Mounting name of time capsule changes all the time...

I, since I pluged my TC, its mounting name (/volumes/times capsule/) is always changing with -1, -2... etc. (ex: /volumes/times capsule-3/)
So, all my apps seted to store files on /volumes/time capsule/ can't work!
How can I fix this?
thanks

Here is a suggestion and it should remove all the extra names, although it won't solve the issue from happening again. So I would suggest watching for when it does happen - what you were doing, error messages that came up, etc. I've read several posts about this issue, but no one seems to have found a definitive fix.
From a Finder window (or the desktop), eject the backup disk image and then eject the Time Capsule disk. Open a Finder window (if not already open) and from the "Go" menu and select "Go to folder...". Enter /Volumes. In the next window you should see and be able to delete all the excess Time Capsule names (Time Capsule-1, Time Capsule-2, etc).
I would then suggest checking the 'sparsebundle' image for corruption using Disk Utility. To get the image to show in Disk Utility, you need to navigate to the Time Capsule disk using Finder and locate the sparsebundle and then drag it into the Disk Utility left hand sidebar and then you can verify and repair the disk (if necessary).
Hope this helps.

Is it ok to leave Time Capsule on all the time?

Hi
Is it ok in terms of the life of the hard drive to leave Time Capsule on all the time? I know it has to be on to run the wireless back ups and for the Wi-Fi to work but i have heard quite alot of people saying that you should turn it off for a couple of hours occasionally.
Is this true and will that increase the TC life?
Thanks

Yeah it definatly spins down but it does get super hot?
I thought that about no on/off switch.
Thanks for the advice.
Ouch super hot.. that is not good.. the only one in my experience that did get super hot was gen1 with 1TB hitachi disk.. because it was just a very poor combination and the disk is extremely hot running.
The latest gen3 and gen4 should be warm.. maybe hot during a backup but certainly not what you would call super hot. In later ones, that is a sign all is not well with the power supply and it will fail. Even fixing the cooling at this stage the damage may already be done.
What gen is yours and how old? If it is outside of warranty I would take steps to keep it cooler. Not shutting down overnight... actually actively cooling it.
The most effective way is to force the fan on.

Placing fans outside the TC is useless unless you can seal it to the device and force air through it. blowing on the case will do nothing.
A better solution is to use an external power supply.

That removes a lot of the waste heat load.

Why is my time capsule running all the time?

It's also very hot!

How old? What version from the rubber foot A1xxx??
How long has it been doing this?
Is the disk spinning up and down? Or just continually running?
Disconnect and let it cool down; Plug back the power and see if it overheats without any connections at all.. is the disk spinning.. it should stop within a min or two of the TC starting up.

Host name is changing all the time

Hi
The host name of my Mac is changing all the time
I recently bought a new camera and connected it
this may be the problem?
What should I do?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
2. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
3. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
4. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
5. See also this support article.

Help menu options change all the time - repair install always shows

After installing Acrobat X, I noticed the Help menu options change all the time. The repair install option is always present and sometimes the deactivate option is present but grreyed-out, somtimes it is enabled and most of the time it doesn't even show up. I have the full version purchased from a major online retailer.

I should add the following: The Sound control panel will not even let me click on the "Show volume in Menu Bar" check box.
I just now installed the latest Brother control panel (Leopard compatible) and it DOES appear in the menu bar.

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".
Mac Book Pro - 3.1-15-inch 2.4/2.2GHz), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

This Time Machine software worked satisfactory until Monday Nov, 10 2014 and I have backups until that time. For several years, the software deleted the oldest back up to save the latest one. This is acceptable to me as I have off site storage that is updated every 3 months. How do I get Time machine working again?

I have spent a couple of days trying to respond to Linc Davis. Finally I figured it out . The following is a copy of data from my console from the initiation of a time machine backup until it gets stuck trying to calculate the time remaining. There is no indication that anything starts saving. I copied about 3 minutes of data. This is probably way too much data, but I do not know what is relevant.
Thanks for the help,

Shpuld I leave time machine on all the time?

I have time machine on all the time. My concern is backing up every hour seems excessive, and I wonder if turning it off and only on once a week is better.
Furthermore, my LaCie external hard drive is annoyingly noisy.

You can do that or you can use a third-party utility to change the schedule. If you use your computer daily, then file change daily, and you may wish to have those changes backed up.

I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

Mac Book Pro
1TB Time Capsule.
Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
(And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

Simply reset the Time Machine.
See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

Name of computer changing all the time

hi my girl friend iMAC name is always changing i have to go all the time in properties and also compare to mine it seems slower i have to restart computer to get back in iphotos or wathever we work with can you help me thank's

In my experience your router is not dropping the Mac while while the Mac is asleep. So when you wake the Mac and it tries to connect to your router it is told that a Mac with your Mac's name is already connected to the router, so your Mac changes its name to get a connection. Look into how your router is configured to hand out connections. Perhaps reset the router to its factory setting to give it a good kick in the can.

