Boot into recovery (hold ⌘R on boot), then select "Reinstall OS X", then when prompted, transfer data from your Time Capsule.

Connecting External Hard Drive to Time Capsule - In Finder but not Disk Utility

Hi,
So I've got a bit of a problem. I have connected my LaCie 2d Quadra External Hard Drive into my Time Capsule via USB for the simple purpose of making it wireless, as well as allowing both my husband and I to access the files on it. It works flawlessly on my husband's MacBook Pro: Shows up as an icon on the desktop as well as in Finder and Disk Utility. However, on mine I can access it via the Time Capsule in Finder (as a shared file), but it does not show up in Disk Utility nor on the Desktop. I tried installing the LaCie Desktop Manager, but, although it downloaded and installed fine, when I went to open it I received the error: "No LaCie Desktop Manager Compliant Device Found". I am assuming that is because it really is only even recognizing it at all in the Finder because it is a shared file, but not actually recognized as a Drive. And that explains why it is not on the Desktop or Disk Utility. Annoyingly, I can't drag the shared file onto my desktop either. Well I can, as an alias, but it says original not found when I try to access it.
Obviously, I would like to access the LaCie drive on my desktop wirelessly as my husband does, the way it does when I plug it in directly. If I connect it via USB directly into my MacBook, it works fine. So really it is just a matter of getting it up and running wirelessly, which I know it can do because it is doing it on my husband's. I am wondering if it is a Lion issue, as I am running Lion and my husband is running Snow Leopard? But then again...it does work with my Lion if I plug it in directly...sigh...
Here are our details:
Me: 2008 MacBook, running Lion
Hubby: 2008 MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm bewildered!

On your Lion MacBook, click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
Click Finder, then click Finder Preferences, then click the General tab
Under the heading of "Display these items on the desktop" make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to "Connected Servers"
Close Finder Preferences
Open Macintosh HD or the Finder
Look to see if the Time Capsule icon is displayed under the SHARED heading in the Finder
Click on the Time Capsule icon and folders representing the Time Capsule disk and your Lacie disk should appear to the right
Double click on the Lacie folder to mount the drive on the desktop
You may need to click Connect As at the upper right of the center window if your disk requires a password. Once the password is saved, you should not have to enter the password in the future.

Mackeeper has detected a virus in the time capsule back up - it is not possible to dele - it ite the file. Do I find time capsule in finder and delete the whole computer back up, then crate a fresh back up? Is that the only solution please?

mackeeper has detected a virus in the time capsule backup, it is not possible to delete the infected file. Do I mount time capsule in finder and then consign to junk the whole computer backup then create a fresh backup? Is that the only solution please.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage. The overwhelming majority of Macs I come across have the MacKeeper installer file already present in their Downloads folder, often multiple copies of it. The downloaded file itself can do nothing until it is opened and installed, and the above setting (known as Gatekeeper - not to be confused with MacKeeper) will prevent that from occurring.

HT6065 I installed this update and I no longer can access my AirPort Time Capsule via Finder

When I click on 'AirPort Time Capsule' in Finder, Finder crashes.
I have hundreds of films on a USB drive connected to my AirPort Time Capsule and I no longer can access them on my home network....
Luckily AirPort Utiity still works and I could restart Capsule but no improvement.
Likewise Time Machine still works...

Hi!
You will need to get your Sync Key from your Android Device and then follow this simple steps:

Pages 5.0 missing connecting text boxes/Old version not in Time Capsule

I have upgraded to Mavericks ... also Pages 5.0 ... I am prepping my year end documents and when opening the docs, notice that I have to UPGRADE the document to work with this version. Once in, I see there are many features that are broken. For me, the connected text boxes are the most disturbing problem. I wanted to open the doc with Pages 4, but that is not possible. The file has been changed. I went into Time Capsule to find the older version so that I could restore it and open it with the older version of Pages, but it's been deleted from history .... really? ... my documents have been destroyed, and the history wiped out. This is why I switced from Windows. Deep breath ... is there some help out there?

I've tried it a couple of times now, albeit with test documents I made specially. Here are the steps again...
Open it in Pages 5 and go to File > Revert to > Browse all versions...
Use the Time Machine interface to restore the version before you opened in Pages 5. You'll get a repeat of the warning about how your document is going to be messed up, but you can OK that.
Close the document.
You should now be able to open the same document in Pages '09.

Can use time capsule wifi but can't find time capsule in finder.

I have a 3TB time capsule that I bought about a month ago. I can use the WIFI but all of a sudden I can't find time capsule in finder. How do I locate it?
Thanks in advance for the help.

It is the Mavericks OS usually.
Try a simple reboot of the TC.. that is often enough. No luck..
Try a full network restart in correct order.. ie modem.. wait 2min.. TC .. wait 2min.. clients.
No luck..
Manually mount the TC using Go, Connect to Server in Finder.
Type in AFP://TCname.local or AFP://TCIPaddress
where you use the actual network name in place of the TCname.. ie not the name on the TC.. unless it is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. which I do strongly advise. But its network name which is without spaces and no illegal characters which apple recommends you use.. eg apostrophe.
So Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is not the real network name.
It will become fred_blogs_airport_time_capsule which is a bad name still.
Easier use the IP, eg 10.0.1.1 for TCIPaddress.

Can't see Time Capsule in finder using Yosemite OS

I'm using Yosemite 10.10.1 on my MacBook Pro and I just purchased a 1TB time capsule to replace my Belkin wireless router and WD external hard drive. I have my wireless network configured and am able to connect to the internet/connect wireless printer, but I cannot access Time Capsule in Finder. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Yosemite.
Open up System Preferences, then open Sharing
Check to see if the name of the Mac appears correctly....and there is not a (2), (3), (4) etc appearing as part of the name.
Some users have reported that turning off the firewall on their Macs has helped with this issue.
It may...or may not....help to make sure that the settings for IPv6 are set to Link Local Only on your Mac
Open System Preferences.....
Open Network > Click on WiFi > Click on Advanced > TCP/IP tab > Configure IPv6 set to Link Local Only > OK > Apply
Network > Click on Ethernet> Click on Advanced > TCP/IP tab > Configure IPv6 set to Link Local Only > OK > Apply

Time capsule in finder problems

Dear All
i am being particularly slow with this and would love some guidance. My time capsule has been set up for some time and time machine is backing up automatically as it should. All's good.
My confusion arises because i can see my time capsule in finder under "shared" but during a back up i can also see the time capsule under "devices" and they would appear to have different data on them. 'Shared' has the sparesbundle file while the 'devices' one has backup on it. I spent some time moving data from my mac to the 'devices' disk (to use as an external HD) and then realised that i can only see the devices disk when an actual back up is occuring. So i decided to copy this data to the 'shared' disk as this one was always visible in finder. What exactly am i doing here?
Finally i have plugged another external HD into the time capsule but am unable to see it in finder. i can see it in disk utility though??
PLease help a newbie

That is your Time Machine sparsebundle.
'Shared' has the sparesbundle file while the 'devices' one has backup on it.

You shouldn't be doing this. Create a separate folder to place those files in.
Anything in the sparsebundle should only be for the TM backup.
Finally i have plugged another external HD into the time capsule but am unable to see it in finder. i can see it in disk utility though??
Click on the Shared -> TC -> TC Disk. It should be there. The HDD should be formatted HFS+ or FAT/FAT32 for it to be view. I do not think it can read/write an NTFS drive.

Why doesn't disk utility recognize time capsule when finder does recognize it as a shared device?

Why doesn't disk utility recognize time capsule when finder does recognize it as a shared device?

I don't have a TC, but I hate Network solutions, as there is no way to repair them!
Not wishing to look up what a TC can do, is there any wayto connect it directly???

PS CC 2014 not showing up in Mac Finder after update

Just did the update/install of PS CC 2014, and while I can see the application in my applications folder if I do a spotlight search, it does not show up in Mac Finder when I go to my applications folder. Actually this is the case for several CC 2014 apps after the update. For example, Muse CC 2014 and InDesign CC 2014 show up in my applications folder, but not Illustrator CC 2014 or PS CC 2014. Anybody else experience this and/or have a resolution? I did a restart after the cc 2014 app updates to see if that would fix anything, but it didn't.
It's annoying to have to do a spotlight search to reinstall all my plug-ins and to just launch the app.

Craig, thanks for the reply, but it's not a matter of updating the dock icons after the update. I realize I need to drag the new CC 2014 apps to the dock if I want to access them there. It's more of an issue where all the CC 2014 app updates except Muse and InDesign weren't showing up in my HD > Applications folder where every other app on my machine resides. Instead, most of the CC 2014 updates got installed to my User > Applications folder for some bizarre reason. Those updates are the ONLY apps in that folder.
Anyone know why they would get installed there instead of the normal HD > Applications folder?

I have a disk inserted into my MAC that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How do I eject it?

I have a disk inserted into my MacBook Pro that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How can I get it "ejected?" (I've checked in system preferences under CDs & DVDs and did not find a solution.)

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Actual date hours PROBLEM - Displaying or not "Show time" in "User preferences"

Hello,
This is my current issue. I have a 5 days calendar with hours 7AM -> 8PM.
AM ->When I check "show time" in "user preferences", I show the good hours in ES and EF. When I apply AS and AF, AUTOMATICALY the good default hours are applied if i change the date (7AM -> 8PM)...
But, if i check, "do not show time" in "user preferences" and then i apply AS and/or AF changing date, PRIMAVERA apply automaticaly 00:00 in the hour ans "forget" the hours of the calendar...
It represent a big big problem for me, first of all in the gantt representation.
Any idea to fix this issue ?
Thanks

I think you need to do setting in grantt chart view setting..as Day,Week,Month in stead of user preference as " do not show time".

Interesting. Googling, I see that someone posted that on these discussions as well:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3331216?start=0&tstart=0
which mentions what I recall: that Airdrop (as implemented by Apple) would create an on-demand ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection, even if you were already connected to an access point. Normally, you can't connect to multiple Wi-Fi networks, thus the reason for Airdrop only supported on newer Wi-Fi chips.
And Apple's KB:

Mac can not see time capsule

i bought Time capsule over Amazon .Air port works fine , but my mac can not see time capsule,,,sometime does , but most of the time not...
It is a problem with time capsule i have 2 T new generation

You don't mention what type of Mac you have, but is there any way you can move it around to see if that affects the problem? If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item, you should see a value labeled "RSSI" that is the strength of the wireless signal. A value closer to zero is stronger. For example, -30 is decent but -80 is poor.
By the way, you don't seem to have declared any of your system details in your profile or didn't select your details to be included in your post. Those can help people give you correct advice. To update that, click on "Your Stuff" near the top of a window on these discussion groups, then on "Profile". Scroll down to "My Products" and either edit an existing one or add a new one.

MacBook is connected but Airport utility shows Time Capsule as not present

Folks
I get a strong signal from the Time Capsule, and internet works great, but my Airport Utility 6.2 does not show is as present.
I'm using OS 10.8.3. Is there some kind of updated I am missing? Same issue on both my iMac and MacBook Pro...

Did you reboot the whole network.. ??
Restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. Client computers. 2min gap.
Any luck?
If not post back and we can do some more but this is getting worse with every update.
It works like magic.. on Snow Leopard and 7.5.2 firmware.. everythng else has been downhill.
