My Time Capsule location is not correct. It thinks it is in Alabama. It is in Tennessee.

Was the Time Capsule or your Mac ever located in Alabama?
Where are your ISP offices located?
Have you tried resetting the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then setting it up again? If yes, it may take Apple's location services servers 4-6 weeks to pick up the new location.

My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

Dear all,
I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
Thanks fo your help.

Hi Larry,
Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
It's a 1 To Capacity.

Clémentine
That is a bad idea
1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for you TM backup

I have set up my time capsule but can not see it in finder

I have setup my time capsule, I can see it on the network and have done an initial backup, I can see it under shared devices in finder but when I open it I cannot see any files in the folder

If you have backed up your Mac using Time Machine to the Time Capsule, you would not use the Finder to see the files on the Time Capsule.
If you want to see the backups, click on the Time Machine "clock" icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen and wait a few minutes for everything to load.
Use the scale at the right of the screen to move from different recent backup times or dates. Select the time that you want and use the Finder like interface to navigate to locate a file or folder.
More info on Time Machine is available in this Apple support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427

Trying to restore after getting a new hard drive. I can see the backup on the Time Capsule and on the correct date but it is Greyed out. That is it wont let me open it and restore the machine. Have tried also Migration Assistant, no luck.

At startup hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys until you see a globe on the screen. Then use disk utility to partition and format the drive HSF+ and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. whatever version of OS X that originally came on your system will be installed and then you can upgrade back to Mavericks.

I have a 27inch iMac with snow leopard and 1 user, and a 24 inch (older) upgraded to yosemite and 5 users. I want to wipe the 27 inch and transfer everything on the 24 to it. I do have time capsule 3tb but not sure how to do it

Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac?

Hi all - Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router given that my Uverse router works splendidly. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac? Sorry if this is a boneheaded question, but this is my first time backing up my machine ( I know, foolish). Thanks!

Your problem will be if you use wireless for internet then you cannot do both internet and backup at once.. you still should plug the TC into the uverse router and set it in bridge mode.. you can setup wireless if you like on the TC and use either TC or uverse but you must work out how to do both at once.
If you use ethernet on the Mac then wireless to backup is also a bit of an issue.. please ask as I can show you the setup.. or visa versa.. wireless for internet and ethernet for backup..

Time capsule now does not work with Lion just installed.

Just downloaded Lion to Mac Air. Time capsule now does not work. Where is the problem?

Restart the TC.. lion is stupid.. it forgets what it is connected to with alarming frequency ... like someone suffering dementia.
If it continues to have issues, plug the TC directly to the lion computer by ethernet (if not already) and try again. Change the wireless to manual in airport utility and change the wireless name.. to force a new configuration. Once setup you can just use wireless.
In the end you may need to reset the TC.. just hold in the reset button for about 10sec. It should then become available.. a reset does not do anything to data on the hard drive but you might need to restore any passwords.

Extra hard disk via USB time capsule (2TB) does not show in finder etc

I've found hunderds of questions that look alike but not one has solved it.
I have a Time Capsule with 2 TB hard disk. In all descriptions of the TC Apple states that an extra drive can be attached through the USB.
I did that. Wanting to create an extra network drive. I connected a (Apple formatted) WD Essential to the USB. With te newest airport configuration programm I do not see the hard drive. I do see it with version 5.6. BUT: I cannot see what is on it and so (not) select anything. I don't see it with the finder. I did do everything to make sharing possible. When connected directly to IMac it works fine. In airport I selected sharing etc etc. I don't want the disk to be used as a backup system (via Time Machine). Just an extra network disk. Please help.

I don't have a Time Capsule; I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, which is similar except for not having the built-in storage. Since your question got moved from the initial category (where you posted it) to Time Capsule, maybe someone else who has a Time Capsule will pop by with some advice. If you don't get any more replies (other than from me), you may want to summarized what you learned so far, and post a new question (in this category). New questions often get more views and responses.
With a Time Capsule, you can share the built-in hard drive as general network storage (not just for Time Machine purposes), is that correct? Does that work for you? Can you set that up using the latest version of AirPort Utility?
If you set that up, I'm guessing it would appear in a Finder window in the same way. The Time Capsule appears in the Finder window sidebar, under SHARED. When you select it, the Time Machine's built-in shared volume appears to the right, and you can mount it using whatever security settings you used. If you have an external drive attached to the Time Capsule as well, and it is set up to be shared, it appears as a second shared volume. It is still just that one Time Capsule under SHARED in the Finder window's sidebar, but to the right, there are now two shared volumes. But I don't have a Time Capsule, so I'm not sure about that...
I don't know why the latest version of AirPort Utility does not see the external drive volume? If possible, I would try another USB storage device (even if it's a 4GB thumb drive), to confirm it does work, and it's not a hardware problem on the Time Capsule's USB port.
Also, if you have not tried so far, you may want to reset your Time Capsule (to give it a fresh start).

Time Capsule internal HD not detected!

Hi guys, I've just purchased a Time Capsule 500GB, just got home and pluged it in, all the airport function works well, but I'm not able to detect the hard drive in it at all.
Isn't it suppost to be plug and play ? Maybe my unit is defective (I hope not, the Apple Store is very far from my home!!)

It pretty much is, but you do have to run Airport Utility. Check out the [TimeCapsule Setup Guide|http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TimeCapsule_SetupGuide.pdf] and see if that doesn't answer your questions.
Basically, you need to run the AirPort Utility, located in /Applications/Utilities/, to set up the Time Capsule. Good luck.

