My Time Capsule backups disappeared (blank black screens) and in trying to set it up again I now find that when TC is plugged in and on (green light) it cancels out wifi reception from my router. I am only using TC as a backup not for wifi. Can anybody help?

Sorry, you have lost me since it appears that you have two completely separate issues here.
All that I can suggest is you start over and try to set up the Time Capsule again first...and then, once that is done and the Time Capsule is working correctly on the network....then, try to troubleshoot the separate Time Machine issue.
If you decide that you want to do this, we'll need some basic information:
Make and model number of your modem?
You are using OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), correct?

  • Time Capsule with BT Home Hub - 9 hours of trying to set up and counting...

    Hi...I am at my wits end having spent two long evenings trying simply to connect a Time Capsule to an iMac. We have pored over the instructions, read all the postings in all the forums, probably in the entire world (OK, slight exaggeration) and tried every possible combination, and still we end up with a non-responsive Time Capsule (blinking amber light), and the Airport software saying "Waiting for the Time Capsule to restart" in a perpetual loop. The issues may well be around compatibility with the BT Home HUb, but there again they may not. There are no clues about why it fails so consistently in every combination. For the record, these are the combinations we have so far tried: ethernet connection from WAN port on TC to Ethernet port on Home Hub...A wired connection is established successfully. But then immediately the wireless connection wizard starts up, we can't turn it off, and the wireless connection wizard fails. We have tried it in all three combinations of the Wireless wizard. The end result is always the above, the blinking amber light.
    We have tried adding the TC without any ethernet connection being involved in the first place. This was the most promising, we actually finally got a green light on the TC itself, but, crucially, NOT in the Airport software: that just hung in the same perpetual loop saying "waiting for Time capsule to restart", even though it CLEARLY HAD RESTARTED (because it gave us the green light). So, after about 9 hours and counting trying to get this "out of the box" solution simply to be recognised by a Mac computer, let alone connected to any other devices in the house (heaven forbid), we are now at our wit's end. Does anyone have any advice?

    hi cprelude, I have the same or nearly the setup as you a BT HH V1 and a 500gb timecapsule this is hardwired to bt hh and works well so fear not it can be resolved. first hold the reset button on the HH with the TC disconnected, then while the HH is restarting unplug the TC for a couple of mins then replug inyour TC with the reset switch at the rear pushed in and then let the TC restart and plug in the ethernet cable to thr HH then use Airport utility to connect to the TC. then if all goes well you can set up two wireless networks first being the HH and the second the TC 5ghz. if I was you I would do the first backup on TC via ethernet as the first wireless backup can take hours and hours depending on the amount GBs you already have on your hard drive
    good luck

  • My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

    My iPad just stopped playing videos. The original app that comes with the iPad opens with a blank black screen. I have shut all apps, and the shutdown the co ad, but no effect. Where to from here?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.

