 Excellent disk/router solution November 17, 2008

Excellent product. Design great as usual with apple.
Just a little remark, and I was not the only one, I did not succeed to connect the time capsule to my actual router by wifi.
I succeeded to do that only by Ethernet.

1TB Time Capsule - Home Office Upgrade October 10, 2008

I upgraded the OS on my iMac 21 and my wife's iMac19 from Tiger to Leopard (10.5.3) then immediately removed my old Linksys wireless router and installed a new 1TB Time Capsule. I then shutdown the Comcast modem (it carries VoIP, Cable TV and Broadband) plus Time Capsule, and both iMacs - completely. I made sure the Comcast modem back-up batteries were removed as the internal electronics have to be completely drained... for at least 5 minutes. Then, I powered up the Comcast modem and allowed all lights to sequence on. Waited 5 minutes, then powered up the Time Capsule and waited about 5 minutes for the front panel light to turn green. Then I powered up one iMac. At this point Airport 5.3 recognized the Time Capsule. I turned TC off, the powered up the second iMac - did same and turned TC off on it. At this point I went back to my iMac21 and turned TC ON and allowed it to backup the drive which took about 8 hours. The iMac19 took about 4 hours. All is running perfectly. I am very pleased with the product!!
Don't Buy Unless You Are An IT Professional! September 22, 2008

I am the proud owner of this $485 paperweight. I tried to set up today; converting from a Linksys Wireless Router connected to cable modem. Following the poorly written directions did not result in a connection. I spent an hour on the phone with a distracted support person who got it working. Thirty minutes later it stopped working. Another hour on the phone with support whose answer for everything is a reset and closing and opening the Airport utility, I gave up and tried to revert back to my Linksys router. Now the Mac won't recognize that anymore either. So, not only did the Time Capsule fail to work as advertised, it poisoned my connection with my old wireless router. If you are not an IT Pro who can troubleshoot complex things yourself, don't buy this because it doesn't talk to Macs very well and the support people are not helpful. I will now be checking what my return options are.
BEWARE - Timecapsule is worse than no backup at all! August 27, 2008

The problem with using a Timecapsule is that it provides you a great--but FALSE--sense of security. I had one for months and it always seemed to be working great, backing up my data every hour. Then it began to fail, unable to connect with my computer. The problem is that Apple techs really have no understanding of this product themselves--it's the ultimate black box--no one knows really what its doing or how long it should take. Tech support will tell you to wait for hours and try backing up again, but if Time Machine doesn't "fix itself", they only have one solution: reset the time machine, which means ERASE all your data. Apparently this happens quite frequently. So all along you have been operating with a false sense of security, which may have kept you from making smaller, reliable backups onto hard disks. This product is therefore really a menace, worse in many ways than not backing up at all!!
