Please Help (Time Capsule Problems)

I don't know where to begin. I am having a lot of problems with my Time Capsule. I recently reset it back to Factory Default Settings. I have done this 3 times now with no resolution.
I am getting a few problems repeated and I initially noticed it when playing Call of Duty: Black Ops, that I have a "Strict NAT", so I tried to change that and that is when problems began.
1. I guess I have a Double NAT going on. My Time Capsule has said that is a problem before.
2. I also keep getting that I have 2 IP addresses.
"Your computer has detected that the IP address 192.168.7.64 for the Network Card with network address 0x2C8158EAB773 is already in use on the network. Your computer will automatically attempt to obtain a different address."
AND
"An error has occurred in initializing the adapter 12. Error Code is 0x1004"
3. I also am getting many Time Capsule errors when trying to set it up. Error 6573 and Error -4.
What I want to do is just set up my Time Capsule Wireless Router with my DSL AT&T modem. I am using Windows 7 on my Sony VPCF115FM laptop. Please help. I am very new to networking and I have no clue what I am doing.

Nevermind. I found my answer.

Please help - Time Capsule Set up problems

I bought a Time Capsule almost a year ago at the same time as my iMac, but have only tried to set it up in the last 3 weeks (so its the 6"x6"x1" version). I followed the set up instructions numerous times but kept getting an error message in Airport Utility. I rebooted my broadband and tried the factory reset of the TC.
Eventually I contacted Apple and after repeating everything whilst they were on the phone, they made an appointment for me at the Genius Bar to have the TC checked over. The Apple rep was able to access the TC using the internal Apple network and a normal port but had the same problem I did using the WAN connection so deemed the item faulty and replaced it.
My new TC is exactly the same and this time Apple advised me to ask my BB provider if there were any firmware updates required or reasons why I would be having problems. They also checked that I had the latest iMac software and Airport Utility. BT (my BB provider) went through a series of tests and concluded that my BT Home Hub 3 was faulty and have replaced it.
So now I have a new Home Hub 3 and another new TC and I've still got the same problem. I only want to use the TC for backing up my iMac with Time Machine but Id like to do it wirelessely. Can someone please tell me what I should do next as I can't believe its still down to faulty products.

I have just been watching Internet traffic on my McAfee security software on my BB and it shows that my router and TC both have a green light for access through the firewall, until Airport Utility gets to the point in its routine where it shows 'joining to the TC' and then my router loses access to the Internet and gets a red light as connection lost. Is that normal, and/or does it help diagnose what the problem might be?

Please Help - Time Capsule and External hard drive Issues

Recently, I switched from Comcast to AT&T uverse as my internet provider and I started experiencing problems.
(1) I have a 4th generation Apple Time Capsule which I am using as my router.
(2) Connected to the Apple Time Capsule - USB - is an external hard drive (not for backup with Time Machine.)
(3) I have a 2011 Macbook pro which I use to access my file on my time capsule and external hard drive.
(4) I had been using my AT&T portable Hotspot from my cell phone to get internet access on my MacBook pro from remote locations to gain access to my external hard drive which is attached to the time capsule.
(5) On August 2, 2014, I switched from Comcast to AT&T and had the AT&T turn off the router function. (I have been using the router from my apple time capsule)
(6) Under Network I switched to bridge mode.
(7) And since August 2, 2014 my time capsule has not been backup.
THE PROBLEM - I need to be able to use the hotspot function from my cell phone to gain access on the external hard drive using my MacBook Pro which I was able to do before. Now it is showing time capsule under finder but unable to connect.
Do I need to reset my Time Capsule since I have a new service provider. Everything else works fine - meaning able to get internet signal but unable to access my external hard drive and backup my time capsule. Please HELP.

