I lost Internet connection with my time capsule

How can I get my Internet connection with time capsule

Reboot the whole network.. restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients.
If that doesn't fix it.. reset the TC and start over.

I lose my Internet connection, unplug my Time Capsule for a while, plug it back in and get my conne ction back. What may be causing that?

I lose my Internet connection, unplug my Time Capsule for a while, plug it back in, then in a few minutes my Internet is connected again. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks

I was being jovial..
SL is snow leopard.. If you are on 10.6.8 you are on SL. Your initial post says 10.5.6 but I assumed you had upgraded to Lion or worse Mountain Lion.
Don't whatever you do update.. that is out of the frying pan into the fire.
You might need to give more network info..
What is the TC plugged into for broadband.. are you on cable, adsl, other.. is the TC in router mode.
I find with SL, the later versions of TC firmware much worse than earlier ones.. So I do recommend you check your TC and if you are on 7.6.1 then downgrade to 7.5.2 .. you do this by holding the option key when you select update firmware.. it will show you downgrade options as well as upgrade.. only this is not possible with newest Gen 4 TC which are stuck on 7.6.x firmware.
How do you connect to the TC is the other question.. and with what?? Is this issue computer only or iphone ipad etc. ie is your network wireless or ethernet (or both) does the issue affect both?

I can't connect with the Time Capsule.

Hello everyone,
Some years ago, I bought a Time Capsule. Until now, I didn't want to use it as an extern HD.
So I tried today.
I am using it for a year now, as main router. Several computers and iDevices are using it.
Because I had forgotten some things - and I hadn't wrote it down - I decided to reset it and configure it again.
Since then, the internet has become slower - and I my Macbook pro can't connect to the Time Capsule's disk.
In Finder's everything fine. Left, under 'Shared', I can see the Time Capsule as a HD.
When I click on it, I see: "No Connection". Then I select "Connect As", and I fill in the Time Capsule password.
It tries to connect a few minutes, but then I get the message:
"The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
In the Airport Utility, there's a green light.
*My firmware has the newest updates
*I am using Snow Leopard
*I am using newest update of the Airport Utility
*Since reset, internet's fine but a bit slower.
Other Questions:
*Can I use my Time Capsule for other things than only Time Machine (backup)?
*Can I divide it in parts? (Backup, User)
*Can I backup multiple devices on it? (Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air etc.)
Hope you can help me!

What actual model is the TC.. the A1xxx number from the rubber base mat???
As they age they become unreliable. Some earlier and some at 3year mark.
It greatly depends on the setup of the existing network.
I would recommend a downgrade in the TC firmware.. as with Snow Leopard there is no advantage to you in the later firmware.
Go to the airport utility and select firmware update.. hold down the option key when you make the selection and all the previous versions available for your model will come up. I recommend using 7.5.2
Do another reset of the device. This time a full factory reset.. and start the configuration again.
Ignore update to firmware requests.. turn off the reminder.
Set all names to SMB standard. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. TC name, wireless names, hard disk name.
For wireless I recommend you use wpa2 security with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric.
Set to manual for radio channels and test 1, 6, 11 in turn for the best.
Depending on the broadband you use, the TC must be in router or bridge mode.. tell us more if you need help for this.
If you think the TC is slowing you down, do a test with direct connection to the broadband modem and give us the speed comparison.. direct and via the TC ethernet or wireless.. tell us which though.. wireless will always be slower than ethernet.
If you have issues still with the hard disk it might need some work.. older models the disk might need to be erased .. please open any time machine backup and run a verify.

Other Questions:
*Can I use my Time Capsule for other things than only Time Machine (backup)?
Yes, but the TC is designed primarily for Time Machine.. if you store files, there is no method in the TC to back up those files.. do not make them the only store.
*Can I divide it in parts? (Backup, User)
You cannot partition a TC .. not without removing the disk. You can create a disk image.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
*Can I backup multiple devices on it? (Macbook Pro, iMac, Macbook Air etc.)
You can use multiple devices with TM. Be aware you need lots of free space for this to be successful. So you need to add up the total you want to backup on each computer.. and at least double it.

HT1218 i have a windows 8 computer that is not connecting with my time capsule wifi. my other macs and windows 7 systems do connect. is this a firmware update glitch? any suggestions?

I have a windows 8 computer that is connecting poorly via wifi and my Apple time capsule to the internet. My IMac an another windows 7 based computer are connecting fine. This started 6 days ago. And, the windows 8 machine connects well via a hard Cat-5 connection to the time capsule (I'm using that now) and worked well on a wireless netgrear system over the weekend.
I'm thinking an automatic firmware update may have caused this or perhaps i need the time capsule to use something other than a default address. Those are just guesses, but I could sure use some help. Thank you.

