How to browse Time Capsule files with your iPad or iPhone

If you then click the 'Manual Setup' button you will see the next screen...

Finding TimeCapsule's Address

1. Click the "Airport" icon at the top of the utility.
2. Select the "TimeCapsule" tab to reveal the page to the right. Then click the "TimeCapsule Name:" field to reveal the full network name (shown in small text next to the "Edit..." button). In this example it is "TimeCapsule.local". Enter this into FileBrowser's "Address" field.

If you cannot connect we suggest you try using the IP address instead. To do this:

1. To find the IP address of your TimeCapsule, for FileBrowser's "Name or URL" field, click the "Airport" icon at the top of the utility and then click the "Summary" tab.
2. The IP address is shown in small text at the bottom of the screen.
3. If this IP address doesn't work, please try using the one shown in the first screen, as per the screenshot at the top of this page.

Enable File Sharing

1. Select the "Disks" icon at the top of the utility.
2. Select the "File Sharing" tab.
3. Ensure that "Enable file sharing" is ticked.
4. Choose from the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down list. The FileBrowser supports all 3 modes.
   • If you choose the "With accounts" option, the username you configure here is the same one you will need to enter into FileBrowser's Username field.
   • For the other 2 options, you can leave FileBrowser's Username field blank and just enter the password.
