and it will not connect to preexisting home WiFi.

I just bought a time capsule and it will not connect to preexisting home WiFi. The Airport Utility recognizes one of my neighbors networks but not mine. I have ATT&T U-verse. I understand I can use the Airport time capsule as a router but would prefer to use it in my existing network

I have a similar hookup, I have a Airport Extreme & Time Capsule. I would like to connect my Extreme to the Time Capsule "6th gen". I would also like to use the LAN ports on the Extreme.

As long as you have two apple routers then it is up to you which way you do it.
You can connect them by ethernet and use it setup as roaming network.. for wireless.. it will simply be bridged on the router side. Ethernet is much the faster solution.
But if you want to use wireless link that is also fine if the range is not too great. Then ethernet to the computer.. so you effectively have a wireless bridge...
so, Cablemodem----Airport Extreme- - - - - - - -wireless link- - - - - Time Capsule------computer
Where the more solid lines are ethernet.. that is possible setup. And using the TC directly on ethernet to the computer will keep your backup speed good while also giving you hopefully your full internet speed so that works well.