TIme capsule is orange, not present in Airport Utility,

Hi
I have been using my time capsule for backing up but today it is not present in Airport Utiltity, it is flashing orange as well.
Airport utility is searching for it but there's a message stating "no configured airport base stations have been found. airport utility will continue searching".
Under System preference > TIme Machine > it states "back disc is not available" and when I click 'Select Disk', it is present under the heading "Backup Discs" but the only available button is "Remove Disk". And, if I try to search for a new one, it cannot find it.
I would be very grateful if you would kindly help me. I have tried switch the TC on and off at the wall, but this did not help…..Have checked with cable and all see ok.
Thank you

How old and what model is the TC?
Have you checked in other devices.. ipad or iphone etc to see if the TC is running ok? Use the airport utility for iOS if you have igadgets.
Otherwise what OS is on the computer? Did you recently upgrade or update? 10.9.4 just went out and may cause some issues.
I have tried switch the TC on and off at the wall, but this did not help…..Have checked with cable and all see ok.
Excellent start. A full network reboot is also in order. Restart the whole network thusly.
modem.. wait 2min..
TC.. wait 2min..
rest of the stuff.
Everything must boot from off, not sleep/standby.
No luck. Follow these steps.
1. Factory reset.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
2. Ensure ipv6 is turned on to link-local in the computer for both wireless and ethernet if you use it.
eg wireless.
3. Go to the airport utility. (or via the wifi icon in the top menu area). It will show a device ready for setup.
Run through the setup wizard.
Please do not use the proffered names. eg Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule (Wireless)
It is far too long.. it has spaces and it has illegal apostrophe.
Please use a base station name like TCgenx (I fill in x with the actual generation).. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Please use a wireless name like TCwifi (I use TC24ghz and TC5ghz to keep the bands separate).
Complete the Wizard.
4. See if you can now mount the TC hard disk in Finder. If it fails, do it manually.
In the top menu Go> Connect to Server.
Type in AFP://TCgenx.local (Replace with your actual name. Local is the domain name and can help)
or
Type in AFP://10.0.1.1 (replace with the TC actual IP address .. that is the default when TC is router. This will only work when static though).
It will request your password. Type that in and store in the keychain.
5. Reset TM and point it to the newly named TC.
See A4 here for more details.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Do not worry if it shows it is going to start the whole backup. It will find the old backup once it starts. Nothing you are doing here will mess the original backups.
You are just correcting certain weaknesses is the network standards.
No luck post back with as much detail as possible.. modem, how the TC is connected to modem and computer, computer type and OS etc.

When I set up a guest network on my time capsule nothing can not connect to this network

I have an airport time capsule and I set up a guest network on it. This network is visible, but I can not connect to this using my mac, windows lap tops iPhone and samsung galaxy note 4.

Actually the TC is the main router, but the problem is when I put this on NAT DHCP mode
The device that you call your "modem" is very likely a modem/router or gateway type of device that combines both the functions of a modem and router in one package.
The Guest Network feature will only work correctly when the TC connects to a pure modem.....not a modem/router or gateway.
To see if this is really your problem, please post back with the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem" so we can see exactly what you have.

Je viens d.installer Time capsule airport , il fonctionne correctement pour les sauvegardes mais la connexion ethernet pour les autres appareils ne se fait pas pourtant j.ai bien branché un câble ethernet entre airport et ma box ?

Je viens d.installer Time capsule airport , la connexion pour internet se fait correctement
J.ai bien créé un réseau pour mes autres appareils mais la connexion ethernet ne se fait pas, l.ordinatueur indique que le câble n.est pas branche, alors que j.ai bien installé un câble tout neuf entre airport et ma box Sfr
Donc je peux sauvegarder mon Mac et c.est tout je ne peux relier mon iPad et mon iPhone à airport
Que faut il faire ?

Ok, i finally succeeded
Now the TC is linked by WiFi, but as you said, now, it's just an external device, impossible to join it :/
And it's not what i want because i need to access to it outside
If i'm right now, i say thank you, you really helped me even if it's not what i want exactly.
So Ethernet :/
Thx
---------------------------------------------- Translation
Pour les français, en gros, je dois utilisé le logiciel AirPort Utility version 5.6 (mais il me semble que le 6.0 le fait aussi en faite, j'ai pas trop regardé du coup) pour pouvoir non pas créer un nouveau réseau sans fil mais en rejoindre un
Grace à cela, la TC se connecte à la box sans fil mais devient un appareil externe, ce qui veut dire qu'on ne peux pas se connecter dessus en sans fil ou même y accéder de l'extérieur (comme moi)
Juste y accéder comme une clé USB et accéder au donnée, rien de plus.

I have a MacBook and cannot connect to App Store. I have no problem with the internet connection. I want to be able to buy the apps that are available for my computer. The date, time and location are all correct - all the suggestions have failed

I have a MacBook - I am unable to connect to App Store - I have no problems using the internet to connect to anything else. I have checked out all the suggestions - Apple Preference and time, date, location etc. they are all correct. I cannot think what else I should do. Any suggestions please Cynthiafromgrayshott.

If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

Had one mac backed up with TC went to back another to same time capsule now can not find back up for original mac

Had my main mac computer in office for many weeks backed up with TC, all was fine. Earlier today went to back up my Mac Book to the same TC. All appeared to go fine. However went to original mac to see the back ups from the main mac. Said connection error could n ot connect. I can not find any of the original back ups?
I was told that it was a straight forward procedure to add another computer's backups?

On the main computer I try and enter the Time Machine and it is telling me that there is no Location for Time Machine Backups. It then tells me that I need to set time machine up again. I then select the time capsule and ask to use it for back up. It then goes on to tell me that "There was an error connecting to server. Check server name or IP Address, then try again.

My Time capsule location is not correct. It thinks it is in Alabama.
