Cannot connect my time capsule

I cannot connect my time capsule

It is a bit hard when you provide no info.. it don't work is not alot to go on.
So first.
Did it work in the past and has now failed.. if so did you change anything.. new modem.. new router.. new ISP.. update firmware, update OS etc.
Or
Is this a new TC and you have never before connected and still cannot??
How is the computer connected to the TC? Wireless or ethernet?
What OS is it running?
Have you restarted the TC or restarted the network?
Have you reset the TC?
What role does the TC have in the network?

Win 7 PC cannot connect to Time Capsule - despite flawless I'net connection

Hi, strange thing and I'd appreciate if someone knew a trick to solve it:
Although my Windows notebook can connect to the internet via our Time Capsule (WPA2 key, AES encryption) without any problems for a long time now, I cannot connect to it via AirPort even with the correct WPA key.
When running the AirPort utility I can see our TC with its name and IP address (10.0.1.1 as usual, I think) in the main view. After clicking "Manual Setup" or "Continue" in the main view, AirPort asks for the password.
After entering the password (same as the one that is in my settings for the WLAN connection via TC, of course), *TC REFUSES TO CONNECT* and the *"Enter password" window will appear over and over again*. No specific error message given.
The WLAN connection has been set up using the MacBook (I once read this could be a problem). Working proberly
all the time, though.
Tried deactivating both firewall and virus protection of my Norton security package on my Lenovo - no effect.
Background:
We intend to use an external USB hard drive which is connected to our Time Capsule. After TC has moaned that the drive had to be "repaired", we created partitions for Mac (OS X) and Windows (FAT) partition from the MacBook.
The MacBook can access the drive and partitions. Fine.
The Windows 7 notebook won't show the hard drive nor the Time Capsule. Thus, I have installed AirPort utility (V 5.5.1) to get access to the USB hard drive. And there I am - kinda stuck halfway...
Hardware setup:
Lenovo ThinkPad X61, Windows 7 Pro
MacBook, OS X 10.5.8
Time Capsule
1.0TB Buffalo Drive Station USB 3.0 plugged into Time Capsule
Help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Mark

I found something that worked for me. I got Error Number 53 when trying to connect to my time capsule using Airport Base Station Agent with windows vista. I think the issue is allowing your time capsule to be accessed over Bonjour; I think this feature is disabled by default. Well, here is what I did (also, this may answer the question for those of you who are confused to why it asks for a username/password when you attempted to map the time capsule's hdd) -
In Airport Utility: Airport >> Time Capsule
- Click "Edit..." and check the "Use dynamic global hostname" box.
- Enter in the info (for hostname, I used the same name as the local Hostname (at the top of that window, for user/password -- The info you enter here is the same info you must enter when you are prompted to, that is if you try to map the time capsule's hdd)
- Click "OK"
In Airport Utility: Disks >> Files Sharing
- Make sure "Share disks over WAN" is checked AND make sure "Share disks over the Internet using Bonjour" is checked as well.
- Click OK.
In Airport Utility: Click "Update", let it reset, and try accessing the Time Capsule via Airport Base Station Agent as you usually would/or mapping the harddrive"
In summary, since vista uses Bonjour, you must make sure your time capsule is 'Bonjour-accessible'
I Hope this solution alleviates a lot of people's problems!!!
Oh yea, this solution worked with firmware 7.4.1
AND...prior to trying this method, I did enable NETBIOS. It was enabled while I did this solution (and still is). I haven't tried it with it disabled (well maybe not disabled - it's on automatic by default).

MacBook Pro cannot connect to Time Capsule

My Mac Book was connecting to my time capsule and recently quit being able to connect. Do not know what happened. Have tried resetting and redoing and now my computer does not even recognize the hard drive as being there.

Can your MacBook Pro access the Time Capsule if it is connected by Ethernet? Does your MBP have any issues connecting to other Wi-Fi networks or just the TC's?

Cannot Connect to Time Capsule: "the backup disk is not available"

