Flipped on time capsule HD and wireless stopped working
My Time Capsule has been working great. However, I just tried to activate the HD and the wireless stopped working.
Any ideas?
I have a similar but sort of in reverse. I have set up my Mac Air via ethernet and would like to get my PC to do a backup as well to Time Capsule. I have put the airport utility on my PC and it recognizes the TC. How do i tell it to backup since I don't have something like Time Machine on the PC?

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?
You will need to install the printer on your Mac
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location. -
Time capsule, VPN and wireless local printer
I am one of the masses that uses a VPN connection to work from home. Due to certain limitations of Snow Leopards native VPN client, I was forced to go back to a local client. My corporate connection requires tunneling. The net results of this setup are:
1) While connected to VPN, I cannot use my local wireless printer
2) Sometimes the printer will not work even after disconnecting unless I remove it and add it again (Communication error with printer given as cause).
Through some online research there are suggestions out there about configuring "split tunneling" on the wireless router. Since my router is Time Capsule, I am hoping that I might get some answers on this topic here. Is "split tunneling" an option on Time Capsule? Are there any other ideas on resolving this?
Thank you,

Time Capsule: PC and Wireless on different IPs
(Apologies if this has been answered recently, but I've used Search and gone manually through 10-15 pages and didn't see an answer)
I just purchased a Time Capsule and have it successfully setup with my desktop PC via Ethernet cable. I also have a new Macbook Pro 17 and older MBA. The Time Capsule is clearly creating a wireless network which my various Macs can access. The PC can clearly see the Time Capsule as an external hard drive and Internet connectivity is fine.
The problem is that the PC appears to be on a different IP address than my wireless router, meaning that I can't share my iTunes collection across my computers.
How do I get my PC onto the same IP address as the general wireless network created by the Time Capsule?
For background, I'm using a Comcast cable modem with a known fixed IP address, but I was unable to have success using Bridge mode, so I used share a Public IP.
Thanks,
Chris

Time Capsule randomly decides to stop working
Ever since I upgraded my Time Capsule to firmware 7.4.1, it has been acting up. After days (sometimes weeks) of use, all of the sudden I am not connected to the internet anymore. My iMac is plugged directly into the TC and I still get no connection. Airport Utility doesn't even find the TC yet the status light is green. My other wireless devices (Dell Mini 9, iPhone) can find the network but when I try to connect, it times out. The only way to fix the problem is to unplug the TC from its power source and plug it back in. This all started months ago when the new firmware became available. I thought it may be the firmware so I reverted back to the previous version. I never had the disconnecting problem while using the old firmware. But after about a week of using the old firmware, my status light flashes orange telling me the firmware needs to be updated. This doesn't effect my ability to connect to the internet but it does get annoying seeing that light flash. The only way I have found to make the light stop flashing is to reset the TC in Airport Utility.
So I had been using the old firmware up until last week. I was getting tired of resetting the TC over and over so I decided to upgrade the firmware back to the most current version. Everything was working great for about a week until today. The old problem is still there. After some searching on these forums, it does seem that others are experiencing the same issues as i am, yet there doesn't seem to be a definite answer to the problem. Does anyone know why this is happening? Do you think I just have a bad TC? Somebody please help!!I started having the exact same problem this morning. My Time Capsule has dropped off both the wired and wireless LANs twice in the past five hours. Each time when I open the Airport Utility is says the machine is reporting a problem. When I click continue, it cannot find any device (this is from a machine connected directly to the Time Capsule) or a network. When I go back to physically check the device (it's on a high shelf near the center of my house), both the Time Capsule and my DSL modem are showing green lights. If I unplug the Time Capsule, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in, it goes through a normal start-up cycle and then behaves as if nothing has happened. This is extremely annoying in a device that I've only had for 54 weeks.

