Now Airport Utility says it can't see my devices (Time Capsule and Airport Express,) despite the fact they are working fine.

Any thoughts?

AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3:
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
The AirPort device should now appear in AirPort Utility.

A website says I need to enable cookies despite the fact they are already enabled

I attempt to log into the following website:

and after I fill in my information and click on the login button, it says I need to enable cookies although I already have cookies enabled and I have even specifically allowed this website in the cookie settings. Has anyone else had this problem with other websites and if so, how did you fix it?

It's not you. The page is malformed. See http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.mgmmiragemomentum.com&charset=%28detect+au tomatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 which indicates the errors. Also, I suspect bad java scripts. You need to contact the site's webmaster. They're using java scripts that fails for the latest versions of Safari and FireFox. Especially frustrating for Mac users who work for them.

Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
Any thoughts or pointers?

Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

Cloning as a Backup Strategy
Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

HT1449 Can I just move my movie files and leave my music files where they are?

Can I just move my movie files and leave my music files where they are?

Yes, but bear in mind if you move the movie files, any files, from the iTunes media folder iTunes will not know where they are and therefore cannot access them. It will be up to you to tell iTunes were they are in order to use the files.

Speakers have quit working no sound and it says they are working fine

Speakers have quit working no sound and it says they are working fine

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55036.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Can I connect to my Time Capsule from any where via the internet ?

I want to be able to connect to my Time Capsule when I'm on the road. How can I do so?

Do a google for remote time capsule connection.
Yes, it is very easy using a Mac if you have static public IP and the TC is the main router.
It can be done via iCloud and BTMM.. again just look it up.
It is very very hard to do it without iCloud Lion and latest TC firmware or static IP.
It should be accessed by AFP.. means no windows machines.
It should be considered carefully as there are some risks.. passwords my not be exchanged encrypted..
The right way is vpn using a vpn router and TC in bridge.

New hd can't see backup on time capsule

I just upgraded my wifes macbook 2007 or 2008 with a new hard drive. I had her old on backed up on my time machine and when I tried to retore it only see my macbook pro backup and not hers. I see both backups on the drive, so Its there, but it wont recognize on her machine.
Any help would be good.
Her specs are:
snow leopard but will be lion once I get it up and running
just upgraded to 500 gig HD and 4 gig Ram
Thanks

I presume the upgrade. so called.. was to Yosemite.
With Yosemite it is network wise more akin to a pair of tin cans and a wet string you used as kids for communication.
Effectively you need to start over.
Reset the TC to factory.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
The TC should now appear in the airport utility as unconfigured TC. You can now do the configuration.
Please do not use Apple recommendations for names.. this is important. Short names no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgenx (x can be actual gen for base station name) and TCwifi (wireless name).
WPA2 Personal password for wireless must be pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. say 8-20 characters.
Once you do this you will need to redirect TM to the new location.
BUT I strongly advise you not to mess your old backup. Rename the computer under sharing in preferences and start a new clean backup.
See A4 here.

Apple have a start.. but this goes no where near far enough.

My non Apple WIFI card can only see 2.4Ghz Time Capsule WIFI network

I have a 2TB Apple Time Capsule, running v7.5 & offering both a 2.4 & 5.0Ghz WIFI network.
My Linksys WUSB600N card that is plugged into my download & media server (running Window 7) can only see the 2.4Ghz network. I've confirmed that I'm running the latest drivers for the card.
My 13" Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo X31 with Intel WIFI can see both the 2.4 & 5.0 GHz networks that I've setup on my Time Capsule.

After a little bit more digging, I've managed to find my own answer. For some reason the WUSB600N isn't able to see the high 5.0Ghz channels, no matter how I configured the driver settings (ensuring that all the correct channel ranges were enabled).
Once I hard coded the 5.0Ghz channel on the Time Capsule to channel 48, I'm able to see the network & connect without issue.
Hope this helps someone else.

Can't see network thru time capsule

i've added a time capsule to the campus network and am now unable to see or access the rest of the network
i have to go to another wireless hub to see our remote server or anyone else
i longer have access to the ip printer
how do i solve this issue
i have internet access

Per chance did you connect the Time Capsule (TC) directly to an Ethernet connection that provides access to the campus network? If so, did you reconfigure the TC as a bridge (ref: Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))?

Airport express (802.11n) in client mode: works fine but problem

Hi,
I use the airport express in client mode on my existing wireless network (router netgear dg834n and macbook pro).
The client mode works fine: I have connected it to my existing network with WPA2 security system and also mac adress filtering in the router.
I also have connected the Airport express via ethernet to my satellite receiver and it is always connected without interruption, and always green.
BUT
i always lose the possibility to use airtunes. I mean: When I go to itunes or if I try to connect to the airport interface, I can't. I have to plug it off from electricity, and plug it on again, wait the connection, and I can have access and use itunes. Then, If my Mac goes into sleep mode and then wake up again, I lose the airtunes connection and the connection to the interface. Meanwhile, the light is still green and my sat receiver connected.
Please help me!
Thanks

Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
Here's the basic setup:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

I have an airport extreme. I just bought a time capsule and want to replace the extreme with it. I am not technically savy and when i go to do it, it keeps telling me i haev errors and i have no idea what to do, because it mentions things like DNS, etc

can i use both at the same time?

Replacing your router is like a heart transplant for your network. Everything changes.
Power down your modem, disconnect your Extreme, and connect the new Time Capsule. Power up the modem and then the TC.
AirPort Utility will lead you through its setup.
You may need to reconfigure your wireless printers and anything else that was a client of the Extreme.
You may use both at the same time, but only one device should function as your router. Decide which one that will be - it doesn't really matter which, assuming they are both recently produced units. The Extreme can be used to "extend" the TC's wireless network, or the other way around.

I can't find my device on iTunes and I have done the hide bar and show bar, but it still isn't working.

I need help syncing my iPod Touch to my iTunes. It's a replacement iPod and not all of my information was transferred. I am also using a different computer than the one I used for my last iPod. So I'm trying to put the songs on my iTunes onto my iPod, but the iPod is not opening in iTunes its opening as its own file. So, iTunes isn't showing that I have a device. Please help me.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
