Reviews for Time Capsule - 2TB

When I bought my 2TB time capsule I heard of a lot of bad comments but I did not believe on it since I was to confident that apple products are always the best. Now my time capsule just stop working after two years of using it, since I'm using it as a back up, now I cannot open all files that I save from my time capsule. I hope apple can do something about this. AT LEAST HELP ME TO RETRIEVE MY FILES.....

Ok,

So here goes, I was very hesitant to purchase the time capsule because of the poor reviews from the last year. I spoke with customer support on line and was assured that the bugs had been worked out and the time capsule is working wonderfully. So I took the chance and purchased it. Well nervously I opened it and plugged it in. Well within 1 minute the network was up and running and the wireless is AMAZING! It is faster than anything I have ever used. So now it's time to back up all my files and my music and I am scared to death but SURPRISE! It was too easy to do and wicked fast! So in summary this is worth every single penny!

So now whats next! Thanks Apple

I absolutly love this product. My computer was so full of music and movies that I couldn't even enjoy the apple TV I purchased cuase the computer was just so slow. This made my day when I could store all my movies and music on it and then reference the information so that my computers and laptops were empty and free to run at peek efficency.

I have spoken to techs at apple about what I had purchased it for and they all said that there would be glitches since it's not what it was designed for. So far so good. But I would suggest that apple look into this and maybe design it for this purpose if some poeple are having problems.

This is by far the most usefull apple product I have bought yet.

Thank You APPLE!

My new time Capsule kept saying it was "unable to find hard drive" when attempting to backup with Time Machine over wifi. After restarting the device I could get my MBP to recognize it again, but after this happened too many times I decided to return it. Also on its third day the Time Capsule said there was a "verification" problem and had to backup my entire computer from scratch again, erasing any old backup. Oof. The point of having a backup is feeling safe, and I just don't feel safe with these errors. Too bad, such a great concept. But sometimes the Steve Jobs motto "it just works" just isn't true.

Like most folks have said this was great until it stopped.

This was my second TC that died within 2 years. I had the good fortune with the first one to at least die within warranty. This one was a refurb (which I've had great experience with Apple refurb products) and once again it died. Doesn't even light up. Looks like the major issue with the product is the power supply.

Do yourself a favor and buy the Airport Extreme instead and attach a hard drive. At least that way you have hard drive storage expansion options.

Apple should ditch the TC product if it can't get it's quality control straigthened out. At this point is only a drag on the legendary Apple brand.

It just works!

I was quite impressed on how easy it was to setup and it's working great as my wireless router with more than 5 devices connected to it.

I've got two Mac Book Pro's on Time Machine and it backing up seamlessly. I had to recently use time machine as I had inadvertantly changed some images and it was simple to bring back those images to their previous state. Highly recommended!

And bonus I have an external hard drive now connected to it and I can access it through wifi. No longer do I need to hook it up to my computer anymore. Very Nice!

Everything on our iMac was gone. Photo's, Music, TAX FILES!!! yeah a full restore took a fair while..but on reboot, my heart pounding, it was as before...yes even the tax files. Awesome Product!

This may be a fine solution for a time-machine backup, but I do not recommend it as a wireless share drive for a time to centrally store and swap files.

We've been using a Time Capsule at our office as a share drive for a couple of years now. We haven't lost data (I've hear some say that they're unstable) but it is CONSTANTLY crashing my machine when trying to copy or delete relatively large chunks of data (500 MB+).

If you are only using this as a Time-Machine backup, or if you have limited need to move data, this might be a fine solution. But if you have large video, image, or other groups of files that you need to move, copy, or delete, steer clear.

We've finally gotten a LaCie server (15TB for about $1,700) and even migrating bit by bit from the Time Capsule machine has me banging my head against the desk. I want to throw this thing out the window.

I only give it three stars because I realize it may do a good job as a regular Time-Machine backup.

I am new to Macs. I wanted something that was easy to set up and worked with my Time Machine software. Set up was very easy and straightforward. For a newbie this was just what I wanted, and well worth the price. I can sleep well at night knowing that green light on the TC is glowing bright and protecting my files/photos/& music. I would highly recommend Time Capsule as a backup!

The Time Capsule (2nd gen.) power supply went belly up one month short of th 3 year anniversary. Apple did replace the failed unit with overrnight delivery. That's the good news. The bad news is the 3 years of backups went out the window because Apple has no service for moving the data between the two units. I am using an external disk for my backups for now on. I'll use the internal disk for typical use and backup to the external USB drive.
