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 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.

  • 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??

  • 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.

  • Can i use time capsule without internet connection?

    I bought Time Capsule 4th Gen. 2Tb without knowig that it is a router. I already have Netgear N900, and I don't know if I can use them both together.  Currently, it looks like I cannot connect to Apple Time Capsule (ATC) without the internet connection.  I neither have to figure out how to use ATC without the internet, or figure out way to use both of the router at the same time.  Please help me with this problem.  This is my first MacbookPro, and everything is new to me.  I would appreciate any kind of help! Thank you!

    Ok .. this is pretty easy.
    You plug the WAN port on TC into the N900 LAN port by ethernet.
    Open the airport utility on the Mac.
    Simply allow it to automatically setup and it should select bridge mode.. if not just jump in at the end .. click on the edit under the summary and go to the network tab and select bridge.
    Then go to the wireless tab and make sure you are creating a wireless name.. you can give it the same name as the N900 same security same password.. this is called roaming network.
    Or use a different name.. use short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    I have given a different name to 5ghz.
    It will not matter which wireless you connect to but the TC is faster on the 5ghz for backups.

  • Time Capsule via Internet from Windows

    Frnds,
    I couldnt find solve for my problem. Could anyone help me, pls?
    I have TC. It work as router. TC connect via Ethernet cable. I want to connect to it from anyplace of the world via internet and use files on it. I switched on Share files in Airport Utility. I have stat IP. All should be work. But it is not working. When i check ports(137-139, 455) then i see that ports is closed. When i try to mapping ports then i have warning message that they is using and to turn it on i need to switch off Share files.
    I try to connect via FTP. I opened 21 port and it is realy open. But i still could not to connect.
    One more thing - i could to connect to TC via afp:// from Macbook. But i need to connect from other places using Windows.
    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.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/3178/how-to-connect-to-an-afp-server-fr om-a-windows-pc
    There are no AFP client support for windows available.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2627410?start=0&tstart=0
    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.

  • Connecting Macbook with Time Capsule via Ethernet

    Hello!
    I have a time capsule and a macbook. I used to backup my data with the time capsule via ethernet. Now there was an update to airport I guess and since then the menue to configure the time capsule looks different and now I have trouble finding out how to set up the connection between macbook and time capsule via ethernet. I dont want the WLAN to be used so I want the ethernet be the connecting part of both esp because i want to backup lots of data now but Im missing the setting that said use use time capsule via ethernet. I just dont know how to set it up now.
    I have the ethernet cable in the very left ethernet slot next to the reset button of the time capsule and its also plugged in to the ethernet slot on the macbook. But what are the settings for this connection.
    Can someone help please otherwise i think my 23GB backup will take 3 days...
    Thanks in advance
    Dine

    Open the network preferences and make sure the ethernet is getting an IP from the TC.. you do not need to change any settings .. all you need is network connection.. if the ethernet is working just turn off airport for the time the backup is going on. Once you turn off airport in the MBP the connection will be forced to ethernet. You can do it more correctly by rearranging the order of preference for network connection.. but for now.. just turn off airport.

  • 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

  • Can't back up MBA on Time Capsule using Time Machine Via Wifi

    Hi,
    I can't back up MBA on time capsule using Time Machine via wifi.  I bought the time capsule new Dec 2014.  I was able to backup for the 1st 3 days.  In less than a week time, a message came up every time I tried to back up: "Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to AirPort Time Capsule. The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or select a different backup disk".  So, there's been no backup at all for almost 3 weeks.  Wifi connectivity under Airport Utility is fine.  Green light on the time capsule is on etc.
    Please kindly advice what is going on with this time capsule wifi backup.  Do I have to connect the time capsule with MBA with a physical cable to perform this job?
    Many thanks in advance,
    On Ki

  • I already have a DSL gateway that is a wireless capable and is used as a router to set up my network. Do I have to use time capsule to connect to the internet, or can I use it to join my current network and use it as a backup disk?

    Yes, you can connect to your current router using Ethernet (highly recommended) or wirelsss only.

  • TS1253 I am connected to internet through  modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

    Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as  a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

    This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
    It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
    Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless.  Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
    Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
    In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
    The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
    So, do you really want to try this?  There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

  • How to use time capsule for wireless back-up but not internet?

    Hello,
    I have a tower and recently a laptop at work. The tower is connected to our local network with an ethernet cable and the laptop with wireless. So, the internet connection is fine for both.
    I was hoping to use my time capsule to do time machine backups on my laptop. Do you have any advice on how to configure this? I do not want to use the time capsule to extend my Internet, as I believe my work I.T. would prefer to handle all access to their  network.
    Perhaps there is some documentation about doing this that you could point me to? I have not been able to find it.
    Thank you for your help.

    Your original question was How to use Time Capsule for wireless back-up but not Internet?
    There is no reason for you to connect the tower....or anything else...using Ethernet if your goal remains that same as you stated.
    If you are asking if you can backup the Tower using Ethernet, and not wireless, then you can connect the tower to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....not the WAN port.
    Yes, it appears to work without plugging into my tower.
    Correct, it will work.
    I just have to select the network that it created. Of course, I have no access to the Internet while this is happening and it can not auto backup, unless I am on that wireless signal.
    As I stated, that is the downside to trying to back up without an Internet connection.  You have to establish another network...and backup over that network.
    If you are asking if you can stay connected to the work network while also backing up to your non-Internet "private" network, that is not possible.

  • Unable to connect to internet using time capsule

    Over the last couple of days I have run into a peculiar problem. I am able to connect to the internet when I connect the ethernet cable directly to my computer. Now when I use time capsule to connect wirelessly, the connection either does not get established or if it gets established fails after a few mins and I am unable to browse the internet. I have noticed this problem especially after Mac OSX 10.6.3 update. I did not have this issue earlier. I am not sure if this is the root cause but would surely like some help.

    This behavior may indicate that you are picking up wireless interference from cordless phones, another wireless network, security system or other electrical device. It's hard to pinpoint the exact cause.
    Suggest that you start by downloading iStumbler and using the application to display your signal strength and noise on your network. What values do you see for each of these?
    Also look at any other networks to see if they might be using the same channel or an adjacent channel as your wireless network. If so, change the channel on your wireless network so that it is as far away as possible from other networks.
    If you have cordless phones, turn them all off for at least an hour when you can to see if your network performance improves.
    Interference robustness often does more harm than good. Try turning it off. However, if you find that your network performs better with it on, that is an almost sure sign that wireless interference is occurring on your network.
    You won't be able to do anything about cordless phones at your neighbors (my neighbor...across the street...can knock me off my wireless network if he is in his front yard with his phone and it rings). Users far underestimate the effect that cordless phones have on their wireless networks.
    Post back with your findings when you have tried a few things.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.
