I just got an Airport time capsule 2TB. When I start back-up it backs up about 17kb and then stops but says Calculating time remaining.... Anyone got an idea of what's going on?

Just got an Airport Time capsule,
I set it up as a network extension and began back-up.
It estimated 4 hours so I left it run. After 10 hours I noticed it had stopped backing up but had not back up to the time capsule. So I tried again and it just got stuck on Calculating Time Remaining. I reset the capsule a few times and have set it up as instructed. The same has happened each time.
It backs up about 17kb of info and then freezes with Calculating time remaining below the progress bar.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Network extension sounds onimous.. is this wireless extension.. it is super bad for large TM backups..
Always do the first backup direct by ethernet to the TC even if it has to be in full isolation.
Stalling at 17kb might be just the wireless having issues. Or it can be a corruption in a file.

A1.. install the widget so you have access to the TM logs.. what the heck it is doing.
A4. if you upgrade installed OS.. do a reset of TM and start over.
A5 verify the disk.
C9 watch out for network names that are over long and over complex.. especially with Mavericks. It is hopeless.
I do recommend using a USB connected drive.. to do a first backup it is often the easy way.
Much faster and more reliable than over network.

I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections. Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function. Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care. If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

I set up time capsule using a wireless 4g modem. it's been five hours and it still is saying making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB). Can I stop the whole thing, get a ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?

I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem. I started the initial backup. It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)." Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?
Thanks,

oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983

I do not receive all my e-mailson all my devices. I seem to get them all on my iPhone 5s, but not all show up on my iPad and iMac. they are all set up the same. Any Ideas on what is going on and what I can do to remedy this? thanks

I have an iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.5,an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad with iOS 7.1.2. all software is up to date. My problem is I do not receive all my e-mail on all 3 devices all the time. I seem to get them on my phone , but not all show up on my iMac or iPad. Any ideas as to what is going on and what can I do to resolve this issue? thanks

On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish.

My iPhone goes through most of the steps to synch with iTunes and then stops. iTunse eventually times out on the synch. How do I fix this ?

When I try to synch my iPhone 4 with iTunes - both at the latest code levels - the synch goes normally until the last stage where I get the message Finishing sync. It nevers completes. Eventually it times out and states that the iPhone is not responding. On the phone the sync icon has gone away so the iPhone thinks that it is done.

More information. During the synch process this last time it moved through the first 5 steps fine. At some point during the "Waiting for items to copy" the iPhone stopped showing the sync icon.

Your MBP is actually a mid-2010, not a 2008. That's what the 6,2 model indicates.There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.

What you can do to use it is download gfxstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel. That would affect your work with Final Cut, but at least you might be able to use the machine.

When I start the install, I choose "as current user" and then...nothing. The installation just stops.

That's it. I can't even get past the starting phase of the installation. It just dies. Any ideas? I'm on windows 7

Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
You normally install Firefox as a normal user and confirm the UAC pop-up alert to allow Firefox to update the registry and install the Mozilla Maintenance Service to make it possible to update in the background.

HT2954 My receive function on the email gets just the first email and then stops

My receive function on the email gets just the first email and then stops, but the wheel keeps turning like it is looking. What can I do to get it functioning again. This program has been steady for several years so something in it is tweaked. Other computers can access the account just fine. If I shut down the mail program and start it up again it will get the same email and then go into the spinning mode again. Is there a file I can delete to reset the account. I have tried to re input the SMTP data but no luck. Any Ideas?

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...

I have a Time Capsule as my router. I can connect wirelessly to the network and internet with my MBPr, but my Mac Mini will only connect to the network wired or wirelessly. Airport on it sees the internet as green, but will not connect.

I have the Time Capsule hooked to a wireless modem. It uses a static IP, which is put in and running. The MBPr connects, as well as my iPhone 5, to the internet and network without problem. I can see the Mac Mini, external drive attached to it, and the Time Capsule. The Mac Mini connects to the network wired or wirelessly, but not to the internet. On wireless, using AirPort the Internet shows green, but no connection when I open Safari. The settings under network settings are identical except for LAN IP between the Mac Mini and the MBPr. I was hoping someone might have an idea of what was going on. Before I moved the Time Capsule was on Bridge mode from another router, now it is on DHCP and NAT for the internal network.

