time capsule

I want to remove unneeded files from my Mac to free up space on my hard drive. I use Time Machine and have done multiple complete backups of my hard drive to my Apple Time Capsule. My downloaded iTunes files take up about 40G. Since I have Apple Music, I don’t need those files on my hard...

Hello! My housemates and family got me some early Xmas presents, and I'm trying to set them all up symbiotically - together and with my existing gear. What I've got so far, is fibre to the property nbn to an Optus modem/router - to the ports strip built into my apartment. Then in my room from a...

I would like to backup my MBA and do a clean install of High Sierra since I'm having so many issues with it after upgrading, but Time Machine cannot find my Time Capsule (latest generation), nor is it showing in Airport Utility. The Time Capsule is available to my iPhone and the internet works...

Hello! This is my setup I am currently using. I will soon add 2 more AirPort Express. What do you think?

Hello, folks! Long time lurker, first time poster... So, I have an older generation Apple Time Capsule (I think the one before they went tall and thin), and while it continues to access the Internet just fine and provides good WiFi, the Time Capsule drive no longer works. I'd like to hear some...

TC=Time Capsule, TM=Time Machine No new Airport products are on the timeline. Maybe Apple is moving to the cloud? I don't know, but my ~4 year old TC is showing it's age and I'm now planning to upgrade my network to the Asus RT-AC68U. The question is what do I do with TM? I like backups. Do I...

Hi, I have an Airport Time Capsule 3TB. I want to use it for backup of 4 Macs and as a shared hard drive. The problem is that I have no access to the ethernet wire and the WIFI I use is share with the rest of the people of my co-working space, so I don't feel like it is safe to use it. How do I...

Hi everyone :) Currently I have a 2011 Mac Mini and am looking at getting a 2017 MacBook Pro to replace it, relegating the Mini to use as file/print server. So what I want to do is get an Airport Time Capsule 2/3TB to backup both machines with, however I don't want to use the Airport network...

Hi folks, I'm looking to replace my first-generation Time Capsule (circa 2008) with something new that supports 802.11ac. I'd like to keep the convenience of wireless Time Machine backups, but the most recent Time Capsule is really expensive (~$300) and likely to be discontinued soon. Is there...

Several years ago, I got a Time Capsule and I like it (the old form factor). Recently, I was researching a graduation gift to get for my nephew (laptop and auto-backup solution). I was surprised to see that on Apple's site, that the current Time Capsule gets pretty lousy reviews from customers...

Hi, Sorry if the title doesn't make much sense, but my question (I hope) is quite simple. I have an AirPort Time Capsule (an older model) - it is currently in a upstairs in a room with a DVR which has no wireless capabilities (it needs to be connected via Ethernet). The modem/router from my...

The issue is I have two older Time Capsules that I use for Time Machine backups on four Mac's. One is wired to the router by ethernet, and the other three are wireless. With the Time Capsules going bad, yet again, I am left with my FIOS Wireless router only. If I plug an external USB enclosure...

Hello, I have a macbook mid 2012 with an ssd in the main drive and an hdd in the disk drive. The ssd boots with mountain lion and the hdd was until now used for file storage. I've set the time machine to backup this whole system in the time capsule and so far it worked just fine. Recently I...

Using my 2012 Macbook Pro with Sierra, I tried to telnet into a 2014 Mac Mini inside my home. Both computers are on the NAT home-side of my Time Capsule router. For a while I was receiving a very mysterious IP address response back. Hopefully someone can help me understand why. I have the...

Hello forum, with my former iPad Air 2 and my time capsule I never had any WiFi issues. Now I have a new Ipad Pro and every few days the iPad connects to my time capsule Wifi but I have zero data throughput. The only thing that works is to shut off the iPad and start new. Only disable WiFi on...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but not new to the site or tech. As the subject states, for some reason, I am being blocked from seeing certain sites or having iMessage work properly (synching and non-delivery). I have tried on both regular and 5GHz networks. It started a few days ago from...

I am getting this message when trying to backup data. I searched for this topic in this forum and found a similar entry posted several years ago and the issue was not resolved. This started, I believe, after the recent firmware update to my 3T time capsule. Airport Utility/disks displays...

My wifes 15" macbook pro i7 retina recently started having some issues due to old OS (10.7.5). Couldnt back up iphone etc.. So I decided to upgrade to Sierra. Unfortunately this left apps unusable and printers incapacitated. Before I updated I made sure the entire computer was backed up to time...

Is there anybody has the same issue, I need to reset(power off and on) the device for Mac to recognize the backup disk.

Hey Guys, I think this problem started when I installed Sierra, but I cannot be 100% sure actually. So I got a 2TB Time Capsule a while ago because I wanted to be able to wirelessly backup my iMac and MacBook. I setup the whole thing and even use it as a router. All of this worked fine on both...
