find the attachments pictures to help you figure out my situation,
thx for help

I don't see any problems with your permissions.. it is showing read and write for everyone.
But the TC trash works differently.. and can cause issues.. all of this is the reason you should not be using the TC as a NAS..
See E6 here about emptying trash..
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Also your TC name is too long.
See C9 for why you should keep you name shorter..
In fact under Mavericks.. I would stick to SMB standard .. 2-20 characters.. less than 10 even better.
No spaces
Pure alphanumeric.
Much pain when Mavericks is involved.
Pondini also has some instructions on better way to use the TC if you do want to mix data and TM backups.
Q3 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remember also if you move this data to the TC it cannot be backed up by Time Machine in the computer.. and you will have no backup of your files.

Weird PPPoE problem with new Time Capsule

OK, so this is a long and tedious saga, but I don't know what details are important and what are irrelevant.
I had an old AirPort Extreme which was giving me problems. I could connect to the internet fine when I connected my MacBook directly to the DSL modem via the Ethernet cable, but when the same cable was plugged into my old AirPort it thought that there was no Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port. The AirPort was over five years old, so I figured that it was just past its time, and I kinda wanted a Time Capsule anyway for wireless backup, so I went to the Apple Store and bought one today.
I just tried to set it up, and AirPort Utility is telling me, "This Apple wireless device is set up to connect to the Internet using PPPoE but no PPPoE server can be found. Make sure your Internet service provider requires that you use PPPoE, and make sure that the modem is turned on and connected to this Apple wireless device's WAN port and try again. If you still can't connect to the server, contact your service provider."
Well, I did contact my ISP (AT&T Yahoo!), and they said that if I can connect directly via Ethernet, the problem has to be with the Time Capsule or its settings, so they can't help me. I've tried power cycling the DSL modem and Time Capsule, and I keep getting the same problem. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? (I'll probably call AppleCare when they're open, but I thought someone here might be able to shed some light on the situation.)
Thanks!

I had a similar problem (to name one) and couldn't resolve it... I packed it back up and am returning it tomorrow.
All these people have all these solutions but none of them should have to do any of it! That is the biggest problem I have with the TC. They give you a small little guide to set everything up and it doesn't deal with any of this. With networks and computers as they are right now.... you should not have to do any of this at all. You should be able to plug it in, answer a few easy to answer questions like it does ask and then it should configure itself just as any other network device I have purchased in the last 2 years. Even my PS3 I bought last week did it by itself by only asking a few questions! (Same as my macbook... so you know they can do it)
Now.. say you do get it all set up and it works great... hope you don't have kids that like to play their XBox 360 online because guess what.... it isn't compatible with the TC wireless!!! If you want to use your PS3.... you have to buy more stuff.
No.... do yourself a favor... go buy the D-Link DIR-655 that has a USB storage link... hook it up and be in business in 10 minutes. You can also get a 1TB WD external hard drive for $209.00 and hook it up direct to your mac and use time machine and transfer files faster than a mule walking up hill.

Problem with new Time Capsule w/ 7.5 Firmware Slow Speeds on 802.11b/g

I purchased a new 1TB Time Capsule with v. 7.5 Firmware last week. This Time Capsule is replacing a first gen 500GB TC with Firmware v. 7.4.2. I have 2 Macbook Pros connecting to the new Time Capsule via 802.11n at 5Ghz and 2 iPhones and 1 first gen Mac Pro connecting to it via 802.11b/g at 2.4Ghz. The Macbook Pros connecting at 5Ghz move data fine. The connection is very fast. Speedtest.net average about 20Mbps down and 2Mbps up. The devices connecting on the 2.4Ghz radio are slow as molasses. They test at less than 30k down and 30k up. Beyond that they have trouble moving data around the LAN as well. There are no sources of major interference near the TC. In fact the TC is in the same location as the old unit which was also running at 2.4Ghz with no problems. I contacted Apple tech support and then went to a local Apple store for an exchange. They gave me another new TC but the problem persists with the new units as well. This evening I took the new Time Capsule into the basement and isolated from any kind of interference with no success. I plugged in the old TC and the 802.11g devices were back up to speed.
Has anyone had any similar issues with the new AE or Time Capsule? I'm sure it's not unheard of to get two defective units but it's not likely. So I am thinking there may be an issue with the new firmware. I tried to downgrade to 7.4.2 but the new units require 7.5. Any suggestions? All network settings are the same as they were with the previous Time Capsule. The only thing that's changed is that both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios are active.

