[QUOTE="AtGame7, post: 1634805, member: 341374"] When I bought my MacBool Air (first Mac I have owned) I also bought a Time Capsule and maybe I misunderstood it's capabilities when the salesman explained it to me. I understand how to backup my Mac, but I thought he also said it would back up any IOS device and I haven't been able to find out how to backup my iPhones. Second, the MacBook Air I bought only has 128 meg of memory, I wanted one with a flash drive instead of a regular HDD but the salesman said not to worry about the small amount of onboard memory because the Time Capsule could be used as an external hard drive and not just for a backup machine. Is that accurate? Can I use it as an external hard drive and run programs off it? Third, can I store items like documents and photos on the Time Capsule without them being on my Mac itself? I have way more than 128 meg of photos I want to keep safe but I don't want them taking up space on my MacBook. Can I use the Time Capsule for storage, external hard drive? Thank you for any help you can offer. [/QUOTE]
