MTTR/MTBR Breakdown and Machine Failure Time

We create PM Notification with the IW24 where we enter the Breakdown time.
The problem is that we need to monitor the MTTR/MTBR (MCJB, MCJC & MCI7) but only when there is a breakdown because of a malfuction of the machine (machine failure) and not for a non-machine-cause breakdown. We need to register both times (Breakdown, and Machine Failure).
I think that an option is using these 3 scenarios:
    1. If we select the "Breakdown box" it will be a machine failure.
    2. If we not select the "Breakdown box", but there is a quantity on the "Breakdown duration" .. It will represent that there   were a Breakdown.
    3. If we not select the "Breakdown box", but there is NOT a quantity on the "Breakdown duration" .. It will represent that there were NOT a Breakdown.
The problem is that if we use the 3rd scenario, when we save the Notification (or the PM Order) the time disappears.
¿There is an option to save the time even do the "Breakdown box" is not selected?
¿Where can I configurate the PM Notification? ¿Or where can I configurate the MTTR/MTBR (MCJB, MCJC or MCI7)?

Hello
Manzarek     ,
I will suggest you following;
1.Just create different different notification types for all your scenarios.
2.Just select the breakdown vies in the notification type where the actual machine breakdown occurs due to machine failure.
The path for that is
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Notification Creation->Notification Types->Define Notification Types
3. You can not directly enter the breakdown time without completion of the same.

Rental Process.

Hi,
In rental business wants month wise billing but some times due to breakdown of machine business wants day wise billing.
How to configured in the system & how pricing will calculate day wise & month wise both.
Example : confirm me how to calculate & configured price on Day wise or month wise billing of rental Vehicle.
Thanks,
Miku.
Edited by: miku143 on Dec 25, 2011 8:34 PM

Hello
As suggested, calculate the price on day basis and use UoM as 1UoM = 1 day.
In case the price rate is different for daily and monthly usage, provide discount if the vehicle is used for complete month i.e. UoM = 30 or 31.
Maintain the condition records for price and discount per day.

Using the same external drive with Time Machine on new mac?

I recently got a new mac because my old one broke. Thankfully, I had a fresh backup on Time Machine ready to restore onto my new computer. But when I try to use Time Machine with my new computer, it keeps wanting to do a whole new backup. It won't recognize the latest backup to only add new or changed files.
Here's a breakdown of my events:
new computer
restore Time Machine on new computer at install
want to continue using the external drive with Time Machine from where I left off (only adding new files since the last backup) on my new computer
Time Machine wants to do a whole new backup
Question: How can I continue to use my existing external hard drive with Time Machine on my new computer, picking up where I left off (not a new, complete backup)?
My old computer was Snow Lepoard, my new one is Lion.

That should have left a "trail" in your SystemMigration log, so Time Machine can figure out what happened and automatically "inherit" the old backups. But sometimes, obviously, that doesn't work.
Since it didn't, there's a chance you can do it manually. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

How do I find the breakdown of GB's used in my "My Documents" folder?

My MacBook Pro has been running very slowly - I see the beach ball all the time. After looking through the topics I realized that it's because I have:
CAPACITY - 148.73GB
AVAILABILITY - 22.03GB
USED - 126.7GB
My my documents folder is currently using 103.98GB of that space and I think it's time to clear it out. My question is: am I able to see a breakdown of how that 103.98 is being used? AND am I able to find out what the other 22GB's is being used for?

Of course the first thing to do is just view the Documents folder sorted by size in list view.
If you want even more detail, you can download a helpful program called WhatSize.
FYI, though, if you have 22GB free space, that's almost certainly not why you're seeing the beach ball. There may instead be a rogue program or process that's running constantly and slowing down your machine.

How do I Access purple backups from external hard drive for Time Machine

My hard drive crashed and I installed a new one.
Did internet recovery and upgraded to my previous OS.
I am trying to get my data but the backup is purple that I need and I cannot access it.
How do I do this.
Also if I did something wrong, how do I setup Time machine to restore my whole system and set it up so the backups are accessible instead of purple.
Thanks in advance.
I am using Mavericks

Very impressive that it is that easy but trying to get my data is a pain.
Time Machine is a backup of your computer SYSTEM, not idealized as a data archive.

