I've updated Time Capsule firmware and now can't print wirelessly
I have recently updated my Time Capsule to Firmware 7.6.2 and now my computer no longer sees my Brother MFC9320-CW either wirelessly or via ethernet. I am able to hook the printer up to the Time Capsule's USB port and print in that way.
The printer does not retrive a DHCP address either wired or wirelessly, and when I set it staticly, it still does not respond to a ping. I hope I'm barking up the right tree here, as the firmware update on the time capsule is the only thing I can think of (aside from a network card failure on the printer, which its diagnostics insist is not the case) that is causing this.
My next step will be to set up a test WiFi network with a third-party router to remove the printer (network card failure option) from the equation.
To Downgrade Your Time Capsule Firmware:
Open Airport Utility: Applications → Utilities → Airport Utility
Find your device in the left-hand column and select the “Manual Setup” button
In the “Summary” window that pops up click on the word “Version”
In the pop up box that comes up next to the “Upload Version” select the previous version
Click “OK”
Your Time Capsule will restart and be as good as new!

I have a Lexmark s405 printer and I've just updated the firmware and still can't print wirelessly from my iPad. Why?
That model doesn't appear to support AirPrint (those that do are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356)
Have you checked to see if Lexmark have their own app in the store, or there are third-party apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with it -
Upgraded to Yosemite and now can't print wirelessly
Upgraded my 1yr old Mac Pro to Yosemite and now can't print wirelessly to my Epson XP-405 through my wireless home hub! I've tried re-installing new printer drivers etc, throwing away preferences etc... these sometimes work for a single print then goes back to "Printer can't be found". My older iMac doesn't seem to have this problem (yet - fingers crossed!) and prints ok on exactly the same wireless network.
Any suggestions gratefully received.If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure. -
Turned Firewall on and now can't print wirelessly
I have 2 new macbook pros. Have been printing wirelessly fine. Decided to turn firewall on and now neither will print wirelessly. Turned firewall off and rebooted. FInally, after several tries of deleting and adding the printer, I finally got it added back. However, when I try and print here is the error message it get:
Error: /Library/Printers/Konica_Minolta?mc2450DL/rastertokm2430dl.app/
Contents/MacOs/rastertokm2430dlfailed
What the heck? Just by turning the firewall on and off I get this mess? HElp???If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Time capsule settings changed now can't view files
Hi,
I changed my settings on my time capsule accidently and now I can't view my files. I click on the time Capsule in windows explorer and all I get is .com.apple.airport.sharepoint. I got this once before but can't remember how to fix it. I can see my TC files from my Ipad but not from my Windows 7 computer.
Help!!The address is typed into the only place you can type addresses .. that is the address bar..
If it cannot reach the TC hard disk then you need to do some more fundamental checks.
1. Reset the TC to factory and start over.. Use all SMB names. As already stated.. all names must be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do it from a Mac or iOS with airport app.
2. Plug the windows computer into the TC by ethernet. Make sure the LED turns on .. connectivity on both the computer and the TC. Make sure the PC has an IP address from the TC by opening a command prompt and typing.. ipconfig
It should come up 10.0.1.x (x being any number).
3. To make sure you have bonjour simply load it again.. easiest is to download and install the windows version of Airport Utility.. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
If it refuses to install or say it is already loaded then you already have it.
4. Make sure you set the file sharing page to Guest access on and workgroup to WORKGROUP.
5. Now type the name or the IP again into the address bar of windows explorer.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress.
You do not type what I put.. you type the actual name or actual IP. Clearly \\TCIPaddress will not work.. unless you named the TC TCIPaddress which would be rather odd. For example if the TC is default.. 10.0.1.1 then you type \\10.0.1.1 .. just to be clear. -

