Time Capsule MacBook Air Apple TV?

Am I able to play a video placed on a time capsule v4 through wifi to my MacBook Air with plex and then to ATV with mirroring without getting it mega laggy?? Or should I wait for a time capsule v5??

There are ways besides Back to Mac. I am even having trouble with Back to Mac. But, [here is one approach|http://lifehacker.com/365673/get-back-to-your-mac-without-paying-for-i t].
There is not much to the setting that should get your Macs communicating, but note that many are having problems under Sno with fundamental OS function. On each Mac, just go System Preferences > Sharing > Check mark File Sharing > Go Options > Check mark the AFP blurb. And, on each Mac, at System Preferences > Sharing > Select the folders to be shared; the users who may share; and their permissions.
At the start connect to another Mac using Go > Connect to Server--afp://IpAddress. Post back with any problems. Expect some--hopefully only easy ones to fix.

Time Capsule, MacBook Air, Airport Express, and my stereo: where the twain shall meet?

The MBA is wonderful, but, as we all know, not very capacious. My compromise is to store my iTunes media folder on an external hard drive, meaning that I can't play music unless the external is plugged in. When I want to play music on my stereo, I plug the stereo into my MBA, which is itself plugged into the external. Not very elegant!
I've thought of a potential solution, but not sure whether it's feasible.
Would I be able to use the Time Capsule as an external HDD—leave all my whole iTunes library on there and stream it wirelessly to my MBA without incident?
If so, could I then "re-stream" the music to an Airport Express, which would be plugged into the stereo?
I actually have the Express already, but it's plugged into the modem, which is not in the same room as the stereo. So, in theory, all I'd have to do is buy a Time Capsule, transfer my music to it, point iTunes to the new media library, plug the TC into my modem, set the Express to extend the TC's network, plug the TC into my stereo, and. . . voila, I can bring my MBA anywhere and still play any of my music through my stereo. And I'd also have a nifty 2 TB wireless external, certain to last me a very long time.
That's the theory anyway! Would it actually work? Is there a better solution? Thanks!

Yes you could use your TC HD for doing this however if you are already using the drive as a backup for Time Machine then doing so would be pretty foolish. All HD's eventually fail, so if you store any data on the TC's HD and also using it for Time Machine and the drive crashes then you will have lost not only your data but it's backup which totally defeats the idea of backing up. IMHO store your music (photo & movie) libraries on another physical EHD and yes a wireless one would be fine.

How do you extend the guest network on a time capsule to an apple express?

I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

Sorry, but Apple does not allow the Guest Network to be extended in any way.

When I got my new macbook air, apple downloaded my photos on my new laptop from my old laptop, but now i have duplicates photos because when I started icloud, I got duplicates. How can I delete duplicate photos?

HI ..
On the new MBAir, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it then restart your Mac.

I get an error mess when trying to complete backup "The backup disk image "/Volumes Time Capsul MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

When trying to use my time machine got an error message "Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/ Time Capsul/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Any ideas?

I have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

I want to get comcast i want to use either my time capsule or air port as the gateway can i do that

I'm thinking about getting comcast internet but I don't want to buy their modem can I use either my time capsule or air port as the gateway

You can use a Time Capsule or any other AirPort Base Station for your wireless router, but you still need a modem.

Macbook Air (Apple MacBook Air MD760HNA )

Hello!
My Name is Neeraj. I am a Multimedia specialist.
My Most Important question is. can I Run All Multimedia Softwares on
"Apple MacBook Air MD760HNA"
like. 3d, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and complete adobe suite.
Is there any problem with multimedia softwares if i buy "Apple MacBook Air MD760HNA" .
I visit at apple store and excutives suggest me to go with Macbook pro for Multimedia Softwares.
But my Budget is not for macbook pro. I can buy Macbook air Apple MacBook Air MD760HNA"
As I found the difference between air and pro is only about Graphics and clock speed.
I would like to know can I Run all my multimedia softwares on MacBook Air MD760HNA" successfully?
I would like to here an Expert advice because i am to buy within 2 days.
Many Thanks in Advance

I run Adobe CS5 on my 2011 MBA with no difficulties and the 2013 models are significantly faster with improved Intel integrated graphics so your experience would be better. If your budget alllowed it, a computer with a faster processor and integrated graphics would improve your experience with 3D graphics (compositing would be faster) and with graphics post processing. But the MBA can do it.
I'd strongly recommend you upgrade it to 8GB and at least get the 256GB SSD. If you do any extensive video editing the drive will get full quickly so you'll also want a fast external drive to move data on and off the computer. Also a 13" is rather cramped to having a larger external display would be a plus.