Data Storage Platforms; their Drawbacks & Advantages
#1. Time Machine / Time Capsule
Drawbacks:
1. Time Machine is not bootable, if your internal drive fails, you cannot access files or boot from TM directly from the dead computer.
2. Time machine is controlled by complex software, and while you can delve into the TM backup database for specific file(s) extraction, this is not ideal or desirable.
3. Time machine can and does have the potential for many error codes in which data corruption can occur and your important backup files may not be saved correctly, at all, or even damaged. This extra link of failure in placing software between your data and its recovery is a point of risk and failure. A HD clone is not subject to these errors.
4. Time machine mirrors your internal HD, in which cases of data corruption, this corruption can immediately spread to the backup as the two are linked. TM is perpetually connected (or often) to your computer, and corruption spread to corruption, without isolation, which TM lacks (usually), migrating errors or corruption is either automatic or extremely easy to unwittingly do.
5. Time Machine does not keep endless copies of changed or deleted data, and you are often not notified when it deletes them; likewise you may accidently delete files off your computer and this accident is mirrored on TM.
6. Restoring from TM is quite time intensive.
7. TM is a backup and not a data archive, and therefore by definition a low-level security of vital/important data.
8. TM working premise is a “black box” backup of OS, APPS, settings, and vital data that nearly 100% of users never verify until an emergency hits or their computers internal SSD or HD that is corrupt or dead and this is an extremely bad working premise on vital data.
9. Given that data created and stored is growing exponentially, the fact that TM operates as a “store-it-all” backup nexus makes TM inherently incapable to easily backup massive amounts of data, nor is doing so a good idea.
10. TM working premise is a backup of a users system and active working data, and NOT massive amounts of static data, yet most users never take this into consideration, making TM a high-risk locus of data “bloat”.
11. TM like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
12. *Level-1 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. TM is very easy to use either in automatic mode or in 1-click backups.
2. TM is a perfect novice level simplex backup single-layer security save against internal HD failure or corruption.
3. TM can easily provide a seamless no-gap policy of active data that is often not easily capable in HD clones or HD archives (only if the user is lazy is making data saves).
#2. HD archives
Drawbacks:
1. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
2. Unless the user ritually copies working active data to HD external archives, then there is a time-gap of potential missing data; as such users must be proactive in archiving data that is being worked on or recently saved or created.
Advantages:
1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
#3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
Drawbacks:
1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
Advantages:
1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
#4. Online archives
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
Advantages:
1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
#5. DVD professional archival media
Drawbacks:
1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
Advantages:
1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.

How do I save files from my HD onto Time Machine?

If I delete files on my hard drive to free up space (i.e., movie files that I want to save in an external harddrive), time machine will not keep these files for me on my external harddrive, since time machine just backs up what is in Macintosh HD. Right? How do I make it so Time Machine does NOT delete these files from it's archive?

How do I make it so Time Machine does NOT delete these files from it's archive?
You need to seriously consider options OTHER than time machine for important data. TM premise is storing a copy of your machine, its design and purpose is not for archiving important data youve spent years working on, despite countless people who in fact, and in error, use it that way.
since time machine just backs up what is in Macintosh HD. Right?
Correct, time machine is an entry level backup methodology, you need to consider something other than time machine for that.   You NEVER want to work off the premise of needing to delete things.
Buy an external HD and store vital files on there, .....Time Machine is a sytem backup, NOT a data archive, nor a primary redundancy.

2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.
Make a (some) Redundancy of data
Secondary data on a single external HD or RAID array is not a redundancy, but a PRIMARY data copy.          First Redundancy takes place on a Secondary storage medium/locus. (both of these external of course)
2nd level protection in any redundancy necessitates it "be unconnected".           Data ON the actual computer is not considered, ergo a single copy OFF a computer is just that, a backup / copy. Redunancy begins as secondary to a FIRST COPY

Breakdown history report in one t.code

Dear PM Guru's,
i got one requirement from the users, he wants a report such that, in one report he wants to see the Equipment, Breakdown duration, Damage, Cause, Tasks & Activities. i explored all the t.codes which i know in sap, but there its avaialable in different t.codes and the same time user wants graph for each machine and month wise.
Please let me know the any other transaction codes.

"About This Mac" Storage Screen and Time Machine Question

Hello,
I've been poking around in Lion a bit, and noticed something odd...
When you go to About This Mac >> More info >> Storage, my external hard drive that only has my Time Machine backup on it is displayed entirely as "other" in the file-type breakdown. Thusly, all utilized space is shown as yellow, as opposed to the purple that would designate it as "backup" information.
Is there something wrong with my Time Machine backup, or are other people experiencing this as well? It just seems strange that the results of the built-in backup application are not recognized as a backup by Lion.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-Kevin

Yes. The purple Backups refers to (some of ) the storage used for Local snapshots (on laptops, see #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions), and, apparently, Versions.
There are many other misleading and inaccurate things there, too.

