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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I see my network drive from time capsule on windows vista pc?

    I connected my Time Capsule 2tb to Windows PC and do not see the Network Drive for TC. I can see TC on my wireless MacProBook, but cannot see TC drive on the pc. What can I do on the PC to find Time Capsule's drive?
    Thank you.

    From the Mac as it is easier to use.. open airport utilty and go to the  disks, file sharing page. turn on the guest account.. give read write  access.. and make sure the TC is in the correct workgroup or type in the  work group name.. update the TC.
    In vista.. Open windows explorer.. in the address bar type \\ip\
    IP meaning the IP of the TC. . wait.. waiting wait.. windows scratches its bum.. thinks some more.. will finally kick up a username and password request.. type in whatever you need. Voila.. TC appears.

  • Can't connect to Time Capsule from Windows

    I have a time capsule that I have set up at work which works great with my laptop (MacBook Pro) at work. However, when I try to map the Time Capsule from home (Windows 7, not the same subnet), I cannot do so.
    I have been able to ping it, as well as access the Time Capsule configuration page through the AirPort Utility that I have installed on my Windows machine at home (I do so by going to File...>Configure Other... and then log on). So I can communicate with it but I can't map it using the Windows "Map Network Drive" command.
    Any thoughts?

    I figured it out. I had to change the Time Capsule to only allow File Sharing with Accounts. Then, using the "Map Network Drive" and \\ipaddressaccountname and - viola!

  • Time Capsule and Windows 7 clear approach

    Hello all,
    I tried now for one month to install the Time Capsule (with Airport and Bonjour software) with Windows 7 WIRED.
    First I had to turn on the Net-Bios, which is difficult to find. I did.
    The Time Capsule was visible in the Windows File system, now it is gone. The green button is burning. It's 4th generation.
    The help-desk of Apple Holland can not help me and they say that it will not work with Windows because the Windows file system is different than the Mac system. Then they say that I have to make the same IP adres on the Time Capsule and the Windows file system, which is impossible as they said also.
    I bought the Macbook Air. I want to put all my files from the Windows PC to the Time Capsule in order, after that,  to reach the MacBook Air with the Time Capsule. The shop told me that this is possible. I tried some advises from the web, but seems to be difficult for me. The help-desK isn't able to help me anymore.
    Please who can help with a clear step-by-step approch?

    doesnt work for me, its a real dealbreaker.
    I've tried manually adding and editing the lmcompatability registry key, mapping via explorer, mapping via net use, browsing via unc, tried with airport config software and without, mapped via IP and mapped via hostname.
    The thing is just flakey and doesnt work.
    I've tried firmware 7.4, 7.41 and 7.42. As you say, 7.3 is no-go with a dualband.
    The problem for me isn't mapping the drive, but using it once it's mapped. files and folders fail to copy, stuff doesn't always delete, drive sometimes becomes unavailable. The TC is solid otherwise.
    There has to be another registry setting to change somewhere though hopefully. Either that or they've tightened the security within win7 to the point of no return for some legacy stuff.

  • Time Capsule and windows 7

    Just installed a new time capsule. I have a MacBook and my wife has a pc. I am able to get on fine. I downloaded airport utility for windows 7 from Apple support for her, but when I open network preferences I can only get on the guest site from the pc. Question: I named the time capsule network the same as I had on our old wireless network. When I open network preference in the pc it shows the name of that network, but says the settings have changed and can't log on. If I change the name of the network would that make the difference?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Login using airport utility.. manual setup.. go to airport.. wireless tab.. change the names.. update.
    There is no need to reset at all.. do it from the Mac. But use 5.6 utility if you are using Lion.
    It can also help btw to lock the channels and make 5ghz a different name to 2.4ghz.

  • Time Capsule With Windows 7 Please Help Going Round in Circles!

    Hi
    have just got a 1Tb time capsule for Xmas. I have a 13" Macbook unibody and have installed the time machine and airport utility through this, thinking apple computer + apple time capsule will be easier. All went well and the Macbook sees the Drive and has backed itself up nicely. So very pleased.
    Then the problem i have a windows 7 machine and went off and installed the airport utility on the machine. All went fine, but i cant see the HDD, i can see it in network places but all i can do is read it, i can't write to it from my windows machine. Have looked at loads of posts about mapping drives making sure latest firmware (7.5) etc but am totally lost as i read so many different things that i just ended up going round in circles!
    What i wanted to do was put all my media, documents and pics on the TC and allow both machines to share from it and use it. But no matter what i try it seems i can only write to it from the mac. I have seen in the airport utility on the windows machine under disks (after selecting manual setup)> file sharing that the secure shared disks is set to "with device password", now i have the passwords, i just cant seem to see where i can see that drive in windows and where to enter the password!!! Should that be set to something else? File sharing is enabled.I assumed once i had installed the airport utility on the windows machine the HDD would just pop up in my computer or something like it popped up easily on the mac! Or am i being stupid and it doesnt work like that?
    The windows machine is connected via ethernet and the mac is wireless.
    Please can someone help as its driving me mad and i just cant seem to figure it out. Am not that computer savvy when it comes to things like this and am probably missing something really stupid but you know what its like when you have stared at something for hours. Any help would be most appreciated or SIMPLE guide or something
    Many thanks in advance and happy Xmas to you all

    Just an update to the above i can now no longer see the time capsule in network places!! All i have done is retstarted!!! I can still see the time capsule from my mac and access it!!!

  • Time Capsule and Windows 7 Back Up and Restore

    Hello,
    I would like to know i can manage to save my backup of windows 7 on the Time Capsule using the back and restore tools ?
    I am using on my time capsule the file sharing with the disk password, but it doesnt seems to work.
    Can u please help ?
    Thx !

    Open the guest access and give read and write permissions.
    Also make sure you actually give the WORKGROUP name in the WORKGROUP area, correct to the win7 workgroup..
    If you still cannot access the TC try turning off the firewall in win7.. you may also need to ensure that win7 is recognised as in home, ie local network, not work or public.
    Open a command window and ping the TC to make sure you have network access.
    In windows explorer type \\ipaddressofTC\ into the address bar.. that being its IP address. You can also try netbios name.
    If none of that works post again but it should.. on latest firmware on the TC??
    You need to use windows backup which is near useless.. I recommend you download a utility that can do a proper disk image.. there are plenty around.

  • Time Capsule on Windows?

    Hello, Recently I got ahold of a time capsule my dad wasn't using anymore, so I decided to use that as an external harddrive since Im running out of space.  I connected it to my computer directly via an ethernet cable(with a ethernet to usb adapter), and the airport utility recognizes it just fine and I can change settings in there.  However, no matter what I do, it seems like I cant access it at all with internet explorer or windows explorer .  It also refused to automatically map to a Z drive.  I have done a full factory reset but the problem still persists.  I see in my network it is listed as a Network infrastructure as well so i cannot manually map it.

    Make sure file sharing is turned on and give the TC full access to the guest account. ie read and write
    Make sure the WORKGROUP is set correctly.
    This is Mac version but is basically the same as the windows version.
    Then in Windows Explorer type in the IP of the TC...
    \\10.0.1.1 or whatever it is.
    If it does ask you for username and password.. admin and public will do nicely.
    No luck the windows computer is blocking the access. Ensure no firewall is blocking by turning them all off.. and ensure the computer is set to home location, not work or public.
    No luck.. get rid of the USB and plug it in properly by ethernet.
    USB to ethernet adapters are bad.
