Time Capsule connection over the internet

I bought the new Time Capsule 2T. I do travel a lot and want access to my files on the HDD of the Time Capsule. Despite some info on the internet I can not connect my Time Capsule over the internet. Any ideas how I can set my Time Capsule in such a way that I am able to connect over the internet.

Access Time Capsules HDD over the internet!?

Hi, I've done a search and was wondering if there is any method of connecting to Time Capsule over the Internet. There are some ways, but the setup seems pretty complicated.
Has anyone found an easy method of doing this?
Thanks for the Help!

You have to enable WAN sharing. Then you can access the drive by going to the "go" menu and "connect to server" then typing in: "apf://your external ip". Then punch in your password and you should be connected. For your PC connection you need to go to my computer, right click on it, and select map network drive and type in: "\\your external ip\your disk name". Let me know if it works.

Time Capsule & Connectivity to the Internet

I am using a new MacBook Air with the new time capsule. My chosen network disappears after a while and I must unlock and then choose/open the network dialog box to rechoose my desired network? My Iphone and IPad do not have the same issue.

halo buddy. Unfortunately I didn't find a solution. I tried, calling apple care, reaching this forum, google, but failed, and then I sent it to apple retail store to change a new one since it's still in warranty. Genius Bar people told me it's hard to tell what the disgnosis was because it would take time to carry on tests, according to my description of the periodical loss of internet connection.
I didn't meet your iphone pc sync thing. Yes very strange situation. I strongly recommend you to take it to the apple retail store. But should its warranty expired, would help if you make a call before you go.

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

Can I access the data backed up on my time capsule remotely via the Internet?

Can I access the data backed up on my time capsule remotely via the Internet? Let us say I have all my music or photos on my time capsule at home and I want to access it while I am outside over the Internet can I do this?

See remote access methods here.

I am not sure what format these files are in.. but if they are itunes or iphoto.. have a care.. it is easy to corrupt them.

Itunes writes off $ 1 each time they connect to the Internet. Shopping at the time was not. For what? How do I know?

How to connect my time capsule & macbook to the internet?

I purchased a Time Capsule last weekend to back up all my photos etc. I was able to set up the Time Capsule with Airport Utility and now have my home network set up, I can easily get everything I need on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009, Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 if that helps?) EXCEPT I can't get the time capsule to connect to the internet. For some reason whenever I want to access my pictures or the time capsule, I have to connect to the wireless network but if I want to connect to the internet I have to reconnect to my old wireless network. I have tried everything but just can't get it to work correctly! The Time Capsule light has only ever flashed orange at me...

time capsule should be in bridge mode and plugged into your main router so it is part of the existing network.
Bridge on you Lion version is easy as you can still download and install a real utility.

Time Capsule working without the internet being turned on ?

I set my TC up last week and it first I thought you could just plug it in, connect to it, and then wirelessly backup. I was wrong.
The only way I could get it to work was by connecting it wirelessly to my router/internet connection.
Now whenever the router is switched off the TC will not work until it is turned on.
Surely the TC can just be used for wireless backup without the need of the internet being turned on?
TIA

For you to be able to connect wirelessly to a Time Capsule independently of you Internet connection, your Mac would have to connect to two wireless networks at once. Mac OS X isn't really organized to make that feasible.
If all you want to do with the Time Capsule is to use it as a backup drive, it would have been cheaper to buy such a drive.

Time capsule cannot find the internet

I have been using a prior Time Capsule (flat square 2 Tb). Recently I've had intermittent problems connecting to Time Capsule. After resetting it would would again work briefly then the Time Capsule would be lost from the wireless connection to my MacBook Pro using Yosemite. I suspected a hard drive issue and decided to upgrade.
I purchased the latest Time Capsule 3 Tb (ME2LL/A) to increase backup capacity and hopefully faster wireless transfer.
I disconnected the old and plugged in the new. I was unable to connect to the internet. I know the ethernet from the modem is working. It can be directly connected to the computer and all is well. All I get on the Time Capsule is a blinking yellow light. I have done multiple resets without a connection. Thinking I may have a defective unit, I returned it for exchange. The same problem occurred as with the firs unit It cannot connect to the internet.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Yosemite is a cause of pain and suffering.
First things first can we simply bypass Yosemite.. at least do the setup with another computer .. non-yosemite. An iphone or ipad using airport utility for iOS is actually superior by far cf airport utility now in Mac OS. It seems to have far less hassles.
Start with a full factory reset of the TC.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Tell us then if you are forced to use Yosemite what is happening.
When you open the airport utility it should show an airport that needs configuration.
Make sure wireless is on and make sure the new device shows under the wifi icon in the top menu area.
Make sure you set ipv6 to link-local only for whatever connection you use.
I do recommend if you run into trouble and have no luck plus no ipad/iphone available.
Do it manually. Fully manual instructions using ethernet.. here.
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