Just bought Time capsule 2tb from apple No Airport CD in the package

I just bought the time capsule from an Apple store, The setup manual called about a Airport CD which was not in the package, I have setup my wifi at home, however I have to setup a Windows Vista (already joined the time capsule) for printing, The manual stated using the Airport CD to installl Bonjour for windows.
Should i have a cd with the purchase?
with my dlink router (which i just replaced with Time capsule) i was able to set time restrictions for all computers on the wi-fi , when to access the web. mac address restrictions, I do not appear to have that capability with the time capsule. is this correct? I configured the time capsule via the airport utility on my mac, no additional cd. by not having the cd am i missing additional confguration parameters that I can tweak?

by not having the cd am i missing additional confguration parameters that I can tweak?
No, assuming that you have the most recent version of AirPort Utility, which is 5.5.3. You can open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Utility menu next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
Click Check for Updates.
Using the Timed Access feature on the Time Capsule, you can set up individual restrictions for devices that are allowed to connect to the wireless.
Bonjour for Windows is here:

Time capsule for 5 apple tv to play 5 tv at once?

I have an office with 5 smart tv and I need to play some videos all day long (HD videos very heavy) in the five tv, If I buy a time capsule and 5 apple tv can I play all 5 tv at once? Any other solution?
Thanks

Does each TV run a different program or are they all the same?
Are the TV close to each other if you are running the same material in each one.. you can usually interlink the TVs. Or there are special devices used by every TV retailer in the world to link multiple TV to a single program source.
If you have 5 TV and need to be able to run 5 different programs with HD, yes that is possible as long as you use ethernet all the way.. wireless is not going to work.
The program material cannot be stored on the TC.. it is not a media player. Nor a media storage device, nor anything at all but a dumb hard disk in a router.
If you already have a router in the network all you need to connect the Apple TV to the computer that must be running iTunes.. is a switch. Gigabit of course.
I wish you luck on this.. the demands of multiple independent streaming is very high.

1 Imac, 1 Macbook, 2 ipads, 2 iphones, 1 time capsule, 3 air ports

Question.
Time capsule direct to the ISP
Three Airport expresses extending, worked perfect.(one printer on a AE, One windows pc on AE)
1 apple tv direct with network cable
Since I have the imac, the wireless on one of the AE is not connecting.
Even the Imac does not get a connection, sometimes it does but it keeps dropping.
I know not all the equipment is using the wireless at ones, but is seems to be that I am short of IP addresses.
Reset of TC and all the AE have been done.
Renamed all
Bought a network cable for the Imac as well but it is still the same, AE outside does not want to connect.
This means, DAUGHTER, does not have internet, that means. I DON'T have internet, she NEEDS "it" FB, Skype etc etc !!!!!!!!!!.
When daughter says something the whole family needs to know.
PS Settings from the AR and TC standard, WPA2, 18 mb etc
Personal idear is that I need to change something with the settings from the TC.
Somebody who can help?

How can u format the hard drive since I am using the MBA. Formatting will delete also the recovery space and how to start with new installation? This is not going to work.
No, that's not true. This is one of the 'benefits' of Lion (if you want to see it that way). The OS is on a separate partition and you can reinstall the OS without another physical drive.
What you do is reboot the computer while holding down the 'option' key. From the list of disks that show up (you can release the 'option' key now), choose 'Recovery HD'.
When you get to what looks like a Desktop, choose 'Reinstall OS X Lion'. Shortly after this, you will get asked for your Apple ID. Put your own Apple ID in the box and everything should proceed smoothly from there.

Is my time capsule covered by apple care?

I purchased a Time Capsule last October on the same day that I bought a MacBook Air. I bought the Apple Care for the MacBook Air that day also and I was wondering if that Apple Care also covers my Time Capsule. I vaguely recall reading somewhere online that it does but I can't find anymore information about it. I am concerned because in my apple support profile it says that my coverage for the MacBook Air is good until 2014 , BUT it says it's only until Oct. 5 (2012) for the Time Capsule!!! If it's not covered by my MacBook's Apple Care, can I buy Apple Care for the Time Capsule before Oct. 5? I've never heard of that but I don't really understand how it all works. Anyone know?
Also, what kind of proof do I need for any of this to make sure I'm covered? I was never given an Apple Care package (you know the little box) at the Apple Store. The salesman just said they enrolled me and don't worry about it.

