Hello, no experience with TC, but...
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

Can't imaging something not being covered there.

Can my time capsule 802.11n (4th gen) affect performance?
for several months i have been having trouble with what i think is excessive read/writing and a slowdown creating the dreaded beachballs. i especially have trouble when safari is open.
can my time capsule cause these symptoms? about a week ago i got a message that i was not connected to the internet even though i had just been using it. i called my isp (wow) thinking they were down. the rep said that they weren't having trouble, but he was getting a week signal from my router (time capsule).
in the last few days i have been experiencing beachball delays on my laptop, which uses my home wifi. i have not had trouble with my laptop before, only my intel imac.
when i run the airport utility, it tells me that my time capsule is ok.
is it possible that a failing time capsule is causing my problems? i bought the time capsule in early 2012.
here is my etrecheck report, if this helps.

thank you for your help.i'm writing to report. i downloaded the java update that a brody suggested. i ran fix disk permissions and then tried the internet. i started out using firefox and then chrome. they were nimble and responsive (sounds like a car review). then i tried safari. it was slowwwwwwwwwwww. no beachballs, now gray revolving circles. safari is /was so slow it often takes a while for a character i have typed to show up on the screen.
i have rerun etrecheck and the outdated javaapplet plugin message is still there as though i have not updated my imac.
i am going to remove some of the 3rd party software, but i'd like to be sure that i have accomplished what i needed to do re java.
does anyone have any other ideas about safari besides using another browser?
thank you.

I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme 802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?
You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.
-
When I start my MacBook Air, I get a problem report on the Time Capsule 802.11n. When I click Continue, it asks for a password. I don't know what the password is because I didn't set this up. How can I find out what the password is?
Who set it up?
-
GRRRRRRRRR— I feel like this is a version of a problem I see repeated here endlessly, but none of the threads I see about it is quite the same, or fixes my problem. We have a network with:
Airport Extreme 802.11n (4th generation), connected to DSL modem. Firmware 7.5.2
MBP 2006, running OS 10.6.7 ****
MBP 2008, running OS 10.5.x
ipads, iphone, shared printer, drive, etc.
Everything works fine EXCEPT the MBP 2006. It connects to the network, works for a while, and then after a certain amount of time (anywhere between a minute and several hours) it's dropped. The menu bar still shows a connection and full signal, but there's no connection (TCP or afp) and when I launch the Aiport Utility, it just says that no base stations can be found. The menu bar seems to be lying. Using the menu to turn Airport off and back on (or sleeping the laptop) works to reestablish the connection.
I do not have this problem with the MBP 2006 on other wireless networks (at work, or at my other home in another city). Just with the Airport Extreme
I've tried changing the channels, disabling IPv6 on the laptop and on the Airport Extreme, setting up a manual DHCP address, and changing the setting for "radio mode" of the base station from Automatic to 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n. I also read that there might be troubles with "mixed" networks with both 802.11g and 802.11n, so I upgraded the Airport card in my MBP 2006 to an AirPort Extreme 802.11 a/b/g/n, which made disk sharing much faster when it's working, but didn't put an end to the cut-outs
Hjalp? Why does the Airport Extreme keep dropping my MBP 2006 (or vice versa)? Are there other things I should be changing or disabling?OK, two possible leads:
1) Using the AirPort Utility, I disabled 802.11n, setting the AirPort Extreme to b/g only. This seemed to help— I didn't fall off the network all afternoon. (Setting it to 'n' only did not work, unfortunately, or else that would have been better, since it would have let me take advantage of the faster speeds for Time Machine to the shared disk)
2) Soon thereafter, for seemingly independent reasons, we starting having trouble with our DSL connection. We reset the AEBS to factor settings, which didn't solve the DSL problem (had to get a Windstream technician out for that), but since that reset, I've been connected with 802.11a and the MBP hasn't fallen off the wireless network once.
We'll see how it holds up, but for now, the recommendation seems to be first to reset the AEBS settings to factory default, and then try disabling 802.11n... -
I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4. I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule. I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network. Airport Express no longer connects to my network. I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.
TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?
If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

Apple TV and Time Capsule 802.11n -- idle timeout and group key stuff...
I've been having some wireless issues since moving to a Time Capsule to provide my 802.11n service.
I have my time capsule setup as an 802.11n only router, on a 5 ghz band only, with WPA2 security (AES-CCMP.) My reception is great -- but I've noticed in the logs that there's an idle disconnect that seems to occur about every 10 minutes.
What seems to be happening is that when the idle disconnect occurs, the AppleTV renews its connection. The problem, at least 90% of the time, is that if the "group key timeout" value in the Airport Admin Utility has been passed AND the idle timeout occurs, the unit appears to be unable to connect to the network unless you reboot OR reenter the network password.
The Time Capsule is setup strictly from a networking standpoint as a wireless bridge -- I have an existing network DHCP server, and during the disconnects, a DHCP renewal is not occurring.
Another observation when this issue is occurring: on the "Network" settings page, instead of selecting wireless network, you can select TCP/IP, and select "DHCP" and the unit will state that it has successfully connected to the network, and states the network name. The Time Capsule though doesn't show an active client; I have to assume this is some sort of bug.
Since the unit works fine after a reboot, I have to assume something isn't quite right with the way it is attempting to reconnect to grab an update group key after an idle timeout occurs.
I'd like to test this further, but I can't find anyway in the Airport Admin Utility to change the idle timeout value. There's a place to enter the group key timeout, but not the idle timeout.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior and found a way around it?