I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail. There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software. I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are. -
I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?
If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself. -
I set up time capsule and now can't connect wirelessly
I got home with my new Apple and Time Capsule last Friday and was unable to connect to the net. I called Cox cable and they came out and got me up and running. The yellow light on the Tine Capsule kept blinking but I was able to connect and thought it was just a glitch.
Today I added a printer and, after a few headaches, got it up and running. Then I tried to set up the automatic backup process and thought I was OK. Now, however I can't connect wirelessly at all. I keep getting the message "None of your preferred networks are available." I have a neighbor with a wireless network and it sees that, so something is going on. I also am able to connect directly to my modem and get connected. The yellow light is still blinking!
I have tried re-starting the computer, turning off both the modem and Time Capsule, but nothing works. I am beginning to think I have a defective Time Capsule but the store I got it from is two hours away, so if anyone can offer a suggestion, I would be most grateful.I just went through the same deal. I'm not exactly sure how I did it, but I eventually got it to work, and even have Back to My Mac in play. For the next ten minutes, anyway.
So here's the deal. These are some of the things I did that you might try.
First, there is a big issue regarding how you presently connect to the internet - DSL modem? Cable modem? A dixie cup and a piece of thread? Time Capsule is both a router and a wireless base station, so whatver you're using now might be performing router duty as well, and screwing things up. I replaced my AT&T 2Wire device (modem, router, and wireless base station in one box) with a DSL modem. Oh, and when I was prompted, I assigned the public IP address for my broadband connection (the one that begins with 70.xxx.xxx.xxx) to the TIme Capsule, instead of having Time Capsule get one of those 192.xxx.x.xxx or 10.x.x.x IP addresses from DHCP.
The modem has to operate in "bridge mode." Whatever the heck that means.
Also, in configuring time capsule, I initially used an ethernet cable attached to a computer (in this case, my MacBook Pro). It seemed easier to get it going that way, and once it had managed to connect, it made it easier to get on just using the wireless connection.
When you're prompted, you want to create a new network, although it might be helpful to take it one step at a time and keep your present network up and running and let Time Capsule join that deploying - initially - just the wireless backup capability.
Oh, and regarding restarting all the hardware, I did that too. But with Time Capsule, if you're not already doing it, you should not just restart the device, but do a reset. On the back of the device if you look carefully toward the right you will see a little pinhole. Get a paper clip and depress the little button inside that little pinhole until the front light begins to blink rapidly. That resets Time Capsule and was the only way I could get the thing to bite at the beginning.
So much for Mac's just working. Although once they do . . . . -

Updated Apple ID email and now can't find my older iCloud backups.
I recently changed my email address and now can't find my older iCloud backups. Surely they are still there, aren't they? Any ideas how to locate them? I am missing some important data I need to restore.
Hi El Boz,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you simply changed the information or email address associated with your Apple ID (as opposed to creating an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article helpful:

Changed printers, now can't print wireless from laptop
Hi. I changed to a HP printer from an Epson. Now I can't print wirelessly from my laptop through my Airport Express. I get a message that the printer is offline.
Went to the HP site & got latest drivers. And there was an Apple update for the HP. I can print when the laptop is connected to the printer by the USB cable.
When I first set up the AP Express 2 years ago, I was able to print wirelessly without any problems.
any ideas?
ThanksGot it fixed. Went to the HP site again & they had info for OS10.5 that worked.

Time capsule+iMac and now a macbook
have iMac desktop with time capsule for >1yr. just added macbook. did the migration. does TC back up both as separate entities so it duplicates info/files or does it merge it all in to 1. seems weird that only 85gb avail out of 463gb. don't recall remaining avail space to be that low.

I have a similar problem in that I need to add another computer to a "full" time capsule.
I had my March 08 TC dies and was eventually replaced by apple.
I moved the data for my MBpro and iMac (both Snow Leopard) onto the new TC. Then let time machine do its bit. This resulted in newer files being written and older ones retained.
I now wish to re-add an old PowerBook (Leopard) back up to it, TC however gives an error that there is not enough space to backup the required files. (The TC is 1TB and has enough room for all of the current files stored on all computers.)
Should the time capsule not delete older backups on my other computer sparse bundles to make room for the new computer's?
Do I have to manually delete files from the MBPro or iMac to accomplish this?

Updated iPad to iOS 7 and now can't print to printer?
iPad connected with printer prior to updating to iOS 7, now can't find it. Turned printer on/off, moved closer to printer and tried again. Help!?!
Hey KTonn,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with AirPrint. The following article provides relevant troubleshooting steps:
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
1. Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
2. Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
3. Has the latest firmware version installed.
4. Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
5. Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
Notes:
- AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
- Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
Thanks,
Matt M.
