Airport Utility 6.3.4 unable to find Time Capsule (4th edition)

Was having problems with mobile phones staying on Wi-Fi network (iphone 5s), so I checked IP address.  it was assigning 169.254 address which won't work on network.  So I manually assigned a 10.0.0.## ip address and all is well now. But of course that was done statically.
When to check what is going on with my Time Capsule and Airport won't find it.  The network works, it still gives data to ipads, and my imacs.  I have attempted to wipe password and restart the Base Station, that did not work.  Running Yosemite if that matters on my desktop.
What can I do to make the Base Station see the Airport Utility?

See pages 28 and 29. Using Airport Utility (page 29), I don’t see the options the manual says are there. I have done a reset and a full reset (page 28) many times and it has always straightened out the Time Capsule.

  • Unable to find Time Capsule in Airport Utility after several rescans

    Hi all,
    I just bought the latest 2GB Time Capsule last year and initially was able to connect it as a external hard drive to my wifi router.
    However, I moved address this month and changed the name of my wifi. Probably the IP addresses were also changed.
    I am trying to connect it to my wifi via Airport Utility however, even after several clicks on "Rescan", I am unable to detect the Time Capsule.
    The manual setup and Update buttons are also disabled in the Airport Utility.
    I tried to connect my Time Capsule to my Macbook via Ethernet but still the "TC drive" does not appear.
    How can I change the wifi settings in my TC if I can't even detect it?
    Please take note that I am not using my Time Capsule as a router but as a hard drive connecting to my dlink router.
    Cheers!

    You will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule to get it back to original settings so that you can reconfigure to work with the D-Link router. The reset will not affect your backups.
    This Apple Support document will provide the details on how to do this:
    Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ

  • I have had a time capsule for years and it worked well.  Now my airport utility states it is unable to find any airport wireless devices.  When I rescan, I get the same response.  I access the internet wirelessly through my Time Capsule - that part works.

    My time capsule is currently not backing up my MAC.  My airport utility states it can't find any airport wireless devices.  But I can access the internet via my time capsule.  I was trying to reset my time capsule but it won't let me since the airport utiity states it can't find any airport wireless devices.

    i was having the same problem. i held the reset button on my airport express for ten seconds, waited for it to restart and than unplugged my internet modem for 15 seconds and waited for it to restart and my wireless worked. but when i go to setup everything through the airport utility everything goes to crap and i have to start over again. i don't get it.

  • How can I reconfigure an Airport Timecapsule and Airport Extreme Base Station to extend a new Time Capsule 3TB network.

    Previously they were configured to be part of a network attached to a cable modem.  Now I have a DSL modem.  I can get the 3TB Time Capsule tower to be recognized by my AirPort Utility but cannot get the older 2TB Time Capsule and Extreme Base Station to be recognised as wifi extensions of the 3TB Wi-Fi Base Station.     This latter base station is set up in Bridge mode and the wifi is switched off on the DSL Modem.     I am trying to recreate a home network (I have created a newly named one) and use the Apple products as the wifi routers, leaving the fibre optic-supplied DSL modem to interface with the internet.
    I would have thought that I should set-up the 3TB Time Capsule Base Station in DHCP network mode, but trying to do so gives me error messages and renders the network inoperative.   Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the AirPort utility to recognise the two other devices (Base Stations) as extensions of the main one?    I have tried with RJ45 cabel connections to no avail.

    First, it would be wise to update your computer to OS X Mavericks. It's just a free update, but it really helps your computer.
    Once you've done that, on to the fix.
    In Airport Utility, select the old router and click "edit". Click the Wireless tab. Select Off. Click Update, and wait. During the update, you should use your phone to read this, as you may have no wireless for a time.
    Once the update is done, click the new Time Capsule and click "edit". Select the wireless tab, and change the Network Mode to "Create a Wireless Network". Choose your name, security and password. Click Update. Once the new Time Capsule is plugged in and wired, you should be able to connect to your network from your laptop.
    Back on the old Time Capsule, go to the Wireless Tab and select, "Extend a Wireless Network". Select your network, and click update.
    On the Airport Extreme, do the same as the old Time Capsule.
    You should be done! Now, you can move your old Time Capsule somewhere else as use it as an extention of your network. And the same with the Airport Extreme. Enjoy your 5TB of network storage!

  • Airport Express 1st Gen dropping Time Capsule 4th Gen when being used to extend signal

    I have an older Airport Express 1st Gen and recently purchased a Time Capsule 4th Gen.  The firmware for both products is updated to the latest version.  When I set up the Airport Express to extend the signal for the Time Capsule, it works great at first, connects and the status light turns green. But after a while, the AE drops the "extension" and the light goes amber.  I have also heard this is a problem from a Macintosh expert at the Genius Bar.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    Try using a wireless name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric on the TC.. I would even set different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
    So for example.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz meet our requirement.
    Use WPA2 Personal security not wpa-wpa2 as that leads to issues.
    Use password that is 10-20 characters pure alphanumeric.. can be mixed upper and lower case plus numerials.
    Fix the wireless channel of the TC..
    Now see if it makes a stable extend..
    Always remember the Express must not be so far away the signal is poor.. it should get good signal itself so it can repeat to the other clients.

