Problems with iTunes syncing iPhotos on Time Capsule after Mavericks update?

Hello all,
I currently have all my Music/Movies/TV Shows/Photos stored on my Time Capsule and have been using iTunes and iPhoto to retreive files from it with no problems until I recently upgraded to Mavericks.
Couple of days ago, I updated to Mavericks, downloaded the latest version of iPhoto and iTunes. Yet once I've done so I could no longer sync photos to my iPhone, iPad or even see my photos on my Apple TV. I could however see the Music other Media. It took iTunes abnormally longer time to retrieve the data from the network and once it did and tried to sync them with the phone it just hung and crashed.
I tried doing the following:
Deleting the iPod, Apple TV cache from the iPhoto library.
Fixed iPhoto Permissions and rebuilt the whole of the iPhoto library.
Deleted my iTunes library and rebuilt it from scratch.
All that did not work. The only thing that did however, was taking the photos from the Time Capsule and back to my computer. That seemed to fix things and I was able to make everything work again.
What I am asking is: Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this an OS bug that will be addressed? or is there anyway I could fix this on my own? I only own a Macbook Air and the 15GB of photos I have already take a huge chunk out of the 59GB I have available on my laptop. Thanks.

I have a new Time Capsule (the tall version), but no Mavericks yet (I have OSX 10.8.5) and latest iTunes and Time Capsule sw. I have pictures and iTunes library on the Time Capsule.
iTunes messes a lot with synching pictures and music.
I have tried to delete the picture cache on the Capsule, but that only helped once. Next time it looked over the pictures for a long time, but synched none. With music I get an error message that it's wrong format (it isn't, the file is fine, I can see it) - and since next time that song will/might come in, but some next song won't. Then it could gray out some music on iPad (running iOS 6.1.3), some times it actually plays grayed out music, some times it doesn't.
But on my Mac Mini (which runs iTunes, all year long), all is fine, so the music exists fine! Synching looks very broken to me! This happened when my wide Time Capule's disk broke and I had to recover the iTunes library from a backup.
I'd rather not move all of this onto the MacBook, as I want anyone to be able to synch and play music wouthot having to relate to some laptop.

Airport Utility can't find my Time Capsule after Mavericks update

Hello - I recently updated my Mac Book Air to Mavericks 10.9.1, and I can no longer manage my AirPort Base Station or Extender from that machine. This means I cannot use the Time Machine backups from that Base Station, or view the devices on the network at all.
Screen Shot from my Mac Book Air:
I am connected to "Kobayashi" which is the network created from the Time Capsule, so I can connect to the network it is broadcasting from this machine.
From my MacBook Pro using OS X (10.7.5) I can view the network and also perform Time Machine back-ups. Here is a screen shot from that machine:
I have connected the MacBook Air both using the wireless connection and also an ethernet to Thunderbolt adapter. I have done a hard reset on the Time Capsule, and also restored it to factory settings.
I have tried it with settings to allow and disallow IPv6 requests.
Any advice on additional trouble shooting/fixes I can try?
Thanks
Jon

Thank you. Your suggestion helped resolve my 'Backup Delayed' error for Time Capsule. I use an early 2009 iMac and OS 10.9.2 and my home network is created by this very Time Capsule. I also use the McAfee Internet Security for Mac package. This error cropped up after one of the latest OS updates to Mavericks.

Thanks! I had a similar problem. I had McAfee All Access - Internet Security installed and it was blocking the connection to the Time Capsule.
The firewall setting defaults to "Public" rather than "Home or Work".
Path to setting. Open McAfee. Preferences > Firewall - Select "Home or Work."
To resolve my issue I went to McAfee Internet Security Preferences and under the Firewall tab ---> Network Connections changed the 'Type' fom Public to Home or Work.