(5) On August 2, 2014, I switched from Comcast to AT&T and had the AT&T turn off the router function. (I have been using the router from my apple time capsule)
(6) Under Network I switched to bridge mode.
(7) And since August 2, 2014 my time capsule has not been backup.
If you got ATT to turn off router function in their modem..
Then 6. is wrong.. You cannot have the Network switched to bridge mode..
You must have it set to dhcp and nat.
That is also why you cannot backup.. the TC is off the network.
Please change back to router mode in the TC.
Ensure the internet tab shows dhcp and you create a wireless network.
Then power down the TC... power down the ATT modem.. wait about 20min (you can try 5min.. but it might not be long enough).
Power up the ATT modem.. wait 2min for things to flash lights in de right blinkin order.. then start the TC.
Open the airport utility and make sure your TC captured the public IP and is now working as the router.
That should fix that end of it.. the hotspot end??
Tell us what happens.

Need Help, Time capsule stoped connecting

need help, time capsule stoped connecting. the yellow light is flashing.
I have important file that can't lose them, how can I restore connection without losing all files?
Hope someone can help me
Best regards

Best thing to do is connect your computer to the Time Capsule (LAN port) using an ethernet cable. Once connected, run Airport Utility and it should let you know why the light is yellow and attempt to fix the problem. If the problem persists, you should either re-configure the Time Capsule properly or conduct a hard reset and start the configuration over from the factory settings.

Please help with slideshow problems!

Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing. Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened". How can I save a
slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow? I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not. Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
question? I am trying to add audio to slideshow. I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message. What type of file do I need and how can I add
multiple songs to one slideshow. I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
it fills slide show.
Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
-- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
-- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
-- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing. Save each Project with a unique name.
After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
Note: you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

[ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

Hi all,
Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
Here is the description :
-I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
-Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
-Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
-However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
Please help
Thank you

Time capsule problem please help

Hi People its my first post i hope its in the right section.
Ok
I have a NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N DSL Gateway DGND3300 Wireless route.
i was told i can extend the range with apple time capsule.
i tried to set up time capsule this morning my steps were
airport un
found apple time capsule join wireless network all setup
i then went to update the settings and i got message saying update complete waiting for restart
the time capsule was stuck on amber flashing on and off and would not pick up any signal
i have now set it up plugged into router but it don't boost my signal
Does anyone know if i can set it up using wireless mode which will work and boost my signal
at the mo it feels like a waste of money
please help

also at the moment i have plugged tc into netgear and created a new network.
is that the best way,
If you configure the Time Capsule as a "bridge" to use exactly the same wireless network name, security and password as the wireless on your main router, you will in effect, extend the wireless network that way. Computers will be able to move from one area to another without having to change networks.
I assume that you have an ethernet cable connecting your main router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your main router network
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting that your main router is using. You may need to check the configuration pages for your main router to get this information. If the settings do not match exactly, the wireless network will not perform as a single network, it will perform as two separate networks
Wireless Password = Same password as your main router
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings.

Time Capsule Problem, I need your help! Please

Hello fastuca. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your base stations' settings ...
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 Time Capsule (TC).
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 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) 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.

HELP ME PLEASE: MY TIME CAPSULE IS NO LONGER WORKING FOR ME

Due to a recent move, my Time Capsule doesn't seem to have the range & strength that it once did.
- A Local Internet Provider (MEDIACOM) installed their Router for our Internet/Internet Phone Service.
- Due to the required use of the Provider's Router, I had to set my Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode" to function.
- Although my computer can recognize BOTH (MEDIACOM & my Time Capsule) networks, I select & use my Time Capsule for my Home Wireless Network.
- It seems to me, that in "Bridge Mode" my Time Capsule doesn't have the range & strength that it once did. For whatever the reason, I need to increase my Wireless range.
- I ONLY use the Wireless WiFi (My Home Network) to access my e-mail/Internet from my iMac or IPAD. All "other" Internet access (streaming) is done through my TV system, which is hard wired to the Internet. Again, the Internet is hard-wired and directly connected to the TV's receiver. Thus, there isn't a huge demand for my Wireless Home Network. It's also password protected so nobody else is using it.
- I will admit that I'm now in a much bigger house (about twice as big as the previous home). Also, I usually have to access it on the opposite end of the house.
How do I extend my Wireless range? Any suggestions, How To's, or useful websites would be most appreciated. In other words, what hardware do I need to purchase & how do I set it up? My Tech knowledge is very limited. I think the solution will need to also be wireless because the distance is to great for ETHERNET. That is, unless I can use what is already wired into my home. For example, I'm told there is a CAT 5 Access point (whatever that is) very near the vicinity of where I need wireless access. Would the purchase of another Time Capsule potentially solve my problem?

