Apple tv & time capsule problem with ethernet

hi there. my apple tv and time capsule are working just fine on wifi. i want to stream movies stored on the TC faster via ethernet. i plug in the ethernet cable which works fine on other hardware and i cant access the movies. connected via DHCP and also tried a manual IP - still no joy.
HELP.....

I'm not exactly sure what an orange live box is, assume it's a router, is this the router that you mention or another box. What is apparent is that you have at least 2 routers and maybe three (no big issue - I have 6), what is important is that only one of them is issuing IP's.
You can do this either by DHCP or manually (I choose DHCP) from the first device in the chain, ie the one that your telephone cable plugs into, all other routers should be set up in bridging mode (or maybe WDS, but I doubt it from what you have told me)
Can you confirm this is your set up.

HT4259 Direct Connect Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

I have TWO Time Capsules ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 ) and (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)
I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired). This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.
Any reasons to NOT do this?
Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.
Thanks

Hello!
I have the same problem, i am trying to do this
Timecapsule nr 1, ISP uplink to WAN.
from this one i have LAN to the other timecapsule to WAN.
On the first timecapsule i have DHCP/NAT enable.
On the second i have, Bridge mode.
But when i am connected with eth to the second one i wont recive dhcp addresses or anything... like it wont passtrough.
Any ideas?

Time out of Time Capsule - even with Ethernet

My 500G Time Capsule since yesterday evening refuses to work for longer than a few minutes, which is far too little for any backup.
The problem first was seen when I used it with WiFi. I then connected the TC directly with ethernet to my MacBook. Initiated a backup. After some time, it refuses to respond any more.
Click on the TC icon in the Finder column view, and nothing comes up.
Try cd /Volumes/tcapsule in the Terminal, and the terminal window freezes.
Open the TC preferences and System Preferences freeze.
I tried resetting the TC with a paper clip.
I tried restarting the TC. After that, it works for a few more minutes, before it freezes again.
I tried removing the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist.
I tried restarting the Mac umpteen times. It usually freezes as well when the TC is frozen.
I used Disk Utility to repair the Mac's harddisk.
I used Disk Utility to try to repair the image on the TC, dragging its icon to Disk Utility. However, it gives up - probably when the TC times out.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do in addition to those things, while keeping the old backups on the TC? I would prefer not to reformat the TC.
A new backup to third party Lacie HD worked fine, so I guess the Mac is ok, and the problem really is with the TC.

go system preferences > time machine and turn TM off. click on +change disk+ and select none.
next, delete this file HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist.
restart your machine, go system preferences > time machine and turn TM back on. click on +change disk+, re-select your backup volume und click +use for backups+.
Yep, that's pretty much what I did, as described in my initial post. I actually followed your exact steps again, but not luck.
download and install Time Machine Buddy if you don't have it already. start a backup and see what TM buddy reports.
Done that too, but the errors do not help me very much. A typical session may look like this:
Starting standard backup
Network destination already mounted at: /Volumes/tcapsule
Disk image /Volumes/tcapsule/Magnus Lewan’s MacBook_002332b4fbc4.sparsebundle mounted at: /Volumes/Backup of Magnus Lewan’s MacBook

Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
No pre-backup thinning needed: 23.55 GB requested (including padding), 24.83 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (100)
And then nothing more.
The last one was somewhat more descriptive, but still no reason why things fail, and of course no suggested remedy:
Starting standard backup
Network destination already mounted at: /Volumes/tcapsule
Error while checking destination cookies: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 UserInfo=0x100120690 "The file “.002332b4fbc4” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file."

Creating disk image /Volumes/tcapsule/blanko.sparsebundle

It seems to first fail to read the previous sparsebundle and then it tries to create a new one. This may fail because the disk is full, but it should be able to open the previous one.

How can I backup my mac on a Time Capsule (connected with ethernet), without any user logged on the mac?

Time Machine by default does not run when no user is logged in, there's some way to let backups run without any user logged on the mac?
I need to backup 3 iMac connected through ethernet network to a Time Capsule.
Some hint?

If you use eithernet for your main connection then just plug the TC bridged into the network.
If you use wireless for your internet connection then you can use the TC isolated from the network by ethernet.. but this is really only convenient on a desktop Mac.
The instructions I put in this thread with screenshots.. see near the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
It is a bit tricky so if you have questions ask back here.
Just to say a USB for firewire external drive is faster and more reliable than a TC.. cheaper to buy as well.. although since you already have the TC that is not a concern.. but you can ebay the TC and buy a bigger and better external drive with the proceeds.

Time Capsule - problems with file sharing

Time Capsule is working great with Time Machine, but I can't copy files to it even after enabling file sharing in AirPort Utility. I'd really like to move my iTunes library to it since the external drive it currently lives on is full and the TC has about 1.96TB still free. Any thoughts on what the problem is? I see it under "shared" in Finder, but all I can see is the "data" folder and I get warnings that the drive is read only. Thanks for any help you all might be able to provide!