Hi there,
got some problems with Time Capsule and 7.5 Firmware as well. Since it is my first device, I have no experience with older firmwares or models though.
It is impossible to connect to the 5GHz network. Neither when I have 5GHz and 2.4Ghz in one network or when I set a separate network for the 5GHz.
I always get a timeout message, I also tried deactivating the guest network and I also tried without any password, just would not connect to the 5GHz. By the way, I am sitting 50cm away from the TC and of course, I do have a MacBook Pro that supports 802.11n standard, a brand new MacBook Pro 13.
So, any ideas? I'm going to call Apple on Monday, can't check if it's the notebook, cause I do not have a second device to test ist. My iPhone works fine (802.11g), the 2.4Ghz also works fine with rates around 130-145 usually when close to the TC.
I also noticed that my MacBook Pro won't connect to the 802.11n when compatibility with 802.11b/g is activated. Then it runs with 802.11g instead....
pretty annoying, thought this would work right away?!

DHCP problem with new Time Capsule

Just bought a new time capsule, and cannot get it to work.
I previously have a Belkin router/wireless that works great with my cable modem.
I plugged in my new Time Capsule into my cable modem, and it does not seem to get an IP address from the cable modem. I have it configured to use DHCP as I did with my old Belkin.
I can get the TC to work in bridge mode with my old Belkin.
I've tried resetting the cable modem (both powering off and hitting the reset button).
I've updated the firmware on the TC.
I've tried just the TC and the cable modem, no difference.
I haven't tried to configure things manually, without DHCP since I'm not sure how to configure.
Thoughts? Help?

I also have a belkin and a time capsule, ive managed to get it to work in bridge mode. All you have to do is go into airport utility and find your time capsule, then you click on 'manual setup' and from there click on the internet tab and then at the bottom there should be a dropdown box where you can select 'bridge mode'. Apply the changes, your time capsule will restart, and thats it. You might have to activate bridge mode on your belkin, that easy though.Just type in its IP address into your browser while your connected to it wirelessly to acces its settings (im sure you probably knew that!) and allong the side there will be a 'wireless bridge' button or similar, simply click on that and turn it on.
Its best to let your belkin handle dhcp and nat, i tried fruitlessly for weeks trying to let the time capsule handle this, but i was only bombarded with double nat errors and matching ip addresses ending up in a factory reset of both the TC and the Belkin!
Hope this helped =]

Problems with my Time Capsule since updated to Mountain Lion

Since I have updated my MacBook Air (late 2010 model) to OS X Mountain Lion, I am experiencing problems connecting my Macbook Air to Time Capsule and experiencing problems in Time Machine copies to the Time Capsule:
1.- When I turn on my computer, Time Machine starts working, taking a lot of time searching the backup disc (my Time Capsule), then appears an error message (Can not find the disk or it says that the Time Capsule is already in use);
2.- After several attemps (restarting the computer and restarting the Time Capsule), sometimes Time Machine starts to work, but it shows that it has to copy approximatly 28 G. Also the copy is to slow (it only copied 500 Megabytes in two days).
In the meanwhile the Time Capsule light is turned on (green) - so it seems the Time Capsule is working normally an the problem would be Time Machine.
I would not like to restart everytime my Time Capsule or restart my computer in order to make Time Machine works. I would really appreciate help for solving this problem (I apologize for my so basic English).
My Airport Utility Version is 6.1 (610.31)
My Time Capsule Version: 7.6.1.
My Computer: MacBook Air (late 2010)
My System: OS X Mountain Lion (when I used OS X Lion all was working normal)
Thanks in advance for your help !!!

The first backup after an update will be quite slow (but shouldn't be anywhere near that slow). And the searching on the backup disk will have to be repeated on every backup attempt until one completes normally.
Connect to the TC via an Ethernet cable.
Also see the green box in #D2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting. Something there may help get back on track.
(and your English is fine -- better than many who speak it natively, I'm sorry to say.)