Due to a recent move, my Time Capsule doesn't seem to have the range & strength that it once did.
It must have the same strength it always had. .but the new environment blocks or absorbs wifi.. some houses are like a black hole.. nothing gets out.
- It seems to me, that in "Bridge Mode" my Time Capsule doesn't have the range & strength that it once did. For whatever the reason, I need to increase my Wireless range.
Being in bridge or being in router mode makes no difference whatsoever to wireless output.. however range is affected dramatically by environment and perhaps by operating next to a much higher wireless power device in the Mediacom router.
How do I extend my Wireless range?
If I give you useful sites.. apple mods will delete my posts.. so you should google yourself for "extend lan"
That is, unless I can use what is already wired into my home. For example, I'm told there is a CAT 5 Access point (whatever that is) very near the vicinity of where I need wireless access.
This is the best method.. you do not need another TC.. plug the existing one into the Cat5 access point on the wall.. plug the other end into any LAN Port on the Mediacom router.. and as long as the cable is in good condition it will work great.
Make sure you are doing the setup correctly.
You bridge the TC.
You also create a wireless network.. it can be the same name as the mediacom router or different .. that is up to you. You do not attempt to extend the wireless.. this is most important.
Try it now.. all you need is a patch cord or two.

Time Capsule Problems

I received my TC almost a year ago and up until a couple days ago I had only intended to use the time machine function to do weekly backups. Now that I am beginning to run out of space on my local drive I decided it is time to start to make use of the 1T of storage that my TC provides. I opened finder selected time capsule under shared and opened the Data file. Within that file I created a new folder titled Pictures. I began my attempt at copying my 12gigs of photos and a couple .mov's taken on my iphone4 (these .mov files were synced to my main Pictures folder via iphoto.) when i get through about 10gigs of the copy i get an error message about one of the .mov files and at that point no more files are able to be transferred and the copy process for the most part freezes (meaning it doesn't let me select the "stop copying" button and nothing else transfers over. When i restart my computer and look in my TC to the Pictures folder i see that around 10 of 12 gigs made it but the rest did not. How can I ever know what files were copied and what was not? Going through the photos in the TC Pictures folder individually is not practical and would take wayyy to long, and I certainly am not going to delete the files off mt C drive until i know FOR SURE that everything has successfully been copied to my TC. (How can I place any trust in a piece of equipment that is supposed to protect my information if simple tasks like copying files cannot be completed!!!) I really don't want to go out and buy another external HD when i have 1T of memory sitting on my desk hardly being used. So I guess my main questions are: How can I (step by step please) move data from my C drive to the time capsule? How can I (once the copy is done and double checked) remove it from my local hard drive to free up space? How can i set it up so whenever new photos are added to my Pictures folder they go straight to my TC rather than saving on my local drive? Oh and... How can I fix the error I am getting when trying to make the copy of my pictures folder to the TC?(I will try to post the exact error when i get back to my computer) and some more... Is there a better way to sync iphone4 videos b/c iphoto seems to be the worst for that. hmm maybe thats what is causing all the problems with the copy? i really need some pro help cause im dealing with years and years of irreplaceable information that I WILL NOT lose forever b/c of another faulty apple product (sorry jobs but im a bit sour over this whole ordeal.) Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED and please bear with me as this is my first time posting on apple discussions. i usually just read over other peoples posts that relate to problems i encounter. thanks again!!

