When trying to set up my time machine I get this message: Airport Utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices. I am connected to the internet. What's the problem?

I'm trying to set up my time capsule. I'm having trouble. Please help

Hi Angela,
Had (and having) the same issue from Windows 7 on my TimeCapsule (TC) ..... Not sure how to fix it but I have a workaround:
1) Make sure you are getting your internet connectivity from the TC instead of your ISP's modem (turn off wifi on the ISP's modem)
2) go to windows menu and type CMD on the search box, that should get you a black screen. Type IPCONFIG and note the numbers on the Gateway (mine is 192.168.1.1)
3) Open Airport utility and go to File > Configure other
4) Type the Gateway from step 2 and your TC password (if you didn't change it, it should be the serial number f your TC, found on the bottom sticker)
5) you should be able to see yout TC settings.
Hope it helps. I had a big headache when setting TC on my Windows laptop.... (but none on my Macbook) :-) Good luck!

I also get this error message on itunes.
I am using Windows Vista. My firmware is totally up to date as is my itunes.
Hopefully Apple can pull their finger out and give us a solution. I haven't been able to burn discs for a long time. Makes me wonder why I have invested in Apple products.

Trying to open an ebook in ADE and getting error message: Error getting license. License server communication problem: E_STREAM_ERROR

what do I do?

What worked for me was to pause my anti-virus (I'm using Kaspersky Pure 3.0) and simply resume after the download was complete but first check the above mentioned by Dominic Michael.
"Please check your internet connection, any proxy or firewall is blocking the communication with the licensing server."

Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
Read C12 in pondini.

C17 can be related I think.

Expect to see this error again due to a bug in Lion (and Mountain Lion).

Hello,
http://pondini.org/TM/C6.html

After a full restore from Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" when trying to go into TM.

I took our iMac in, at the direction of Apple, to have the hard drive replaced. When we got it back, I restored from Time Machine (on Time Capsule). One file on the desktop, a spreadsheet file, has reverted to a version five months old, with the loss of considerable data, so I don't know which files I can now trust. Also, when I try to go into Time Machine, I get "error code -6584" and am unable to access my backups
This is potentially very very bad. What can I do?

Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"

I manually deleted back-ups from Time Machine and now I can't empty the trash

I manually deleted back-ups from Time Machine and now I can't empty the trash.

Using Finder (deleting Time Machine backups) to manage Time Machine files is a mistake. The remedy is somewhat easy, but you will lose all the files on that TM drive.
If there is nothing elese on the Time Machine drive, try reformatting the drive with Disk Utility. This will effectively remove the files from that drive from the trash. If you have files on this drive, temporarily copy the files to another drive, then reformat the TM drive.

HT3275 Time machine cannot backup due to "The backup disk image "/Volume/Data/Dave's Macbook Pro."sparse bundle" is already in use." Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it??

My time machine is sending me a message; "The backup disk image "/Volume/Data/Dave's Macbook Pro "sparse bundle" is already in use". As a result, the time machine cannot complete a backup. Any suggestions?

Look at the more like this column on the right.. this is the most common problem reported here.
You need to restart the TC.. that is all..
Pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in power cord.
There are a few occasions where this fails.. see C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

When back up to time capsule I get the message no access to backupcopyfiledisc/Volume/Data/Terjesumac.sparsebundle ( error-1)

Try #C17 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for known fixes. Works for me as well.