Big problem with my Time Capsule (already been replaced, same issue)

So I bought a Time Capsule from Amazon, via their Wearhouse deals site. It's refurbished but was working well. After a little while, the router started resetting the wireless on a once every couple of hours basis. I went to the Apple Store and used the warranty to get a replacement, same thing is happening. I dont know what to do! I have Comcast cable, nothing is plugged in, everything is wireless. I have 2 networks setup, regular and guests, and I've switched the wireless channels to ones that are not being used. The following devices are on the network:
2 iPads (1 and 2)
1 HP Laptop (Windows 7)
1 Custom built PC (Windows 7)
1 iMac (Running latest iteration of Lion)
2 Wireless televisions
PS3
XBOX 360
Apple TV
The firmware on the Capsule is the new 7.6.1, but the issues were happening with old firmware too.
Thoughts?

Normaly not, but the best way is to contact AppleCare to clear things up. Maybe they will exchange it for free.

Serious Problem with my time capsule.

When I try to back up to my 500GB time capsule using time machine, it first say preparing backup, then a window pops up saying "Backup Failed: The Backup disk image could not be created." I called the apple store and they said they did not know what to do. Any advice on how I can get these backups working properly?

I created a wireless network with my Time Capsule but would like to connect this network to a WiFi Hotspot for Internet Access

I have created a Wirelss Network at home with the Time Capsule and would like to connect this network to the Internet.
I can't use LAN Cable to connect to it anything becasuse I usually use the WiFi that runs through my building.
Can I connect the Time Capsule to the WiFi hotspot somehow so that all computers on my network have Internet access and if so, what do I need?
I need this done because the computers can only be connected to either the WiFi network or to my Time Capsule Network at any given time.
Or is there a way to be connected to both networks simultaneously?
I have two PC's and two Macs.
Thank you for any support and I apologise for my ignorance. I am not too good with networking.
I have tried the silliest of things like connecting a router to the TC only to then realise that the TC had an inbuilt router.
I tried connecting a USB WiFI adapter to the USB Port on the TC but it doesnt detect it that way apparently.
Please help!

I have a kinda same problem @ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3531642
Please reply (somebody)!

How to replace a Motorola NVG589 with a Time Capsule?

I have a few questions. Today ATT came and set up wireless for me. The only problem is they had to put my Wireless Gateway in a seperate room from my home theatre. I am experienceing a little bit of a slow down in my home theatre. Is there any way i completly get rid of my Motorola NVG589 and replace it with a Time Capsule? Once thats done if i set up an Airport Express in my home theatre can i connect the Airport to the Time Capsule wirelessly and then plug my apple tv and tv into the Airport Express' Ethernet port because my tv does not have built in wifi? and last question is can the Time Capsule function as just a wireless hard drive for my macbook and ipad without being set up for Time Machine? i appreciate any and all help. I understand computers but all this wireless/networking has me confused. Thanks again

You cannot replace the Motorola.. it is your modem plus other services.. but you could turn off wireless in it.. although even this is unnecessary as it is only single band. Set the channel in the motorola to say channel1 and forget about it.
Plug the TC in by ethernet and put it in bridge mode.
Set the TC to create a wireless network with whatever naming you want.
Once thats done if i set up an Airport Express in my home theatre can i connect the Airport to the Time Capsule wirelessly and then plug my apple tv and tv into the Airport Express' Ethernet port because my tv does not have built in wifi?
Yes, you can do that.. with the proviso the Express only has one ethernet port.. you can buy a small switch though .. 100mbit is fine as the express only uses fast ethernet.. but an extreme would be a better choice.
and last question is can the Time Capsule function as just a wireless hard drive for my macbook and ipad without being set up for Time Machine? i appreciate any and all help. I understand computers but all this wireless/networking has me confused. Thanks again
The answer here is yes.. but again heavy proviso.. it is slow,, it has no ability to backup itself and Time Machine cannot backup network drives. So if you do this take extra care to backup your files which will not be present on the computer or anywhere else.

Newbie Question: Any problems networking a Time Capsule to PC via ethernet?

