Time Capsule & Shared folders

Before I purchased my time capsule I had a linksys wireless router and I could see the shared folders of my Dell PC on my MacBook. Since I have set up the Time Capsule I can't see them any longer although I can see the time Capsule from the Dell and have backed up to it as well as backing up from the MacBook. Where am I going wrong?

I found out that Time Capsule manages these rights. This is how I fixed my problem:
Enabled 'AirPort disk Guest Access' in the AirPort Utility, set it to 'read' and connected to the Time Capsule as 'Guest'. Now all users can approach the Time Capsule folders through FTP.
P.S. This is on Snow Leopard Server

  • Can't mount or access Time Capsule shared drive after installing Mavericks

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9.2) last weekend and everything went fine at first.
    However, after copying and moving several files from-to my Time Capsule, I can't access the shared drive anymore.
    My Time Capsule is installed in a LAN and I can see it from all computers (it prompts for the security password). However, even as the "Data" volume in TC is shown on Finder, I cannot access it or browse any of the files on it, neither the backup files (sparsbundle) not the regular folders/files we kept there as a shared volume. (see screenshots). All I see is the "Data" folder as a "Sharepoint" (?). When I double click I see an error message: "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Data" can't be found" (see screenshots attached).
    I ran Airport Utility 6.3.2 and everything seems to be working well on the Time Capsule. It shows a solid green light and the firmware is up to date (7.6.4).
    I need to recover my files from the drive (I don't care too much about the backup files as I can recreate them from scratch). I've been reading support forums all morning and couldn't figure out a way to do it.
    I also tried the "Archive" function from Airport Utility to copy everything on TC to a USB drive and nothing happens (all I get is a Time Machine backup folder with zero items in it).
    Any ideas on how to recover the files on the drive would be great!
    Thanks.

    Have you tried shutting down the Time Capsule and then restarting it? Have you tried resetting it?
    See pages 28 and 29. Using Airport Utility (page 29), I don’t see the options the manual says are there. I have done a reset and a full reset (page 28) many times and it has always straightened out the Time Capsule.

  • Time Capsule - Sharing a USB hard disk over network

    Hello,
    I've been trying to get a definite answer to this issue on this forum and others, but couldn't. Sorry if it was already answered and if my thorough search wasn't enough.
    I have a Time Capsule and I wish to add an external hard drive to my setup. Since I want the HD to be shared on the network and be accessible through my wifi setup at home, I want to add it on the USB port on the Time Capsule and then make it a shared HD over the network.
    Seems that if this is a stroll in the park with the Airport Extreme base, it's not that straightforward with Time Capsule.
    All the articles I could find were about adding a HD backup to the TC, but it's not what I'm looking for. I really wish to simply add a HD through the USB port and allow the network users to access it (don't need it to be backed up on the TC !).
    My network has an Airport Express as an extender and I have to point out that the TC is not really acting as a router as the place I live in has direct connection to a central router through a RJ45 wall plug.
    Any ideas, walkthroughs ? (or any good ideas for a not expensive WLAN RAID solution ?)
    Thank you so much for any help you could provide me.
    Cheers

    To expand on "Glasses" comments:
    *Attached Another Hard Disk to the TC But How Do I Access It?*
    Open a Finder window
    Select the Time Capsule in the Sidebar on the left.
    Click "Connect As..." in the upper right of the window.
    Enter the Name of your Time Capsule & its' password (Note: NOT your own Username & password).
    Check "Remember password in my Keychain."
    You should now see a blue share folder with the name of your Time Capsule.
    Other hard disk attached to the Time Capsule’s USB port will also appear here as blue share folders as well. To mount them on your desktop double-clicking their blue folders. If you had a separate password setup for those disks in Airport Utility then enter that password if asked. Otherwise, it should now mount on your desktop.
    Let us know if this solves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • Accessing Time Capsule shared drive from Vista

    When running Vista in Bootcamp on my late 2008 Macbook Pro, I can see the shared network drive on the Time Capsule, but when I try to access it it just freezes Windows Explorer and I have to forcibly terminate the explorer process. Is there a trick to get it to work? I'd like to use Norton Ghost to backup Vista on the Time Capsule drive.
    Thanks.

    I have a 1TB TC currently working as my router for a Macbook, Vaio and Dell laptops. I can only access the files from the Macbook. I tried installing Bonjour on the Vaio, but still cannot access the saved files...maybe the install was not good? Any ideas? I tried the online Bonjour download...I do not have the disc.

