Data folder can not be opened in finding " AirPort Time Capsule " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist .

Hi
I have a " AirPort Time Capsule " (firmware 7.7.3) When I try to open the data folder in "finder". Then I got the message " The operation can not be completed because the original item for " data" does not exist". I have a lot of data and I can understand why I get this message?
Anyone who can help? Thanks..

Get a USB drive of 2TB or more.. assuming your TC is 2TB. Either preformatted Mac or plug into your Mac and format it standard Mac OS Extended Journaled in disk utility.
Do a full archive of the TC. You do this using airport utility. Do not click the erase disk.. I marked in green.. just the archive.. that is to backup the internal disk to the USB disk. It is not fast.. take it that the process will go at around 40-50GB/hr.
Once you complete the archive .. it is a direct image of the data on your TC.. you can then plug it into your computer directly.. and then try and open the files you lost.. if you cannot open them.. open disk utility and fix the permissions.

Or try the methods apple recommends..
OS X Yosemite: Set permissions for items on your Mac
It is possible to fix things on the USB drive because it is locally mounted.. but you cannot fix it on TC which is network drive.

I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups and it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule to use with my Mac running latest Maverics. After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups from my small driveand it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?

I overcame the permissions by allowing both paths to have read and write access to anyone but that didnt solve it until I copied it into the DATA directory which I created on the Airport Time Capsule.
I had already discovered the TIME MACHINE How to transfer backups but I am struggling still with the item and cannot currently get it to work. My setup seems to have created a wireless link to my router which is what I wanted and in that set up there are three options. I have simply gone for the extension of my network. I ignored the other option there which I cannot remember something like DNS? That may be the problem becasuse when I remove the Ethernet connector it just doesnt go anywhere.
I have also found I cannot update my TIME MACHINE software (currently 1.3) as although Apple tell me I should be able to set backups hourly daily or weekly I have only ever been able to run it hourly when i would prefer longer intervals so thought an update might be necssary.
Also tried to get an update for my Airport Utility (Currently 6.3.2 but cannot find one even though I have read there might be one available and again this might be the problem.
Have reset the Time Capsule now about a dozen times.
Following the instructions and trying to copy my existing backup it suggests you need to copy it to the root directory but that is when I get some sort of security issue and I found I could only get it to accept if I dragged my .backupdb to the DATA directory on the Time Capsule. I dont even know if I do this it will work when I come to use it.
I therefore found your reply of no more help than i had discovered but I hope you return to read this note because I really do need some help.
I am intending starting again in the next couple of days and fully documenting what I do and what I see and then as I suspect it will be no different and I will then seek an appointment at the Apple Store in Trafford Centre and if that proves unsuccessful then I still have time to return and become a dissatisfied customer with Apple for the first time in a long experience with Apple. I have noticed frightening notes on the conversations which point to problems of Mavericks working with Airport Time Machine!! So in the end it might not be me doing anything wrong. Unfortunately you do feel left out in the dark sometimes that is why I hope you can respond with a solution?

HT1178 Airport utility cannot find Airport Time Capsule base station

I just purchased the new AirPort Time Capsule 2TB and after trying to set it up with my MAC I realized that the AirPort utility software was old and instead tried setting it up with my ipad that has iOS 6.1.3. However eventhow I remain connected in the internet, I cannot find any base station with the updated AirPort utility. Reseting Time Capsule and modem has not helped. Has anyone else had the same problem and how have you solved it?

Sorry, can you please clarify, and provide a bit more information?
You can "see" the Time Capsule using your iPad, but not using AirPort Utility on your Mac, correct?
If yes, what version of AirPort Utility do you have on your Mac? If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen and click About AirPort Utility.
Post back with the version number that you see there.

The Sync could not complete because your network home at "(null)" does not allow writing.

Please let me know what information you require to prooerly troubleshoot this.
PLEASE HELP ME FIX IT.

Lost connection between airport time capsule and extreme, can't get extreme back in network, says connection excellent

I have 2 terabyte Time capsule, last gen, not newest. I have a similar airport extreme to extend my network. I was running Lion. I upgraded to Maverick to see if it would fix this problem, and it did not. When using airport utility, latest version, it says that the extreme has an excellent connection, but fails to extend the network. This started the last time I upgraded Lion. I have tried rebooting, renaming the extreme to no avail. I moved it to the same room as the time capsule, no luck.

Hello Thomas,
You may want to try performing a factory reset on the AirPort Extreme.
If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.

HT3728 No status light at all on Airport/Time capsule. I can plug internet cable directly into bac of my MAC and have internet access no problem. Is my Airport dead and need to be replaced??

I have NO status light on my Airport/Time Machine, I unplugged the internet connection from back of Airport and plugged directly into my MAC and am able to get to the internet just fine.
The Airport is almost 6 years old
Is my Airport dead and just need to get a new one??

