Does this work with apple time machine and time capsule?

Yes, technically it is supposed to. I have had tons of trouble, however, and if you google for tech support on this issue, you will find a lot of people have trouble making it work in reality. I could certainly not recommend it for this use.

Hi John, it will works perfectly and if you want to make a backup using your Time Machine you only need to chance in your Utility Disk the status to -> Mac OS Plus (registrer).

yes, used it with iMac 27, and several other macs, works great. I suggest to create a synology user for each iMac time machine and set a quota. This way, the oldest backup will be removed automatically. If you dont set a disk quota, the backups can use up the entire synology disk space.

There is a difference between Mac compatibility and Time Machine compatibility.Time Machine is much more stable with AFP, which this does not support. But Mac OS X can read/write to Samba shares (just not Time Machine), which this does.So, yes, this is compatible with Mac. No, it will not be very reliable with Time Machine.

Yes. No problem. Just hook it up to your Mac, open up Time Machine and follow the simple instructions.

Not out of the box...the backup features the Time Capsule uses are built into the Mac OS X software. This link might help explain it better than I could: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229376

I use the drive via my time capsule usb. Works great. I formatted the drive when it was brand new.

No. The Time Capsule cannot do both a Time Machine backup and backup other folders. However, what I do and it woks very well: I do Time Machine backups to the Time Capsule, and plug an external drive into he USB port of the Time Capsule. A WD My Passport 1 or 2 TB woks fine. All this can be wireless or wired. However, the Time Capsule should be your network wireless router connected by ethernet to your modem, even if the modem is wireless. If you have AppleCare on your iMac, let hem lead you through the set up. I did. I have two TCs.

I think the same mount works for either AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. The manufacturer website should have the details though.

If you don't want Time Capsule's backup capability, Airport Extreme will do. I use Time Machine to back up to Time Capsule, which is why I went with that. I have never had a problem with Time Capsule. We have two, in fact, working in synch and running on the same network. Had to call Apple Support to get them working right, but their support is first-rate. Once they were set up properly we forgot them. They do their jobs quietly day in and day out.

The Time Capsule has a built in HardDrive that can be used to automatically backup your Macs while you are on your home network. The Airport Extreme does not have this. If you dont have any Macs at home get the airport extreme. Older time capsules had issues with reliability, I've had one of these models since 8/2011 without any issues. DROBO is nice, but it's expensive. If you have unlimited funds, I'd recommend the drobo.

I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.4 and it works great with it. I use it as a backup disk with Time Machine.

Works great with OS 10.6.8 and USB 2.0. I don't use time machine with it. I just access it manually when I need it through the finder.

I use this exclusively with multiple Mac's, and it performs beautifully, dependent on the reliability and speed of your router, of course. I'm not sure what you mean by your plans to connect via a time Capsule, which is an independent drive. You'll need to connect through a router, I think, such as the Airport Extreme or any other router with an open ethernet port. Check the Seagate page for the specific configuration you plan, and I think they'll prove responsive to any questions you have. Hope this helps.

Yeah..I believe you can connect this to your time capsule within the router range.