The wall paper can't change, all the time it's the same

I have a Mac with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.4. I have a problem with the wall paper, if I change the wallpaper, when the system restarts reappears the same all the time.
I can tried to delete the file com.apple.desktop.plist but the problem persist.

Triple click and copy paste each line below one at a time into Terminal and press enter after each line, some might say "doesn't exist" don't worry.
Do not type the entries, you might make a fatal typo. rm is very dangerous. Have a backup of your files off the machine.
rmdir Library/Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
rm Library/Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
rm Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Then Apple menu > Restart, open System Preferences and set your preferences.
If you still having problems, try other wallpapers from Apple only and test,
Then also run through this list of fixes and tests, there is something further wrong with your machines software.

Machine that gets Time Machine Error ALL THE TIME

Lets try and list out all the machines that cannot get Time Machine to work all the time.
Here is mine:

with upgraded HDD (160GB) and 2GB RAM
TM HDD Tried:

Is the Drive formatted with a GUID partition? Look in Partitions in Disk Utilities. If it isn't GUID, set it to GUID, reformat, and try TM again.

Does time capsule backup all the music and photo files?

I do not have any files excluded for backup with my time capsule. So, are all my music and photos stored on my MacBook Pro and iMac backed up each time?
Does it also back up the Photostream in iPhoto?
I am a little confused about all this and do not want to lose any of these files if my MBP hard drive crashes.

Time Machine will back up the iTunes Media Folder, which stores all of your music and video.....and it will also back up the iPhoto Library used with iPhoto.
Time Machine does not backup the entire libraries each time that it runs. Time Machine backs up the entire contents of your Mac on the first "master" backup. Once that is done, Time Machine only backs up the changes that have occurred on your Mac since the last backup.
So, if you have made any changes to the iTunes Media Folder or iPhoto Library since the last backup, Time Machine will pick up the change and back that up on the next pass when Time Machine runs.
Best to ask your question about Photostream in the iPhoto support area. My understanding is that images are normally stored in iCloud, but if you have downloaded images permanently to your Mac, they are stored in the iPhoto Library, which will be backed up.

TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance...

I got a reply from the chairmans office
I’ve spoken with BT
Wholesale again today and I’m waiting on a report coming in from the Chief
Engineers Office.
What I’ve
been doing
I’ve also gone
through all the history available of the work that has been done on your line
and can confirm the following:
Your line is
all copper and is on the best E and D side cables available.
We have changed
the network equipment in the exchange on multiple occasions.
And it doesn’t
look like there is any more physical work can be carried out.
The report I’m
waiting for from BT Wholesale is about a known issue that we have had with
certain exchange equipment which is used to make the phone ring when it is
being called and causing the broadband connections to drop, I need this to
confirm if your line is affected by this specific issue.
I think you
have spoke with Donal earlier today and discussed the option of moving onto an
8meg service instead of the upto 20meg, and you told him this has been tried
before and did not work, can you remember roughly when this was so I can check
it with BT Wholesale?
What happens
next
There is still
an engineer on his way out to you tomorrow between 1pm and 6pm. I’m not sure
what this engineer will be able to do given that we have had it confirmed that
you are already on the best lines available but we will see how he gets on and
take it from there. (Might get a nice surprise!)
I’ll give you a
call tomorrow to confirm the update from the chief engineers office and also
see if the engineer has been out on site with you.
Best Wishes
Chris
My reply
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, some of the information in your email isn’t correct.
The D-side is only the “best lines available” because it’s the only one available!
I had the BB disconnecting when the phone rang, long before going on the new equipment.
They have exchanged the network equipment on “multiple occasions”, even though I told them not to bother because I knew it would make no difference.
The facts are:
NO WORK has been done on my D-side (apart from the connections directly outside my property)
Many people that have had the same fault have told me it turned out to be the D-side
I was told by a BT Openreach engineer that they would not do any work on my D-side because part of it was aluminium. But this now turns out not to be true, so I have no idea why they will not do any work on my D-side.
At the cab, the broadband is the correct speed and works fine.
My caller display, often doesn't work. I think this is the same line fault that causes this.
A leakage to earth was detected on my line, but was never fixed.
My phone often rings 2 or 3 times, when I finish a call. I think this is the same line fault that causes this.
When the BB speed goes up, the router records a huge amount of errors.
A few years ago my BB failed altogether, it turned out to be the connection outside my property. The connection was green and in bad condition. There are loads more of these connections between my house and the cab, they will be just as old or older.
A BT engineers test equipment detected a change in resistance somewhere on my D-side, I haven’t heard if that was ever looked into.
Every piece of evidence points at a bad connection on my D-side, so you can see why I will not rest until I know that all the connections have been replaced. BT wholesales answer of “that there is nothing wrong with your line” just isn’t good enough because the fault still exists.

My iphone 4 is not showing correct time! its just showing time for UK all the time. please help!!!!

i tried all possible way, but couldnt get it right....

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
