Mountain Lion installed Time Capsule not seen...

After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Capsule does not exist anymore... I use TC as a router, plugged directely to my MacPro, Mac Mini, and a Wi-Fi network to my 2 MacBookPro. After this instalation, I cannot "see" Time Capsule anymore... my iPhone does not accept my wi-fi... my MacBookPros too...
Please what happened? I cannot even creat a new Wi-Fi, because at the system preferences, network, it is no longer there (wi-fi)
The internet itself is working, I do not know how, because the green light in TC is on, I cannot "see" TC but the internet is there... How is it possible? Time Machine also do not exist...
Any help will be perfect.
Thanks in advance

Thank you but I returned the device. I was not aware that it is not possible to use unless it has an internet connection. That is not at all what I had in mind. Have a good year!
Maybe they were using imprecise terminology. Seems to happen a lot.
You can use Time Capsule without any Internet (WAN, or outside) connection. But you can only reach Time Capsule through a network (LAN, or local) connection - Ethernet or wireless. I guess a lot of people need to learn that "the Internet" and "a network" are not the same thing.

  • Loaded Mountain Lion and time capsule no longer works, airport utility can't be configured, back ups have stopped, sparse bundle in use errors occur, what a mess!!!!

    Should Airport Utility now be defunct for my time capsule because I have upgraded OS to Mountain Lion? I have tried every fix I can think of but AU will not set up. I'm also getting repeated time machine back up failures and now I have a new "sparsebundleinuse" error which is totally useless to me, I have no idea what a sparse bundle is, I have no idea what it's suddenly being used by and there's no information to say what to do about it. Apple is killing me here!!!

    I've tried to but on the install for Airport Utility 6, after the download I get through the introduction then the license then I get "airport utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported" and that's it, no more options!?

  • After Mountain Lion install Time Machine states no existing backup

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and can use "Enter Time Machine" to see previous back ups.  However, the other time machine related windows (e.g. the control panel) state there is no existing back up and, accordingly, no last back up time.  I am concerned that if I perform a back up it will wipe the existing record as it does not seem to recognise the existing back up even though it will eventually enter it when I click "Enter time machine".  I would appreciate any advice from those who understand time machine better than I do.  Thank you!

    No, not a problem. 
    Is the disk shown as the destination for your backups?   Have you disconnected it since the last backup? If so, the info on the TM window just hasn't been updated.  See #B3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • After Mountain Lion install,  Mail does not import

    I installed Mountain Lion over a clean installation of Lion. All went well. Entered my AppleID and password, which work fine on my iPhone and MacBookAir. Mail 6.0 (iCloud server) does not import my old mail. iCal and Contacts imported fine. Your help is greatly appreciated!

    Under what circumstances does mail "not leave the mails on the server"?
    If you mean that you delete them (or move them out of the inbox) on one device and then find them not in the inbox on the server when you look from another device, that's how IMAP is supposed to work. (Note that the deletion or moving might be the result of rules you have set up in Mail.)
    If you mean something else, please explain your issue in more detail.

  • After I downloaded Mountain Lion my Time Capsule has virtually stopped backing up. It took 4 hours to back up 600MB out 68 GB

    Hi Everyone,
    My last backup using my MacBook Pro to my Time Machine was July 23,2012 my OS was Lion. Then I downloaded Mountain Lion and it 4 hours to backup 600MB out of 68GB. I tried agian and noticed something I have never seen before, KB's. Before Mountain Lion I could backup 58GB in 4 hours. Whats going on and does anyone else have a similar experience?
    Robert A.

    Hi Pondini from Florida,
    I am on my 5th hour. I took your advice and connected via an Ethernet cable . So far I have backed up 53.92 GB of 68.88GB. It's very slow but it appears to be working. I never had this problem when I downloaded Lion. At least it didn't t take as long and that was on WiFi. Thanks for your help and insight on this issue.
    Regards,

  • Time Capsule Not Seen By Disk Utility, Not On Desktop

    My 1T TC works like a champ and backs up as expected. Can TC be used as an ordinary external HD in addition to being the location of TM back ups. The TC does not appear on my desktop and is not discovered by Disk Utility.

    Rocky,
    Be very careful with the xxxxxx.sparsebundle file. That is an image of all of your Time Machine backups. Leave it alone unless you want to delete all of your backups.
    If you do want to delete your Time Machine backups, use the gear icon just above the xxxxx.sparsebundle file. Click the .sparsebundle file to highlight it and select Move to Trash. This is only safe way to do this.
    There is also an alternate way to delete your backups and wipe the Time Capsule clean if that is what you want to do. Open AirPort Utility, select Manual Setup, click on the Disks icon, then click on the Disks tab just below that and select Erase. This is probably the better option if you want to start over with a clean disk.
    Now, if you want to create a folder or folders on the Time Capsule to move files into, use that same gear shaped icon in the preceding paragraph and select New Folder. Once you see the folder, you can rename it as needed. Create more folders in the same way. You can drag files into the folder from the desktop.
    I haven't tried any kind of automated backups into the folders and don't know if this might be possible.
    If you add folders and keep your Time Machine backups, Time Machine will leave the folders alone even if the TC is full and deleting old backups to make room for new Time Machine backups.
    Hope this helps. Just be careful and you will be fine.

