Downgrading Time Capsule firmware versions for OS X 10.6.8

I have a first generation Time capsule and I recently installed firmware version 7.6.4. Following the update there have been various problems with my network. I presume the problems were caused because I am running OS X 10.6.8 and the particular version requires OS X 10.7.5 or later. I know how to retrieve the previous version but I forget the number and I can't seem to find it in the various discussions. Any suggestions? Thanks

The one I find best with Snow Leopard is 7.5.2
Although some people suggested 7.5.1 .. anyhow either of those two should fix you up.
In v5 utility. Select upload firmware.
It will show upgrades but not downgrades.
Hold down the option key and click the available versions.
Proceed with the downgrade.

AirPort Time Capsule (firmware v7.7.3) has slow wifi connection to new Surface Pro 3

I got a new Surface Pro 3 i7. I have all the updates for it. I ran into a problem that many others also ran into which was very slow WiFi performance. I utilized many troubleshooting methods and sources and I am currently inclined to believe this... the new Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller drivers are not compatible with my Airport Time Capsule firmware version 7.7.3.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there another firmware version that works (older or newer)?
Details:
I tried all kinds of things, like changing the network drivers on the SP3 to many different versions. Many of the help forums recommended using the drivers dated 4/24/2014. This did seem to help, but not reliably. What I discovered is... if I connect using the SP3 WiFi to my network extension Airport Express on version 7.6.4, I reliably get 20-22 mbps (which is the best I can expect from my network and works great for my needs). But, when I connect to my primary network Airport Time Capsule, the best I can get is 1.5 mbps, but usually between .15 and .9 mbps. It's completely unusable in today's internet environment. At the same time, I used my iPhone and the Airport Utility to verify the connections. I used SpeedTest.net on my MacBook, iPad, iPhone and Win8.1 HP laptop to verify that every other device was getting the 20+mbps. And they did. Only the Surface Pro 3 couldn't perform when using WiFi through the Airport Time Capsule. The SP3 does achieve 20+ mbps like all my other devices, but only when connected to the Airport Express.
The articles I read said that the network drivers on the SP3 seem to require the routers to be updated to the latest versions. Both the Airport Time Capsule and the Airport Express seem to be updated. When I go into their settings using the Airport Utility, there are no updates available.
Of course this problem isn't replicated at the Microsoft store since they don't have apple routers. So, their response is to upgrade the routers. Extremely unhelpful when the Apple software is saying it is upgraded already. I can't believe this new Airport Time Capsule has to be retired because it isn't playing well with others, and I love the automatic backup it is providing for my MacBook. So, somehow, I need the Airport Time Capsule to work with the new WiFi card & drivers on my SP3, just like the SP3 is working properly with the Airport Express.

Thanks for your input!
1. No downgrade. Bummer, but understandable.
2. Completely agree!!! I did too and then I had to redo it because I couldn't install a driver. I had to start all over and reinstall Win 8 then Win 8.1 over it. It was a colossal waste of time and endless frustration. If I can just get it modestly working, I'll take it. It doesn't have to be perfect right now.
3. Great suggestion! And the Microsoft forums are also a buzz. One suggestion I tried (and it seems to be working) is to set a separate wireless network name for the 5ghz band. I haven't thoroughly tested it yet, but I'm hopeful. I t seems to have worked for some, but not others. The next thing I'll try is fixing the channel, but strangely, I didn't see that option in the AirPort Utility app on my iPhone. Is it only available through Mac/PC laptop/desktop software?
4. Yup. Sigh. I actually have an old linksys. I retired it when I went 100% apple. I was hoping that things would work smoother. And they did! Until this SP3 came into my life. Arg.
And and a few more details...
the AirPort Time Capsule is 802.11ac
the AirPort Express is 802.11n (2nd gen)
I'm wondering if it is the AC connection that is the issue. Maybe since the Express always connects with n, it is OK....
Nope. Just tested the SP3 again and it is maintaining it's connection to the AirPort Time Capsule utiling the 802.11a/n/ac mode and connecting to the 5Ghz special network name. So far so good... Fingers crossed...

Downgrading to 7.3.1 fixes time capsule firmware problem

Just in case some of you folks are still suffering with from time capsule firmware upgrade this post worked for me. First reset the time capsule by pushing the little button in the back for longer than 5 seconds. I also reinstalled the original tC software from the original disc.
open AirPort Utilities
2) select TC
3) select "configure manually"
4) to the right you'll see a popup menu with the current firmware 7.3.2
5) click this menu and select 7.3.1
6) go through all the following OKs etc., reboot TC and you're done

I upgraded to 7.3.2 and my wireless keeps coming and going on my Mac Book pro, with my old Mac Book it works like charm. When I switch to 802.11n only (5GHz) it works like charm on my Mac Book pro, but not with my old Mac Book apparently.
Where can I find the old 7.3.1 firmware. In the dropdown menu of Airport Utility there's only 7.3.2, but no 7.3.1. The download on the support site http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/timecapsuleandairportbasestation80211nfir mware731.htmldoesn't work, it says there's a newer version installed.
Where can I get only the 7.3.1 firmware, so that I can downgrade?

I want to know my previous ios firmware version for iphone 4s because now I am using latest ios version 7.2 and I want to downgrade it but I don't know the previous version exactly for iphone 4 s

I want to know my previous ios firmware version for iphone 4s because now I am using latest ios version 7.2 and I want to downgrade it but I don't know the previous version exactly for iphone 4 s

The iOS is 6.1.3, problem is Apple will not sign the file through iTunes to install it on the iPhone 4S.

Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.5.1 - Where's "download" on support page?

