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.

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 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.

Time capsule with no internet connection

I have an internet connection through a wireless router that is set up off site. I need to use the time capsule to back up but I have no way of physically connecting the capsule to the internet. Is it possible to back up wirelessly?

Clint,
I have the older airport extreme model and I've attached a usb hard drive to serve as our backup drive
Is this the "round" AirPort Extreme? If yes, the USB port only supports printing from compatible printers.
Even if you have the newer version of the "square" AirPort Extreme, Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the device, so I can't recommend that you even consider this.
If you want to use Time Machine to backup, you'll need to attach the drive directly to the computer, or consider a Time Capsule.

Time Capsule and Windows XP connectivity problems

I installed Windows XP on my Mac Book and use Boot Camp to run a Windows program I need for work. It worked fine until I updated to Time Capsule 802.11n. Now I am not able to connect to my network with the Windows portion. I believe I have SP2 installed. Any suggestions? The Mac side works fine.

Can you please let us know what you've attempted so far and it has failed? Have you already installed Airport Utility on your XP computer?

Time Capsule and Vista (HD connection problem)

Hi, I've read all posts with lots of people trying to use TC and Vista, tried all suggestions, but still stuck.
The "router" part is working great, I have TC connected to my desktop (Vista Ultimate 32bits) wired, and wireless working fine.
But for some reason I can't connect to TC HD. it says I have to enable NETBIOS. I already did this (properties on tcp/ip), but no luck.
any other suggestion?
tks.

Hi All, just to contribute here my solution for this.
after making sure the computer browser services was up, I opened the networking and sharing center, clicked on the "view status" of the connection, and then on the "properties" in the new window that opened.
Then I added 3 things there (was not there by default, don't know)
+ Link Layer Topolgy Discover Mapper I/O Driver
+ Link Layer Topology Discover Responder
+ Client for Microsoft Networks
After that, worked like a charm. Now I'm trying to use TC with Account Access, w/o success (if I put disk password goes fine).
hope this helps

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.
Password recovery here.

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.

Time Capsule with new MacBook Pro

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro and synced it with my old computer. How do I get it to connect to my Time Capsule to pull old files? It wants to start a new library under the new computer, but I need files from my old computer on my new one.

From your profile.
Your old TC.. is more than old.. it is ancient.
Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Gen),
I mean like seriously from bygone era.. and very likely to not appreciate even more load than it already has. I hope you are planning for what happens when it finally bites the dust.. they tend to go rapidly .. like one day it works.. next it is over.. all over.
I am looking at the option of picking up a new USB 3.0 external drive (e.g. Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB or Slim 500 GB) and plugging it into the (unused) USB port of the Time Capsule for my MBP Time Machine backup. Will this work?
Yes it will.. but slow.. very very slow.
I imagine that MBP Time Machine setup will show 2 drives to back up to and I would simply select the second/USB drive as backup.
Correct.
If this setup works, I am also wondering if I should do the initial backup via USB 3.0 without the Time Capsule intermediary to speed up the process. My Time Capsule doesn't sport a USB 3.0 port, but the new MBP and USB drive will.
Sadly no, that is not possible.. Time Machine does not work the same way on network drives cf local drives.. you just have to live with the very slow backup.
So of course this is also impossible.
Also, can I switch back and forth between using Time Machine using 1) Time Capsule with USB drive connected for wireless backups at home and occassionally plugging the 2) same USB 3.0 drive directly into the MBP for on the road backups?
But you can buy a second USB drive and take it with you.. you can setup two different locations for backups and TM will recognise when the USB drive is plugged in.
You could also use CCC and create a bootable drive image.. which will get you backup and running in a few minutes cf TM which can takes several hours of absolute brain beating. CCC backups means you are more likely to recover files than simply using one backup utility. You can also use CCC to the USB drive at home.. now and then.

Problems with printer and external HD connected via Time Capsule with Windo

Hello everyone!
In January I bought an iMac 27 "(OS version: OS X 10.6.2) and a week ago a Time Capsule 1TB.
I connected the iMac and a laptop with Windows XP SP3 both via ethernet to the TC, and to the USB port of the TC a USB hub to which I connected a Canon iP4200 and a LACIE 500GB HARD DISK.
I reformatted the hard disk file system to Lacie Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and installed MacDrive 8 in the laptop.
Now (after formatting the HD), with the iMac everything works: internet connection via ethernet or wireless, printing via ethernet or wireless as well as hard disk connection via ethernet or wireless.
Laptop, instead, is only able to connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless while it isn't able to see and use printer and external hard drive, even though I installed AirPort Utility for Windows!
The laptop also detects the AirPort disk of the TC but if I enter the (correct) password I get an error message!..
Please, somebody help me, I do not know what to do!
Thanks

Have you run Bonjour on the Win PC's? Do a search on the support page and there's a description on getting things up and running from a WinPC in a Mac environment.

Time Capsule with (2) AirPort Express connection problem

I have (1) Airport Time Capsule with (1) AirPort Express connected. I'm trying to connect another Airport Express but only get a yellow light on the 2nd Express. If I connect it with a ethernet cable I get a green light. How do I connect a 2nd Express?

The 2nd Express needs to be about the same distance from the Time Capsule as the 1st Express....and....it cannot be closer to the 2nd Express than it is to the Time Capsule.
The reason for this is that the Express will pick up the strongest signal and you want the Express to pick up the Time Capsule signal to be able to extend it.
Then, start over as LaPastenague instructs on the 2nd Express and configure it again.
