Time capsule share files

how can i share my files for time capsule online?
tks

I found this bug when I am trying to import some photos from iPhone to TC with Aperture 3.
P.S.: Aperture 3 is going to create some files named like: "..importing.****.jpg" on TC while importing photos.

Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

Suggestions, Observations and problem with Time Capsule shares

*Some Observations*
The Time Capsule can take a long time to become active. This is especially true if using an extended or WDS network. I would suspect this is due to the negotiation between devices that it needs to do. I have on occasion believed it to be hung, only to find that after walking away for a bit it comes up. This also impacts devices showing up in the Airport utility.
Using a time capsule with one Airport Express B/G will work, but adding a second creates problems.
Extending a network with an Airport Express N seems to work well.
Best bet is to set up separate B/G and N networks and run your N network as N only at 5Ghz.
WEP provides no real security, so think of it as you would an open network.
*My Issue*
I am having an issue where the time capsule shares become unavailable. It is an intermittent issue, and I have been unable to identify a test case. This happens for devices connected over ethernet as well as wireless. The Time Capsule shows in the Finder list, but the volumes are not available. Connecting to them fails.
The device also appears in the Airport Utility list, but when clicking on Manual Setup, or guided set up, it causes a hang.
This results in Time Machine hanging when trying to initiate a backup.
I have also noticed that when this happens, the signal does start to get a bit flaky with "Roam (Beacons Lost)" messages. Wireless connectivity still seems to be very useable though. I can connect to other network shares through the Time Machine, but not to the shares on the Time Machine. The only way to recover from this is to power cycle the Time Capsule.
One thing I want to investigate more tonight is whether there are any issues with my keychain and old passwords in case there are multiple failed attempts in the mix that are doing something. Although I know of no lockout feature on the device.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the second Time Machine, so I have seen this on two different devices. I am also seeing this issue across 4 different computers simultaneously, some via ethernet and some wirelessly. Time Capsule is 7.3.2

Hi,
I have pretty much the same problem, 1TB Time Capsule that works fine most of the time as a wireless router. Up till recently Time Machine backups just worked (as one would expect them to) wired and wireless. I went away for a week came back and now every time Time Machine invokes a back up process all of a sudden my wireless network goes down, Time Machine can no longer see the Time Capsule and all other devices (iphone / apple TV other non apple devices) no longer have connections (they see wireless but no pass through to the internet or each other).
I have tried resetting all sorts of stuff, re-deployed my network, changed IP / LAN settings to make it less complex, Yasu'd my mac, connected only via wires, cleaned out my keychain etc etc and still get the same problems and as per Chris's point airport utility also hangs and the only solution is rebooting the time capsule.
I am fairly frustrated with this! any suggestions / help would be gratefully accepted.
thanks
alex

Will time capsule backup file on pc partion

will time capsule backup files on pc partion

Not using Time Machine, which will only backup a Mac.
You could manually copy the files over to the Time Capsule disk....or better yet, use a PC application like Genie Timeline Pro to set this up automatically.

Losing connection to Time Capsule share of slide show images

My 10.6.latest iMac screen saver references a folder on my Time Capsule external drive over a WiFi network.
Lately (10.6.5?), instead of seeing the screen saver images, I see a "unable to find" sort of message. I can still connect to the Time Machine through the FInder.
My hunch is that the Time Capsule drive has gone to sleep and the OS X screen saver is timing out before it comes online.
Anyone see anything like this?
I'm thinking of running a script or utility that would simply access the Time Capsule NAS frequently.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to solve the problem. ITunes still periodically complains that it can't find the library - this happens both when the Mac has been on for awhile and I first start up iTunes, or if iTunes has been running for awhile as well. In either case, I have to click through to the Time Capsule share with the iTunes library on it. I can tell the Mac has lost the connection because it takes some time for the share and its folders to show up as I click through the path.
Anyone else run into this???

Time Capsule and File Sharing on Server

I am in the process of setting up Server at home. I've run into a snag with using a Time Capsule as my router and backup drive and also enabling file sharing through Server. When adding File Sharing as a service in the Server application, a warning comes up to disable disk sharing at the router before forwarding the ports. The problem is that if I disable disk sharing on the Time Capsule, I can no longer access my Time Capsule drive (for obvious reasons). I was reading another post that discussed enabling disk share from the router and then adding a port for file sharing manually, but that did not seem to work as I cannot remotely access my files.
I am running Server on an iMac which is running Mavericks. The Time Capsule says it's "version 7.6.4". It's a 2TB drive. The iMac is a 2012 system with 1TB drive. I also have a Drobo and a few external drives connected.
I appreciate any advice! Thanks!

