Time Machine can not connect to Time Capsule

The problem is Time Machine sees the time capsule, then when I put my password in, nothing. This is driving me nuts...

Help! I have the same issue, and renaming the disk is not helping. I renamed it to "TCDisk" (without the quotes of course) and it still does not work. Same problem occurs. The disk is renamed in Time Machine Preferences, but I still cannot select it. I enter my password once, and it turns TM off, and I enter it again and the slider stays "on" but the disk is not selected, and the "choose disk" option is still available. Also, the other computers on my network can select the drive as their Time Machine backup location. Only mine is not able to. I configured the TC through my machine, if that makes a difference. Do I need to change some other settings or what? Please help me out. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Some NAS devices are compatible with Time Machine, some aren't.  Even with the ones that are compatible now, there are some downsides to the combination.

  • Time machine can not access time capsule after upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion

    Two days ago I upgraded my 2009 17" MBP from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. That evening my time capsule/time machine combination worked fine and did an incremental backup of about 12 gigabyte. Yesterday - only one day later - the time machine backup did not work anymore.
    It appears that the system can not find the time capsule - even though it shows the remaining free space on the time capsule (so it did find it after all).
    The message is always the same:
    Time Machine can not complete the backup "Time Capsule"
    The image of the backup volume "/Volumes/Data/Pauls MacBookPro.sparsebundle" is not accessable (Error -1).
    I also can not delete the backup image on the time capsule since it is read-only. And I do not want to format the time caspsule yet since my wife's MBAir is also using the same time casule.
    I tried out all kinds of suggestions (hard and soft resetting both the MBP and the TC, entering the password again, setting the TC up again) all to no avail. No backup is possible anymore.

    Sounds like you got this message earlier:
    If so, see #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    Offhand, I don't recall anyone not being able to delete one via the Finder (but most were only backing-up one Mac, so just erased the disk).
    You may have to wait for that message to appear again (24 hours later), or you might try holding Alt/Option with the TM icon in the menubar, and select Verify Backups if it will let you.

  • When I set up a guest network on my time capsule nothing can not connect to this network

    I have an airport time capsule and I set up a guest network on it. This network is visible, but I can not connect to this using my mac, windows lap tops iPhone and samsung galaxy note 4.

    Actually the TC is the main router, but the problem is when I put this on NAT DHCP mode
    The device that you call your "modem" is very likely a modem/router or gateway type of device that combines both the functions of a modem and router in one package.
    The Guest Network feature will only work correctly when the TC connects to a pure modem.....not a modem/router or gateway.
    To see if this is really your problem, please post back with the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem" so we can see exactly what you have.

  • Airport Utility can not connect to Time Casule in Yosemite

    HELLO EVERYONE! I have a Macbook Pro 17 mid 2009 and recently i have it upgraded to Yosemite.Airport Utility doesn't detect the TIME CAPSULE despite the computer is connected to the network through Wi-Fi.Time Machine can not detect the back up disk as well . Please any sugestions,than you.

    Did you perform the complete power cycle that I suggested?  That will often help with issues like this.
    If you did and it did not help....then the next step may or may not help....or may make matters worse.....so you might want to wait for the next Yosemite update to see there is a "fix" for the common issue that you are reporting.
    In my case, the issue was resolved by resetting the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then setting it up again....using a simple device name for the Time Capsule and a simple wireless network name for the network.
    The names are short....no more than 12 characters,  use only letters and numbers and contain no blank spaces or special characters in the name.
    Once the network was back up and running, I had to reset Time Machine to get backups going again to the "new" Time Capsule.

  • I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

  • Time machine can not select my internal hard drive any more.

    Hi all
    Time machine can not select my internal hard drive any more. I only can back up external disks. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    All answers are much appreciated

    I don't know the answer but I have the same thing happen. I have two external drives I use for backup. Sometimes it can see one and sometimes another. Then sometimes it can't see either one.  I will take one out for a while then plug it back in and then it may see it.  Maybe it's a cable issue or something but I will be curious to hear what someone more knowledgeable says.

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
    If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • HT4628 some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?

    some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?

    Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
    I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
    As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
    Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.