Communication Breakdown

Hi All
I have issues with one of our xserves.
First symptom was an ARD connection that came up with only a black screen. I could however at that time ssh into it.
Next attempt at ARD would time out.
Backed up our databases from it (via ssh and rsync) and connected ok with server admin.
Checked for updates (ARD and most recent security update) and ran them.
On restart server admin could not communicate.
Tested ssh and connection was refused.
Ping was ok and returned no packet loss.
Connected with Server Monitor and it says everything is ok but I notice no graph on the network monitor.
Connected via ARD to my office admin machine and attempted ssh from there. No joy.
Tested Filemaker Remote to FM Server on that machine. No server shows up.
What's confusing is that one ip (server monitor) on the same interface is ok but the other ip number is only responding to ping.
DNS server on the network is fine and the name for this xserv resolves both directions properly.
There is a second xserve in the same cabinet and all works fine with that machine so it sort of rules out connection over the vpn (router based) as an issue.
The only other unique thing about this machine is that it runs MYOB server.
Only unusual thing during the day was one LDAP Hosted Home user had a kernel panic while connected to a bank web site and was scrolling down a page. They restarted their machine and logged in ok but MYOB said they still had the file open and wouldn't let them reconnect to it. (This has happened before and resolved by ARD connection, Activity Monitor and killing the MYOB process and restarting it)
I'll have to go in in the morning and check whether its a dud ethernet cable and connect a monitor or shutdown and restart from the front panel.
Anyone have any clues where I need to start looking for a fix ?
Kind Regards
Eric

Worries about restarting RAC machines...

Dear all,
I have install and configure RAC following hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi document. Everything is ok and running smoothly. BUT I have few doubts in restarting both nodes in RAC. I am not sure after giving a restart to the system, they will run properly or not. As vipca configure virtual IPs at run time only and if I restart the network services or machine the virtual IPs are not pingable and they are only in host file. This might create problems if i restart. There might be others that i might dont know.
Kindly help me to understand what options must be set and done on permanent basis be4 i give a restart to both machine? Like how to permanently configure virtual IPs and other requirements for RAC.
Regards,
Imran

> I though by giving document reference, like hunter-rac10gr2_iscsi you will have an idea about the
os and oracle verison
From the title we can only deduce that you're using 10r2 and SCSI drives. No mention to what patch set version is being used, whether OCFS and/or ASM is used, whether Oracle CRS is used or a vendor CRS stack, or even what o/s is used. Dealing with raw devices for example and not ASMlib, requires different startup settings to ensure that the raw devices are mapped correctly. Using Multipath is again a different config all together. Etc. Etc.
RAC is a complex s/w stack. Which is why giving a short but accurate breakdown of this stack (with version numbers) is important.

Backups without Time Machine?

I'm wondering what the options are for backups without Time Machine. I'm a tech support guy from a way back who's primarily worked with *nix and Windows machines, and I'm no stranger to setting up networks, NAS devices and filers, etc.
This is an all-Apple setup - MacBook Pros, iMacs, iPads, iPhones, etc. There were 2 Time Capsules in the mix, but they both began to fail so we replaced them with a single Seagate 4-bay NAS attached to 2 LAN ports. This is a 10/100/100 network with N-wireless and Gigabit switches.
Both before and after swapping out the Time Capsules for the NAS, we received the "
Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.
message on the MacBooks, less often on the iMac. Post-NAS implementation, we are still seeing on the MacBooks. I've tried relaxing the backup settings to every 3-4 hours since all machines were set to backup every hour as default and I believe they were stepping on each other.
I'm not ruling out the network, or anything at this point, but it seems odd that Time Machine will complete a backup, then at some point in the future find that it's not valid and need to go again from scratch. It's not ideal to use Time Machine if it needs a new full backup every ~2 days or more.
So I'm simultaneously looking for any advice on how to resolve the Time Machine error, and/or how to perform routine backups to the NAS without Time Machine.
Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering what the options are for backups without Time Machine
Time machine is NOT a data backup, its a system (/emergency) backup. (whats the difference? the system is data?!, Yes, however the difference is huge).
....and most pros (nearly all) are absolutely NOT using Time machine as a source, and never as a single source to archive important data.
Time machine by definition is absolutely not a data archive, nor a storage nexus for vital data, which is secure by definition.