I am having a problem that I can't diagnose with my 500 GB Time Capsule (my HD is 128GB). The firmware is current. I first did a search for 'the backup disk is not available' since that is the message displayed in the Time Machine window (with the red checkmark).The Time Machine widget says this:
Attempting to mount network destination using URL: afp://[email protected]/xxx%20xxx's%20Time%20Capsu
NetAuthConnectToServerSync failed with error: 89 for url: afp://[email protected]/xxx%20xxx's%20Time%20Capsu
I installed the widget after I went to the Time Machine - Troubleshooting user tip, here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2057525. Also went to Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE, here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2296894
I also renewed the DHCP lease, tried to do 'connect as' from the Sidebar window, also via go-> connect to server ("there was an error connecting to the server Timecapsule; Check the server name or IP address & try again"), go to Time Machine under System Preferences, select "None" for hard drive, turned off Time Machine, then turned it back on and reselect Time Capsule as the hard drive to backup (timed out), tried re-setting up the Time Capsule both automatic & manual (times out when reading TC configuration)., and finally, writing this post.
I am connected to the internet with the Time Capsule, and I am concerned about making too many changes, because I don't want to risk losing my internet connection, since that seems to be working fine. I was able to make regular backups until yesterday. Tracing my steps from when it used to work to when it 'broke':
1)I attempted (unsuccessfully) to mount the Time Capsule so that I could do a search on it. (I didn't realize at the time that I couldn't mount a wireless device.)
2)The only other thing I did was drag some music folders that I wanted backed up next to my sparsebundle backup (which I can no longer see, because the Time Capsule is no longer accessible via the finder) only to get the spinning ball with the copying window, which I couldn't force quit unless I quit the Finder. So, I force quit, rebooted, and repaired the disk/permissions with disk utility.
Did I do something wrong by dragging & dropping my files over trying to use it as a backup AND a an external HD? Or trying to mount the drive? Or maybe since adding several gigs of music, I took up too much space & now don't have room for a backup? (In which case, I need to access the drive & erase the music, and start over: if only I could SEE it I could do that.)
I am still doing searches trying to see what I need to do; I haven't yet re-set it, due to my concern about my internet connection, which could potentially prevent me from getting any information to fix it. At this time, I am not sure if this is a Time Capsule, Time Machine, or Airport issue. During the time that I have been writing this, the red check changed to 'connecting' but then the 'delayed - Time Machine is not available' message came back up
TIA

Reboot the network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap.
This is just standard windows.. woops, Mac OS networking now.

I have set up Time Capsule to use with Time Machine but when I open Time Machine it 'cannot find' the Time Capsule and I have to 'Select the Disk' each time. In the Next Backup tab it always says "When disk is connected" even though the disk is already connected.

Your pro doesn't matter.. I presume it is happily working.
Your imac setup has got messed up because you changed from a local (my book being USB type I presume) to network drive. Did you do a clean install of Lion?
Did you use the backup from the Pro on the imac? Otherwise I don't see how the Pro shows up in use previous disk. Where is Pondini when you need him??
You cannot download Time Machine as an App and replace the current version. It is built into the OS.. the only way to do it is a clean install. Unfortunately that might be the only way around the issue.
There is a number of issues that Pondini has covered in the setup issues of troubleshooting.
This is the most relevant I think. http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
But look at the whole section B setup problems.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If it was me, I would store all the info you need.. not using TM but using a straight copy of files.
Then clean install Lion. I doubt any of these issues would exist if you had not installed Lion over existing setup or used a different backup.
See if you can get Pondini to respond.. !!

How do i connect my time capsule from outside my home? i dont have static ip

Here is your primary issue.. you cannot connect with win7 ..
Windows only offers SMB protocol which just about every ISP.. all responsible ones ...block..
Time Capule offers AFP to internet and only AFP.
You need to use a Mac to connect.. then use BTMM and iCloud as there is no dyndns in the TC anyway. (Actually there is a dyndns but only for apple btmm use... you cannot access.
If you want to or have to use windows.. then get a proper vpn router that offers vpn endpoints to windows and has dyndns.. setup the TC in bridge behind the vpn router and access via vpn .. this is the only safe way of connecting using SMB.

How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

How do I connect my time capsule with a Lynksis wi fi netwotk?

You cannot extend or repeat a non-apple router in an apple router..
You must plug it in via ethernet and then setup roaming network (or if you like a completely separate network.. makes no difference from the TC point of view). TC is in bridge mode. That is router bridge not wireless bridge.. I gave the info on the other thread you are running.. very confusing when you ask in multiple threads.

How to connect a Time Capsule to an existing Airport Extreme?

I have an Airport Extreme connected to my broadband internet modem. This Airport Extreme is also connected to my audio system to be used by iTunes.
Recently I brougth my Time Capsule from another location to be included in the Airport Extreme network. I want to continue using Time Machine on the Time Capsule, and iTunes on the Airport Extreme.
I could get this to work, by connecting the Time Capsule to my modem, and setting it up to extend an existing network (the Airport Extreme network). Airport Extreme and Time Capsule are situated next to each other. However, performance of Time Machine was horrible, far too slow. If I connect my MacBook to the Time Capsule by an ethernet cable, it does not work.
When I set up the Time Capsule to create another wireless network, performance of Time Machine is okay. I cannot use iTunes on the Airport Extreme in that case. I have to switch networks for that.
I'm sure it should be possible to have both an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule in one network, use iTunes on the Extreme, and Time Machine on the Time Capsule. But I do not know how it should be arranged.
Can anyone solve this problem?
Greetings from Holland, Koen

