How to set up 2 networks so wi-fi radio works again (w/Time Capsule)??
I gave my husband a wi-fi internet radio for Christmas - his favorite present ever. Then, I bought a Time Capsule to handle my MacBook Air back up and the radio won't work with "N" network! I wrote to the radio's Danish maker and they informed me that they don't make it to work with an N network because N networks aren't in use yet!!! (Well, maybe in Denmark, but here in Apple-loving America, they are!)
Solutions? Could I reinstall my old router on some type of hub or switch and run 2 networks in my house???
I will give a big virtual prize to anyone that can help on this problem - it will make my husband so happy to have his French radio stations working again!

I needed to create a second wireless network (g-network), separate from my n-network to allow my iPhone and HP notebook to connect to a g-network. This is what I did:
Time Capsule connected via ethernet to cable modem. TC is broadcasting a wireless N-5GHz signal for my Mac's to connect to.
Airport express connected via ethernet to the TC and set up in "Bridge Mode." The Airport Express is configured to broadcast a wireless n signal with b/g compatibility to allow iPhone and HP to connect to.
Both wireless networks work great. I also have another Airport Express set up as a client to the b/g network to allow streaming of iTunes music. Again, all works great.
Hope this helps!!!

How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver
How to set up Guest Network, while Airport Extreme is connected to Satellite Receiver?
Depending on how you have your AirPort Extreme configured to work with the satellite receiver, it may or may not be possible to enable the Guest Network function.
We will need to check some settings on your Mac or PC, but in order to do that, we need to know what operating system you are using on your computer.
If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there. -

How do I set up OpenDNS to work with my Time Capsule running 7.7.3 in Bridge Mode?
How do I set up OpenDNS to work with my Time Capsule running 7.7.3 in Bridge Mode?
Set up your "main" router to use the OpenDNS servers, and the Time Capsule will automatically pick up those settings. No configuration is needed on the Time Capsule.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?
Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?
Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
Do one of the following:
USB
Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Wireless
Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
Ethernet
Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
Do one of the following:
If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ. -
grandaughter has locked i pad 2 with passcode and then forgotten number how do you reset i pad to get it to work again
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New. -
I'm a beginner with iMovie and my hard drive is filling up fast. How do I move the event files from the hard drive to my time capsule?
you should never (ab)use a designated backup-setup for 'ordinairy' storage tasks.
plus, the wireless connection to TC is too slow for iMovie.
purchase any ext. usb-harddrive, 500Gigs starting at 50$ ...

Can someone please just tell me how to set up a network?
Okay so here is the problem. I have an iMac G4 and I am getting a new intel one. I have an airport connected to a 2wire gateway. I would like to setup a network for file sharing, printer sharing, the works. I don't care about using the airport extreme but I just want to be able to find a step by step process on how to do this. I cannot find this information anywhere. I feel like it is something I know how to do that I just forgot so sorry if this is a stupid question that is posted everywhere but can someone please just tell me how to set it up? Oh yea, I also wanted to use this network to migrate my old mac to my new mac. Thanks.

Setting up a local Ethernet network
Equipment needed:
Cable/DSL modem: usually supplied by the ISP
Gateway/Router: at least a 4-port router, but you can get them with more ports if you need them. (Alternatively, you can get a switching hub to provide additional ports.)
CAT 5 Ethernet cables: one cable is needed for each device connected to the router plus one to connect the router to the cable/DSL modem.
1. Connect the Cable/DSL modem to the router's WAN port using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5 for 10/100.)
2. Connect each computer to the router's LAN ports using Ethernet cables. If you have network printers, etc. connect them to a LAN port on the router. If the router doesn't have enough ports, then you will need to purchase one with more ports or connect a switching hub to the router.
3. Now, for each Mac open its Network preference pane. Select the Built-in Ethernet port for configuration. In the TCP/IP configuration window set the connection/configuration to DHCP from the dropdown menu. Set your Location dropdown menu to Automatic and the Show dropdown menu to Built-in Ethernet.
4. Shut everything off. First, turn on the Cable/DSL modem and wait for the connect lights to indicate it has connected to the ISP. Next, turn on the router and wait to see if the Cable/DSL modem's communication status light starts to flicker. Also, if there is a status light on the router it should show a connection. Last, power up the computer. If all is well the TCP/IP control panel or Network pref pane should indicate an IP has been obtained from the router, usually in the 192.168.nnn.nnn range. If it's 169.xxx.xxx.xxx then you don't really have a connection.
5. If you have network printers connected each printer will have to be assigned its own unique IP address in the router's address range (usually 192.168.nnn.nnn.) Assign the printer(s) IP addresses above the number of computers that will be connected but within the router's DHCP address assignment range. Consult the router's documentation for that information. Consult the printer manual for how to assign an IP address to the printer. When you install the printer driver and/or Add the printer you will add it as an IP printer or LPR printer and use the IP address you assigned to the printer.
Most of this information can also be found by selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching on the appropriate term, e.g., sharing, network, printing. -

