No acces to Time Capsule as a disk after upgrading to 10.5 Leopard...

Hi guys - I have serious issue on my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. My Time Capsule is used as WiFi base station and it works perfectly in that role. But I can not access it as a disk! I was doing it without previously but not after upgrading to Leopard ... only problems... I can see TC in the list of shared drives but can not access it. I also can not access airport express which I'm going to use to stream music wirelessly. All that happened after update and change in internet provider. Saying once more - internet works perfectly on all computers, iPod etc. But no access to disk and other airport express... please help. I screwed up probably something on settings...

Is it possible to transfer the iTunes library from my Lap Top to my Desk Top? If so how is the best way to do it?
assuming all your media files are in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to your desktop.
you can use target disk mode, an external HD, or your local network to copy it over.
since an iTunes folder is already present on the desktop, OS X will ask you if you want to replace it with the one you're moving. don't worry and click ok.

Time Capsule won't mount after upgrade to iTunes 9

See my full post in the Time Capsule support section ("Help! Time Capsule won't mount after installing iTunes 9"). My music library is on my Time Capsule, but after installing iTunes 9, it won't mount on my iMac G5. I can use the internet, but the disk won't mount. My Powerbook hasn't been updated yet and the Time Capsule mounts fine.

To make it easier, here's the post:
"My music library is on my 500 Gb Time Capsule. I just installed iTunes 9 on my iMac. It updated my library and synced my iPhone. Now, the TC won't mount. I still have internet connectivity, but I can't access my media or print to my printer connected to the TC. I can use the computer and everything, but if I hover my mouse over the TC disks menu bar icon, I get the spinning beach ball there. If I try to connect using my Network icon in the sidebar, it allows me to log in and get to the screen to select the volume I want to mount, then stops responding. In the Activity Monitor, AFP Client & AirPort Base Station Agent are not responding. I also have a Powerbook G4 w/Leopard (10.5.8) which hasn't been updated to iTunes 9 yet. The Time Capsule mounted fine on it."

Can't access Time Capsule's hard disk after Lion upgrade

I haven't been able to access my TC's hard disk after I upgraded to Lion.
I used to manually backup files to the volume but I can't do it anymore. I can't see the disk in the Finder's sidebar. Devices are all checked in Finder's preferences for sidebar and my WiFi/Internet works fine. Airport Utility doesn't show any problems and upgraded to OS X 10.7.1 but still no luck. I also tried to hook my laptop with ethernet cable and my TC but it didn't work either.
Any ideas?

I'm new to Time Capsule, but I think I have the same problem. I thought I could use Time Capsule as a hard drive, but it comes on and off in my finder. Is this normal?

Time Capsule corrupts hard drive after upgrading to 7.5.2 firmware

I upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule (originally 500GB, upgraded to 2TB) from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2. Immediately after the upgrade, the AirPort utility reported, that the Time Capsule disk needed to be repaired, and the TC blinked the orange light.
As there's no way to repair the disk while inside the TC (or even create 2 partitions), I hooked the disk up to my iMac using a SATA-USB adapter. The Disk Utility found errors in the partition used for Time Machine backups, but was able to fix them. I tried to use the TC again, but it still reported problems with the disk. I ran the Disk Utility again on my iMac, and this time there were errors in the other partition, that is used to share files among our home computers. This time the Disk Utility could not fix the partition, and the TC no longer recognized it after I put the drive back in.
Luckily, I was still able to mount the partition on my iMac via the SATA-USB adapter, and copy the files I didn't have a backup of to safety. I then initialized the partition using the Disk Utility, and put the disk back into the TC. Guess what... yellow light blinking again! Then I did what I should have at the very beginning: downgrade the TC firmware back to 7.4.2. It took quite a while to downgrade, but after it finally rebooted... green light, and no problems reported! Haven't checked with the Disk Utility, but at least everything seems to work like before.
Has anyone experienced similar behaviour? I'm certainly not going back to 7.5.2 again... Could it be, that the 7.5.2 somehow doesn't like more than one partition on the TC disk? Sounds crazy, but that's all I can come up with at this time.

Updating to iTunes 7.7 and OSX 10.5.4 has fixed the problem. Why I don't know.

Mountain lion and time capsule. Extremely slow after upgrade...

After upgrading to the new system, I was trying to copy my iphoto library to my timecapsule, but at this rate, it will be completed within 20 hours... And I´m only transferring 11 gb... I also checked my connection speed to the timecapsule and it´s at 450mb... So, why is it going to take 20 hours??? This is an issue that needs to be adressed... I have the brand new Timecapsule. It´s also not doing a backup while I´m transferring...
Hoping this will be resolved immedately...

I noticed that Time Machine erased all of my previous backups and started fresh. I woudl be willing to bet that the sluggishness you expereinced was because Time Machine was making a full backup. It proably became more quick once it finished this since it could perform incremental backups thereafter.

