Problem with Time Capsule reset and navkuos

Hello,
I need your assistance. My Time Capsule was configured with account based authentication.
The Time Capsule had an hard reset. Is it still possible to access to the backups and/or restore the Time Capsule previous configuration ?
Regards,
RedVivi

According to Time Capsule manual, it's written that a hard reset would retain saved profiles, so I supposed it was saved into the Time Capsule. It is not the case ?
Manual quotation about Time Capsule:
"*Saved profiles are used in more recent versions of AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule to store up to five configurations, known as profiles. A profile contains base station settings, such as names and passwords, and network configuration information, such as the way the base station connects to the Internet. Using profiles may be useful if you move your device from one location to another."
Is it possible to access to the backup and how ?
Thanks !

  • Problem with Time Capsule after backup session

    I have a problem with Time Capsule after a backup session. Our two Macs (on Maverick) loose connection with the station and the only thing that seems to help is unplugging the Time Capsule  and starting it again! After the next backup session the same thing happens again. The Macs seem not to be able to hold on to the connection and continually loose it.  The iPhones and iPads that we have (4 units) are not affected - it is the Mac Mini and Mac Powerbook that experiences this problem!
    I would be grateful for your help!

    This is standard Mac issues and has been a bug floating around since Lion.. it hits some people worse than others.. but once it starts it is awful hard to get rid of.
    Just to confirm the connection to internet is not a problem?? Just the hard disk drops out?
    I recommend you
    1. Reset the TC to factory.. and start over with all new names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    TC name and wireless name/s should conform. By default the disk share name is data which is fine.
    2. Mavericks has changed over from using AFP to SMB for network filesharing.. why Apple why??
    This is unhelpful to say the least. Many many people are struggling with TC and being unable to mount the network drive.
    So do it manually and force it back to AFP.
    In Finder use top menu, Go, Connect to Server.
    Type AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress (it must be the network name of actual TC.. or its IP address)
    When the computer locates the resource it will ask for a password.. it is public by default.. supply your password or public and save it in the keychain.
    3. Delete the existing TM setup and start over.. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    I cannot promise this will fix it but should reduce the problem to now and then.. rather than every time TM needs to backup.

  • Suggestions, Observations and problem with Time Capsule shares

    *Some Observations*
    The Time Capsule can take a long time to become active. This is especially true if using an extended or WDS network. I would suspect this is due to the negotiation between devices that it needs to do. I have on occasion believed it to be hung, only to find that after walking away for a bit it comes up. This also impacts devices showing up in the Airport utility.
    Using a time capsule with one Airport Express B/G will work, but adding a second creates problems.
    Extending a network with an Airport Express N seems to work well.
    Best bet is to set up separate B/G and N networks and run your N network as N only at 5Ghz.
    WEP provides no real security, so think of it as you would an open network.
    *My Issue*
    I am having an issue where the time capsule shares become unavailable. It is an intermittent issue, and I have been unable to identify a test case. This happens for devices connected over ethernet as well as wireless. The Time Capsule shows in the Finder list, but the volumes are not available. Connecting to them fails.
    The device also appears in the Airport Utility list, but when clicking on Manual Setup, or guided set up, it causes a hang.
    This results in Time Machine hanging when trying to initiate a backup.
    I have also noticed that when this happens, the signal does start to get a bit flaky with "Roam (Beacons Lost)" messages. Wireless connectivity still seems to be very useable though. I can connect to other network shares through the Time Machine, but not to the shares on the Time Machine. The only way to recover from this is to power cycle the Time Capsule.
    One thing I want to investigate more tonight is whether there are any issues with my keychain and old passwords in case there are multiple failed attempts in the mix that are doing something. Although I know of no lockout feature on the device.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the second Time Machine, so I have seen this on two different devices. I am also seeing this issue across 4 different computers simultaneously, some via ethernet and some wirelessly. Time Capsule is 7.3.2