If I turn on disk sharing (even without the LAN option) I can select the disk to back up, but then I cannot share files using my server due to the port conflict.
I find this hard to follow.. there is no port conflict on a local lan with sharing.. that is not even possible.
If you have several Macs for instance and set each to share.. they are all able to share.. there is no port conflicts.. You do not need all the devices on different ports because they have different names.
You only get into port conflicts when you have external access turned on.. and are having to port forward. Because the network is identified by a single public IP.. in that case you can port translate but you don't do that in a LAN.
There has to be something screwy in the server version of Mavericks for this to happen.
I am trying to think of way around it.. but I will do a bit of google work first on if others are having issues with latest server version.
What about giving me a few screenshots of the setup...
Network on the server.. and network on the TC ..
And run netstat scan on the server to see the local IP addresses of everything.

Can I use one 2tb external hard drive for time capsule and file storage?

I would like to use time capsule, but also keep the hard drive on my desktop for file storage. Can I do this?

Apple advises against doing that.
Any data stored on the disk that Time Machine is backing up to can not be backed up.
Plus the data outside of the Time Machine backup database cause problems when Time Machine starts cleaned up old backups to recover space for new backups.
For these reason it is advised that the Time Capsule disk be used for one or the other but not both.

My Mac is out of space. Can I use the time capsule to files?

My Mac is out of space. Can we remove files from the MAc and store them on the time capsule?

Only if you are happy if they all get lost.. The TC is a backup device.. ie the target for backups,, it is not a NAS.. it has no way to back itself up automatically.. there is a manual full backup.
Plug an external drive into the Mac and use that.. or buy a real NAS.

New External Drive connected to Time Capsule moving files problem

I have a late 2009 13" unibody MacBook Pro, that I primarily use for video editing/converting. I use my Time Capsule as a network through which I can connect to my external hard drives via USB for videos and such. I've used at least two other external hard drives along with my Time Capsule for a year and a half with very few problems, aside from the inevitable crash of one. Before yesterday, I had a 1TB Western Digital MyBook (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=210) and a 2TB Verbatim Desktop HD (http://www.verbatim.com/prod/hard-drives/desktop/usb-2.0/) connected through my 1TB Time Capsule and aside from the Verbatim drive being rather sluggish most of the time, everything was working fine.
Yesterday, I got a new external drive, an iOmega MiniMax 2TB (http://go.iomega.com/en-us/products/external-hard-drive-desktop/ultramax-minimax /minimax800/?partner=4760). I spent yesterday and most of today moving files around and whatnot through a wired connection (iOmega via firewire 800, Verbatim via USB, MyBook via USB, and Time Capsule via Ethernet), and everything moved quickly and without any problems.
I hooked my Time Capsule up to my modem, plugged in the iOmega and Verbatim drives via USB to the TC, and started my laptop. When I opened the drives, everything was working fine... And then I tried to move a file to the iOmega drive... I was moving an episode of The Killing. I dragged it into the folder and went to Safari to look something up and suddenly realized ten minutes later that I still hadn't heard the noise telling me that the file had finished. I looked at the move dialogue box and it said "156.8 MB of 323.8 MB - About 10 Seconds". I watched it for another ten minutes and it didn't move. So I clicked cancel move and the rainbow wheel of death came up and I had to force reboot my computer.
When I restarted, I opened up finder to access the drives through my Time Capsule, and it "failed to connect" to my Time Capsule. So I went back into my office to flip the switch on the surge protector in order to restart the process. I turned on my computer and I had no problem accessing my hard drives... Until I tried to move an episode of United States of Tara into the iOmega hard drive. This time, it said, "192.5 MB of 202.6 MB - About 5 Seconds" and completely stopped moving again. And the same thing happened when I clicked the little grey "x" to cancel the move.
I repeated the process several more times with no luck. Then I thought it might help to see if it does the same thing with documents. So I dragged just a random document to the iOmega and it took about 30 seconds, but it did it successfully. So I tried to move the episode of The Killing again and I let it go for, like, 25-30 minutes. After this time, I got a notification from finder saying, "Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "[the file]" can't be read or written. (Error Code -36)". Then when I went back into the "Shared" part of the sidebar to go back into my Time Capsule folder, it said "Connection Failed"
So what exactly does this mean? Are the Time Capsule and iOmega not compatible? Can I only move the files through a wired connection [which would be unfortunate]? Do I need to rejigger the USB configuration? Is the error code just for these two episodes and it's just a random coincidence that it happened the day after I got a new drive?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

I have attached the macbook to the tc via ethernet cable. Should I turn off my wireless connection or will itunes recognize to go with the faster connection on it's own?
You MBP will try to connect based on the order of the list of network devices on the System Preferences > Network window. If Ethernet is not at the top of the list, then go ahead and temporarily disable AirPort.
After all this is done will the wireless connection be fast enough for normal itunes operation?
For audio streaming it should be, but just be aware that your iTunes host will have to get the audio source wirelessly from the TC, which in turn will have to get the data from the USB hard drive. Finally, the iTunes host will have to wirelessly stream the iTunes audio via AirTunes to the AirPort Express.

