Latest Airport Utility v6.3 does not find my time capsule

After installing the latest vestion of the airport utility on my MBP I can no longer find my Time Capsule in the utility rendering unusable. Anyone else seeing this behavior or have any suggestion to correct the issue.

You really need to have the latest firmware on your devices (7.6.3). I am thinking your devices (whether it be an airport extreme or an airport timecapsule is not set up right, for what ever reason. Perhaps you need to make sure you are connected to the right network. Select the wifi icon in your menu bar and make sure you are in your network.
Are you able to see it using airport utility 5.6 ? (that is the version before 6.2 and 6.3). Although the latest airport utilty (6.3) in my opinion is much easier to work with.
Otherwise...
Are you comfortable hard resetting it... (holding a pen to the reset button for several seconds, while the light blinks amber).  This will temporially disconcect you from the internet and you will have to reset everything.

  • HT3728 airport utility does not see my time capsule

    I got a Time Capsule for Christmas, have hooked it up, turned it on, then the Airport Utility. The airport utility has not found it - I have reset it using the button on the back several times and still nothing. I have also restarted my computer, which is a new macbook pro, but nothing.
    Advice please! I am new to Mac and am quite frustrated, considering returning the Time Capsule, if I can ...

    That was not helpful of Apple at all, as this is a much trickier setup..
    I have just posted details in another thread. Longish post I am not sure how to reference a particular post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3528704?tstart=0
    Please follow those instructions to load 5.6 airport utility.. as you will find it much better.
    In your case you will need to do the same thing but on the airport setup.. which is another layer in to ethernet.
    But the idea is the same.. do not use automatic setup of the wireless IP settings.. you need to do it manually but it is relatively easy. Again you need to make sure your ISP is not using a 10.x.x.x address as many do.. the cheap skates are saving IP addresses. If they do that you will need to use manual setup of the TC as well.
    You will still want to do the setup of the TC by ethernet.. but can use wireless once it is done.
    Exactly as in the other thread, go to airport in network preference and go to the airport setup, then fix the IP address as I have shown.
    If you need more info try to ask specific questions .. screenshots also help.

  • HT4259 Airport Utility 6.1 does note show "extend wireless network" option.  How do I find the feature

    I have an airport extreme and the utility is 6.1.  I also have an airport express.  I'd like to use the airport express to extend the WiFi.  The "extend the wireless network" option does not show up in the Airport Utility 6.1.  How do I go about finding that option?  Is it something that doesn't need to be checked in Airport Utility 6.1?

    I'm having the same issuse, the only work around I have found is by using an older version of airport utility

  • HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 does not fix the old Airport Express!

    My old airport express does not work anymore - the Airport Utility 5.6 makes changes but after re-starting, the Airport Express cannot be found. Now I am forced to buy a new one. Not good (and sold out as many experienced the same apparently)

    Do you get any sort of error message when you try to install, and if so what does it say?

  • Airport utility 5.6  does not recognize my password

    Here's the deal. I have Airport Extreme and Airport Express. I moved our TV temporarily from the family room to the the guest room. The Airport Extreme is still in the family room next to the modem. Internet works fine for the computers. I have a Sony BD DVD player that allows access to Netflix. Outsmarting myself I remembered my Airport Express (called "extender" by Airport utility) so I connected the Sony to the Express thinking I could get Netflix like I did when it was with Airport Extreme. Patience, please. So I go to AD and I see a discussion that says I need Apple 5.6 in order for Extreme and Express to work together. Aha! Problem solved! Wrong. Airport Utility will not recognize my password for Airport. Other folks can come over and I give them the password and no problem. I am totally perplexed. Help, please.

    So now I have to try and find something called "device" for a password?
    Please review my answer again. I advised that you needed to look for a listing in KeyChain Access for the AirPort Base Station password. Something like this, for example:
    This is the password that you assigned to the AirPort Extreme device when you originally set it up.
    Is there a way to do a complete hard reset for both wireless devices and start over?
    If you want to delete the current settings for your AirPort devices and return everything to original factory settings, you can do so with a Factory Default Reset.
    The instructions for this are found in this Apple support document:

  • Airport Utility 5.6 does not download on my Lion 10.7

  • Airport Utility scans but does not see Airport Express

    Hi,
    When I open Airport Utility it scans looking for devices and finds none. Meanwhile. the yellow light is blinking on AE.
    We had Verizon over a week ago to change and set up a new wifi router, as the old one stopped working. The network name didn't change. Access to the web is fine, so there's nothing wrong with Airport. I can't figure it out.
    Thanks,
    Raphael

    Try connecting your Mac to the AirPort Express with an Ethernet cable to see if that allows AirPort Utility to see it.

  • Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

    I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
    One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
    I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
    But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
    What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
    Any ideas?

    Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

  • Time Machine does not see a Time Capsule external drive

    Time Machine will not recognize an external drive attached to my Time Capsule, even though it did so last week. How do I get it working again?
    Until last week, I was using Time Machine to back up to a Verbatim 2 TB drive attached to a Time Capsule. It occasionally hung, requiring me to restart the Time Capsule in order to get backups working again, so I bought a Seagate 2 TB drive to replace the Verbatim in case the problem was a flaky drive. Now I can't get Time Machine to recognize either disk when the disk is attached to the Time Capsule.
    Both disks are formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Both disks work correctly when I attach them directly to my Mac. When I attach either disk to the Time Capsule, Airport Utility shows the external drive, shows that sharing is enabled, and I can even mount the Time Capsule with Finder and see the external disk with Finder. But when I try to Select Disk in Time Machine Preferences, whether or not the Time Capsule is mounted with Finder, Time Machine Preferences doesn't see the disk—the only choices of disk are My User Account on the Time Capsule, and Other Time Capsule.
    Restarting my Mac and restarting the Time Capsule does not help. Software and firmware updates are (and have been) up to date. I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 and Time Capsule version 7.6.4.
    To reiterate, this was working a week ago. How do I get it working again?

    If nothing in your configuration has changed, you can try plugging the disks one at a time directly into your mac, run Disk Utility and perform a Repair Disk. If any errors are displayed, rerun Repair Disk until there are none. Then try them back on the Time Capsule.

  • Printer does not work with Time capsule

    I have a cannon mp960 which up until recently has been hooking up wirelessly to my mac via Time capsule. Yesterday I couldn't print. I was able to print when I directly hooked up the printer to the computer. When I attempt to switch it back it will sometimes find the printer and other times it doesn't. Sometimes it won't let me add the printer (I get an -300 error) other times it works fine.
    Could it be a hardware problem?
    Any thoughts about this issue?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    I found a solution to this problem. Open AirPort Utility>select the Time Capsule>Manual Setup>Select the "Printers" tab at the top>check the box in front of "Share printers over Ethernet WAN port">click update at the bottom and Voila!!

  • Spotlight Does Not Index My Time Capsule

    Hi all.
    I've been having this problem for about 6 months now. I've never been able to get Spotlight to pull up anything on my TC when I do a search.
    I've checked every forum on the web that has anything even close to this topic and I've tried all the suggestions (using Terminal, placing TC into the Spotlight "Privacy" tab and then removing it, etc..) and nothing works.
    My TC works fine, even though it is very slow on the wireless network, and I have nothing corrupted on it as far as I can see.
    So my question is this: Is it that TC simply DOES NOT work with Spotlight?
    Or is there something wrong with my Leopard? Everything else on my computer works perfectly fine.
    Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem and posted the very same question last week, but no one replied.
    Anyone from Apple?

  • HT201250 Time Machine does not recognised my Time Capsule

    I need help here..I have changed my password for the wi fi and now my Time Capsule has disappeared totally out of the network..It even now can not be traced

    OK, so it sounds like you have a Mac formatted drive that you have used previously for Time Machine, and disconnected it for a few weeks, and you can now see files on it OK from your Mac. However, when the system tries to run a Time Machine backup, you get an error message "Can't backup. Reformat the disk. Files can still be read but the drive can no longer be used for back-ups. Get a new external drive. Run back-ups as soon as possible."
    I have not seen this problem before, and would recommend that you look through the Time Machine troubleshooting information at http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    For instance, http://pondini.org/TM/B1.html or http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html could help in your situation.  I'm assuming (but probably shouldn't) that you've verified that your hard drive doesn't need repair (another Disk Utility function) and that there is still a Time Machine backup on that drive - look for the directory Backups.backupdb.
    I hope that helps.  If not, perhaps someone with more Time Machine knowledge will pop along soon to help you further.

  • WVC80N Linksys Cam does not recognize MAC Time Capsule router

    I cannot get the linksys cam to work with Apple Time capsule.  I do have a linksys router (WRT160n) and tried to feed off the time capsule but no luck.  Does mac make a web cam?

    I think you can call to mac support and open ports 80 and 1024 for the Camera.Assign the static ip address on the Camera in the range of your router.You can also,check this link.Hope it helps !!!