Apple care covers the TC.. you will need to show a purchase receipt for the time of purchase but it is covered. The applecare is on the computer.. you cannot buy separate cover for TC.. but if it breaks the TC is a peripheral covered by the warranty.
As for not having the paperwork.. if the receipt shows you purchased applecare and the number was recorded to the serial number of the Air.. which it does, since when you check the cover is until Oct 2014.. you should be fine.

Attn: ALL APPLE PORTABLE OWNERS -Macbook Pro, MacBook Air Apple portable slowdown / kernel high CPU solution

Attn: ALL APPLE PORTABLE OWNERS -MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini slowdown kernel / high CPU use problem and solution.
YOU COULD FRY YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU DO NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM SO PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE!
YOUR MAC WILL THANK YOU
Hey all.
Like many of you I've got a newer Apple portable which slows down to an unusable level for an unknown reason. In my case a 13" mid 2009 Intel MacBook Pro Core 2 duo laptop. After many failed attempts to figure out what this nutty problem is I have discovered the problem, the solution and I have solved this for my own MacBook Pro. Since this fix it has been working immediately and consistently -without issue
I am sharing this with you in hopes that you to can fix your Apple portable yourself or so you know what to tell the Apple techs so they can quickly fix your Mac from this wacky and unfortunate kernel CPU hogging problem.
User Software Symptoms :
Your Apple portable computer periodically for an unknown reason slows down making everything frustratingly slow. This happens even when running previous apps that were never a problem; things that your Mac should be able to handle easily but for some reason now it can't.
Slowdown most often happens during high CPU use such as gaming, video playback/editing, etc. or when running multiple apps (even non CPU intensive apps) at the same time.
Possible Hardware Symptoms:
Your computer is making more noise than it did previously.
Your computer occasionally makes more noise but then gets quieter.
Your computer is always extremely quiet (too quiet) even during high CPU apps -worst case scenario.
It feels hotter than it normally does. Test: After several minutes of the slowness/high kernel CPU touch the computer to feel if it's hotter than normal.
Looking at Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder) shows the kernel_task is going bonkers eating up CPU but you have no idea why.
After trying many different things to solve this problem such as :
PR ram reset, SMC reset, fresh OS install of 10.5 and 10.6 on external hard-drives, calling and speaking to various Apple tech people who had no ideas/solutions, etc. I had no luck.
Btw, if you're having the symptoms I've decscribed above I would not run the Apple Hardware check (read below as to why). You could fry your Mac!
After much testing I found the problem :
It is my belief that "recent" Apple portable computers are using low quality internal fans which soon stop working!
Fail time period seems to be about 1.0 years to 2.5 years of use but this fail rate could vary depending on use.
First noticeable symptoms (depending on what you notice) could be computer slowdown or your fan is making more noise than it normally does. This is your fan's lubrication slowly eroding making your fan spin slower and less smooth resulting in the louder noise and slower rpm spin speed. The slower fan spin speed means less cooling is happening for your computer. The effect on your computer is that the CPU and other chips are heating up! Overheating to be more specific. When your computer's chips overheat they get wonky and screw things up. Most often this seems to have the effect of making the kernel hog CPU resulting in a frustratingly slow user experience! Heat kills computer chips and it is extremely bad for them. Extreme overheat or repeated overheating has been said to shorten the life of computer chips or in extreme cases even fry them completely!
The longer this goes on without being fixed your fan loses more lubrication and spins slower and slower cooling lesser and lesser resulting in your CPU heating up more and more possibly shortening the life of your Mac! Eventually your fan will stop completely and you could fry your chips! My fan stopped completely and my MBP was running very quietly, too quietly. Luckily I did not fry my chips because I was avoiding using high CPU apps because I knew something was wrong due to the massive slow down and wonkiness when I'd run them.
Side Note:I'm a bit concerned about all those Mac mini servers which may be using the same defective low quality fans which cannot be easily serviced by their owners as they are co-located in some server facility. One positive thing is those facilities are usually well airconditioned keeping temps low.
I suggest you do not run the Apple hardware test if you suspect your computer is overheating because the hardware test can seriously heat up your Mac! I tried running this test and my Mac got so hot I had to shut it down forcefully and I was concerned I damaged the chips. If you want to run the Apple hardware check make sure your CPU temperature is ok and that your fan works well before you run the test.
IF YOU DON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM YOU COULD FRY YOUR COMPUTER DUE TO HEAT DAMAGE!
DO NOT IGNORE THIS PROBLEM YOUR MACS LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT!
First you need to properly diagnose this problem and see if your CPU is getting to hot and you need to see if your fans are spinning at high rpms giving proper cooling, or if they are spinning at low rpms when running high intensive apps as your CPU temp increases.
TEST IF YOUR FAN(s) IS WORKING CORRECTLY :
Unfortunately Apple does not include CPU temperature reading software nor fan rpm speed software that I am aware of.
However, There are two free ways that I know of to check your CPU tempurature and your fan speed :
One app shows fan speed, and CPU heat, etc.
One app shows fan speed, CPU heat and allows you to adjust your fan speed settings.
One app is a dashboard widget, the other is a system preference.
I suggest you download both of these to check your computer statistics.
http://www.eidac.de/?p=134
http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
http://fan-control.en.softonic.com/mac
I am not exactly sure what proper CPU temperatures are for the different Apple computers and this will change given different CPU loads.
My MBP doesn't seem to function properly with anything around 90 degrees or higher (celcius).
It seems when the fan is operating normally the CPU temp should not stay above 78 degrees even under heavy load, at least with the apps I'm running in the room temperature I'm in.
I can post back later with more specific temps under longer load, etc. but I wanted to get this post up for people to read as soon as possible so they don't fry their Macs.
