What is the actual speed at which the time capsule router can transmit?
I am consistently getting only 40% of the speed of my ISP when I use wireless via my time capsule vrs a direct connection to the isp modem. I would just like to know how fast the wireless can transmit? Is it the bottleneck, something else I should be doing, etc.?????
Welcome to the discussions!
The speed of your wireless network will depend on a number of interrelated factors. Some of them are:
1) How close your computer is to the wireless router
2) How many obstructions, walls, ceilings, etc there are between the computer and the wireless router
3) Wireless interference from cordless phones (could be your neighbors'), wireless security systems and other wireless networks near you in addition to a multitude of other possibilities listed in this Apple Support Document.
4) Alignment of the moon and planets
At 5 GHz, the Time Capsule can transmit a signal close to 300 Mbps and at 2.4 GHz, the Time Capsule can transmit a signal close to 130 Mbps
Hold down the option key on your computer while you click on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. Look for the Transmit Rate number. That is the theoretical speed at which your current connection is capable of operating. This number will change depending on the location of the computer in relation to the router. What are some of the Transmit Rate numbers that you see?

What is the time capsule's max wifi speed? e.g. 150mb
What is the time capsule's max wifi speed? e.g. 150mb
Depends on the model.
Latest Gen 4 are now 450mbps on 5ghz.. of course it will only get that with the right clients. Mostly you will get 300mbit if up close.
But all generations and all apple routers only support single channel on 2.4ghz so max speed is 150mbit..although the actual link speed is probably more like 130.

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and an Airport Time Capsule. The Time Capsule does not recognize my old iPhone, my old iPod Touch and my new MacBook Air. The old AirPort Extreme works perfectly on the network, so I know it's not my internet. It also recognizes all my devices by name and hooks them up to the internet. Is the Time Capsule broken or is there some secret trick I need to know to get it to work?
Ellen H.Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port. -
I get my internet from wifi and since hooking up the Time Capsule I can't get in internet
We get our internet from WI FI at our housing development and since hooking up my new time capsule yesterday and started the 2 day back up, I can't get online. I am not a real techno so a simple solution would be greatly appreciated! I hate to have to turn the capsule off most of the time as I like the fact that it does an auto back up. I just got the IMac a month ago and am new to Apple.
Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Check whether you have latest client RDP installed?
As it seems the issue happens after changing service provider. I would like you to check with internet provider whether there is restriction provided at their end or any port blocked from there end. Please recheck your firewall whether RDP port 3389 is opened.
What’s your client OS version?
Apart when you are trying to take remote desktop please try to use IP address rather than name and check the result.
More information.
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?

I currently use a Time Capsule for my wi-fi (2008). I would like to extend its range. While there are many boosters that can do the job, what is the best option? How is Airport Express as an option?
The Time Capsule (TC) can have its wireless network extended by another TC, an 802.1n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), or 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn).
If your TC is a simultaneous dual-band version, only another TC or AEBSn will be able to extend both radios. The AXn can only support one radio (2.4 or 5 GHz) at a time. -
I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal. In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook? Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad? -
Can the time capsule function like an external hard drive?
Can I place files there I want to archive but don't need access to everyday? I want to consolodate two older external drives that I have to the time capsule.
You can place files on the Time Capsule drive if you want, but there will be a conflict at some point in time if you are also using the Time Capsule for Time Machine backups.
Drives do have a way of filling up much faster than you expected.
If you plan to place "original" or "master" copies of data on the Time Capsule drive, you'll also have to figure out how to back up those files to yet another drive. Time Machine cannot do this. -
I connected an external hard drive to the Time Capsule but can't get it to work.
And are you using a powered USB hub? The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you almost always need to use a powered USB hub, even if the hard drive has its own power supply.

Access to the time capsule harddrive through internet.
Hi everyone,
I bought a few months ago a Time capsule and it is working perfeclty as a network and hard drive under. It is connected to the router unde a bridge mode.
My prooblem is coming when I want to access through internet with my Macbook to my time capsule as it is not possible but according the time capsule specification it is possible to have acces to the harddrive through internet. So it means I have to change soemthing in the setp up on the router (P-2812HNU-F1) or in the time capsule.
Can anyone help me to set up the time capsule and the router accordingly to be able to have acces to the harddrivethrough internet?
ThanksHave you tried using BTMM and iCloud method?
That is the only method Apple provisioned on the TC and apple network.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
If you are having issues you need to tell us more..
Sometimes it seems the TC in bridge will not work.. if that is the case, then you must see if you can rearrange your network so the TC is the main router.
Or you need to use a manual access method.
This requires using a static public IP (Check with your ISP.. this is by far the best method) or use a dyndns service.. and port forward 548 TCP to the TC.. there are thousands of posts and youtube videos with the info. Just look up "remote access time capsule"
This is a good post to start with.

