What sort of functionality can I expect from Time Capsule in a Windows 7 environment?

I'm looking to use time capsule as a backup for all of our families photos and such. What kind of functionality can I expect from Windows 7 and Time Capsule.

You can use it as a network drive. You can also use it for automatic back-up purposes.

  • How CAN I PRINT FROM TIME CAPSULE?

    I've set up Time Capsule through Airport utility and Time Machine but had some problems doing so. Consequently, it was set up with print cable still hooked to iMac. Now that Time Capsule is functioning as a backup for my files, I've tried to print from Time Capsule to my HP PSC 1610 printer. I've transfered my print cable from iMac to Time Capsule and tried to make any changes necessary to print from it. But it doesn't work. What am I possibly doing wrong? I've tried following page 28 of Time Capsule setup guide (If your printer isn't responding) but that has not helped.

  • Can you edit from time capsule using firewire?

    I'm running Final Cut Pro 7 on a MacBook Pro, editing 35 mb/sec files. Can I use time capsule via firewire to edit in real-time from time capsule?

    You will have issues achieving continuous 35Mbit/s speed to the TC.. It is not a particularly high speed device. It doesn't have to be because it is designed for TM backup.. not NAS role.
    If you want high speed buy fw800 or if you have latest Mac, thunderbolt based external drive.

  • What kind of longevity can I expect from the SSD in a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hi all,
    I recently ordered a new MacBook Pro with the Retina Display. This will be both my first computer and my first Mac that uses a SSD as the primary storage device. As the title of this post suggests, what I would like to know is what sort of lifespan/longevity can I expect to get out of it? My current MacBook Pro was manufactured in 2007 and has a stock 160GB Fujitsu hard drive that has been fantastic for me over the past 4-5 years. It continues to run like a champ, and I would hope that a brand new SSD would be able to last at least that long. Given that the new retina MBPs cannot be upgraded or (easily) user-serviced, I am somewhat curious to know whether or not Apple's new proprietary SSD modules will give out/slow to a crawl before/after my new machine becomes completely obsolete. I have been searching for articles published within the past few months on whether or not the current crop of SSDs on the market are more reliable than those introduced a year or two ago, but alas, I haven't had much luck. Perhaps it is still too early to tell?
    I found a few discussion threads on here somewhere where some users indicated that their original MacBook Airs, or other SSD-equipped MacBooks, were still performing quite well and responsively after a few years of use. Can anyone substantiate this for me? How long have you been using your SSD(s) in your Mac(s), and do you think the newer models will be able to last several years? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

    While I think your concern is legitimate (it was mine too), I think to some extent, how long they last will be up to you. The individual cells in the flash media in an SSD have limited life spans, and SSD controllers have a variety of techniques to spread that wear around evenly (wear leveling). That wear is exacerbated by the controller having to erase a whole block of data when even just one page needs to be changed, and if not all the data in the block is still valid, more data than necessary gets moved (write amplification). To provide some extra room for all this reshuffling of data, SSD manufacturers build in extra space that's inaccessible to the user (over-provisioning), but it typically runs about 7%. (This is a good discussion of the inner workings of all this)
    If you stuff your SSD full of files, so that there's very little room to do all this rearranging, I think you'll experience the slowdown you're concerned about. TRIM, which Apple's SSD's support, will help, but you can too. Allow plenty of free space on your SSD and perhaps partition it so that there is free space outside the partition (check this out to see what a difference it can make). You can't use it but the controller can as an extension of the built-in over-provisioning.
    You also mention that you "will most likely use it to record several tracks and store my growing library of songs and videos." Why not instead use an external SSD connected via USB 3.0 for storage? They're relatively cheap, very fast, and keep the space on your internal working drive free. A BootCamp partition would also take up space, so you might consider using Windows in a Virtual Machine instead. VMware Fusion or Parallels would be installed on the internal SSD but the virtual machine files could  go on the external.
    In any case, your data is more important than your SSD, so back up, back up, back up.