Not Bob .. but it is fairly simple.
When we say external drive we mean a drive plugged physically directly into the Mac.
It can then be backed up by TM.
Just open the TM preference and click on the options.. it should automagically include all disks connected to local machine. You can exclude a drive though. Make sure nothing is excluded .. if it is uncheck it.
TM cannot backup a Network drive but can use a drive as long as it is correctly formatted and accessible to Mac OS as a target for the backup.
I would also recommend you do a straight backup of your disk. 500GB drive is cheap. Get a USB holder and do that direct file copy or use a software like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. The later can make a direct copy of the disk in the freeware version. IMHO it is a lot easier to recover.. the increments if you already have the bulk.

Time capsule - problems with directory

I have got time capsule running about two weeks ago and everything worked well Tuesday evening it came up with a message saying it could not access the directory on my Macbook pro - still doing it so switched it off - any suggestions?

Here's something weird. Another annoying issue I've had with TC is that it slows down the network over time. I'm on Uverse at 10/1.5 and after a week or so it's down to about 2.5 to 3 down. A reboot of my Mac and TC and the problem goes away. So while I'm musing about the problem with the directory, I notice I'm starting to slow again. I reboot, and guess what? My directory is back all the way to April when I set it up.
I'm beginning to suspect that TC/TM doesn't play well with a couple of other applications. One of the companies I'm working with uses a P2P system to send around some monster video files and I'm using something called Azureus (which is also hook up with an application called Vuez that seems to be a YouTube sort of thing). I run Azureus overnight as do most of the development guys I'm working with so we can send around some big video files and have them ready for review and discussion in the morning. I didn't have anything coming in or going out last night and didn't launch the program after the reboot and everyhing is fine so far. It's my first suspect. If not that, then something else maybe is fighting TM for resources? Anyway, I'll keep an eye on this and post if something becomes obvious.

Time Capsule problems with the xbox 360

Im not going to type this all out again so i'll give you guys the link to my unanswered post on mac rumors.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=448296
Can anyone help?

Excellent. I did contact my ISP and cross-referenced their list with the bestselling cable modems on Amazon.com. Looks like the Motorola SB5120 Surfboard modem works great. It also has an ethernet port and cable so I guess that'll connect easily to Time Capsule since you said I only need an ethernet cable.
I guess I might have to make sure the initial setup goes good, in which case I might be back here to make sure I did that right.
Thanks for the help though. At least I'll know that I'll have the right hardware that works with everything I have.

HT201250 time capsule problem with comcast

I have tried to Power down and back my Comcast cable modem and my Time Capsule and still can't connect to my T.C. wirelessly anymore.
I swiched from AT&T 2wire -----> Time Capsule
To: Comcast's SB6141 -----> Time Capsule
Thanks

Here is the power sequence for cable modems and routers.
Router - Time CapsulePower off.
SB6141 - Cable modem
Power off.
Wait 30 seconds
Power on and wait for all lights except the bottom one which would be your T.C.
Router - Time CapsulePower on
There is nothing to configure on your SB6141 cable modem. You might try a different Ethernet port in the rare possibility that the current port has gone bad. These are rock solid cable modems. Have the single-port SB6121.
You will need to run Air Port Utility. My Internet connection screen is set to Share a public IP address. And on the Internet tab, Configure IPv4 Using DHCP. Let the cable modem populate all the addresses on this screen and the DNS servers. Set up your LAN within the DHCP tab. I used 1 day for the lease. In Advanced -> IPv6, it is set to Link-Local only.
I gave my Airport Extreme a Name and intense password. Setting time automatically. Did not allow setup over WAN. Wireless Mode is Create a wireless network. Radio channel selection is automatic, and WPA2 security is up. I am running two wireless networks: 2.4Ghz 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n, and a 5Ghz with wide channels.
Don't forget to update the Time Capsule.
In System Preferences >Network, you may want to remove the wireless service and recreate it. On the Wireless > Advanced Screen, you will want to add the Time Capsule SSID to Preferred Networks, and select Remember networks this computer has joined. Then Apply.
If all of this hasn't helped, ask Comcast to ping your cable modem and see if there are any network issues between you and their head end. Occasionally, Comcast gets DNS amnesia and nothing works until they restore it.
Hope this helps.

I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme. Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
Excellent plan.
Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

I am using SURPLUSMETER I am also using Apple Airport Time Capsule as my Router that is connected to my Satellite dish Internet Modem ... Now on the Surplusmeter I have the option for PPP Modem . Ethernet Port , Airport , Network Card , & Adaptor .
Which one can I use properly to monitor all the wireless Devices in my hous

Actually, none of the options will do what you are looking for it to do. That is because, this application only monitors the traffic from the device it is hosted on. That would also mean that you would have to run a copy on each computer that will access the Internet on your network; note their individual usages, and then, combine them to get an idea of the total usage.
However, if you are only interested in the amount of Wi-Fi traffic that only your computer is seeing, then the "AirPort Network Card" option would be the correct choice.

