I NEED TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD OF MY TIME CAPSULE BACK UP AND THE WIFI

Hello,
I have a 1 T time capsule which i use to back up and for wifi.. i am fearing of it being abused for cecking out my data. How can change it and prevent this from happening in the future..
Thanks
miks

You can encrypt your backup but this is a very long process.
You may do better to simply wipe the backup and start again.

Changing wireless password is very easy.. open the airport utility.. click on TC then edit.. and then wireless tab.. and type in a new password.. update.

I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

A universal may work but reliability tends to be poor..
You are much better using another airport .. extreme or express.. even a second hand older one.
Or do not use wireless bridge or repeater.. simply run ethernet or use EOP adapters to a second WAP run independently of the main router.. it is far more reliable and far faster solution .. wireless bridge/repeater will halve your wireless speed.

How do i find the password for my time capsule

putting on a new computer and cannot find password

Are you able to see the configuration settings for the Time Capsule using AirPort Utility on your Mac, if you click on the Time Capsule icon and then click Edit in the smaller window that appears?

Question to the Power Users RE: Time Capsule Disk Mgmt and Security

I was real excited to get the Time Capsule, but now since I have it I have to say its lack of security and disk management features are disappointing.
I am thinking of giving up on Time Machine backups completely (I have never been thrilled with TM) and using the Backup 3.0 that is available to .Mac users. If I backup one machine using TM to the TC, I can login from a different machine and modify/delete the backups, this is not secure from accidental or malicious access.
What I am hoping to do is to create logical partitions on the drive and use a program like PGP to encrypt the disk. This so far has been a real pain in the @$$ because of the lack of disk mgmt with the TC.
I have used the OS X disk utility to create a disk image (takes forever) and it does not automagically mount itself, so PGP will not recognize it is a disk. I then decided to start over and use the Airport Utility to erase the disk (this has been running for about 12 hours now, and is still flashing amber). I am not sure if this TC is DOA or just slow as cr@p.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make an out of the box TC more secure, please share.

Have you been able to get all of your applications to recognize the disk image as a place to save/create/modify files?
All applications? Only tried some - but since I was able to copy 56GB of iTunes content to the drive and access it with TuneRanger - I am fairly certain it is universally available.
With the encrypted disk image, can you decrypt that image from another machine with a passphrase? I believe the answer is no, which is why I want to use PGP to encrypt the disk image.
I believe the image is not machine restricted. The only encrypted image I have is on a USB memory stick. I will have to try and open it on my other mac.
I did create a 50GB disk image successfully, however I changed my mind and decided I wanted to create an image using the entire TC disk.
I deleted the disk image I had created, as well as the TM backups on the disk. I then used the Airport Utility to do a "quick" erase of the disk, and now 36 hours later it is still erasing the disk.
That sounds wrong.

Time Capsule Backing Up All The Time

Lately it seems like the time capsule is backing up constantly.
I thought the idea was it would back up when the system was idle? Now it seems when I have the most heavy network use, it is just non-stop backup, tying up bandwidth and slowing down the network in the process.
Is that normal and I just never noticed it before? Is there a way to make it more sensitive to CPU and system use, particularly network intensive activities? It's actually becoming unmanageable.
And it's not like I can just stop it, because that takes time too. Then the very next time I look up, it's backing up again.
Frustrating!

My Epson 645 printer can't see the SSID from my Time Capsule but computers and iPhones can. Any explanation/fix?

I could understand better if none of my devices could see the AirPort, but everything works fine except my Epson printer and my Canon printer--they simply can't see the SSID when I try to set them up.
I've had them a year, they have been working fine until today. I simply can't explain the printers couldn't se it, but everything else can.

Power cycle the printers themselves is perhaps the most important.
The wifi outage is related.. no doubt about that.
Sometimes Apple names are difficult for non apple (ie stuff made by anybody but apple) to work with.
If you have no luck.. full reset is the order of the day.
Use all names that meet SMB network standards.. that means short,, no spaces.. and stick with pure alphanumeric.
Apple wizard chooses your name.. plus device name.. so you end up with a name like
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
This is hopelessly wrong.. reduce it to FBATC
The wireless name can be even worse..
When things go wrong.. setup names that are different for both bands.. and put the band in the name.
So tc24ghz and tc5ghz work well for me. I often will have a gen number in there as I repair them and need to know which is which so tcgen324ghz is meaningful.. note no full stop.. no punctuation.. no spaces.. you could use other characters like dash or underscore.. but like I said.. stick with simple.
Last bit is channels.. wireless is subject to interference.. one thing that can happen is someone starting up a wifi device near you.. (or a microwave with a leaky door etc). Stick to fixed channels.
The idea is to remove the level of voodoo as much as possible.. ie from 80% to a mere 66%..
All wireless is voodoo but by controlling as much as you can.. you can reduce it slightly.

My time capsule just stopped and the power light is off. i checked and there is power going to it.

I noticed that I could not get on to the internet as it said there was no internet connection. A look at my time capsule showed no green or yellow light. I do have a good internet connection and there is good power to the unit. It just died. it is about 1.5 years old. Thoughts?

It is now dead.. thanks to Apple's poor heat venting design.
Leave it disconnected for a few hours to cool off and it may restart.. in which case be ready to drag any data off it you need.
Otherwise you need to get it repaired. apple won't do this.. but I have a bunch of repairers who do.

If you have apple care on any computer, Apple will replace it for you. up to 3years old.
There are many posts on the problem, both here and world wide. Just google.

How to check the contents of my time capsule back up

My new Time Capsule has treid to back up my MAcBook since yesterday. In the Time MAchine list, I can find the folder but not the size of the back up or any other details which files etc. were backed up. The symbol in the upper part oif the sreen (what is hte name) is working or not.
Time Capsule is also quite hot.
I have connected the Time Capsule with ethernet to MacBook, not to my modem. Is that correct?
BR maritafromhelsinki

You also access it from the finder just double click on the time machine icon then you can see the backups on the drive right click on a backup and select get into. Or you can open airport utility and click on the manual button, when your get to the next screen click on the disk up top then click on the time capsule in the window it will get you info.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. I'm getting rather fed up.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

I have the following error message: Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/test's MacBook.sparsebundle" is already in use

time machine has been running smoothly for years- until now. i changed the name of the computer, and now i get the error message. any ideas? d

I have had more than 1 customer with this error recently. I believe the fix is to unplug the TIme Capsule (I was told you should leave it unplugged about 20 minutes, but can't tell you why that amount of time) then plug the Time Capsule back in and your problem should be solved.

The fan on my time capsule is on

the fan on my time capsule is on all the time and is very hot

As they get older the power supply on the early ones becomes less efficient.. Also the series 1 with 1TB and some later ones, used a full speed Hitachi drive.. great drive but boy do they run hot. If the fan is on continuously you should get an error in the airport utility that the TC is overheating.
Turn it off now.. it will damage it keeping it running. If still in warranty get it replaced if possible. I am not sure how Apple treat it if it is overheating continously and not actually broken down. If they insist it has to break, sad to say this, remove any useful files and throw a blanket over it.. It won't take long!! Move files off and on to it continuously.
Out of warranty get it repaired but it will have to be outside official Apple channels as they will not open them. It is a sealed unit in Apple's eyes.
An external power supply will do wonders.

I have been trying to get help from Adobe for 3 days. I have sent a message through "Get Support", 2 days ago, but no one has contacted me. I have tried by phone, but no one will help me.
