My time capsule stopped giving WIRED devices IP addresses (Wireless is fine). How do I fix this?
I have several devices on my network, and am using a 2TB Time Capsule.
All of my wireless devices work fine- including 2 MBP's, iPad's, iPhones, etc. However, none of my WIRED devices (Xbox, Printer, PC's) are connecting anymore. To be specific, none of them are getting IP addresses. This is obviously an issue, since I'd like all my devices to be networked.
No changes have been made to my Time Capsule in probably 6 months. I literally woke up this morning and none of my wired devices were connecting (eg, my wife complained that the printer wasn't working).
None of the devices are faulty, as I was able to bypass the Time Capsule and plug directly into the cable modem, which then provided an IP address.
I am not aware of how to troubleshoot a Time Capsule. This is the first time I've ever had an issue. Can anyone offer some next steps? (I've already restarted it several times, tried checking Airport Utility but there doesn't seem to be any option on configuring DHCP options).
Thanks,
Greg
If you call Apple, the first thing that they will ask you to do is power off all devices on the entire network.
Wait at least 30 minutes. Longer will not hurt.
Start the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself.
Then start the Time Capsule the same way.
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up.
Check the network and report on your results.

My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?
Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.

Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere. -
I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.
If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue. -
Since I downloaded Maverick, I cannot find my External Hard Drive in the "Finder" area. I have to unplug all the time the hard drive to be recognized by my iMac. How can I fix this problem? Thank You.
Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

For the fan issue, see if you can reset the SMC > Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Itunes gets to 99% then stops, does any one have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
When trying to download Itunes 10.5.1 the download reaches 99% then stops after a while it will say download has been interupted. I have tried using another browsers, disabling firewall and I have followed all the steps or uninstalling and reinstalling as suggested on the website. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can fix this it would be much appriciated.
Many thanksDisable your firewall and antivirus software. It can cause problems with the update process. Kaspersky is especially bad for this.

Is this a Windows error? If so, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. If you do, try reinstalling iTunes. If that doesn't work, try manually starting the service.

Why do disconnected devices continue to show up? How do I fix this?
I run an iPad project for my school and have found that some of my devices continue to show up as connected in iTunes when they aren't. Is there an easy way to fix this? I suspect it happened when some devices were accidentally ejected without following the protocol. Thanks.
Select the device in iTunes.
On the Summary tab uncheck Sync over wifi then Apply.
