Time Capsule folder access

I finally got my time capsule working and copied the old data on my new Macbook Air. However I am not able to get into the folders. It says i am not authorized?

I figured out the ethernet issue. I was using time capsule wirelessly along with the 2 Wire Modem. I just hooked the two together and disabled the wireless function on the Time Capsule with Airport Utility and also turned off Airport. Now the Time Capsule is directly connected to the I-Mac by ethernet. However, I still was not able to restore the i-Photo collection. The Time Capsule would simply not load it to restore. I left it on overnight to load and it was a no go. I have maybe 5,000 pictures so maybe it just can't handle that much even by ethernet. Unless somebody has a different idea, I think I am going to try a complete restoration of the Mac HD volume. I know it will take forever, but I don't know how else to save the i-Photo collection. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

  • 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.

  • First time network folder access is very very slow...

    Hi,
    On my new Windows 8 box (T500 laptop) I have this annoying problem that first time network folder access is very slow, it can take 30-40 seconds from you click the drive and until it opens. This happens everytime after my laptop has been sleeping and such.
    I can even be connected via MSTSC to that same server - but still explorer first time access is painfully slow. Search index thing? 
    When the drive has been opened the first time I have a blazing fast network access with absolutely no latency at all...
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Please check how it works when connecting to other share folder.
    If the Windows Home Server has a Realtek network adapter, please also refer to the following post:
    Troubleshooting Slow Read/ Transfer Speeds for a Windows Home Server
    http://www.servethehome.com/troubleshooting-slow-read-transfer-speeds-for-a-windows-home-server/
    To monitor the network traffic, please try Network Monitor:

    Thanks. I created 1 mapped folder for a local folder. And 1 mapped folder for my mediacenter (Windows 7). Both of these showed immediately as accessible. But the two mapped folders on my server doesn't. Perhaps this isn't a Windows 8 problem afterall...hm.
    I shall try to replicate the problem from my Windows 7 pc tonight. 
    I installed the network monitor and it shows:
    My Traffic
       System
       Unknown
       Unavailable
    Other Traffic
       Unknown
    Underneath all leafs are a bunch of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes. I guess I should apply a filter where Source or Destination equals my server? And after that - what indicates trouble?

  • Can documents saved on my time capsule be accessed if not connected i.e. I am away from home and want to access documents saved on my time capsule

    Can documents saved on my time capsule be accessed if not connected i.e. I am away from home and want to access documents saved on my time capsule

    Yes, if you setup one of the methods.. see
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
    You must use a Mac for any of those.. if you want to use some other OS tell us. 

  • Can i store my movies on the time capsule and access to watch on my new ipad?

    can I store my movies on the time capsule and access wireless to watch on my new ipad?

    TC is not a media player.. it has no smarts whatsoever.
    If you have an app on the ipad to play files.. then the ipad can play files from anywhere.. even the TC.. but the TC contributes nothing. Do not move your itunes library to the TC.. that is asking for trouble.

  • Time Capsule Remote Access [HELP]

    So like the title says I want to have access to my Time Capsule from anywhere.
    I'd like someone to post a [HowTo] Step by Step.
    I have:
    MB Pro with Lion OSX 10.7.4 (Airport Utility 6.1 and 5.6)
    TC with FW 7.6.1 (Bridge Mode)
    T-Home Speedport W 504V configured as a DSL-Modem
    TC is connected to the Speedport.
    I've read many things but they make everythin more complicate.
    I also tried to activate NAT-PMP with a public IP so that I can Share Disk over WAN, but the program tells me that
    DHCP Staraddress and Endaddress are in conflict with my WAN-IP-Address.
    So at the moment I'm using the Bridge Mode.
    Also iCloud "Back to my Mac" tells me NAT-PMP or UPnP isn't activated on my router.
    So please give me some help with this stuff so I can get access from an extern network.
    And if I try to do it on Airport Utility 6.1 it tells me Double NAT.
    Regards
    Khanh Duy

    I don't have a howto step by step sorry.. I refuse to use OS with as bad a Networking as Lion.. and no interest in clouds..
    You can do this without icloud at all. And it is simple if you have a static public IP address.
    Even without static public IP you might do ok with the modem you have.
    So let me suggest 3 possibles..
    1. If you want to continue down the icloud road.. the issue is upnp .. did you turn on upnp in the modem.. if not do so and try it. TC should be bridged.
    Or if you ISP allows pppoe authentication then bridge the modem and use the pppoe client in the TC.. this is a better method as then the TC gets the public IP on its WAN port. You can select to allow disk access from WAN. Although if this is necessary or not from iCloud I have no idea.
    2. With a static public ip, simply port forward AFP to the TC ip address. I will not post the details unless you do have a static public IP because most people don't. TC is in bridge.
    3. Use dyndns client in the modem.. Here again you will have to check if that facility is in the modem.. again the TC is in bridge.. port forward AFP to the IP of the TC. The router has to control this using a fixed IP to the TC.
    In both the case 2 or 3, you access the TC remotely by simply using its IP address or URL. In finder, go, go to server and type in AFP://PublicIPaddress or AFP://TCdyndnsaddress
    If you just google for "Time Capsule remote access" there are hundreds and thousands of posts explaining how to do it.. but if you cannot figure out method 2 or 3.. I am happy to give further details.

  • Can time capsule be accessed remotely

    Can time capsule be accessed remotely? Via macbook pri on another wifi network

    Just google for this one.. there are loads of video on utube etc..
    The answer is yes.. but it depends as all things do..
    BTMM and iCloud is designed for remote access to TC and Mac.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3486
    The TC has to be the main router in the network..
    The remote network must not block the protocols required for connection..

  • Is it a bad idea to use Time Capsule to access my iTunes music?