Problem with itunes and iphoto after time machine restoration

After an apocalyptic type meltdown in my hardrive the other night, I now have a new one. I have restored as much as I had backed up using time machine when I turned my computer back on for the first time. However in iphoto it lists all the different albums I have, but all the photos come up as grey squares. They are definitely on the computer as you can see them in the iphoto originals folder in the finder window.
A similar problem with itunes. My itunes library is totally blank, with no songs whatsoever. However the songs are there in itunes music folder.
How can I restore everything back to normal?
Matt

Look at Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
There are separate sections for iphoto and itunes.
It has to be so complicated because Apple made TM to do too much and be too many things to too many people.. a horse designed by a committee. It has become flakey in later editions.
If you still have the iMac you can move the files directly from the source.. you don't need to use TM backups at all.

Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
I get a message
If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop
Please help. seems like I had this issue before but do not remember what caused this and how it was resolved

I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

Problems with setting up my new Time Capsule.

Hello.
I've searched through internet several times now and still can't find the answers...
I got an AirPort Time Capsule (3 TB) for Christmas and tried to get it to work today.
When I connected it to the modem (ethernet) and then plugged it in, on my MacBook Air (OS X, Version 10.9) I clicked on the Time Capsule link (or whatever it was called) in the WiFi bar, then did everything I was told to do (filled in the information such as the name of my WiFi, named the 'base' - I mean the Time Capsule; I don't really know how it's called in English since I'm not a native -, blah blah, and then restarted the modem... After a few minutes long wait the only thing that I've recieved was a 'Sorry, something went wrong'. - Or something similiar.) After this happened, I could no longer see the 'Time Capsule link' in the WiFi bar and had to reset the Time Capsule itself.
So here's the question... Does anyone know what to do? Any answer will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Markéta Lišková.

We are seeing more and more that auto setup is simply failing.. The problem is Apple preselects certain preferred outcomes from their point of view rather than work with what exists.
But we need some facts before we can tell you how to fix it.
What modem do you have? Type of broadband?
Most important.. is this modem also working as router?
If it is adsl the TC seems to pick that up and immediately wants to take over as router.
Whichever broadband you have.. if the existing modem is also a router, stick to the TC working in bridge mode.
Do this manually. And do it by ethernet.
Steps as follows.
1. Reset the TC and plug a LAN port of the TC into ethernet port of the computer.
Open your Network preferences and you should see it exactly as below.. the TC at 10.0.1.1 and the ethernet on 10.0.1.2
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local.. this is crucial.. and not given enough emphasis in the instructions.. you cannot get the setup to work properly without it. Don't forget to change ipv6 to link-local for wireless as well.
2. Open the airport utility and go to File / Configure Other.
3. Type in the IP of the TC.. no password is needed until it is setup. Click OK
4. You are now in the Manual setup area. And finally YOU can setup the TC.. CORRECTLY.
5.
As per above.. if the modem is a router.. set the TC to bridge.
6. Go to the Internet tab and check it is set to dhcp.. it will be by default.
7. Go to the wireless tab and create a wireless network.
Give it a suitable name. Short .. no spaces and pure alphaunumeric.. is my recommendation.
8. Go to the Base Station tab and give the TC a suitable name.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric, I strongly recommend.
Click update and now plug the TC into the modem.. ethernet LAN port modem to WAN port of the TC.
All will now work.. because YOU are the BOSS!
Tell us more if your modem is not a router.

Problem with 4 sparsebundles to a time capsule - running out of room

hi, if anyone could help me? I am near critical in filling up the time capsule and time machine is not deleting older files within the sparsebundles.
I have 4 macs backing up to a 1Tb time capsule via time machine. I have only 4.4 G left.
Theoretically, the time machines for each individual machines should have started deleting once I hit a critical mark. But, it has simply continued filling and I am worried it is going to crash.
I realized this happend a few months ago when I was keeping docs AND sparsebundles on the timecapsule. but when I called applecare, they guarenteed it was because of the data files and once I had only sparse bundles on the time capsule, there would be no problem.
Well, the problem has reoccured, and I am no longer covered by apple care.
My questions are:
1. I was told once that you could export your sparsebundles directly to a USB drive? Can someone tell me how (from within time capsule). Otherwise, copying requires it go through one of my computers (which I assume would then be done wirelessly and be slooooooow). I can't take it in to the apple store until I have the data backed up.
2. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a setting (ie watermark) that I am simply missing?
Any help would be greately appreciated.

