Time capsule - is it possible to use to wireless backup of my ipad and iphone
I'm looking for a backup solution enabling me to see information like dropbox and thereby being able to move the relevant folder, files etce to another Device being connecte
iOS devices typically are backed up by iTunes. The iTunes backups themselves can be backed up by Time Machine.

my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?
This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get. -
Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone on my computer? Will the computer erase my other device information?
The computer will not erase the information. Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

It is possible to sinc the photo's location on iPad and iPhone ?
It is possible to sinc the photo's location on iPad and iPhone ?
If the location info is captured with the photo, the location info is included with the photo's EXIF data which should not be removed from a photo that includes it when importing the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer or when the photos are included with the Photo Stream.

Backup/restore my iPad and iPhone using Time Capsule?
Hi,
I'm considering to get the Time Capsule but I don't know if it is possible to backup my iPad and iPhone in the Wireless hard drive.If anybody has tried that it would be great if you can share how to do it.
Thanks!iPad and iPhone back up to iTunes on your computer....or....to iCloud.
If you back up to iTunes, when your Mac backs up to the Time Capsule, the data in iTunes is included.
More info on iOS backups is in this Apple support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If your question is whether an iOS device can backup directly to the Time Capsule, the answer would be no. -
Icloud photos use different amount of memory on ipad and iphone. Anyone know why?
i Recently set up photos library on icloud. I have the same number of pictures on both my ipad and iphone, yet the memory usage is nearly double on the iphone. i can't think of a reason for this. Does anyone have an explanation?
So does that mean, that if I have more available memory on one of the devices, then the pictures will be stored at a higher resolution?
I have both devices set to optimise the pictures, There are the same number of pictures on each device, yet on the iPad they use 150mb but on the iphone they use 300mb
There is a little more space available on the iPhone, so maybe the resolution they are stored at, is varied according to space? -

Is it possible to have a virus on both the ipad and iphone
My husband and I have two ipads, two iphone 5s and two windows based computers @ home.
My own computer, ipad & iphone all stopped connecting to the internet this weekend. My husbands are all fine. I used my iphone, ipad and computer to respond to people inquiring about my Craigslist ads I posted earlier in the weekend. I'm wondering if one of the emails had something malicious in it that is causing some denial of access to the internet? I didn't make any changes to the ipad or iphone this weekend.
ThanksThere are no viruses effecting these devices, unless you jailbroke them.

Using Seagate Wireless hard drive with iPad or iPhone iOS 8 doesn't work
We purchased a Seagate wireless hard drive a little less than a year ago to store all of our movies that we buy on iTunes since the iPad storage capacity is not very large. For the past year the drive worked great esp when traveling. However, on our most recent trip it stopped working. When I click on the movie I get an error message. When I contacted Seagate they said it had to do with Apple's new DRM rules. I purchase the digital movies to be able to watch anywhere, but now I can't. Why is Apple making it harder for people to enjoy the media they purchase? This is ridiculous. Does anyone know of a workaround? I have tried third party apps but they don't work well either.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth
Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
Thank you,
CarlHey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device." -
Hi.. I'm new to mac, I've got a mac book air and time capsule is it possible to save music,video from iTunes Store directly to time capsule leaving my 128GB Mac free? If so please help..
You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
Read pondini for some work arounds.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html -
I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it. -
How to share 1 time capsule to 2 macbooks air, using Time Machine?
How to share 1 time capsule to 2 macbooks air, using time machine??
You don't need to do anything.. both computers can use the TC and will create separate backups. It is simply designed to work with Time Machine.

I am using a macbook pro with system 10.6.8. I just discovered that no recent files have been backed up to the external disk using Time Capsule. There is a long list of backups including most recent but no recent files, for some weeks, have been backed up. I did a full reset of Time Machine. I disconnected the external drive and reconnected it. It is not a matter of file types, no files and no folders have gotten backed up. Everything looks normal though unless one goes hunting for recent files on the back up.
Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
