Time Capsule Erased Window Partition

Good Morning,
I recently purchased and set up a time capsule with my macbook pro. All worked well, or so i thought until this morning when i went to start my macbook up in the Windows partition. I created this partition about a month or two before i installed the time capsule. Luckily there wasnt much saved on there as the windows partition was not there when i pressed the alt key on start up... Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so, where did it go? and how can i get it back? Can i simply just run boot camp again or will that wipe my time capsule?
Thanks in Advance!

Nope, still not making sense.
First of all..
(although i have been told by apple that you can partition time capsule)
Where did you hear this, a Genius or AppleCare advisor? Because I suspect there is some communication here. You CAN NOT partition a TC.... well... at least not officialy (not going to say any more on that). However, what you CAN DO, is partition an ext drive, and the use Time Machine to backup to one of the partitions on that EXT drive.
When you "installed" the time capsule, I still can't think of any possible way that it woud have DEPLETED your windows partition. The TC is just a physical backup device.
Are you sure you are using the term Time Capsule to represent something else here?

Will time capsule bacukup windows partition?

Will Time Capsule backup the whole disk to include any Windows software installed via Boot Camp?

You may be able to use the WinClone app to back up the BootCamp partition. I don't do Windoze, though, so there may be other apps as well.
If you decide to do that, your best bet may be to limit the size of the TM backups, or create a disk image on the Time Capsule, to "reserve" enough space on it for the BootCamp backups, as mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's internal HD can cause conflicts. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.

Firmware 7.4.1 Time Capsule and Windows

Hi
I know that firmware 7.4.1 has caused problems for people using Time Capsules with Windows PCs:
http://theappleblog.com/2009/03/06/a...ate-available/
I know that this problem affects the original TCs as I actually have an original TC and I had the problem with firmware 7.4.1 (fixed by downgrading to 7.3.2).
Does anyone know if the problem with 7.4.1 only affects the older TCs or does it affect the new updated TCs (released earlier this year) as well?
I want to buy another TC, but not if it has the 7.4.1 problem and not if it can't be downgraded to 7.3.2.
Thanks

i have been using an AEB w/ an attached USB drive to backup wirelessly using Time Machine for several months. I've had no problems restoring several files wirelessly from the TM backup. No problems at all so far. I have a 2nd hard drive attached to the AEB which serves iTunes and movies wirelessly. No problems there either.
The only issue is that accessing these drives is slow even when the mac is connected to the AEB via ethernet (the TC exhibits the same issue). If you aren't upset by that speed, or don't mind jacking the drive straight into you mac when you need to make big transfers, it's a perfectly livable system. I was certainly hoping that the new AEB and TC would feature upgraded server ability and loosen up that bottleneck but they apparently have not. c'est la vie
As far as an official comment from apple is concerned, it's doubtful that you'll ever get that. And if you did get it, what good would it do? Do you think they'd pay you a huge settlement if they 'officially supported' this backup method and you wound up with a corrupted backup that caused data loss? It either works or it doesn't and personally I give more credence to the experience of other users and my own cautious trial than I do to any official statement Apple makes on the subject.

My time capsule erased all my files, is it possible to recover any of it?

My time capsule erased all my files, is it possible to recover any of it?

None of free or lower priced utilities will get the files back. Disk Warrior might be able to get into the drive.

If still no luck, you will need to look into having a professional data restoration service try to get the files.
Unfortunately, no guarantees with either approach above since Disk Utility was unable to repair things and the file structure is likely corrupted.
Good luck in your quest.

Time capsule in windows XP

How do you set up the time capsule in windows XP as a network drive, I tried to map it using \\10.0.1.1\name but i cant see the drive

Did you load bonjour for windows onto the PC.. ?? That helps alot.
The full windows version of the airport utility includes bonjour I believe.
Did you set the TC in the right workgroup.. on the disk file sharing page of the manual setup in airport utility?
Did you turn on guest access with read and write permissions.
Also just use the IP and see what resources are available.. if you misspell the name it will already fail. And use SMB compatible names.. ie short no spaces.. no apostrophe in particular.. as Apple setup loves to do.. pure alphanumeric.

How do i set up my time capsule with windows

How do I set up my airport time capsule using Windows 7 home premium?

If you have the newest AC model TC.. you might be in trouble. Apple specifically state you need v6 airport utility. They do not provide v6 with windows.. only Mac and iOS. If you happen to have iphone, ipad even itouch, you can download and install the airport utility and use that.. you just cannot do the setup from windows.

Using Printer via Time Capsule for Windows

Hi,
Could you please guide me how can I use printer connect to my time capsule from windows based PC. I can do it from my mac but unable to print it from Windows PC.
I have also downloaded Bonjour, it detects my HP printer 1018 but when it comes to driver it is not able to locate also tried so many different option for the driver but unfortuntely no luck so somebody please guide me to print (HP Laserjet 1018 printer) from windows connected via Time Capsule 2TB.

