Which cable modems work best with Time Capsule?

Which cable modems work best with Time Capsule? I have Time Warner in SoCal. I am replacing my old Motorola cable modem (constantly cuts out and needs to be reset) and I also bought a new Time Capsule. I will be using the Time Capsule for my wireless network and for back ups. Thanks.

These are the cable modems supported:

I had to replace my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only talks to just the one Mac Air. My other wifi devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone) can't get on the wifi. Any suggestions?

I recently replaced my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only works with the one Mac Air and not my other devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone). Any suggestions?

It sounds like you have gone from a cable router with the TC bridged to a cable modem with no router.. so the first device to connect pick up the IP address. Did the cable company give you the same model?? Check if it is a pure modem or a modem router.. and what the last one was.
Anyway.. you should redo the setup.. do you have any computer with ethernet?? Did you buy a USB to ethernet adapter for one of your airs.. very hard to do setup without ethernet.
Also download the new utility.. with the old style.

If you happen to be on Lion.
Redo the setup and make sure you setup correctly to router mode if the cable modem has no router or bridge mode if it is a router.

Which camera will work best with the MAC? NIKON or Canon

Contemplating on buy a camera and a MAC, but need to know which camera will work best with a MAC, Nikon or Canon? Any info is appreciated

Both will work very well. You might not even need to install the software that comes with them because they'll probably work fine with iPhoto etc. Before you buy a camera, check this list of cameras supported by OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
Just about all Nikon and Canon cameras are on that list. If a camera is so new it is not yet on that list, it will be in the next update, probably.
That list is for raw format compatibility. If your camera also shoots JPEG, it will work with a Mac even if it's not on that list. If a camera doesn't work by plugging in a cable, take the card out and put it in an ordinary USB card reader and the Mac will read it.
Nikon has a slight advantage in that it supports a mode that lets the Mac mount a camera like a disk on the desktop. Canons don't mount on the desktop, but it's not really a disadvantage, because Canons still work great with Apple iPhoto, Apple Aperture, Apple Image Capture, and Adobe apps, and all of those are more efficient ways of transferring photos than dragging them out manually.

I cannot comment of Airport products, as I have none. Nor would I suppose to argue with Kappy or Ralph.
But in a pinch a LinkSys E2500 will work, as it does for me.

Which Digidesign interfaces work best with Logic Pro ?

Can anyone tell which of these work best with Logic if any at all?
- Digi-003
- M-Box Pro
- M-box2
- M-Box mini
- M-Powered

Thanks for the posts
After hearing complaints about latency, driver
issues, horrible quality,incompatibility with there
plugs in logic as well as no chance to stand against
performances and sound quality of other hardware half
there prices i thought to ask.
Wow. All that??? And then they recommend Migraine-Audio to you??? I don't think those posters know what they are talking about.
I've been using Logic since it could be used with Digidesign hardware, from version 4.8.1, and it has always worked very well.
It does pay to research the setting up of a DAW computer, as it is almost never just "plug-n-play" like many people believe. But once it is set up, it can run for years without problems. Most people experience problems because they change the setup, install free plugins, change audio gear, every other day of the week, and of course, that makes for a very unstable situation. No wonder they complain. But it is their tech-ethic they should be complaining about, not the equipment.
Can anyone verify there set ups and latency?
Here's one extensive test I did on my Digi 002R:
http://nicksevilla.com/logicpro-som/LogicTests.html
The latency is the same as with other comparable FireWire interfaces. Not more, and not less.
i wont drag this out into a long post i just want a
round about, all logic users in other forums seem to
be against Digi hardware, most advised to buy the
cheapest possible M-Audio interface just to run M
Powered Pro Tools if i realy need PT at all.
Really??? All of them???And did they know they are advising you to buy stuff that actually does NOT work properly??? Shame on those posters you read, as Digidesign drivers are a LOT more stable that the Migraine-Audio ones. Digidesign themselves told me to stay away from M-Audio... so you read into that whatever you like. I'll keep that advise from them.