How do I stop apps from automatically downloading every time I connect to the internet?

When my iPhone connects to the internet, an average of four apps automatically download on my device. What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?

I've just got a new iPad, got 8 updates available on app store, after like 5 min there were 4 updates. It was when I realised that it was automatically downloading stuff, so i disabled it from iTunes and App Stores settings as you wrote. The problem is that even though I disabled everything, every time I reconnect this iPad to wi-fi it continues to download because from 4 available updates it went down to 2. And somehow it managed to download GarageBand update, that's 600mb off of my monthly 8gb!! Why does it keep downloading from app store?

How do I connect my Time Capsule directly to the internet cable from the wall?

My Time Capsule only works if I connect it to my wireless router with a LAN cable. But, when I plug the cable from the wall directly into the Time Capsule, it just blinks orange. What am I not doing right?

There is no modem in the TC.. you need a modem.. your wireless router is actually a modem router.. not just a modem.. so it could be replaced with a straight modem.. sometimes.. it can be bridged .. sometimes..
But you still haven't told us enough.. what broadband do you have?
What model is the existing modem router? How does it authenticate to the ISP?
Once we know those things we can suggest further options.

Takes a long time to connect to the internet when I first open an app

I bought my Macbook Pro Retina 13inch last weekend and I love it! Everything was working fine but over the last couple of days, when I first open an app, for example Safari, Google Chrome, iTunes, App Store, anything that requires an internet connection, it takes a long time to load up that first time, but after the first page has been loaded it works again fine until closing the app and re-opening it. When loading the App Store or iTunes it has even said an internet connection is required, even though my connection is fine and the other apps are still loading ok.
I first thought it was my WIFI connection but I have checked my router and everything seems fine, also my iPad and iPhone are still working fine with the internet.
Has anyone else had the same problem or can offer me a solution?

I am getting the same issue, on first starting safari the first page takes an age to load.. once it has everything is fine.
I have tried the 'Reset Safari' function but no difference. This only happens on my Macbook Pro Retina, Using safari on my iphone or ipad is fine. (I connect via ethernet too so its not a wifi problem.)
Any one got an answer to this yet?

Is there a way I can store presentations on a mac to stream to apple tv and control from an iPad without storing presentation on iPad at any time or connecting to the internet; i.e. just through local wifi network?

I am looking at setting up a Local Wifi Network using a Mac and Airport Extreme.
I wish to store presentations on the Mac.
I wish to teach from the presentations through Apple TVs in my classrooms using IPad to control presentation, annotate etc
I don't want to have to upload presentation to iPad from Mac as this will be in server room.
I don't want to access internet so iCloud Drive is out of the question.
What options do I have?
Many thanks
Dave

You would need to find an app that lets you remotely access the Mac (e.g. Logmein). You would need to be aware of how much the network can handle.

Can I use Apple Remote desktop to connect over the internet?

I would like to use Apple Remote Desktop to connect back to my MacPro desktop at home while I am on my Macbook Air at work. Will I need a static IP from my service provider to do it.

Hi
It's not absolutely necessary but it would be more useful if you did have one. Most ISPs will require you to have a business class broadband service at your home rather than a residential one. These cost more (a lot more in some cases) than a residential service. Call your home location's ISP and discuss it with them.
If the cost is too much then you could go for a DynDNS account which is free. The details of this account would be configured in the whatever you're using as a firewall at your home's location. This assumes the firewall has the facility to add such an account. Thereafter it's just a question of configuring the port fowarding feature of that firewall.
A potentially 'big' problem though is whether or not your workplace will allow that kind of traffic out of their network. This would be something you'd need to discuss with them first.
HTH?