It is hard to figure where the issue is..
Certainly if windows updated the wireless driver that can mess things up no end..
What update happened 6days ago?
What TC do you have.. ?? If it is flat one and you updated to 7.6.4 do a factory reset and reconfigure.
If that doesn't work roll the firmware back to 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2 as these are generally superior to windows.
There is no update for TC gen5 yet.

How IPAD use the Printer which connected with the Time Capsule

I connnected a printer to time capsule. And I can use the printer in Windows. But I can't use it on IPAD and IPHONE.
So are there any solutions?

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. Wireless printers or printers connected to a Time Capsule are not necessarily AirPrint capable.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
The xPrintServer Home Edition will support a directly connected USB printer. The Network Edition will support any network printer.
These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

Connection with my Time capsule

Recently my MacBook Pro and my iMac keep loosing contact with my Time Capsule. In order to reconect them I have to reset the TC and sometimes it will take several goes to get it back. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you resolve it.

Setup the TC again..
Use short names No spaces and pure alphanumeric. for both TC and wireless.. which I guess you are using.. is this wireless, wired or both?? Set a different name for 5ghz.
Lock the wireless channels.
Make sure you use WPA2 Personal security with passkey of 8-12 pure alphanumeric characters.
If that doesn't fix it.. more info..
Does the issue happen on ethernet connection or only wireless?
How old is the TC? After 2-3years they seem to fade away.. in wireless or die suddenly on the power supply.

Time machine not connecting with new time capsule

Will someone please help? I have just recently joined the MAC family and purchased a new Macbook along with a new time capsule. It took unbelievably long to get things running (ie wireless access with 2 other PC based desktops and a PC laptop and shared network printing with an USB connected printer to the time capsule)- I thought macs were supposed to be easy?! Anyways, the only thing that I cannot figure out is how to properly set up time machine. I follow the instructions and turn time machine on, choose my backup disc (which is the time capsule), but when I click "use for backup", I keep getting the "connection failed- server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again" What am I supposed to do now? What is there to check when all of the other computers are able to access the internet (including the Macbook) and wirelessly print. The stupid timecapsule router function is working but the backup portion of it is not???!!!! Please help someone who is about to give the mac and the time capsule to the first person walking down the street - it has been a frustrating 2 days.

First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click
Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.
If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

HT4628 Why does internet connection on my Time Capsule cut out (on main but not guest network)?

Hi - I just got a time capsule 802.11n to use with my Macbook (OSX 10.6.8).
My wireless connectivity on my main (but not guest) network cuts out EVERY FRICKEN DAY multiple times. The internet phone connection + guest network still work, so the internet connection is there -- something with the main network is going wrong.
When I reset the time capsule (remove plug and plug back in), it works fine again.
Can anyone recommend a solution so this connectivity problem stops? Never had any issues with my Netgear wireless router, so at the moment, I'm really disappointed in this Apple product. Hopefully there is a setting I can switch to fix this (or something else simple one of you smart people out there can recommend)
Thanks,
JLG

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

Constantly losing connection with 500GB Time Capsule

I have a cable modem plugged into a fairly new 1TB Time Capsule. It is creating a wireless network (both a 2.4GHz, a guest network and a 5GHz network). I then have another (older) 500GB Time Capsule connected directly to my Mac Pro (which lacks an airport card). It is connecting to the 5GHz network as is an Airport Extreme downstairs (both of the time capsules are upstairs about 100 ft from one another).
Particularly recently (since activating "Back To My Mac" on both of the Time Capsules but also before, the older 500GB TC is losing its connection to the network all the time. The unit still appears in the Airport Utility and the light is green but my Mac Pro has no Internet access and the Airport Extreme stops working for music. Restarting the TC fixes the problem but only temporarily, often for only a few minutes to an hour.
What in the world can I do to fix this???
Thank you!!

