HT4628 Airport on Mac is searching for Wi-Fi from Time capsule. I can get into my back-up, but internet. Modem is fine( I can get online with Ethernet cable). I was told it is a difference in IP addresses ( outgoing from modem and streaming from capsule).
What might be a problem with IP addresses? I did contact Time Warner Cable about my service, there is no problems at the modem until it gets to Time Capsule. I have everything in the house running off of wireless, now nether asset is working. I was able to connect to Time Capsule wirelessly, but Internet is no go. Any ideas? Thank you!
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule) (Note: Performing this type of reset will NOT affect any data stored on the Time Capsule's internal HDD.)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Bought 4th Gen 3TB TC - streaming TV over the internet is now so slow and now is constantly buffering. It seems the Airport Utility is always 'searching for new networks' - don't know if this is the problem. It's not the internet speed as checked that. I took my old router upstairs and was streaming TV via my ipad seamlessly - the same program via the TC was constantly buffering.
I just expected to be able to plug in the TC, so a simple set-up and experience wireless both upstairs and downstairs in my house. For some reason the range is low and speed veru disappointing.
I am far from being an IT expert but I would welcome advice about setting up this TC so we can enjoy the product as it was designed. Please HELP!No silver bullet........but my suggestions may drive you in the right direction.
1. Unplug the power cable from the TC and wait 10-15 minutes before powering back up. Seriously wait!
Proceed to #2 if this dosen't help.
2. Unplug the power cable from the TC, ubplug the power cable from your Broadband Modem (assuming it's a cable modem), disconnect ethernet, and cable from modem.
2a. Wait 10-15 minutes then re-connect cable, ethernet, and power back to modem (your modem should power up unless you have a power switch) wait for all the modem lights to come on EXCEPT activity.
2b. Connect ethernet from modem to TC, and plug in the power cable to TC.
Proceed to #3 if this dosen't help.
3. Reconfigure the TC.........Read here........http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
All really simple to do....if you need additional help let me (us) know. -
I just bought Lion from the app store and I was wondering how long it will be there for because you can't buy a hard copy of it and I was told they were fazing it out so if my computer crashes and I need to install it again will it still be there??
FWIW, your profile shows that you are already on Lion - did you buy Mountain Lion?
If you purchase an OS from the Mac App Store, it will be listed under your Purchases and will be available to download again if you need it. Note: the license is only for you and is not transferable; if you sell your Mac, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system.
If you did buy Lion - out of curiosity - since it is no longer showing in the app store, how did you buy it there? Or did you call Apple and they sent you a redemption code? -

"searching" for signal, all the time now. . .
so lately i've been noticing my iphone is constantly "searching" for signal in places were i used to get 3GS signal/service (full bars) all the time. now, i was ready to blame at&t outright, but lately whenever this happens i've been "reseting" the phone (home + sleep buttons) and after the reset i get full 3GS service again.
why is this happening? is this an at&t issue, or an iphone hardware issue? why do i have to reset the phone to get a signal?Thanks for your suggestion but I tried that (several times) as well as restoring from backup and restore as to a new iPhone. I have switched off, removed sim, in fact everything that has been suggested by every support person I have spoken to at O2 and Apple. They seem to concur it is a network issue not the phone so I am going to buy an O2 sim today and take it with me to France tomorrow when I go home. I will try to use another phone (not iPhone) with O2 to see if it connects and also try to use my own sim from the iPhone in another phone. This will at least prove where the problem lies - though it will not resolve it of course. I am expecting to find it is the phone, not the network. I'll report back after the test.