No, there's no "critical mark" if you mean a certain percentage or amount of space remaining. Time Machine will begin deleting old backups when it doesn't have enough room for new ones.
If any of your Macs are running Leopard, however, and have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, the backups will fail with a "Backup disk full" message. See #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

Time Capsule after firmware update

I am using a MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo (not duo 2) device and a Time Capsule. I just installed the Airport Utility (5.4.1) update which then had me update the firmware on my TC. Since the update, the TC and the MacBook have restarted but now Airport Utility cannot find my TC. The TC has a solid amber light. Internet seems to work fine. I can even go into Time Machine and see my backups. But Airport Utility does not identify the Time Capsule and the light is Amber. Hooking up directly with an ethernet cable doesn't solve the problem. What's the deal?
Thanks!

Usually it means there is some setting on th TC which is not right/optimum or has been left untouched (factory defaults).
Did you try doing a factory reset on your TC ? Did you update your Airport Utility on the client machine ?

Time Capsule - After recent update

Would appreciate some guidance from the knowledgeable! I backup to Time Capsule and the backups seem to be working fine. However, there seem to be no less than five references to the device on my desktop, and I would like someone, kindly, to explain why there are so many:
1. There is "RR Time Capsule" (RR is where I live). There is a mini-icon of the Time Capsule next to it. This is under "Shared"
2. There is "rr-time-capsu" (i.e. lower case, truncated) with a picture of a screen... also under "Shared"
3. There is "Backup of JAA MBP" under "Devices".
4. There are two separate "RR Time Capsule" icons on the RHS of the Desktop (under Macintosh HD).
I should add that I back up wirelessly, using the "Device Password" security.
Any brief guidance would be great,
Thanks,
Fortinbras.

Problems with iTunes Sync Since Mavericks Install

MacBook Air, 2011, 4GB, 1.7 GHz, 256GB Drive
Early this week I installed Mavericks (no problem). System Update also updated iTunes and iOS 7 on my various mobile devices.
Now, every other time (more or less) I connect my iphone or ipad for syncs, i get the following symptoms:
- Fans start to run at high speed, with SMC temperature indicator shooting to 200
- Activity Monitor confirms that the energy hog is iTunes
- Battery runs down quickly and visibly
- iTines then syncs everything, i.e. re-dowloads to my mobile devices all the music and >3000 pictures.
Went to the Apple story and, in the typical Apple answer, they said we haven't heard of the problem. Of course, I could not replicate it in fron of them.
Is this a known problem? Any hints?

Go to Add/Remove Software or Manage Applications (Whatever they changed it to in Vista/7/8) Find and remove iTunes and iTunes Mobile Device support. Better yet follow this:
XP: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Vista/7/8: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923

Problems with itunes syncing!!!!

Hi All,
I have just updated my music library adding album art to all artists, yet when i sync with ipad, it doesnt update. Also I synced ipad so i should of only had one album on ipad, yet even though it only showed the one album on itunes, all the others stayed on the ipad. i thought these would of been taken off.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

IOS 5 allows you to remove songs/ albums using the device itself, simply hold you finger down on an album and tap the cross.

Why are you updating Firefox so fast? I get problems with my Internet Bank every time before they have updated their software. And by that time you already have a new version.

I get a popup that tells there is a new version and I don't know how to get rid of it.
As I have said in the question I get problems when you are updating too many times in a year.
I didn't know where to ask this question. Maybe there is a better place, but I could not find it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did finally find out that I could uncheck Firefox update and wait until my bank have done their update. (And I can of course use Internet Explorer...) But I still think you make new versions too fast.

Problem with my Lumia 928... started after Amber update.