Hey there -
There is no "download" button available on the apple.com/support page for the latest Firmware Update (7.5.1) for the Time Capsule.
Wouldn't care if my device would automatically bring in the update. But, it won't. It's still sitting with the 7.4.2 firmware version.
Any ideas how to get the Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.5.1 to download?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
According to this Apple Web page
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL965
that update is "for the latest Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme Base Station (Late 2009)". If in AirPort Utility the menu item AirPort Utility -> Check for Updates results in the message "No updates to AirPort Utility or any of your AirPort wireless devices are available at this time" (which is the case for the Time Capsule I bought in August of last year), then it would seen that update doesn't apply to your Time Capsule.

I've updated Time Capsule firmware and now can't print wirelessly

I have recently updated my Time Capsule to Firmware 7.6.2 and now my computer no longer sees my Brother MFC9320-CW either wirelessly or via ethernet. I am able to hook the printer up to the Time Capsule's USB port and print in that way.
The printer does not retrive a DHCP address either wired or wirelessly, and when I set it staticly, it still does not respond to a ping. I hope I'm barking up the right tree here, as the firmware update on the time capsule is the only thing I can think of (aside from a network card failure on the printer, which its diagnostics insist is not the case) that is causing this.
My next step will be to set up a test WiFi network with a third-party router to remove the printer (network card failure option) from the equation.

To Downgrade Your Time Capsule Firmware:
Open Airport Utility: Applications → Utilities → Airport Utility
Find your device in the left-hand column and select the “Manual Setup” button
In the “Summary” window that pops up click on the word “Version”
In the pop up box that comes up next to the “Upload Version” select the previous version
Click “OK”
Your Time Capsule will restart and be as good as new!

Finding firmware version for HBA card

Does anybody knows a command in solaris 9 to display firmware version for HBA cards or other pci cards currently in system

I've not heard of a way of reading add-on card firmware levels from the OBP...
However, you might be lucky insofar that the firmware levels get displayed at boot time. Emulex cards always do this as one of the very first things that pass on the screen after powering up.

it may be important to note that when I put my ear to the box I can still hear the HD spinning (although no lights are lit and it doesn't show in the airport utility). Ideas??
That is very bad.. how old is it??
The Gen4 TC can die this way.. it is not usual but it happens.
Leave it for several hours to cool off. Do a factory reset immediately when you try to restart it.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
Tell me exactly what the LEDs do throughout this process.
Both the main one at the front and the LED on the ethernet ports which should all flash during bootup.
If it is less than a year.. of course Apple will replace under warranty.. 2 years in some places.. Europe .. places with stronger consumer laws. If you have applecare on a computer it should still cover the TC.
I kind of doubt you are going to get this going again... but we can try.

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

I just purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. I live in Italy and have 220V power. The Time Capsule is rated for that, but the cord says 125V. Can I use this cord with an adapter, or do I need to buy a new cord at an Italian store?

Due to the kind of plug used the US power cord is rated at the 125v value.. and legally we cannot advise you to use on higher voltages.. although I have never had issues in Australia.. 240v.
But adapters from your Euro power plug to US are generally ugly .. unsightly things.. and often sit high above the socket and are none too stable.. I agree with Bob.. just go out and buy a standard figure 8 power cord.. check with Apple in Italy for a white one.. if you are going to have it on show.. black are far more common. Or even check ebay for a standard power Apple power cord as a number of items they sell use the figure8 socket.

What is a maximum remoteness between time capsule and device for having a good wifi signal?

What is a maximum remoteness between time capsule and device for having a good wifi signal?

In open air.. line of sight you should work very well over 100M and most likely still work at 200M.
Unfortunately in houses.. there is almost no way to tell. But you can assume signal on 5ghz will dimish very rapidly.. 2 or 3 walls/floors/major obstacles and nothing left.. 2.4ghz should manage your whole house but you might find signal in far corners unusable. Count the number of walls, floors/ceilings it is going through in a straight path, router to client. You can think of it as a 4" pipe.. and even the angles are important.. if it hits a wall made of brick at acute angle it is twice as thick as hitting it dead on. Mirrors, tinted glass are metal reflectors.. reinforced concrete is both a reflector with metal bars and absorber with concrete.. add a bit of moisture content and it is a great block.

What was the last firmware version for the Zen Micro before M

I would like to know what was the last firmware version for the Zen Micro before the MTP firmware?
Please make sure you are 00% on this.
Thankyou.

I think it does, but I'm not sure; since I wanted MTP, I only used .x firmware long enough to save the original Creative test files (with MediaSource, not ZMME) before upgrading to 2.x. And yes, I had to li've with 2..02's shorter battery life until 2.20.05 came out.
May I ask why you want to go back to .x firmware? The only thing that will get you is the ability to use it with Win98SE/2000/Me--but only if you can install Creative drivers on every PC you use it with. MTP requires WinXP SP or 2 and WMP 0, but doesn't need any Creative software at all to work. (Microsoft has made an MTP driver for Win98SE/2000/Me, but it requires customization and may not be supported by other software. I'm tinkering a bit with the customization part right now.)
There are other pitfalls in changing Micro firmware families, in either direction--you'll lose all the files on your Micro, you'll have to install a different ZMME (and I've heard non-MTP ZMME isn't quite as full-featured as MTP ZMME), and you'll need a new plug-in for MediaSource to work.

Transfer from time capsule frozen - shows for part 15 hours: 2 min remaining transferring your applications folder...help!!!

Hang in there for another few hours to see if the transfer will complete. Check with the Apple guys again if no progress.
If you find that you need to repeat the process due to errors, I would strongly recommend an ethernet connection from the TC to the computer to greatly speed the process and minimize chances for errors and interruptions.