  • LOST BOOKMARKS - How can I restore from Time Capsule b/u

    I programmed an iPhone and it kept merging my bookmarks on the phone so I deleted them and thin I found it took then out of my Macbook Pro laptop also. I had an extensive list of all organized book marks I didnt really want to give up.
    I have a time capsule and it is working. When I went to restore them it told me that safari can not be modified because it is required, So I must be doing something wrong.
    Actually I have never restored anything from the backups since I have had the thing running. So I am not familar with the perations of the device.
    PLEASE, HELP ! ! ! ! !
    Need steps on how to bring back bookmarks to safari.
    Thanks

    Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

  • What reaction, if any, can we expect from Verizon in regards to the T-Mobile program to pay early cancellations fees? (This is sort of a 2-part question)

    A brief rundown here...over the last 7 or 8 years, I've had 2 carriers, T-Mobile, with whom I was pretty happy and then Verizon for the majority of that time, due to a friend of mine working there. He is no longer with the company, however. Here's the dilemma. Today, I managed to slam my Samsung Brightside in a car door (jacket pocket, jacket not all the way out) and the sole redeeming feature of that otherwise useless phone is that it took repeated drops to the floor really well. I have probably dropped that thing more than my previous 4 phones combined and maybe squared.
    Anyway, the long and short of it is that the Brightside is no longer under the 12 month warranty and it doesn't look like I really have any good options here, aside from trying to hunt down a used one and suffering through another year of a phone I increasingly detest. If I have to get a smartphone, I may as well look at making a move to whoever is going to charge me less for services fees, etc. and right now that is T-Mobile. The basic questions here are: is Verizon going to get to be price competitive and for my particular situation, what can Verizon do for me specifically?
    I will be in a Verizon store tomorrow, but a few of the deals that are attractive seem to also be internet only. I am looking to be back in order tomorrow, one way or the other, as my phone is not really functional at all, so if anyone at Verizon has some answers or solutions to keep me in the house of Big Red, I'd love to hear them...quick.
    Feel free to email me directly if you want, but don't bother calling...for the reason mentioned. Thanks.

    Well first off unless you had the supplement insurance verizon will not replace a phone broke in a car door. That is physical damage and is not covered.
    At present you can use if qualified the device payment plan which is full price spread out over 12 months with so much down and the rest paid over the year. There is a $2 fee per month for this plan. However if you have unlimited data etc on the plan now you keep it. That is a plus for many customers.
    You can use the edge plan, you pay so much and after a certain time frame after paying half the phone cost you can trade in the phone and get a new super doper phone, again you pay so much down and can do this over and over. However if you have unlimited data you lose it. The cost of data is very expensive and read the posts here about problems with actual usage versus what was never used before.
    Or you can pay full price for the device or get another device from a friend or buy a cheap device from a place off the net.
    Good Luck

  • I cannot transfer my iTunes library to the new macbook pro from time capsule,what to do?

    what to do to transfer itune library from time capsule into the new mac book pro(retina)?

    You have an Apple Store across the street, how convenient...  I think you should just walk over and ask.
    NOTE:  Your iTunes library exists on your computer.  Unless you subscribe to Apple's iTunes Match service (which matches or uploads your library's songs and playlists into iCloud), you cannot use another computer and access your library.
    However, you can download previous purchases from the iTunes Store (at no cost) into a different iTunes library (not your library), and then set up the iPod to sync to that library, or set it to Manually manage music and videos, and manually load the songs (and other content) to your iPod.  The manual method may be better in this case, since you won't be accessing that computer's iTunes library again.
    To do this, go to the iTunes Store Home screen.  Sign in using your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).  Click Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  On the Purchased screen, you can find and download previous purchases.  It may not be available for audiobook purchases.
    After the iPod has the content, you should probably delete everything you downloaded in the computer's iTunes library.

  • How can I create a function of sound volue from time using AudioQueueBufferRef??

