Time Capsule. Will it work with TIGER? Boot-Camp?

First, double edge sword, can't use tiger and boot camp.
1st. Can you use Time C with TIGER?
Also can you use TC w/Leopard and then install bootcamp and boot up with WINDOWS on TC using bootcamp?
Thanks

In answer to your question you can use some features of TC running Tiger (see link and scroll down to System Requirements). However, be aware that TM backup onto TC using Leopard will not backup a Windows partition.

My time capsule will only work with one device at a time

I just purchased the Airport time capsule. I have it set up with my imac, but I also run a macbook air, older macbook, PC laptop, PC desktop, wii, xbox, and 3 iphones off of this device. My issue is that my ISP does not serve more than 1 IP address and with previous routers, the IP address they recognized was only on my router. Now, each time a new device tries to use the internet, my ISP is bypassing time capsule and recognizing the device IP address. It's very frustratitng! How do I set up my Time Capsule so that it's IP address is the only one my ISP recognizes, but all my devices are able to run off of the Time Capsule as the router. (obviously I am not over educated in this area so solutions in simple language are greatly appreciated!) Thanks!

I read the same solution somewhere else in the forum but it does not solve my problem. When I set up the Airport, it sets up in bridge mode by default. When I contacted my ISP they said it needed to be in bridge mode (their rationale is that they only allow 1 IP address). I just switched it to DHCP and NAT and this is what the default settings go to:
After I update it with these settings my internet won't work at all and this is the error message I get:
Any suggestions?
My internet "Digis". www.digis.net. They are a smaller company and put a dish on my roof. The modem is very small, does not have a router.

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
2) Open Terminal.app
3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

Time capsule: will it work wirelessly without disrupting my wireless system?

Time capsule: will it work wirelessly without disrupting my wireless system?

This type of setup is difficult, and not officially supported by Apple for good reason.
Before you attempt this, you should know that this type of setup will require a "double hop" wireless connection for backups.
In other words, for your Mac to back up, the wireless signal must travel from your Mac to your wireless router......hop one.....and then travel from the wireless router to the Time Capsule....hop two.
This doubles the chances of an error occurring and unfortunately also doubles the amount of time that it will take for a backup to occur.
I've tried this type of setup a few times as an experiment. It gives new meaning to word "SLOW".
In addition, the Ethernet ports are disabled in this type of setup on the Time Capsule, so it is not possible to use them for any purpose.
Bottom line....the fact that the Time Capsule can possibly be configured this way.....does not in any way imply that it should be configured this way.

Time Capsule doesn't work with proxy?

Hello! I have a Time Capsule working with an ethernet connection which is controled by a proxy server. I don't see the option to configure TC in order to download the .pac file, or to configure manually the proxy settings.
Therefore, the internet through TC doesn't work!
Anyone knows a solution?
Thanks

The blurb about Time Capsule not being compatible with some ISPs is no different from the same blurb that Apple has attached to the specs of all previous Airport base station products. So... if your ISP currently works with an older model Base Station, it will work with Time Capsule. ISPs that typically don't work are ones that use uncommon DSL communications or authentication protocols - often found in parts of Europe and the Middle East.
(Speculation on my part) Time Capsule will not function as a wireless client on an existing wireless network. Therefore, users of an existing wireless network will need to either (a) replace their existing wireless router with Time Capsule or (b) cable Time Capsule to their existing wireless router and disable the router built into Time Capsule. These are exactly the same options faced by previous purchasers of Apple's Airport base stations.

Time capsule wifi stops working with MacBooks, but nothing else

I have a newer model time capsule. Lately, the wifi stops working intermittently on my macbook pro and the wife's macbook air. While this is happening, our iphones and other peripherals have functional wifi. This resolves if I reboot the time capsule. Even more weird is that the 'guest network' on the time capsule will work fine while the main wifi network remains non-functional.
Fairly annoyed, please help

It isn't strange at all.. it is a feature of Lion.. totally unstable useless networking.. particularly wireless.
I would be very surprised if you came back and told me you were on Snow still.
If Lion was installed by upgrade, worse and worse.. clean install seems to reduce if not remove the issues.
So ring Apple .. keep annoyed at their new vista class OS. Did you turn that off and on again??
I can suggest a few things..
Short wireless and network names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Different name for 5ghz to stop band swapping.
Lock wireless to on a/n -b/g
Lock wireless channels.
Use wpa2 personal security only.. with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric.
Set dhcp to very short lease time.. 30min.. might help Lion to remember the name of the TC.. otherwise it suffers from early onset dementia and alzheimer's.

Network printing with time capsule doesn't work with OS X Lion

I have a canon printer which will print when it is set up and connected to my imac. However when it is set up and connected to time capsule it will not print. It thinks it has completed the job but it hasn't.
I think that this may have something to do with OS X Lion.
The printer is just new, I bought it as the old one was playing up - I had been unable to get the old one which was connected via the time capsule to print since installing OS X Lion but never put two and two together - I just assumed the the printer had eventually died! So I bought a new one! It seems to set up OK as it is recognised as being attached to the timecapsule but there is no out put.
Does anyone have any ideas as how to sort this out?

Solved (apparently): After reinstalling, iTunes 10.5 beta 3 appears to work.

