How can I get my Time Machine to recognize my new Time Capsule?

I have a new Time Capsule and in the initial setup I accidently clicked on the option for not using it with time machine. How do I set it up for time machine backup? Right now the wireless function as router works but time machine does not recognize the Time Capsule for back up.

welcome to the discussion area, Bob !
go system preferences > time machine > change disk. re-select the TM's volume and click +use for backups+.

  • How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    An alternate, and simpler method for most users is to open any Finder window, then look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window.
    When you click on the Time Capsule icon, a folder......named "Data", unless you have changed the name of the drive.....will appear to the right.
    Double-click "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop, where you can now drag/drop or copy/paste data to the drive.
    If the Time Capsule does not appear under the Shared heading when you open a Finder window......then you are likely using the Yosemite operating system on your Mac, and it will take some work to find it.
    In that case, Niel's method might be the better way to go.

  • How can I get my time capsule and airport express (as a network extension) working properly together?

    Hi,
    I bought a time capsule a while back and connected it to my modem, and it seems to be backing up my hard drives but I can't tell if I'm getting my wireless signal from my time capsule or from the modem itself, which used to before I bought the time capsule.
    It's bugging me because I'm trying to get my airport express to work as an extension to my network, and airport utility half the time can't pick up the express. I heard that it will only work of the time capsule is working as the base station,and I'm not 100% sure this is the case.
    Also, how far can the airport express be from my time capsule for it to be picked up? I tried resetting it which helped to start with, but when I was setting it up to extend my network it just told me that there was an error and to try again, which I did with the same result.
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Cheers

    Always do setups with ethernet.. setting up wireless via wireless is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.
    You do not need the TC in the network to do the setup.
    Plug it by itself into the computer. Same with AE. But do each separately.
    Give the TC a different wireless name.. like TC.. then you will know the TC wireless is separate and different to the main modem router. Simply allow it to be extended.
    Plug it back into the main modem.
    Now do the AE.. set it to extend the wireless of the TC.
    When you do this check the signal level. The airport utility v5 has a full diagnostic of wireless client levels.. do not use v6 utility.. it is useless. The AE is placed somewhere in between the TC and the clients you want to connect.. it has to get decent signal itself to extend wireless. And there is no way we can tell you how far apart.. pick the half way point.. around about and suck and see. If it doesn't work move closer to the TC.
    Count the walls the signal is going through.. about 15% signal loss for each one.. if angle is acute 20%.. floors are worse.. they might be 20-25%..

  • How can i get the time capsule to use my mac's mac address

    on some wireless routers you can get the router to use the mac address of a client connected to it instead of it's own.
    Can i do that on the time capsule?

    Sorry, but no. You cannot change (spoof) the MAC address on any of the AirPort/Time Capsule routers.

  • How can I get Internet Accounts/iCloud to recognize my new Apple ID?

    I'm using a 2013 iMAC with most recent Yosemite.  In System Preferences, in Internet Accounts, if I click on iCloud, all accounts are grayed out and it asks for the password to my former Apple ID (which changed yesterday).  If I put my old password in which went with the former ID, it says I can't access my account for security reasons and I need to change my password.  If I put my new password in, same thing. I am unable to access iCloud mail through the Mail app.  I have been to the iTunes store, changed my current password (more than once in this loop) on the Apple site, checked on the iCloud site to be sure it has the current ID and password.

    Hi KaJoHa,
    From what it sounds to me is that you need to verify the old account before you can proceed with signing in with your new account name. If you just changed the account, you will need to change the account back to the old. Once you have done that you can sign out of your account and change the account back to the new one. Take a look at the articles below to walk you through getting that sorted out. Let me know if that works or if you are still stuck.

  • How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again? After upgrading to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.

    How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again?
    After upgrading MBA to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.
    I've searched and can not find a solution to the problem that's being encountered.

    Yeap that all makes sense now.
    Do you only have the current backup showing in the TM display?? Won't it fill in the rest?
    Over wireless are you waiting for the indexing to finish.. ??
    Previous backup may not show for a couple of hours.
    Long short of it.. Mavericks version of TM is a pain.
    Sometimes it is easier to completely ignore the TM backup and do the restore manually.
    I have posted the details here. See if this helps.

  • How can i get current time of a given timezone

    how can i get current time of a given timezone
    for example: Asia/Hong_Kong
    my code is like this, but the result is not correct.
    what's wrong?
    import java.util.*;
    public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
              String s = "Asia/Hong_Kong";
              String tempS = "";
              TimeZone myTime = new SimpleTimeZone(s);
              //TimeZone myTime = TimeZone.getTimeZone(s);
              Calendar myCal = new GregorianCalendar(myTime);
              tempS = myCal.get(Calendar.YEAR)+"-"+
                        (myCal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+"-"+
                        myCal.get(Calendar.DATE)+" "+
                        (myCal.get(Calendar.HOUR)+":"+
                        myCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)+":"+
                        myCal.get(Calendar.SECOND);
              System.out.println(tempS);
    output is : 2001-7-15 11:16:48
    but the correct time should be: 2001-8-16 7:17:48
    the correct time should be 2001-8-16

    Certain indexes in the Calendar API start at 0 rather then 1, so, when you get the value, you may want to increment.
    I'm not sure why the time is incorrect. You may want to call getAvailableIDs() and make sure that the desired TimeZone ID is supported by your version. I doubt that Sun would have incorrect support for the time zone, but it may not be included, or perhaps it is included with a diffrent ID. You can always create your own time zone as well, by passing the String offset to getTimeZone(), the offset being how many hours beyond or before GMT. Hopefully this helps.

    You can create an array of clusters with one element being the time and the other being the voltage, like so (using the "Get Waveform Components" function):

  • How can i get current time in different TimeZone

    Hi alls,
    How can i get current time in different TimeZone.
    I've tried
    final Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(GMT0_TIME_ZONE);
    final Date date = calendar.getTime();
    but it returns current time in my time zone not in GMT0

    a simple way would be:Sometimes gets you the right result (not during daylight saving), but always the wrong way.
    I would strongly recommend getting into the habit of handling Dates correctly. A Date is a universal instant in time - the number of milliseconds since midnight GMT on 1 January 1970. That instant corresponds to various dates and times, depending on your time zone and the effect of daylight saving. You make that conversion of a universal instant to a localized date/time using Calendar and DateFormat.

  • In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

    If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

    I know how can we get current time and date without resultset.i have created this function its working.But now i want to use this.mean using resultset i want to put in the table.
    How can i do this?
    public static String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
    public static String now() {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
    return sdf.format(cal.getTime());

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!
