I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. All eligible information and screens im ready to provide. HELPDESK CONNECTED UP!!!
sry for my english

The TC does not offer FTP and ISP do not allow SMB connection via internet due to risk. Nor apparently does the TC allow wan connection using SMB.
So the simple answer is, you will have to figure out another way in.

There are no AFP client support for windows available.

Buy a vpn router and place it infront of the TC which should be bridged.. vpn to the network and then you can access the TC.. but you should understand the TC was not made to be used as a NAS nor to serve PC's.

how to use Time Capsule via INTERNET WITH WINDOWS 7 SMB Cloud

Get a vpn router.. I have no idea where you are in the world but you can find reasonable stuff for not too much money or even a general router that takes third party firmware like dd-wrt can run openvpn.
Set up the vpn router in place of the TC, as the main router in the network. Simply bridge the TC and place it behind the router. It will be accessible as part of the network via the vpn.
This is the only safe way to do it via windows.

If you google around I have seen posts about how to access TC by port forwarding SMB on the TC.. using a different port.. To me this is going to slow down the hackers by a day or two.. then they will discover the open port and access your network.. not just the TC.. they now have SMB access to everything. Don't do it. There is very little security on SMB.

Using Time capsule via internet

if my time capsule is at home, can i have access via internet from my company?

Your company probably has various firewalls in place that would prevent this.
There are numerous articles on connecting to the Time Capsule on the Internet. For starters:

How to access Time Capsule 2013 disk from Windows 7

I have seen several (older) threads that suggest that you can access the Time Capsule disk from Windows 7 using Windows Explorer and navigating to \\Time-Capsule-Name. However, I have tried this repeatedly and just cannot get it to work.
Could this be a bug or unsupported in the latest 2013 Time Capsule?
In Airport Utility, under Disks > File Sharing, I have Enable File Sharing checked. The workgroup is WORKGROUP.
The IP address is 192.168.1.4. I am able to ping it successfully; I just cannot access it through Windows Explorer.
Am I missing something? Please help!

Are you running homegroup on the PC..??
That should definitely be turned off!!
Homegroup can mess things up.
I would try with ipv6 off but that might make no difference at all.. leave it set to local-link if it doesn't do anything.
There was issues when the Gen4 came out with security. Windows uses too high an encryption level..
See info here.
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/changing-file-encryption-settings-on-a-win dows-7-h.pageCd-storyboard,pageNum-5.html
Change to 40 or 56 bit encyrption.
Unfortunately some of the controls you think you are setting on the TC are not really being set at all.. eg I doubt you are actually changing the workgroup.. if possible though you should have disk access set to lowest level .. device password and you should also turn on guest account to read and write.. that usually solved access for me in earlier TC .. I haven't bought an AC for the moment.. because.. well I believe I have done my time on the war front. I bled out already on the bleeding edge.. time for you to do it and I can reap the benefits on the second hardware revision and about the 10th firmware update.
Other things I would try if the above don't work.
Factory reset and start over.. you moved the IP of the TC and that is unwise.
Do not worry about the various settings.. do the factory reset.. in full isolation from the internet. ie TC plugged into the windows computer. Nothing else in either..
Now try at the default IP of the TC..
\\10.0.1.1
Beyond that you need another computer to try or some device. iOS would be fine... in normal situation you would test other protocols, eg ftp but TC offers only SMB and AFP.. there are no AFP clients for windows that I have heard of.. you might have success if you boot the PC from a linux live cd.. it should be able to read AFP even if it cannot write to it. But the SMB is more important. If linux can access with SMB protocol and windows cannot.. the issue is windws OS.
Or iOS devices have some AFP file browsers available but again just test with SMB.. most file browsers for iOS use SMB.. if other devices can manage SMB protocol to open files on the TC then the finger points very clearly to the PC as the trouble.. on the other hand if nothing can access SMB then the TC is faulty and should be replaced.

Is there a way to connect to my Time Capsule over internet from an iPad

Hi,
Could anybody please help me configure how to connect to my Time Capsule 3TB over internet from my iPad.
I would like to use it as Cloud station over internet.
I was able to connect from my Mac on both "over internet and from my local network" using "Back to My Mac"
I was able to conncet also from my iPad from my local network.
I bought some file browser Apps which enable iPad to connect as "afp, smb" but I could'nt manage to make it work?
I made all the setting required: Enabling NAT Port Mapping, File Sharing, Sharing Disk over WAN, but without success?!
Shouldn't Apple includes and supports iPad to make such connection like "Back to My Mac" protocol.
I believe that Time Capsule is a great product, but I think Apple should consider more of software compatibilities.
Thanks,,

Thanks Bob,
I already tried FileBrowser and I did all the steps as per the instruction on their webpage, but alwasy give error message.
Could it be that "smb" protocol blocked by my internet provider.
I am connecting to internet using DHCP.
Many thanks

I want to be able to reach my time capsule via internet so I can use all my stored files on it whereever I am...

Access Time Capsule via WAN on Windows

Hello
Please can someone tell me if they have been able to access a time capsule remotely from a windows box? I have afp working on Mac, but need a similar solution for windows?
Thanks
Mike

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the three LAN <--> ports on the Time Capsule to your Mac. Turn off the WIFi on the Mac and you are all set.
Whether or not the Ethernet connection will result in significantly faster performance when you enter Time Machine is open to question, since a lot of data must be loaded when you start up Time Machine to look at backups. In most cases though, a wired connection will load things faster than wireless.
Please let us know on your results.

I can't access to my Time Capsule via internet.

Hey, guys,
I can't access to my TC back home after install Yosemite.
My TC is in Taiwan, and I am in China.With OS 10.9, it work fine.
However, it can't link back to my TC now.
Did anyone know to fix it?
Or anyone have the same problem?
My device are Macbook Air, late 2011, and iPhone 5S, mid 2014.