Unfortunately, yes. On the upside, your Time Capsule lasted about twice as long as normal.

How can I get access to my Airport Time Capsule while I have forgotten my password

The harddisk of my iMac had crashed, lately. After te repair the iMac had to configured again, also the connection to the Airport Time Capsule.
I have my password to connect to Time Capsule forgotten. Is there a way to install the Time Capsule again with a new or without a password.

Problems accessing time capsule data "The operation can't be completed because the original [...]"

So as my title would suggest, I'm having time capsule issues.
First of all, I'm running a MBPret late 2013. Currently I'm trying to setup my time capsule in my university dorm room for two reasons:
1) I want to use the internet they provide us.
2) I want to use time capsule as a backup drive.
I am not permitted to use wifi as per my contract with the university, unfortunate, but fine, I can use ethernet, I have the ethernet -> thunderbolt adapter.
Now, thus far, I've setup my time capsule normally (this is second setup not the first) and I performed a hard reset before connecting it all here. Before here it was setup at my previous house. After that I disabled the wireless and enabled secure shared disks "with device password".
I don't have internet access yet, though I believe this is a problem on the administrator side not mine, but the real problem is that I cannot access the data folder on my time capsule in finder. I've tried erasing the volume, hard resetting and setting up again, I keep getting the same error message:
"The operation can’t be completed because the original item for "Data" can't be found"
Any suggestions?
Regards

If you don't have applecare you will need to pay if you want the genuine article but your problem is familiar and Apple support is likely to say your the first person they have ever heard of with this problem.. even when every second post here refers to it.
Here is my standard list. Work through it and tell me if you succeed.
The cause is Yosemite btw.
A factory reset of the TC is the start.. it is required so you can find it again.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.

Why can't I copy files from Finder to Time Capsule?

I'm trying to do basic copy functions from Finder to Time Capsule and I can't copy/paste or drag/drop any files from my MacBook to TC. The paste function is greyed out. TC is connected and does backups fine from Time Machine. Is there some setting I need to change?

You are trying to add a folder into the network...
You have to click on "shared" in HD then the name of time capsule and a window will open with a folder called "Time Capsule." That window is the network, not the time capsule. You have to click on the "Time Capsule" folder to enter it. You will see a file ending in "arsebundle," that is your backup. You can now add another folder.

Airport Time Capsule Can't Connect to BrightHouse Internet

I have BrightHouse Internet service set up as follows:
1. Coax in
2. Splitter
3. Coax out to ARRIS modem/telephony combo (BrightHouse box) and Motorola Surfboard (BrightHouse box, for high speed access)
4. Cat 5 from Surfboard to Netgear WNR2000 router.
Note: The modem setup and splitter were installed by BrightHouse.
I want to replace my Netgear router with the AirPort Time Capsule (which to this point I have been using only as a backup drive for Time Machine).
Currently, when the AirPort is connected to a LAN port on the Netgear, I get internet to the AirPort (AirPort Utility says so). With this configuration I have the following settings on the AirPort:
1. Network - Off (Bridge Mode)
2. Wireless network - Off (the broadcast conflicted with the wireless signal from my nearby Netgear WiFi)
3. Internet connect using DHCP
4. IPv6 configure automatically
I have tried various settings to get the AirPort connected, but never works. The Airport Congifurations seem OK (green light in AirPort utility), but the Internet connectivity when plugged into the port on the back of either modem is absent (yellow light in AirPort Utility).
I've done all of the obvious stuff (made sure the ethernet cables are plugged into the proper ports, hard reset the Airport Time Capsule, reset both modems (even in very specific order). No luck.
Does anyone know if there is an issue with BrightHouse and AirPorts?

Did you power down the modem and leave it off for at least 20min.. plus or minus.. say try 5min or try overnight.. but all cable services require the modem powered off so you can swap the router. That is because the first device to connect captures the public IP and is registered by MAC address to the ISP system. To get rid of that you need the modem off long enough for dhcp lease to reset..
You also should factory reset the TC to do this. It is really hard to change roles on the TC by simple manual changes. Start afresh. None of your backups will be altered.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
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 of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
After a reset the TC will go back to router default mode.
Everything else on the network will also need rebooting. This is important to change over to the new router.
Tell us how you go.
If you still have issues what model TC running what firmware??

Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

Joe P. wrote:
Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

Can you rename backed up files on time capsule?

Can you rename backed up file on time capsule?

You can rename the sparsebundle file that Time Machine has used for the backups of a Mac on a Time Capsule.....if that is what you are asking......just like you can rename any file on a Mac.

Can I save the stuffs of my iPad in airport time capsule?

Who know if I can save my iPad stuffs to Airport Time Capsule and how? Thanks.

You can change the name on your iPad by going to Settings > General > About > Name
Or you can change it in iTunes by clicking directly on the incorrect name on the left side.
