I changed my home network.

I changed my home network.  The router and all information has changed.  My time capsule stop updating.  I can see the time capsule in the airport utility, but am unable to access it.  How do I add my current capsule to my new network?

Reset it to factory and start over clean new setup;.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer.
Since you run Yosemite in particular the following help.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.

  • OJ 6500 E709n, W7,How to change which home network computer receives scan from the printer?

    Only one computer of the three on my home network can receive any scan from this wireless printer.  It was the first one set up to do that.
    That computer is now away at school.  How can I change the computer on the network that will receive the scan?
    I have tried to change the printer from the printer's Set up on the printer's face, but it only shows the one computer and I can't figure out how to change it to another printer.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi AtlArchitect, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are looking into connection options.  Due to the age of the printer, there is not software to connect to Windows 7.  You do have the option to connect with a USB via the Windows basic print driver.  You can find more information here:

  • Name of my iMac suddenly changed on home network

    I received a prompt saying the name of my iMac was being changed on the because there is another computer with the same name on my network. I have no idea why this happened. As far as I can tell, my iMac is the only one with that original name. Can anyone tell me why this happened. I have virus barrier 6 installed, and there is no indication of outside mischief.

    There are several potential causes for this, among them is having mounted an additional volume containing OS X.

    Intego Virus Barrier is self-infliced mischief. Get rid of it. It will do nothing but cause problems for you.
    Be sure to follow Intego's uninstallation instructions with care, and verify its complete eradication.
    Do not install such junk on a Mac.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • Just got a new IPOD Touch and it wont connect to our Wifi home network with a Belken N Router. Our router uses WEP 64 bit security, but had a "blank" password field, which the IPOD did not like. Changing to a 6 char numeric PW didnt help either.

    OS is whatever OS ships with current IPOD Touch
    I cannot understand why the APPLE engineers have designed this product so that it has SO MANY WIFI problems.  This is supposed to be an easy-to-use product.  We've had no problems connecting our new laptop, our ROKU box, etc, but it seems impossible to get the IPOD touch to work.  NOTHING LIKE SPENDING XMAS MORNING DOING APPLE TECH SUPPORT TROUBLESHOOTING TO LEAVE YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!!  Argh!
    In fact, the only way we have been able to get this expensive brand new IPOD to work on our home network is to DISABLE SECURITY in the router settings.  THIS IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD IDEA.
    DON"T KNOW WHY BUT MANY OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO APPLE ENGINEERING NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT NEW USERS CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TRAINED ROUTER ENGINEERS TO DO IT!!!!
    Ok, sorry for the rant, but surely those of you who are experiencing this share my frustration.  This is not why I bought an APPLE product.
    IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT APPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A WIFI PASSWORD with more than one identical alphanumeric character?  Any ideas?  We also tried eliminating the 40 MHZ setting under Bandwidth settings in the router settings for our router, but it made no difference.  The router has the latest firmware, too.  Running out of ideas, and am ready to box this unit up and send it back!

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

  • I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?

    I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?

    The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
    To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password
    also OS X Mavericks: If you forget your login password

  • N8: "Data Use in Home Network" changes automatical...

    I have selcted the "Data Use in Home Network"  to be "Always Ask".
    But i have no Idea why this option changes back to "Automatic". Some times i could not even browse GPRS data after this change happens in my N8. I have to end up restarting the Phone...
    Is there a log which indicates why this is happening??...does any log show if some error happend from the phone internally??
    I cant share with nokia care too....as it happens randomly one in a week..some times in a couple of days..!!
    Any clue on this..any one had the same problem??

    Not exactly but I don't seem to be able to stop it connecting to the network. Even with both these settings set to always ask and switch to wireless set as manual the phone connects to whatever network is there without me asking and stays connected.

  • Recently purchased iPad Mini.  Could not get it to connect.  Changed router's setting to Channel 6 and IPad connected.  Even after 6.0.2 it will not connect to some home networks although it will to public networks e.g. McDonald's.

    Recently purchased iPad Mini.  Downloaded iOS 6.0.1.  Could not get it to connect to Home WiFi using Linksys G Router.  Have another Wifi Network in Home (CenturyLink provided it as a DSL/Router combo).  Would not connect (nor would my iPhone 4s or my wife's iPhone 4) until I accessed the router's setting and changed to broadcast on Channel 6 and then IPad connected.  I suspect the only reason the iPhone were still connected to the Linksys network is that they were before I "upgraded to iOS 6.  Even after 6.0.2 the iPad and both iPhones will not connect to some home networks (its random) although thye will connect to public networks e.g. McDonald's, Panera, etc.

  • TS1398 Changed pw in my home network. Now when try to connect, I get message "unable to connect"' but It doesn't ask for new password. So ii'm dead in the water. How do I connect.?

    Changed PW in my home network. Now when I try to log on I get "unable to connect" , but it doesn't ask for he new (or any) password, so I'm dead in the water. Any suggestions?

    Use the Settings app to select your Wi-Fi network.
    Settings > Wi-Fi > Select the Wi-Fi Network that will not work > then select Forget this Network
    After to accept this choice your iPad should see your network again and allow you to enter the new password.

  • Does ATT icon change when not on their home network?

    Since the ATT contract only allows a limited amount of off network phone use, does anyone now how to tell if I'm out of their network?
    Right now, I'm in Vermont which according to AT&T's coverage maps isn't part of their home network, but my iPhone is showing AT&T with five bars.
    Does the icon change to a roaming icon or to an extended network icon if you aren't in an AT&T home network?

    Bumping this since people now have more time with
    iPhones. Has anyone seen the ATT network icon change
    to roaming or anything when you are not on ATT's home
    network? I think I live on the edge of an ATT and an
    extended ATT network provider. I don't want to lose
    my contract if I make too many calls on the wrong
    side of town, but the icon never changes. If it shows
    ATT then can I assume I'm on their home network?