I Have two Time Capsules (1TB and 2TB) and want to set one for business and the other for family - networking seperate Macs to each.
Both should be plugged into the network with ethernet.. if at all possible.
If you have a router already then both bridged otherwise one set to router and one to bridge.
How do you access the TC? Ethernet or wireless?
Are they located in the same area?
You could set different wireless networks.. if they use wireless.. this is nice easy way to do it.
You can set user account in the TC you want the business one to join with.. that will prevent access by the family.
So there is a number of ways.. none are particularly secure btw.. the TC is a home not a business device.. if anybody wants access they press the reset for one second.. pofff all the passwords are default for 5min.. to allow people who forget their password to get access.
On ML you can encrypt TM backups.. this is better for security if that is the problem.. and still use different user profile to prevent access. -
I got a network printer connected to a Time Capsule which extends my wireless home network. But I can't manage to find out it's IP address nor i manage to find it on the network ! Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way to tell Time Capsule which is the IP of the network printer ?
Hope somebody can help me out !Most printers can print their status page.. on the status page is the current IP. I personally don't buy network printers that don't have a small LCD with enough menu to set things like IP address. And reveal the current IP.
Is the printer set to dhcp? If so it will get an IP from the TC.
Apple removed useful aspects of the old v5 utility which would give you a listing off all IP addresses passed out by the TC or connected to it.
You can however do a netstat scan from your computer.
In finder type in network utility into the search (apple have hidden it in a stupidly obscure location)
In network utility run a netstat scan which should pick up the printer.
One aspect of this, is that if the printer is in a deep sleep, power saving mode.. you may not pick it up.. certainly you should make sure the printer is awake and ready to run.. even if you need to reboot it.
There will be a problem if the printer is manually set to the wrong IP range.. then it won't come up at all. To fix that you will need to actually read the printer manual.. and find out how to reset it to its defaults and start again. -
Hy ,
My mac pro (SL 10.6.8) wakes up every minutes when I use wake on lan and I share one of my Hard Drive.
When I unplug the ethernet cable it doesn't wake any more so I suppose that some thing wakes it up on my network ( 1 printer canon MP620, 2 mac books, 2 iPads, 2 IPhones and 2 time capsules !) ...even when all these devices are "sleeping"
Any idea?
THKS
Phil
PS .: I'm french so my english is probably quite strange ! ... Sorry for thatSorry - posted this in the wrong forum. Reposted in Mac Pro.

I'll be damned if I can figure this out. I have a new late-2012 iMac (OS 10.8.3) connecting to my LAN via Airport wi-fi. (It will be Ethernet-connected, as soon as a hole is drilled into my new work table, but right now the Ethernet cable doesn't reach.) My wife uses a 2011 MacBook Air.
The LAN consists of a flying-saucer-looking Airport Extreme connected by Ethernet to the modem, plus 2 old Airport Expresses. I have an Ethernet switch too, through which I've got a TV connected and a printer connected.
I bought a 4th-generation Time Capsule about a year ago, but couldn't figure out for the life of me how to replace the Airport Extreme with it. I became so incredibly frustrated that I hid it away in a closet until now. I just tried again, with the same results. I've got both Airport Utility 5.6 (to use with the old Extreme and Expresses) and Airport Utility 6.2. I was using version 6.2 to set up the Time Capsule... or to try to. Once again, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it! I tried so many different Ethernet wiring connections that I now cannot remember them well enough to describe them here.
I distinctly remember that, when I tried this a year ago with my wife's MacBook Air and Airport Utility 6.2, I was presented at one point with the question whether I wanted to replace an existing base station with the Time Capsule I was trying to set up, but this time I never was presented with that option.
Is there anyone who can, in essence, hold my hand and walk me through this process step-by-step? At this point I even need to be instructed what to wire to what. I feel like a total incompetent.
My MOST sincere thanks in advance for help!
(I hope Time Capsule is the correct forum for this question. I considered the Airport forum as well, but I don't want to cross-post.)
(And, just to complicate matters, after I get this done-- assuming I ever do-- I want to use the old Airport Extreme on the outside of the house to extend the range of my LAN to the back yard... but that's for another day entirely.)apikoros wrote:
The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together. -
I have a Cisco System3 modem, feeding an Airport Extreme, which connects wirelessly a Timecapsules and an Airport Express both of which extend the network, ie send out more WiFi signal. The system worked well for a long time, say a year and a half and then it started dropping out. All the lights on the modem and airport Extreme stay green, but the other two components are blinking yellow. I've tried limiting the channels, but there are few sources in my neighborhood. I have tried resetting the Extreme which worked for a week and now it's back to its random disconnect behavior. I have read some of these blogs and no one seems to know what to do, especially not Apple. Do I just get another router or what? What do I lose if I use a non Apple router and what would you suggest?
Welcome to the discussion area, Junkcanoe!
I don't have a setup like yours, but might be able to offer some assistance.
Basically I have two jacks, a TC and an AE and I'd like to create a roaming network. Both of them are set to bridge mode with the same SSID, WPA2 security, same password, etc.
This would be the normal way to set up a roaming network, but the wild card here is that we don't know anything about how the main router that supplies the ethernet connections (valid IP addresses) to the condos might be configured.
For example, most apartments, hotels, etc that provide ethernet jacks usually limit the number of devices that can connect to each jack. Hotels tend to limit this to one or two devices. I counted six devices that you say will work properly plus a few more. Since you have two separate ethernet jacks, you may be looking at a situation where each jack is allocated a total of 4 devices, or valid IP addresses.
The bottom line here is that we won't be able to make much progress until we know more how the main router there has been configured. Is it possible for you to ask the complex manager (who will probably need to ask the IT guy) how many devices are allowed to connect per ethernet jack? Another way to ask the same question is how may valid IP addresses will each ethernet jack allow?
If you can, could I ask you to perform an experiment? Rather than have both the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule each connect to a separate ethernet jack, can you temporarily move one device near the other and connect them together using an ethernet cable? (Or, use a long ethernet cable if you don't want to move either device) LAN <-> port on one to LAN <-> port on the other. In other words, you'll only be using one of the ethernet ports in the condo for this experiment.
Any difference in performance or number of devices allowed to connect?