    Hi,
    I have pretty much the same problem, 1TB Time Capsule that works fine most of the time as a wireless router. Up till recently Time Machine backups just worked (as one would expect them to) wired and wireless. I went away for a week came back and now every time Time Machine invokes a back up process all of a sudden my wireless network goes down, Time Machine can no longer see the Time Capsule and all other devices (iphone / apple TV other non apple devices) no longer have connections (they see wireless but no pass through to the internet or each other).
    I have tried resetting all sorts of stuff, re-deployed my network, changed IP / LAN settings to make it less complex, Yasu'd my mac, connected only via wires, cleaned out my keychain etc etc and still get the same problems and as per Chris's point airport utility also hangs and the only solution is rebooting the time capsule.
    I am fairly frustrated with this! any suggestions / help would be gratefully accepted.
    thanks

  • Internet Problem with Time Capsule (Wi-Fi) and AT&T U-verse Motorola NVG589 (Bridge Mode)

    I'm having a problem with my Internet connection. For some unknown reason it keeps cutting out every 5 min for about 5 seconds. The wi-fi signal doesn't drop or anything like that, just the internet connection stops working for a little bit and then its fine again (pages don't load, etc).
    Here is my current set-up:
    1. AT&T Motorola NVG589 - set to bridge mode as per instructions here http://www.dslreports.com/faq/17734 (followed instructions step by step)
    2. Apple Time Capsule (latest model 2TB)
    3. Motorola is connected to the Time Capsule through an ethernet cable.
    I tried contacting AT&T and they just sent me a new Motorola router, I installed it, put it in bridge mode and still the same thing is happening.
    I am thinking maybe there is some problem in settings or something. Airport Utility is showing everything in "green", no problems there.
    Please let me know if anyone can help.

    Ok, here is an update on how I decided to deal with the problem. I will include all of my troubleshooting step by step for easy reference.
    1. At first I put the NVG589 into Bridge Mode and used the TC as the main wireless router. This didn't work as my connection kept dropping for no apparent reason.
    2. Second, I tried to put the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode and connect it directly to NVG589. This didn't work as my connection would still lag out for 5 seconds about every 5 minutes.
    3. Third, I bought an ASUS RT-AC87U Wireless AC2400 Dual-band Gigabit Router to try and substitute the TC in previous steps and see if it helps. Same problem persisted when I put the NVG589 into Bridge Mode and RT-AC87U as the main router as well as RT-AC87U into bridge mode and NVG589 as the main router. The problem was exactly the same as when I tried using TC initially so my conclusion was this is NVG589's fault of being not compatible with other wireless routers.
    4. I looked around everywhere and came up with the only feasible solution possible (for me at least):
    Currently I use NVG589 as my main wireless router. I works pretty well and even though it doesn't have the specs of TC or the ASUS router my WI-FI connection is pretty fast and stable. In order to have Time Machine wireless backups, I purchased a Western Digital My Cloud Drive that is connected directly to the NVG589. Everything seems to sync and work well together.
    I know this is not the ideal solution most people are looking for. But it works for me. Patiently waiting for AT&T to start offering NVG599 (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r28967809-NEW-U-verse-Gateway-Motorola-NVG599-WI RELESS-AC-AC1600) in my area. Once I get my hands on it will report back on how it will react to all the steps above and hopefully work well with Time Capsule.
    Shoot me any questions you might have. Hope this was helpful for some of you.

  • Problems with Time Capsule after upgrade to 10.7.5 & firmware on Time Capsule

    I got a software update to 10.7.5.   There was also a firmware update to Time capsule.  It won't work now.  I get the error message of (-1).  They tell me it's a Western Digital software driver.  I never had a western digital drive, but must have migrated the driver from an older computer.      I did have an Iomega drive on that computer, but no Western Digital.
    Support has not been able to help me.    Any suggestions?