  • Time Capsule: Shared Disk or Time Machine Backup

    Hi
    I am planning to buy a 500GB Time Capsule, but i have some doubts that maybe you could help me.
    I know that Time Capsule is not just for making time machine´s backups. I know this because on apple website it indicates that works in PC and Tiger so that means that it is also a shared disk.
    What i want to know is if i have to choose between a shared disk or a time machine backup. What i want to do is to assign 250Gb for time machine and the rest for a shared disk.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks

    Almost certainly you will be able to use Time Capsule for both Time Machine backups as well as shared file storage. However - a couple of things to keep in mind:
    1. because Time Machine continues to back up files over time, the amount of drive space it uses will also continue to increase (potentially to the limit of the available free space).
    2. there is (unconfirmed) speculation that you may not be able to partition the drive built into Time Capsule, so that you may not be able to force an upper limit to Time Machine's usage of the drive without of course keeping close track of it yourself.

  • Help, Multiple Time Capsule shared disks created??!!

    This won't make too much sense but envision a Finder window with the left hand side showing all the SHARED disks/computer such as the other computers on my local network and including the Time Capsule. When I first started using the TC, it showed up just fine with its pretty TC icon. That still shows up. But about a month ago, there was a bad storm, TC freaked out. The old icon for the TC is still there along with it's original name - "Time Capsule" (original, I know). But I cannot connect to it. However, a new shared disk appeared named "Time Capsule(2)" which I could connect to normally. Then last week my surge protector freaked out and not that one is a no go but a third was created "Time Capsule(3)" which I can connect to. NOTE: the subsequent shared disks have a "cinema display" type icon and not the cute TC icon.
    Ok, here is what I want to know: how can remove the "dead" Time Capsule, make sure the working Time Capsule has the cute icon, and understand why this happened. Much appreciated.
    Alex.

    I would try this:
    NOTE: The information (data, files, backups) stored on the Time Capsule will not be erased by this process
    1. In Time Machine preferences turn off backups (if not already off)
    2. Open Disk Utility
    3. Enter Time Machine and then exit (only to mount backup) - in Disk Utility, Time Capsule should show in left hand window
    4. Verify Disk (repair if necessary)
    5. If you need all the settings from Time Capsule, enter Airport Utility>manual setup and copy down the information
    6. Conduct a hard reset (erasing profiles) on the Time Capsule by pressing the reset button for more than 5 seconds immediately at power on (light should blink rapidly amber followed by a reboot)
    based off these instructions:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300
    7. Restart your computer
    8. Run Airport Utility to reconfigure the Time Capsule
    9. Go to Finder window and connect to Time Capsule
    10. If necessary per step 1: Turn on backups, select Time Capsule as backup disk & conduct backup

  • Can I use Time Capsule shared drive with Windows 7?

    I have a MacBook Pro and want to buy/set up Time Capsule and use it as a shared hard drive in my small home office. We have PC's as well with Win7.  WIll this work?

    First find the spec for your AEBS. TC is Gigabit ethernet ie 10/100/1000. The older AEBS were Fast ethernet ie 10/100.
    What would I do? TC set as base and create its own wireless network.. Main computer and cable modem attach to it. AEBS set up as bridge and create its own wireless network.
    With this set up you can configure TC as N only at 5 GHZ if you have Extreme capable wireless Macs. The AEBS set N+(B/G) 2.4 GHZ for older G capable Macs. If you ever purchase Apple TV it can connect to the TC for speed of upload files to itself. The older Macs can still connect to AEBS and be used a Apple TV to stream.

  • Time Capsule sharing in office

    i wanted to know how i can setup my time capsule so i can share files with other people in the office?
    thank you

    With macs, this is easy.
    The time capsule should show up in your finder under shared. Open up the drive, copy a file to it, then access it the same way from other computers.
    With windows, it is a bit harder: you'll need to install airport utility which also installs the airport disk agent. This will mount the time capsule drive as a network drive on the computer.

  • Is it possible to browse a Snow Leopard back-up on a Time Capsule shared with a Lion backup using the Lion-only machine?

    My 2006 Macbook died but was backed up to my Time Capusle. This machine was running the most uptodate version of Snow Leopard at the time.
    I've read that I should be able to access this backup using a different Mac but I can't see it when I CTRL-click the Time Machine icon (in the dock), when using my Macbook running Lion 10.7.1.  It only shows me the current backup for this machine.
    I know the old backup must be there somewhere as the Time Capsule is almost completely full (700 gb of the 1tb was dedicated to the old MA

    If you control-click on the Time Machine icon and select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" but don't see the other backups, try this: Look in the "sidebar" of a Finder window for your Time Capsule.  If you see it, select it, then look for the Time Capsule's disk (probably called "Data" if you didn't rename it).  Double-click that to mount it.  Now try again to control-click on the Time Machine Dock icon.