  • Blank Black Screen installing Windows XP Pro SP2 Retail with Boot Camp

    Hi Support Forum -
    I am using BootCamp Assistant (3.0.2) to install WindowsXP_SP2_ProRetail on my MacBook Pro 15inch
    Mid2009 (10.6.4) plus all the latest updates.
    I have no problems creating partitions ranging from 5GB to more than half my HDD of 500GB....but
    nothing but one problem when I get to Step 3 of the BootCamp Installation & Setup Guide, page 7:
    To install Windows on your Mac computer:
    1 a... Open Boot Camp Assistant
    b... Select 'Start Windows installer'
    c... Click Continue
    2..... Insert your Windows installation disc
    3..... In Boot Camp Assistant, click Start Installation
    Your computer starts up from the Windows installation disc
    That's as far as I get! First a Gong sound then the gray screen appears and afterwards the screen turns BLACK. After a short while the optical drive starts up and is quite active with either searching
    or scanning back and forth for about 5 minutes. Then all activity stops and finally the computer stops
    2 minutes later. Interestingly the keyboard was never lit and none of the keys responded to my de-
    pressions. I also noticed the aluminum case near the display pivot edge get quite warm probably due
    to the black screen so I decided to press the power-off key.
    I restarted the computer and held the option key depressed, selected the Macintosh HD icon and pro-
    ceeded to the Logs (system.log & the windowserver.log) for any entries about the windows installer
    and the optical drive operations....Nothing, nothing! Then I checked the BootCamp HD with Finder,
    nothing, -> 0 items were loaded!
    I feel at a loss what to do next??? I even ran Techtooldeluxe diagnostic utility from AppleCare, every-
    thing AOK!
    Now I had Windows installed successfully when I first had bought my MBP 15 last year. Then I decided
    to play around with Parallel Desktop 5, didn't like it and tried to return to Windows and ever since that
    time I was not able to install Windows XP. I decided to reinstall OSX to Factory Conditions, did the
    7-pass erase for secure delete, installed OSX again without any problems. But Windows still won't in-
    stall, get that Blank Black Screen, no cursors!
    Perhaps something slipped in with soft- or firmware upgrades for the Graphic/Display 'Nvidia GeForce
    9400M that won't let windows installer function properly?
    Just for kicks I reinstalled Parallel Desktop 5 and Win/XP installed without any problems.
    The Apple Experts in CA couldn't help me either. Now I had hoped there might be a solution to this
    problem at this time?!
    I like my MBP very much and I might convert to OSX and it's applications if I can't get an answer to my
    problem. I still don't like to give up though and would like to pursue this problem with more diagnostic aids from Tech Support. I know there a lot of OPEN incidents on this particular problem!
    If this really is a Windows Installer failure, why does it work with Parallel Desktop 5, there is no BOOT
    CAMP ASSISTANT!!!!
    Hope I can get a solution soon from some brilliant expert out there!
    Thanks for your patience,
    Paul370

    I know what are you talking about. It looks more like a video compatibility issue in Boot Camp like this one:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1454?viewlocale=en_US
    I encountered something similar with a MacBook Pro and despite all searching, i couldn't find a solution. However i am not that expert you are searching for, just the average Mac user
    *You may try another XP version, i was able to install a older XP home setup, and updated lately after installing :|*
    I am interested myself in a solution from some brilliant expert out there! Keeping an eye on this thread.

  • Blank black screen on Z3

    Hi I'm with Xperia Z3 , 3 days ago.. Last night it turns completley blank black screen while in the process of updating an app. Have tried to hit the reset button and the volume up and powerbutton trick but it doesnt work.I cant see any logo or splash screen. Now, I'm deciding to visit the store bought it and see what they can do. Can they possibly replace my phone or will just fix the issue?.. I'm afraid my important pictures can't be recovered
    Really bad experience for my first android phone from a long time windows phone user

    When you hold the volume up and power buttons do you receive any vibration feedback? you should receive 3 - If you feel 1 then keep those buttons held down untill you feel 3 then try starting your phone

  • Blank black screen with just mouse pointer after logging in windows 8.1

    First of all On starting the system, it was taking much longer time than usual.. Then after logging in it showed only a blank black screen with white mouse pointer.. had to force shut down (shut down also took longer time).. on starting went to safe mode and ran extensive system check.. HARD DRIVE SMART CHECK PASSED but HARD DRIVE SHORT DST CHECK FAILED...I have the recovery discs and the notebook is under warranty..

    Hi 
              If your hard drive is failing on short DST test then you will need to contact HP in your local region and arrange with HP a repair ( Hard drive replacement )  .  You say your machine is still in Warranty then the cost of shipping and repair will be covered by HP .

  • IOS app rejected due to a blank, black screen upon launch

    I recently got my iPhone app rejected and the reason is below:
    "We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.3, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    Specifically, the app displayed a blank, black screen upon launch. Please see the attached screenshot/s for more information.
    The steps to reproduce are:
    1. Launch app
    2. Bug encountered"
    I use FlashDevelop and the latest Apache Flex + Air SDK 3.7 + swfversion=20. I don't have an iPhone 5 to test on but I've tested the application on a 3GS, iPod touch (4th gen.) on IOS 4.3, 5.1 and 6.1.3 (latest) and the application works on all of them.
    The attached screenshot mentioned above is here:
    the "blank" screen is actually a deep blue one, which the color I've set to my project's background.
    I didn't make any special modifications in the code to support iPhone 5 to be honest, and the project dimensions were set to 640x960, but I did include the [email protected], and it shows inside the .ipa at Payload/Myapp.app/
    In almost all the iPhone 5 discussions I've read online, theat launch problem is due to the [email protected] not being there in the root of the release .ipa, but I'm sure it does exist on my ipa. Also, I have request high resolution set to high, and the Info.plist has the correct DTPlatformVersion (6.0) and DTSDKName (iphoneos6.0).
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Thanks.

