Time Capsule with Apple Care?

Hey guys,
My girlfriend bought a mac three months ago along with the extended apple care. For her birthday, Im thinking of getting her a time capsule so she has everything backed up. I read on the time capsule site that it is covered under a mac warranty but I am a little confused by the wording.
Will the time capsule I buy next month, be covered by the apple care that she currently has on her mac? (Runs out Nov 2014)
Thanks

I don't claim to be an expert on that subject, but as I understand it, a Time Capsule bought with a Mac that has AppleCare will be covered by AppleCare.  I"m not sure that applies to a Time Capsule bought later.  In any case, the one-year warranty would apply.

  • I set up my Time capsule with Apple Care

    And i'd make a mistake about my password, because I had to it in one second. How I can find my password?

    There is no applecare on the TC directly.. it is covered by applecare on the computer or device like ATV can cover it.
    If you set a password and lost it, the easiest thing is to just do a soft reset.. ie hold reset for one second.. and all passwords revert to default for 5min to allow access.

  • Is it possible to use Time Capsule with Apple TV? Without having our macbook pro, iPhones or iPads as middle link?

    Hi there.
    I wanted to buy a time capsule - But my big question is : Is it possible to use the time capsule with Apple Tv ( Newest generation.) without having an Iphone, Ipad or mac as middlelink?
    So if I example want to have all our music and dvds on the Time Capsule and watch/hear it on my TV. Do I have to have one of our macbook pro's started up to get it to work?
    Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.. ? Hehe.
    Best Regards
    Christian

    But then I can have all dvds and music on a time capsule and then run it via itunes on my mac and from there to the apple tv
    Yes, if you move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule.
    But.....if you move the iTune Media Folder to the Time Capsule.....how are you planning to back up this important data? 
    (You will lose everything in the Media Folder when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you do not have a backup copy.)
    A much safer plan would be to keep the iTunes Media Folder on your Mac.....or add another hard drive connected to the Mac and move the Media Folder to that drive.
    Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and and hard drive.  So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.

  • Connecting to time capsule with apple tv

    I am trying to figure out how to access the content on my time capsule with my apple tv.

    I assume that you have your iTunes Media folder located on the Time Capsule.
    If so, enable Home Sharing on the iTunes host computer. Do the same for the Apple TV and the media folder content on the TC will become available.

  • Using time capsule with apple tv

    How do I set up my time capsule to work with apple tv w/o partitioning... Drop and drag.

    TC and Apple TV do not work together at all.
    Apple TV is totally linked to itunes..
    TC is not a media server... it is a dumb hard disk in a router.
    TC cannot play files to the ATV.. ATV cannot play files from the TC.

  • Time capsule and apple care?

    I bought a time capsule 2 months ago when I moved knowing I would buy a macbook, which I just ordered the other day.
    I noticed on the time capsule page that apple care for the mac covers the time capsule. Will it still cover it even though I bought the time capsule before I bought the macbook?

    call em and ask...but I doubt it.

  • Time Capsule with Apple TV - Connectivity problem

    I excanged my Airport Extreme to a Time Capsule. I copied all settings of the Air port Extreme as suggested by the installation process of the time capsule. Now my Apple TV does not work with eathernet anymore. Apple TV shows that it has a connection but the port on time capsule where the cable is connected to Apple TV is not illuminating. What is the problem?

    You need to tell us a bit more..
    But the whole network should be..
    Modem---TC in router mode .. wireless and wired clients.
    or
    Modem/Router----TC in bridge mode... wireless and wired clients.
    How was the Airport setup?
    I recommend you redo the setup and not use the setup from the airport. Start again and run the setup so you have the TC in the right mode.
    If you use Lion.. download and install the 5.6 airport utility (just ignore v6.. the two can live side by side).. 5.6 is a real utility.. a tool. .v6 is a toy.