Which OSX version works best with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello everyone,
Was hoping i could get some opinions on which osx version works best with logic 7.2
i currently have OSX 10.4.2 but i would like to update at least to 10.4.3 (that is least required to run logic as stated in install manual)...
should i go for 10.4.4, 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 ?
which would run best with logic pro 7.2?
thanks much everyone
Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.2)

10.4.5 was rock solid for me, and three days into heavy Logic use at 10.4.6 is proving to be just as good.
Get caught up, and go ahead and update to 10.4.6

Best modem to use with time capsule?

I'm having Time Warner Cable (TWC) come into install internet only on Thursday. I want to attach my new 3tb timecapsule to the network (which I just purchased so unused so far) and use as my wireless gateway and for wireless backup. TWC has a list of recommended modems we can use. I picked the motorola sb6141 but I saw a few posts on other threads here that is causes problems with Time Capsule over time and the speed diminishes. Of their list, would someone recommend one of these other options instead? Or should I just go with the motorola? Am not a tech savvy person, but can work with detailed instructions. So whatever would give me the least headaches? Thanks much!

I have a brand new macbook pro (2 months old) so i'm assuming I have the latest of everything. I run the software update regularly.

You might want to read the discussion started in Feb 2014 with the title "What is the most reliable modem for my Apple Time Capsule." TWC was mentioned by two responders.
I am no technician and therefore cannot help beyond this referral. However,
I have a similar question about which modem to use with a Time Capsule. My ISP is Cox Communications, whose website suggests similar modem brand/types as mentioned in your list above, but also adds two Cisco models that are compatible with Cox internet. The Cisco models are DPC3000 (Preferred) and DPC3010 (Ultimate). I would like to get the DPC3010 but would like confirmation that the TC WiFi will work as flawlessly as it has been, while connected to a Linksys with DOCSIS 2.0 technology. Thanks for any advice.

Clear Wireless Modem not communicating with Time Capsule

I have a clear wireless home modem and am having connection issues with my time capsule. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it? I know the modem is working because when I connect the ethernet directly into my computer it works. Help!?

Is this a new TC?
Most important.. did you power cycle the modem. If this is a cable network pure modem ie no router function.. did you power down the modem for say 20min at least?? Then power up modem wait a couple of min for it to stabilize then power up the TC.
If the TC is bridged this is not necessary.. ie your cable modem is also a router.
Here is a bit of detail about checking the wireless is ok.. but IMHO the likely issue is not wireless per se.
Did you use identical wireless names? If so try deleting all the old names in the computer under the wifi network preferences.
Select each one and use the minus to delete it.
Then redo the configuration for the TC.
No luck start over .. factory reset the TC use all new names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric will give you much less problems in the future.
Still no luck make sure you have ipv6 set correctly.. ie link local only and check the gateway (router in applespeak) and dns values are correct.. dns is not on the main page.. it has a separate tab.

What external hard drives work best with time machine

What is the best external drive that is compatible with time machine?

I see a lot of people on the Apple Discussion boards mention Time Capsule. The experience I've heard from folks with the First gen units was terrible. Poorly designed, poorly manufactured (sorry Apple!). They suffered all kinds of heat stress failures etc. The follow up devices are supposed to better, but I don't think it's mandatory you buy Apple product to run Time Machine. In fact choose based on price/capacity, then possibly on Manufacturers reputation. I use a external USB dock that has a Serial ATA connector on it. That way I can swap drives out when/if they fail or get full. That way I KNOW who manufactured the actual drive itself. Often times if you get a Time Capsule the drive manufacturer is the "flavor of the month" so to speak. There's a number of outfits that make these bare SATA style docks, and you can connect them through USB (which I have) or higher speed connectors like FireWire 800 (for faster reads/writes/backups). My best recommendation is to buy one of those SATA dock devices, then buy a bare hard drive from a reputable manufacturer. Then setup Time Machine and use the left over space that it doesn't use for your growing iPhoto collection? Use your best judgement, as there's no real right/wrong way.

Apple TV not working well with time capsule

So, I have an apple time capsule which serves two functions: wifi base station and the repository for my massive iTunes library. I connect this via wifi to my Apple TV (not sure which generation it is). The media seems to play well when I play it on my computer, but the Apple TV has a very hard time playing it, sometimes not even showing pieces of media I know are there. Also, doing airplay from my computer or iPad to the Apple TV is very inconsistent. Also experience the same playing issue with netflix. I have recently resorted to watching most things on my iPad and experience no problems.
Suggestions? One thing that comes to my mind is to do a factory settings reset on the Apple TV. Would that do anything?

