After receiving "identical" Time Capsule 3rd gen replacement, my iMac no longer sees my HP LaserJet2420 that my previous Time Capsule enabled seeing

I no longer remember how my USB-connected HP laser printer was seen with my iMac connected through Time Capsule. Oddly enough, my iMac also no longer sees the printer when connected directly to iMac. What the heck happened? They used to work fine together!

A printer that is directly connected has to be recognised to be installed..
I guess the first thing to do is open system profiler and check that the USB is recognising the printer.. If so then the issue is purely drivers.. if not it is bad usb cable.. bad usb port.. bad printer. Plug it into the computer via a powered usb hub.
If the USB does see the printer but the drivers don't work.. I stand by the comment.. delete all printers and start again.. multiple printers can mess things up equally as well as old drivers.. especially if you did an upgrade install.
What a shame you didn't buy the network version.. in the future.. never buy usb.. always buy network printers. Any printer called a workgroup printer without network is a contradiction in terms.
Once you get it working on the computer then you need to start all over again to get it running on the TC again.. man ethernet or wireless printer looks better and better all the time. usb .. shudder.

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Need to backup Time Capsule, (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 used as wireless router and network drive

I use Time Capsule, 802.11n (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 (1Tb) as a wireless router and a network drive. I do not use Time Machine at all. How do I create a backup of the files housed on the Time Capsule to an external drive?
Also, why does the use of Time Capsule as a network drive seem to be such an usual configuration? The configuration makes sense to me, aside from the inability to automatically back up the Time Capsule itself to a cloud or other drive, which, to me, is what really makes no sense at all. Is there something else I should be using? I'm not too familiar with the wisest way to set up a home network. I just know I like to wirelessly have access to my files from multiple computers within my household as opposed to saving files on any one computer locally.
Thanks for your assistance and advise!

You could connect a USB hard-drive to the USB port on the TimeCapsule and Enable Disk Sharing on both the TC's Built in Drive as well as the USB connected one.
Then these drives can be mounted using finder and files copied between them as needed.
The main advantage of time-machine is - automation(like you mentioned) + to be able to go back in time - i.e. ability to restore files from a certain date/time. Multiple versions are available for restore.
Also in Mountain Lion - You can restore your mac from a time machine backup very easily - it is one of the options when you boot to the Recovery Partition (ditto when you boot ML from DVD/USB)
Hope this helps.

Extended Start-up Time in 3rd Gen iPod

20GB 3rd Gen iPod, purchased pre-5/31/04. Besides legal battery failure (should I make a claim?), the Apple logo stays up for a much longer period than usual when I turn it on. Any ideas on how to fix it? Or is it just getting old?

Macs can read Windows formatting so you just need to connect your iPod to start using the iTunes library. However if your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your new computer and a different iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
To keep your iPod Windows formatted you'll have to carry out any software updates or restores from the PC. Updating or restoring on the Mac will change the formatting.

Invalid IP address on time capsule 3rd gen

I can connect to the internet via the modem but when I try to connect via the time capsule (both wired and wireless) AirPort Utility tells me 1) I have an internet connection problem: invalid IP address adn 2) I don't have DNS server address
Anyway to fix short of restoring the from original settings?
thanks

It sounds like you are using Lion with v6 utility.. and that is at least partly the cause of the trouble.
Download and install 5.6 if you use Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Now you need to decide which device will be the main router.. as there should be only one router in the network.. either the modem has a router.. most do now.. or the TC will be the router.. don't use two. Something has to be bridged.
So if you have cable modem.. pure modem that is excellent. TC will be the router.
If you have adsl it is generally also a router.. that can either be bridged or you can run the TC as pppoe client.
Tell me exactly what you have for broadband.. and if it is working as router or not.
Assuming it is working as router.. you need to bridge the TC.
Reset the TC to start.. we want to get a fresh go at this.
As stated.. in the 5.6 utility.. go to manual setup.. select the internet tab.
On the bottom of the page select connection sharing.
Select option.. off, bridge mode.
Update the TC.
It is best to do this with ethernet.. direct to the TC.. you don't need any other connections to set it up.
But if you normally use wireless then setup wireless as well.. much easier when connected NOT by wireless to setup wireless. Otherwise it is like sawing off the branch you are sitting on.
I recommend wireless name.. short, pure alphanumeric with no spaces.
Separate name for 2.4 and go to the advanced wireless page and give a different name to 5ghz.
Lock channels to 1, 6, or 11 for 2.4 ghz .. 5ghz does not matter so much.
Set wpa2 personal security with passkey.. 8-12 characters pure alphanumeric.. no spaces.
Once selected and updated.. plug the TC into the main modem - router with ethernet.
Connect I guess using wireless from the computer.

So after updating my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3.1 i noticed a lag everytime i turn it back on. it stays on the lock screen for minutes sometimes hours. the screen is usually unresponsive the only things usually changing are the time and battery percentage.

so aafter upsating my touch to 4.3.1 i have noticed everytime i restart the ipod there is a huge lag at the lock screen. the screen only updates itself every three to five minutes only updating the time and battery status. i cannot do anything, usually it will stay like this for minutes sometimes hours. i have tried restoring it and thought updating will fix the problem but it hasn't yet. i currently have ios 4.3.3. recently i had a friend look into the ipod and he told me on a folder called damaged files he found this, 37c3ad com.apple.autowake.plist. how can i fix this?