Here is another person with the same issue.. but it came good all of itself.
Time Capsule remote access disabled with Yosemite?
Are you also using BTMM and iCloud?? Then maybe just be patient.. Yosemite needs to reindex all the files on the TC to use them.. and over an internet connection that may take an Age, Two Ages plus half an age.
Your indexes are lost with the install of Yosemite and it will take ages to re-index.

Access Time Capsule over internet with Windows??

Is this possible? I have a MobileMe account, and if required a dynamic dns hostname.
My Time Capsule is behind a router. What firewall settings do I need to allow?
Thanks

I'd suggest going over to http://www.dyndns.org and pick up a dynamic DNS. that will allow you to access your Timecapsule even if your ip address changes.
typically Windows wont work with afp:// addresses (which is appleshare) Windows natively uses SMB:// (samba/windows filesharing) you should be able to set up the smb sharing using timecapsule.
Looking at the time capsule setup, it looks like smb:// is automatically supported so you should type
smb://TCexternal_IPaddress
instead of afp://

I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection. Is this possible?

I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection. Is this possible?

Sure.. the PC connects by SMB.. the Mac connects by AFP or SMB..
But you can simply share SMB directly from the Mac.. there is no need to copy files through the TC. Go to system preference, sharing, and turn on SMB for the folder you want to share files to / from on the Mac.
Make sure you have a common username and password also helps.
If you have a TC already can you copy files to it via the windows machine??

HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

Hi Bob,
I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

Connecting to Time Capsule via Ethernet

Hi,
I'm working on a Tiger OS and I cannot connect to my time capsule. I followed instructions in the manual, but I simply do not see Time Capsule on my desktop, and there is very little info in the manual.
I am working off of ethernet, not airport, and would prefer to used ethernet for the moment. I have it connected via LAN port to my macbook pro. There's only one ethernet port on my computer. Does anyone have any advice? I know about about Macs, but dont have much experience with network specs.
I simply need to archive data, but I cannot see Time Capsule on my desktop. Time Capsule is connected just fine to my modem, but now how do I connect to my computer? I've tried to unplug ethernet from my computer, and into the LAN port on my capsule, but to no avail.
I am absolutely clueless as to how I can use this machine at this point??
Thanks much.

Jean,
You probably don't have the Network Preferences set correctly.
Connecting The Time Capsule Via Ethernet
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>).
Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Open Network Preferences.
At the top change "Location:" to "Ethernet Connection".
In the list on the left "Ethernet" should be at the top of the list. (If not use the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom to "Set Service Order".)
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
Give it a moment to acquire an IP address from the TC.
You should now be connected.
Now begin your initial backup.
Now that you are reconnected to the TC, you should still have internet access during the backup.
Let us know if this was helpful. Next time start a new thread, you're more likely to get helpful responses that way.
Cheers!

Acces Time Capsule fro internet

I want to acces my time capsule through internet, I have read that this si possible by enabaling the Wan sharing option, but i cant do this while in bridge mode, and i cant set it up in any other way becasue of my older router.
Any sugestions??

I have the Zyxel VMG8924-B10A, which is functioning as our Router. Which goes through a switch and then up to my TC.
The TC is in router mode.
Looking at your pictures.. thanks for posting them.. I can figure out what I need from most of the shots.. you are not routing on the TC.. you have it correctly set to bridge mode.
So your issue of the TC actually failing at the point of access is harder to follow.
I do want you to do a clean up of the names.
At the moment you have names with spaces.. this is not going to help windows and nowadays it won't help the Mac to work reliably either.
You can even changed the disk name to Time Capsule which won't work in windows.
So please factory reset the TC and start over.
Rename the base station to TCgen5, wireless to TCwifi and hard disk name to say TCdata (your USB drive you can ignore for now).
It should still be in bridge mode and otherwise the same.
Once you get it going again.. if you still have issues try plugging the ethernet from the switch.. into a LAN port instead of WAN.. it doesn't matter which you use actually once bridged. Do the connectivity lights on the switch show everything is working ok?
Once you do the above in windows.. it is well worth while loading the airport utility for windows if you have not already done so.. it may not work well with the later Airport routers but it does provide bonjour for windows and some other utilities.
Tell me then how it goes. There is also a domain issue which can cause problems so I might get you to post a netstat scan from the airport utility in one of the main computers.

Time capsule via cable

hi,
i use a Time capsule via WLAN. now the dc Connection via WLAN Diedrich.
now i World like to connect via cable, what i have to do?
Litze

More then a year it worked well.
How old is the TC? What model.. A1xxx from the base molded into the rubber or on the label.
TC that are Gen3 A1355 or Gen4 A1409 should be fine for 3years. After that they can give trouble.
I connected the System as ist was described in the Manual.
Using wireless connection to the TC is very poor. It is better to wire it to the dsl modem router as I described.
THere are two possible methods.. or more actually but the main ones wireless and ethernet .. of those ethernet is the only reliable way to do it.
Now i woukd like to use the TC as a normal extern harddisk via cable.
Is that possible?
If you want to use the TC it has to be connected by ethernet or wireless.. you cannot use it by USB. Nor can you use two different wireless connections at the same time.. it would be possible to connect to the imac by ethernet and use wireless to the dsl modem for internet.. but then the Macbooks could not connect to the wireless of the TC and get internet at the same time. You can set it up so the Macbook would get wireless to the TC or would get internet. but the TC has to be part of the network for you to get both at once.
So use the method I posted. Factory reset the TC.. and plug it in by ethernet to the modem router.. and use it in bridge mode.
Factory reset the TC by powering off.. then hold in reset and power on again.. keep holding in reset for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. nothing will happen to the data stored in the TC hard disk.
