My mac can't find time capsule, my mac can't find time capsule

my mac can't find time capsule, my mac can't find time capsule

I listed the commands.. that is how you manually mount the disk.. follow exactly the commands I gave you.
In finder use top menu, go, connect to server.
Type in the following.
AFP://TCname or AFP://TCIpaddress (obviously you replace with the actual name or the actual IP address).
If that fails..
try
SMB://TCname
Here is the screenshot.
tardis4 being the name of my TC.
It should then ask you for your credentials.
And it should remember them in the keychain and be able to then get TM to connect.

  • No sign of time capsule on mac pro yet i can get into my setting

    hi , i came back from travels for a week only to find i could not back up my time capsule, even more my time capsule could not be found as a disk in airport, yet i could open time machine preferences from the top menu then slide the bar to on, the new box would open, with "no" time capsule disk showing, then if i clicked "set up time capsule", i would go straight into my capsules setting. ive tried updating my mac and also ive killed the power to the capsule,yet no joy, i still cant get into my back ups or locate the disk on the screen and my mac says there is no time capsule connected.

    oh i forgot, the internet side of the time machine is working fine, it still holds all the access bits and bobs and still goes on line and also the wireless side of it works too, so i can go wireless and get internet access and access the set up as before but still no capsule showing

  • How do I find and access files backed up using a time capsule on a different mac?

    I have been backing up files from two macs to a time capsule.  I had a problem with the time capsule and took it to an authorized facility for repair.  When I got it home and reconnected to it, the time capsule seemed to start over as though it was the first time it was ever hooked-up.  The repair facility says my old files are still there.  My question is, how do I find the original backup files and reconnect them to my macs?

    On one of your Macs.....try a right-click on the Time Machine icon on the dock and then select Browsel Other Time Machine Disks to see if you can locate your backups there.
    If you find them, you will be able to restore files from the disk as needed. The same would be true of your other Mac.
    If Time Machine started all over with a new backup of each computer....as I suspect is the case based on the info in your post.....you will not be able to combine the old backups with the new backups.
    To switch back to your new backups, click the Time Machine clock icon at the top of the screen and select Time Machine Preferences. Click Select Disk and click to highlight your Time Capsule disk. Then click Use for Backup.

  • Had an Excel file in the dock. When I restarted  computer a question mark appeared in the dock. I can't find the file. Where can I find what was in the dock on my Time Capsule

    I had an Excel file icon in my Dock on the compter. When I restarted my computer a Question mark appeared where the file icon was located in the dock. I need to find that file. I can't locate it either on my computer or on the Time Capsule . Anyone have any thoughts where the actual file may be located?

    Sorry, you lost me.
    If the file is on your computer, then you will find it if you open Excel, click the File menu, and click Open Recent.
    If you deleted the file before Time Machine saved it, it is gone.
    If the file was on your computer long enough for Time Machine to save it, it will be in your Time Machine backups.
    Open up Time Machine, wait a few minutes for it to load, and click on All Files on the left side of the window.
    Then scan to select a purple bar over on the right hand side of the window to select a recent date when you know that the document was on your Mac.
    If the document was saved, then you will see it in there somewhere. Click on the file to highlight, then click Restore to bring it back to the present time.

  • How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    How can I get my Time Capsule to show up in finder?

    An alternate, and simpler method for most users is to open any Finder window, then look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window.
    When you click on the Time Capsule icon, a folder......named "Data", unless you have changed the name of the drive.....will appear to the right.
    Double-click "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop, where you can now drag/drop or copy/paste data to the drive.
    If the Time Capsule does not appear under the Shared heading when you open a Finder window......then you are likely using the Yosemite operating system on your Mac, and it will take some work to find it.
    In that case, Niel's method might be the better way to go.

  • I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network

    I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.

    You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
    Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.  The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on Time Capsule
    The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
    That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
    Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
    Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule.  Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
    Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
    Verify.........................Verify the Password again
    Click Next
    The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically.  When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Now you have one big "extended" network.  Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

  • Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

    Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
    I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
    Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?

  • Can't back up to time capsule with Mac OS X v10.4.11

    I just purchased and set up a 500gb Time Capsule. I have a PowerBook G4 operating Mac OS X v10.4.11. Is there a way to automatically back up the system with this OS? I understand I do not have the "Time Machine" feature available with Leopard OS. I can connect to the time capsule - so I'm wondering, am I just stuck with manually click-dragging files over to the Time Capsule?

    am I just stuck with manually click-dragging files over to the Time Capsule?
    No. Any backup product which can see the Time Capsule's drive can back up to it.

  • HT3486 Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my lan?

    Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?

    Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
    There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
    PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
    iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
    If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method.

  • Find out my time capsule's mac-address ?

    Hi,
    I need to find out my time-capsule's mac-address to allow it on my network (ethernet mac-address).
    I found some answers to that question but unfortunatly with the old version of airport utility.
    Thanks, Léo

    1. The MAC address is printed on the label of the rubber mat on the bottom of the TC.. right there on the TC itself.. you might need a magnifying glass to see it if like me you are getting old.
    2. Download and use the REAL airport utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Since apple knew the one they supplied in Lion was useless.. they released on the same day the original version updated for lion.. so you could do something.. ie a utility that has utility.. rather than utility to look pretty.

  • Time Capsule. Can I back up 2 different macs? What do I have to do.

    Time Capsule. Can I back up 2 different macs? What do I have to do.
    I want to be able to back up 2 mac. Both have about 70gs of stuff and I have a 1 tb drive. So that should be no problem. I have the time capsule already set-up wireless.
    Do I have to make 2 folders? One for each computer? If so how do I do this.
    Any help would be great.
    I just do want to have to do a restore and get all of my daughters stuff on my mac.
    Thanks

    Just set them both up, via #Q1 in the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Time Machine will make a separate +sparse bundle disk image+ for each Mac's backups.
    As noted, it will be much faster to do the initial setup and first backup while connected via Ethernet, if at all possible. So your best bet will be to set up one, and let it's first backup complete, before setting-up the second.