    I have a question how can I analyze class AudioQueueBufferRef, for creating a function of sound volue from time?? Here is what I get . there is AudioQueueBufferRef fillBuf = audioQueueBuffer[fillBufferIndex]; volume height is 2000 elements from SInt16* coreAudioBuffer = (SInt16*)fillBuf->mAudioData. so function looks like H(t*i)=coreAudioBuffer[i] where t = 1/sampleRate = 1/22050 but here is a problem. my program gets sound and uses a class AudioStreamer for this. AudioStreamer has 3000 lines when I play music from Free Internet Radio - SHOUTcast Radio - Thousands of Free Online Radio Stations. internet radio - my problem is as follows either I dont know where 85 % of sound information is or I dont know how I can analyze class AudioQueueBufferRef
    Here is the code where I analyze Buffer.
    {@synchronized(self)
    if ([self isFinishing] || stream == 0)
    return;
    inuse[fillBufferIndex] = true; // set in use flag
    buffersUsed++;
    // enqueue buffer
    AudioQueueBufferRef fillBuf = audioQueueBuffer[fillBufferIndex];
    fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize = bytesFilled;
    // ======>in this place I analyze Buffer
    if (packetsFilled)
    err = AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer(audioQueue, fillBuf, packetsFilled, packetDescs);
    else
    err = AudioQueueEnqueueBuffer(audioQueue, fillBuf, 0, NULL);
    when bitRate = 24 buffer has the following options int size=(fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize) == 2000 double sampleRate=asbd.mSampleRate == 22050 numberOfChannels = asbd.mChannelsPerFrame == 1 it turns out that duration of play buffer float bufferTime =(size/numberOfChannels)/sampleRate == 0.1 number of buffers per second float numBuffersInOneSeconds == 1,5 duration of play all buffers per one second numBuffersInOneSeconds * time == 0.15 so it is 15 % of all information
    as a result If buffer comes at 0.0 seconds he lasts up to 0.1 seconds.farther in my function there is no volume. second buffer comes in 0.7 seconds and lasts up to 0.8 seconds. but in reality the sound doesnt breaks. Maybe I'm doing something wrong .please tell me.
    just for comparison
    when bitRate = 32 buffer has the following options int size=(fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize) == 2000 double sampleRate=asbd.mSampleRate == 22050 numberOfChannels = asbd.mChannelsPerFrame == 1 it turns out that duration of play buffer float bufferTime =(size/numberOfChannels)/sampleRate == 0.1 number of buffers per second float numBuffersInOneSeconds == 2 duration of play all buffers per one second numBuffersInOneSeconds * time == 0.2 so it is 20 % of all information
    when bitRate = 32 buffer has the following options int size=(fillBuf->mAudioDataByteSize) == 1660 double sampleRate=asbd.mSampleRate == 44100 numberOfChannels = asbd.mChannelsPerFrame == 2 it turns out that duration of play buffer float bufferTime =(size/numberOfChannels)/sampleRate == 0.02 number of buffers per second float numBuffersInOneSeconds == 10 duration of play all buffers per one second numBuffersInOneSeconds * time == 0.2 so it is 20 % of all information

    You cannot write custom commands for expressions.
    That being said, there are a couple of options:
    Create a subsequence with a single step. Use a parameter of the sequence as "function parameter".
    Create a custom step type including a substep module which implements the function. Add an edit substep to enable the user of the steptype to gracefully change the parameter.
    Store the variable parameter in a local/file global variable and modify the value in each step. This will, at least, keep the "function" the same for every step.

  • I installed a new router from my ISP provider and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network.  What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    I installed a new (and supposedly better & stronger) router from my ISP provider (Verizon) and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network. 
    My Mac is not backing up because it can't find my Time Capsule network & my "Guest" network has also disappeared. 
    What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    You must reset the TC to factory and start over. The TC simply remembers too much from the previous setup to work in the new one.
    If your new router is going to take the router role, then the TC will have to be bridged and you will lose your Guest wireless.. the way around this is to use the Verizon router as your guest wireless and the TC as your main wireless.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
