Apple 2TB Time Capsule Setup & Review

[@GardenG1979]

it's nice that there are still people that make their videos worth watching

[@shanepward22]

Mine is stil new and in the box. Your review made me feel more confident about actually opening it.

[@Meanpooh]

The common person that can read can setup any router on a web interface. Although I am an Apple fan boy I consider DD-WRT to be the ultimate in control on a compatible router. With that said I can agree that the Time Capsule is a fantastic product from my experience.

its 2023

[@DanielBliss]

Thanks, that was an excellent, and practical overview. Not enough like this on KZbin. I don't have anything against the typical 13y/o reviewer's cracking voice, it's their overall delivery. Thank you for a reasonably paced description and for including a lot of key elements. Now to go pull the plug on my ultra-reliable, and nearly 10y/o, WRT54G and upgrade to the same TC you have here.

[@Gary_and_Linda]

I had 2 apple time capsules and both died. Heat is what kills these things and they do get HOT. I highly recommend that you do a regular backup of the time capsule to another external device. Good Luck!

[@MegaHDGAMERZ]

okey do I have to have a ethernet cable to it or can I conect it to my wifi?

[@HUNT1756]

Enjoyed. Just purchase my Time Capsule 3tb this week and your video, helped me get started. Thanks

[@piyushapps]

Can we access Time Captule same as external hard disk.. as file system menu...u knw when u connect external hard disk through USB how u access it...is it same way?? also, if it is possible..can u share small video showing that....planning to buy...thnks...appreciate prompt reply..

[@charubeable]

hi, thanks for your video. so, i don't need the existing router any more?

[@tinosailing]

Sorry for the question but i need a big hard drive , this will work or i need to look for something different? thanks a lot for the time.

[@negovei1]

Can you back up more then one computer on one time capsule or you have to have one for each computer , Thanks!

[@timramirez4121]

CAN YOU USE THIS AS A CLOUD-BASED HARD DRIVE?

[@phmayor]

I just spent the big bucks on the 3TB model. So far it's working and was easy to set-up, but I'm a little confused about why I would need to use it to create another WiFi network? I already have a WiFi network and I have the time capsule connected to my Ethernet network, which is faster and more secure. Any idea why or if I would need to use WiFi with this time capsule, either as part of my existing WiFi network or as an additional separate network? Thanks.

[@lilbuddylee131]

Thanks for making this video. Now I have a new found respect for my time capsule.

can I plug in an external drive to time capsule and use that drive to back up my Mac?

[@pepeelyuma]

Does it have a solid state hard drive or just standard ??

[@allanmuir4600]

Excellent review I have just bought the Time capsule and will get back to you with my comments, hopefully as you say first time out the box it will be up and running!

[@allanmuir4600]

OK, I configured the time capsule first go, so I guess like you deserve top marks, excellent stuff thanks for making it so much easier

[@michaelm.4251]

Great review. I have a question, can I use this time capsule in bridge mode, to use the time capsule as an external hard drive?? If so how? I have a mac I hope you can help me out. Thanks

[@shZibal]

hello techgooch. i'm glad i found this helpful video. I got Time capsule too its 2TB. but I don't know how to use. do i need to buy usb to usb chord if im just going to use like external drive? and can i use it in any PC/laptop or windows OS? thankyou...

[@TGGTheGloryofGod]

@ techgooch, can you please answer this guy question!

[@iFixJapan]

How many MB / S when file transfer this machine? mine is 30MB/S it is feel too slow in 2021. Any suggestion?

[@olliewaddington7535]

do i need a wired router with this or can i just buy a gigabit switch and connect it that way???? please answer

[@matrixixix]

Thanks for the review. Just bought one. Yet to open and set it up. Now I'm excited. One question for you. Have you noticed any interference from other radio devices? Sometimes when we turn our baby monitor on it drastically cuts down the wifi signal. Like I said this is the case with our soon to be replaced old linksys router.

[@shZibal]

by the way i dont wan't to use for wifi or router.. i prefer as usb to usb chord as external drive only? without WAN ports? is it possible? thanks

[@ckneasel]

Can you not set up the Time Capsule to only back up weekly...? Seems in the menu it doesn't give you an option... I'm using a MacBook, not a PC...