First, I to state that I love my Lumia 928 and the Windows Phone 8 OS. Second, I've been a Third-Party Microsoft developer for over 14 years and just started developing for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. So, I'm not a normal consumer but one that will try everything in my toolbox before asking for help or even writing posts like this.
History:
As of October 6, 2013, Verizon is sending me a new phone (not guaranteed to be new. ) to see if that fixes the issue
Used for work and personal emails so I can't just go and do a "hard" reset without have extreme headaches.Last resort before I get my "new" phone, I've broken down and started doing a "hard" reset (actually this is my second time).
No damage to the phone (Verizon employee has confirmed these, hence the new replacement)
No cracked screen
No frame cracked
No water damage
Shortly after the Amber update, I started having problems. In order of oldest issue first.
Lock upsRandom apps just freeze. No rhyme or reason. No pattern. Just all over the board.
No touch responseSide buttons work but that does be no good when I can't select anything on the screen. Solution, "soft" reset and things are good... for a while.
Phone call speakerStarted losing phone calls. Thought it was a signal issue until I noticed that the call were not actually dropped. Speaker just started cutting in and out (completely) and sometimes it would just dim to almost nothing and then come back.
Microsoft account
This is new as of October 5, 2013
October 4, 2013, nothing was wrong. Then the next day, my Live account associated with my phone stopped working. Keeps saying "Not up to-date". Had to create another account to get my emails. As of today, it's still not working. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the error code so I can't post that here.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues after the Amber update and if so, what did you do to resolve it (if you did)?
Thanks,
Stu

The Amber update came to our Lumia 928 and we had just activated it like one or two weeks prior, so we were just getting to know the phone. In answer to your difficulties following the Amber update:

Speaker just started cutting in and out (completely) and sometimes it would just dim to almost nothing and then come back. I've had this happen on a couple of calls - the caller becomes very garbled and static filled. I've had to hang upand call back - and they say the same thing happens on their end, my voice is all garbled, like I'm underwater or something. Not all calls, and not frequently, but maybe once every couple of weeks.

My screen is cracked due to a drop, prior to the Amber update. (Yeah, it was nearly brand new when I dropped it ) That doesn't seem to affect the overall function of the phone though.
So, to sum, I am experiencing some of the issues you described, but I'm not sure it's Amber, maybe just the phone design itself. I don't know that a "new" phone will resolve things either. Please do keep us posted...

I can't acces my Itunes movies from my Time Capsule

I am trying to access my Itunes movies from my time capsules after I did the backup. When I click on the movie I can see the movie icon, however when I doble click it I am getting this message: "protected video, it can only be play with itunes or quicktime". Please help. Thanks

you will have to restore the file(s) before you can use them. you cannot use them from within the backup.
How do I view or restore selected items?

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partition?

Using an external drive with shared files (iPhoto, iTunes), attached to a Time Capsule, can the contents of the external drive be backed-up to the internal Time Capsule drive? Perhaps a RAID1 mirror to a partitioned Time Capsule? I understand that the Time Machine (software) cannot backup a networked drive (the external) and that Time Capsule (the router/wireless hard drive) does not have its own backup software... so it won't backup the connected drive. What I would like is an alternate solution for having an automated backup of a networked drive. A 2TB Time Capsule has more than enough space for Time Machine backups of my family of Macbooks, so I had hoped to mirror a 500GB external drive (with shared media files) to a portion of the Time Capsule internal hard drive. I assume this would require a partition of the Time Capsule drive. If not, would the sparse file from the various computers being backed up need to be copied to the external drive as part of the RAID1 setup? This seems like overkill for the Time Machine backup, but it would cover the media files.

The complexity with this idea is the software has to run from a Mac computer on your network.. so you need a Mac turned on, probably most of the day.
It isn't possible to partition the TC although you can create a image area.
The software would have to copy the material, that means all files to be copied, go from USB drive, back to the Mac, then back to the TC, and written to the drive. In other words you have just added Network congestion, although a proper incremental backup type software will not actually use a lot of capacity.
Finally it will be slow.. network drives are slower than internal drives. Well USB connected drive is much slower than the same drive connected directly to the computer.. and if the drive is connected directly to a computer it can be shared with the network.

Read carefully the speed of the USB drive plugged into the TC.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab. Everything else seems to work okay in itunes. I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone. Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay. The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps. The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up. I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added. If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it. I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there. I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems. HELP.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!