Canupus 110 video convertor will it work with Tiger and i Movie HD 5 or 6.

I am going to buy a video convertor box for my i Mac G5. I am just having way to much probloms with my Director's Cut 2. I got my Mac Christmas and it came with Tiger already built in. I am wondering will the Canupus 110 work with i Movie HD and Tiger thanks.

Hi C
Sorry You had to wait. Took a while to make a test environment (iLife6 was
late).
Now I've tested my Canopus ADVC-300 (have no 110) and Mac OS X.4.5
QT 7.0.4 and iMovie 6.0.1.
Result: Worked like a Charm.
If You consider buying a new one. Look at the 300 - and more so if You have
old VHS or other analog tapes. They often have drop-outs and I get the
feeling of that this one fix it one way or another. I'm very impressed.

Time Capsule and iTunes working with external HDD

Hello all.
I have a situation I would to share with you and see if there is a solution.
I have a PC and a Macbook Air. I had a Time Capsule which had my iTunes library but the drive failed and I lost everything. However when it was running things weren't going great. Because the Time Capsule was a bit clever, it only spun the HDD when TIme Machine was backing my MBA.
This meant that I had trouble accessing my iTunes library because it wasn't always available. So I would have to locate the library on most occasions and on even more occasions iTunes lost the links with my media files and had to go through the time consuming 'Find files' process.
I was wondering if an answer to my problem would be to store all my music and other media on an external HDD (like the GoFlex). The I could plug it into my PC, then my MBA and if I wanted to make it avable to both I could plug it into Time Capsule and it would 'broadcast' it to both.
I was wondering if anyone had tried this and how it worked, Would iTunes see the HDD plugged directly into the MBA as the same as the HDD being plugged into the Time Capsule?
I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Airport time capsule will not communicate with apple tv

I have just purchased the new AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE...it will not communicate with my APPLE TV..

Is the Time Capsule the only wireless router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem (and not another router) via Ethernet? Is the Apple TV in the same room, different room, or different floor from the Time Capsule?

My Time Capsule will not work through Time Machine but need to back up because my hard drive is corrupt. I hard-wired it to my MacBook Pro and have been dragging files to capsule in finder window. Will I have problems since it's flashing yellow constantly

My Time Capsule is constantly flashing yellow and it will not preform periodic back-ups. When I tell it to from the icon on the top task bar, it freezes MacBook...every time. I am now dragging files from internal HD to TC found in Finder after hardwiring it to laptop treating it as an external HD. Can in trust it to store files and photos as my MacBook is telling me to back-up because my internal HD is corrupt and may need replacing?
Thanks in advance.

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.

Time Capsule as Wireless HD with TIGER

I have TIGER, and just got the Time Capsule. I understand that if I want to use Time Machine, I have to have Mac OS 10.5. 2 or higher. Now, I simply want to use TC as an external wireless hardrive, and put all my iTunes, movies, etc., onto it. But how do i do that? It's up and running (I have internet access), but can't seem to figure out how to start loading files onto it. PLEASE HELP?!

We're using Tiger (or earlier) on all our Macs. To use Time Capsule as a wireless HD, go to Applications--->Utilities--->Airport Disk Utility. Select "Automatically Discover Airport Disks" and "Show Airport Disks in Menu Bar".
Once you have your Time Capsule as a volume on your desktop, you create new file folders to your heart's content and then just drag and drop your files.
I haven't tried this, but I suppose you could move your iTunes libraries to the Time Capsule, too, so that all your downloads go there instead of to your Mac's hard drive.

New time capsule doesn't work with ethernet

I'm using a new time capsule,for the first backup I'm trying to use ethernet but loose the data disc when wifi is turned off. The ethernet light is green on the time capsule and the computer ethernet is also giving a green; but no action without wifi; any ideas?

Please open the network preferences and check that the ethernet has the correct IP from the TC and can get internet as well. Turn on ipv6 as this seems to be an issue in the new version.. it doesn't matter if it is only Mac to TC.. it seems to help.
If you keep having issues.. reset the TC and make sure it has all naming following SMB type conventions..
ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
In the finder.. use go, connect to server.. and type in
SMB://TCname
Where you replace the TCname with the actual TC name you just gave it.
Do a reset of TM and try again for location of the backup with the disk which should now be discovered.
Tell us the point where you have issues if it fails.

Time capsule don't work with Canon PIXMA ip4850?

I have a Time capsule (third generation) and a new Canon PIXMA ip4850.
When I connect the priner directly to my MBP I can print without problems.
But when I connect the printer with the TC USB port, then the TC can't find the printer.
Can somebody help me? Is this printer not compatible with the TC?
Because with my old Brother printer I've had no problmes to print with the TC...the TC found the printer once I connected him with TC USB port
Rgds

Unfortunately, this would indicate that the Time Capsule does not support this Canon model.
You might try the Canon support site to see if they have any newer drivers available for download that might do the job. Apple also has updates from time to time, so a future update might incorporate this model.
Since Canon supplies the drivers to Apple, you might also want to ask Canon if they plan to provide the drivers for this model for the Time Capsule.

Time Capsule. Will it work with TIGER? Boot-Camp?
