Newest TC (late 2009) 5Ghz band connection timeout!

Ok, i have had al 3 versions of Time Capsule.
First one, no good 5ghz connection. Dropped out constantly.
Second gen, simultaneous band. (very good No problems on 5Ghz. Always 300Mbit.
Now i got the newest TC today (the simultaneous II)
I can't get the 5 Ghz to work. I tried different channels, country's, names. I only get the fault connection interrupted. Can;t get in. No problems at 2,4 ghz. I am very close to the TC. That can't be the problem, especially since the new TC has even better antenna's. (i had very good coverage with the second gen).
What am i doing wrong? anyone else same problems? Golden tips?
Thanx

Here's just a short description of my troubles with Time Capsule.
Problems with 5GHz on TC (Simultaneous Dual-Band II) and iMac 27" Core 2 Duo.
Totally default settings won't even operate in 5GHz, just b/g/n (link speed 130). iMac and TC have clear line of sight and are about 3 meters apart.
I do manage to get 5GHz connection when I select Wireless Options 5 GHz Network Name and make different from 2.4Gz Network. I use wide channels (have also tried without). Very often iMac won't connect to 5GHz Network but sometimes it does. (I have tried interference robustness, no use.)
When it does connect link speed is 300 and signal levels are pretty good -40dB with -90dBn noise. Copying files in Finder between TC and iMac I get over 10MB/s speeds, which is nice. BUT Time Machine is not able to backup anything. It gives various errors at different stages of backup. "Calculating changes" forever, "Making backup disk available". In system.log:
"Authentication error - the correct user or password info may not exist in the System.keychain or the server may no longer allow access for this user."
"Indexer unavailable (200)"
"Backup failed with error: 19"
"Backup failed with error: 29"
"Stopping backupd to allow ejection of backup destination disk!"
"Error: Flushing index to disk returned an error: 0"
When I switch back to 2.4GHz (worse signal), TM works again.

  • Can iMac 27 late 2009 enter TDM connected to a Mac Pro late 2013?

    I'm trying to get an iMac 27 late 2009 to enter target display mode when connected to a Mac Pro late 2013.
    I tried with Apple's Thunderbolt cable and pressing Command + F2 on the iMac did nothing.
    So I bought a Mini DisplayPort cable, and now Command + F2 makes the iMac's screen turn black for a second and then back.
    After rebooting, before logging in, if I press Command + F2 it actually works for about 2 seconds and then back to the iMac's screen. After this, if I keep trying it just flashes black.
    So, my question is, has anyone managed to connect this two devices?
    Should I buy another cable? Format the iMac? Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on both machines.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know what more I can add to the initial post.
    The second Mini DisplayPort cable that I tried is Belkin, I don't think there are better cables for this, since Apple is not selling it anymore.
    I did mentioned that if I restart the iMac, before logging in with any user, pressing command + F2 or simply connecting the cable will actually work, it shows up as a second display on the Mac Pro, I can move the mouse pointer on the iMac. But after about 2 seconds the iMac exits Target Display Mode, and after this pressing Command + F2 will only turn iMac's monitor black for about a second and not entering TDM anymore.
    I even checked the firmware versions and both are up to date according to this.

  • Mac Mini (late 2009) won't connect to wireless internet

    The strangest thing happened to me just recently, a conflicting IP address appeared on my Mac Mini (late 2009) a few days ago. This IP was from one of my other computers. After this other computer had been shut down ever since, I keep on getting theses window messages saying "There is a conflicting IP tommiller". I decided to restart my Mac mini only a few hours ago. I returned and the message stopped appearing, but now I can't connect to my wireless Internet. An exclamation mark appears over the airport icon in the menu bar. I took forth all the steps to restart my wireless router, but nothing worked. The wireless works fine on all my devices except the Mac mini. What really freaked me out is that I have a portable Verzion MIFI, and my Mac Mini can't even connect to that. I'm very knowledgeable with Macs, but I've never had this happen to me before. My worst nightmare would be that the wireless card is shot. If anyone has the answer to end my stressful night, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Tom Miller

    Log onto your router and see what IP address are being used.
    Then try setting a fixed IP address well away from any of those, using Network settings in system preferences. See if that solves the problem.

  • Could wifi with a university network drop often because of a 5ghz band connection?

