Hey guys,
Today, the 2TB Time Capsule is on sale for just under the €250,- euro's nearby my home.
I own a MacBook Pro 15'' Retina, an iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
Within few months I'm going to buy a iMac too, so I have to make the decision.
Since last year I got my eyes on an Apple Time Capsule, because I want to have an Apple 'eco system' in my home. I want to backup my files, like my Aperture library, iTunes movies, music, documents and all stuff like that.
I also want to backup my MacBook, just instead if it crashes (I always like to test beta's, so I could switch easy back if I want to downgrade to a lower version of OS X).
I got some questions about the Time Capsule by itself, hope you guys can answer them.
1. Does the Time Capsule support Windows in a good way?
I mean, I got 2 desktops in my home and it is really important to get fast internet.
2. Is the 2TB drive just like my Dropbox folder?
I got Dropbox installed on my Mac and Windows platforms, and it is just like a seperate folder I can access. Is the Time Capsule just like that?
3. Do I have access to the 2TB partition, or just a little of that?
4. Can I play (iTunes converted) movies directly on my Apple TV via the Time Capsule?
5. Can I access the files placed on the Time Capsule also on a Windows pc, iPhone or iPad?
Thank you very much, I'm pretty curious about it!
Oh, last but not least, in various games like Call of Duty (which I play a lot on my PS3) it says my 'nat' is 'open'. In the past I had some issues with the 'nat' of my router, I hope the Time Capsule won't be so difficult to configure?
