Can see Time Capsule in Finder but cannot view contents of it?

Hi guys,
I've been having this issue on and off. Most of the time my Time Capsule works perfectly but sometimes I cannot access the conents saved on it. I am able to see the TC under 'shared' in Finder but when I try to access the stuff I have saved on it and nothing shows up. The only way I can find to restore visability, is to restart my macbook. Any one have this same issue?
Thanks!

I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music.

I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music. My phone rings and clicks, so I know some sound works. Ever since I synced my
phone on my computer, I cannot hear my music or any videos.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Cannot see Time Capsule for backup but internet perfect A

I've seen other posts about time capsule problems and most talk about wireless dropout and loss of internet connectivity. My situation is almost the reverse:
Full airport strength in menu bar. Full access to internet sites on at least one computer. Cannot see Time Capsule via Airport Utility or in Finder on any computer. Time Machine backups fail (marked as Delayed in menu bar item).
If I reboot (via unplugging) the Time Capsule, it shows up again in Airport Utility and backups are successful. This has happened three times now. I think the first time was prior to upgrading the firmware. The second two times were after the Time Capsule firmware upgrade. In the second two instances, it looks like the backups run for about 12-13 hours, every hour. No problems. Then, they drop out. Yesterday, it ran from 8:30 AM until 9 PM.
I've got two Macs (a Powerbook G4 and a MacBook Pro), each running latest software updates (security, 10.5.2, etc.).
Unplugging (rebooting) my Time Capsule each day is not an option. That's partly why I moved from an ancient LinkSys router that always needed to be rebooted since we lost local and internet access. Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Drew

Have you set up the TC with user accounts??
Most people just use the TC password..
I have done very little with user accounts on the TC.. it seems fundamentally wrong headed to me.. If you have a domain controller with everyone using accounts to login that is fine.. and the TC would then exist in connection to the domain controller.. but it is a home device and there is no function to all that.
What will happen if you change over to standard security or even turn on the guest account I am too scared to suggest as you may not easily get connection back again.. The TC certainly displays a warning going to accounts.. I am not sure of warnings going away from accounts.
If you didn't setup the TC, do you have admin access to it??
Perhaps I am assuming too much before you tell me everything. But I may suggest things you don't want to try.. unfortunately I cannot say this will work.. the issue is widespread across the Mountain Lion TC combo and I have yet to see Apple suggest a solution or even fess up there is a problem. Daily reboots are just simply now a part of the scene for all windows and Mac users.
Is the TC the main router for the network.. 1 hour is not default lease in the TC and very few people even know how to change it.. standard is 1day. I would consider 1hr adequately short for all arp tables to be kept up to date.. the computer should be seeking new lease at 30min.. ie half lease time.
If the TC is bridged an not controlling the network.. that can contribute to the issue.
Setting a static IP on the TC if it is bridged my help.

Can't see Time Capsule in finder using Yosemite OS

I'm using Yosemite 10.10.1 on my MacBook Pro and I just purchased a 1TB time capsule to replace my Belkin wireless router and WD external hard drive. I have my wireless network configured and am able to connect to the internet/connect wireless printer, but I cannot access Time Capsule in Finder. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Yosemite.
Open up System Preferences, then open Sharing
Check to see if the name of the Mac appears correctly....and there is not a (2), (3), (4) etc appearing as part of the name.
Some users have reported that turning off the firewall on their Macs has helped with this issue.
It may...or may not....help to make sure that the settings for IPv6 are set to Link Local Only on your Mac
Open System Preferences.....
Open Network > Click on WiFi > Click on Advanced > TCP/IP tab > Configure IPv6 set to Link Local Only > OK > Apply
Network > Click on Ethernet> Click on Advanced > TCP/IP tab > Configure IPv6 set to Link Local Only > OK > Apply

