Where do I save to TC

So if I want to use this as both TM and external HD, where do I send files when I want to store them on the TC. Do I connect to TC using the shared area in the finder or do I use the Backup ejectable drive in the divices area. This is named for my MBP backup but I am not sure if I can save there or not
Also whenever I try to connect to my TC using the shared area, it just keeps trying to "connect as" whats up with this?

I set my Time Capsule up to use Accounts method of sharing, then created a single account using the name of the network for the user name, and the same password for the network. This way, when either of us is connecting to the drive we're accessing the same user folder and nothing will get lost.
Our Time Capsule now shows up as a device in the Finder's sidebar. Clicking on that reveals both the Time Capsule's hard drive plus an external drive we have connected through a USB hub. Pretty straightforward.
In our setup, I wanted to be able to see one of the drives a bit more easily. So I clicked on that drive in Finder, gave it a second for it to refresh, then dragged the icon for the drive over to the Sidebar in the Devices section, right underneath the laptop's built-in drive. Then in whatever program I'm running, I just choose that disk like I would any other disk drive.
When a computer is re-connecting to the network or coming back from sleep, it takes a couple seconds for it to connect to the Time Capsule, but then the drive reappears on the list.
Hope that info helps.

  • Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

    It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
    What you need is a home media server.
    Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
    https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
    For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

  • I game online and have problems with games working after updating firefox. I use an older version but am concerned about security. Two questions: can I be sure that Firefox 4 will work on my system (vista) and where do I save the file at?

    I have had a problem with the compatibility of Firefox running with the games I play online. I don't want to attempt an upgrade again, only to have to turn around and degrade so my activities can work. Furthermore, I'm not sure where to save the Firefox file in my system, since for some reason it doesn't take me right to where it should save.

    Hello,
    the *.jar file thing is a common problem in Java. One simple solution to the problem is by saving the *.jar file in the C:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\ext\ folder. This directory is an extension to the regular java files and by doing this, java will look in this directory if you import some other files not included in the java package. This does not work if you are using JBuilder, couse JBuilder installs its own jsdk, which is uses, probably under the JBuilder folder.

  • Where did the "save as" feature go?

    I just opened up a Pages document, after my Lion upgrade.  I want to use the orginal document, make changes and save as a new document.  However, when I clicked on "File" to go to the "Save As," I discovered it is no longer there.  Where is the "Save As" feature now.  This is, obviously, a crucial need.

    In most cases, though, you don't need a separate file.  Just make a Version with Cmd+S.
    Much faster, and takes up much less space, since it only saves the changes, not the whole document.
    As a work machine processing files, folders, and graphics, in many cases I do, everyday.
    Changing file name and format and still have the original to work with.
    Seems crazy to me.

  • The Where in the save as dialog box

    The Where in the save as dialog box is frustratingly limiting is there a way to change this so I can browse to the folder I want?

    I recommend you get Default Folder.   I've considered it a must have utility for my systems since OS9 Classic days.  It greatly helps in navigation for the ever deficient file dialogs in OSX (and OS9).

  • Where is my Save As in Lion?

    Perhaps this only applies to Preview, but I went to do something I do all the time: convert a screenshot from .png to .jpg just in case some Windows user couldn't read it, when I suddenly realised Preview no longer has Save As and it's stupid "Save a version" means the same as the old "Save", which means it's in the same format. Where has my Save As gone? How can I do something similar?

    Depending on what you want to wind up with, you'll need to use either 'duplicate' which will give you two copies - one png, one jpg - or export the png; you can change the format during that process. It's a new feature in lion,

  • Where do I save other ICC Profiles so I can use them in softproofing in Lightroom 4?

    I am starting to use an online photo printing service and the photos are not an accurate representation of what I see on the screen so I want to download their color profiles which are specific to their printers and various papers. Where do I save the files so Lightroom4 can access them in softproofing?

    On a mac, it's Library/ColorSync/Profiles either in the root or user level (under 10.7, that folder is hidden)**
    **In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    In the Go To Folder dialog, type Sudo ~/Library Click Go.
    OR
    This method makes the user library folder permanently visible but requires the use of Terminal (not for the novice user):
    Launch Terminal from the Utilities folder.
    In Terminal type the following command and type Return key:
      1. chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Enter administrator password and then type Return key.
    Type Exit and quit Terminal.

