A leap forward for backup.
Time Capsule. Automatic wireless backup for your Mac. Available in 2TB and 3TB models.

One click. Continuous backup.

Backing up is something we all know we should do, but often don't. And while disaster is a great motivator, now it doesn't have to be. Because with Time Capsule, the nagging need to back up has been replaced by automatic, constant protection. And even better, it all happens wirelessly, saving everything important, including your sanity.

Even faster Time Machine backup.

Time Capsule includes a wireless 2TB or 3TB hard drive designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard or later. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that's it. Depending on how much data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up - automatically, wirelessly, and in the background. So you never have to worry about backing up again. Even better, new technologies in Time Capsule and refinements to Time Machine make backing up to Time Capsule using Snow Leopard up to 60 percent faster than before.

Backup for everyone.

Have multiple Mac computers in your house? Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Mac running Mac OS X Leopard or later on your wireless network. No longer do you have to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. Time Capsule spares you the work.

Room for it all.

Time Capsule is your one place for backing up everything. Its massive 2TB or 3TB server-grade hard drive gives you all the capacity and safety you need. So whether you have 250 songs or 250,000 songs to back up, room is the last thing you'll run out of. And considering all that storage and protection come packaged in a high-speed Wi-Fi base station, data isn't the only thing you're saving.

The ultimate wireless base station.

More than just a wireless hard drive, Time Capsule is also a full-featured AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n technology. Experience a high-speed wireless network and a breakthrough way to back up all the Mac computers on your network. All in one device.

Fits your Wi-Fi lifestyle.

You can rest assured that Time Capsule works with other certified 802.11n devices. And it's compatible with Mac computers and PCs that use 802.11a, b, or g technologies, as well as wireless devices such as iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Apple TV.

Simultaneous dual-band operation.

Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Others can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, Time Capsule operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multiband devices automatically use the best available band.

Share the Internet securely with guest networking.

It's easy to allow guests to use your Internet connection without sharing your password or giving them access to the rest of your network. Simply enable the guest networking feature using the AirPort Utility application and create a separate Wi-Fi network just for your friends. You can set up this guest network with a different password or with none at all. Your primary network - including your printer, attached drives, or other devices - remains secure.

Print command central.

The included USB port is great for sharing a printer throughout your wireless network. Time Capsule and the Bonjour networking technology let everyone in the house or office - Mac and PC users alike - take advantage of one centrally located printer. And if you want to share both a printer and an additional hard drive, you can. Just connect a USB hub to Time Capsule. Whatever the combination, Time Capsule divides and conquers.

do you take apple gift cards? Will time machine also back up my windows 7 computer? will it store windows data on a separate file?

Asked by Joseph sargalski from TX | Dec 26, 2011

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

Time Machine will not back up Windows 7. Time Machine is an Apple software. However, Time Capsule wills how on Windows 7 as a network drive to which you can save files either manually or by a third party back up software.

Does this work with Lion? How does data transfer speed compare to Firewire 800?

Asked by Steven Van De Voorde from NY | Jan 16, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

Yes, this will work with Lion (10.7). This is a network connected drive (Airport Extreme Base station with a drive inside) so transfer speed will depend primarily on network speed.

Awesome Equipment, 2012-05-09
By Ricky 
I've tried many wireless transmitters over the last 15 years and this one has to be the best. Multiple frequency, automatic channel changing, strong signal, and most important ease of use. To top it off, it has a NAS drive built in, backing up your computer has never been easer.

Apple Time Capsule 2TB, 2012-07-18
By Pete 
I bought this to work with Time Machine and as a network wifi router. My old router was giving me trouble.

I love this new Apple. It was very easy to set up. I had it up and running in minutes. The signal I receive from it at the other end of our house is twice as strong as my old router.

My old router had a bunch of flashing lights that were annoying when it was operating. The Apple just sits there and does it's job without all the hoopla.

You could see Apple quality from the packaging to the desktop. It is another great Apple product.

Apple Time Capsule, 2012-08-19
By Steve 
Another "it just works" product from Apple. Replaced a 10 year old 802.11g Airport Extreme base station with the 802.11n unit. Ran Airport Utility 5.6 and it took care of everything after entering the new base station name and password(s) that were desired with WPA2 encryption. The unit came up as expected and all was back "on the air" within just a few minutes of unpacking the unit. My iMac (2011) is able to communicate with it at 450 megabits per second wirelessly. Other devices are slower than that but still well above the 802.11g speeds. Now if I could just get Time Warner Cable to provide a stable Internet connection (it goes up and down), I'll be ready to stream movies thru my Apple TV (65 Megabits per second connection). Streaming movies over the internal network (from one of the 3 computers in primary use) is very fast. The Time Capsule Hard Disk is very fast as well and all my major Macs have been backed up to it with no problems using TIme Machine. Took only an hour...

Apple Time Capsule 2TB, 2012-12-13
By David 
Okay what more do I need to say? It's an Apple product and as usual it works perfectly. I purchased it for my wife. It arrived, I gave it to her, she was thrilled, she opened the box, set it up, and she loves it. Installation was a breeze according to her and we are both very happy. Just it be known, I am by far a PC guy so I'm not just jumping on Apple bandwagon. I am no way biased either way, Apple products are just sexy! Also, highly functional.
