I can't access to time capsule HD

Hi, I got my time capsule today and I already have internet access, but I can't do backup's...I can't do nothing with the HD. What can I do?
I'm using a pc, and when I click on my time capsule and insert my password, appear:
Unknown user, incorrect password or no network access. Insert again the network access informations or contact the administrator of the HD (67)
( something like that because it is in portuguese )
Thanks

have you tried installing the airport utility:

Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

Yes, but the issue is the IP address. If you have a static IP from your ISP it is easy.. Or if you use another router with dyndns it is easy.. but Apple make it exclusive to their network so you can have loads of issues without a computer to function as a client for dns.
Look up remote Time Capsule access .. there is plenty of info out there.

Can I access my Time Capsule from my iPad/iPad2 with iOS5 now? EX: Itunes from iPad to TC folders?

Can I access my Time Capsule over the Internet?

I want to know if it is possible to access my time capsule Hard Disk over the internet, How do I do it?

"Launch AirPort Utility and select "Manual Setup". Click on the "Disks" icon in the title bar, then on the "File Sharing" tab. That's where you set your Time Capsule to share as you want."
OK, checked that last night at home.
I'm at the hotel now with a good internet connection via ethernet.
What do I do now? Please provide step by step rather than a general statement.

Can't access the Time Capsule Drive and attached USB drive

I bought the 3 TB Time capsule a couple of months ago. I am using it as my wireless router for a cable modem and have attached a USB drive (seagate) to the TC. I use the TC drive for time machine only. It worked well at first, for about the first month. Now I have trouble accessing the TC drive as well as the USB drive. The router function works perfectly fine. The drives show up in the Finder under Shared but cannot connect. Time machine does not back up because it says the back up drive is not available. In disc utility, the base station shows with the correct name, but I can't access it. It asks for a pasword but does not respond, so I cannot reboot it from my computer.
If I restart the TC (power off and on), it works fine, I can access both drives. However, this problem recurs, sometimes within a few days. I have also noticed, which may be related, that when I enter time machine (when everything is working fine), some of the back-ups are blank. There is a date and time but no actual back-up. Not sure if this is related.
I'm runing Mavericks 10.9.2 on an older MacBook, 15" late 2008 with 2.4 ghz dual core.

Hi Bob,
I updated Mavericks but still had the same problem, so I did a hard reset on TC, although I held the button for over 5 seconds and the amber light was flashing rapidly, it acted like a soft reset. Still no change so I rebooted my laptop. Still had an excellent internet connection but in AirPort utility, the TC is grayed out and says device not found. Light on TC was amber. So, I tried a hard reset again, but the light wouldn't flash at all. Unplugged it and after pluggin back in, acted like a hard reset. I restored previous settings and it is fine for the moment. Will keep you posted if it recurs. Hopefully it will not with updated Mavericks, but I get the feeling the problem may be the TC.

HT1178 How can I access the Time Capsule HD from my PC?

Hi,
I bought the Time Capsule because I thought it was a easy way of creating a small home network with a shared HD and printer. The wireless setup was easy but everything else doesn't seem that straight forward. I soon found out that I could not just plug my USB printer. You actually need a WPS printer which was not clear in the product description. Anyhow, just need a new printer.
The main issue for me is being able to share files between my devices (Apple and non-Apple) as well as share the HD. I cannot find a way of configuring my PC or TC so that I can access the TC HD from my PC. Has anyone been able to configure that?
Thanks

You can plug a printer in via USB.. but not all printers work.. nor does airprint . but that has nothing to do with the Apple router.. that is how apple designed iOS.
What printer do you have?
Getting USB printer working can be tricky because by its nature you are networking a printer designed for local connection.. not networking.
To share printers and file sharing load the airport utility for windows into the windows computer.. that includes bonjour for windows which is helpful for sharing of apple network devices.. and there is a disk agent.
That might get you in without anything else.
No luck remember windows does not work well with the names apple uses by default.. make sure all names on the TC conform with windows networking.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
In windows explorer address bar type
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (where clearly you replace the TCname with actual name or the TCIPaddress with the actual IP address).
If that still fails... then you have firewall issues.. turn off all firewalls in the PC .. there can be several running.
And make sure the PC is set to home as location . .not office or public.

New Mavericks install. Can't access old time capsule :(

I've been running Mountain Lion since January 2013 and have had my Time Capsule / Time Machine set up since.
I just reformatted my computer's drive to install Mavericks and I forgot to backup my iTunes Library.
I did NOT unplug timecapsule during the whole reformat / Mavericks install process.
In Mavericks, I enabmed Time Capsule and found that I have 2.75TB free of 3TB and that the oldest backup is Jan 2013.
Has my time capsule drive been formatted? my iTunes library alone is probably 50GB.
Is there a way I can access my old Time Capsule backups so that I can restore my iTunes Libarary??

