I can't access time capsule HD after start to use osx mavericks!

hello,
I used to keep some files on my time capsule HD, as an external HD, since osx leopard. But now i'm using osx MAVERICKS I still use time machine back ups in my time capsule, but now I can't access my other files on time capsule HD.
Please Help me!

Try manually mounting the TC.. Mavericks has this thing where it hates TC.
In Finder.. Go, Connect to server.
Type in the TC network name or IP.
AFP://TCNetworkName or IP
You need to understand network name is different to if you used illegal characters or spaces when you named the TC.
So
Raphael's Apple Time Capsule becomes
Raphaels-Apple-Time-Capsule
Once you have the correct name the OS will ask for the password. by default it is public.. type in YOUR password.. or public and save it to your keychain.
The hard disk should then mount.
I strongly recommend using fully legal names for TC and wireless..
Short,, 2-20 characters
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.

After upgrading to Lion I can't access time capsule pre lion.

Last week I backedup to time capsule via cable.
I then upgraded to Lion.
After upgrading I backedup to TC again.
Now my MBP 17 can't access time capsule pre lion. So I can't see any of my last 2 years of Snow Leopard data.

yikes, I had to move all my years of iPhoto folders/pix from very old iMac to a new HP laptop with PC Vista Home Premium....now finally ready and hoping to do years worth of photo albums! so I go in to these files and of course they don't open...because they're on pc.
- I am techno ignorant on all this, what can I do? Is there any way I can open these on PC or do I need to go back and reinstall on a very very very old AND slow slow slow mac? these photos were created in 199, 200, 2001 up through 2007 so through many versions of iPhoto and Mac OS. I am hoping I can retrieve them - and very worried I cannot! Would love advice and help.
- and on a separate note, any good, inexpensive iPhoto and iTunew wizard/tech support professionals out there in the Menlo Park, CA area?

Can I access time capsule file without using imac

can I access time capsule file without using imac

From a time machine backup? No. If you mean just a regular file stored on there? Not directly. There are a couple of apps out there where you can indirectly get to a file but it's a pain. If you have need of accessing a file both from the mac and the iPad then I suggest DropBox. You get 2GB free and it's a good way to share information between machines and devices.

Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule. Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

Problem accessing Time Capsule settings after firmware 7.3.1 upgrade

I understand there are similar posts, but none provide a solution to my problem:
I bought a brand new Time Capsule and set it up. Everything worked fine and I could access it using AirPort Utility. After the initial setup I immediately upgraded the firmware from version 7.3 to 7.3.1. Now, when I try to access or change the settings, AirPort Utility first reports that it is "Reading the Time Capsule configuration...", and after about 2 minutes I get the message
"An error occurred while reading the configuration. -- Please make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
I performed a hard reset and could then access the settings again for another setup. At the end of the setup, AirPort Utility reports that it's "Writing the Time Capsule configuration...", and after about 2 minutes
"An error occurred while updating the configuration. -- Please make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6722)"
I also tried to access the settings using a direct Ethernet connection to my iMac, but to no avail.
Now, even though I can't access the Time Capsule settings, which is annoying, the device seems to be working: it creates a wireless network and I can access the Time Capsule hard drive.
Any solutions to this problem? Is it possible to revert to firmware version 7.3? Or do I need to wait for a firmware upgrade?

Great, thank you! Looks like this solved my problem.
I performed the reset, and then restored firmware version 7.3 using your great advice to *press the option key when clicking "Check for Updates"*.
I then used the setup dialog, put it my info and passwords, restart... oops, once again, I can't access the settings, even though I'm using firmware 7.3 which used to work when I first set up Time Capsule when it was fresh out of the box.
Reset, do the same thing again, still can't access settings and can't upgrade the firmware.
Reset, *first thing upgrade the firmware to 7.3.1*. I put in my info again, and finally, everything works.
One note: I'm not sure if that matters, but in the last step, I set up Time Capsule using the window that you get when you click the Time Capsule icon in the AirPort Utility. Previously, I would click "Continue" in the AirPort Utility for the assisted setup. This might not matter, but I want to mention it anyways in case it helps replicate this solution.