Now today, after a reboot, my wireless card won't activate (I normally run on wired, but I needed to hook my printer up and its wireless) and the system locks up and freezes at random times (it just stops...the display displays everything as normal except nothing responds. there are no log messages in everything.log about it).
I have determined that the wireless problem probably came from the firmware update since when I tried to start the wireless card it said:
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request firmware
My wireless shows up in lspci as an Ralink Corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI which is correct.
How do I go about troubleshooting these issues? I am very new to Arch Linux (it's been a week or so now) so I think this will probably be a handy skill to have.Looking at my currently loaded modules (using lsmod) it would seem that my wireless driver is loaded at the module level:
rt2800pci 9681 0
rt2800lib 43247 1 rt2800pci
rt2x00pci 5050 1 rt2800pci
rt2x00lib 35928 3 rt2x00pci,rt2800lib,rt2800pci

cfg80211 170074 2 mac80211,rt2x00lib
I also found some handy output from dmesg:

Since the firmware for this update just came out on the 27th is it possible something made its way in there and broke this? I can't seem to find anyone else who has had this problem and from all appearances it looks like it should be working (and it used to work quite well).
EDIT: One thing I am not sure about is that the firmware is in the firmware directory. Here are all the rt* firmwares. Is this correct or should there be an rt2x00 firmware in there?

I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem. I started the initial backup. It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)." Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?
Thanks,

oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983 -
Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. Wireless stops working with no light showing and Link indicator on modem off.
All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in.
TC cycles up and green light appears as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly.
TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?I have the latest and greatest Time Capsule and Comcast. Here is the weird thing. If I have one network set up, then occasionally that network will wedge. If I set up a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz network, then one of them (usually the 5GHz) will wedge. I saw this with a previous Time Capsule, Apple said call Comcast. They checked it out and said it was Apple's problem. Apple said maybe you Time Capsule is bad, so I bought a new one. The problem persists.
Tonight it's not complely wedged, but super slow. The 5GHz network is getting 0.45Mb/s while the 2.4GHz network is getting 17Mb/s. Both are coming in from the same Comcast cable modem. Apparently the Time Capsule treats them as separate.
Is it the cable modem or the Time Capsule. I am betting on the Time Capsule, since rebooting it fixes the problem. Resetting the cable modem does not.
Apple is NO HELP at all. They say reset the Time Capsule. Did that fix it? Yes. Problem solved! No, problem not solved. It will happen again in a few hours.
Here's the traceroute. Note what happens a few hops away. At hop number 7 the ping times go up by a factor of 200.

Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?
I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
Not sure what you mean here.
A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive. You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks. -
I have a 1 TB Time Capsule on a wireless network with my iMac and my wife's MacBook Pro. The TC is almost full. What is the best way/device to increase storage capacity?
Replace the Time Capsule with one that has a larger hard drive. Or erase the one you have and start a new set of backups or backup one of the computers to a different backup drive.
-
Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?
can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.
Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router. -
Time Capsule not producing wireless signal
We have a time capsule serving as our main wireless for the house and it recently stopped producing a wireless signal and has a solid amber light. I've tried leaving it unplugged and I've tried resetting the device. Neither of those plans had any effect at all. How can I fix this?
I believe my wife bought this in 09 and its got a 2 TB hard drive. Not sure which version that makes this.Unfortunately, a solid amber is light is not a good sign.
Try a complete Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule using the steps below. This procedure will not affect any of the data that you have stored on the internal hard drive.
Power off the Time Capsule for 15-20 minutes or longer
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule first, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the 9-10 hold period and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
The Time Capsule light should normally stay solid amber for about 30 seconds and then change to a slow, blinking amber light, indicating that the Time Capsule has been reset and it can now be reconfigured.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and the light stays solid amber, unfortunately the hard drive has failed, or there is an internal power supply issue with the Time Capsule.
You should take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store.....if you have one in your area.....or contact Apple Support directly to discuss your options.

