I have a iMac 5,1 made b/t 7/23/07-7/29/07 but have OS X 10.6.8 w/ 2GB mem but unable to install Maverick, Garage band and iPhoto. Would installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8 make it possible to install Maverick? Please help. Thanks!

The highest OS X version you can install on your model iMac is OS X Lion 10.7.5.
To get to this! you would need to purchase the retail OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD, first.

OS X 10.7 Lion is no longer available, directly, from the Mac App Store. You need to contact Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE and ask for retail software sales and tell them you would like to upgrade your Mac to OS X 10.7 Lion and they will give you a special download code to download it from the Mac App Store.

Time Capsule as main router? PLEASE HELP!!!

hi,
i have had a time capsule for about 6 months and have been using it happily. but what i want to do is use this time capsule to replace my sky router. can you actually do this or am i just dreaming? i have tried and tried to do this but seem to get no where fast can someone spend the time and tell me in lames terms how to do this. or a website as i for some reason cannot do this. am i having wrong cables plugged in at wrong times or what.
basically what i want to do is use the time machine feature and for it to backup costantly but i dont want my time capsule and my router running at the same time to save electricity can you do this?
hopefully you get what i mean.
PLEASE HELP

This is a question that is asked during setup by AirPort Utility, but it would not apply in your case, since if you "replaced" the gateway you have (which is a combination modem/router...not simply a router....), you would not have any modem functionality. Your Time Capsule not be able to connect to the Internet.
It may be confusing because 5-6 years ago, everyone used a separate modem and router to connect to the Internet. Some manufacturers began to build device with both a modem and router in the same box. Sky is one of these manufactuers.
The Tme Capsule a a router only with a built in hard drive for backups. It does not have a modem built in.
To connect to the Internet with a Time Capsule, you need a minimum of two devices....a modem and the Time Capsule. Your Sky router is performing the function of a modem for you. If you turn off the Sky device to "save electricity", the Time Capsule will flash amber and you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Give it a try if you wish. You will see that this is true.

Installing Time Capsule on MacBook Pro w/malfunctioning CD player

I recently purchased a Time Capsule for my daughter who has a MacBook Pro with malfunctioning CD player (long story). Is there anyway of installing the setup software from the web or support site?

if your daughter's Mac is on the same network as yours, you could use *remote install* to install the setup software on her machine.
click here and follow the instructions.
or, you could enable *remote disc* on your machines with the same result. see this:
The CD/ROM in my computer busted, so I decided to try to remotely mount the CD from another computer on mine. I know the MacBook Air can do this, so I reasoned that any Mac could. It turns out it is possible, but the solution is far from obvious -- after much searching, I found the solution here.
Here's a quick synopsis. Go to System Preferences » Sharing, and enable 'DVD or CD Sharing.' (I think you need to do this on both machines -- the one with the drive and the one without the CD/ROM drive). Then, on the computer that does not have the CD drive on it, go to a Terminal window and enter:
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
$ defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
Reboot this machine, and when the reboot is finished, you'll see the remote CD/DVD under Devices in the Finder's sidebar. Thereafter, you can remotely mount a CD/DVD from another machine.

After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Many problems after installing Time Capsule

I am not sure if this is the correct forum. I posted it on the iCloud forum, but think it belongs here. I wasn't able to move it.
Here is my story:
Where do I start!
MacBook Pro ~2009
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
About the time I installed Time capsule, I started to have the following problem. At fist, i thought the problem as iCloud.
Here is my problem:
1. Can't get iCloud email on my Mac [I can ob my iPhone 4S]
2. I keep getting an error accessing any website: Safari can't verify the identity of the website... This includes Apple.com
3. In my Key Chain, the passwords for Me.com are long apparently random numbers.
4. I can't access any iCloud email from my iCloud that was associated with my ME account. I hahe a secondiCloud account which appears fibe.
5. I can't even open iCloud on Safari. As soon as iCloud shows up on the screen, It says that iCloud had unexpectidly stopped.When i hit the reload option, the error message returns... over and over.
6. When i tried to opem iCloud on Google Chrome, I get a HUGE error message on a red page saying "The server's certificate is no valid!"
There are probably more symptoms that occured, but I am so frustrated I may have forgotten.
Oh yeaf, a week ago I got a new Apple Time Capsile 2T
Maybe it's not iCloud?!?
EDIT: THis did not happen when I first got the TIme Capsule. It started 2 days ago. I also got a message about setting up Back To My Mac, but I only have one Mac [I don't mean that having multiple Macs is an asperation, because I am thourily pleased having "just one Mac", and an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3; That's quite a blessing!]
MacBook Pro, iOS 5.1.1