[@squeakypistolas]

stupid question: can i set up the Capsule hardwired with a network cable straight into the mac? i don't want it to back up wirelessly

[@techgooch]

Yes

[@squeakypistolas]

***** thank you for replying - can you please point me to the right direction where I can see a tutorial for this set up I.e - hard wire set up - sorry I am a bit challenged with this :(

[@techgooch]

+Guanaco Selvado it is the same as hard wire setup for a router, but for the time capsule you have to connect to the shared drive you setup through AirPort Utility. I no longer have a time capsule, so I cannot do a video on it, I am sorry.

[@slavezero1117]

I would like to buy one of these but can i have my pc, Mac, ipad work nsync with my network printer?

[@MrFreestyleShowcase]

I had the same time capsule. And I cannot seem to set it up with my mac I don't know what I did wrong but it is not getting recognized when I plug it in. Help!

[@techgooch]

If you set it up with AirPort Utility you should be able to setup the disk as well.

[@MrFreestyleShowcase]

+techgooch I have reset it and I have to go into some settings. But do not know if I am doing it properly. Do I delete settings once I plug it in?

[@hongxiamo5440]

my keep flash yellow.

[@kogarcia03]

My wife has been bugging me about buying a time capsule for the past 2 months for her Macbook Air and my Pro; for back up reasons. Never knew you could use it as a wifi router though. My only concern now is can the PS3 connect to it if I use the time capsule as the primary router in the house.

[@bobgatewood5277]

can i connect this thing directly to my pc?

[@startstevia6563]

thank you, I can't access to my time capsule, prevously I had access to the DATA file part of the timecapsule, but all the sudent now I can't find the access that previously showed in the Finder. Is there a way to recover the access? I have many files, pics, and videos there, it is really important to recover all that. thank you again

[@starrwoman1]

Thank you so much for the review, I was thinking about getting an Apple 2TB Time Capsule and use my old Apple Airport Extreme for an extended switch. I do have one question about the futurist ed motorcycle on your desktop. Where can I get info and a picture of it? It look like something from the movie,Tron. :-)

[@bekeycoconut9990]

How Do You Stop The Hackers, from Hacking The Apple 2TB Time Capsule ?

[@Goku6541]

so there is free wifi right

[@motenta]

can a windows user use the time capsule as a wireless external hard drive? if yes, how do you reach it? like trough 'my computer'?

[@techgooch]

Network devoces

[@BlackShadow233]

I agree im wondering is it a router as well as a external wireless storage device?

[@BlackShadow233]

And how many devices can it connect.

[@DevanshuMevada]

do time capsule provide internet over wifi?

[@juniorlopez1860]

What do I do if mine is flashing orange and cannot find it on the airport utility even though I keep rescanning

[@sal5231]

Great Video techgooch ? I follow your video when I open the Airport Utility it started to scan but getting a message, was unable to find any airport wireless devices. need help thanks.

[@DebraCarmona]

I do not understand how to use the Time Capsule. My Mac is maxed out in memory. I want to be able to store information on the Time Capsule so I can free up space on my Mac. I also want to be able to to retrieve the stored information at a later date. I am so afraid to delete files on my Mac for fear that when the automatic back ups take place it will only save what is remaining and previous data will be erased. Can you help me understand how this works.

[@BookofShino]

Can you make this your base router with AT&T service

[@techgooch]

+Stewart Coleman I do not have AT&T, but if you can use any router, than yes

[@HSfranciscans]

You may just be an answer to my prayers. I've got standard cable set up, then a Vonage phone device, but so far no one can figure how to make it all run wireless. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Friar Aida

[@01rowell]

Where do I plug the Ethernet cable into on my router. I understand I plug it into the WAN on my AirPort Extreme, however not sure if I connect it to the WAN or LAN on my router.

[@alysialauralee1716]

You have really helped me but I don't no why dad wants the time capsule he's also bought a netgear dm 111p n since dad has his laptop he doesn't care the old computer works or not could you help please

[@loz1141]

i am wanting to get a Time Capsule so i can move my massive iTunes library on to it instead of it all being on my MacBook and for using it as my Time Machine back ups. BUT, being in the military, living in the block, am i able to use it with WiFi. Is there a way of using it with a hard wire (USB or Thunder Bolt)???