  • Time capsule with modem in different room

    Hi everyone
    I am interested in getting a Time Capsule for backing up my files seeing as i do my work on my macbook pro.
    I am also interested in it for watching my movies off of the time capsule with apple tv.
    So here is what i am wondering. I use fibre op, and have a cords coming in my room. The modem on the other hand is out in another end of the house. Can i simply hook my time capsule up through the fibre op ethernet in my room and have my time capsule working off it for back-ups and working with my apple tv from in the room, or do i need to physically have the time capsule plugged in to the modem itself? if so that kind of ***** having to have my stuff all hooked up in the living room when i use it all in my room, i would much prefer have everything working properly in the room i work in. Moving the modem in to this room would not be an option as i would have to have the provider come in and re-do everthing to get it in here.
    So can i hook the time casule up to the ethernet port in my room and it all work fine and dandy? or do i need to have it hooked up to the modem out in the living room?
    thanks!

    If you can plug your computer into the ethernet port in your room and be connected to your modem then you should be able to do the same thing with the Time Capsule - which means you wouldn't need the modem and Time Capsule in the same room.

  • I have a Time Capsule with the internal disk drive. I have copied my photos and music to the internal drive. Is it possible to access the photos etc. using my Apple Tv to see it on my TV, iPads etc? on my home WIFI.

    I have loaded my Time Capsule with my photos, videos, music etc. I want to access these using my Apple TV on my home WIFI for display on my tv's, and Ipads, Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I can do it by access to my Macbook but that's not always convenient.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • Apple TV and Time Capsule with 5ghz

    Hi.
    I have an Apple TV 3rd. generation and a Time Capsule with 2.4 / 5 ghz wifi capability.
    I was wondering that if I connect the Apple TV using the 5ghz network I could improve the speed of download in particular to contents in mi iMac that is connected to the time capsule too.
    Using the traditional wifi 2.4 ghz I can  access my itunes network on the Apple TV.
    But when I switch to the 5GHZ network, I can´t.
    Why?
    Any help please!
    Regards, Edgardo

    5 Ghz may help avoid interference, but it also has shorter range, it depends on the circumstances surrounding your location whether it's a better option or not.

  • Network apple time capsule with other modem

    I am way over my head here.  I am trying to figure out how to "bridge" my new apple time capsule with my ATT Uverse Modem.  I have the time capsule primarily for backup, but it serves a wireless function as well does the ATT Uverse Modem.   Someone did this for me in the past, but my Time Capsule died, and I disconnected it.  I can not figure out how to wire it all back together.  Is there a diagram out there?

    Plug the TC into a computer.. complete isolation from the network.
    Open the airport utility.
    Put the TC in bridge mode.
    Go to the wireless page and setup wireless .. create a wireless network. I recommend you do roaming network and so space the TC and the uverse modem by a few feet.
    But it is up to you.. you can use a completely different network name and security if you want.

    Although the article is for multiple apple routers it will be fine with 2 different routers.
    Only I would set fixed wireless channels.

  • I have a time capsule with a ton of media on it. Will Apple TV recognize and play the media files without itunes?

    I have a time capsule with all my mdeial files. Will apple TV play the amedia files with out a need for pc or Itunes?
    Thank you in advance

    rfromla jolla,
    What I'm hearing now is that any NSA still needs some iTunes interface to "go through".  I'm going to use iTunes on my iMac as the pass through.  I keep it running just about all the time.
    You can use the little Apple Mac mini fine.  If I were rich I'd do that.....
    Oh well.....

  • Time Machine set up on Time Capsule with data already on it

    I've had a Time Capsule for a while, using it with my Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4. I put a lot of data on it including my entire iTunes library. I just got a new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5. Now I want to set up Time Machine. Can I do this on a Time Capsule with data already on it? I haven't given it a try because I don't have the data on the TC backed up (I know I need to fix that). TM won't require me to erase the volume first will it?

    I discussed this issue with Apple Care at one point in the past when I was considering doing something similar to you.  They informed me that Apple does NOT recommend or support using Time Machine over a network (ethernet) connection.  They said Time Machine was not designed for it.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

    You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
    You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.
