Time Capsule blinks yellow,when I go to airport utility to set up, it Says This apple wi-fi bse station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to internet. My internet works, but I can't back up anything. What do I do??
Worked fine for about a couple of weeks after my son -law installed the time capsule. I can access the Internet both from my wife's I phone and from my desktop. I think that I need to get the DNS server numbers and put them in the two blanks; but where do I get them? Thanks, Jim
If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

My internet is still working, but it's very intermittent. This happened after I updated the firmware a few days ago.
Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network -

I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..
Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
(If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..

Hi, i am trying to setup back to my mac at home but I get the error "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because your DNS server isn't responding. Contact your ISP for an alternate DNS server address, and enter it in Network Preferences".
There is no documentation on how to solve this anywhere.
I have an Arris router set to bridged mode which is connected to a 5th generation airport extreme. I have tried using the google dns servers instead of the one assigned by the cable company in the AE but I still get the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated
KennethNew to BTMM, I got stung today with the silly DNS problem message. Solution:
1) Flush DNS cache with:
dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
2)System preferences > iCloud > untick BTMM then tick it again. The warning should have disappeared.
Edit #1
Apologies for the noise. The warning has come back
Edit #2
Just found out that BTMM is not compatible with double NAT. That's not helpful.

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!
If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

My time capsule will not stop blinking yellow
It can mean anything.. you need to look at your airport utility and find what the list of items is under the yellow dot.. or in 5.6 utility under status.

Time Capsule Blinking Orange when iMac off
I have my time capsule plugged in via USB and the wireless mode off - its just used for videos which is fine until I turn my iMac off and then it blinks its light orange to mean theres a problem....
Anyone any idea why and how to make it stop? When its switched on the light is greenWhen the TC is in a flashing amber condition, open AirPort Utility and click the TC to select it on the left and then click Manual Setup.
On the summary page of settings, click on the word "Status" and a message will appear to offer information about the "error".
It may be a notice that the TC does not have an internet connection. If you don't use it to connect to the internet, you can click "ignore" and the light should stay green at all times.
I'm not that familiar with iTunes, so you may want to start a new thread for that issue if you don't see responses on this thread. -
Time Capsule running 7.4.2...AirPort Utility says up-to-date
I upgraded to AirPort Utility 5.5.1. When I check for updates it says I'm up-to-date, but the TC firmware is 7.4.2.
I have a refurbished 1TB dual-band purchased about 9 months ago. Is this firmware update not applicable to my device?
Thanks for your help!The firmware update states it is for Late 2009 models.

I have a 2008 IPod , Just bought a new IMAC. My iphone and ipad are registered but I can't figure out how to add the old ipod.

I am having issues sending pictures via iMessage to only one of my contacts. They can send me pictures through iMessage so why are mine coming back undelivered?
Have managed to get it working.
It might be as simple as switching the other phone completely off, and resetting it...
I say this because I have no idea how I finally managed to get it working again. I tried so many things. Removing all the iMessage addresses. Sending messages from the computer, iPad...etc and found that the weakest link was my wife's phone. It wasn't receiving iMessage pictures from ANYONE (not just me). That allowed me to narrow down the possibilities somewhat.
Let me know if simply resetting the other person's phone fixes the problem.