Hi guys,
I hope you guys won't mind if I join this discussion.
I just posted a problem of mine on another thread, but after reading this thread I think Bob can really help me atleast with some advices.
My problem has been with connection drops. I've been experiencing this issue for quite some time now and late it's become more severe.
the internet service seems to be OK because when I connect my laptop to LAN line it works OK and speed is really fast.
So I'm narrowing down my issue to my network set up.
I use a Time Capsule as a wireless network and a Linksys modem/router.
I've downloaded iStumbler and my "samples" average out at -50dbm and -90dbm
Right now I've set up my Time Capsule so that it works only on 5ghz.
There's no competition for 5ghz in the area, but I see 21 wireless networks on 2.4ghz on iStumbler! I never realized there were so many!
Most of them have signal strength of about 15%, while mine averages out at 50%.
I sit about 15 feet from the TC and it has clear line of sight. No walls. The TC is close to a corner of the room.
I've tested using 3com router as a wireless network and signal strength seems stronger from the same position, but 3com's connection drop is much worse than Time Capsule.
Do you think the connection drop is coming from the interferences or my ISP?
If it's interference, what is your suggestion...?
I was thinking to get airport extreme, but now that I see this thread I hope you can provide some suggestions before I make my next move.
Thanks and sorry again for cutting into the middle of this discussion.
Hopefully my problem will also help Thread Creator fix his problem as well.

Lost internet connection with Firmware 7.1.1

Here is my network:
2 iMacs
2 Roku media players
2 VOIP phones with a base station (Siemens)
1 Airport Extreme with a LaCie HD connected on the USB port
1 Netgear modem with the WiFi turned off.
The 2 iMacs connect only wirlessly
The Voip phones have a base station which connect with a cable to the modem (so indirectly to the Mac base station)
When I updated to 7.1.1 one of my iMacs continued to connect to internet (the one I'm writing on now), but other one does not. It connect to the LaCie and to this iMac, but it won't connect to internet. The two phones won't connect either.
As I'm writing this, I have a faint suspicion that the problem might be with the modem and not the router, but I'll this anyway, cause maybe I'm wrong.
Any Ideas
Mark

In fact it seems the problem was not the Firmware, because everything is now working.
This is what I did change: the iMac that was not connecting to internet also had a problem with the MirrorAgent service left over from a .Mac subscription. After getting rid of Mirror Agent, all of the internet connections (including the VOIP phones and Rokus) started working againg.
Does anyone have any idea if there is a connection?

Lost Internet connection with last SW update

The software update on December 5th seems to have caused me to lose Internet connection on my S4. Nothing wrong with WiFi, my computer has connection no problem.

imcat,
I want to make sure that the device is up and running for you without any issues. Are you having issues with Wi-Fi internet connection or with the 4G LTE internet access on the phone? Please keep me posted.

Lost internet connection with WRT54G

Have had WRT54G router for a few years now and worked perfectly with a cable modem. Went on holiday for 2 weeks and switched the router and cable modem off. When I came back this week and turned them back on I can no longer connect to the internet from either of my laptops via wireless router. Can get local access from laptop to router but not to internet. Can connect OK from laptop to internet via cable modem direct. Have tried lots of things, including upgrading firmware, resetting automatic setup etc, but can't work out why it suddenly stopped working.
Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do not use easy setup. You need a wired connection between your router and computer. Log on to router using 192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer. Leave username blank and use admin for password. You may have to clone your mac address.
Setup your wireless connection. Change the network name from Linksys to something else. Go to wireless security and setup wpa encryption. Write down the settings. You will have to input these settings into your wireless connection.

APPLE SAID MY PHONE NEEDED A SETTING UPDATE DID THIS TODAY AND NOW i'VE LOST INTERNET CONNECTION WITH CARIER WHAT DO i DO TO FIX ?

This morning woke up and my ipone 4 said it needed a setting update and to plug the mains cable in as it would use a lot of power to do the update ? anyway it updated and thought nothing of it... came to use safari in afternoon and it come up with "you are not subscirbed to a cellular data service" my phone is on contract my hubbys phone has done the same thing ... we are both on contract but with different suppliers/carriers.. so it has to be a Apple problem ? whats the fix please ??

If you are unable to get 3g/4g service than that is an issue with your phone carrier not apple problem, they don't do those service. have you contacted your phone carrier? Have you check in settings to see if your cellular data is turned on?

Sharing an internet connection with Airport express and Time Capsule

Hi, I have been happily using a cable modem and a Time Capsule for my internet connection and wireless network. We recently added solar panels to our roof and the system needs to be connected to the internet so it can be monitored remotely. Calling Comcast is an exercise in frustration, and the solar people don't seem to know exactly how to do it, so I'm trying this.
We bought an Airport Express, thinking if it is connected with an ethernet cable to the solar system, it could somehow share the internet connection with the Time Capsule, or they could talk to each other. When I plug in the Airport Express, the only set-up option seems to be to set up a new network, which I don't think I want to do. Can anyone tell me how to set this up? Thank you!

Hi, Under Water.
You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.
