Using Time Capsule with Windows Vista

I updated my TC, and it is working well with the internet as a router. However, I am having problems finding the TC as a hard drive on my computer. I did not have this problem before the update, and please no harassment about using Microsoft.
Any help here?

Yep, this seems to be a common problem from what I have seen on the forums and from my own personal experience.. it works fine on my mac, but my girlfriend can no longer access the files from her windows PC. I had to downgrade back to 7.3.2.. Hopefully this is fixed soon.

  • How to use my time capsule with windows vista

    i have a 2tb time capsule iphone 3gs appple tv and a ipad 2 the wife and kids have iphone 3gs and 4 and id like to set up a home network for us all to use and share music and photos is this possible

    Sorry the title never gets into detail at any point.. no vista computer is listed.
    Access the vista computer to TC turn on the guest network and allow full read write access. Make sure you have the workgroup set correctly. There are issues sometimes on the windows side but try that.
    As for using the TC as a file store.. well it isn't a good idea. It is a backup device.. which has no ability to back up itself. There is no mirrored disks and one day it will die and you can say bye bye to your precious photos and music. You can work your way around the issue.. sure.. in the end you will need an alternative backup on a computer.. that alternative backup will then be backed up to where??
    If you must run your itunes and iphoto library on the TC just read about how to set up the libraries in network location. Google will find the posts.

    You perhaps should read all the other posts about why not.. as well as how to.

  • Use Time Capsule with Windows-based Computers and PowerLan Devices

    Hi All -
    I would like to inquire whether I can:
    1) use a Windows-based conputer to access the internal hard disk of Time Capsule; and
    2) connect the Time Capsule with prower lan devices (e.g. Aztech) to extend the wirless coverage.
    Thank you.
    Gary

    Yes.. but.. Long term storage of info is not really wise where you have no backup. TC is not able to back itself up and you will have issues finding anything but manually doing it from windows.
    What windows version?
    Have you installed the airport utility? That makes life much easier, as it adds bonjour for windows and a disk access agent.
    Simply installing the utility may be enough. If not open windows explorer and type the name or IP directly into the address bar.
    Note.. you should use all names on the TC that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where you obviously change to real name (no spaces of course) or IP)
    If you still have issues.. check that you can ping the TC.. and make sure firewalls are not blocking it and your PC is located HOME, not WORK or PUBLIC.

  • Use Time Capsule with Windows

    Hey,
    I have an older PC with 80GB and want to move all the stuff (pics, videos) to my new Time Capsule.
    Is this possible?

  • Using Time Capsule with Windows 7. Won't work when modem connected directly to Time Capsule, must be connected through another router.

    Apple Time Capsule working with Windows 7 PC will not work when modem is connected directly to the Time Capsule.  Only when a Cisco Linksystem is connnected inbetween the modem and the Time Capsule.

    Sorry but it needs much more specific info than this..
    What modem? Is it cable or adsl or some other?? Is it pure modem or broadband router included?
    Cable has specific issues different to adsl.
    If you used to use the Cisco/linksys router.. and have not reset the cable modem it will not work. Turn off the cable modem.. it must be powered down.. if battery backup drop out the battery. Remove the coax cable.. get it off. Power down everything else in the network.
    Plug in the modem to the TC wan port.
    Power up the modem.. wait 2min
    Power up the TC.. wait 2min
    Power up the clients.
    If it has worked you will now be able to open the airport utility on the windows computer and see the TC has a public ip on the WAN port. If not redo the whole thing but leave the modem off.. 15min.. 1 hour.. 1 day.. ring the cable company and ask them to reset. Usually a few minutes is enough.
    If you have a modem with combined router.. then bridge the TC. Just google search it.
    For other combos.. tell us specifics..

  • Can we use Time Capsule with Windows?

    We set up a new Time Capsule today and both our Macs have Internet access through it, but not our Windows laptop. What do we need to do? 