Time Capsule vs files on MAC and PC

When will i save any files on a Time Capsule using MAC will it be possible to access them using Windows on a diffrent PC (PS3 or any other equipment)without any issues???
is the data saved on TC using MAC got diffrent format or it is the same which WIndows is using and any other equipment???

Yes. Some document formats can't be used in Windows, such as compiled AppleScripts.

As long as the drive is connected to or inside the Time Capsule, its format doesn't matter.

Time Capsule: deleted files

Hello
If the Time Capsule backs up my computer, and then I delete files from my computer, are the files still available on the time capsule?
Thanks!

A good backup plan means that you have an "original" copy on one drive and a "backup" on another drive.
With your plan....
When....not if....the Time Capsule fails or has a problem you will lose all of your important files.
In other workds, if you delete the files from one drive.......you have no backups.
Only the most foolhardy of users would consider this.

Time capsule putting files back in trash

I have been having problems with the time capsule getting stuck on preparing back up. I managed to trash the partial backup and get it working again. Now every time it does a back up the trash fills with back up files and then empty's again when the back up is finished. Never had this before. Any ideas what's going on.
Thanks,
Allen.

Here is the update: The backups are there, it is just that the Favorites folder links are broken in Time Capsule. I'm not sure why this is happening and how to relink those favorite folders to actually work when using them in Time Capsule mode.

Time capsule. recover files and mount drive

I have tried to recover files from a formated time capsule without success.
Problem is I cannot find the drive in disk utilities and can only assume that as a result I cannot find the drive through, File salvage, Stellar Pheonix and disk utilities.
I have added the drive to the desktop through the systempreferences/accounts/loginitems and now I have it on the desktop.
the drive is easily viewable and accessible through Finder although I cannot find or search for it in any disk utility tool.
Can anyone advise of a solution. How can I use these disk utilities and how can I launch this network drive in the mac disk utilities.

OSX or Time Capsule? file size differences

So i have my music library on my 500GB time capsule.
i also have it backed up to two different 1TB harddrives (they all report the same amount of files and size)
each 1TB states there are 159.23GB space used by the Music folder with 184 Folders
the 500GB time capsule states: 93.68GB of space used with the same amount of folders.
I did an individual file size check of every folder on each drive using the optcmdI and they all reported the same size.
is there anyway to figure out why this stating differing file sizes?
Time Capsule
1TB drive

I agree that it doesn't make sense, especially that extreme of a difference.
I might be that not all of the data was transferred to the drive with the smaller sized music collection. And just because there are the same amount of folders on each drive does not mean there are the same amount of actual music files in each of those folders.
When copying data, any folders are copied first, then the files within those folders are copied. If your transfer failed for any reason (with or without your knowledge) it was most likely after the folders had been copied but before all the files within those folders had been copied.
I hope that makes sense.

Finding password email in time capsule backup file

My iMac died last week and is in the Apple shop getting a new logic board and hard drive.
In the meantime, there is a web site that I want to access, but I don't have the password. My iMac always recalls the file when I used to log in from there.
I've used the "Back-in-Time" application to access some files from my Time Capsule while using my laptop. Is there a way to find a web site password? (I've already tried the 'forgot your password' link, and for some reason it did not send the password to me).
I also know I have an email in Apple Mail with the password on it. They sent it to me when I originally joined the site. Is there a way to search for specific emails from "Back-in-Time"?

Can I use it as storage (iTunes library, iPhoto pictures, iMovie stuff...) directly from iMac ? Is it visible as a normal network drive where I can store files ?
Yes, but as Bob says, your best bet will be to create one or more +disk images+ (via Disk Utility, in your Applications/Utilities folder) for that data.
The reason for this is, Time Machine is designed to use all the space available to it for backups; once it's full, TM begins deleting the oldest backup(s) when it needs room for new ones.
Thus making +disk image(s)+ will reserve a certain amount of space that Time Machine can't fill.
Also, be sure you have other backups of any data you put there. When the TC's disk fails (and all disk drives fail, sooner or later), you may lose anything on it.