    I've worked on this over the weekend with Apple Support.   I'm now on my fourth advisor, who is a tier 3 resource. Over the weekend I've downloaded the patch, erased the Time Capsule, reset it to factory settings, plugged it into ethernet, renamed the Time Capsule, the airport network & my computer and still don't have a functioning Time Capsule after a very 'Microsoft' weekend of waiting for several backups to bomb.
    The only reason I'm on Lion is that I was a MobileMe customer and wanted to keep my email address.   I'm now thinking of getting a personal domain email, i.e. [email protected], dumping iCloud which really doesn't have any value to me, and in fact has less functionality that I need than MobileMe had, and reloading Snow Leopard.
    That, or I can stop trying to fix Time Capsule, use third-party local drives until Apple gets around to fixing Lion.
    Another 'feature' I've also discovered is that I can no longer take a Pages document and send a Mail message converting the document to PDF reliably.   It now works some of the time.
    I've been one of 'the faithful' who's had Apple products since 1987 and loved them.   I stuck with Apple through the 'Soda Jerk' years and that european dude.   I'm hoping that Lion is some weird product anomaly and that Apple will improve it's product quality to where it used to be.    Also, not force people into product upgrades by not restricting features on new releases like Mountain Lion to machines less than 3 years old.   There really will not be any place else to go unless Google gets into hardware.

  • Wireless comm problem with time capsule or airport extreme using iMac G5

    I did buy a Time Capsule and an iMac 20" G5 January 2009...Installed all the components and created a wireless network...MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch connected perfectly...iMac connected but started to drop communications with Time Capsule...Safari, iTunes and other internet-access programs had problems to connect 100% with the web...After reviewing all the post here and "testing/trying" several parameters, I found out that you need to define a WPA/WPA2 password protection with more than 13 characters...FYI, Time capsule is configured using 802.11n (b/g compatible)...

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • Potential Problem with Time Capsule after purchasing second computer?

    I have had a MacBook for 3 years and have been backing it up on a Time Capsule (about 40Gb). Now I bought an iMac and would like to set up a system
    1.with all applications and files on the iMac, as my main computer, backed up on the Time Capsule ,
    2. and with the option to easily synchronize new or adjusted files I produce when I travel with (or work on) my Macbook and iPad .
    How should I proceed to avoid trouble? Any experience with an isuue like that?
    Thank you very much
    Paul

    I have almost the identical issue to above - except for the different version of operating systems (I'm running Lion to Lion both most recently updated). I migrated from a 2009 24" iMac to a new 2011 27" iMac and the first backup to initiate following the migration failed with exactly the same error message. Notably, this was on my 2009 Mac (as I have not activated TC on the new one yet).
    Pondini is a great reference... but following his logic, I would seem to have a corrupt disk. But I can still access the TM history and browse without problem. Help

  • Problem with Time Capsule backup

    My Time Capsule is a first gen (500 GB), and I recently upgraded to Lion on my iMac. It seems like right around the time I upgraded that I started having problems with Time Machine backups. They will complete, but then the disk does not eject from my desktop. I am running the Time Capsule buddy widget, and here's the log file:

  • Intermittent internet problems with Time Capsule

    Hi
    I have the following set up for internet in the UK. TalkTalk broadband (8 meg) through BT landline - Draytek Vigor 120 ADSL Ethernet Modem - Time Capsule - Wireless n to Macs.
    I am experiencing two problems, one that a couple of times a day the Time Capsule starts flashing orange and in Airport Utility the problem generally appears to be with the PPPoE server. Sometimes the issue spontaneously resolves itself within a couple of minutes. Other times I have to restart both the TC and the modem and then I get a green light and everything works again. I was experiencing similar problems with a previous modem and specifically bought the Draytek modem which translates the PPPoA service from TalkTalk to PPPoE which the TC prefers (as i understand it), but still I am experiencing the same issue.
    The second issue I am experiencing, which is a common experience, occurring maybe half the time I use the internet is that I need to reload web pages a lot to get them to load. So I might click on eBay say and the page doesn't seem to want to load at all, so I either cancel the loading or try clicking again on the bookmark again (or a link) and if i'm lucky it will then load quickly. If not I will have to try again. This seems to happen more with some websites than others, and emptying the cache seems to help, but the problem soon re-emerges.
    I am not sure if these two issues are interrelated, but it all adds up to a fairly frustrating online experience. I am not sure whether the issue is with the ISP, the modem, the TC, or some combination of these. I experience the same problems regardless of which Mac I am using (there are three in the house) and which browser, so I am presuming that the issue is not with the Macs, but why clearing the cache would help I am not sure.
    I would be grateful for any help in resolving these issues
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    No idea on the TC, but anyway you can elimunate it in the setup for a test?
    So I might click on eBay say and the page doesn't seem to want to load at all, so I either cancel the loading or try clicking again on the bookmark again (or a link) and if i'm lucky it will then load quickly. If not I will have to try again.
    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with, Airport...