When you setup the printer choose a local printer.. then change the port to TCP/IP and type in the IP of the TC.
Complete the setup.. and choose the 1018 HP printer drivers.
That should be all there is to it.
Download the airport utility for windows and see if the printer is there.
Ensure you have the TC setup in WORKGROUP for file sharing.
Make sure the computer is in home.. not work or public.
Make sure you do not have homegroup activated.
If that doesn't work turn off the firewall and try again.

Hard drive networked through Time Capsule for Windows and Mac

My previous setup was using an old Dell laptop with Windows XP to network share both my Samsung laser printer and my Seagate GoFlex 2 tb drive formated to NTFS, and all Windows 7, Windows 8, and OS X 10.6+ machines in the house were successfully able to connect to both. My wife replaced her old Macbook Pro she got in 2008 and decided to get a Time Capsule as well to backup her iMac and new Macbook Air. I decided to take advantage of the "features" of the Time Capsule, and hubbed the single port, just as I had done with the old Dell. After installing Bonjour on the Windows 7 machines I was able to share the printer just fine, however I'm still unable to share the drive for some reason.
The Airport utility on both the Macs and Win 7 machines see the hard drive in utilities, the box in Airport for file sharing is checked, guest access turned off, secure disk sharing with device password, and workgroup matches my workgroup. However the hard drive still doesn't appear. I tried formatting it to FAT32 based on some older forums posted in 2008-2009 range, but then realized the hard drive is too large for that, and I'm not looking to have a bunch of smaller partitions. I tried exFAT, but that failed too. Now I'm back to NTFS, but still with the issue that none of the machines recognize hard drive via the Explorer/Finder.
The Time Capsule is functioning as a backup with Time Machine for her Mac's, but I'm looking to use the external drive connected more as a media center storage and storing selected individual files (think networked thumb drive/USB stick) from my machines.

Put the seagate drive onto the Mac and format it Mac OS extended journaled. (HFS+ for short) and you will also need to change the partition over to GUID from MBR.
TC has very limited formats it can recognise.. FAT32 and HFS+ (well FAT16 but that doesn't count). exfat no, ntfs no, Really with FAT32 being hopeless.. you have one choice .. HFS+.
The Windows machines can handle files to the drive just fine.. because it is a network drive.. it is offered to the network as SMB protocol.. in windows it will look like NT server. The precise format of the drive is irrelevant and is handled by the firmware of the TC.
But do reset the partition scheme to GUID.. not MBR.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph5845
You can even put 2 or more partitions on it.. but only one is fine.

Time capsule for window pc

I was wondering if the time capsul can backup the pc program as well and the backup can be use to re-install correctly on the pc, because the document creat in Mac may altered in pc.

Unless you dragged them there yourself or used a third-party product capable of backing up to network drives, they won't be there. There is no Time Machine for Windows, and the Mac OS X version of Time Machine won't back up a Windows drive or partition.

Time capsule and windows xp

I run windows xp on boot camp, becouse I have a management software which works only on PCs.
If I would buy a time capsule, when leopard does a back-up, are the files in window backed-up or have I to do it manually?
I don't mean the time machine feature, but only the wireless back-up one.
Time capsule works as an acces point, too. Can I connect a network printer to it?

The app in Leopard that does backups is called Time Machine. And, NO, TM will not back up your XP partition.

I don't know what back up feature you are talking about if it's NOT TM.

Yes, if it's supported. The Time Capsule USB port can also accommodate a supported USB printer (printing only) and HDD.

Can No Longer See Time Capsule on Windows 7 Laptop

I installed a time capsule as our home network about a year ago. The time capsule is hard wired to the FIOS router (FIOS router wireless turned off). Our computers and digital devices connect to the tme capsule wifi network. I set up the time capsule to be used as a wireless extrnal hard drive and we connect to it with a couple of windows 7 pcs.
About a week ago, around the time of a couple of windows updates, the external drive stopped showing up on one of the laptops. Can still see it and work with it on the other laptop. Wifi network still works fine. Green light on time capsule.
I tried going back to a prior restore point before all the updates, but still cannot "see" the hard drive.
Tried restarting both the laptop and the time capsule, to no avail.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Mike

OK, I fixed it. I went into "Programs and Features" on the control panel and I basically right clicked on Bonjour and Airport and asked wondows to "repair" them. After a few seconds, the Time Capsule had reappeared in "My Computer."
I'm guessing that some critical process required to see the drive had been turned off or stopped working, but who knows ...

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.

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.
