Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
Not sure what you mean here. 
A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive.  You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

    Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
    Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Elba,
    Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
    I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
    I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
    The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
    If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
    Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
    Kind regards,
    Nik

  • I have a 1 TB Time Capsule on a wireless network with my iMac and my wife's MacBook Pro.  The TC is almost full. What is the best way/device to increase storage capacity?

    Replace the Time Capsule with one that has a larger hard drive. Or erase the one you have and start a new set of backups or backup one of the computers to a different backup drive.

  • I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

    I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
    It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

    Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working.  Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside?  Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

  • Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
    If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
    To remove the image capture preferences:
    If Aperture is running, quit Aperture,  and log off and on again.
    Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/  then hit return.
    In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
    and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture  something .plist  remove them too.
    then try again.
    And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
    ~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
    You can reveal it also  from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

  • HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

    Trying to connect my new Apple TV to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote the Apple Tv doesn't respond ( doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • Connecting the time capsule to a wireless network (university)

    I just purchased my first mac computer, and the time capsule. I am a university student, and my housing has wireless network, so i would need to configure it to that network (which requires registration). When I first opened everything up, I could see the time capsule in the airport utility, but now I cannot. I dont really know where to go from here, because all of the manuals go from being able to detect the time capsule. On top of that how do I connect the wireless to the registration required network? Any help is much appreciated.

    how can I use the time capsule as a "wifi acceptor" to connect with my wireless network, and then boardcasting wifi signal to my devices?
    Unfortunately, this is not possible.
    In order to broadcast a wireless network with Internet access, the Time Capsule must be provided with a wired Ethernet connection at its WAN "O" port.
    Check wtih your Internet Service Provider to see if they have an adapter or other device that will provide a wired Ethernet connection to the Time Capsule.

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • What's the best way to use Time Capsule through Extended Wireless Network?

    I am operating four computers, three Apples and a PC.  All the Apples use Snow Leopard.  I have a large house where the cable company's modem and internet access is located downstairs at the far back of the house.  That is where I have a 2Tb 802.11n Time Capsule (TC) connected to the modem by ethernet cable.  My iMac is there, connected to the TC by ethernet cable.  In the middle of the house, also downstairs, I have an Airport Extreme (802.11n) operating as a wireless bridge.  Upstairs in the front of the house (very far from the TC and closer but not very close to the AE) I have a home office.  That is where my other two Apples--a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air--are usually located.  The PC is located in a bedroom directly above the TC and wirelessly connects to it.  At all locations, I get four radio signal strength bars.  However, I am not sure that the AE is doing anything, because I get four bars regardless of whether the AE is plugged in, or not.  When it is turned on, Airport Utility on all computers shows both the TC and the AE, but I have not been able to find which Airport ID I am actually connected to. 
    From my home office I do temporarily lose my internet connection from time to time each day, but the connection recovers usually within seconds.  I assume this reflects occasional interference or other loss of wireless signal in the distant home office, although I do not see the radio bars diminish to less than the four bars.
    All three Apples are set up to use the same TC for backup into Time Machine.  However, I have been getting errors on the laptops operating in the home office (a long way from the TC and perhaps connecting directly over wireless or perhaps wirelessly through the AE bridge.  Some messages are to the effect of being unable to backup, and others more recently report errors.  I think that either due to connection interruptions or merely by suspending or turning off the computer while in the middle of backing up, errors in the Time Machine files were created.  I have been unable to delete more than a few of the 8Mb sparsebundle bands so that I can completely get rid of one of the sparsebundles for the MacBook Pro.  I was able to get rid of the other sparsebundle for that computer and also the sparsebundle for the MacBook Air.  I am reluctant to erase the entire TC, because it has been working for the directly connected (by ethernet cable) iMac sitting right next to the TC.
    So, I am wondering what is the experience of others who are trying to use TC successfully from computers located a long distance from the TC with either a direct wireless connection or a bridged wireless connection through an AE or other bridge.
    And does anyone have good ideas about how to delete the sparsebundles effectively?  I read the various questions and answers in the support community, but so far nothing that I have tried based on those messages seems to work.  It seems that when all the Time Machines are set to "Off" and the sparsebundles are expanded to show the individual bands, we ought to be able to delete them fairly expeditiously.  Sometimes, I can delete one band fairly quickly, but then the second band will hang forever.  More often, I can't even delete the first band.