(Taking things in reverse order), there are several tools to show what's using your disk space.
Some are free, such as:
[Disk Inventory X|http://www.derlien.com>
[OmniDiskSweeper|http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper>
[SupaView|http://twinside.free.fr/supaview>
Some of those also have other useful features.
But I recommend [WhatSize|http://www.whatsizemac.com/index.php] ($12.99 US) for the following features:
It's the only one with an option to show everything at once; the others only show things the logged-on user is permitted to see (click the +As User+ padlock icon in the toolbar).
You can use any of 4 different display formats (3 text and a pie chart).
There's a "Find Duplicates" feature.
It has very good and complete Help.
Do you have any suggestions on how to find and delete duplicate files easily?
I've not used the "Find Duplicates" feature (just experimented with it a bit), but it might of help. It finds what appear to be duplicates; you'll still have to figure out whether they're really redundant.

Big Time Capsule Problems

I'm having big problems with my time capsule.
I've had it a week and the first backup is not yet done. Today I have spent 6 hours watching it say 'preparing' but never backing up. Now it is saying 'failed' because 'The backup disk image could not be mounted.' What is going on?
Please help - I've spent nearly a week on this and I'm sick of it. It's not what I xpect from apple.

I have been having problems with Time Capsule being unable to create disk image or not mounting, on and off since I got it about a year ago. I have gleaned a series of different assists, which I apply en mass, each time I need to reset and start all over.
Here are the key things to do to rid it of gremlins. (I don't know whether they all help or one is the key to my problems)
1/ Network name. In system folder> Sharing make sure there is a name of your network. Less than eight characters and no punctuation.
2/ Run disk utility to verify and repair disks
3/ In TC preferences, select no disc.
4/ Turn off TC at wall.
5/ Delete the sparse bundle (Created by TC)
6/ Erase the disk (In disk utility), if it will allow you
7/ Change name of Time capsule in TC preferences. Same again, less than 8 and no punctuation
8/ Turn back on and select disk, newly named disc.
9/ Try backing up.
Even if you have done some of these before, I always need to make minor adjustments to the disc or network names to kickstart it again. This will necessitate a 24hour full HD backup to take place, and will wipe what is already on your disc.

Canon MX310 connected to Time Capsule problem

I'm having this same problem. I've talked to 2 different people at the Apple Care Center and neither of them were able to help me. When I first got my MacBook Pro and Canon printer and set up the printer through the TC via the USB port I was able to print wirelessly. Then I tried scanning wirelessly and was unable to so I called the Care Center and the lady helped me download the latest drive, but it still didn't work so she connected me to someone else. That lady told me the TC doesn't allow scanning capabilities, ok that solved that problem. From then on I was unable to print wirelessly. This is where I'm at now...the last two people I talked to at the Care Center were unable to help me. We went through everything, from deleting the printer I have and reinstalling it to downloading the driver I started with. Below is something I found on the canon website regarding the drivers and downloads for the PIXMA MX310 series:
History:
The printing function when using AirPort connection has been modified on the OS side. Therefore, in conformity with this modification this printing function has been enabled on the printer driver side. NOTE: When using AirPort connection, the following conditions are required: - Use the latest version of the AirPort firmware. - Use in the Mac OS X v10.5.3 or later environment.
Environment
Mac OS X 10.5 or higher (CUPS)
Caution
1. Use the CUPS drivers in the following cases only: -When performing 16-bit color printing -When printing from the 64-bit application 2. **Mac OS X v10.5 Printing using AirPort connection cannot be performed.**
I am so confused...why could I print when i first set everything up, but am now unable to, even though I supposedly reverted back to the original driver.
Someone, please help...this is very frustrating!!!