Time Capsule 3rd Gen no longer sees External USB drive

Airport Utility 7.6.4 installed and no other updates are specified as avaiable.
For a while the external drive with two 1T Mac formatted partitions cannot be seen by network nor appears in Disk section of Airport Utility.
Mavericks used and all fully up to date.
Connecting drive to iMac and MBP directly allows use of the drive fine.
I think the firmware has stopped the external drive from being recognised. Did have the "USB Power" amber light occur some time ago but selected to ignore. External drive is powered of course.
Any ideas?

A Gen3 TC the USB port is seriously underpowered.
A powered hub is the first essential item to get this working. The fact that your disk is powered is insufficient.. I think also because of the limited number of USB devices the airport utility can work with.. even some powered hubs are simply not recognised.
For a while the external drive with two 1T Mac formatted partitions cannot be seen by network nor appears in Disk section of Airport Utility.
Mavericks used and all fully up to date.
The disk must appear in airport utility.
From there getting disks mounted in Mavericks can add another level of pain.. but recognition comes first.
The latest firmware is more likely a step backwards than anything.. I would downgrade the firmware to 7.6.1. Factory reset. Use all SMB naming, ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.

I recently had hard drive replaced on iMac. I restored the wrong back up from my time capsule. Trying to figure out how to undo

My hard drive recently crashed and was replaced. I attempted to restore from time capsule but selected the wrong back up. I have multiple machines backing up to the time capsule. How can in do the back up so I can restore the correct backup.

Can't you just select the correct backup now in TM?

After upgrading my iPod Touch (3rd Gen) to iOS 5 it restarts itself.

I've contacted Apple and they said me it's a hardware problem, but it just happened exactly after I've upgraded to iOS5. I've already tried to restore in many ways and it didnt't work. Any other idea?

Middle button scrolling stopped working after Synaptics driver updates. (3rd gen, Windows 10)

It seems that the new driver released in 3/17/2015 by Synaptics has issues with middle button.
And it doesn't even list middle button in its panel. I can't find a proper feedback entrance on Synaptics' sites so I hope posting here would help. (Though considering a driver issue with Compact Bluetooth Keyboard doesn't get fixed in years, I don't think they would give a **bleep**. Oh why I am buying ThinkPad again!)

Same thing happened to me, but with an HP laptop. It seems that Windows 10 (at least, while in preview) does not allow you to disable automatic updates, and rolling back the driver (which solves the problem) won't help much - it will be installed again...
The only way I found how to prevent this particular update from installing is a set of PowerShell tools to control Windows Updates. I wrote about how to do it here: http://superuser.com/questions/901803/prevent-windows-10-from-installing-updating-a-specific-driver/...
Hope this helps!

Try place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
If not successful, try DFU mode.

When I sync my 3rd gen nano, there is no longer a games option tab. What happened?

Every time I sync it, there's no longer any games option, and I can't figure out what happened. Anyone know how I can fix it? Should I just try to restore it?

It seems as though since Apple removed clickwheel games from the iTunes Store, they have also removed the ability to resync games you had already downloaded previously over to your device.

After 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 upgrade, iTunes no longer sees my iPhone..

I'm at a loss. I've done everything listed on the generic help page...
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
...and I still can't get iTunes to see my iPhone. It worked fine yesterday, but after the iTunes update, I doesn't show up at all. I can see the "Apple iPhone" under cameras in My Computer so I know it's making a connection. I've repaired iTunes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I started and stopped the services. I've restarted my computer, my iPhone. I've tried different USB ports. I've run CCleaner to delete any and all temp crap left behind by anything.
And still nothing works. I'm at a loss, any more suggestions? =(

Me too, the headache started yesterday for me. i had to switch everything to an older laptop, its slow but will work for now. It's a real headache cause i have xp pro x64(which there is no itunes support!!!) so to get itunes to work on that required google searching to see how to hack/extract x64 installer from itunes and add individual parts seperately from regular itunes 8.0.1 for xp pro 32bit. so it wasnt like i could just update to 8.0.2
Anyhow after much searching and failed attempts i had to start anew on a laptop w/just xp pro had to install office (have to set up calendar, import contacts/erase music to sync on that computer now/calendars/move external music drive to laptop...etc...blah blah blah). inconvenient! all within the last 24 hrs.

I am looking for a timer that shows elapsed time since a particular date and time. Showing days, hours, minutes etc.

I would like to download an application for my desktop and maybe even my iphone that will tell me how many days, hours, minutes, etc have elapsed since a particular date.
For example, my brother just had a baby and I want to put that date and time into the app and then determine how long it has been since that date and time.
Hopefully this makes sense, because I have not been able to locate anything.
Thanks in advance,

This is fantastic. Thank you.
Is there any way to have something like this displayed on my desktop showing the time as it ticks away?