    Thank you, Bob.  I followed the procedure you stated.  My AE is working.  I did register its BSSID when I put my laptop next to it.  This is also the BBSID I am getting when in my home office at the far end of the house from the TC.  This means I am using the extended bridge AE when working and trying to use the automated backup feature in Time Machine.  Do you think I should turn off Time Machine on these laptops when they are in the home office, and bring them into the room with the TC occasionally to have a better connection (wireless to TC or by connecting an ethernet cable) when trying to make Time Machine backups for them?
    Interestingly (in contrast to the exact match of BBSID's for my AE), when I compared the BSSID for my TC in Airport Utility to the BBSID of the TC using the option key and the fan shaped Airport icon, the BBSID's matched except for the last two digits.  In Airport Utility, they are 2F.  In the fan shaped Airport icon they are 30. 
    Also, the AE signal, being centrally located on the first floor of the house, seems to be the one most in use.  When I walked my laptop away from the AE all the way back to the TC, the laptop automatically switched over to the TC only once.  Most of the time, the laptop is still connecting wirelessly with the AE.  To switch back to the TC, I have to turn Airport off, and then turn it back on again.
    I don't know how efficient or inefficient the Time Machine is when connecting to the TC indirectly through an AE bridge.

  • Access connection​s does not see wireless networks but can connect if you know the SSID

    Running a Thinkpad x200 using windows 7 and Access Connections 5.42.
    A few weeks ago i was traveling and was connecting to a hotel wireless network.
    Could receive email but wasn't able to send email due to hotel port restrictions so long-story short version-- IT staff at hotel told me to connect via LAN. Which i did by simply plugging in LAN line to the thinkpad and to the hotel -- port -- no other changes. have done this a million times at home and elsewhere.
    All is well....
    until....
    I get home and i notice that when i use access connections, it doesn't see any wireless connections (no icons in the radar screen). It automatically connects to my home network and i can use the home profile to connect.  Same for any connection that i know the SSID for -- i can't see it but i can connect to it.
    But it doesn't show any icons during "find" or find again. It only shows the home icon i am connected to. If i disconnect and try to find wireless networks. It doesn't show any.
    So i know
    1) radio is working
    2) can connect via lan
    3) can connect to a known wireless if i know the SSID and either manually configure it or if i have the profile saved
    4) i have run antivirus, malwarebytes - etc -- all clean
    5) have rebooted, turned radio on off
    6) system restore doesn't help
    7)  all wireless networks are now invisible to radar screen. Have tried this at starbucks, around town - etc -- available wireless network icons are invisible
    I'm not sure that hooking up LAN in the hotel did anything but it seems too coincidental. Also seem to recall a thread where this has been known to happen.
    Help!!!

    First off, it sees the networks. That's good. You reset network settings which usually corrects a number of problems. Let's focus on your home network and getting connected to that.
    1. Reboot your router (just power it off for 10 secs). Try to connect. If it works, you are done. If not, step 2
    2. Reset your network settings again. However, this time log onto your network by tapping Settings > WiFi > Other and re-entering your network name, security settings, and password.
    Check your connection by tapping the blue > next to the network name with the checkmark. If your IP starts with 169.x, then you are connected but your router is not issuing you an IP address. This leads to a couple of additional problem areas - WEP encryption and outdated router firmware.
    If you continue to have problems, tell us which router/model, security settings used, etc.

  • Time Capsule as Additional Wireless Network and Backup

    I have just purchased a 500Gb Time Capsule and I am seeking some assistance in setting it up. All this would not be a problem is Apple had just included a modem in their base stations like most other ADSL wireless routers, but hey ho! So my setup then:
    I currently have a Belkin N1 Wireless Modem Router connecting me to the internet through my phone socket and also creating a Wireless Network called Apollo. Connecting to Apollo are my MacBook Pro, Vista Laptop, iPod Touch and a HP wireless Printer.
    I really rather that the new Time Capsule (TC) act as my wireless router and that my exisiting Belkin just act as 'providing the internet to the TC', however I have several devices plugged into the belkin through ethernet and therefore cannot remove it completely.
    So how do I set up the Time Capsule to route the internet to the house as well as acting as a backup for my MacBook through Time Machine?
    Thanks

    Apple has never made modems for users to connect with broadband internet services. All you have to do is plug the RJ45 cable into the Time Capsule, run through the setup and it will then broadcast a wireless signal for your devices to connect to. You can also plug your other devices into the TC via the RJ45 connector.

  • I just bought the new iPhone, but it does not sync to my Macbook iTunes because it says I need at least a 10.6.8 software update. My computer is stuck on 10.5.8, however, and my laptop does not say that there are any software updates available.

    I tried researching it online, and I think that my computer might be too old to get new software updated on it - I bought it either in 2007 or 2008. I just think that it seems unfair that I have to buy a whole new computer just to put my music and other things on my new iPhone. What should I do? I can't even buy the software update for Mountain Lion because it requires you to already have a 10.6 and I only have a 10.5.8. This is the most frustrating thing ever!