    Make sure you have the airport utility for windows installed.. it is not much use with the latest AC model airports but does load bonjour for windows.
    In the Mac, redo the setup of the TC.
    Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. ie TCgen5 good base station name.
    TC24ghz and TC5ghz for wireless.. I strongly recommend you use different names for the two bands.. at least to troubleshoot.
    Use no security for a test. If windows cannot connect to 2.4ghz change the channels and try 11, 6, 1 in that order.
    Once you have it working add security.. WPA2 Personal with a 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.

  • Cant log in to time capsule with windows vista computer

    Hello lascall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    See if the following resolves your Vista access issue with the Time Capsule:
    o From the Vista desktop, click Start
    o Search for: security
    o Click 'Local Security Policy'
    o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    o Click OK

  • Using Time Capsule with Windows XP

    Hi, I have just setup a TimeCapsule in my home, where I have Verizion FiOS with an Actiontec Wireless router.  I have set up ther Time Capsule in bridge mode.  Everything is working well.  I can connect to either the Verizon Router wireless network or the Time Capsule wireless network from my Windows laptop and from my Macbook Air and get to the Internet. 
    Problem: Airport Utility (Version 5.5.3) which I have installed in my Windows XP laptop cannot discover the Time Capsule. I get an error message: "Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport Wireless devices".  I would like to set up backup to Time Capsule from my Windows Laptop.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank for any help you can provide.

    Plug in via ethernet..
    If you still cannot find the TC.. press and hold the reset for 10sec until the front led flashes rapidly.
    The TC then has to show up.. but if not, you need to isolate the TC from the rest of the network.. so on the laptop is plugged into a LAN port.. and laptop has no other connection. .Make sure the laptop is set to auto IP and gets 10.0.1.x ip address.
    Then you should be able to access the TC.
    Give it short SMB names.. both TC and wireless. no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    You should probably also set fixed channels..
    For disk access turn on guest account to read and write.. and set workgroup correctly in file sharing area.

  • Can i use time capsule with iphone

    TC is not designed for ipad or iphone or any iOS device.
    You should use them with cloud if you want remote access to your data do it via cloud.. you cannot easily get remote access to the TC from iOS device.

  • I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

    I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

    I don't think backup is supported but you may be able to access the TC's internal drive, from the iPhone, with an application like: NetPortal
    Note: I haven't actually tried this app, so if someone else has and was successful in accessing the TC's drive they can certainly chime in.
    Follow-up. Just downloaded and installed this app ... and I can now verify that it, indeed, can access both my TC's internal and externally attached USB HDD.

  • Can I use time capsule with a ASUS (RT-N16)router?

    I will use a router with vpn. Can I use time capsule with it? And if yes, how do I connect them?

    There is no vpn built into the native firmware of N16 so I presume you are going to use third party.
    Just plug in the TC and bridge it.. ie go to Internet tab of airport utility and select connection sharing off.
    wireless then you will need to figure out.. you can setup roaming on 2.4ghz by using identical wireless name = ssid and security but lock both to different channels.. pick out of 1, 6, 11
    In a PC network make sure you use the TC with a new name.. no spaces no special characters.. same with wireless. TC also restrict wireless on 2.4ghz to only 20mhz.. if you have the N16 set to 40mhz you will have to be extra careful with channels.. 40mhz will use up two channels and only one remains.. so your household will have filled the 2.4ghz.
    Someone suggested you can turn off 2.4ghz in the TC by not naming it.. When I try that it kicks up an error that it has to be named. So perhaps someone else has a suggestion of how to turn off 2.4ghz.
    You can turn off 5ghz by unchecking it. Seems mighty strange that you cannot turn off 2.4ghz but you can turn off 5ghz.

  • Can I use time capsule with a USB cellular modem?

    Can I use time capsule with a USB cellular modem?

    No, since the USB port on the Time Capsule will only support a compatible printer and/or hard drive.

  • Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

    Can I connect and use Time Capsule with two printers?

    Sure, if the printers connect using the Ethernet port, you have 3 ports on the Time Capsule.
    If the printers connect using wireless only, the Time Capsule will support up to 50 connections.
    If your printers connect using USB, then you will need a powered USB hub. Something like this, for example:
    Dynex 4Port USB 2.0 Hub DX-THUB16 - Best Buy
