OSX Mavericks problems with iMail new mail sound and Time Capsule back-up symbol

Since I updated to Mavericks, the New Messages Sound in iMail does not work; there is no sound. As well, the time capsule back-up clock-face symbol in the top menu no longer moves when the computer is being backed-up. Any ideas?

Exactly what did you do? Did you do a full system restore, after starting from your Recovery HD, per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
When it was complete, I re-started my computer and I would see the Apple icon in the middle of my screen for about 10 seconds then the screen would go blank then several lines of messages were visible with the message the computer would not boot.
This one?
If so, that's a kernel panic. All you need to do is install a fresh version of OSX. See #E8 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Problem with old VoIP between modem and Time Capsule

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this..
For a job I used to have, I had a D-Link DVG-5102S VoIP adapter/router that I had to have between my Motorola DSL modem and my Time Capsule WiFi.
The service that the D-Link was used for has been shut off for a long time, but I don't seem to be able to get rid of it. When I remove it, and try to re-configure things on the Time Capsule so that it has the DSL login info, my internet access stops working.
Currently, the D-Link has the DSL login info, and distributes 192.168.15.x addresses to the Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule has the following info:
Base Station tab:
Base station name, password, Back to my Mac account/password
Internet tab:
Connect using: DHCP, IP Address 192.168.15.160, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, Router address 192.168.15.1, Primary DNS Server 192.168.15.1
Wireless tab:
Create a Wireless network, Wireless network name <my WiFi network>, Wireless SEcurity WPA2 Personal, Wireless Password/Verify Password
Network tab:
Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
Everything else is greyed out
Disks:
My time capsule backup disk.
Does anyone have any ideas for how I should go about getting rid of that stupid VOIP thing?
Thanks!

Your DSL modem has probably locked on to the D-Link box's MAC address. Since the TIme Capsule has a different MAC address than the D-link, the DSL modem doesn't know what to do with it.
(MAC address btw has nothing to do with Mac computers - it is an alphanumeric address that is assigned to each and every networking device that's made - yes, including Mac computers.)
Usually turning the DSL modem off and back on should reset it, and the next device that it talks to (hopefully the Time Capsule) will become its new best friend (i.e. it will "remember" the Time Capsule's MAC address). Some DSL modems have a setup page (or setup software) that you must run, to give it a new MAC address. And sometimes only your DSL provider can do this for you (they reset something on their end or something like that). If turning the DSL modem off then on again doesn't do the trick, and your modem either doesn't have a setup application (or you don't see a setting for MAC address), then you'll have to call your provider. Tell them that you switched the device that the modem is plugged into, and they should be able to help you out (theoretically anyway, your actual customer service drone experience may vary).

Ghost Email, new mail sound and no mail, quite often

I have a two part question: I get the new mail sound with the activity next to a mail box but quite often no mail. Sometimes I'll check online to see mail which I haven't gotten on my computer. I play with the Junk Mail settings, which I do not use. I have several RULES which I will turn off just for a test. None of this seems to matter
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz/2 GB SDRAM/ Mac OS X (10.4.9) .Mac & POP

I would like to add many times my .mac mail box will show a number but when clicked on the number would go "poof". It seems my computer is showing the number of emails recieved on the server but not forwarding them, until I go to the web site. I do Rebuild the mailbox and usually I'll get one or two I looked at

Can't copy with LaCie Network Attached Storage and Time Capsule/Airport

Hi,
I bought a Time Capsule to replace my recently faulty modem/router Linksys AG241 and in preparation of buying my first mac in the next few months.
Right now the network is as follows:
— 1 Linksys AM200 modem connected to the TC by ethernet and set to bridge mode
— 2 windowsXP pcs attached by ethernet to the Time Capsule
— 1 NAS (LaCie 2Big Network) attached by ethernet to the Time Capsule
Despite some initial problems configuring the modem in bridge mode, the present problem is the following:
Everytime I try to copy a file (it can be either an 4MB file or an 800MB one) I get this error window:
— Cannot copy "Filename": the specified network name is no longer available
Even when copying a file from one Share of the disk to another! However, have no trouble copying 1KB file, for example.
I've been searching throughout the internet for some days now but couldn't find any answer.
This LaCie NAS External Disk is ethernet-only and can only be connected to a switch or a router. It worked before with my older modem/router. I changed the ethernet cable by another one and I get the same result.
The Time Capsule is cofigured to distribute IPs through DHCP. Right now, I even have enabled the DHCP reservations to assign a static IP to the NAS, and to the Pcs. STill the same result.
This happens on both pcs. Still haven't tried with a wireless device yet (I don't have one).
Can anyone help me solve this?