I have a iphone 5. How do I search for a event from 2013 under search? I do have "all events" selected
I would check, but I believe I have read that the calendar only lets you search back in the current year. You might find additional information about that in the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
What happens if you go back to a month in 2013, do you see a date with any events in it? I'm not saying the calendar is deleting data, just that you cannot search earlier than the current year. -

For some reason every time I try to open iPhoto, it opens it but immediately it frozen. I can no do anything or see any of my pictures. How can I fix it? without erasing any of my pictures.
What version of iPhoto?
A. iPhoto '11. Version 9.4.2 (710.42)
What version of the Operating System?
A.Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
What was I doing when the problem arose?
A. I was uploading some pictures from my camera to my Mac then I closed it. next time tried to open it and it went right to the way that the pictire before shows.
Did it ever work properly?
A. It had some details; like taking a lot of time to send a picture from iPhoto to an e-mail or not send it at all.
What steps have I tried already to solve the issue?
A. None, I havent wanted to do anything to fix it because I'm afraid I could somehow delete my pictures. I know the pictures still there; because, they are on my screen saver changing and changing.
I also want to know if there is any other way for me to see my pictures other than trought iPhoto? -
Can you connect an ethernet cable to an Airport Express Extension?
I have an Airport Express that I am using as an extension to my current home wireless network.
That is successful and I have a green light. I am trying to plug in an ethernet cable to allow an older mac without an airport card to connect to that Airport Express Extension. When I turn off the airport and select Ethernet Cable, I am told that the cable is not connected to the internet. The wireless works fine and I can get full bars in the far part of my house - but I do not get internet when connecting an Ethernet cable.
Help!
Thanks in advanceSee my reply to your other post.

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".
Mac Book Pro - 3.1-15-inch 2.4/2.2GHz), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Operating system : OS X 10.10.1
Time Machine Version 1.3, Copyright 2007-2014 Apple Inc., Modified Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:03 PM
Time Capsule: 500 GB C 2007
This Time Machine software worked satisfactory until Monday Nov, 10 2014 and I have backups until that time. For several years, the software deleted the oldest back up to save the latest one. This is acceptable to me as I have off site storage that is updated every 3 months. How do I get Time machine working again?I have spent a couple of days trying to respond to Linc Davis. Finally I figured it out . The following is a copy of data from my console from the initiation of a time machine backup until it gets stuck trying to calculate the time remaining. There is no indication that anything starts saving. I copied about 3 minutes of data. This is probably way too much data, but I do not know what is relevant.
Thanks for the help,

In need to change from appleshare to mac os journaled disk format on my time capsule. How to proceed?
No Time Capsule disk can be formatted other than the automatic system in the TC itself.. You simply select erase and it will reformat the drive.
If you are referring to a USB drive.. plugged into a Time Capsule.. you must plug it into your Mac and use Disk Utility.
However you do need to understand.. appleshare is not a disk format.. it is a partition scheme.. so when you pick the disk you need to change its partition to GUID.. this is nothing to do with Mac OS journaled format.. the two are distinctly different. Also Appleshare works fine for most people.. there really is no need to change.
Anyway here is how to do it.
I have sd card I can use as example. Click on the Partition Layout.. so you can choose something else.. notice it is presently set to Master Boot Record.. but is formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled.
When you change the partition layout Options at the bottom will become active and you can change the setting. Click Options.
Choose whichever. GUID is the current system for boot drives.
None of this is relevant to the internal disk of the Time Capsule. -
Backing up older macs earlier than v10.5.7 on Time Capsule?
Is it possible to back up an older mac earlier than Mac OS X v10.5.7 onto the time capsule? And if so, how?
As in USB to USB and then the mac will recognise it as an external harddrive?
Nope.. USB cannot use a TC as external..TC is now and forevermore a network drive. If you want a USB drive go and buy one.. do it.. do it now.. they are cheap, fast and reliable.. much Cheaper, much Faster and much more Reliable than a TC.
Or can I use an ethernet cable?
Yes,, cable, now and always forevermore.. that was the point of the previous post. The only decent network connection is ethernet. Wireless is a trouble prone, difficult heap of voodoo gremlins. To this day it is many times slower and many times worse than ethernet. -
I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.