1. Fills the gap left in a week or 2-week-old HD clone, as an example.
2. Simplex no-software data storage that is isolated and autonomous from the computer (in most cases).
3. HD archives are the best idealized storage source for storing huge and multi-terabytes of data.
4. Best-idealized 1st platform redundancy for data protection.
5. *Perfect primary tier and level-2 security of your vital data.
#3. HD clones (see below for full advantages / drawbacks)
Drawbacks:
1. HD clones can be incrementally updated to hourly or daily, however this is time consuming and HD clones are, often, a week or more old, in which case data between today and the most fresh HD clone can and would be lost (however this gap is filled by use of HD archives listed above or by a TM backup).
2. Like all HD-based data is subject to ferromagnetic and mechanical failure.
Advantages:
1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
7. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.
#4. Online archives
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to server failure or due to non-payment of your hosting account, it can be suspended.
2. Subject, due to lack of security on your part, to being attacked and hacked/erased.
Advantages:
1. In case of house fire, etc. your data is safe.
2. In travels, and propagating files to friends and likewise, a mere link by email is all that is needed and no large media needs to be sent across the net.
3. Online archives are the perfect and best-idealized 3rd platform redundancy for data protection.
4. Supremely useful in data isolation from backups and local archives in being online and offsite for long-distance security in isolation.
5. *Level-1.5 security of your vital data.
#5. DVD professional archival media
Drawbacks:
1. DVD single-layer disks are limited to 4.7Gigabytes of data.
2. DVD media are, given rough handling, prone to scratches and light-degradation if not stored correctly.
Advantages:
1. Archival DVD professional blank media is rated for in excess of 100+ years.
2. DVD is not subject to mechanical breakdown.
3. DVD archival media is not subject to ferromagnetic degradation.
4. DVD archival media correctly sleeved and stored is currently a supreme storage method of archiving vital data.
5. DVD media is once written and therefore free of data corruption if the write is correct.
6. DVD media is the perfect ideal for “freezing” and isolating old copies of data for reference in case newer generations of data become corrupted and an older copy is needed to revert to.
7. Best-idealized 4th platform redundancy for data protection.
8. *Level-3 (highest) security of your vital data.
[*Level-4 data security under development as once-written metallic plates and synthetic sapphire and likewise ultra-long-term data storage]
#6. Cloud based storage
Drawbacks:
1. Cloud storage can only be quasi-possessed.
2. No genuine true security and privacy of data.
3. Should never be considered for vital data storage or especially long-term.
4. *Level-0 security of your vital data.
Advantages:
1. Quick, easy and cheap storage location for simplex files for transfer to keep on hand and yet off the computer.
2. Easy source for small-file data sharing.
#7. Network attached storage (NAS) and JBOD storage
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to RAID failure and mass data corruption.
2. Expensive to set up initially.
3. Can be slower than USB, especially over WiFi.
4. Mechanically identical to USB HD backup in failure potential, higher failure however due to RAID and proprietary NAS enclosure failure.
Advantages:
1. Multiple computer access.
2. Always on and available.
3. Often has extensive media and application server functionality.
4. Massive capacity (also its drawback) with multi-bay NAS, perfect for full system backups on a larger scale.
5. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
JBOD (just a bunch of disks / drives) storage
Identical to NAS in form factor except drives are not networked or in any RAID array, rather best thought of as a single USB feed to multiple independent drives in a single powered large enclosure. Generally meaning a non-RAID architecture.
Drawbacks:
1. Subject to HD failure but not RAID failure and mass data corruption.
Advantages:
1. Simplex multi-drive independent setup for mass data storage.
2. Very inexpensive dual purpose HD storage / access point.
3. *Level-2 security of your vital data.
Time Machine is a system hub backup, not a data hub backup
Important data you “don’t dare lose” should not be considered ultimately safe, or ideally stored (at the very least not as sole copy of same) on your Time Machine backup. Hourly and daily fluctuations of your system OS, applications, and software updates is the perfect focus for the simple user to conduct ‘click it and forget it’ backups of the entire system and files on the Macbook HD.
Bootable clones are the choice of professionals and others in that Time Machine cannot be booted from and requires a working HD to retrieve data from (meaning another computer). Your vital data needs to be and should be ‘frozen’ on some form of media storage, either in a clone, as an archived HD containing important files, or on DVD blank archival media.
A file that is backed up to Time Machine is unsafe in that if that file is deleted off the computer by accident or lost otherwise, that file will likewise vanish from Time Machine as it reflects changes on the internal computer HD/SSD.