  • After 10.5.6, Time Capsule shared volumes don't remount after wake

    I've noticed than since upgrading to 10.5.6, the system will not properly autoremount a time capsule volume when I wake from sleep.
    Sometimes the system reconnects, other times it doesn't. This used to always remount in the previous release.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    I am having the same problem. I am running 10.5.6 and my Airport Utility doesn't show my time capsule when I start the app. I can find the network, but the device doesn't show up. I can restart and it still doesn't show up. If I leave it running for several hours, it somehow fixes itself. Once it goes to sleep, the network shows up but the airport utility can't find the time capsule. Jeez. I have had nothing but trouble since I installed 10.5.6. I have tried reinstalling 10.5.6 again and again, no help.

  • Time Capsule Shared drive- Bonjour hangs, mapped drives work intermittantly

    I am having an issue in a Mac/PC environment with a Time Capsule. Naturally, the Macs have no problem.
    I was able to resolve some issues. Initially, the PCs could not connect to the Time Capsule. It turned out that the Time Capsule had a name that was 20+ characters long. Now, I can get them to log in, but the connection is very intermittant. The particulars:
    1 - Everything is on a 192.168.y.z. network, and the PCs are in a workgroup (small company, no domain). PCs are running Vista and XP Pro.
    2 - Everything is wired, no wireless
    3 - The PCs can print through Bonjour and I can also administer the Time Capsule from the Airport Utility on a Windows machine.
    3 - If I map a drive, Z:\\192.168.y.z\TCShare and then log in as Guest / Device password, sometimes it will connect other times not. If I get a connection, then log another PC onto the device, I lose the connection on the first one and the other never connects.
    4 - Bonjour never connects from the PCs. If I try with guest access, it says that I need Netbios enabled (it is and I have the Time Capsule address in WINS). If I try the password, Bonjour hangs and eventually says Not Responding.
    I've tried various fixes on this and other forums, but Im at a loss at this point. I can provide any additional information, just let me know.
    Sincerely,
    Brian Fink

    I have a 1TB TC currently working as my router for a Macbook, Vaio and Dell laptops. I can only access the files from the Macbook. I tried installing Bonjour on the Vaio, but still cannot access the saved files...maybe the install was not good? Any ideas? I tried the online Bonjour download...I do not have the disc.

  • Time Capsule disk not visible in Back to My Mac

    Hi,
    I've seen this problem couple of times already in questions of other people, but there might be sort of a difference in my situation, and therefore I'm starting this new thread. My situation is following:
    - I set up a new Time Capsule at my home, both as a shared disk and as an WiFi access point for my home network
    - I can see the shared disk from all my computers at my home (in the sidebar of Finder, i.e. using Bonjour)
    - I want to see the shared disk also from my work (using Back to My Mac), and therefore I set my MobileMe login in the Time Capsule (using AirPort Utility -> Advanced -> MobileMe)
    - ... but I don't see the Time Capsule shared disk from my home :-( (i.e. it doesn't appear in the Finder sidebar of my work computer)
    - now I guess I could get plenty of hints about bad NAT, firewalls, etc., but this is an important think:
    - I don't see the Time Capsule from my work computer, but at the same time I DO see my home computer which is connected by this Time Capsule
    - ... so I'd say all the NAT stuff is OK, is it not?
    - so to summarise it: I've got Back to My Mac turned on on both my computers - at home and at work; I've got MobileMe login filled in in the Time Capsule at home (plus disk sharing is enabled, protected by a password); the home computer is connected to the Internet through that home Time Capsule; and from my work I CAN see the shared disk of my home computer, but I CANNOT se the shared disk of the home Time Capsule (which is in the very same network as the home computer)
    - the technicalities are: TC firmware 7.5.2, AirPort Utility 5.5.2, Mac OS 10.6.7 on both computers; TC Airport is in the Bridge mode, it has got a fixed IP 10.x.x.x (at home I'm connected using a metropolitan network with this internat IP range; there are no private NATs allowed, all connected devices must have a unique IP inside the whole network), and its default router is manually set to 10.y.y.y
    Please can anyone tell me what can be wrong? Do I do something wrong? Is there a setting I missed? Because this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3486 doesn't mention anything special, it's just a very intuitive setup. And if I've set everything properly, why is there the difference between the home computer and the Time Capsule?
    Thanks a lot for any advice
    JR

    rompi,
    So get this, out of the blue, I started seeing the unseen TC without doing a thing.  I went through the settings after I posted on the 1st.  I "cycled" the TC disc file sharing off and on and re did the back to my mac function, i.e., I deleted and added my mobile-me user names and passwords.  Nothing happened at first, I could still see the TC in network, but not from the web.  Two weeks past and poof, there it was and it's been there ever since.  Screen sharing always worked and I could always see the mac associated with that TC, that never changed.
    Go figure.