Easy like beauty when it comes to Networking is in the eye of the beholder.
Your issue is probably double NAT.. the TC should have thrown up warning messages.
On lion
Step one.. install 5.6 utility. And use that exclusively.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
It will be familiar if you used any previous version of airport utility.
Open the manual setup.. go to Internet tab.. go to connection sharing at the bottom..
The TC must be set to off bridge mode. If not, select that and update the TC.
Now everything is going to totally mess up.. don't worry.. start again by rebooting the entire network.. ie everything off.. not sleep.. not semi-consious.. off. Restart in order.. with 2 min wait.. Modem.. router.. TC.. other network rubbish.. (if you have switch and the like).. clients.
Now try again with emails etc.
I am hopeful.

Forgot partition after installing time capsule.

I installed Time Capsule on my airport.
I did not realize that I had to make a partition first, as it is now using my full 2 TB.
What should I do now as I only want 500GB to use for Time Capsule and the rest as hard disk.
Please advice next steps.
Thanks in advance

Guy,
Here is a link on how to limit the size of your TM backup.
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071108020121567
This may be a better option than creating a disk image for your data.
I think I'll try this myself with my TM backup.

First timer. Just installed Time Capsule. The first backup looks like it will take two days at the pressent speed. Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up continue, and can I unplug and plug in at work without affecting the backup?

I'm a first timer on this (or any) help site. I just installed Time Capsule. The first backup looks like it will take two days at the present speed. Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up continue, and can I unplug tomorrow and plug in at work without affecting the backup?

Hi Oneinspirit,
Time Machine backups can be paused by choosing "Stop Backing Up" from the Time Machine icon on the right hand side of your menu bar ( ). Once you're ready to resume the backup, you can choose "Back Up Now" from the same icon.
Start a backup: Click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar, then choose Back Up Now.
Pause a backup: Click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar, then choose Stop Backing Up.
OS X Yosemite: Start, pause, and resume a Time Machine backup

I can't see my network Printers when i installed Time Capsule

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I had a wireless network using my NetGear router so i can share internet and two network printers. The network printers are connected to the router using ethernet wires. Now that i installed Time Capsule i can't get the Network Printer to print.

I did what you said, made sure that both network printers where turned on connected to TC and ready to print, then i opened my system Preference, Print & Fax, i removed my two printers that where there before and working, then hit the plus sign, add printer, here's what's different, my MacBook Pro, under AppleTalk and one of my printers can up and it now works but the other didn't. So on my iMac i tried the same thing but no printer showed up under AppleTalk, i did find the two printers under "Default" and Bonjour was under "kind" i said install to both and it did. I just tried printing to both printers and now i have two bouncing printer icons on my doc with a massage " Attempting to connect to host 192.168.1.10" for one of the printers and the second "Attempting to connect to host XRX92CABD.local." i'm starting to think that i didn't set up the TC correctly or i have some option in TC setup wrong.

Installed Time Capsule, now want to delete/clean files from mac mini HD, is there an easy way to do this?

I've installed Time Capsule and using Time Machine backed up all my files from my Mac Mini (mid 2010) and verified they're there, now, as nervous as I am to do this, I want to clean/delete all the files on my mac mini hard drive, is there an easier and faster way than just moving to trash and deleting them? Looks like that can take hours.
My intention is to use the Time Capsule as a Hard drive so I can clean my Mac Mini hd since it was reaching capacity.
Thanks!

Ok, I just googled how to format my external hard drive to Mac OS extended (Journaled), no problem, understood.
Bear with me, I'm not too computer savvy, then connect to my mac mini, copy all my files to that ext. hd, then in system pref for the TC don't add to exclude?
I don't think I want to keep that also permanently connected to TC as then I'm backing two hardrives?

Problem installing time capsule

Installing time capsule for the first time and get a flashing amber light, airport utility cant find the device - any help?

If you haven't already, connect directly to the TC using ethernet. Then try the utility again.. if it still fails, turn off wireless in the computer and make sure there is nothing else connected.. ie this is off the network.. one computer one TC.. nothing else. If you still have issues press the reset again and let it go back to factory defaults,, it should then be found.. if it fails, check the ethernet cable, connectivity leds, or use a different computer.