[@omgryaanz]

do we have to connect a ethernet cable into our computer? now I've got power cable connected and the ethernet cable connectef to my modem and it is still not working.

[@anetapostek9833]

I am still not sure. Does it mean I can actually connect my internet cable directly to Time Capsule without connecting to my router? Do I have to connect my laptop to Time Capsule with the cable? I would prefer to connect it wireless.

[@david.gourde]

The Time Capsule is a router by itself, you simply need your mac to be connected to the time machine's wifi (your home wifi if you use it as your router as well, as you should). No need to connect physically to the time capsule to backup your laptop.

[@divyaa857]

how long did it take you to upload the video while using the apple wi-fi????????????

[@terryterry1655]

How to access files within time capsule?

[@joelpatrick3754]

[@darrenchandler2684]

[@gdcat777]

Did you buy apple care just in case?

[@rohitmagic009]

[@houss3105]

Is it a router?

[@cistamlaka19]

[@alin1998ael]

can i use it without internet (wireless)? i mean can i use it as an external harddrive please some one reply fast

[@MikeRobishaw]

If I reset to factory settings, will my data be lost. I cannot detect it on my HP All In One PC. I downloaded Airport Utility and when I opened it up, it immediately found the TC, but when I updated it, it could not find it.

[@techgooch]

+Mike Robishaw if you reset the network settings, it should not reset your drive, but if you reset the drive it woll

[@Zemine77]

[@MrBlackchevy11]

Im out of space on my macbook pro since i have about 50 movies in my itunes library an have many photos... etc Anyways ive been trying to look around an figure out what the best option is for me. Im considering getting the Seagate Backup Plus 1TB USB 3.0 but then ive heard some good things about the time capsules. What are the main things that someone would buy a time capsule opposed to just a external drive? Can anybody give me any help?

[@maxsaby]

Great review for a First time Apple time capsule user, easy and Thanks for your help.

[@techgooch]

+Max Sabbione great! Glad to help!

[@achmathariyanto2071]

Saya masih tidak yakin. Apakah itu maksud saya benar-benar dapat menghubungkan kabel internet saya langsung ke Waktu Kapsul tanpa menghubungkan ke router saya? Apakah saya harus menggunakan laptop saya ke Time Capsule dengan kabel? Saya lebih suka menggunakannya nirkabe

[@Scotty_Hawaii]

Question: I use my neighbors free wifi signal, thank you neighbor...my question is if I get a time capsule can I pick up his signal and boost my own reception of his signal within my house? Does anyone know what I mean? I wanna grab his signal and boost it in my house all without having access to his router, hopefully someone will know the answer...?

[@ezradevs]

Sorry I’m a little late lol but no, you need to get a wifi extender

[@AndrewBatrun]

Hello! which is the max speed from WAN to LAN port ( my isp gives my real i Gbit channel ) ? if u had tested it, plz note me any information. Thanks. WBR from Ukraine .

Thank you!!!!!!

I cant believe apple invented the time macchine

[@shishirjirge]

very well explained

[@bobsquires4521]

GREAT VIDEO!, and so good to hear - there's hope - you'll be a TAM before you know it, (er, a Total Apple Man with less and less focus on the inferior derivative devices which you do [and will] always have to re-start frequently,) XD .. and the 'Christmas Money?' Is that a bucket-to-truckload that Jesus or Santa brings down the chimney at (or around) the winter solstice because you've been such a good (Apple) guy-and you happened to be using electric heat that night so (t)hey survived the climb in and out - ?D

[@luisvilchez3214]

Is Very Good Device

[@black_baron_net]

☠️BLACK BARON☠️ It takes around 30 seconds to send a 100Mb printer spooler file over my Airport Network with HOPS to my printer. Why does it take so long for backing up data on a Time Capsule with one HOP?

High 5 for RAT7 ;)

Nice video! Congrats! However I do not recommend anybody to waste money with this crap. Every week a have to install and set up time capsule again.

[@rayjenkins1493]

Too confusing. Keeps changing reference between router and time capsule. No help.