MacBook Air 11" can't access Time Capsule Disk

Hi:
I have two Minis, a MPB 13" and a MBA 11" connected to my Time Capsule. My MBP and the two Minis can access the Time Capsule disk with no problem. It's a different story for the MBA.
From the MBA, I can see my Time Capsule in Finder (Bonjour) and I can click on it, however the disk never appears. Clicking "connect as" doesn't do anything either. From Finder if I go "connect to server" and I type the IP address of my Time Capsule it connects without problems, but it won't connect with its name.
I am able to connect the disk on my other Macs from the MBA via Bonjour, just not the Time Capsule. As mentionned earlier, the Time Capsule disk is available from my other Macs and even from Windows.
I rebooted a few times and confirmed that the username/password are properly saved in the keychain of my MBA.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

Are your other Macs connected via Wifi or ethernet? It sounds like some sort of network configuration issue. If they are connected via Wifi then I'd make sure the MBA has the same settings for it's network. Alternately I'd get rid of the keychain entry on the MBA and re-enter it to make sure it's correct. As a last resort I'd restart the Time Capsule and see if it makes a difference. I'm connecting a MBA to a Time Capsule so it should work.

IPhone 4S Can't see Time Capsule Wireless after IO6 update

My iphone can't see my Time Capsule wireless network after upgrading to IO6. My iPad3 works fine after upgrade.
I determined that if I change settings on the TC to 802.11N(b/g) compatible it can see/connect.
Seems to be a problem with the 802.11 5GHz band that the iPhone can't see after the IOS6 update.
Not sure if this is the same issue that others are seeing but could be worth a try to change your router's radio config.
Hopefully Apple sorts this out soon.
Very annoying to upgrade and have existing networking break!!!!
Bad Karma and I just ordered 2 new iPhone 5's

Still having this issue - used to be able to connect prior to this update - The iPhone has no problem auto joining the local Cable WiFi - but still doesn't show the Time Capsule WiFi SSID's in the list. iPad and three other Macs see and can join the Time Capsule WiFi.

Time machine can not access time capsule after upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion

Two days ago I upgraded my 2009 17" MBP from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. That evening my time capsule/time machine combination worked fine and did an incremental backup of about 12 gigabyte. Yesterday - only one day later - the time machine backup did not work anymore.
It appears that the system can not find the time capsule - even though it shows the remaining free space on the time capsule (so it did find it after all).
The message is always the same:
Time Machine can not complete the backup "Time Capsule"
The image of the backup volume "/Volumes/Data/Pauls MacBookPro.sparsebundle" is not accessable (Error -1).
I also can not delete the backup image on the time capsule since it is read-only. And I do not want to format the time caspsule yet since my wife's MBAir is also using the same time casule.
I tried out all kinds of suggestions (hard and soft resetting both the MBP and the TC, entering the password again, setting the TC up again) all to no avail. No backup is possible anymore.

Sounds like you got this message earlier:
If so, see #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Offhand, I don't recall anyone not being able to delete one via the Finder (but most were only backing-up one Mac, so just erased the disk).
You may have to wait for that message to appear again (24 hours later), or you might try holding Alt/Option with the TM icon in the menubar, and select Verify Backups if it will let you.

Can't access Time Capsule's hard disk after Lion upgrade

I haven't been able to access my TC's hard disk after I upgraded to Lion.
I used to manually backup files to the volume but I can't do it anymore. I can't see the disk in the Finder's sidebar. Devices are all checked in Finder's preferences for sidebar and my WiFi/Internet works fine. Airport Utility doesn't show any problems and upgraded to OS X 10.7.1 but still no luck. I also tried to hook my laptop with ethernet cable and my TC but it didn't work either.
Any ideas?

I'm new to Time Capsule, but I think I have the same problem. I thought I could use Time Capsule as a hard drive, but it comes on and off in my finder. Is this normal?