Message was edited by: Matt DomeniciJust one more follow-up post to say that I continue to have the same problem. (Just picked up my TC and aTV on Tuesday and didn't get a chance to do too much with it until this weekend.
I have the TC running in bridge mode to my FIOS Actiontec router. The Actiontec does DHCP for the home network (has to because of paculiarities with FIOS on MOCA with a cable TV set-top box) and runs an 802.11 g network for all my non-N hardware (iPhone, older computers, etc.). The TC runs 5 GHz N-only, and the aTV connects to that. I set things up this way because I wanted to keep the aTV and my N-capable computers on a dedicated wireless channel for speed.
Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to have to use the aTV on the G network, or perhaps ethernet, until this problem gets sorted out. -
Time Capsule 802.11n WiFi Hard Drive 1TB
Does this act as a Wireless Router as well?
Which wireless router will perform better XFINITY or my Time Capsule?
It is impossible to answer without a full breakdown of the network and what you do with it.
It may not even be possible if the XFINITY wireless is not bridgeable.
And there is usually no real need to choose. If your modem router is supplied keep using it as router.
Plug the TC in by ethernet and run it in bridge mode (that is router bridge). But you can still use the wireless on the TC. Simply set it up the way you want and make sure the two do not interfere with each other.. you can do this by locking radio channels. You can use identical SSID (wireless name) and security on both and the clients will join to the strongest signal. But it is better to use this setup with the two separated by a few meters at least if not in different rooms. -
I bought my time capsule a few weeks ago, it´s working fine. My question is what happens if I erase a file from my computer and a new back up is made in time capsule, will the file that was store in the previos back up also be areased?
that's the whole point of time machine, you can go back in time and hunt around your system to find a file deleted.
The best thing you could do to prove this is to do a backup, delete a file, do a backup again, then go back in time and find the file again... To prove this, I've just gone back to JUNE to find a file I deleted a while ago! -
AirPort Extreme 802.11n (4th Generation) no longer recognized by iPhone 4S
I'm a new community member so please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered and I didn't see it. DirectTV came to troubleshoot a DVR cinema connection device that had been wirelessly connected to my AirPort Extreme without incident since the DirectTV device was installed 6 months ago but stopped talking to the AirPort last week. The DirectTV technician asked me to unplug then plug back in the AirPort. Now, my iPhone 4S will no longer recognize the AirPort. The AirPort is not recognized in the AirPort Utility on my iPhone, but if I run the AirPort Utility on my iPad 2, it is found. I can see the AirPort on my wifi settings on my phone but I can no longer connect to the network. The iPad and my wife's iPhone 5 connects to wifi just fine. Also a windows 8 laptop which was previously able to connect to the AirPort can no longer connect. And, of course, the DirectTV device still will not connect. I am stumped. Please help. Thanks.
OK, two possible leads:
1) Using the AirPort Utility, I disabled 802.11n, setting the AirPort Extreme to b/g only. This seemed to help— I didn't fall off the network all afternoon. (Setting it to 'n' only did not work, unfortunately, or else that would have been better, since it would have let me take advantage of the faster speeds for Time Machine to the shared disk)

Time Capsule Disappears from Radius Base Stations List after adding
I'm running a Mac Mini with 10.7, Lion Server, and Server Admin Tools along with a Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation).
After I add the base station (you can see my steps below) the base station restarts and then disappears from the list. The base station is then ignored:

This is because it's not listed as a known base station in the radius config (as far as I can tell). No other errors (than the one above) listed in either radiusconfig Log or radiusd Log. I cannot figure out how to add the base station to the list! Do I need to just manually add it to the clients.conf? If I do that, I feel like I probably won't get any of the special features that come with the Server managing the base station. Has anyone else experience this?
The base station does get the configuration from the server when I set it up, it switches from WPA 2 Personal to WPA 2 Enterprise with a shared secret, the correct IP and port 1812.
The server does not have a firewall configured or enabled (for simplicity while configuring this...)
Here's how I set up Radius:
Selected the Time Capsule from the Hardware list in Server.app
Checked the box for "Allow user name and password login over wi-fi"
Opened up the Server Admin.app and selected my server
Expanded to choose RADIUS
Chose Configure RADIUS Service
Allowed all users
Selected my Base Station and entered the password
Used my default certificate
Accepted the default options
Let the Time Capsule restart
After the Time Capsule was back online, Base Stations lists 0 base stations.
Clicked on the Base Stations Tab and Chose Browse, selected the base station, entered the password, let the Time Capsule Restart, it shows up in the list, but when the list is refreshed, the Time Capsule no longer appears in the list.
Clicked on the add button ("+") and Added the information manually, set a shared secret, and let the Time Capsule restart, it shows up in the list, but when the list is refreshed, the Time Capsule no longer appears in the list.
Using Terminal, manually tried to add the Base Station: radiusconfig --capture-base-station 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.254
Entered a shared secret
Time Capsule restarted, was never listed in the radius configHello, I am having the same exact problem. Have you figured out a solution?

I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2. I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works. Unfortunately that stopped today. I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool. I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time. Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable. I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer. I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday. All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor. Anybody who can help me??? Thanks
John, thanks for the email so quickly.
I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical. I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar. In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both. I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail. I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.
Thoughts???
