    Time Machine Backups on Time Capsule

    Hey Guys, I think this problem started when I installed Sierra, but I cannot be 100% sure actually.

    Time Capsule backup speed?

    I have a DSL internet connection. If I get an AirPort Time Capsule, will backups be sent to it at my 5Mb/s internet speed? Or will it transfer more quickly between the Mac and Time Capsule?

    Apollo Promise or Time Capsule

    Can someone explain the difference between the two? I bought the Promise but now am wondering if I need the time machine. My work requires me to hold a lot of photos but I need to easily access those photos as well. Any advice?

    Resolved AirPort Extreme Replacing Time Capsule as Router

    My wifi has been giving us fits as of late, and I'm fairly certain it's not the signal from the neighborhood node nor my modem, so that left my 2009 2TB Apple Time Capsule as the culprit. My Aiport Extreme showed up today, and I've had no issues with XBox, iPad, iMac, iPhones, etc. since...

    I have changed my internet service provider to get speed of 200 MBPS from Comcast. I have got 4th generation time capsule (802.11n). Will my time capsule be able to handle this speed ? OR Do I need to plan for an upgrade for latest time capsule with 802.11ac?

    How do I set up Time Capsule just for Time Machine?

    I have a current gen Time Capsule, but want to use a newer router instead that improves my WiFi coverage inside my home.

    Time Capsule issue

    I'm running a late 2012 iMac running 10.9.5 with a similar aged Time capsule connected via ethernet. Been set up like this since I bought it. On Sunday I get an error message saying my back up failed. Error code 999. So I looked and saw that it was just one or two back ups that had failed but...

    I now have a redundant 2010 Time Capsule, not needed for Wi-Fi or back up (which BTW never worked well anyway!) What to do with it, chuck it or is it possible to utilise the space on it for just storing some files films photos? If so how do I do it. Have looked on You Tube but nothing that is...