Time capsule slow with macbook pro

Hello,
I'm using a Time Capsule 2T with a MacBook pro 2.0Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB ram, OSX 10.9.2.
I have a 10mbps internet plan and it works perfectly with my iphone or ipad mini using the wireless signal.
But with my macbook pro, the speed goes down to 1mbps, at maximum...
I've reseted my modem, the Time Capsule, macbook and nothing changed...
Does anyone know what could be happening?? Tks!!!

Have you tested with ethernet? From the specs of your machine it should still have ethernet port.
That is the first test.. with wireless off.. as it helps to establish if the issue is just wireless or is some network problem. If it is still slow post back without doing anything else.
Next test.. copy a file to the TC.. use a big file, a system update or some such.. copy it from the computer to the TC.. and TC to the computer. What speed do you get??
That establishes if the problem is wireless overall or is it wrongly setup somehow.
Test with wireless should be about 3-5M from the TC.. no need to be right next to it.
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in wireless setting on the computer.
Do the wireless diagnostics, which is built into the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5606
Follow all the wifi best practice.
No luck post back your test results.

Time Capsule & Airport with a new modem WiFi

I have a MacBook Pro and a Time Capsule with Airport. I have a new modem from my Comcast Internet provider that has WiFi Built into it. If I use the modem for my WiFi, will my Time Capsule connect with my MacBook through the modem Wifi? And how can I know which Wifi will be the stronger?

Plug the TC into the new modem with a decent length ethernet cord.. a few meters..
Then simply setup roaming network.. so both the TC and the new modem will reinforce each other.. the setup is easy.. Bob at least says it is.. automagically from the new v6 utility.. but it is not hard to do manually either IMHO.
The basic rule is simple.
TC in bridge.
TC creates a wireless network. Same SSID.. ie wireless name Same security .. ie WPA2 AES = WPA2 Personal.. same password.
Voila there it is. although using different channels can be helpful.. if you run into problem.
Now you don't have to worry about which is stronger.. the MB will connect to whichever is stronger.. without human intervention.
Ask Bob to elaborate..
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5146401?tstart=0
BTW the roaming network document is a help.

The fact that you have one apple and one non-apple router here makes no difference except in terminology.

Apple TV & Time Capsule's Hard Drive Used for iTunes Media Only !

I would like to use the Time Capsule Hard Drive just for my iTunes. Not Time Machine. Time Capsule will be my Wireless Base Station (router) as well. But I'm going to plug my Mac Mini into the Time Capsule via Gigabit Ethernet. Will this work & how well (fast) will it stream the media from my iTunes to the Apple TV? I'm not synching any files on the Apple TV's Hard Drive. All Video & Music will be streaming! I know this is not what Time Capsule was intended for, but will it work & again, how well will it stream ? Is there a downside to setting it up this way ? Also, I'm not buying any Movies from the iTunes store. Thanks in advance!

OK, so having my Mac & TC hardwired by Ethernet, is like having the Hard Drive inside the TC hard wired to my Mac? Correct ? I'm sorry to repeat myself but I'm just trying to understand all this. I'm bad with Networking! So you think I should be streaming OK even with watching a movie I have in iTunes (which lives on the TC Internal Hard Drive) on my Apple TV? My Apple TV will be used Wirelessly. No Ethernet to Apple TV. Again, I appreciate the help. I don't want to buy it & find I can't do what I want. B&H in NY have the older TC 500 GB Model for $199.95 And I have a crappy router currently. So I figure I can kill 2 birds with one stone.( I love Birds. It's just an expression! If it works, it would be ideal for my situation.

Apple TV & Time Capsule Internet Dropping Connection

Dear Mac/Apple TV/Time Capsule users,
i had experienced the Dropping Connection problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1959199&start=0&tstart=0 .
and now i want to contribute to that thread
My hardware Imac 21,5, TC 1T(1gen), ATV (1 gen, 160GB)
Recently since i wanted to put a movie on my ATV i noticed than after uploading for 5 min
the upload stopped and the connection dropped from my TC .
So i've done everything:
- reboot TC many times, change channel, downgrade to 7.3.2, upgrade again
- downgraded ATV & upgraded again
The only way to have back the wi-fi connection from TC is to search and put again the password from the ATV .
i just solve the whole problem setting the wireless of the TC to N 5ghz good but invisible to my iPhone4…
The question is what happened ??? Maybe an interference from another N Router/Cordless Phone ?
Hope you'll find a reason 4 this..i can't explain !!!!!!!
Ciao

I wish I had a solutipn for you... I am having a similar problem which started in the last two days with my playstation not finding the network from the TC, although the AT! and everything else in the house can find it just fine. The connection in the AT1 is spotty. I wonder if setting the TC to "internet robustness" will help or hurt? I just tried that and will let you know if it helps. Also, often, the syncing stops and does not complete between our iMac (i7 processor) and our AT1.

Will the wifi function of time capsule interfere with my existing router?

Will the wifi function of time capsule interfere with my existing home network via my Cisco router?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The routers will only interfere if they are working with the same channel. Time Capsule sets up automatically the channel, so you shouldn't have any problem with both routers
