Time Capsule on Windows Vista

How do I get Time Capsule to work on my vista computer? My vista partition on my iMac is not working with time capsule it can not even find it when it scans for it . Please help

No problem seeing Time Capsule with iMac, Dell desktop XP Home, Dell notebook XP Pro, and Fusion with XP Pro. All installed according to the installation guide. Installed AirPort Utility on all machines and updated firmware to 7.3.1. To see the other machines, make sure file sharing is on. Firewall on the PCs may need to be turned off. The printer plugged into the USB port also worked with all the XP systems and the iMac with a few missing features on iMac (I am assuming different driver issues). BTW, logging onto the created network and accessing the Time Capsule HD are separate. If you've entered different passwords for the HD and wireless networking when setting up Time Capsule initially (which I did through the iMac first), you'll need to enter them separately with the XP machines. You could also try resetting Time Capsule. Seems to work for others.

Problems accessing Time Capsule on windows Vista

I have an iMac running Leopard and a laptop running Vista Home Edition. I'm having some problems accessing Time Capsule from the Vista machine. everytime I click to access the drive, a message appears in the menu bar of the window that says (not responding). I've tried leaving it. I've even changed my entire wireless network to bypass the original g router (belkin) to use TC, so I now have TC as my router, Belkin just setup as a wired broadband modem but I still get the same problem. The mac seems fine, although I have had quite a few issues with drop outs.
both machines have the latest version of Airport Utility and Bonjour.
The laptop is a recent purchase to replace a dead XP machine, this worked fine and I managed to get stuff backed up just before it died, thankgod.
Any help appreciated.

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.

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.

Time Capsule and Windows Vista network

Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice/feedback.
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and love it. Now considering buying a Time Capsule - 3 reasons - extra storage space, allow printing from all computers, and ease of backup with Time Machine.
I currently have a DLink wireless modem/router that is wired to a Windows Vista PC, a windows laptop and the new Mac.
My question is: How will the Time Capsule fit in with everything? I am guessing that the DLink will remain wired to the PC, and the Time Capsule will be plugged into the DLink. Will I gain extra speed with the Time Capsule and how do I allow it to take over the wireless network?
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
"When I try
to connect it sees the new network I set up,
but won't connect to the internet."
Are you saying that the Vista PC will connect to the wireless network, but can't get an internet connection, or it can see the wireless network, but can't connect?
If it cannot connect to the wireless network, is there an error message displayed? If so, what does the message say?

Time Capsule in windows vista.

I have Time Capsule 1 TB. Can i use it in windows vista like time machine?

You can get more info on your Time Capsule at http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/specs.html
The specs indicate that you cannot use it to b/u other than on a Mac using Time Machine which is written for Mac.

Time Capsule and Windows Vista

Hi there i have a Macbook Pro and my flat mate has windows vista on his note book.
So i am thinking of getting Time capsule 500gb to back up my Mac pro and use it for the internet (going to replace my old wireless modem with time capsule) and my flat mate just wants to connect to the internet thats all no backing up files or anything like that.
Will it be easy to set up his vista to connect to the internet? does he need apple software or anything like that?
And will he get the same internet speeds as before?
Sorry i am new to Time Capsule don't know much about it just don't want to wast money
Thanks for your help

Yes, it should all work fine and connecting to the Time Capsule will be just like connecting to any other wireless router. There is no additional applications needed.

How do I restore a backup from Time Capsule on Windows Vista?

I have had to restore My Windows Vista PC to original and need to also restore by backup that was made to time Capsule. I can see the daily backups when browsing through the TC via Windows Backup/Restore, but it tells me there are no valid backup files. Any Ideas?

That is purely a windows issue.. the TC is a storage device.. nothing more.. if you can see the files, then the problem is windows cannot find the main or initial backup. Check with Microsoft.. or windows forums.

Cant log in to time capsule with windows vista computer

When i try to log in to the time capsule I keep getting an error message that wont let me log in. I turned the firewalls off and it still doesnt let me. Any help??

Hello lascall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
See if the following resolves your Vista access issue with the Time Capsule:
o From the Vista desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK

Using Time Capsule with Windows Vista

I updated my TC, and it is working well with the internet as a router. However, I am having problems finding the TC as a hard drive on my computer. I did not have this problem before the update, and please no harassment about using Microsoft.
Any help here?

Yep, this seems to be a common problem from what I have seen on the forums and from my own personal experience.. it works fine on my mac, but my girlfriend can no longer access the files from her windows PC. I had to downgrade back to 7.3.2.. Hopefully this is fixed soon.

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.

Could you check something for me please? (This isn't going to be a cure in itself, but can give us a heads up on possible causes of the problem.)
Create a new user account on the PC with full admistrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new one. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Try to launch Safari in the new user account. Does it open in there, or do you get the same trouble as in the usual user account?

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.