  • Using Time Capsule as Hard Drive for Videos

    This is likely a simple issue but I want to ensure that I do this properly. My internal hard drive is near capacity. I store a lot of media on my internal hard drive such as photos, music and video. I would like to move the video files (both edited and unedited) to my Time Capsule to free up space on my internal hard drive and continue to store and access/edit the photos on my internal hard drive. I would like to continue to use iMovie and other software to edit the videos which will be moved to Time Capsule. I tried to drag and drop the movie files from my hard drive to the Time Capsule Data folder but it started simply making a copy of the movie files rather than moving them entirely. I want to make sure that iMovie will "find" these files when I open the application.
    I did something similar with my music library. While I have issues such as iTunes not finding the music (even though I changed the location of the music directory within iTunes preferences, iTunes still shows a circle with an ! in it for a good portion of my music which is frustrating bt that s a topic for another day), I want to make sure that I do this propoerly as these videos are special family videos that I have spent a good deal of time ediing.
    Oh and one other thing, I am about to transfer a lot of new unedited video taken over the holidays and I want to make sure when I download them to my Mac, that the new video is saved directly to the new Time Capsule video folders.
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    I am not saying you cannot use it.. I am saying it is far from ideal.
    If your TC dies. as they do .. and take it to apple, they will then change the story to say that it is a backup device.. there are no parts available for the TC, no service, no repairs.. it will be replaced in warranty. Wave goodbye to your content.. as they will do nothing to recover it.. if you remove the disk, or tamper in any way you will have voided the warranty. No NAS on the market (worth the name) seals in the hard disk.
    The hard drive is a WD green.. far from the best hard drive around.. and whilst apple claim server quality.. I think their definition of servers and mine has reached snapping point. They are using MTBF from 15years ago or more.
    For things like media, where you are handling large files.. a single green drive, without raid, in a backup device on the network are slow. Set to spin down 1min after file transfer is complete.. is so far from ideal it is ridiculous.
    The reality is, Apple simply do not have another product.. a suitable one available.. and with the wide spread change to ssd, people are rapidly discovering their 128 and 256GB drives do not cut it.
    I am glad you are at least using some backup regime.. that it isn't built into the TC is IMHO another indication that it isn't what apple are claiming it to be. Indeed even the pathetic attempt at backup they had built into the v5 utility, archive to USB drive.. no increments,, always the whole disk.. extremely slow.. was removed from the v6 utility. You cannot sell a device as a NAS without any way to backup, other than using a third party product.

  • Since Mavericks upgrade, Time Capsule stuck deleting old backups ... for days

    I have a previous generation 2TB Time Capsule shared by three of us, each with separate accounts.
    I know there's not much space left on the Time Capsule and that it's therefore expected that Time Machine would make room by deleting old backups. But my account seems stuck forever on these deletions (for over 72 hours now), while the other two accounts on the Time Capsule are working just fine.
    I've been through Pondini's recommendations for (a) patience and (b) finally resetting Time Machine, but on it goes.
    Here is the last couple of hours of the log (filtered for this problem).  The entire log for the last 72 hours is too long to post -- but the pattern is the same, with the constant deletions barely making a dent, and sometimes in fact the space available decreases.
    I'd cheerfully give up on the oldest backups, but meanwhile it's been 8 days since TC has been able to complete a backup.  (I have been cloning the drive daily with SuperDuper just to make sure I have a fallback until this is figured out.)
    Hoping one of you can recommend a course of action.
    Thanks in advance for any help...

  • ITunes Media folder on Time Capsule

    Hi,
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 instructions, I moved my "iTunes Media" folder to time capsule shared folder.
    There have been no problems for video and mp3s.
    However, I noticed accessing of my iPhone Apps from iTunes library is painfully slow. Just give an idea, "Get Info" on "Angry Birds" takes 30sec to appear, update "Angry Birds" tooks 30min to finish and during the progress the iTunes does not have any response (progress showing "Processing file")
    The problem does not exist on Mac.
    Is this normal?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    The issue is the TC is slow to start up.. each time you start your Mac.. it will not be able to spin up the TC fast enough to locate the iTunes library so you will get an error and have to manually direct the iTunes to the library.. over and over and over..
    The TC is really unsuitable.
    But there are suggestions on how to do this.. move the whole application to the TC.. and use an icon on the desktop to start up the iTunes.. I am not sure of the details.. but I have seen the description.. as long as the software starts up from the same place as the library it should work..
    Ask in the iTunes section.
    There is nothing wrong with the TC .. it is working as it was designed.. as a target for Time Machine.
