Backup - time capsule - ethernet - won't connect

I left my time capsule unconnected for a period of time, over a week anyway. I commenced a backup - unsurprisingly, using wireless it was taking a very long time.
I wanted to speed it up. I connected ethernet cable to ethernet ports in Macbook and Time Capsule. However, it won't connect. It says 'back up disk not available'.
I have looked around discussion topics and can't see a solution.
Anyone experience something similar or able to advise? Many thanks

I managed to work it out. You have to disable the wireless operation of the Time Capsule before you can get an ethernet connection to work. Wrongly assumed they might just operate as alternatives.
SO all sorted now ...

  • I bught a new Time Capsule 2Tb. I connected it to my internet router. I manege to set it up as base station but when i try to use it with time machine I always get the message "Check your IP addres"? What am I doing wrong? On my computer I have OSX 10.7.5

    What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
    We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
    Modem router, model, type of broadband?
    TC setup as bridge or router?
    Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
    Are you using wireless or ethernet?
    Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
    Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

  • How do I set up the Time Capsule without an internet connection

    How do I set up the Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive without an internet connection.   I am in a office situation in which I cannot access my work network.  I need to be able to share files on the Time Capsule over the wire connection.

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Update time capsule, since ipod not connect wifi to time capsule

    Hello,
    Since I update my Time Capsule(7.5.1), I cannont connect my ipod touch to wifi time Capsule.
    message ipod is : impossible de rejoindre le réseau RES_Didier
    My iMac is connected, my PC Windows is connected ans my Apple TV to.
    Only my ipod cannot connect.
    But, if i connect my ipod to an other wifi network it is ok.
    That is only with my time capsule that I cannot connect wifi!!
    Do you know why ? can you help me ? (sorry my english is not very good)
    Thanks
    Didier

    Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
    Do a full factory reset of the TC..
    Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
    Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
    Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
    ie scan via netstat.
    Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
    Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
    So Go .. Connect to server.
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
    The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
    If it fails the TC could be faulty.
    Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

  • Is there  way to store my movies on my Time Capsule instead of laptop drive? I will then run an external drive to backup Time Capsule.

    Is there  way to store and run my iMovies on my Time Capsule instead of laptop drive? I will then run an external drive to backup Time Capsule as my backup.  I want to dothis because my hard drive is full and I still have many movies to import form camcorder.

    I do not know about iMovie, but the experts in the iPhoto and Aperture support areas strongly advise against trying to install your "working" image library on the Time Capsule.
    You might want to ask about this in the iMovie support area.
    iMovie for Mac
    It would be much easier and much better if you use the external drive to connect to your Mac via USB or FireWire and then store the movies there.
    Then, Time Machine will back up both your Mac and the external hard drive automatically once you tell it to do so.

  • I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

    I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

    You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
    If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
    If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

  • I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Dan's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Dan’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
    Pull the power cable from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cable back into the back of the Tme Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again.

  • Very slow transfer to Time Capsule (Ethernet)

    I am trying to transfer 80 gb to my Time Capsule (Ethernet) but transfer is very slow (100 kb/s). How can I fix it?

    Plug the TC into the Computer by ethernet and make sure the computer shows the link is running at gigabit.. if not replace the cable.
    Turn off wireless.. there should be only one data path.. ethernet.
    Turn IPv6 to link local only in the computer network setup for ethernet.

  • Time Capsule not accepting initial connection

    Hi,
    I've got a 1Tb Time Capsule (original with wireless n or n/g compatible) and three Macs (last old style MacBook Pro, a newish unibody and a Mac Mini), and I'm having trouble with all three Macs connecting wirelessly to the Time Capsule. Basically first connection of a machine fails to find the TC: making the computer sleep and waking it and it then finds the TC immediately. As we are using laptops this is getting a bit irritating having to re-wake the computer each time you want to connect. Any ideas what may be causing this?
    I've tried resets of all hardware and upgrading to latest software. We have recently moved and the Time Capsule has been off for a while (a week). I've used iStumbler and there are a lot of networks around but nothing using the same channel.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Sam

    I'm not sure this will help, but since no one else had any suggestions for you, I'll offer it anyway. It might help to reset the connection settings on your Macs using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder "Pictures" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.'.

    My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.'. So I cannot use Time capsule to back up so what gives?

    Did you use migration assistant when you set up the computer?
    TM will treat this as a different computer and permissions issues can arise from that.
    Pondini is the expert on that stuff.. hopefully he can drop in.
    But I recommend you read all the FAQ to do with restore.. Q14-17.
    And then look at the permissions issues he lists in troubleshooting.

  • IBook G3 Ethernet won't connect...

    I'm staying at a hotel in Chenai, India and my Ethernet won't connect. All advice is to contact my ISP, but I can't remember my ISP. Do I simply have to type in a new IP address? If so, where do Ifind it? I need an Ethernet connection! SOS!

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You need to talk to the hotel and ask for their ISP address.
    You are trying to connect via their internet service, so you need their information.

  • Time Capsule Degrades Wireless Internet Connection: Help?

    Time Capsule Degrades Wireless Internet Connection: I am in FL using Brighthouse Cable as my internet provider (15MG down). The internet connection speed is slower than a dial up connection when wirelessly connected to my network to my Time Capsule. When I remove the Time Capsule and replace it with Brighthouses Netgear router the internet speed are normal (fast). Additionally, the internet speed is OK when I first hit a website, but the speed degrades rapidly as I access additional web pages. I no longer use my Time Capsule and therefore are not getting my back-up protection. (NOTE: I tried Verizon Fios and had the same problem.) Can anyone help?

    Bought the time capsule in Oct 2013.  I have a Sagemcom 2864 modem from Bell but used through Teksavvy.  The 5 ghz has been flaky until I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 I think.  I had a closer look at it and it appears that the wifi is ok.  I was thrown off by the wifi symbol being all animated in the menu bar.  I was able to ping the time capsule via wifi.  All the status lights on the modem looked ok.  Next time it happens, I'll see if I can get some more details.  Do you know if there's anyway to get some logs from the airport utility?
