Will HP Designjet 500 work with Apple Time Capsule?

I have an Apple Time Capsule Base station and was wondering if it would be able to allow my dad's Dell Precisions (M4500 and M4700) to print to it wirelessly. We had a part of our basement finished for his new office and his plotter (HP Designjet 500) is outside the office, about 20ft away from both his laptops and my Time Capsule is on a shelf just above it. I'm just curious as it's an old plotter from like, 2001 so its old.

Really don't know but it is worth a go..
Simply plug the printer into the TC via its USB port.
On the PC load the airport utility for windows, whichever version he uses.. but the latest version utility is 5.6.1 for win7. That will also load bonjour for windows which is a big help to using network resources like printers.. you can then use the airport utility to make sure the TC has picked up the printer.
Then load the printer and have a shot at printing.
Suck and See.

How do I set up OpenDNS to work with my Time Capsule running 7.7.3 in Bridge Mode?

How do I set up OpenDNS to work with my Time Capsule running 7.7.3 in Bridge Mode?

Set up your "main" router to use the OpenDNS servers, and the Time Capsule will automatically pick up those settings. No configuration is needed on the Time Capsule.

What have you tried?
You are going to get nowhere quick with the 6.1 utility in Mountain Lion if this is the only OS you have available.
Look up how to install 5.6 utility under ML. At least then you can see printers. That is assuming you are trying to use USB.
Has this worked ever on Mountain Lion? Did you download the drivers for that printer for ML?
Plug it into a computer directly.. does it work? If it doesn't work locally it sure will not work via the network.

Wrt320n with Apple Time Capsule in Wireless sharing mode

Hi!
I try to connect my LinkSys wrt320n with Apple Time Capsule with mode "sahring existing wireless network" and so Time capsule doesn't work. It gets IP, but writes "isn't internet connection, WiFi network don't find" and also in the admipage of my wrt320 I can't see Time Capsule as client.
Is it possible to make this mode with these two?
Thanks for your advice and solutions.

For setting up the Time Capsule to work as a wireless station, the WAN port should be connected to a modem. In your case, the WAN port should be connected to the to the ethernet port of the router since the modem is already connected to the Linksys. By the way, you don't need to setup a wireless station anymore since you already have a router, unless it serves as another purpose. In addition to that, if you want to setup the TC to do backup then you cannot use it as a wireless station anymore. It can only serve one purpose at a time, depending on the type of settings being set.

Will USB mobile broadband work with Apple TV?

I am considering to get USB modem so I can use the apple TV anywhere. But I have not purchase the USB modem yet. Click below for more info on USB modem:-
http://threestore.three.co.uk/broadband/
I was thinking - USB modem is to be connected to my laptop (via USB port), Apple TV is to be connected to my laptop (via ethernet cable).
The questions are when I switch Apple TV on:-
1. Will Apple TV automatically find the internet?
2. Will the USB mobile Broadband work with Apple TV (Wireless via my computer)?
Please advise.

I'm sure it should be someone answering this question who has actually tried this, but given that the tv is not overly portable I'm not sure you will find too many who have.
FWIW, you can use an tv with a direct ethernet connection or ad hoc wifi network between the computer and the tv, so I don't see why a mobile account rather than a static one should make any difference. You would need to set up internet sharing and all that, but my guess is it should work for you. Be aware though, I haven't actually tried this.

Home Hub 4 with Apple Time Capsule

Hi all,
New to BT and, so far, all OK and really impressed with the speed. Trying to use with an Apple Time Capsule though and an Airport Express (for wireless printer) but no so easy. I have read so many posts about using bridge mode and setting us as follows but it will not work for me!
1 : 'Connect Using' select PPPoE
2 : 'Account Name' enter '[email protected]'
3 : 'Password' and 'verify password' enter a single space (as in press the space bar once).
The only way I can get this to work is to choose 'Connect Using' and choosing DHCP instead of PPPoE.
Is there a reason why the usual 'Connect Using' PPPoE is not working with my setup - is there something else I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Try using BT or anything else rather than just pressing space bar for your password.

Windows 7 Blue Screen Errors (with Apple Time Capsule)

Can anyone tell me whether Apple has found a way to make the Apple Time Capsule work with Windows 7 without causing a blue screen error every time it is used? BTW, it works perfectly on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Note: The Apple Time Capsule does not yet support Windows 7 (see specifications).