+What surprises me is that with setting 1 (TC joining AX) the Time Capsule has an option to extend the range of the network being joined.+
Yes, but it will only "extend" if you have a newer version of the AirPort Express, the 802.11"n" version. If you have an older "b/g" version of the AirPort Express, you can set the Time Capsule to "extend", but it won't and you'll have problems.
+With setting 2 (AX joining TC) the Airport Express does not seem to have this option.+
This probably confirms that you have an older "b/g" version of the AirPort Express. It does not have the "extend" feature.
+Could it be this option (which I did not switch off in my earlier experiments) which gave me such terribly bad transfer rates to my Time Capsule harddisk?+
That's probably the reason since the older version of the AirPort Express cannot be configured to "extend".

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help, thanks.

I have a macbook pro and use BT homehub 3. can't work out how to connect my time capsule. can anyone help? thanks

Just need to plug the TC in to the hub in bridge mode.. do not try and bridge the homehub.. it is not possible with the setup BT uses.
To bridge the TC.. plug it directly into a computer by ethernet.. no other connection to the TC or the computer.
Press and hold in reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
Release the reset.
Open the airport utility and setup the TC to bridge mode.
The actual method depends on version of the OS and airport utility you use.
This is version 5.
Sorry I cannot post the v6 as I am on a snow leopard computer now. But you go to the network tab, and choose off bridge mode for method of connection. It will be NAT and dhcp by default.
Then setup wireless.. you have a number of choices here.
Either setup with the same SSID Security and password, as the homehub uses.. or a different name, and password..
Each method works fine.. but you sometimes have issues with wireless channels.. for now leave it on auto and see what happens.. if you have issues lock down the radio channels on both devices.. use one out of the following on each, 1, 6, 11 or 13 in UK.. so say 6 on the homehub then 13 onthe TC.
Update the TC.. unplug fromt the computer and plug it into the homehub.
If you have other issues with the setup tell us what OS you run so we can post suitable screenshots.

How to connect a time capsule with an ATT Elevate Hot Spot

Hi,
Need help connecting my time capsule to my ATT Elevate Hot Spot....since I have no ethernet connection.
Thanks!

Not sure how much we can help on this, but as a test, if you turn off the wireless on your MacBook and connect it to the router using an Ethernet cable, you should be able to log onto the Internet.
If you can, you know the Ethernet connection is working, and it will be a simple matter to connect the Time Capsule to the router and get it set up.
If you cannot get an Internet connection when you connect the Mac directly to the router, then more troubleshooting will be required.

No connection to Time Capsule router after restoring backup

I had a hard disk failure in Macbook Pro and the disk was replaced with fresh Yosemite 10.10. The Macbook Pro had Mavericks before the crash. I use a Time Capsule as router for several laptops, Ipads and mobile phones and for Time Machine backups and it works fine. Restoring the system from Time Machine backup to the Mackbook Pro by WiFi went fine. Took some 7-8 hours overnight. The problem with the Macbook Pro is now that it cannot locate the Time Capsule either with WiFi or Ethernet connection and cannot connect to internet. I can detect the restored Macbook Pro using the Airport Utility of a Macbook Air with OS 10.7.5. I can detect the Time Capsule and even modify its settings using the Airport Utility of the Macbook Pro by using the Time Capsule address. But the Airport Utility of the Macbook Pro still keeps on searching the configured base station, that is the Time Capsule. So, this is not a hardware problem, but some settings in the Macbook Pro. Any ideas?

What are you using to connect to it?
Do a full factory reset and plug in by ethernet to do the setup.
Reset instructions here.

How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
Thanks!!
PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
On the next tab where you set IP address.
Click the renew IP address.
It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

OSStatus error -6602, when trying to connect to time capsule

OSStatus error -6602, when trying to connect to time capsule for back up.
I am prompted for my
How do I decode the error messages?

The information from a Google search indicates the error is generated when connecting to a PC share. So this may be some kind of error generated by the NAS' operating system. In any event I cannot find such an error number associated with OS X so if it is an OS X error number then it's not publicly documented. I would still think Synology's tech support should be able to help you since it is their device. If they sent you here then they're passing the buck.

Can I connect my Time Capsule using Verizon FIOS

Can I connect my Time Capsule directly to Verizon FIOS connection?

Suyiitapi wrote:
So I have to use Verizon's router first and cannot go directly into Time Capsule then. Corrrect?
I am not sure we are talking about the same thing..
The FIOS is a full router.
You plug the TC into the FIOS by ethernet.. WAN TC, LAN FIOS.
Then you plug your computer into TC or FIOS.. or you can use TC wireless or FIOS wireless.. both will connect to both TC and internet. But generally for high speed backups, you will be better connecting directly to the TC.. whether by wireless or ethernet.