    208.67.220.220

  • Printer Problem with Time Capsule

    So here's The Problem. I have set up a complex network in our house. The internet comes from a phone line which is then plugged into a belkin N1 vision router. There is another wire coming out of the router and into a Time Capsule which broadcasts the internet, printing and file sharing around the house. We have three computers in the house: A windows XP desktop, a Macbook Pro, and a windows 7 laptop. Both laptops can connect to the network just fine, with wireless printing, but the desktop can connect to the internet fine, but when printing prints out junk. The steps i have taken to stop this are as follows:
    Re-install drivers
    install Bonjour
    Install AirPort Utility
    Restart computer, and printer
    change various wires in the network
    i know its a long question but i need help, PS the printer is a photosmart 8150

    Hi djmaq,
    Your English is fine and easy to understand.
    I am experiencing the same problem with a Vista PC and a Epson RX595 connected directly to a TimeCapsule. It started printing the page, stopped halfway through, and then finished printing the page and started printing MANY other pages with just "hieroglyphics" in random spots. I had to pull out the pages and cancel the print job.
    I'm going to work on it more this weekend, but if anyone has similar experience and has successfully found a resolution, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Password problem with Time Capsule - Time Machine

    Recently got a new 500 Gb Time Capsule. I am trying to set up Time Machine to back up on the Time Capsule. When I select the Time Capsule as the device to back up to, I am asked for a user name and password. When I enter what I am pretty sure are my username and password, and try everything else I can think of, I get an error saying that the user name or password are invalid. Any suggestions? Can I reset my user name and password on the device?

    Both the Time Capsule (TC) and AirPort Disks (USB hard drives connected to 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations), can be configured for any one of the following means to provide access:
    o With Base Station Password (default): With this method a single password is used to secure the base station’s settings and any attached hard disks.
    o With a Disk Password: This method employs a password that controls access to all disks; this password is distinct from the base-station password.
    o With Accounts: On partitions formatted with HFS+, you can set up individual user names and passwords, each with different levels of access; these accounts are distinct from any Mac OS X or
    Windows user accounts.
    If you elected not to set up a specific password, it will default to the TC's base station administrator credentials ... which should be public with no password. However, if this doesn't work, you can reset the TC's password by performing a "hard" reset.

  • Problem with Time Capsule recognizing three USB hub hard drives at one time

    I attached three external drives to my Time Capsule using a USB hub, but it only wants to recognize one drive at a time. I know that all three work individually with Time Capsule and the USB hub, because when I turn off the two other drives the third appears. I can turn these on and off sequentially, and all are individually recognized, but only one at a time. Does anyone know what I would need to do to get Time Capsule to recognize all three drives running simultaneously on the network? I turned Time Capsule on and off, to see if it would then recognize the three drives, but it didn't help. Could the hub be the problem, that it is underpowered? I do have an AC adapter on it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same issue and would love to know if you resolved it with a powered USB hub. Otherwise, i may just return to one external hard drive--though I will miss the double-backup idea. Anyone try the hub change?

  • Problem with Time Capsule password

    Hi everybody.
    I have a Time Capsule and I'm trying to perform the backup of my system with Time Machine. I have replaced my old Airport Extreme base with Time Capsule and I've configured everything so that the solid green light is turned on. Now I have my Time Capsule as an Airport Base and Internet is working properly.
    Once I'm opening Time Machine, it asks me what drive I want to use for backup. I choose Time Capsule and then it's asking me an username and a password.
    Please, could anyone tell me what username and password I have to write? I'm trying with my administrator one but it doesn't work. I looked everywhere but I'm not able to find the right UN and PW!
    Please, help!
    Thanks
    Matteo

    Matteo, you might have chosen to secure your disk with accounts rather than a password. To check this, go into the Airport Utility and double click Time Capsule on the left to enter manual setup, then click the disks icon on the top. Choose the file sharing tab and make sure "enable file sharing" is checked, then see if you have it set to "secure shared disks..." with Time Capsule password, rather than with accounts.
    Be warned: if you change this setting, you will lose access to any files already on Time Capsule.