No, its is connected direct to the providers fiber box.

2 iMacs upgraded to Mavericks, neither one is completing Time Machine backups. Never had this problem in previous OS versions. Reformated disc. Reinstalled as TM destination. Backup begins and then stops early in process.

I have two iMacs that I've upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.1.
Both started out OK but no longer allow Time Machine to complete backups.
The one I'm on now, older 24", has a fresh 500GB external HD for TM, reformated correctly.
Says backup size 147GB.
Get about 120 plus Mb into backup and stops.
No error messages, just stops and stays at the place where it stops.
Says calculating time remaining.
Left it on all day while away from my desk and returned home 10 hours later and still frozen at that state.
Newer iMac 27" fully loaded, 2TB HD as TM disc, same problem.
Backed up OK for the first few days, now frozen, with over 3/4 of the HD still available.
Reformat, reselect the TM disc, still will not complete a full backup.
Should I reinstall Mountain Lion until they get Mavericks working properly?
Are others experiencing the same problem?
Whassup?

Yes Eric. That is where the info came from. Since 9.2TB is impossible it must be due to how Time Machine handles the files in backups.backupdb. I have since done new Time Machine backups to the reformatted drive and I was hoping to copy at least few of the old backup files to the drive in the same file with the new ones but when I do that I get an error message that says backup files cannot be modified. It's very frustrating because I saved the old backups.backupdb to the desktop but it doesn't seem like I can do anything with it.

I am a fitst time user of the new airport extreme time capsule 2TB. I have a mac book pro and an imac. I installed the router today and got my computers online wirelessly. BUT I cannot get my previous wireless printers to connect with the router.

I am a first time user of the new airport extreme time capsule 2TB. I use a macbook pro and imac. I installed the router today and got on wirelessly. BUT I cannot get my 2 printers that were previously wireless to find the router signal. The worked fine on my current set up OS Mounitain Lion 10.8.4. Apple tells me it is the printer mfr issue and printer companies tell me it is apple issue. Any help appreciated.

Arguably, they're both right.
Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

I have an iMac that I bought back in 2008. Ive kept uptodate with my OS and have the new Maverick. I want to buy an Airport Time Capsule (2TB). Is this going to be compatible?

Yes, absolutely.

Airport Time Capsule 2TB - Problem with Backups

Hello everybody,
I´m from Germany but I hope you understand my english. I have got a problem with my new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I want to use it as a data storage, where all my pictures and videos are accessible via WIFI.
Copying the datas was no problem but now I want to make a backup of all the datas. For this purpose i created a RAID 0 out of two 1TB external hard drives. I connected the bay with these two hard drives in it with the Time Capsules USB interface. The problem is that no drives were displayed in the airport-programm ... Also non of my other USB hard drives were found. Only the Time Capsule´s partition "data" got found...
In the time machine program I can´t see the Time Capsule, so I can´t do a backup on the normal way... Even the "hard drive - program" from OS X didn´t show the Time Capsule.
It looks like they don´t want to know anything about each other ...
So, how can I realize to do a backup of the datas saved on my Time Capsule?
Thank you for your answers and sorry if my english is bad in some cases.

Ok.. can understand..
You have two problems.. maybe 3.
1. Time Machine (TM) does not work on network drives which includes Time Capsule.. so you simply cannot backup your pictures from a TC to a backup location using TM. It only works on locally connected drives.. you can use an alternative software like Carbon Copy Cloner .. I did check superduper but in the past it was not able to backup network source drives. You will need to check if the situation has improved.
2. The Time Capsule will not accept raid array disks.. it must be a standard hard disk on a USB drive that it has drivers for.. and that is far from every model out there. So not all plain single USB disk works.. almost no array disks work.
3. Your iphoto library if that is what you mean by pictures should not be on a network drive.. apple says it is going to be corrupted.
YMMV.. it is dangerous and only a matter of time.. if the pictures and videos are raw from camera that is fine.. it is only the iphoto (or aperture) library that is at risk.

I just got an Airport time capsule 2TB. When I start back-up it backs up about 17kb and then stops but says Calculating time remaining.... Anyone got an idea of what's going on?
