will we see a "One more thing" tomorrow and if so what do you think it will be?
I think one of the things every one wants or least hopes for at an apple keynote is the “One more thing”. Do you think we will see one more thing tomorrow and if so what do you think or hope it will be? With the rumors going around about the short stock the time capsule and Airports I wonder if they will be the one more thing. One of the rumors out there is that “iCloud” will really replace the iTunes on your machine. If that’s true and they really go the mode of the over the air for...

I've configured my vanilla Buffalo NAS (With SMB Share) to work with my Mac over WiFi.
I've followed the instructions here: http://lifehacker.com/5691649/an-easier-way-to-set... Been using it now for a few weeks with few issues.

I have 3 Time capsules only thing you really have too watch out for is over heating. You need too make sure they have good ventilation.
I have had to have one fixed because of over heating, but the hard drive was fine. The sever grade hard drives are great the router can not handle enclosed spaces. My 2 cents I have 1 500 , 2 1T time capsules

Was using this as wireless access point, router and time machine until the other day, when the wireless speed dropped off to virtually zero (after about three…
years of pretty steady performance), and no amount of tinkering could get it working at normal speed again. Had to replace the WAP with a Netgear WNR2000 which works very well. Will still use Time Capsule for Mac backups.

I just wanted to say that our Time Capsule 1 TB saved us yesterday, when my wife's MacBook hard disk croaked after 2 years.
We took the Mac to get a new hard drive, restored from the last backup, and voila, she's good to go once again. Seamless, simple experience, and fast restore via Ethernet as well. Regardless of which tool you guys use, though... please backup your data regularly. You will not regret it!

Out of Space on my Time Capsule, What Should I Do Now?
I have an iMac 27, Macbook, and Macbook Pro that are all backuped by a 1TB Time Capsule (via Time Machine, of course). The 'ole Time Capsule is almost full. What should I do now? I was thinking about connecting a Drobo/Drobo S to the Time Capsule with the hopes of adding more storage space for the Time Machine backups but the initial research that I've done doesn't indicate this would be a reliable setup. Ideally, I'd like one device to backup all the computers as opposed to each...

Is it the only one of its kind?
Hey again gdgt-eers! I want to know whether there is another company that makes combo NAS + Wireless Routers (a/b/g/n) in 2TB. I would like to buy a 2TB, NAS wireless router for my family (I'm the resident "tech guy") but I don't want to have to pay $650AUD. Does WD, Seagate, D-Link or Belkin make a combo NAS Wireless Router in a/b/g/n that is cheaper than an Apple Time Capsule? If not, what other companies? Or is Apple the pioneer in this situation...

Need alternative to Time Capsule Backup
Hey guys, I have a Time Capsule, and LOVE the backup capabilities. I have noticed a major flaw in the backup process. The other day my NVIDIA graphics card blew the logic board, and my computer was out of action for a couple of days while being repaired at the Genius Apple Bar.. Knowing all my work was backed up on Time Capsule, I soon realised that I could not access it without a new computer to restore it to. As far as I know Time Capsule backs up into a single file, but not a file that you...

HDD Upgrade?
Has anyone had success dropping a larger drive into a Time Capsule? I've filled my 500GB drive and would not mind dropping in a larger one.

Streaming from Time Capsule to PS3
Heres an interesting notion, will the apple time capsule stream to the PS3. I am thinking about buying a time capsule back up my files, but was wondering if anyone has had any success in streaming their media from the time capsule to a PS 3 (like with Apple TV)

Time Machine refresh?
Does anyone think Apple will be updating the 500GB and 1TB Time Machines to 1TB and 2TB respectively this year?

Using Time Capsule with OSX Server ?
I am considering purchasing a MacMini to use as a home media server / backup server for my MacBook Pro. I would also like to get a Time Capsule and use that as an extra level of security on top of the Mini. Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Time Capsule to backup an OSX Server machine? Does it need any hacking or does it just work?

Why not with 2 mirrored disks?
I think it would be great and really usefull if Time Capsule could have 2 mirrored disks.