Yosemite window pixelation/breakdown

I am currently using a MacBookPro and upgraded to Yosemite about a month ago. I had a major problem with my screen and this was replaced under Applecare in the last month or so (so I should still have 4-5 months support on the hardware).
Since I use Firefox rather than Safari (only used it once since installing Yosemite) this seems a wider problem than reported in:Safari 8.0 rendering issues on Yosemite.
I have the same problem but it applies to a wider range of applications. Background windows are pixelated (as in some sections of the window illustrated on Safari). When that window is selected it is redrawn correctly. I have not yet been able to test whether the problem is resolved when the application is selected or when the specific window is selected as the problem appears to occur at random.
There is one further linked problem. I needed to take a screen dump of text on the screen in order to import it into a Omnigraffle Pro. The icon on the desktop shows this correctly, but when the image is imported, it appears pixellated.
I have not yet been able to find a closer problem than the discussion about Safari 8.0. Has anyone else seen the problem in other applications?

Unfortuately not. The problem that allowed me to have a replacement under
AppleCare was a complete breakdown of the screen - the screen went more or
less 'blue' and the start up screens showed 'ghosting'. From the one other
piece of advice I have received I will take the machine in and see if they
can check the screen — although I have done a hardware check and the memory
chips appear to be ok.
I have also been using Java directly, but this occurred before I used Java
myself — so the only possibility is that some Web application has
interfered with the system ... but that should not (logically) have
affected the contents of another window ... but then neither should any
other application.
I do use Adobe Acrobat ... and the CS4 'Bridge' always complains that it
wants Java 6 and this has only been reported since upgrading to Yosemite
(as far as I can remember), but that is not a problem for me so I just
ignore it at the moment.
I will let you know if I have any luck with Apple.
Cheers Chris

Time Machine Can Not Backup

At first the error was that the sparsebundle was in use. Manually deleting got it working for a short time, but then I got other, more general errors. Including ones saying there was no space on the TC, which makes no sense since it's supposed to delete old backups automatically to make space (both my HD and my TC hold 1 TB and the HD is only half full). Rebooting Apple Time Capsule led to a several days long backup attempt then it failed. Now it just fails when I try to backup.
"Backup Failed. Time Machine couldn't back up to "Cyndi's Time Capsule."
Running Mavericks (10.9.3) on MacBook Pro, connection via ethernet. TC firmware is 7.6.4 (I updated it as part of my troubleshooting).
I'm assuming I need to do a wipe or reformat of the Time Capsule and start from scratch. But I want to make sure that one, that's the right thing and two, that I do it correctly.
Any Mavericks-specific advice is welcome.
Thanks,
Cyndi

Mavericks latest update was supposed to fix all these problems.. and pigs might also grow wings and fly.
The TC you have is fairly old.. at least 3years. And maybe up to 6years..
What model is it.. A1xxx from the base??
If it is earlier than Gen3.. ie A1355, my advice is to simply replace it.
For a Gen3 it can be worth the effort to see if it will be reliable but know you are living on borrowed time. This model used a less than super reliable hard disk. And the hardware can just breakdown. So 3years is getting to be end time marker for stuff.
Format the disk may be necessary.. I am not sure.
But you certainly need to do a factory reset.
1.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
2. Redo the setup with airport utility.
Give the TC all SMB compatible names.. That simply means names that are short.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg Your current name fails. "Cyndi's Time Capsule"
It has spaces and an apostrophe.
I recommend a name like TCgen3
For wireless use TCwifi
Anything you like as long as it follow the rules.. short, less than 10 characters is excellent.. make 20 tops. No spaces and purely alphanumeric.
3. Manually mount the TC.
In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
Type in the address.
AFP://TCname.local (Where TC name is the new short name. Local is the default domain and seems to help).
or. Even Better if the TC is setup as main router or with static IP.
AFP://10.0.1.1 (this is the default IP of the TC.. type in its IP address but that means it has to be fixed.)
When you do the above you will be asked for a password.. type that in.. public by default. But the new setup may force you to change it.
Don't forget to save it in your keychain.
4. Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local.
eg for wireless in the network preferences on the computer.
5. You might still need to keep things awake now and then by rebooting the TC.. if Mavericks forgets where the TC lives just pull the power cord.. count to 10 and plug back in. If it happens once a week.. it is merely annoying.. more often than that.. well I would start seeking another backup means altogether.
I also btw think a Gen3 TC or earlier is going to work better on 7.5.2 firmware. If the above happens I would try the downgrade.. easy to do in v6 utility.. simply hold down the option key while clicking version.
You might need to click other to pick up earlier ones.. but 7.6.1 is certainly more stable than 7.6.4