    I'm thinking about putting all of my music on my time capsule and making iTunes access it through that.
    Is this a bad idea for any reason? I'm thinking that there could be a few seconds of delay when playing a song or something, which I don't really mind.
    The other thing I thought is that this could be bad because if my Time Capsule fails, then I lose my music, whereas if I store my iTunes music folder on my computer, it will be backed up by Time Machine, and therefore be in 2 safe locations instead of 1.
    Anybody have any thoughts/suggestions?

  • Can't complete the operation can't find the original item mavericks time capsule folder

    Since I updated to mavericks I can't access one of the folders on my time capsule, the one that contains the time machine copy as well as other stuff, all the software that has links to that folder can access it as well as me from the terminal, but everytime that i click on it on the finder, the message "Can't complete the operation because can't find the original item" appears.
    If anybody can help me out i'll be grateful.

    I've found kind of a workaround, I just disconnect from the network and connect again and it'll will recognize the drive 80% of the times, you can also access it from logic or imovie and other apps.
    C'mon apple guys, solve this thing, the new osx has already been out for more than a month and i've found myself copying and movig files from the terminal like we were in the eighties. I barely remember the commands!

  • Time Capsule disk access SLOW!   2TB - Dual band

    I have a Time Capsule (2TB, Dual Band, Firmare at 7.4.2)
    Its been working like a dream, backing up 3 Macs for the last 8 months.
    I also use it for connecting two or three other disks via USB and then making those accessible over the LAN, and there is also about 100GB of data on the Time capsule disk itself that i use as a dump for files so i can get to them from anywhere on my LAN.
    Lately I started to notice EXTREMELY slow disk access, even when i am connected via ethernet (1000 base) - and equally when I am connected via wifi (n)
    for example, copying over a 2Mb photo can take minutes when it should take seconds.
    i've been trying to figure out whats going on here for a while and so i checked out the sizes of the backup files.. the sparseimages that time machine creates.
    one of them was nearly 1TB, while another was around 500GB and the other was around 120GB
    that plus my data meant there was only about 300GB free on the 2TB disk.
    I have a feeling the slowness could be down to extreme fragmentation of the drive... ??
    so i decided to dump the backup files and copy off my other data and do a erase of the disk and start again.. but get this.. i can't even delete the 1TB file ! I have been trying for about 3 days now and it just will not delete.. i get the Deleting msg box and it just sits there, literally ALL night...
    i know it isn't just hanging on the Mac (10.6.4) because deleting the other two images also took a long time (but not this long!)
    i can't just wipe the disk now because i can't get my other data off either.. I have tried copying it over the network and onto a USB disk connected directly to the Time Capsule, but 3 days later and i'm still copying files..
    to put some context into this, I copied over 1.8Gb today and it took about 4 hours...
    has anyone had this problem before?? what on earth is going on?? is it down to fragmentation, or something else?? the TC has been working fine up until a few weeks ago when i started to notice slow speed.
    any ideas ?
    thanks
    Adam

    if anyone ever has this issue ....
    it must have been EXTREME fragmentation. I bought another 2TB external disk, connected it to the TC, did a complete archive, which took around 24 hours... then i wiped the TC and put stuff back... it now works fine again...

  • Is there a way to prevent time capsule from accessing ****?

    Just wondering if there is any way to block access to certain sites or all sites accessed through Time Capsule.

    Sorry, but no.
    You might want to take a look at OpenDNS for something like that.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro, it has a small hard drive, can I plug an extra Hard Drive into my time capsule and access from my Macbook?

    I have saved my itunes Library to an exteranal drive, can I plug that drive into my Time Capsule and tell my itunes to access the music from there?

    Yes, but it's probably better to keep it connected directly to the computer.

  • Time Capsule FTP access

    I just bought and setup a 1TB Time Capsule that is working perfectly in my house. I am trying to find out how I can access the drive on the TC from a windows machine on the internet. I've setup file sharing and can see the drive from my MBPro using connect to server, but can't seem to get to it from a windows machine either through FTP or windows file sharing.
    Has anyone tried this and / or have suggestions?

    Ok, here is the response, did not work for me, can any of you others try and let me know:
    I have gotten a response back from engineering. Part of it quoted as below:
    "From an outside the local network computer you should then be able to access the drive by connecting to the server (= TC) from a Mac with Finder > Go > Connect to server...afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ <afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/> <TC name>/
    From an outside the local network computer you should then be able to access the drive by connecting to the server (= TC) from a Windows Machine by typing the following into a browser... smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ <smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/> <TC name>/
    - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the real world IP the TC gets assigned form the ISP (this may change if the ISP changes the IP addresses frequently. The customer will need to consult the ISP for that)
    - <TC name> is the name if the TC the customer has set in Airport Utility > Manual Mode > Airport > Time Capsule > Time Capsule Name
    Note: TC does SMB and AFP at the same time automatically
    Make sure the ISP allows traffic on port 548, that is the one used for file sharing to access the disk fro local and wide area networks.

  • Remounting an old time Capsule and accessing prior  backups

    I was using a Time Capsule but it filled up.  I decided to move my Time Machine to an external hard drive and keep the Time Capsul as an archive.
    Now I would like to retreive a file frorm the archive. However when I redirect Time Machine to the old Time Capsule if is creating new backups but is not seeing the old ones.  The disk is still full so I believe that they are still theere.
    Question - how do I get Time Machine to let me access the old backups?

    Try a right-click on the Time Machine icon on the dock, and then click Browse Other Time Machine Disks to see if  your backups are there.
    To return to your current backup set, click the Time Machine clock icon at the top of the computer screen. Click Time Machine Preferences and then click Select Disk to highlght your Time Capsule drive and then click Use for Backup. This will get your regular backups going again.