Can I use the Time Capsule as a media server
As many, I have hundreds of CDs. I was hoping I could store all of my music on the time capsule as well as movies I have purchased and pictures, and use it as a media server. I've heard yes and no in other forums. Any ideas?
The Time Capsule is a dumb hard drive with no brains. It is not a media server and will not ever be one.
If you want to put your music and movies on the Time Capsule, you can do so, just like you could place them on any external hard drive.
But, you will need to have a DLNA server running somewhere else on your network to be able to do anything with the data on the Time Capsule.
Best to use the Time Capsule as it was designed and intended.....for backups....not any active or everyday files.
Speaking of backups, if you place your music and movie files on the Time Capsule.....how will you then back up those files to another hard drive? -
180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"
Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers. -
I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it. -
I am having problems with my First Generation Apple TV. My software is up-to-date. 3.0.2.
I download a movie and while watching in pauses and freezes for as long as a minute sometimes. I have already checked with my ISP regarding network issues. There are none. I can view trailers with no freeze or pause issues. Just the actual movie when I download. Is there something I am missing here?You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?

Hi ,
what r the diff. error that can be solved using RSRV tcode?
I want to know all the errors that can be solved using RSRV t code
if any body is having good document regarding RSRV please send it to me at
<u><b>[email protected]</b></u>
Thanx in advance,
ravi.Hi,
Refer the below links for more details about RSRV TCODE.
/community [original link is broken]
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/92/1d733b73a8f706e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
it's for bw objects consistency analysis and repair.
from transaction code RSRV doc itself :
Transaction RSRV: BW Data and Metadata Test and Repair Environment.
Transaction RSRV checks the consistency of data stored in BW. It mostly examines the foreign key relationships between individual tables in the enhanced star schema of the BW system.
The transaction interface was re-designed for SAP Portals release 3.0A. A brief guide about how to use the transaction follows.
Starting the Transaction
You can reach the test and repair environment
By entering the transaction code RSRV
From InfoObject maintenance (Transaction RSD1)
By clicking on the "Analyze" button in the intial screen.
After selecting a characteristic in the maintenance screen via the "Processing -> Analyze InfoObject" menu option.
The Initial Screen
When using the test and repair environment for the first time, the message "Values were not found for all setting parameters" draws your attention to the fact that there aren't any saved settings for your user.
After confirming the dialog box, you reach the initial screen of the transaction. This is divided into two parts:
1. On the left-hand side, you can see a tree structure with the pool of available tests.
2. The right-hand side is empty at first. The tests you have selected will be put here. A selection of tests is called a Test Package here.
Combined and Elementary Tests
An Elementary Test is a test that cannot be divided into smaller tests and that can therefore only be executed as a whole.
In this regard, a Combined Test determines which elementary tests are to be executed after entering the parameters. You can remove individual elementary tests from the test package before carrying out the actual test run, in order to reduce run time, for example.
Combining a Test Package and Executing it.
Firstly select one or more tests with drag&drop or by double-clicking. Each selected test appears as a closed folder in the view of your test package. (An exception is elementary tests without parameters: These do not appear as a folder). You can also drag a whole folder of tests from the test pool across to the right-hand screen area; all tests that are located in the hierarchical structure under this folder are then added to the test package. You can also display a short description of the test, if required. Do this right-clicking on a test and choosing "Description" from the context menu.
Afterwards, you must supply the tests with parameters. Tests without parameters must not be given parameters. You are given notification of this when selecting them. You can enter parameters by double-clicking on a test (or a test package) or by expanding the folder of the test.
A dialog box appears in which you must enter the required parameters. Input help is often available. After entering the parameters, a folder with the name "Parameter" is added under the test. This contains the parameter values. The test name can change in some circumstances, enabling you to see at first sight for which parameter values the test is to be executed. It is possible to select the same test several times and give it different parameters, which may even be preferable in some situations. When you have supplied the combined test with parameters, the folder with the name "Elementary Tests" is added under this one. It contains the elementary tests, from which the combined test is built. You can delete individual elementary tests in the test pool using drag & drop.
After supplying all tests with parameters, you can start the test run by clicking on the "Execution" button. After execution, the test icons change from a gray rhombus to a red, yellow or green one, depending on whether the test had errors, warnings or was error-free.
Test Results
The test results are written to the application log. Depending on the settings, the system jumps automatically to this display, or you can reach it by clicking on the "Display" button. The results are saved in the database, and can therefore be compared later with additional test runs.