    Well, as long as you can call, you're either on their network or you're on one that has a roaming agreement. Cingular/AT&T has wide coverage, so I'm not sure where you'd find it. I'll be going to Europe soon (and I am going to get tons of questions from the locals I'm sure)--when I had other phones that always showed T-Mobile, when I got there it would show Orange, T-Mobile, Vodaphone, whatever. It was cool.
    That will be the best test.

  • The name of my home network changed, now I cannot sync my ipad as it is looking for the old network name, can I change this?, the name of my home network changed, now I cannot sync my ipad as it is looking for the old network name, can I change this?

    The wifi sync button is greyed out and it says that I will be able to sync once connected to <previous network name>
    How can I change the default network I use?

    go to,
    Settings > Wi-Fi > select your new network name and join the network (by entering the password for it)
    you should now be on your new network
    For completeness, you could delete your old network by,
    Settings > Wi-Fi > click on your old network name > Forget Network
    I hope that this fixes things for you.

  • 2 iPads, but can only connect one iPad at a time to my home network.  Is this a known issue with Mac/iPads in general?

    At home I have a HP PC, netbook and Sony laptop with no connection issues.  Last year I bought an iPad 1 for my wife.  This year I bought an iPad 2 for myself.  However, only one iPad can connect to the wifi home network at a time. If I am using the iPad2 then the iPad1 fails to connect to the internet.  if the iPad1 is being used then the iPad2 cannot connect.   I tried resetting iPad network settings for both, reset router, and updated both iPads to latest software/firmware yesterday.  Right now the only iPad that shows any connection is the iPad1.  The iPad2 does not see the home network or any other outside network.  Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this?  It is odd the network issues only affect the iPad's.

    @dananova,
    It sounds like you need to either increase the number of dynamic IP addresses your router will hand out or change some of your devices to static IP addresses. 
    Check the router manual on how to change the dynamic IP range of your router.  If you don't have a manual, you can go to Belkin's website and download it.
    To change the IP address of your iPads to static addresses, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the ">" next to the name of your wireless network.  DHCP should be highlighted.  Write down the all the settings on the screen. Next tap the Static button.  Enter the exact same information that you copied from the DHCP screen with the exception of the last 3 digits of the IP address.  Enter a new 3 digit number in this spot.  Generally the original IP address will end with a low number such as 009, so pick a number that is not that low but less than 255.  I would suggest a range of 240 to 250, unless the original IP range falls near this range.  Also make sure you use a different 3 digits for each device you set to use a static IP address.

  • Set up a Home Network? How do I do it & should I merge my accounts?

    Hi Folks - this is my first post and its quite long, so please bear with me as I give you a bit of history of my problem.
    I bought a iMac and hooked it up to a Seagate 500GB hard disk using Time Machine in my study and connect to my ISP via WiFi using a standard router. I then set up two user accounts - one for me & one for my wife and sync'd them both to our MobileMe accounts.
    Later I bought a Mac mini to use as a media centre in my lounge. It hooks into my HD TV through the mini-DVI port and I have a Elgato Eye hooked up via a USB port that links up to my Sky HD+ satellite box via a S-Video cable and AV component leads. I'm using a Mighty Mouse and an Apple Bluetooth keyboard via bluetooth. It has no external back-up hard disk and Time Machine is not set-up.
    When I set the Mac mini up, I wasn't quite sure what was the best way to set it up, but I used the Apple Set-up function to copy files & settings over WiFi from the iMac to the Mac mini for both user accounts. So I ended up with a compete copy of my iMac desktop/settings/files on my Mac mini with both accounts set-up with access to our MobileMe accounts.
    I wanted to change the layout of my dock on the Mac mini to remove some Apps (iWorks & MS Office). When I then subsequently logged into my iMac, the dock there was now different ie. the same as the Mac mini. So in order to keep my iMac dock different from my Mac mini dock, I changed the user account names on the Mac mini to a new naming convention 'Name - Mac mini'.
    I only wanted my media files on the Mac mini and all my other docs (spreadsheets, word processing etc) on the iMac, the idea being the iMac becomes a workstation and the Mac mini the media centre.
    So I deleted the relevant files off each mac. I then set-up network file sharing on both and can log into either via Finder to be able to get access to retrieve/access any files I need from either Mac - but this only works if both are on. Now I'm not so sure this is the best set-up.
    I've now started to fill up my Mac mini hard drive and I thought I would add some more storage and it would be great if I could back up both the iMac and Mac mini via Time Machine to a hard drive. A friend suggested using NAS storage for this as he does that with his iMac & Apple TV.
    So here's my two-part dilemma (appreciate your patience so far)....
    Dilemma No. 1: - What should I do for my storage solution?
    I can see the advantage of moving all my media & documents to the one shared network and being able to access them no matter what Mac I am using without the other having to be turning the other one on.
    I'm considering buying something like a Buffalo Linkstation NAS and connecting to the Mac mini via ethernet.
    Dilemma No. 2: - What should I do with my multiple accounts? Merge or keep separate?
    I get a little fed-up having to go downstairs and switch on the Mac mini to watch a TV show if I am upstairs on the iMac or if we are in the lounge browsing the web and want a file from the desktop iMac I have to run upstairs and switch that on.
    I know I could leave them both on sleep mode but I do like to turn them off now and again.
    I fI go for a NAS solution, should I keep the accounts separate?
    What's the best solution for both my dilemmas and are they interlinked? As an aside, I know very little about home-networking and what equipment I would need and how I would go about setting it up.
    Any help you can give [if you're still awake after reading this ] would be most appreciated.
    Cheers.

    I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.