    Hey guys,
    I've been having wifi issues at my school/work (same location) with the connection dropping randomly. It seems to happen several times an hour. I purchased a MBA months ago and had no problems with wifi connectivity till recently. My school has acquired a new access point in the facility. It was right around the release of Mavericks. So now I've become unclear on whether it's the network or the new OS. Anyways, the network is WPA 2 enterprise with dual-band connectivity. This past week I have done my fair share of studying on dual-band technology and now understand perks and downfalls to 2.4ghz versus 5ghz bands. That reading was due to a connection issue at home. However, today I finally realized that I was connected to the 5ghz band at work/school by using the option key and clicking the wifi icon. After browsing through several forums, I was still unsure if A) the 5ghz band was responsible for wifi dropping, and B) Whether or not I could disable the wifi from defaulting to the 5ghz and use 2.4ghz as a solution instead.
    Since I could not find answers to those two questions I have tried the following...
    I changed the MTU to "1453" since it's the so-called "magic number" for mac's. And yes, so far it is the magic number because the wifi has not dropped once since applying it. I'm still standing by, convinced it will drop. Wireless diagnostics is currently monitoring if it does. Typically I use the ethernet adapter so I don't have to worry about any of this. That's a fix, but not the one I'm looking for. It's flat out annoying! I know I can try renewing the DHCP lease as well. I haven't done it yet because I'm seeing if the MTU was the sole source of the problem. I've already performed basic troubleshooting and like usual it didn't solve anything. That's not to say that restarting doesn't cover a higher percentage of issues!
    Honestly the MTU change could be the end of my problems, but I'd still like some insight on my two questions in the first paragraph. Any guidance is strongly appreciated. I've been loving my mac and the community since I made the switch not too long ago. I'm just still familiarizing myself with everything. Thanks in advance for any help!

    That's correct.
    When it's unable to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, machines are supposed to self-assign themselves an address from the 169.254.x.x range.
    This is so that you can, for example, connect two machines with an Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi without the need for a DHCP server and the two machines will be able to talk to each other.
    (If you care, you can read the technical details here.)
    So the big question here is why your machine is failing to obtain an address via DHCP, and it sounds like an issue with the DHCP servers on your network.
    If you want to read more than you probably would ever want to know about how one campus is dealing with similar issues, you can here.)

  • 5ghz Network, connection timeout

    Hi all, 
    So up until today I was able to connect to my 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks just fine. Now today I get a message that the connection timed out whenever I try and connect to the 5ghz. 
    I have done a 30/30/30 reset, and still no joy. The one thing I haven't done yet is a 30/30/30 with a configuration from scratch. I will probably try that later. I've done the usual things like change the channel and all that, still no go. Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone had experienced anything like this on the new e4200v2. 
    Other things I've done, change the network name, change the MTU, restart my machine. However, this is happening on other devices as well. The 2.4ghz network, solid as a rock.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nevermind, I got it figured out. I did a factory reset and configured from scratch. Something in my config must have gotten corrupted.

  • Imac Late 2009 Model Internet Connection Issue

    I have been experiencing something odd since I upgraded to Lion. I was not losing wifi signal, but I am connected to my
    router full on and some pages choose to open and others do not.
    So I downgraded back to 10.6.8 and it carried over with it.
    I then did a fresh install and everything was good till again for the last 3 months I will be cruising the net
    and BAM! I cannot open certain pages. So I either have to hit empty Cache on Safari or Turn Airport Off and
    then back On. I even deleted Safari and reinstalled it. But this issue happens to all browsers as well...Firefox,Chrome, ETC.....
    I have checked all Firewall settings, I have deleted my airport card and then +'ed it on again.
    I am really at a lose here.
    The thing I do not get is it Software or Hardware? I am connected to my router and it just will not pull up random pages.
    Then I go to another page and its working. I use CLEAN MY MAC and make sure everything is clean once a week.
    My father owns a new 27" iMac and never has this isssue at all. So I do know its not my router.
    My iMac is a December 2009 3.06 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo and 8 gigs of 1067 in it.
    Please let me know if I should ask this in another thread or any information in general.
    THANKS
    JOSHUA

    Also a update I just noticed that Safari will now not save Bookmarks and History when I close the browser!
    MAN OH MAN.

  • How many screen monitors can I use with late 2009 Mac Mini?

    hey guys. I have a Mac mini from late 2009 that is connected with 2 screen monitors, and I was wondering if I can add another one through one of the usb ports? If so, can I use a usb to vga adapter to plug it in? thanks for any answers!

    You can add multiple USB monitors or USB video adapters, but realize that USB video is usually quite a bit slower than "normal" video cards.  So don't display Youtube or other moving video on the USB device.  Me personally, I have a Mimo 7" USB monitor and I have my calendar displayed on that.
    You can also get the Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go to add more monitors to a single video port.  It has much better performance than a USB video adapter, but of course costs quite a bit more.

  • WDS on the 2.4Ghz Band of a Late 2009 Airport Extreme?