Photosmart C4780 won't work with new Time Capsule

All of our household machines (2 MacBooks and 1 iMac) worked just fine to print wirelessly to our HP Photosmart C4780 with our time capsule, 1TB. The hard drive on that failed, and we replaced it with a new 2 TB model. Everything runs fine off the new wireless network except for the printer. The printer is not hooked to the Time Capsule, and I don't want it to be as it's in an odd location. The printer worked just fine before, off by itself in a corner, not hooked to any computers or Time Capsule. We are running OS 10.8 on 2 machines and OS 10.6 on another. I've read every troubleshooting article and community post I can find, trying everything, and no luck. I've restarted everything. I've reset the printer network settings. I've deleted all printers from the computers, but in every case, the printer cannot be detected on the wireless network. I run the Print & Scan utility in System Preferences, and the printer is not located. I run the HP Setup Assistant, and it can't find the printer. If I hook it up via USB to any machine it works fine, and I even tried running the HP Setup Assistant to setup wireless via USB, and that can't find the wireless network either. The Time Capsule is on all default settings, exept I changed the name and password. Neither has any special characters. I tried the suggestion of channel 11 and that didn't work. I printed out the wireless network test report, and the Network Name (SSID) Found diagnostic failed. I printed out the HP Network Configuration Page and it says network Offline, URL for embedded web server is http://0.0.0.0, and the 802.11 Wireless status is Disconnected. At the bottom where it lists the Number of 802.11 networks discovered, my home wireless network is at the top of the list. I know wireless is enabled on my printer because I've disabled and enabled it, plus the blue light is on above the wireless icon.
I cannot think of anything else to try and I'm about to launch the printer out the window! Please help in any way.

You're close. After opening Airport Utility/TimeCapsule/Edit, look at the bar at the TOP of the page for Airport Utility, not at the top of the inset box. That Base Station drop down has the WP Printer option. I'm using 6.3.2. Try that.

IPad 2 wifi issue with Apple Time Capsule + Screen bleed.

I have an iPad 1, iMac, Macbook Pro and two iPhone 4s all successfully working on wifi with my Time Capsule.
I have two networks set up on the time capsule both 5GHz and regular N.
My new iPad 2 can see both networks and acepts the passphrase to connect to them but I can't get to the internet via Safari.
I can use the internet when connected on 3G but neither of the wifi networks work!
I've tried rebooting, forgetting and reconnecting the network etc to no avail.
It's currently on 4.3.1 and I'm just downloading 4.3.2 to see if that helps.
Either way I think I'm going to have to take this one back as it has TERRIBLE screen bleed too!
Has anyone else seen similar wifi problems?
Thanks

Try updating the firmware on your router. The latest firmware is available here:

You should also move to WPA2 security.

Will FCE 3.5 work with Apple pro-res source Quicktimes?

A buddy is supplying some footage he shot. He's importing into FCPro and outputting Apple pro-res quicktimes which he's then dumping to a drive for me. I'm curious if I'll be able to work with them in FCE3.5.

No, you won't. The ProRes component only comes with Final Cut Studio and Logic. Have the friend import using an Apple Intermediate Codec setting instead of ProRes, because FCE will work with that.

WiFi no longer working with new Time Capsule-can you help please?

Hi all,
Just received my new Time Capsule (TC). It was a little problematic setting up, but probably due to my now choosing to increase my security from WEP to WPA as the TC set-up assistant suggests. Since then, I have had numerous problems getting my other computers and now my iPhone to connect with WiFi.
The problem is that despite entering all the new settings and WPA passwords for my connection with the TC, the iPhone will either momentarily recognize and go to wifi or simply stay on Edge.
On the former, with wifi active, as soon as I go to iTunes, Safari or check email, it reverts to Edge. On the latter, despite resetting, entering password, or tapping Settings and selecting my wifi connection, it will NOT connect and stays on Edge.
(Now, I'm on Edge! I'm bummed that with new hardware I have new problems that didn't exist before!)
Can someone who had this same problem tell me how they resolved it.
Here's the one clue I have, but would rather not resort to: When I first set up the TC, I had it on WEP with a WDS Network, and everything was working great and FAST! Now that I have increased the security—I will be backing up 3 computers to the TC—my iPhone and other computers seem to have intermittent or no wifi connection as a result.)

