Time Capsule Permissions Error with Torrent Client

Hi all.. i'm having a problem with using my torrent client with Time capsule and i'm wondering if anyone can help me at all?
I am using time caspsule as a wireless external hard drive with my macbook pro. And i'm using it to store my torrent files and as a download foler for my torrents. Lately my torrent client(i've used both transmission and Utorrent) has been giving me permission/data missing errors.
What hapens when i start downloading a torrent is that it will start downloading for about 30 seconds and then gives an error saying either permission denied or data missing.
I'm assuming this is happening because somewhere there are permissions on the time capsule that prevents the torrent client from reading and writing to it.
However when i bring up the info on any folders in the time capsule it clearly startes that i have read/write permissions for all user types.
That being said, i notice that when i bring up the information window of the time capsule as a whole(similair to viewing an external hard drive info) and view the permissions, i notice that permissions for 'unkown' users are 'read/write', however permissions for 'everyone' are 'no access'. i'm not sure if this is contributing to the torrent client error. When i try to change the permission for 'everyone' a messafe comes up saying that i don't have priveledges to change the setting! and i can't figure out how to change this setting. i'm not even sure if this is what i need to change tho.
I am the only user for this time capsule and my macbook pro is the only computer connected to it. i am using airport to connecr to it and i ccess internet through it. I can still transfer files and open up files on the time capsule through my macbook pro. i can access everything on it, it's just that both transmission and utorrent seem to be having trouble accessing the files on it due to some permissions settings which i must need to chang to allow access. however tranmission / utorrent have no issues with dealing with torrent files on my hard drive on my macbook pro, so i;m sure its not an issue with te torrrent client itself.
Any help would be much appreciated!
thanks!

Just go to the disk file sharing page, turn on guest access and give it full permissions for read and write.
But let me say this is probably a poor way to do things.. All the files you collect are actually being loaded into temporary files on the MBP and then copied across to the TC.. in the end you may as well just use the MBP to do your torrenting.. and once you have the files, move them across the TC.
We have also had issues with the TC dropping off the network on the latest firmware. So what you might be seeing is issues with afp connection to the TC.. open the log and see if you get loads of connection and disconnections from the IP of the MBP.. if so you are seeing the issue we are having.

  • Time Capsule backup fails with MobileMe synchronization

    Update:  this should have been posted to the Snow Leopard discussion area - was put here by accident.  Posted as question to:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16560106#16560106
    After working flawlessly for some time, my Time Capsule has stopped completing backups (automatic or manual) whenever MobileMe syncing is enabled - Time Machine finds the Time Capsulse, scans my files for updates and starts the upload, but then it always hangs partway through.  I've tried giving it as much as a day to see if it will continue to conclusion but it does not.  I have to re-start my system just to clear the hangup, and I've had to disable automatic Time Machine backups to stop the issue happening all the time.
    Curiously though, if I go into System Preferences --> MobileMe --> Sync and disable "Synchronize with MobileMe", reboot my computer and then still ensure the MobileMe icon in the top menu bar isn't swirling, I can then initiate a manual backup which runs all the way to conclusion without problem.  I can then re-enable synchronization with MobileMe until I wish to do another Time Machine backup.
    (If I disable Synchronize with MobileMe, but fail to reboot my computer, Time Machine still hangs.  Also, sometimes after disabling synchronization and rebooting, the MobileMe sync icon in the menu bar may start showing activity - if I start a manual backup during that, or if it happens during a manual backup, the backup hangs and fails.)
    After many repeated failures, Time Machine prompted me about an error and recommended wiping all the backups from the Time Capsule and starting with a fresh backup.  I did that, but it did not resolve the issue.
    Has anyone else seen this behaviour?  Does anyone have any recommendations on how one can fix this?
    Thanks very much!

