What all can I do with the time capsule using my ipad 3?

Wirelessly?

Basically nothing. ipad is not designed to use TC..
You can load a file app, eg filebrowser onto the ipad and read and write files off the TC.. that is about it.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • I can't connect with the Time Capsule.

    Hello everyone,
    Some years ago, I bought a Time Capsule. Until now, I didn't want to use it as an extern HD.
    So I tried today.
    I am using it for a year now, as main router. Several computers and iDevices are using it.
    Because I had forgotten some things - and I hadn't wrote it down - I decided  to reset it and configure it again.
    Since then, the internet has become slower - and I my Macbook pro can't connect to the Time Capsule's disk.
    In Finder's everything fine. Left, under 'Shared', I can see the Time Capsule as a HD.
    When I click on it, I see: "No Connection". Then I select "Connect As", and I fill in the Time Capsule password.
    It tries to connect a few minutes, but then I get the message:
    "The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
    In the Airport Utility, there's a green light.
    *My firmware has the newest updates
    *I am using Snow Leopard
    *I am using newest update of the Airport Utility
    *Since reset, internet's fine but a bit slower.
    Other Questions:
    *Can I use my Time Capsule for other things than only Time Machine (backup)?
    *Can I divide it in parts? (Backup, User)
    *Can I backup multiple devices on it? (Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air etc.)
    Hope you can help me!

    What actual model is the TC.. the A1xxx number from the rubber base mat???
    As they age they become unreliable. Some earlier and some at 3year mark.
    It greatly depends on the setup of the existing network.
    I would recommend a downgrade in the TC firmware.. as with Snow Leopard there is no advantage to you in the later firmware.
    Go to the airport utility and select firmware update.. hold down the option key when you make the selection and all the previous versions available for your model will come up. I recommend using 7.5.2
    Do another reset of the device. This time a full factory reset.. and start the configuration again.
    Ignore update to firmware requests.. turn off the reminder.
    Set all names to SMB standard. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. TC name, wireless names, hard disk name.
    For wireless I recommend you use wpa2 security with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric.
    Set to manual for radio channels and test 1, 6, 11 in turn for the best.
    Depending on the broadband you use, the TC must be in router or bridge mode.. tell us more if you need help for this.
    If you think the TC is slowing you down, do a test with direct connection to the broadband modem and give us the speed comparison.. direct and via the TC ethernet or wireless.. tell us which though.. wireless will always be slower than ethernet.
    If you have issues still with the hard disk it might need some work.. older models the disk might need to be erased .. please open any time machine backup and run a verify.

    Other Questions:
    *Can I use my Time Capsule for other things than only Time Machine (backup)?
    Yes, but the TC is designed primarily for Time Machine.. if you store files, there is no method in the TC to back up those files.. do not make them the only store.
    *Can I divide it in parts? (Backup, User)
    You cannot partition a TC .. not without removing the disk. You can create a disk image.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    *Can I backup multiple devices on it? (Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air etc.)
    You can use multiple devices with TM. Be aware you need lots of free space for this to be successful. So you need to add up the total you want to backup on each computer.. and at least double it.

  • How can I extend my wireless network with the Time Capsule?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and set it up, backed up all my data, etc. It is currently plugged in to my AT&T Uverse wireless router via a LAN CAT5e cable. I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it. And if possible, how so? Or does it ALWAYS have to be wired'connected to my router for the internet to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it.
    Sorry but no.  Extending using only wireless would require that the Time Capsule connect to another Apple router that is producing the wireless network.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple routers to be able to extend the signal wirelessly.