In the left-hand side of the window, you can see an overview of the most recent test runs. Double-clicking on a folder displays all messages under these nodes as a flat (non-hierarchical) list in the right-hand screen area. Long texts or detail data may be available for individual messages, which can be displayed with a mouse click.
Repairs
Some tests can repair inconsistencies and errors. Automatic correction is generally not possible: If entries are missing from the SID table for a characteristic, in which case the lost SIDs are still being used in a dimension table (and the corresponding dimension keys are still being used in the fact table) of an InfoCube, you can only remove the inconsistency by reloading the transaction data of the InfoCube. Also note that you must make repairs in the correct sequence. You must always read the documentation for the test and have a good idea about how the error occured, before making the repairs.
After executing the test run, go from the application log back to the initial screen to make these repairs. Click on the "Fix Errors" button to start an error run. Since the dataset could have changed between the test and the repair run, the required tests are executed again before the actual repair. The results can be found in the application log once again.
Test Packages
The test package is deleted if you do not save the test package in the display before leaving the test environment. Choose "Test Packages -> Save Test Package" in the option menu. You can do the following via options in the "Test Package" menu:
Load packages
Load for processing - the package is then locked against changes by others.
Delete and
Schedule execution at a later date or at regular intervals in background processing
Settings
In the "Settings" menu option, you can make settings (adjust the size of the screen areas, for example) and save them. The settings are automatically read when starting the test environment. Support packages are being delivered with additional settings options since the test environment is under development at the moment. A message notifies the user at the start if there aren't any values for the setting options.
Jobs Menu Option
You can access the job overview via the Jobs -> Job Overview menu. Use this when you want to check the status of a test package you have scheduled.
Application Log Menu Option
You can display old logs from previous test runs in the dialog box, as well as scheduled ones. The option of deleting test logs can also be found here.
New Selection Button
The currently selected test package is deleted when you press this button.
Filter Button
After a test run, click on this button to remove all elementary tests without errors or warnings from the test package.
Executing Test Packages in Process Chains
You can add a process chain to the ABAP Programm RSRV_JOB_RUNNER in the process chain maintenance transaction, RSPC. To do this, use drag & drop to select the process type "ABAP Program" under "General Services" in the process type view. When maintaining process variants you will be asked for the program name and a program variant. Enter RSRV_JOB_RUNNER for the program name. Choose a program variant name and click on "Change". In the next screen you are able to either change or display an already existing variant, or create a new variant. When creating a new variant you will be asked for the following: Package name (an imput help on this is available), the detail level for the log to which the RSRV log in the process chain log is to be integrated, and a message type severity at which process chain processing should be terminated.
The RSRV process log in the process chain is built as follows:
First is a summary specifying whether errors, warnings, or no errors occurred for each elementary test.
A log view of the RSRV test package at the specified detail level follows.
Example: If you choose the value '3' for the detail level, only messages up to and including detail level 3 will be included in the log processes for the process chain. Messages occuring at a lower layer of the test package test are not displayed in this log. Please note that, unlike the application log, the process log does not propagate errors from deep detail levels to low detail levels. For example, if a single detail level 4 error occurs the summary will show that the relevant test delivered an error. However, this error will not be listed in the second part of the log.
A complete log is always written independantly of the RSRV process log in the process chain. You can view this in the menu option "Application Log->Display Log->From Batch".
Please note that there is currently no transport object for test packages and that consequently these cannot be transported. Process chains that execute RSRV test packages must therefore be manually postprocessed after a transport to a different system: The relevant test packages must be created.
Hope This Helps,
This is already there in SDN.

What's the difference between the Time Capsule early and late 2009 models?
I compared the specs of the [Time Capsule early 2009 model|http://support.apple.com/kb/SP508] to the one currently posted at http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/specs.html, which at the time of this posting is the late 2009 model. The only difference I can see is that the former comes with 500GB or 1TB and the latter comes with 1 or 2TB hard disk capacity.
However, the recent firmware upgrade, *Time Capsule (Simultaneous Dual-Band II) 7.5.1*, was supposed to address issues with the 5GHz connection speed. This is currently only for the late 2009 models. So it seems that there are some hardware differences between the two models.
The latest firmware for the early 2009 model is *Time Capsule (Simultaneous Dual-Band) 7.4.2*
I'm not having any issues with my early 2009 model, but just wondering what I might be missing out onThe most noticeable change in the Late 2009 model is an internal antenna change, which Apple claims will produce about a 20-25% increase in signal penetration. With this came a change in the main chipset, which is why the Late 2009 requires a different firmware version than the Early 2009 version.
