My mac book air connects to my network and gets internet access but airport utility  cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine

airport utility  cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
Normally, AirPort Utility is not used or needed to set up Time Machine backups......unless a default setting on the Time Capsule to Enable File Sharing has been changed.
On the other hand, if you open AirPort Utility, a picture of the Time Capsule should be displayed. Are you saying here that the Time Capsule does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

  • Mac book air connection to tv problem

    I am having an issue with connection my mac book air to my tv. I am using a thunderbolt / Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to connect to an sony TV. The computer screen shows up on the tv but both the tv and computer screens keep on blinking and changing resolutions. Is there an easy fix to this? The mac book has  an operating system of OS X 10.9.3 and the sony tv is a Bravia.

    If I were having this issue, I'd try all the resolutions, plus I'd disconnect the cable and/or restart after every one, but that's just me, I like to try anything that might work.

  • It's the Mac book air good for graphic design and video editing ?

    I'm into graphic design for clothing logos etc. and I'm a photographer my question is, is the Mac book air good for these things?

    ideally a 15" would be best for same, as referring to the 15" macbook Pro.
    For a photographer, which I used to be long ago, either the Air or Pro are close in form factor for travel with only one moving part, and SSD.
    The retina display in combination with the 15" would be idea as best choice for photo editing and graphic design.

  • Mac book air OS 10.9.3 and HP p1102w

    Hello! Just got a new mac book air, OS 10.9.3-trying to print to my HP p1102w printer with a USB cord. The computer recognizes the printer and acts as though its sending print jobs to it, but the printer is somehow not receiving the message. I just installed the HP 2.16.1 driver and have restarted my computer and printer several times with no luck.
    Please help! 

    should have mentioned that the blue light on the printer flashes intermittently... 

  • Is it okay to upgrade to mversion mavericks? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5 and my safari is not responding..

    i have a question is it okay to upgrade to OS mavericks? free upgrade? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5,

    Shouldn't be a problem if your Mac can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    As for Safari. When you say not responding, do you mean it won't open a window, or it won't load websites, or it won't launch at all?

  • The airport utility cannot find a configured base station. How do I connect?

    I just bought a Airport Time Capsule and want to configure it. I plugged-in my broadband modem into the WAN port, but when I started-up the Airport Utility, it states the message ' No configured Airport base stations have been found'. How do I configure my Time Capsule?

    It should show as new device in the airport utility..
    If not, factory reset it and it will show up..
    You do need a Mac with at least Lion and latest airport utility.. with wireless turned on.
    Or you can download the airport utility for iOS and run it on your phone or ipad.

  • Mac book air connects to internet w/ lag and drops

    my macbook air has been working for the past year, but recently my internet has been lagging and disconnecting by itself every 30 seconds. all my computers connect through a router and modem but only the mac air is having internet problems. it keeps saying "the page cannot be displayed" even though airport shows that it is connected to the internet. (note: the mac air works flawlessly when I connect to other wifi locations outside of home)
    router: netgear
    all the things I've tried.
    -editing keychain settings
    -deleting my network and creating a new one
    -resetting modem and router
    -resetting airport
    -changing dns and ip settings
    -resetting the mac air
    -turning off bluetooth
    -changing browser settings
    -smashing the router around
    nothing has worked....
    p.s. there was one day where I changed my router and it worked for one day, the next day it didn't work again.

    What are your wireless encryption settings? WEP, WPA2? Have you tried it with no encryption? Was it faster? Sometimes if you have rearranged the room or moved the router, interference can start. I also would download istumbler and see if you have neighbors using the same or adjacent channels. It will also show you the noise on your Netgear. Maybe this will bring some ideas to you:

  • Can a Mac book air connect to non wifi

    Can a MacBook Air connect to the internet without a wireless modem/router? (With a cord)

    Yes, it has its own Airport card, but you still need an Internet connection of some kind such as a Wi-Fi hotspot. However, in your own home you will need Internet service and a router. The service provider usually supplies the modem.

  • IPad 2 connects to my network and the internet and disconnects after a few seconds. This started after the last update.

    All my other computers work fine with the network settings I have.  I have done the reset in general settings and the toggling of the airplane mode button and a few other suggested remedies such as hard reboot, etC.  Can anyone help?  As much as I hate to do this I am thinking of going to another brand and perhaps someone would recommend one or discourage me from the move.

  • Mac book air connected to a dell screen shows only the background

    Why can I only see the background on my Dell monitor which is connected via the thunderbolt connection using a display cable please?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's working correctly, but it's in extended mode. To put a window onto your monitor, drag a window to the right of your MacBook Air's screen. If you want to show the same in your Mac and external display, press Command and F1 keys. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019