I'm new to Apple. I was thinking of replacing my existing WiFi router which is connected to a standard cable modem with a Time Capsule and using it to back up both my Win 7 desktop and the Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion). Connection to Desktop would be ethernet, MBP would be WiFi. There is also a new HP 710 printer with WiFi connection. Are there any foreseeable issues doing this? Any problem with PC internet connections using Time Capsule? How good is the Time Capsule as a router?
I've done some searching but mostly just come up with people who have had problems so I'm wondering if this is generally a smooth process
Thanks a lot!

Thanks, that's some help. The router I have is ok. DLink Draft N. When you say wireless performance is poor, do you mean data transfer to the drive or speed in general. ?
Wireless speed Bob has stated are link speeds.. actual transfer speeds are much slower.. The TC is only N lite on 2.4ghz.. so your dlink is probably faster even at draft N and with decent external antennas, probably has better range. 5ghz in the TC is very poor range.. but there are only a couple of routers now that you can call good. Eg Asus RT-N56U is specifically reinforced 5ghz.
Internet is so much slower, that G wireless is perfectly adequate for most people. But for data transfer to the hard disk over wireless you want the best speed you can get.
Still trying to determine if it is at all tricky to set up for Windows. i.e. does the drive have to be partitioned and formatted for Windows?, what Backup software for Windows, i.e. does Windows backup work with it?, etc.
Thanks again
You do need to fix the TC name and wireless name so they are SMB compatible. ie short no spaces pure alphanumeric. Other than that windows should work ok.. you can load bonjour for windows which helps locate network products of the Apple kind.
Mixing data and TM backups on a TC is another issue. Read a bit from friend Pondini..
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
Q3 here is highly relevant. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Most back up software will work fine.. but the low end win7 version MSBackup may not use network drive.. you need pro or ultimate.. which is all nonsense to get more money out of you.. Don't bother with MS backup at all. There are excellent windows backup software.. readily available .. just google for reviews.. I use Macrium Reflect to do whole disk images. It is free .. my kind of pricing. But you need to pay for a license to do incremental. Acronis True image is available free with lots of WD external disk products and you can purchase it for good prices.
BTW the most important thing with a backup software is how well and how easy it is to recover. Macrium Reflect creates a boot CD for you running linux or windows PE.. it helps you easily find the network location of the backup.. and restores a whole disk image in 1-2hours.. depending on the size. You can put in a brand new disk.. and have a computer restored in no time if you are smart and use a boot partition and data partition. Set them to different backups.

IPad 2 wifi issue with Apple Time Capsule + Screen bleed.

I have an iPad 1, iMac, Macbook Pro and two iPhone 4s all successfully working on wifi with my Time Capsule.
I have two networks set up on the time capsule both 5GHz and regular N.
My new iPad 2 can see both networks and acepts the passphrase to connect to them but I can't get to the internet via Safari.
I can use the internet when connected on 3G but neither of the wifi networks work!
I've tried rebooting, forgetting and reconnecting the network etc to no avail.
It's currently on 4.3.1 and I'm just downloading 4.3.2 to see if that helps.
Either way I think I'm going to have to take this one back as it has TERRIBLE screen bleed too!
Has anyone else seen similar wifi problems?
Thanks

Try updating the firmware on your router. The latest firmware is available here:

You should also move to WPA2 security.

Connection with my Time capsule

Recently my MacBook Pro and my iMac keep loosing contact with my Time Capsule. In order to reconect them I have to reset the TC and sometimes it will take several goes to get it back. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you resolve it.

Setup the TC again..
Use short names No spaces and pure alphanumeric. for both TC and wireless.. which I guess you are using.. is this wireless, wired or both?? Set a different name for 5ghz.
Lock the wireless channels.
Make sure you use WPA2 Personal security with passkey of 8-12 pure alphanumeric characters.
If that doesn't fix it.. more info..
Does the issue happen on ethernet connection or only wireless?
How old is the TC? After 2-3years they seem to fade away.. in wireless or die suddenly on the power supply.

I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

How do I set up OpenDNS to work with my Time Capsule running 7.7.3 in Bridge Mode?

How do I set up OpenDNS to work with my Time Capsule running 7.7.3 in Bridge Mode?

Set up your "main" router to use the OpenDNS servers, and the Time Capsule will automatically pick up those settings. No configuration is needed on the Time Capsule.