Connecting External Hard Drive to Time Capsule - In Finder but not Disk Utility

Hi,
So I've got a bit of a problem. I have connected my LaCie 2d Quadra External Hard Drive into my Time Capsule via USB for the simple purpose of making it wireless, as well as allowing both my husband and I to access the files on it. It works flawlessly on my husband's MacBook Pro: Shows up as an icon on the desktop as well as in Finder and Disk Utility. However, on mine I can access it via the Time Capsule in Finder (as a shared file), but it does not show up in Disk Utility nor on the Desktop. I tried installing the LaCie Desktop Manager, but, although it downloaded and installed fine, when I went to open it I received the error: "No LaCie Desktop Manager Compliant Device Found". I am assuming that is because it really is only even recognizing it at all in the Finder because it is a shared file, but not actually recognized as a Drive. And that explains why it is not on the Desktop or Disk Utility. Annoyingly, I can't drag the shared file onto my desktop either. Well I can, as an alias, but it says original not found when I try to access it.
Obviously, I would like to access the LaCie drive on my desktop wirelessly as my husband does, the way it does when I plug it in directly. If I connect it via USB directly into my MacBook, it works fine. So really it is just a matter of getting it up and running wirelessly, which I know it can do because it is doing it on my husband's. I am wondering if it is a Lion issue, as I am running Lion and my husband is running Snow Leopard? But then again...it does work with my Lion if I plug it in directly...sigh...
Here are our details:
Me: 2008 MacBook, running Lion
Hubby: 2008 MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm bewildered!

On your Lion MacBook, click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
Click Finder, then click Finder Preferences, then click the General tab
Under the heading of "Display these items on the desktop" make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to "Connected Servers"
Close Finder Preferences
Open Macintosh HD or the Finder
Look to see if the Time Capsule icon is displayed under the SHARED heading in the Finder
Click on the Time Capsule icon and folders representing the Time Capsule disk and your Lacie disk should appear to the right
Double click on the Lacie folder to mount the drive on the desktop
You may need to click Connect As at the upper right of the center window if your disk requires a password. Once the password is saved, you should not have to enter the password in the future.

I am ready to throw my computer out the window! I loaded the latest safari to and now at random pages will freeze. I can see what is going on, but cannot type anywhere! I have to shut down safari and go back in to even attempt to do anything. Please help!

Please help! I updated safari and yes it is an older desktop, but now all of the sudden tabs I have open will freeze on me. I can see what is going on, but am unable to type anywhere on the page!

I beg for someone to help me with this.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Cannot see Time Capsule in Finder

Greetings. I purchased a brand new Time Capsule. I set it up, and it would appear to be synced with Time Machine and working (steady green light) but I am wondering why I am unable to locate "Time Capsule" in my Finder? Thanks for your help. chris

Although Finder Preferences is normally set to "Show Connected Servers on the desktop", check to see if this is the case
Click anywhere on the open desktop to display the Finder menus at the top of the screen
Click Finder, then click Preferences, then the General tab
Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to "Connected Servers"
Then restart the Mac to see if the Time Capsule icon will appear under the SHARED heading in the Finder

I bought 2 mac book pros and have time capsule connected to router. Both computers can see time capsule but i can not see other computers.

I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.
Nick

Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

I can see a photo in Finder but not in iPhotos

Sorry to be a pain, i am sure the answer tothis question is simple, but as a new convert to Apple i am not familiar with the wrinkles.
i can see a photo in some view but not in iphoto.
Finder gives the file name, all details about the camera etc and even say it is in the Library :- Users/rosedayjo/Pictures/MacB iPhoto Library/Originals/2010/Last 12 Months
But of course when i go to the directory to which it refers i cant import this photo from there to reestablish it in the library because it says it is already in the library!.
So,
1. how does a photo seem to be in a library but is not.
2. how to i get to the file to return it into the library,
All help welcome

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Can see thumbnails of open tabs but cannot open them at all

Firefox upgraded itself on the weekend.
I have been visiting blogs through the Bloggers' Quilt Festival, which I'm participating in. I tried to leave comments but on the blogspot and blogger blogs was not able to. This morning I saw a bunch of extra thumbnail windows open in Firefox so I closed them, but now the whole of Firefox has shut on me. I can see two or three thumbnails and have a screenshot but I can't actually get them to open.
I saw the advice about starting Firefox in safe mode but that doesn't work from the thumbnails.
Really need help asap because I work from home and work depends on easy fast access that I depend on Firefox for

an alternative way to get into safemode (all other firefox windows have to be closed first): press windows-key + R and open:
firefox.exe -safe-mode

Just updated to the latest Firefox and now my MSN email will not function. I can see the titles as normal but cannot open individual emails

Just updated Firefox. Now I cannot open msn emails. Email titles appear as normal but will not open.

Hello ebarrow
If there is an issue with update or permissions the better, quickest and safest way is to download and install firefox:
1. Download with your safari a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''''Trash''''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