    Not much experience with either TM or MM, but...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

    How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

    MobileMe service is finished.. to get remote access to the Mac or TC you use iCloud account.. but that is for files.. not to access web cams.
    Without dyndns client in the TC, you can perhaps run dyndns on the computer or video recorder..many of these will have clients built into them.
    Even better get a static Public IP from your ISP.. that is the correct professional way to do it.
    Or you can use whatever broadband modem you have and remove the TC as the main router.. simply bridge it. Use your adsl router for connection. Almost all adsl have built in dyndns.
    Sorry your language is very hard to follow.. and I am sure you are finding my answers similarly difficult.
    Basically the TC is about the hardest device to setup because it is lacking important networking functions.
    Get a vpn router and use vpn connection is far superior to any other method. But you cannot do it with TC.

  • I recently purchased a new Mac Pro and have been trying to back it up on my Time Capsule for the first time.  However, it says there is no available disk space. This time capsule was used with my old Mac Pro that had a Home vault open on it.

    The time capsule was used with my prior Mac Pro laptop that unfortunately had the home vault active on it.
    My new Mac Book Pro does not have home vault open.  But I am unable to back up my new MAC pro laptop because it says there is not enough storage space available.  Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop? 
    When I go into the time capsule - it shows me NOTHING as being in the backup datas.  So, I don't know where to begin to delete all the old data off the
    time Capsule and start with a completely empty machine. 

    Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
    Here is how to do this:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
    Click the Disks tab below the icons
    Click Erase
    The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
    Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
    Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

  • What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story.  Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
    What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

  • Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    We can tell you that it is possible to store separate images on the Time Capsule drive. If however, you are asking if you can access separate images from your Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule, this is not possible.
    How you get the images that your want from iPhoto on your Mac to the Time Capsule drive is a question for the iPhoto experts. It will likely involve "exporting" the files that you want and then moving them using the Finder to the Time Capsule drive.
    How you access those images on the Time Capsule from an iPad is a question for the Using iPad experts.

  • HT1178 time capsule set up with static ip

    Is set up of a time capsule the same with a static IP address as with a dynamic address?
    Is it still just plug it in and use airport utility to set up.
    We install a video survillance system to moniter an ill family member and the system installer says we need a static IP address.
    Thanks for you help
    ppgnho

    That means static IP on the LAN side.. that is set via the airport utility and is simple to do.. just go to the Network tab in the airport utility and use the dhcp reservation.
    I am not sure what version utility you are using but it looks like this in v5.
    And like this in v6.
    Click the + for reservations..
    This is so the port forwarding goes to the same device.
    See Tesserax doco on port forwarding here.

  • HT1178 Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive

    Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive. If so what software do I need to buy?

    Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive.
    Yes, on XP, Vista and 7. Have not tried 8.
    If so what software do I need to buy?
    Genie Timeline Pro does a very nice job...and it is similar to Apple's Time Machine.  It's not cheap though.  Check with the Genie folks for more info and compatibility with Windows 8.

    Has anyone had the Network time and date error with Apple TV when traveling?

    Jasion,
    Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion   3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

    Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have  3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

    The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
    BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.

    If the TC is not the main router just bridge it.
    Have you tried it with the TC bridged??
    You need to describe the full network because we have no idea how all this is setup.

    I have set up Time Capsule to use with Time Machine but when I open Time Machine it 'cannot find' the Time Capsule and I have to 'Select the Disk' each time. In the Next Backup tab it always says "When disk is connected" even though the disk is already connected.

    Your pro doesn't matter.. I presume it is happily working.
    Your imac setup has got messed up because you changed from a local (my book being USB type I presume) to network drive. Did you do a clean install of Lion?
    Did you use the backup from the Pro on the imac? Otherwise I don't see how the Pro shows up in use previous disk. Where is Pondini when you need him??
    You cannot download Time Machine as an App and replace the current version. It is built into the OS.. the only way to do it is a clean install. Unfortunately that might be the only way around the issue.
    There is a number of issues that Pondini has covered in the setup issues of troubleshooting.
    This is the most relevant I think. http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
    But look at the whole section B setup problems.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If it was me, I would store all the info you need.. not using TM but using a straight copy of files.
    Then clean install Lion. I doubt any of these issues would exist if you had not installed Lion over existing setup or used a different backup.
    See if you can get Pondini to respond.. !!

    Firstly, try a factory reset. This can often iron out problems like this.
    Also, what generation is your TC? What version of AirPort Utility are you using?