Multiple Users Can't Access Time Capsule Data

My wife and I have two separate Apple MacBooks that share a Time Capsule. We have different account names on these respective computers. I initially set up my Time Capsule and created folders that I can access from Finder.app when I connect over our wireless network. In Airport Utility.app, under the "Disks" tab, I set up the shared disks "with device password", so that she and I can mutually access all the data on the Time Capsule. However, when I try to access it from her computer, I click on the Time Capsule in Finder.app and get this dumb Sharepoint icon--a total dead end. I created another account on her computer with the same name as the account on my own computer, and from that account, I'm able to access all of the data on the Time Capsule. This therefore seems to be a permissions issue, but I've checked all of the files and folders on the Time Capsule and ensured that they all have "everyone read & write" access, so there should be no restrictions on access to this data.
Why are the volumes on my Time Capsule sensitive to the user accessing them? How do I set up data repositories on the Time Capsule that can be accessible to all users on my network? I'm out of ideas.

Are both computers actually running Mavericks??
This is very typical Yosemite problem.
For some reason which I don't yet understand Yosemite is horrible at handling network drives.
dumb Sharepoint icon
Sharepoint is a dlink app?? If you have ever had some app loaded that uses a different product to apple then it can mess your access.
WD share stuff seems to be the worst and causes no end of problems.
What you are seeing btw is the TC is not a NAS.. you are trying to use it as one.. but it isn't.

Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro. If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers? Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.

Back To My Mac: Can access Mac, can't access Time Capsule

I have a Time Capsule and also a Macbook Air behind an ATT modem/router. I have enabled Back To My Mac on both. I also clicked Enable File Sharing and set a password. From a friend's house, I can log in to MobileMe and see both the Mac and the Time Capsule in my Finder. Here's the problem: I can then connect to my Mac's disk and browse files, but I can't connect to the TC disk at all, it just says "Connection Failed". I don't know if the router supports uPNP or NAT-PMP, and I don't have the ability to set up port forwarding, so maybe I'm out of luck. I guess what confuses me is that I can get to my Mac, so I would assume the same protocols are in use to get to the Time Capsule. Any thoughts on what I might have done wrong? Thanks for the help.
-ts-

I can even use Airport Utility to configure the remote Time Capsule, but I can't seem to access the disk on it for a remote Time Machine backup. I've Googled and Binged and can't seem to find any reason why this wouldn't work. Anyone?
Thanks,

Can see, but can't access Time Capsule

I just installed the Time Capsule. Wi-Fi works. I can't figure out how to access the time capsule hard drive from the desktop that is wired to Time Capsule. I can see it in the work group, but it will not access it. I disabled the firewall and it didn't help. I have laptops connected throught Wi-Fi, but I can't figure out how to make them "see" the Time Capsule either.
THANKS!!

Do you have a computer plugged in by ethernet? If not do so.. press and hold the reset for 10sec if you still have no access.
You may even need to remove it completely from the network.. plug directly into a computer with no other connection.
Once you have access take the firmware back to 7.5.2 as the later versions are specifically for Lion and do nothing but add bugs for every OS.
Then the following need fixing.
1. All names are wrong for SMB.. change to short no spaces no special characters.
2. Fix and lock the wireless. Use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
3. Set a separate name for 5ghz.
4. Use wpa2 private security.. set passkey as above.. no spaces pure alphanumeric 8-12 characters.

Can you access time capsule remotely?

I am currently at work and would like to access backed up files from time capsule, didn't know if this is possible.

Yes, you can on a Mac as the TC is only able to present AFP access to the internet.
There is a number of methods to set this up but since Apple is shutting mobileme the easy method has finished.
Follow the info in this thread.. starting with the post at the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2792797?tstart=0
That is valid for TC if it is set as the router in the network, and takes the public ip on its wan interface.
If the TC is behind another router, you will need to open tcp and udp on port 548 to get access.
It is relatively simple to do.. but I am fairly sure this is not secure.. even if you put a decent password on the disk, which indeed you should do, it is open to man in the middle type attack. If the content on the TC is not an issue.. then you can live with the risk, but if you would prefer not to have people get access, I would say this is the wrong way and you should use a vpn router, and bridge the TC.
You will need to check that your workplace allows access as many work places will consider what you are doing is a risk as well.