  • How can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data?

    how can i ensure that the time capsule back up all my data and no any data missed during the back up? becz i was backing up my mac to time capsule for the first time and it takes only 5 hourse for 279GB which is doesnt make sense
    any idea, how to ensure that all my data been backed up

    well this tells you why you are having issues.. since you have a filevault and unless you are logged on as that user TM has no way to backup the vault.
    so that is why the backup is so small.
    And you cannot remove the file vault because the disk is too small.. you are in catch 22..
    You cannot backup and you cannot remove the vault..
    Login as the user who has the file vault and copy the files off the computer to a directory on the TC.. Then just delete the files on the computer.. that will then allow you to remove the file vault.
    But never  will I ever use file vaults so I am being theoretical .. please read it up yourself.
    http://pondini.org/TM/25.html
    You are not doing the background reading you need to understand what you are doing..
    read the whole of pondini's info.. or at least skim it so you know what is there.
    Avoid like the plague file vaults..
    When disks go belly up, as they always do.. your files will be lost. Somewhere they need to be stored in the clear.. so why bother .. put better security on the computer and forget vaults.

  • How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

    How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

    MobileMe service is finished.. to get remote access to the Mac or TC you use iCloud account.. but that is for files.. not to access web cams.
    Without dyndns client in the TC, you can perhaps run dyndns on the computer or video recorder..many of these will have clients built into them.
    Even better get a static Public IP from your ISP.. that is the correct professional way to do it.
    Or you can use whatever broadband modem you have and remove the TC as the main router.. simply bridge it. Use your adsl router for connection. Almost all adsl have built in dyndns.
    Sorry your language is very hard to follow.. and I am sure you are finding my answers similarly difficult.
    Basically the TC is about the hardest device to setup because it is lacking important networking functions.
    Get a vpn router and use vpn connection is far superior to any other method. But you cannot do it with TC.

  • I have an older Macbook, and it has "n" wi-fi bt I need software to unlock it. It is supposed to come with the time-capsule but there is no software that I can find. Does anyone know were it is?  supposed

    I have an older white Macbook. It is supposed tohave "N" networking but needs to be unlocked. The software is supposed to come with the time-capsule, but I can not find it, also I checked with a friend who just bought an airport extreme and he can't find any software. Does anyone know where this software is located?

    I think you are looking for this: AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac - Apple Store (U.S.)

  • What is going on with the time capsule stock availability?

    I would please like some info on whats going on with the time capsule availibility issue.

    There has been a worldwide shortage of hard drives for the past few months due to flooding in Thailand....where a majority of hard drive manufacturers are located.
    It will take some time to get supplies back up to normal levels.

  • How can I use an USB contacted SC-Card at the time capsule via my iPad!

    I have a camera memory card with an USB-connector. In my holidays I want to store the pictures from the card to the time capsule.
    I want to use the ipad for remote access to the timecapsule. The pictures from the card should be stored at the TC.
    Is this possible with the time capsule and remote acces via iPad? Which app is required?
    Greatings from germany
    Tapsi-MD

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • TS2655 imac can no longer find the time capsule to add it...how do i fix this

    my imac can no longer find the time capsule....i had to delete the old network and re add the time capsule to create a new one and now the imac keeps searching for the base and cant locate it

    If you mean that Time Machine can't find the Time Capsule, I'd try using the Time Machine panel of System Preferences to redeclare your backup disk.  If that's not what you mean, please explain.

  • Is it possible to see what traffic my clients made on the time capsule?

    Hello!
    is it possible to see on my macbook what traffic my clients made on the time capsule?
    With airport utillity 6.2 i cannot see this!
    sorry for my english and thanks for help

    If you control-click on the Time Machine icon and select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" but don't see the other backups, try this: Look in the "sidebar" of a Finder window for your Time Capsule.  If you see it, select it, then look for the Time Capsule's disk (probably called "Data" if you didn't rename it).  Double-click that to mount it.  Now try again to control-click on the Time Machine Dock icon.

  • Is there a way to backup a PC with the Time Capsule?

    Is there a way to backup a PC with the Time Capsule?

    Yes, but unfortunately not with Time Machine. You could; however, use any PC backup product that supports network drives as a destination for their backups. One such product is Genie9's Genie Backup Manager Home.
    Genie9 offers a similar option for Time Machine for PCs, called Genie Timeline Home. It is advertised to support backups to "NAS and network storages," but several folks who have this reported that it wasn't able to backup to a Time Capsule. If you decide to give either Genie9 product a try, please be sure to give their trial versions a go to make it works for your situation.