  • Mountain lion install time remaining

    The install seemed to be going great, then with "about a minute" remaining it started to post negative numbers which keep climbing...it's already up to "-9".
    Any ideas?

    I 'm about 50 minutes into he install with 13 minutes to go. I too was down to about a minute, but then it jumped back to 20 minutes. I did not see negative numbers though. The MacWorld article I read estimated 15-25 minutes for the install step. I should have known better and waited until morning. Hope this doesn't end up as an all nighter.
    I have a late 2008 MacBook, so maybe its 4th major OS X upgrade. This is probably its last big upgrade before I upgrade to new hardware.

  • Mountain lion and time capsule. Extremely slow after upgrade...

    After upgrading to the new system, I was trying to copy my iphoto library to my timecapsule, but at this rate, it will be completed within 20 hours... And I´m only transferring 11 gb... I also checked my connection speed to the timecapsule and it´s at 450mb... So, why is it going to take 20 hours??? This is an issue that needs to be adressed... I have the brand new Timecapsule. It´s also not doing a backup while I´m transferring...
    Hoping this will be resolved immedately...

    I noticed that Time Machine erased all of my previous backups and started fresh.  I woudl be willing to bet that the sluggishness you expereinced was because Time Machine was making a full backup.  It proably became more quick once it finished this since it could perform incremental backups thereafter.

  • My macbook pro has mountain lion installed and it will not play dvds

    my hubby's macbook pro has mountain lion installed, and will not play dvd's.  It says it is unsupported, I also have a macbook pro but has snow leopard on it, mine will play dvd's.  Please help me, I can't figure out why his won't play the same dvd's as mine.

    The most frequent problem in an optical drive is a dirty lens.  Use a lens cleaning DVD, a few shots of compressed air in the slot or a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglass lens cloth) wrapped around a business card and gently inserted inside the slot.  If no success, the Apple store genius bar is the next stop.
    Ciao

  • I have my complete computer using Lion backed up on the time machine. Then I installed Mountain lion. I do not like it at all. Is there a way I can remove ML and put my old Lion system back pin my computer?

    I have my complete computer using Lion backed up on the time machine. Then I installed Mountain lion. I do not like it at all. Is there a way I can remove ML and put my old Lion system back pin my computer?

    If you have got a backup, press Command and R keys in boot and restore an old backup. You can install Snow Leopard and upgrade to Lion if you haven't got the backup

  • Time Machine backup not working after Mountain Lion Install

    Oh my.  It seems that Mountain Lion and Lion Server are different species and cannot be interbred!  Is this really true?
    I am running OSX Lion Server on a late 2009 iMac with the main purpose of allowing the MacBook Pros in the house (both running Lion 10.7.4) to wirelessly back up to Time Machine.  All has gone well until I upgraded one of the MacBooks to Mountain Lion.  Now it appears that Time Machine via the server is no longer available on that MacBook.  Also, the Server Admin app is also disabled. 
    My questions are:
    Is it necessary to upgrade to OSX Server if I wish to use the server a Time Machine target for Mabooks running Mountain Lion? 
    If I do upgrade to OSX Server, is it also necessary to upgrade all the Macbooks to Mountain Lion? 
    Is OSX Server stable enough to bother with at this time?
    Thanks in advance for your replies!

    Well I can have a go at answering you questions
    Is it necessary to upgrade to OSX Server if I wish to use the server a Time Machine target for Mabooks running Mountain Lion?
    I'm not sure about this one as it didn't check before I upgraded my server to Mountain Lion but I would be suprised if a Lion Server (10.7.4) could not back up a Mountain Lion (10.8) client
    If I do upgrade to OSX Server, is it also necessary to upgrade all the Macbooks to Mountain Lion?
    No, I am running a mix of 10.8 and 10.7.4 clients with a 10.8 server and they all backup with Time Machine.
    Is OSX Server stable enough to bother with at this time?
    This is a very subjective area - my server is running well using Mountain Lion, it's not used heavily as it's mainly for backing up a few clients, running the built in wiki, web server, calendar and contacts.  It's running fine and I like the additions enough to put up with the bugs [single sign on / kerberos is the one impacting me].  However if you search here you can find other who are having many more issues. This one is a personal choice you'll have to make.
    For the server app, you have to run the same version across the server and the client to use it, you can always use screen share to get to the server and run the server app directly on the server.  This is what I do when using a 10.7.4 client.
    Hope this helps with you decisions.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

    After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

    Standard problem in ML.. apple do not seem to want to recognise.
    Reboot the TC .. if that fails restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC... clients.. with 2min gap.
    There are other suggestions like changing the password.. all they do is the same as reboot.
    Read C12.. most quoted Q in pondini website history. This is asked 10 times a day.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Here is another way to get a useful utility in ML.. rather than toyland version.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • I am trying re-install OS X Mountain Lion, but it is not locating my Apple HD

    I am trying re-install OS X Mountain Lion, but it is not locating my Apple HD, once click on agree, which HD do want to install, its is not show the HD at all ?

    Is it a 15"?
    If so, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Print it out and take it and your Mac to an Apple store or a authorized service center. You may have a logic board problem, which probably has nothing to do with the current problem.