HT201250 Time capsule no longer works after upgrading to Mavericks

I have upgraded to mavericks and my time capusle no longer back up. Will Apple be sending out a fix. Forums show lots of apple apologists trying various work arounds and some losing data. When will Apple be sending out a fix.
First Mail was crashing and with the new fix finally Mail is working ... when can we expect the fix for TC and mavericks.

Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to time capsule-the backup disk is not available

Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to time capsule-the backup disk is not available

Reboot the network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap.
This is just standard windows.. woops, Mac OS networking now.

Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Capsule".The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Macintosh.sparsebundle" is already in use.

When I back up my macbook pro to time capsule 3TB, this appears:
"Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Time Capsule”.The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Macintosh.sparsebundle” is already in use."
and I'm not able to back up. What do I do?

As noted in the link I posted, that's fine if you're the only user logged-on to the only Mac using the TC's disks (internal and/or USB externals). If not, that may corrupt other data being written, especially other backups.

Mac loses Time Capsule (3TB, MD033) disk all the time

Hello! Strange problem - my OS X devices (iMac 2012 27* and MacBook Retina 13 2013) lose Time Capsule 3TB disk all the time.
To be more precise: in finder when I click AirPort I have a "Connecting..." rolling all the time.
2-3 minutes pass and iMac connects OK. Only to lose this disk again some time later.
I would blame malfunctioning TC but I replaced it already to absolutely new one and have EXACTLY the same problems.
The most amusing - is that physically connection is perfect. If you opened file from this disk (for example, watching the film, or copying the file from or to it) it NEVER fails. you watch the film from TC disk dor few hours and everything is fine. Besides, my PC connected to the same TC NEVER loses connection. But iMac (wire connection) and MacBook - have same symptoms.
Furthermore - Time Machine (both on iMac or MacBook) NEVER loses this disk and makes a backup even if I cannot access this disk from Finder.
And one more strange thing - the Time Machine WAS losing disk, before upgrade to 10.10.1 (from 10.10). But after installing 10.10.1 the problem was gone from Time Machine but remained for Finder.
I wonder - what's wrong with it? Is seems so unlikely for apple to have such bugs.

Oh you are quite wrong.. Apple have heaps and heaps of network bugs.. Yosemite went a bridge too far with the wireless handoff to iOS.. that causes mayhem.. but there are other issues as well.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

Look at the more like this on the right column of the web page.
This is the most common error here.. we answer it 5-10times every day.
Simple method.. pull out the TC power cord .. count to 10.. plug in the TC power cord.
Look at the other references for more info.

Airport time capsule connection to disk fails, requires reboot

I have a 3TB airport time capsule. It has been upgraded to 7.7.3. The AirPort side works great with all the apple and win devices in our home network. The problem is between my MacBook Pro and the time capsule side. It seems like every few days I lose the ability to either perform a Time Capsule back up or even connect to the disk (which we use for storing files). The only way I can get the connection back is by reloading the Airport unit.
Any suggestions / ideas would be appreciated as this is become a pain.

It does sound a better option to use Time Capsule as the main network device and then extend it with Airport Express. The time capsule is way more powerful than the Airport Express. Also if your Airport Express wasn't brought recently it's probably Wireless G. So if you extend a Wireless G network you only get G and not N. Best advise I can give put your TC in place first and worry about AE later.

HT1175 How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

How do you back up additional hard disks to time capsule? Which disks etc. to you choose?

I can read your question a number of ways.
If you mean a disk plugged into your computer you wish to include in Time Machine backup.. just make sure it is HFS+ formatted and remove it from the exclusion list in the TM preferences.
If you mean a disk plugged into your TC for backup,
You can plug a USB disk into a Time Capsule as long as it is compatible.. and the disk is formatted HFS+, ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
You need a USB powered hub if you want to use multiple hard disks and even one might still need a hub.
Not all external drives are recogised but for example the Touro Deskpro works fine.
You can buy them up to 4TB.. how much added space do you want.
Also notice that USB 2 on a TC or AE is slow.. I mean half the speed of the same disk plugged into your computer so consider if speed is relevant to you.
You cannot use TM to backup network disks.. again I am not 100% sure what the question means.

Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion

Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion on both my Macs. It backs up fine when ever I connect to the USB drive but now seems to want to back up hourly when before weekly was OK. When it does not compleye an hourly backup it reports a delayed backup - failure on both machines. How do it revert back to it reminding me to do weekly backups?

I'm having the same issue with Time Machine on OS X Lion!
According to this webpage: http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/LionChanges.html
Backups (i.e., Time Machine, SD, CCC, etc.) will only save the current "Version" of files.
The above statement sounds like the issue @iJRB and myself are having after upgrading to Lion where Time Machine shows the following error message below within "System Preferences > Time Machine"
@iJRB: Is this the error message you are seeing?
