How can I test the usb port on my Time Capsule to see if it is working?
Ever since lightening struck nearby (which took out our internet and copy machine) the printer I had connected to the usb port on my Time Capsule in my office has has failed to print through the TC. I can plug the printer directly into my MacBookAir and can print just fine. So there is nothing wrong with the printer nor the usb cable.
I've turned off and unplugged the printer with the usb cable connected & disconnected to the TC, no change. I've unplugged the TC, no change. I've opened the printer utility several times, and always get the "offline" error. I open the print queue, and it says the printer is not connected. I reinstalled the driver for the printer, still the same thing.
I'm starting to wonder if the usb port on my Time Capsule got fried. Any help anyone can give in trying to see if the usb port even functions anymore would be greatly appreciated.
My Time Capsule is model no. A1409.Power is not likely to be killed .. it is the data components that are more fragile.
So you do have power which as you say is why the USB flashes.. but you don't have signal.
The only other thing you can do is use USB powered hub.. if you have one handy.. but I would not go out and buy one.
A damaged board is impossible (at cost less than replacement TC) to repair. And repairers do not like working on stuff damaged by lightning as components that did survive were stressed.. the transistor junctions become liable to fail at any time.. so you repair it and it just keeps coming back as not working. Sorry if you cannot use it without USB junk it and buy a replacement. A second hand Gen3 is about the best of them it seems.
You can also buy an ethernet to USB print server.. but a new ethernet or wireless network printer is probably near to the same price.
You can hunt ebay for second hand USB print servers.. or airport express, extreme or TC.. often you can find something suitable for just a few dollars if you shop well. Since you don't need the latest greatest to do this sort of job.. and people are disposing of things like USB print servers as soon as they buy network printers. -
Where is the iCloud Preferences Gear? I do NOT see it!
When I open iCloud, whether I select Keynote, Pages or Numbers, I never see the "preferences" gear on screen! How do I access it?
There isn't one, it's a storage are for documents, what would you want preferences for.