Ok. I've ran a test on a friend's network in order to clarify if the LaCie NAS was the hardware causing this issue.
Well, it isn't. The NAS worked fine on this other network setting - which uses a different router, modem and 2 different computers.
The test ocurred in Wireless G, though, not by Ethernet connection with the computers.
*So I guess the problem must be on my Time Capsule or Modem?*
*Possibly a configuration issue.*
Does anyone has/had some problem connecting Ethernet External Disks on a Time Capsule/Airport that can share some Solution ?
Please, Help!?

OSx Mavericks problem with "open windows on restart"

I noticed that, after upgrading to OSX Mavericks, although not check the box "open windows on restart", windows left open to off, reappear when I make a new log in. Anyone with the same problem?
Sorry for my English

This happens quite a bit on the recently released beta's of Solaris Express and I would guess OpenSolaris as well. There was a thread on OpenSolaris.org that Jurgen Keil posted that disables some aspects of the CPU that on my system at least alleviated the issues.
I've not seen any reports on it from Solaris 10 so it might be unrelated. Which version of Solaris specifically are you using?

I am using "Create New Mail Account.scpt" to create a POP account. It creates the account successfully. It fetches the mails successfully. Now the problem begins. After fetching all the mails once if u click "Get Mail" in mac mail, it fetches all the emails again and has now 1 original and 1 copy of the email set which is on the server. I just need 1 copy of the mail set not multiple. Please give me a solution or direct me to a help.

Hi amiaba, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I can't quite tell what it's doing, but open Keychain Access in Applications>Utilities, click on your Keychain on the left, put .mac in the search bar, once you find it, double click on it and click show password.
If you have no mail in there try this with Mail quit.
Drag this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Start Mail & see if it steps you through it.
Not sure on the .uk thing, but is Date & Time>Time Zone set to the UK?

Problems with installing new hard drive using time machine

Hi,
I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15" Macbook Pro (unibody) with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and a 250 GB Sata HD running OS 10.6.7.
It works like a dream.
However, i bought a new 1 TB HD (WD Scorpio Blue) since a) 250 GB is not enough for me right now b) warranty has expired, so new risk there and c) i read that installing it would be very easy.
I'll try so explain what i did, see if anyone finds what could be wrong...
I had some minor problem in the beginning (i didn't use the install disk of the macbook pro at first, because it was at the office, so i used the install disk of my old Alu iMac), but using the right disk, i opened "Restore Disk from Backup", selected the Time Machine disk, and waited for the target drive to appear. It didn't...
Finally i figured, maybe he doesn't find it because it hasn't been formatted yet (although it says on the HD that the Scorpio Blue is ready to use as is). So i openen disk utility from the utility folder and formatted the disk as "OS Journaled". As expected (?) the disk appeared as a target Restore Disk. I selected it and "restore" started. It took some hours and finally i receive a message: restore complete (or something like that). But then... after the restart i say the apple logo (as always) followed by the 'i don't know how you call it'-screen: a grey screen coming down like a curtain that says something like: you have to hold down the power button and then press it again tot restart (in a dozen or so languages including mandarin or japanese...). Off course i tried to restart several times, always with the same result.
I switched back to my old drive and it still works like a dream ;-)
So now i'm typing this message, can someone point out to me what could be the problem?
Some more information/possible causes:
- i run snow leopard, but the install disk is leopard. Maybe i should have used the install disk of the Snow Leopard i bought?
- the time machine backup backs up EVERYTHING including an external firewire disk (on the same disk). Maybe that could be a problem? I don't know if the backup disk will restore the content of my external disk to my new internal HD or not...
Thanks for helping me out...
Best regards,
Tom

Hold on... it seems like i missed the obvious answer: using snow leopard to re-install a snow leopard back up. I'll try that one first and if it doesn't work i'll come back to this discussion...

