My time capsule cannot support printer MF4500 is there a solution ?

my time capsule cannot support printer canon mf4500 is there any solution ?

How are  you trying to connect the Canon device to the Time Capsule?
USB?  Wireless?  Ethernet?
Have you checked the Canon web site to see if new software/drivers are available and downloaded the latest versions of the software for your device?

  • HT1218 How do I troubleshoot this: Time Capsule cannot complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    This is the second time I've encountered this issue with Time Capsule using Time Machine automatic backup. I haven't found the following specific error message in the list of troubleshooting issues: "Time Capsule cannot complete the backup. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I'm not certain what causes this issue. I think it may have something to do with having to force shutdown with apps still open when the beachball hangs and the MacBook has to be rebooted.
    Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Restart your Mac and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve the problem.
    If it doesn't work, see > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html

    You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

  • Time capsule with USB printer stop to work.

    Two months ago, I installed a brand new Time Capsule 2T. Initial configuration went without any issue.I installed an HP wireless printer and a second HP Laserjet to the USB port on time capsule. Everything was working well and suddenly the printer hooked on USB port stop working. Print job remains in the queue and nothing happens even using my MBP or using a PC connected to Time Capsule. The wireless printer is still working fine. So, I did a soft reset by pressing the button at the back of Time Capsule but it doesn't solve the problem. Both MBP and PC cannot connect to USB printer. The only way to recover printing capability is to unplug power on Time Capsule and re-plug it. In this case, MBP and PC could print. I don't know when this issue begins and I cannot predict when printing capability issue on USB printer will occur. I'm pretty sure this a Time Capsule issue or OS issue.
    Couple things I tried:
    - Uninstalled printer and re-added
    - All drivers are up-to-date
    - Time Capsule firmware is up-to-date
    - MBP running OS X Mountain Lion with latest patches
    - PC Windows Vista Ultimate with latest patches.
    Any idea what could cause this?

    Yes, your solution of the power cycle of the TC shows that this is caused solely by the poor networking ability of the TC. There is a flaw in the firmware that is causing the issue. The issue affects a number of things.. yours is just one example of it.
    There is no solution. I cannot even give you a true work around using just the TC..
    Best solution is of course to get a network printer.. usb is seldom designed for network usage. You can purchase an ethernet to USB print server but the cost of the item would be half the cost of the new printer. And useless item into the future. So consider carefully.. maybe time for a new printer.
    In the TC do the following.
    1. Reduce the firmware to 7.6.1 if you recently installed latest 7.6.3 that could be some of the issue.. it has proven less than great update. Hold down option key when you select firmware and you can downgrade.
    2. Factory reset after you do 1. or do it anyway if you want to stick to the latest klugde firmware. But clean up the old settings by using new setup.
    3. Use all names that comply to windows standard.
    Short,, 10-20 characters should be plenty.. less than 10 also good.
    No spaces..
    Pure alphanumeric.
    4. If the TC is set to main router, set the dhcp server to much shorter lease time. I suggest even 20min. The increase in network traffic for dhcp renewal will be tiny.. but it will keep ARP tables updated better than the full day used by default.
    5. From the windows side make sure the TC is set to the correct workgroup under file sharing.. generally WORKGROUP.
    6. If you still have issues.. and I think you may mitigate the problem but not resolve it doing the above.. a nightly auto reboot from an electrical timer.. crude but we have done such things before to fix crummy domestic level router to make them reliable.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

  • How can I change the settings in my time capsule to support UPnP?

    Trying to change the settings on my time capsule to support UPnP so I might remotely access 3rd party software.  Any suggestions?

    Apple routers do not support UPnP.  They do support NAT-PMP, but that requires that you manually enter in the port values to set up what is known as Port Mapping.
    But, first things first. is the Time Capsule set up as the DHCP and NAT router for the network, or do you have another router upstream from the Time Capsule on the network?
    Another way to ask the same question......what is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • My time capsule cannot connect to my system and I get an error msg -6753. I also get a clicking noise when I start up. I've tried every thing from re setting, un plugging and re setting but nothing works. Anybody have the same problem ?

    A "clicking noise" is often a sign that a hard drive is malfunctioning. Suggest that you power down the device and take it to an Apple store to have them take a look, or contact Customer Service at Apple for instructions.

  • Time Capsule cannot complete the backup, backup disk not available. Help please!

    Hi,
    I've only ever been able to complete one back up using my time capsule and have been having problems for months! I've tried resetting and restarting the TC, it re-installs successfully and the green light comes onto the TC. However, when I try to backup I get the following message:
    Time Capsule cannot complete the backup. The backup disk is not available.
    I've tried taking it into the Apple store to the genius bar and they seem to think it is working fine. It seems to have connected successfully to my network at home so I'm struggling to work out what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Have you updated to the latest Time capsule firmware?

  • Error message: "Time Capsule cannot be found"

    I tried accessing my Time Capsule drive from Finder. The TC shows up in the Finder window as a shared drive. However, when I try to open TC, I get an error message that says: "the operation cannot be completed because the original item for Time Capsule cannot be found." The wireless router is working and it shows that I am connected. As I was typing this, a scheduled backup was supposed to begin but the desktop icon that shows the backup in process that pops up when I'm backing up is not appearing.

    I am having similar problem. My error: "Connection Failed: There was an error connecting to the server "NAME HERE.local". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator".