    Remember - they gave you a very specific device and version. It might be working on all other configurations. So if you are unable to get your hands on that device and version you are going to be left stabbing in the dark as to what is going wrong.
    My advice would just be to figure out what's different with that device and make sure everything is configured properly.
    Another option - if you don't want this app on the iPad anyway - is to remove it from the configuration:
    <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
    <array>
              <string>1</string>
              <string>2</string>
    </array>
    You would delete the <string>2</string> part.

  • How to add a blank black screen ?

    Hi all,
    In FCE4, I can create a blank black screen, I think the effect was slug.
    But how do we do that in FCP X ?
    Thanks

    to use the position tool press P, and then press A again to go back to the normal tool.
    Alternatives:
    1. You can also right click and replace an existing clip with a gap by selecting "replace with gap"
    2. You can insert a Solid>Custom clip from the media generator on the right.

  • Blank black screen when I open Firefox

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks in advance for your help. I have noticed over the last week that whenever I open Firefox, I have a blank black screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem still exists. After some research, I started Firefox in safe mode in which it opened but after closing the window and re-opening the Firefox window, the blank black screen still appeared.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to rectify this problem?
    Thank you

    Did this happen when you updated to Firefox 33? Many Windows 7 users with integrated Intel graphics have not updated their graphics drivers for a long time, and Firefox 33 is incompatible with the older drivers.
    The temporary workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration, but the long term solution is to update the Intel software. Please see this thread for step-by-step and links: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438
    Success?

  • Fullscreen Mode shows blank black screen..

    Hi,
    I am panorama photographer and usually show my panos on FPP (Flash panorama player). 
    I want to show .flv movie on inside the panorama but there were some problems with fullscreen
    mode. -> When I click on the panorama fullscreen button, the flash movie turns fullscreen
    instead of the panorama.
    My workaround is laying an iframe (in which the flash movie is inserted) on the <div> layer.
    At first it seemed to be working OK but the problem is that once I click on the "movie" button,
    the panorama's fullscreen mode just show black blank screen. 
    -> "Movie" Button
    You can check my pano at: 
    http://www.panosis.com/biz/ubertree/movie_test/openvr.html
    Try  to see the panorama in fullscreen mode before watching the movie, it will work fine.
    But turning the panorama in fullscreen mode after watching the movie shows just
    blank black screen and I guess this might have something to do with HTML layer
    or iframe?
    Does anybody have a clue what the problem is?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Luckey,
    One option that I do want to try, is booting the computer into safe mode. I have included the steps here for you to follow: (steps obtained from 'Windows 7 Safe Mode')
    Entering Safe Mode at start up
    Use the following steps to start Windows 7 in Safe Mode when the computer is off:
        1)Turn on the computer and immediately begin pressing the F8 key repeatedly.
        2)From the Windows Advanced Options Menu, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and press  ENTER.
    ** The computer will automatically exit Safe Mode when it is shut down. **
    Once you are able to access safe mode. Try to access your Device Manager. I have included the document 'How Do I Access Device Manager in Windows?'. Please click on your operating system, and open Device Manager. Once the Device Manager window is open, please follow these steps.
    1) Click the plus sign beside keyboard
    2) Right click on the device in this section
    3) Click uninstall
    4) Click the plus sign beside Mice and other pointing devices
    5) Right click on the device in this section
    6) Click uninstall
    Once these steps have been completed, please shut down the computer completely and restart. Please let me know if you are able to fully use the keyboard and mouse after. Thank you.
