Q: need manual for time capsule 1 TB

There are several different versions of the 1 TB Time Capsule.

To get the right manual to you, we need the model number of the Time Capsule. It is on the bottom of the device, usually embedded in the foam pad base. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.

Might be.....A1254.....A1302.....A1355.

Gail,

The link that you provided shows only one 1 TB model of the Time Capsule, and there were 3.  Do you have another link?

No, sorry Bob, I don't. I didn't think that the capacity changed the manual instructions? I see both the tall one pictured as well as the flat one, so thought that the 1TB could be either?

There are no 1 TB versions of the "tall" Time Capsule. The 1 TB version(s) were model numbers A1254 (1st Gen), A1302 (2nd Gen), or A1355 (3rd Gen).

If the OP will tell us what model he has, we can get him fixed up.  Looks like Apple removed the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen manuals, but there are other sources.

OK, gotcha! Sorry for the confusion

Well, I'm glad it was one of the ones on the link We lucked out!

Cheers,

As we noted above, if you have a 1 TB version of the Time Capsule, you have one of the following model numbers:

A1254

A1302

A1355

If you have model A1409, then you do not have a 1 TB model.....since the A1409 was available with either a 2 TB or 3 TB hard drive only. A 1 TB version was not offered. The A1409 was also known as the 4th Generation Time Capsule. 

Depending on when this model was originally sold, it is at least 3 years old and as much as 5+ years. The average useful life of this version of the Time Capsule was about 3 years, so it would be a good idea to keep an eye on things....and back up the data on the Time Capsule to another hard drive at least once a month or so.