    I recently added a dual radio late 2009 Airport Extreme as the foundation of my home network. I have the 2.4Ghz band set up as 802.11a/g only for my "g" clients and the 5Ghz band as 802.11n for my "n" clients. I have extended the 5Ghz "n-only" segment of my network to two remote Airport Expresses using the extend my network feature. I would also like to extend the 2.4Ghz "g" segment of my network using WDS (the only option, I believe) to an older Airport Express that I have. Is it possible to participate in a WDS network on the 2.4Ghz band only? I tried this last night (using the Airport Extreme 2.4Ghz MAC address and the older Airport Express MAC address) and kept getting a WDS error on the Airport Extreme. That may have been the result of a configuration error on my part, but I couldn't resolve it and ended up having to reset and reconfigure the Airport Extreme. Before I invest more time in another attempt, I was hoping to confirm whether what I am trying to do is possible. Has anyone been able to implement an arrangement like the one I am attempting?

    +Would the wireless setup on the access point be "Create a Wireless Network" but then entering the same SSID, radio mode, security, etc. that the AEBS "g" network segment uses?+
    Yes, exactly correct.
    But, ideally you would set the channel on the "remote" access point at least 5 channels away from the channel that the guest network was using on the AEBS to minimize the chances for wireless interference. You could try the channel set to "Automatic" and test to see if that works OK. In theory, the "Automatic" setting will do what you want. But it does not always do this.
    Your setup should work very well. Please post back on your results.

  • What do I need to connect my late 2009 Mac book (mini display port) to the TV and get sound?

    I'm totally confused!
    I have a late 2009 model Macbook. And I want to connect it to my TV.
    So my research has led to believing I need a Mini display port adapter and a HDMI cable - but from some of what I have read, this won't carry sound...
    Can anyone clarify this and what I do actually need?

    The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with theHDMI.
    If you have the Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the MiniDisplay Port there is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.

  • Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

    I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
    So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
    But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
    Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

    The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
    Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

  • Connecting my Late 2009 Macbook to a Samsung Series 5 TV

    So I'm trying to connect my Late 2009 Macbook upto my Series 5 Samsung TV and I've stumbled across a bit (a lot!) of difficulty.
    I have the picture coming through perfectly on my MiniDisplayport to HDMI connection but I can't for the life of me work out how to get the sound through as well. I have literally every cable at my disposal at the minute, RCA to audio, optical with a TOSlink connector and a standard 3.5mm audio cable. I assumed the optical to TOSlink connector would be my best option but no such look, I've tried every combination I can think of. Whenever I connect the TOSlink connector in, the sound icon greys out immediately and my TV doesn't appear in the Output list.
    I'm really hoping somebody would be able to help me out, I'm fast running out of options, something I thought might be a good idea is quickly turning into a bit of a pain...

    The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

      If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

  • I am trying to connect a desktop PC to an iMac Late 2009

    Hello there. I have a Late 2009 iMac with the mini displayport on the back. Currently, I am running a video card on my Windows desktop PC that has a minidisplay port. I currently use a mini displayport to mini displayport cable and it works/displays fine. However, I just upgraded the video card in the PC, and the new card does not have a mini displayport. The new card has HDMI, DVI, and a normal displayport. I found a displayport to minidisplay port cable - but I wasn't sure if that would work because most people using it stated that they were using the cable to connect to projectors or external monitors.
    My question is - can I use this cable to display my PC on the iMac 2009 27 screen? And if not, are there any solutions that won't cost me more than $10 to $20?

    As I understand it, it won't work with that cable, & there are converters but quite expensive.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot connect to my Airport Extreme on the 5GHz band (2.4GHz works fine)...what's going on?

    I have been having intermittent/no wireless success on the 5GHz band of my Airport Extreme.  I'm on an iMac early 2008.  It was working fine before upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I have tried many things (deleting the wireless network, readding it, changing settings on the AirPort Extreme, deleting the 5GHz network on that and readding it, running diagnostics) but nothing has fixed it.  I can switch to the 2.4GHz band and it works flawlessly.  This must be a software problem since it only started happening when I upgraded the OS.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    No it isn't, I have tried 4 different mountain lion machines connected to a 5Ghz and it works just fine. It is with your machine hence we need to fix it
    create a new location and see if that fixes your issue, If not trash Macintosh HD/Library/System Configuration
    That is a folder so trash it > restart the computer > create a new location

  • I have a macbook 13" late 2009 and would like to connect my TV to macbook to view video with sound. What cable do I need to mack work?

    I have a macbook 13" late 2009 operating system OS10.9.2.
    I would like to connect my macbook to my TV . I have connected a mini DVI / HDMI cable to my tv which works for the picture but have no sound.
    How do I get the sound to work?
    Thanks

    When you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. But check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