  • Airport Time Capsule cannot see my existing wireless network

    Just bought iMac and an ATC, and have the iMac connected to my wireless network (Linksys WRT1900AC, 802.11ac) and trying to get the ATC to see it and extend it.  The ATC light is blinking amber and while I can see it in the airport utility, when I try to get it to join my wireless network--it doesn't see it, only sees one (my iMac sees 6) and it's my neighbor's (who has a Mac, not sure if Apple wireless)
    What to do?
    Thanks!

    The Time Capsule cannot wirelessly "extend" the signal from the Linksys wireless router.
    Instead, the Time Capsule needs to connect to the Linksys router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you want the Time Capsule to provide additional wireless coverage, it can do so. Simply use the same wireless network name and password as the Linksys network.
    Here, I am assuming that the Time Capsule will be located a few rooms away from the Linksys router....and not in close proximity to the Linksys router.

  • Problem with Time Capsule and Wireless Printing (Mac+PC Mixed)

    I have a time capsule that is the wireless router for the house and my iMac and laptops use the wireless network beautifully. I installed a Dell 1320C color laser printer by connecting it to the usb port on the time capsule. The airport express utility did NOT recognize any USB printer connected to the time capsule. I was however able to wireless print from my iMac by asking the printer utility to find all available printers which it did and then installing the printer drivers (thanks google). So, while i cannot find my printer as being connected to the time capsule through the airport utility, i can find it through the print utility as a connection through bonjour and i can print just fine to it.
    Now i installed bonjour on my laptops and found and selected the 1320c just fine. When i try to print through the laptops (pc), nothing happens and the file stays in the print queue.
    I am willing to live with the first quirk as I can print wirelessly from the iMac. I however need help to print from the laptops.
    Any suggestions?
    thank you so much in advance

    1) see the printer on my iMAC - what utility do I run etc?
    It is connected to your network. Check your printer setup manual on how to set it up. Or go the the Dell website for printer support if you can't find your manual.
    2) can i then run bonjour from my windows laptops and see the printer through the network?
    Via ethernet, it shouldn't need Bonjour to set up.

  • Time capsule cannot install at all

    Hi i just bought the mac book air with the h all in one printer, time capsule, and cd drive. i am currently haveing trouble getting up my time capsule with my router,wireless printer to the laptop wireless. i get so close to set it then it kicks it off saying that it is not recognized. i followed the manuel very cautiously and yet it still is not working can you please help me install the capsule please.

    You might give Apple support a call.
    Are you replacing an existing router with the TC? Or are you adding the TC as a wireless access point?
    Do you have the USB ethernet option for the MBA or do you have another Mac to configure the TC before connecting wirelessly?
    Make sure that you run Software Update to install the TC software update. The other suggestion on many threads to rename the TC (to a shorter name). Then run the Airport setup utility and pick either (Replace Existing network equipment) if you want to replace your router or (Add Network equipment) if you want to add the TC to your router (in this case choose Access Point or Bridge mode as the configuration).
    It is hard to help without specifics or more detail. I am sure that Apple can walk you through the setup while on the phone.

  • Time capsule cannot connect to internet

    Hi,
    I had just purchase the time capusle(the model they have in stores now) and am trying to use my time capsule as my wifi router but failed.
    Here's how it works now, internet-->modem--(LAN)-->Buffalo routerWZR-HP-G302H--(LAN)-->Time Capsule
    and how I want it to work internet-->modem--(LAN)-->Time Capsule
    When I connect the time capsule directly to the modem, and had setup the timecapsule, the airport utility shows that I am not connected to the internet so I checked from my system preference-->network, it says I am connected to wifi. The Airport Utility still shows that I am not connected to internet, orange/amber light for internet and flashing orange/amber light for time capsule.
    At first, airport utility says time capsule has internet connection problem and DNS server and the other problem that I cannot remember, but in the end I fix the other two problem and now there's only one left, that is the internet connection. I am not able to connect to the internet no matter how many time I use the system preference-->network and use "Assist Me" to fix the internet connection, which usually works but not this time. I also try it on my ipods, iphones and ipads and they all cannot connect to the internet through wifi but when I connect the LAN to my computer it works perfectly.
    Can anyone help me with this probelm? Why can't it connect to the internet?
    Thanks in advance

    There is some extra info I need.
    What modem.. make and model..?? What kind of broadband?
    How is the Buffalo setup? Is it router or bridged and if router is it using pppoe?
    There is nothing wrong with keeping the buffalo .. it is a very reasonable router.. and just use the TC in bridge plugged into it..
    I have to confess I really dislike the airport utility v6 in Mountain Lion.. it is a kiddie toy version of the real v5 utility. Half your problems relate to the near to useless nature of the utility.
    Can you install 5.6 and then we can get somewhere.
    Here is howto..
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Canon printer connected on Time Capsule won't print from the PC

    Hi all !!
    I just bought a small printer, Canon MP250.
    Connected it to my Time Capsule. Works fine on wifi with my Mac.
    But with the PC (connected by ethernet).... it sees the printer, but won't print.
    Bonjour installed, firewall desactivated.
    Any tips/suggestion/link/idea ?
    Thanks for any help !

    Here's the Canon's response (sorry, in French). I'm happy that Canon answered personnaly & very quickly to my questions. That's a great support.
    Lors du partage d'une imprimante en réseau, Windows utilise un port virtuel et non local, en USB l'ensemble des imprimantes sont configurer en port USB virtuel, Windows peut donc transférer les données vers un autre port virtuel.
    Pour la partie scanner, le port est un port USB physique afin de gérer l'alimentation du scanner (puissance de la lampe), il vous faut donc un utilitaire qui vous permet de rediriger le flux de donnée réseau vers le port USB.