Irving Gonzales,
If your computers are 802.11N capable, you might want to try an advanced setup that might help your Time Machine speeds some. I have not personally tested it, so it is just a personal theory at this point.
First, in a mixed environment the 802.11N clients all get slowed down.
First, configure the TC for 802.11N only.
Second, connect the Airport Express via ethernet to the Time Capsule
Third, configure the Airport Express for bridged mode (doesn't give out IP addresses), and for its own wireless network with a different name than the Time Capsule.
Have any 802.11b/g clients like the iPhone join the Airport Express' network.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

Bt Home Hub (fibre optic) can it work with my Time Capsule & Airport Express?

I have just moved house after having no problems for years with my virgin cable I have now had to switch to Bt because cable is not available at my new address therefore I would like first and foremost to have my Time Capsule available to use as a hard drive, I am not too bothered about wi-fi as that comes from the bt hub, only thing is I am at a loss how the Time Capsule hard drive is not working. Also is there anyway the Bt Hub can connect/link to Time Capsule or even Airport Express.

Your TC can be used bridged to the BTHub.. and plugged in by Ethernet.
It is best to still use the TC wireless for the express to extend and you will find access easier.
Always best to start with a factory reset when you do this.. The TC remembers too much from its last configuration.

Wifi Working With New Time Capsule But Can't See It To Configure Settings?

I had an airport extreme but recenlty purchased an airport time capsule. When I initially plugged it in, by airport utlity saw it and it asked me to set up a password. But then I noticed there was no internet signal getting to the time capsule. We wound up replacing the DSL Router and now the internet is up and running. But now when I open the airport icon, the time capsule doesn't even show up. When I open the airport utility through finder it shows the time capsule but blocks me from accessing anything. So I can't go into any set up configuration for changing passwords, setting up guest network or setting up the back up to the time capsule. I don't see any downloads for a new utility for the time capsule, so I'm assuming it's the same as for the airport extreme? What do I need to do in order to be able access the configuration areas?

Reboot the TC.. it is hard for poor OSX to find it.
No luck.
Just press reset and start again.
Do a new clean setup.. please use all SMB names this time, short, no spaces and pure alphaumeric.
Ensure ipv6 is set to link-local on both the wireless and ethernet if you use it. Wireless is essential even if you use ethernet you cannot do setups without wireless.
Still got trouble??
What is the OS on the computer and therefore version of the airport utility.. you will have huge problems with Mavericks.. as that is its nature.

I have a current 2TB Time Capsule. I would like to add more ethernet ports for needed expansion. Will an Airport Extreme conflict with the Time Capsule for needed ethernet ports and will wireless from both units conflict?

I own a current 2TB Time Capsule and I need to expand my network system to include more ethernet (wired) ports. I am considering an Airport Extreme that would give me enough wired ports. Will the wireless capabilities of both units conflict with each other? I only need one wireless network. Thank you for any help.

While you could certainly add an AirPort Extreme to provide additional Ethernet ports, you could also save about $150 by purchasing an inexpensive switch, such as one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DGS-1005G-5-Port-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B003X7TRWE/
http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Unmanaged-GREENnet-Auto-Negotiation-Auto-MDIX/dp/ B001QUA6R0/
Consumer grade Ethernet switches typically come in five and eight port configurations. Just be aware that a five port switch only conveys the ability to add three additional devices. An eight port switch conveys the ability to add six additional devices.
An 8 port switch provides twice the capacity of a 5 port switch for considerably less than twice the cost. The price difference between the two is often only $10 or so.
I just checked, the 8 port version of the Trendnet switch above costs exactly $4 more.
An AirPort Extreme is a very flexible full featured wireless router, and would provide three additional LAN ports for wired devices. If all you need is a few more ports though, it's overkill.

I cant get my iphone to work with my time capsule

It flat out does not see it. Any tips or tricks from you smart folks?

I agree with what Nick said. Posted below is a recap on what to try plus some suggestions. Feel free to call Apple Support for assistance on configuring or checking out settings in the Time Capsule.
1. Ensure that the router is running in a 2.4GHZ mode
2. Ensure you are running in either 802.11 b/g mode or 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
3. Check to see if you are using Mac Address Filtering
4. If needed ensure you are using WEP 128 bit or at least WPA/WPA2 security
Also in rare cases adjusting the radio channel may add better performance as well