  • Airport Utility can't find Time Capsule but wireless is fine

    Hi
    I have my Time Capsule connected via cable to my NetGear Modem/Router and have wireless enabled on the Time Capsule.
    I never have any problems with the actual wireless connections to the internet via any of our Macs or PCs in the house, but on a fairly regular basis, the AirPort Utility comes up and tells me 'AirPort Utility was unable to find any apple wireless devices. Please make sure the Apple wireless device you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again.'
    Wireless access continues to work just fine when this happens, but I just can't get to the Time Capsule with the Airport Utility. Un-plugging and re-plugging the Time Capsule makes it appear in the Airport Utility again, and it's fine usually for a few hours or most of the day, but then quite often I will open Airport Utility again later in the day and it again will not be able to find the Time Capsule again.
    I have tried firmware 7.3.1 and 7.3 but it didn't make any difference.
    So I wonder if anyone might have any suggestions as to why Airport Utility would not be able to find the Time Capsule yet the same Mac from which I am trying is quite happily connected wirelessly and surfing the web.
    Thanks in anticipation!
    Ken

    Wow it took me awhile to find this thread.
    1047 views. I guess I'm not alone.
    Every few days my macbook pro quits recognizing the Time Capsule even
    though it works fine for wireless internet.
    Airport Utility doesn't see it either. Shared disk access, gone.
    I found I can get things working again over wireless if I plug the computer
    into the time capsule with a cable. When I plug it in the time capsule instantly
    appears on the list of available backup devices in time machine settings.
    If I do a backup and then disconnect the cable backup continues to work for
    awhile. Then I need to connect again.
    Pretty silly bug.
    When it works time machine and time capsule are great. We've used it to
    recover data very easily.
    Wish the connection wasn't so flakey though.

  • Airport utility 6.3.4 can not find my airport extreme 802.11ac

    Sometimes the program loses contact with Airport Extreme 802.11ac with firmware 7.7.3 The internet is OK and the internettlight is green but the software seems not to find my Airport Extreme 802.11ac. The curios thing is that the airport utility app on my Iphone will find the Airport Extreme and from here I can restart it - which (obvious) solves the problem - for some time
    Probably a known problem!

    The problem is with Yosemite. We have seen many posts from users with "disappearing" AirPorts, but unfortunately there does not appear to be a reliable solution at this time.
    Some users have reported that turning off the Firewall on their Macs has helped with this issue. Not sure if you want to try this, and we are not really recommending that you do this, but it might be worth a try if it is important for you to be able to "see" the AirPort Extreme in AirPort Utility from your Mac.
    Another check that you can perform that might help is to see if your Mac has been bitten by the Yosemite "naming" bug. To do this, open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Sharing.  Check to make sure that the name of your Mac is displayed correctly.  If you see a (2), (3), (4) etc added to the name of the Mac, edit the name to correct it and restart your Mac.
    You may need to check this daily as when you have the bug, the "naming" will likely continue until we get a fix.

  • I have an airport extreme 2013.  Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices?  I want it to always display the device names.

    The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.

    Sometimes beating yourself up to make apple routers do what you want is easier solved with lateral thinking.

  • I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help

    I have an Airport Extreme as my router and am using time capsule to extend the network in my new house. My ISP is only providing me 4-5 ip addresses and wants me to set up my router to issue out new ip addresses for all my devices.How do I fix this?Help.
    They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
    Thanks!

    It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

  • Can use time capsule wifi but can't find time capsule in finder.

    I have a 3TB time capsule that I bought about a month ago. I can use the WIFI but all of a sudden I can't find time capsule in finder. How do I locate it?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    It is the Mavericks OS usually.
    Try a simple reboot of the TC.. that is often enough. No luck..
    Try a full network restart in correct order.. ie modem.. wait 2min.. TC .. wait 2min.. clients.
    No luck..
    Manually mount the TC using Go, Connect to Server in Finder.
    Type in AFP://TCname.local or AFP://TCIPaddress
    where you use the actual network name in place of the TCname.. ie not the name on the TC.. unless it is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. which I do strongly advise. But its network name which is without spaces and no illegal characters which apple recommends you use.. eg apostrophe.
    So Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is not the real network name.
    It will become fred_blogs_airport_time_capsule which is a bad name still.
    Easier use the IP, eg 10.0.1.1 for TCIPaddress.