Where is the iCloud icon ? I have the iCloud settings set to on for music, mail etc but the icon is not on my safari tool bar nor is the icon present on my home screen
There is no iCloud app or icon on your phone. iCloud is enabled and configured in your settings, but you access your iCloud data through the apps you are syncing with iCloud. iCloud contacts are accessed through the Contacts app on your phone, Mail through the Mail app, Reminders through the Reminders app, etc.
You can also access some of this data on icloud.com from a computer. You can't, however, access icloud.com from your phone. -
What's the best way to use Time Capsule through Extended Wireless Network?
I am operating four computers, three Apples and a PC. All the Apples use Snow Leopard. I have a large house where the cable company's modem and internet access is located downstairs at the far back of the house. That is where I have a 2Tb 802.11n Time Capsule (TC) connected to the modem by ethernet cable. My iMac is there, connected to the TC by ethernet cable. In the middle of the house, also downstairs, I have an Airport Extreme (802.11n) operating as a wireless bridge. Upstairs in the front of the house (very far from the TC and closer but not very close to the AE) I have a home office. That is where my other two Apples--a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air--are usually located. The PC is located in a bedroom directly above the TC and wirelessly connects to it. At all locations, I get four radio signal strength bars. However, I am not sure that the AE is doing anything, because I get four bars regardless of whether the AE is plugged in, or not. When it is turned on, Airport Utility on all computers shows both the TC and the AE, but I have not been able to find which Airport ID I am actually connected to.
From my home office I do temporarily lose my internet connection from time to time each day, but the connection recovers usually within seconds. I assume this reflects occasional interference or other loss of wireless signal in the distant home office, although I do not see the radio bars diminish to less than the four bars.
All three Apples are set up to use the same TC for backup into Time Machine. However, I have been getting errors on the laptops operating in the home office (a long way from the TC and perhaps connecting directly over wireless or perhaps wirelessly through the AE bridge. Some messages are to the effect of being unable to backup, and others more recently report errors. I think that either due to connection interruptions or merely by suspending or turning off the computer while in the middle of backing up, errors in the Time Machine files were created. I have been unable to delete more than a few of the 8Mb sparsebundle bands so that I can completely get rid of one of the sparsebundles for the MacBook Pro. I was able to get rid of the other sparsebundle for that computer and also the sparsebundle for the MacBook Air. I am reluctant to erase the entire TC, because it has been working for the directly connected (by ethernet cable) iMac sitting right next to the TC.
So, I am wondering what is the experience of others who are trying to use TC successfully from computers located a long distance from the TC with either a direct wireless connection or a bridged wireless connection through an AE or other bridge.
And does anyone have good ideas about how to delete the sparsebundles effectively? I read the various questions and answers in the support community, but so far nothing that I have tried based on those messages seems to work. It seems that when all the Time Machines are set to "Off" and the sparsebundles are expanded to show the individual bands, we ought to be able to delete them fairly expeditiously. Sometimes, I can delete one band fairly quickly, but then the second band will hang forever. More often, I can't even delete the first band.Thank you, Bob. I followed the procedure you stated. My AE is working. I did register its BSSID when I put my laptop next to it. This is also the BBSID I am getting when in my home office at the far end of the house from the TC. This means I am using the extended bridge AE when working and trying to use the automated backup feature in Time Machine. Do you think I should turn off Time Machine on these laptops when they are in the home office, and bring them into the room with the TC occasionally to have a better connection (wireless to TC or by connecting an ethernet cable) when trying to make Time Machine backups for them?
Interestingly (in contrast to the exact match of BBSID's for my AE), when I compared the BSSID for my TC in Airport Utility to the BBSID of the TC using the option key and the fan shaped Airport icon, the BBSID's matched except for the last two digits. In Airport Utility, they are 2F. In the fan shaped Airport icon they are 30.
Also, the AE signal, being centrally located on the first floor of the house, seems to be the one most in use. When I walked my laptop away from the AE all the way back to the TC, the laptop automatically switched over to the TC only once. Most of the time, the laptop is still connecting wirelessly with the AE. To switch back to the TC, I have to turn Airport off, and then turn it back on again.
I don't know how efficient or inefficient the Time Machine is when connecting to the TC indirectly through an AE bridge. -

how do i access the data stored on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens. i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc. it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them. thanks!
Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ. Check the information in the pink box there.

When trying to use my time machine got an error message "Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/ Time Capsul/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Any ideas?I have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

HT3486 Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my lan?
Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?
Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method. -
Can i to see directly with Apple-TV the movie presents in my Time Capsule?
I would like to know if can I to see directly with Apple-TV the movie presents in my Time Capsule?
Thank you very much in advance for your support. (sorry for my english)Unless your Macbook is recent and supports Airplay you would need a third party app such as Airparrot to Airplay video to AppleTV - this will not work with Apple's DVD Player though but may work with VLC.
Methods of conversion of DVDs to play on AppleTV cannot be discussed on Apple's fora due to their terms and conditions.

I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?
To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID. If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account. If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

I ran out of space on my time machine because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one. So I copied the old one on the new one and in addition to that I own a macbook. So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?
Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much. -
How to plug a hard drive on the USB port of a Time Capsule. TC in bridge mode
Hello
I would like to connect a hard drive onto the USB port of a Time Capsule. This is for saving files (different frome the Time Machine savings). I am struggling to get it working it seems that I can see the HD when under "drives or discs" (running Snow Leopard in French) from the AirPort Utility but I can't access to it.
The TC is in bridge mode.
Thanks for help and guidances.
Best
PierreThe question is clear enough.. I just don't understand why you are having issues.
Can you see in the internal disk of the TC in the finder?
What format are you using on this disk? Try and format it HFS+ if it isn't already.
If you plug it directly into the Mac it works ok??
The other issue is the need for a powered hub on the TC due to the low power it gives the internal port.. or lack of bios compatibility with a range of usb hub chips. Try a powered hub as that can also help. -