  • Where should I save my Dreamweaver Widgets?

    Hi, everyone.
    I downloaded a Lightbox widget. Clearly, I made a mistake in saving the widget, because this is the address in my header information for the CSS file!
    C|/Users/Alex/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/Temp/Assets/eam6DA9.tmp/css/lightbox.css
    I am downloading the widget again, and it is asking for my destination folder. Where should I save the widget so that I can pop the CSS and JS files right into the head data?
    Thanks a lot, Community -

    Hello Queenoid,
    It does not matter where you save the widget although you probably want to save it into something  like your "My Documents" or "Downloads" folder for easy access. When you save the Lightbox widget, 1 file (LightBox Gallery Widget_default.html) & 3 folders (css, images, scripts) are saved in the location you specified. If you want to use your own pictures, go into the images folder & replace the images there with your own.
    When done, upload the file & folders to your site & everything should work.

  • Where do I save .doc file on an ipad

    I understand that by using pages app that I can open and modify a microsoft word document. But how and where can I save the file as .doc file????

    Hi
    I have been using Pages Only on my iPad, but need to save files as .doc regularly... Whenever I want to make a .doc file I use the "Save As . . ." option and choose .doc in the format box.
    The document itself is kept with my other Pages documents, which I believe may be what you originally asked.
    As far as I can tell, on the iPad there is no way to "organize" them, like there is on the iMac or other desktop/laptop. As far as my understanding, the iPad was not intended to be a full laptop - but maybe that has changed as they have added more functionality to the iPad 2.
    You can, as others mentioned, email the .doc files to anyone you choose from within Pages.
    I hope this helps

  • Can you use Easynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    Can you useEasynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    From your Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, select "About this Mac." You get a window similar to this:
    1) The Mac OS version is just under the big "MAC OS X" line. Post what that says.
    2) We can start to figure out what iMac you have if you post what that the "Processor" line says.
    We need to find out because Apple's poor labling choices for this forum, intended for iMacs made before 2006, causes people with newer and much more capable Macs to post here by mistake.
    Without some info from you, it's much like your calling an auto mechanic and asking if you can use a certain part without telling him the make, model, or year of your car. Quess what his first question will be? Works the same here.

  • Where should I save the camera calibration profile for Lightroom 2?

    I created some DNG Camera Profiles by DNG Profile Editor. For Camera Calibration in Camera Raw, I save those .dcp files in C:\ Administrator\ Documents and Settings\ Application Data\ Adobe\ Camera Raw \ CameraProfiles. However, I could't find such a subfolder in Lightroom folder, does any one know where should I save the dcp files for Lightroom 2? Thank you

    It's the same install folder for both Camera Raw and Lightroom (i.e., a .dcp installed in the folder you described will be readable by both CR and LR).

  • HT1296 How do I syn pdf files eg. of an econs notes from school onto my iPad? Where do I save these files to my Mac so that I can sync them to my iPad?

    Hi
    Just bought a CD for my Econs subject, has a lot of pdf files which I hope to load to my iPad.
    1. Where do I save these pdf files on my Mac?
    2. How do I syn such that these files can be found on my iPad so that I can read them?
    Please help, details needed as I am not a techie yet
    Thanks v much to anyone who can help

    You first need to decide which app(s) that you are going to copy the PDF2 to on the iPad - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support PDFs include free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.
    For all apps it doesn't really matter where you initially store them on your Mac.
    For iBooks you can add the PDFs to computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them to the app by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync those PDFs.
    For other apps it will depend upon what the app that you get supports e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Where do I save a .atn action file? I don't see the proper folder

    I have W7 computer, with PSE 10.0;  I downloaded an .atn action file and it is now in my "downloads" folder.  Where do I save this .atn file?   I do not see a Workflow Panels\Actions folder in the PSE 10.0\en-US folder.    The directions say to save it in that place, in order to have the action show up in the Guided Edit panel on PSE 10.0
    thanks

    The Texas Chicks site also has very good instructions for installing actions:
