Ubuntu 14.04 - How to connect to Apple's Time Capsule?

Solution 1:

Make sure you have mount.cifs

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

I had a hard time with this too until I hit on this

In short, I added this line to my /etc/fstab file

//10.0.1.1/Data /media/timecapsule  cifs    password=<timecap pw>,uid=1000,sec=ntlm,user    0 0

10.0.1.1 is your TC IP address. uid is your user id to set the permissions and user allows you to mount it without being root. Then from a terminal you can "mount /media/timecapsule" and it will work.