Problems with USB external drive attached to time capsule

Hi,
I bought a WD 1 TB my book as a supplemental backup drive, as I've pretty much maxed out the space in my 500 GB TC with backups form two macbooks. It's attached to the TC via the USB 2.0. For the first few months everything worked fine. Now suddenly neither machine can access the WD drive. It shows up in the Aiport utility but not in the finder. When I plug it directly into one of the macbooks it accesses fine, but I bought it specifically to use as additional network backup drive.
Where have I gone wrong? I updated the firmware for the WD drive, and everything appears fine on the TC and the macbooks. I poked around on the forums and found many a complaint about the WD drives, but I couldn't find a solution to my particular problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

The first thing to try is a nice long power cycle of the network if you have not already done this.
Power everything down, order is not important. Wait 5-10 minutes.
Start the modem first and let it run 4-5 minutes by itself. Then start the next device connected to the modem the same way. Keep powering up each device the same way until all devices are powered on.
Any help?
If no luck, the next thing to try is connect the WD drive directly to your computer and "Verify Disk" using Disk Utility.
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Then click "Repair disk"
If indicated, "Repair Permissions" on the disk.
Eject the disk and then you'll have to do the power cycle all over again and plug the device back into the USB port on the Time Capsule.

Problem with Airport wireless network utilising a Time Capsule. No internet connection?

Right, I have an Apple Mac and I am creating a Wireless network with an Apple Time Machine. I have had both devices for approx 2 years, they have be fine to date - until I now have the following issue: The Wirless network has been created and can be connected to but that network isn't then connected to the internet. IN have checked with the Cable network provider Virgin and there is a network without proplem provided to the Modem - I have also connected an ethernet cable to direct to the Mac and connected to the www, no probs. I have also asttempted to reset and set up my time capsule / airport again howver the same problem arises. When I go to network Diagnostics I Have a green light for the following; Airport, Airport Settigns, Network Settings,Network Settings, ISP then an amberlight for Internet and server.....Please assist!!!! Is this an ISP address issue. Welcome any help, Thanks in advance. Jimbob

Sounds like chaos..
How many outlets are we talking about and what specific equipment?
Do you really need routers on every one? How many clients do you use?
Basically there are three non-overlapping channels on 2.4ghz.. using more than three routers in the house is pointless as they will just interfere with each other.. range on 2.4ghz should be sufficient to reach at least half a normal house from one AP. If not there are better high power routers available.
And there should be just one device that is the main router.. all the other routers should be bridged/ wan bypassed so they are merely AP and switch. Otherwise NAT will cause issues to devices stuck behind a secondary router.

Problems with setting up USB printer on Time Capsule.

I've just bought Time Capsule (4th Gen, 2TB, Airport Utility v6.0) and got it connected to Internet creating private network. It works ok but I can't set up network printer via TC. The printer (Canon pixma iP90) is working fine connected directly to my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.3) but I can't get it working through TC.
TC manual (pages 17&30) asks to open Printer Setup Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. The problem is that I can't find this Print Setup Utility in the indicated folder.
Please help me to solve this puzzle. Thanks.

There have been a number of very recent changes....AirPort Utility 6.0 is one of them.....so things probably won't track with manuals that were printed months ago and have not yet been updated.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule and make sure everything is powered up.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list on the left
Hopefully, your printer or printer family will appear in the next window
Click on the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the the lower right of the window
Try to print.
Be sure to select the correct printer location in the print dialog box since you now have the printer installed at two different locations....your Mac and the Time Capsule. You need to choose the correct location before you click the "Print" button.
Might be a good idea to make the printer at the Time Capsule your default printer in the Print & Scan box.

New to Apple and Time Capsule Wireless

I am a new apple customer. I just bought my 1st iMac and I am trying to make the total break from MS.
I have mediacom as my ISP and my present wireless router is a Linksys WRT600n (purchased about 3 years ago). With this system I have had problems with coverage in my house as well as needing to reboot the device often.
The router is located in a 1st floor bedroom and I get spotty coverage in the living room and even more spotty service in the adjacent kitchen. The distances away from the router as the crow flies is 24 feet for the living room (involves 4 interior walls) plus 15 more feet (an another wall) to the kitchen. Since we use our wireless system more in our living room and our bedroom (this is only 12 feet away and 1 interior wall), I have decided to move the wireless router to the living room and place it on top of a entertainment center. My thinking is that it will provide better coverage to the areas where we use it (hoping to use Apple TV in both living room and bedroom).
This leads me to my question: what has been the experience of the time capsule community in regards to time capsule wireless coverage and reliability?
Also, please note that the iMac will be located in the same bedroom where I will be removing the current router and as such, the wireless backup capabilities of the time capsule will need to traverse the same 24 feet and 4 interior walls.
Any feedback will be most appreciated.