If a bad fan is your problem :
THERE ARE ONLY TWO SOLUTIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM :
Fix or replace your fan so it cools the CPU and other chips properly.
I fixed my fan myself and I didn't need to buy a new one. Total cost was about $8.00 because I had to buy a #00 sized screwdriver and had it shipped to me. Price includes shipping.
On my mid 2009 model MacBook Pro fixing the fan was incredibly easy :
Before I started doing this I wasn't 100% this was the problem so I decided to try to fix my fan instead of ordering a new one and replacing it. As it turns out I didn't need a new fan, I only needed to clean the existing fan and relube it's axl so it could spin easier like when it was new. It also didn't make sense to buy a brand new fan from an Apple authorized parts reseller selling me the same low quality fan for $49.00 which would probably fail in 2 years again. Prices for new comparable fans from different manufactures range from about $15.00 USD + shipping to around $49.00 USD + shipping depending on where you order them from and what brand you get.
How to fix / replace your internal fan on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro :
Please note : I am not a hardware technician, nor expert. If you decide to fix your Mac yourself you do so at your own risk through no fault of my own. Prior to opening up your Mac you should google around and learn how to do it correctly and safely so you won't damage your Mac. For example, it is possible for you to damage your Mac by static electricity from your body. To avoid this I believe proper procedure is that you wear a 'ground strap' (around your wrist) which you clip to your Mac's metal body so your body will not excude a charge into your Mac. I believe the idea here is to keep your body's charge level and your Mac's similar. Since I do not have a ground strap and fixing/replacing the fan doesn't require touching any chips I did not wear a ground strap during my fan fix. What I did was periodically repeatedly touch the metal case of my MBP hoping that would be enough and it was. Avoid unecessary actions that can build up a static charge in you. Once I started the repair I did not walk around the room building up an electrical charge in my body. Walking on carpet can often build up a large charge in us so it is better to be avoided while working on your Mac. Certain clothing can build up static charges. Combing hair, etc. If you need to get up from your repair when you come back make sure you first touch the Mac's metal case and not anything inside.
Now that we're done with the scary paranoia, below you will find some instructions on how I fixed my MBP's internal fan
Before you begin:
Check out someone's video (not mine) on how to remove / replace the fan (but not take it apart and repair it):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AghE9newvbs
Check out someone's web page (not mine) on how to replace the fan in a mid 2009 MacBook Pro:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2009-Fan/ 1338/1
How to repair your mid 2009 MacBook Pro fan:
Make sure you are in a 'secure' environment. No pets, no kids running around, no drinks near the Mac, etc.
Make sure your computer is unplugged from it's power supply and turned off. NOT slept. Totally off / powered down.
1. Get a size #00 phillips screwdriver (Hobby store, Radioshack, Amazon).
2. Open up your MBP by unscrewing the bottom (yes flip it over so it's resting upsidedown). Note where each screw goes because some are different lengths. I placed each one around my MBP where they go, insuring I know their order (don't jumble them up). Note which direction your MBP is facing when it's upside down so if you spin it around while working on it you still know where the screws go.
2b. Some recommend removing the MBP's battery but I didn't do this step. You probably should, just to be safe. Follow the online instructions from the web page I listed about disconnecting the battery.
3. Unscrew the fan's 3 holding screws.
4. Unplug the fan's electrical connection (lift it straight up off the board). If you need to you can try to pry it up while you lift with a non metal/non electrical conductive object like a spudger if you have one or -perhaps a pen cap. Before you remove it, look closely at how it's attached so when you put it back on you won't wonder if you're doing it correctly. There's only one way it can go because it cannot fit 'the wrong way' but looking at it closely will make you feel more confident popping it back on when the time comes.
5. Remove the fan - it easily lifts out.
6. Take the fan apart by unscrewing it's one screw then unlatching the plastic clips which hold it together.
7. Seperate the fan blades from the housing. Lift the fan blades off of the fan housing by pulling it straight out away from the housing.
8. Clean off the dust that's gathered. A can of compressed air helps here (I didn't have one). I used a little brush from my electric shaver kit which worked well. Once you've removed all the dust from the fan and surrounding areas proceed to the next step.
9. Reapply new lubrication. You need less than 1 drop. Be sure it covers the entire fan blade axl as this is what needs to be well lubricated. Make sure there isn't excess oil that will fly around when the axl/fan spins at high rpms. I used the only oil I had which was olive oil (for cooking!) but I do not suggest this. At the time I was doing this I didn't know my fan was the problem so I wasn't even sure I was going to relube it. You should probably use something more appropriate perhaps like 3 in 1 oil. A good idea would be to call the manufatures of these little fans and ask them. Maybe a hobby store knows of good lubricants for these purposes?
DO NOT use things like WD 40 as it's not a long term lubricant or so I've read.
10. Once your fan is now clean and oiled (make sure there isn't too much oil) reassmble the fan.
Push the fan blades/axl back into the housing shaft. Give it a few spins with your finger.
Screw together the fan housing then reclip the clips.
11. Place the now reassembled fan back into your Mac and screw it in place (3 screws).
12. Reattach the fan's electrical wiring by gently pushing it into place. Make sure you've got the right end facing down before you push it in place.
13. Once your Mac's internals are clean and reassembled, place the rear cover back on your Mac and screw it in place.
14. Double check you didn't forget anything like screws, tools, etc.
15. Boot up your Mac and monitor the temperature and fan speed using those programs.
Compare the previous temps/fan speed to the current temp/fan speed.
Run a high CPU intensive app where your computer has been slowing down.
You should now have a happy Mac
If you have this problem and this solution fixed it for you please post in this thread letting me and everyone else know!
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