If the Time Capsule is out of warranty or not covered by AppleCare, Apple will not offer repairs but there are some shops that specialize in this type of repair. See this link for more details:

Time capsule with USB printer stop to work.
Two months ago, I installed a brand new Time Capsule 2T. Initial configuration went without any issue.I installed an HP wireless printer and a second HP Laserjet to the USB port on time capsule. Everything was working well and suddenly the printer hooked on USB port stop working. Print job remains in the queue and nothing happens even using my MBP or using a PC connected to Time Capsule. The wireless printer is still working fine. So, I did a soft reset by pressing the button at the back of Time Capsule but it doesn't solve the problem. Both MBP and PC cannot connect to USB printer. The only way to recover printing capability is to unplug power on Time Capsule and re-plug it. In this case, MBP and PC could print. I don't know when this issue begins and I cannot predict when printing capability issue on USB printer will occur. I'm pretty sure this a Time Capsule issue or OS issue.
Couple things I tried:
- Uninstalled printer and re-added
- All drivers are up-to-date
- Time Capsule firmware is up-to-date
- MBP running OS X Mountain Lion with latest patches
- PC Windows Vista Ultimate with latest patches.
Any idea what could cause this?The only way to recover printing capability is to unplug power on Time Capsule and re-plug it. In this case, MBP and PC could print. I don't know when this issue begins and I cannot predict when printing capability issue on USB printer will occur. I'm pretty sure this a Time Capsule issue or OS issue.
Yes, your solution of the power cycle of the TC shows that this is caused solely by the poor networking ability of the TC. There is a flaw in the firmware that is causing the issue. The issue affects a number of things.. yours is just one example of it.
There is no solution. I cannot even give you a true work around using just the TC..
Best solution is of course to get a network printer.. usb is seldom designed for network usage. You can purchase an ethernet to USB print server but the cost of the item would be half the cost of the new printer. And useless item into the future. So consider carefully.. maybe time for a new printer.
In the TC do the following.
1. Reduce the firmware to 7.6.1 if you recently installed latest 7.6.3 that could be some of the issue.. it has proven less than great update. Hold down option key when you select firmware and you can downgrade.
2. Factory reset after you do 1. or do it anyway if you want to stick to the latest klugde firmware. But clean up the old settings by using new setup.
3. Use all names that comply to windows standard.
Short,, 10-20 characters should be plenty.. less than 10 also good.
No spaces..
Pure alphanumeric.
4. If the TC is set to main router, set the dhcp server to much shorter lease time. I suggest even 20min. The increase in network traffic for dhcp renewal will be tiny.. but it will keep ARP tables updated better than the full day used by default.
5. From the windows side make sure the TC is set to the correct workgroup under file sharing.. generally WORKGROUP.
6. If you still have issues.. and I think you may mitigate the problem but not resolve it doing the above.. a nightly auto reboot from an electrical timer.. crude but we have done such things before to fix crummy domestic level router to make them reliable. -
Time capsule drive and external drive won't wake up
I have a time capsule purchased in August (2TB) and a 2 TB WD MyBook external drive plugged into the usb slot on the time capsule. Given my computer is a laptop, it is nice to be able to put the external drive somewhere where it doesn't have to be plugged and unplugged with laptop use. The WD external drive houses my itunes library and is pretty sensitive and loses data whenever not powered down cleanly.
The problem:
Time Capsule drive and WD drive seem to go away and not allow me to access them no matter what I try. The only way to get them responding is to pull the power plug on the time capsule and power back on. This needs to occur each time I want to access either drive. When attempting to connect via finder I get connection failed errors.
I have no connectivity problems with airport. Access to network is fine, so I know the TC is not totally dead, just the part that lets me access the hard drives. It is interesting that time machine appears to be able to access the drive on the tc without problem but I'm not sure how confident I am that this is true just because it is telling me so.
Any suggestions? anyone else seeing this?I am having this issue as well.
The behavior seems to be that the drives are available after a reboot and for some time afterwards. Then at some indeterminate time, the drives become unavailable. The Time Machine backups stop with a "Backup Delayed" message and I have to go to the Time Capsule and reboot it by removing the power and re-inserting it.
When the drives are unavailable, the wireless router functions are still active since I use this router as my gateway to the internet. -
I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?
What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.
