My Mac can access internet through my time capsule but can't find TC so I can set up time machine
I have an iMac and a MacBook.
I can access the internet with both Macs using my time capsule.
I can access the Time Capsule with my iMac and use it with Time Machine for backups.
I can't use my Time Capsule for Time Machine backup since my MacBook can't identify Time Capsule as a drive for this purpose.
Any suggestions on what I should do to have my MacBook recognize my Time Capsule for Time Machine use?
thanks
So the TC does not show up as an available drive at all in the MBP.. what weird things happen??
Use finder, go, go to server, and use AFP://ipoftimecapsule. (that being the IP address of the Time Capsule)
In router mode and at default it is 10.0.1.1 but check.
If it doesn't work tell us the IP of the TC .. and how it is setup, router or bridge.
IP of the mac that works, and IP of the MBP that doesn't work.
I am assuming you have done the more basic stuff.
Pondini might help you.

Problems with accessing Internet through router (permanent IP)
Hi.
I changed hostname with sys-unconfig. Now computer has permanent IP address (non DHCP) and right hostname.
Before this change I had access to Internet (hostname: "unknown" and DHCP).
My computers access Internet through router.
There is ping from my computer to router and another computer. Also other computer pings my computer.
In DHCP tables my computer does not exist.
I created file /etc/defaultrouter with IP of my router.
Trying to access Internet, web browser (Mozilla) writes: "<site.com> could not be found. Please check name and try afain."
I think there is a problem with DNS.
How to configure my computer on Solaris 10 to access the Internet with current configuration?
Thank you.To test DNS services without a browser (ie, to see if the
system can be a DNS client), first use the command
'nslookup'
# /usr/sbin/nslookup sun.com
Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
Address: 10.23.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: sun.com
Address: 72.5.124.61
# /usr/sbin/nslookup google.com
Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
Address: 10.23.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.187.99, 72.14.207.99
If this doesn't work, then your system isn't talking to a
DNS server at all at all, so you need to check the contents
of /etc/resolv.conf.
If it does work, use the command 'getent' to check that your
system as a whole is querying DNS for name-IP resolution.
EG.
# getent hosts sun.com
72.5.124.61 sun.com
# getent hosts google.com
64.233.187.99 google.com
72.14.207.99 google.com
64.233.167.99 google.com
If you don't get back IP addresses, your system isn't
correctly configured as a DNS client.
Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf, and find the line
that starts 'hosts'.
If it says
hosts files
then the system is not a DNS client.
To correct this, edit that line to add the word dns on the end:
hosts files dns
That's it. No need to reboot. -
My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password.
If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart -
I have connected an AirPlay enabled device to iphone4s. I started palying songs. I was able to access internet through 3G from iphone.After few seconds 3G symbol disappears and WiFi symbol appears. After that I'm not able to access internet. Why is it so?
SMS. Deggie, had them check that. After a lengthy discussion with Senior Tech advisor, it appears it is iMessage/Face Time server (they are the same) issue, which will strong arm those into purchasing Data if they use iMessage over multiple devices, as the server registers the phone number associated with apple ID. Not impressed. I put what I've learned here in a simliar thread
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17416082#17416082
and this is what I've put in apple.com/feedback
"iMessage requires internet. SMS does not. iMessage/FaceTime auto logs phone numbers to the iMessage/Facetime server (it's the same server as I've come to learn), this means that when iMessage/Face Time is turned on anyone sending a message through the server to me will only be sent as an iMessage- not when I'm not connected to internet, meaning I will not receive the message as an SMS by default, when I have another device using iMessage (such as MacBook) logged in.
This feature is a problem for me, bottom line, in that iMessage strong arms the consumer (me) into having to buy a data plan that they either do not want, or do not need." -

