I get an error message when trying to connect to time capsule*

So I have set up my TC and tried backing up my MBA using TM, but I keep getting this error message and cant even connect to the TC
Don't know what to do. Other Macs in my house connect and back up fine and they run Snow Leopard. My MBA runs Lion. I have read that this may be the reason why this is happening, but how do I fix this?
Any help much appreciated.

You could try a Reset as per this excellent Time Machine Guide.
I must be fortunate as I backup to TC from an assortment of Lion and SL MacBooks and iMacs.  I do not let TM run auto-backups but do it manually from each system, as required.

    First, restart the MacBook Air and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this solves the problem.

    How do I decode the error messages?

    The information from a Google search indicates the error is generated when connecting to a PC share. So this may be some kind of error generated by the NAS' operating system. In any event I cannot find such an error number associated with OS X so if it is an OS X error number then it's not publicly documented. I would still think Synology's tech support should be able to help you since it is their device. If they sent you here then they're passing the buck.

  • Getting an error message when trying to connect to Telepresence Meeting - "Call Denied"

    I am getting an error when trying to connect to Telepresence units I have been using for quite some time. I tried multiple computers and multiple destinations. The error message "call denied" pops up within seconds after trying to connect.
    Any ideas? Is this a Cisco related issue?

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to connect to sync on my Android saying the user name and password are invalid.

    I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 on both my Android as well as my laptop. I am trying to set up the sync feature and keep getting the error message on my Android saying that the username or password are invalid. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have tried changing my password. I continue to get this error message.

    Can you try again with Firefox 4.0b8 (desktop) and 4.0b3 (Android)? We have changed the way that Sync setup works, and it no longer requires entering the password and sync key by hand.

  • I am getting an error Message when trying to connect to 4g (or any g)

    VZAccess Mgr sees my modem...sees the networks...and when I try to connect I get error WMC604...which cannot be found anywhere on the verizon support pages...HELP please!

    I am also getting this error. In fact for the last few days and today. I am travailing between NJ- Baltimore MD.
    Using LTE only and still can't connect with error  WMC604 even with 60db signal. Plenty of reboots, resets, and replugs. Used the newest version of VZaccess, and fresh  installs on two computers. Setting to CDMA only does connect.
    Talking to Verizon they have other tickets for this issue and are creating one
    for me as well.
    It seems clear to me Verizon is having major issues here..
    Along with the WMC604 my experience is  the 4G maps are not accurate outside of Philly.
    There are large amount of areas where Verizon claims to have 4G and
    is there is none. Maybe the towers are not fired up.. fine just say so.
    Can't get any answers out of the Verizon store or anyone on the phone
    to confirm any issues on their side although it seems obvious. I personally have wasted a lot of time trying
    to figure out these issues.

    Hello buttonbabe,
    I found a couple of articles that might help with the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
    If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:

  • I get an error message when trying to connect my iphone to a lenovo thinkpad

    I cannot get my Iphone to work on the Lenovo Thinkpad edge 520, when I connect the phone it brings up an error saying there was a problem loading the device. In the control panel I get a yellow exclamatin mark next to the mobile usb device. I tried to update the OS of the phone and the driver on the laptop, and uninstalled the viris program.

    The iPhone will NOT pair with any computer via bluetooth with the expetion being for tethering an internet connection.  This has NEVER been a feature of the iPhone or any iOS device.

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

    I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message.  I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started.  How do I fix this?

    In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
    It says:  "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
    "iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
    The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process. 
    Any advice????

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck
