MB Pro tries to connect to Time Capsule when away from home network resulting in annoying error message - how do I fix this?
I have a 13" MB Pro late 2011 model running Mountain Lion with 2.5 ghz and 8 GB ram. I have a TC setup at home as wireless network and my phones, ipads, PCs, and MB Pro all connect to it with no problem. The problem is when I leave home and connect to another wireless network my MB Pro tries to connect to the TC about every 15 seconds and a message pops up saying it could not connect to the server "Time Capsule" and it forces me to click ok. As you can imagine, clicking ok every 15 seconds makes it impossible to use the computer. I have tried turning off time machine but it makes no difference.
I have tried to read other posts and could not find the answer. Only reason I state this is because I once asked a question and there was another post out there and several got mad at me. I'm just trying to figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Time Capsule error message when away from home network
I have a Time Capsule on my home network. When I am home, my MacBook backs up to it with Time Machine perfectly. However, when I am at work or away from home, I continually (every hour or so) get an error message stating the following:
The was a problem connecting to the server "OurTimeCapsule.local".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
The problem isn't that I don't understand this error. I know perfectly well that my Time Capsule isn't available on my work network, and I don't expect it to be. Prior to installing Lion I never saw this error, and with every update I hope it will be fixed, but I still see it with 10.7.2. Obviously Apple knows that people using Time Capsules to back up their laptops will not always be on the network that contains the Time Capsule - they even made changes in Lion to save backups to a local disk in times when the Time Machine disk isn't available.
What I want to do is supress the error somehow - it is a modal dialog that sits on top of whatever I'm doing and is extremely disruptive, especially when giving a presentation. Anyone know how to stop this error?As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.
There was a similar message, with reference to type "file" in the URL, but this one is differnent.
Have you ever used a 3rd-party utility, or followed any instructions to edit some files, to change Time Machine's default behavior? -

Contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click ‘More Produces & Services’. In the next page select ‘Apple ID’, and then 'Other Apple ID Topics’, then ‘The topic is not listed’. Tell the person who answers it is an issue related to your Apple ID and you shouldn't be charged for the call.

My time capsule stopped giving WIRED devices IP addresses (Wireless is fine). How do I fix this?
I have several devices on my network, and am using a 2TB Time Capsule.
All of my wireless devices work fine- including 2 MBP's, iPad's, iPhones, etc. However, none of my WIRED devices (Xbox, Printer, PC's) are connecting anymore. To be specific, none of them are getting IP addresses. This is obviously an issue, since I'd like all my devices to be networked.
No changes have been made to my Time Capsule in probably 6 months. I literally woke up this morning and none of my wired devices were connecting (eg, my wife complained that the printer wasn't working).
None of the devices are faulty, as I was able to bypass the Time Capsule and plug directly into the cable modem, which then provided an IP address.
I am not aware of how to troubleshoot a Time Capsule. This is the first time I've ever had an issue. Can anyone offer some next steps? (I've already restarted it several times, tried checking Airport Utility but there doesn't seem to be any option on configuring DHCP options).
Thanks,
GregIf you call Apple, the first thing that they will ask you to do is power off all devices on the entire network.
Wait at least 30 minutes. Longer will not hurt.
Start the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself.
Then start the Time Capsule the same way.
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up.
Check the network and report on your results. -
my friend was recently in a car crash, and since then, he's ipod classic (180gb, 7th generation i think) has been on the fritz. from what he has told me, when plugged in, it says it is corrpted, but then it goes to an error (which i cannot identify right now).any solutions, or do i need to come back with more info?
Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

Firefox times out when loading, I made it an exception with my security, how can I fix this?
I loaded Firefox while on my school browser and it opened without a problem. When I switched to my browser at home it would not load saying it took to long. I opened my security and listed Firefox as an exception but no success. I reinstalled Firefox at home but still no success.
go to '''TOOL'''S then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' tab then '''NETWORK''' tab then in '''CONNECTIONS session''' click '''SETTINGS''' and click '''''auto-detect proxy settings for this network''''' then click '''OK''' to save it, close the Options menu, exit firefox and restart-it.
thank you

How do I connect to my email when away from home?
My phone is set to Settings/Wifi/to my connection at ATT; my Cellular Data is on; my Data roaming is on...yet I cannot connect to my email account when I'm out walking my dog. Why?

I have let it close down put it keeps appearing
I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

How do I fix this on my phone so I can access the app store and the new passbook app?
Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. -
Trying to connect Airport time capsule to my leopard iOS mac. Downloaded software for time capsule for snow leapard/leopard but still says I need more software. What do I need? I have a 10.5.7 iOS (Leopard). It connects to wifi at speeds in the airport and has plenty of storage capacity and memory.
If your Time Capsule looks like this..
Please review the System Requirements to set up and administer the device.....
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and Airport Utility 6.3 or higher

How do I decode the error messages?The information from a Google search indicates the error is generated when connecting to a PC share. So this may be some kind of error generated by the NAS' operating system. In any event I cannot find such an error number associated with OS X so if it is an OS X error number then it's not publicly documented. I would still think Synology's tech support should be able to help you since it is their device. If they sent you here then they're passing the buck.

Hi there, I am trying to connect to my server at work from home using a vpn connection. It connects fine and the time ticks along, but when i click go - connect to server, it comes up with connection failed. Please help!
... when i click go - connect to server, it comes up with connection failed.
If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that. -
Hi trying to set up new Time Capsule, it says I need a newer version of Airport Utility, how do I get this?
You need to be running at least the Lion (10.7.5) operating system or higher on your Mac, or using an iPhone or iPad with AirPort Utility installed on the device to set up the Time Capsule.
Check the System Requirements for the Time Capsule to confirm.
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3 or higher

I am trying to connect my new ipad to my BT Home Hub but keep getting a message saying that I am unable to join the Home Hub network. Any advice?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