The reliability of the Apple Extreme is very good.. TC much less good. 3years is often a failure point for stuff that runs too hot. Like your WRT600N and the TC with its Green Drive and internal power supply.
On wireless range though I would say pretty ordinary. I have tested all the generations of the TC and most of the Extreme.. including Gen5. In my double storey house with an old G wireless modem router (downstairs extreme end).. right near the TC/AE whichever I am running.. from the other end of the house (upstairs) the old G wireless gives more than adequate signal to get full speed internet.. the TC does not.. And 5ghz goes pretty much to the next room and then disappears but that is as expected.
Use the tests here to find what give good range.

Network with Airport Extreme, Airport Express and Time Capsule

Hi,
I have a good internet connection working perfectly in the following order. ISP connected by ethernet (cable) to an AE and this extended to an EX and this extended to a new TC. The AE and AX are 801.11 b/g/n but not dual as the new TC. My question is. If I work with an iPhone, the AE is going to work just with g forcing to TC to work with g as well with the rest of the equipments (AppleTV, other iPhones, iMac? I have an iMac that should be connected to the new TC and I would like to do it by 802.11n, is it possible in this configuration? I now that it would better if I organize the network with the new TC (dual) first. However, the TC is too far from the iMac and this is not my favorite option.
Another question is:
The new TC is very close to AppleTV but wirelessly. Will I increase the speed for watching movies which are placed at TC (through external disks connected to the USB in the new TC) if I connect the TC to AppleTV using an ethernet cable?
Thanks,
Jokin

... My question is. If I work with an iPhone, the AE is going to work just with g forcing to TC to work with g as well with the rest of the equipments
The answer is yes, but I believe you can avoid that by having the iPhone connect only to the new dual band TC. Configure *everything else* to run an 802.11n network exclusively - not "802.11n (b/g compatible)". This way the iPhone will be unable to connect to that network, causing it to run in the slower b/g compatible mode. Your iPhone will work fine, as long as it remains within range of your TC's 802.11g wireless network.
Remember that you will need to change all your equipment's settings: the Extreme, the Express, the TC, and maybe the AppleTV.
Galt's rule of networking: "The number of problems you encounter increases exponentially with the number of devices on your network."
So... proceed methodically.
The new TC is very close to AppleTV but wirelessly. Will I increase the speed for watching movies which are placed at TC (through external disks connected to the USB in the new TC) if I connect the TC to AppleTV using an ethernet cable?
The speed will be limited by the slowest link in your network chain. A wired network is always preferable, since it cannot be affected by interference or obstructions.
If you are streaming movies from the Internet, your wireless link will probably be the limiting factor.

All,
I'm wondering whether it will be possible to stream movies and photo's directly from a time capsule to the new Apple TV.
Oops......this question was already posted. Answer seems to be simple: not possible!

It is pretty simple..
Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
v6 will be as
With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

Slow connection with my windows xp pc and time capsule

My xp PC is connection via ethernet with time capsule, which is connected via a thompson speedtouch modem/router with the internet.
If I connect my pc to the speedtouch router directly, the internet connection is great. When I connect my PC via TC with the internet the connection becomes extremely slow.
Does anyone have a clew what to do?
Thanks

Hello hermen. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
With the current network configuration, do you currently have the TC configured as a bridge?

Xi-fi problem with Vista, loss of sound and a whis

Hello,I have a Xi-fi extreme Gamer, and Windows vista 32 bitWith many games, just to say one Overlord, but also with Gta S.Andreas, Teamfortress 2, Never Witner Night 2.. you name it, suddenly i lose all audio that is repleaced by a loud whistle, the whistle don't stop even if i quit the game and return to the OS. The only way to stop the whistle is to restart the PC. I tried to disable many options in the audio console but the problem return, with the last drivers i can't play Overlord for more than 4 minutes, then all i get from the audio is the whistle. Anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem?Thank you very much.

there seems to be lot of us having issues with sound falling off and odd noises.
We all seem to get the same reply from creative as well.. silence.
The only fix that works for some and not all is to go to the sound properties ( right click the volume, select playback devices, right click the speaker icon, select properties, select advanced )
And Turn down the sound quality from DVD quality to CD.
This has cured most of my games.
hope this helps.