Hi zachfromind,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are having issues with content on your Apple TV. It sounds like you have everything set up correctly and you are very aware of how the content should be displayed and played. At this point yes, I would suggest restoring the Apple TV back to factory settings and then joining it back to your network and testing. It sounds like you are familiar with the process but you can use the following article for reference if needed.

I cannot get my seagate HDD to work correctly with Time Capsule USB

I have been using my seagate expansion 2tb powered HDD happily with itunes connected directly to my imac. i would like to move it to my TC via usb. it is having none of it. it is formatted using mac os extended (journaled) and it will only show up in airport utility. not in finder or anywhere. i have reformatted it to no avail. i have change the preferences to show everything in finder( i think) finder only comes up with 'data' on the TC which is the TCs internal HD. please help

Azza77 wrote:
Your 1.8 TB Seagate is not formatted as it contains NO partition.
Compare to the entry above: Drive is "Time Capsule Disk" Partition is "TC Data"
In Disk Utility it should look similar to this:
where 1TB STxxxxx is the Disk (Media) and "time machine" is the name of the usable partition.
Plug the disk to your computer
Open Disk Utility
Choose the disk (click on it)
Click on the Partition section
Under "Current Scheme" select the wanted partition scheme
Under "Name" give a name.
(If you choose to create more than one partition on the disk , give every partition a name)
Under "Format" choose "Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Click "Apply"
When the run is finished, eject the disk from Finder and plug again to the Time Machine.
After that you will find the drive (partition) also on Finder / Shares

What online backup solution is best with Time Capsule?

I am trying to find an online backup solution that is compatible with Time Machine's Time Capsule. I tried ZipCloud, but while using ZipCloud my Time Capsule failed to backup. It would issue an error something-"sparsebundle" was already in use by another program and therefore Time Capsule would not backup. I worked with ZipCloud's technical support, but was unable to find a solution. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

See #C12 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, but that's probably unresolvable.
I don't know how that app is supposed to work, but usually only one user can access a sparse bundle disk image at a time. If the app is supposed to be backing-up your backups, instead of your Mac, that's not a good idea in general and unlikely to work with a sparse bundle anyway.
I did hear from one developer a couple of years ago, about an app that did the backups separately, but used the same rules, etc., as Time Machine, so the operation was, theoretically, separate. I can't recall the name now, though. They had lots of trouble at first, and I haven't heard of them in a while. I'll post back if the name comes to me.
For secondary backups, whether local or not, it's usually prudent to use a different app entirely; that way, you're also protected against a failure of either app.
If you have a lot of data, it's probably not worthwhile trying to back up your entire system to the Internet; it would take much too long to download it all. If your HD failed, you'd have to install OSX first anyway to get connected to the remote location.
EDIT: By the way, just to reduce misunderstandings, a Time Capsule is Apple hardware combining a wireless router and HD; Time Machine is the software that does the backups, to a Time Capsule, internal or external HD, shared drive on another Mac, Mac Server, or (sometimes) a NAS.

Which printer brands work best with Mac?

Well, it sounds like my HP LaserJet 3015 will not duplex with my new Mac (only with PCs, I guess), so I am going to need a new printer. Does anyone have suggestions on which brands of printers work well with the Mac? Thanks in advance...

There are a number of Laserjet 3015 models. Some have automatic duplexing and others do not. If it has duplexing, it should do it whether it is on a Mac or a PC. Make sure you have duplexing and the proper driver for your printer. If you are using a Gutenprint driver instead of the HP driver, you may not have duplexing available. If you click on Options & Supplies in Print & Fax, you will be able to see which driver you are using.

Which video camera works best with Premiere Pro CS6

I'm a beginner in working with PP and need to purchase a video camera which will work seemlessly with Premiere Pro. I don't want to go through a lot of conversion steps. I want to tape my kids sports, be able to take the raw video right from the camera to PP and begin editing, copying etc. Does the Canon HFM 500 with ABCHD formats provide what I need or do I need something more sophisticated? Just getting started with the whole video editing thing and want to make the right choices before buying a camera. Thanks for any input.