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive
Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward. -
Cannot access data from a Time Machine backup
Hey all. This might get slightly confusing so bear with me.
I have a back up on an external drive from Snow Leopard. I sold my computer and bought a different mac with LEOPARD. It said I couldn't restore because I don't have the version of MAC OS that the backup was created on. So I wanted to simply go into the backup drive and pick and choose what I restore. Problem is that it says I don't have the proper access right to do what I want with it.
So, I wanted to change the access rights to it. I did the whole "Get info" and change all the privileges on it. Still a no go. I even went into the console to change the privs there....no dice. So I even tried a program that is supposed to wipe privileges. No go. The Disk Utility doesn't even have it to where I can even do a permission repair. The option is grayed out.
I'm running out of options here before I take it to the so called geniuses at the "genius bar" for help. Any suggestions?I did go out this weekend and purchased Snow Leopard. Problem is don't have enough space on my current drive to to a full on restore. So I picked a couple files to do a restore through the time machine and still the same privilege problem.
I'm thinkin' that I should just get on the horn tomorrow with the apple care and see what they can offer. I've had some bad run ins with those techs though, because I am also technical support/sys admin. Those people HAVE to treat everyone like they are dumb. One time I got annoyed because I told him that I understood what he said and that I did A B and C. He has to talk to people that way I guess because alot of people just can't figure out an Apple system if it didn't work like they expected. lol.
So I strayed from the topic. Funny thing about my music and movie files is I can play them through VLC, but I can't play them through iTunes. How messed up is that? SO, I can play through a non Apple program, but I can't alter it or import it to itunes. And as far as Ubuntu goes, the folders don't even show up as folders. They show up as pieces of papers. They are gone, just heavily secured. -
Anyone tried to SCAN with an Epson cx11 wirelessly through a Time Machine?
I have been trying to get an Epson CX-11NF mutifunction to work through a Time Machine connection. I am running 10.8 and if I use a USB cable a connect to a Mac, it will get the drivers to print and scan no problem. I can connect to it wirelessly through the TIme Machine and it will only get the drivers that Print. If I use the wireless to print it works. Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work? Epson has been no help.
ThanksUnfortunately, the USB port on the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will only support the print function. Advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance are not supported.
Until the printer manufacturers provide a network USB driver with advanced functions, there really is no solution other than to connect using wireless to the Time Capsule, or connect the device directly to your Mac.
You might want to contact Epson support to ask them if they plan to provide network USB drivers for advanced features on their multifunction devices. -
Accessing iPhoto Library From Time Machine
I recently began backing up mine and my wife's MacBooks using Time Machine. Previously, I would drag the folders to my Lacie drive to back them up. Generally, only iTunes, Documents, and iPhoto had anything new in them after the first time.
My issue is that I can't find a way to access the Time Machine backup files from another Mac. What if one of the Macs is stolen, as happened to us before? How can I access the images from the lost/stolen Mac that are backed up in Time Machine? Time Machine protects everything and in the case of iPhoto it's not possible to access the iPhoto Library using folders any longer, as it was in earlier versions of OSX. The images/folders are all somehow imbedded within the iPhoto Libary itself.
Thanks --You do not "access" your TM backup - you open it using TM and restore the file(s) you want from teh time your want
specific TM questions are best ask in the TM forum

Mac Book OSX 10.6.8: Time machine error or corrupted external hard drive?
Mac Book OSX 10.6.8: Time machine runs fine and no error messages show after the process is complete. However, none of the new files or documents are saved to the back up. It is as if the drive is recopying an older backup and placing a new time stamp on it.
Nevermind. My friend was looking in the wrong folder for his files. They were saved under the desktop folder in the Users folder not the overall Desktop folder.

Does anyone know how to get an episode of a tv programme that never downloaded when I bought a subscription. Episode 1 didn't download and I have all other episodes. I looked at the issues through report a problem but I cannot find an answer.
I bought a series pass and unfortunately epsiode 1 didn't download at all. I was watching the downloads and restarting once they stopped as I allow multiple downloads at athe same timeIt sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries). -

I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
Thank you all in advanceHello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue. -
How can we allow internal users to access internet through ASA firewall?
Hello,
I am new to security track, i have been asked to setup lab and allow users from inside firewall to access internet. here is my lab setup
PC -> switch 1 (layer2) -> (inside) ASA (outside) -> switch 2 (Layer2) -> Router
does switch 2 port needs internet access through router?
what configuration required on ASA to allow users behind the firewall to access internet?
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,Hi,
Okay , can you clarify on this for me. Are you able to ping the internet from the ASA outside interface ?
Just try something like this:-
ping 4.2.2.2 .. Does this work ?
If this does not work , then i think the ASA even is not able to get to the internet and that would be a problem on the router.
Also , internet from Switch 2 is not a requirement as that is only a Layer 2 device.
You can assign the ISP allocated address on the PC , connect it to the Switch 2 port and then try to ping something on the internet or surf internet and i think that should work.
Thanks and Regards,
Vibhor Amrodia