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, Airtunes, and Apple TV - can it be done?

Hi,
Long-time lurker, second-time poster!
Here's my situation:
I have a huge amount of music (all Apple Lossless, so it takes up loads of space) spread over a MacBook Pro and a Windows laptop.
I'd like to move everything to a Time Capsule acting as a network drive (so it's all in one place and to free up HD space on my laptops), then put the Time Capsule through my AirPort Express into my music system. From what I've read, this seems to be possible, but still means having to have a laptop switched on to navigate my library in iTunes.
Is there some way to use the Time Capsule/Airtunes solution with Apple TV, so I can browse my music collection on the telly and then play it through my stereo, without needing to use a laptop?
I don't use iTunes for video - only music - so hopefully that will make things simpler....
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Imagine the combined unit with synchronised audio/video streaming to an external sound system - even the wireless iPod touch could join the party with Apple TV as the central digital hub. A product like this would be as big a revolution as the iPod itself! Price tag, i'd pay up to £500 for such a device - what do you reckon?
At home I'm using an Epson HD projector instead of a Hi-Def TV. All that's missing is wireless, synchronised audio (to the AEX which connects by optical cable to my Apple Hi-Fi, remember those?). The TV here is my old G4 iMac and EyeTV. Elgato disappoints though, they still haven't enabled MPEG-4 HD as we're using in Europe and elsewhere. I just love the swivel screens of the old iMacs, so convenient. Unfortunately I have way too much digital material to fit on an Apple TV so I'm not buying one until the hard disk space increases, then I'll shift all the content from the G5 onto AppleTV and couple it with a 1TB Time Capsule. That's the plan at least