Not looking good.. if there is 2.75TB free hardly any of the TC has been used.. it is unlikely the format changed anything.
Attempt a migration of the itunes..
http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
We don't have details of Maverick of course but it should be very similar to Lion or ML.
Other than that then I have to say your chances are slim..
If you are sure the iTunes was backed up and you checked the disk usage before you reformatted the computer and know it was using at least as much space as the hdd in the computer then you could pull the hard disk from the TC and use a software like data rescue 3 to see if there files were deleted..
Did you allow a new TM backup to start.. that could wipe out the original backup?
Other than that.. recovery on the disk is not possible if you reformatted instead of upgrade installed.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I can't access my Time Capsule hard disk.

Just do not mount the hard disc, or the Time Capsule's hard disk or external HDD, but if I can connect to internet through it .. What is it the problem?
A week ago if I could access the hard disks

Restart the TC.. you are most likely using Lion.. Lion has a nasty habit of forgetting where the TC is.
If that fails.. reset the TC and start again.

Can you access the Time Capsule just like a normal HD?

I'm wondering if the Time Capsule can only be used for backup or can you partition it and use it like regular external hard drive?

I don't use TM on my TC. I use TC as my net server. I use the Finder to drag and drop files to the TC. I also use TC to share files long distance with my children who are away.
I since removed the 500 gig hd and placed a 250 gig in the TC.
I've swapped a one terabyte hard drive into the TC also which was very quick and simple.
You are not going to partition a TC hard drive unless you pull it and partition the hard drive say in a firewire or usb enclosure or internal in a MacPro.

HT1178 Can't access my time capsule

When I click on the time capsule icon, it opens a window similar to founder, but closes by itself after 20sec. What can I do to fix it?

Reset the TC to factory and start over.. plug the TC into the computer by ethernet as well as keeping wireless active.
You can even do it in full isolation from the network.. ensure ipv6 is turned on to link-local in both the ethernet and the wireless network preferences on the computer.. this is important.. the utility now requires ipv6 to work.
You must also be using the latest utility available.. so make sure you are up to date.

How can I access the time capsule hard drive via ethernet?

I recently bought a new laptop, as my old one was sadly stolen. I'm trying to connect to my backed up time capsule hard drive via ethernet to retrieve my files, but it doesn't seem to work. Oddly enough I have no issues over wifi. When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network. I have a MacBook Air with an ethernet adapter if that makes any difference. I'm also running the latest OS X and firmware. Wifi is simply too slow for this restoration process, so any suggestions?
Could I possibly connect via USB? What kind of cable would that require? Is the ethernet issue a problem with my settings?
Help greatly appreciated

In the Network panel of System Preferences do you have an Ethernet connection item on the left? If not, authenticate if necessary by clicking on the lock, then click the plus sign at the bottom of that column and add an Ethernet item.
When I switch from wifi to ethernet, it gives me an error message stating that the disk was not found in the network.
How are you doing that switching? When you switch to Ethernet do you have connectivity to the Internet? If not, do you see a tiny green light on the Time Capsule next to the Ethernet socket you're using?
Could I possibly connect via USB?
No.

I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time...
Thanks for any help.

I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??
The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
eg
Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
Is the issue wireless only.. ??
Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.

How do I access my time capsule over the internet

How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

Can't reset my time capsule using reset button and I don't have the password to get into reset it.

I can't reset my time capsule b/c the reset button broke off when my time capsule fell off my shelf. I can't remember the password to the disk or time capsule to do a manual reset and I can't access the time capsule. Any suggestions around this?
Thanks.

Bob's suggestion is the best, as the old passwords should be stored on that computer.
If you need to do it .. the hard way.. just open the TC.
You need a heat gun (hair dryer on hottest setting works fine).. to heat the rubber mat up to very hot.. I usually take 5min or more just heating it, evenly as possible. Lift on one corner and keep heating whilst peeling off the rubber. I use a pair of leather garden gloves as it needs to be so hot you cannot hold it for long.
Really hot the rubber easily peels off with all the glue on the rubber.
Now undo the 10 small philips head screws and carefully lift up the aluminium base plate. There is a fan plugged into the board so don't pull. You can disconnect the plug carefully and lift it completely off.
You can then press the reset switch with a small screwdriver or the like.. careful not to short anything if you use metal.
The plastic lever should still be rolling around inside the TC.. when I look carefully at the plastic, the lever is inserted later.. not part of the one moulding.. there are two plastic stakes, which are heated and bent down like a rivet to hold the lever in place. You may be able to relocated the lever onto the plastic stakes with some glue.. use a good 5min epoxy rather than instant glue.. although on ABS plastic the instant glue works very well. Use the glue under and on top but a tiny amount, otherwise you will simply glue the lever to the body and it will never work again. You might be able to make it stay.. just be very gentle if you ever need to press it again.
You can try a more permanent repair.
Plastic flexing as hinges is not an engineering solution .. but you can get a scrap of metal, thin brass would be ideal... drill a hole in one end and use a small dia screw.. I would tap it and run a screw from the inside, using a short screw so only the end of the screw is visible. Coat the inside with silastic so it cannot short anything. Depends on your handyman type skills I guess.
Strange that it would break.. Must have hit hard!!
