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.)

Problems with Mail (on O2) since upgrade to Mountain Lion

After having spent a frustrating few days trying to get this sorted, I thought I should make folk aware of the above problem. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have not been able to send email using smtp.o2.co.uk. The O2 call centre notes that a number of folk have been having this problem.
Some have suggested setting Custom Port to 25 but this hasn't worked for me.
Apparently O2 are going to get back to me within 5 days with an answer. I'm not holding my breath but am pleased to say I can still use my iPhone to send email.
Can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I signed up for an iCloud (***@me.com) account at the same time.
Any thoughts?

I got a fix. it works for me. while i'm on ML. safari and mail doesn't work properly. mail can't send emails with attachment and safari unble to open certain webpages.
i've log into my Internet modem, enable router mode from bridge mode. it works fine now. no promlem with sending emails or surfing the web. hope it'll helpful for u guys.

Problem accessing internet using time capsule after update to mountain lion

After updating my macbook air to moutain lion i am having some trouble accessing internet.
Evertytime i re-start my mac or airport utility i am able to access internet properly. After sometime when i access some particular sites, internet access goes down and i need to restart time capsule to access internet again.
Even though in airport utility internet is marked as disconnected, time capsule's indicator is still glowing green colour.
I tried deleting the com.apple.timemachine.plist file from /Library/Preferences/, but still no luck.
Is anybody else also facing the same problem? How can i resolve this problem?

Is the time capsule the only router in the network?
Try setting the lease time in the TC to very short value.. 20min or even less, 10min. It will not add signficant network traffic but might keep the Air updated to the TC.
I would also use SMB compatible name for the TC as well as wireless.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 5ghz so it cannot swap around.
And lock the wireless channels. Try each channel in turn, to see if any are better.

HT1338 since updating to Mountain Lion my HP 8180 all in one printer will not work and shows it as idle and pipe broken it connects via WIFI

since updating to Mountain Lion my HP 8180 all in one printer refuses to work it show as "pipe broken" and printer as idle can anyone help please

do you mean the printer? ive already tried that without success any further help apprecaited

HT1338 since updating to mountain lion i have noticed a considerable decrease in the performance of my iMac - most notably when loading pages on the internet. Is this common and is there a fix?

Since updating to mountain Lion, it's like being back in the 80's taking 30 seconds to load a page? Is this common or are there any ideas? I've checked my router and my ISP are all in order. Whilst the mac is wired to the router, everything else in the house is running fine off the wifi network. I am not very technically minded so any help is appreciated.

Which model and version of iMac do you have, AND more importantly, How many GB's of RAM do you have? Mountain Lion has shown itself to be very memory intensive in operation and the bare minimum amount of RAM to achieve any system speed is 4 GB's, according to other Forum users' experience, and mine. And more RAM than that speeds it up more.
Hope this helps

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 Logic Pro and Soft eLicenser on Mountain Lion?

Hi!
I have a bunch of Arturia synths, which requires the Soft eLicenser to work. This has always worked great with Lion, never any problems with eLicenser (never had to open it etc.)
Now - I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and tested my synths to make sure everything was OK, experienced a bunch of problems, and did a full recovery to clean Mountain Lion.
After installing the Arturia synths, and adding my licenses, I installed Logic. Everything worked fine!
BUT!
When I closed an Arturia synth within Logic, or closed Logic after running a project with one of these synths, I couldn't reopen any of these synths within Logic afterwards - In fact, I couldn't open the stand-alones either! And when I tried to open the eLicenser Control Center, it would just say "Reading eLicensers" forever. After a reboot, everything is OK.
I can open and close eLicenser Control Center and standalone synths as many times as I want, as long as I don't open Logic, and then Arturia synths as an AU in Logic.
I found a workaround: Open the eLicenser Control Center, and let in run in the background (cmd+H), and then open Logic. Then I could open Arturia synths and close them, close Logic and reopen etc. without any problems at all. NO PROBLEMS.
Until I close the eLicenser Control Center, then I have to reboot to be able to start it again.
I hope you understand what I mean here. It's a bit hard to explain.
In short terms: Logic makes Soft eLicenser crash when a eLicenser synth has been opened as an AU.
The same problem is when scanning the AU with AU manager. eLicenser window should be open before scanning.
Does ANYBODY have the same problems? Can anyone who has these applications test it out?

So it definitely seems to be a issue with Logic.
I can't force this error in 10.7.X no matter how hard I try, but in 10.8.2 it's definitely Logic messing things up.
Could it be auvaltool which has a bug? Or is that only run with AU manager on validation?
Hopefully this discussion can get some attention, and maybe it could be corrected. I guess a lot of Logic Pro users also has eLicenser Control Center for validation of their products.

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 =]

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?!

Cannot Access Corp VPN through Time Capsule Since Update

Since updating to version 7.6.1, I am no longer able to VPN to our corporate servers from home... from any device. We know its the Time Capsule because:
1) Connecting the laptop directly into the Provider and not using the Time Capsule, VPN will then work
2) Taking the iPad off of the Time Capsule wireless and having it on 3G allows VPN to work
FYI - we do not use any type of "ADSL/Cable" modem here since our building has Optical and there direct-to-provider LAN through the optical switch in the building cabinet.
Steps I have Taken: I have scoured through the settings to see what might have changed... and honestly nothing changed on my Time Capsule. I went ahead and did a full reset of the device and upon reset checked to see if I could connect to our VPN server but still could not. I am able to setup a L2TP and PPTP VPN server inside my home and I am able to access it remotely.
On thing that is interesting is that I can do a traceroute out the port and it does get out, so its not like its being blocked.... I am at a complete lost to what is going on. Anyone have any insight?

What type of vpn exactly does your corporate server use? I presume it is ipsec of some sort.
I think BTMM (reintroduced with Lion and iCloud and 7.61 firmware) uses ipsec somewhere in the process.. so it is very likely Apple allocated those ports to its own usage.. and really have a could not care less if ipsec now fails for anybody else.
A solution is to simply go back to 7.5.2 firmware.. which I take as being the last that worked mostly properly!!
Another solution is bridge the TC and get another router.
As for fixing the TC.. apple have a record of breaking vpn in firmware upgrades and fixing them at some future point.. but don't hold your breath.

Problem with my time capsule

hello , few days ago i bought a new airport time capsule and i started to use it , i have another external hd i want to copy all this external to my time capsule and i started to do it , now i want to erase some folders and replace some and that doesn't happen because this message pop up ,(he operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.) , i log on my mac book pro as administrator for information .i dont know how to change the privilege from the info ,and i dont have enough experince in dealing with networks.
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.

Problem with iPod Video (30gb) since update

Hi all.
I, today have had a slight problem with the iPod updater on my iPod Video. I have installed the newest version of itunes (6.0.2 I think), which prompted me to install the newest iPod updater with it, I downloaded that and installed it. After installing I ran the updater, it began to finish the installation and my computer froze (I'm using a new hard drive in my computer and found out thats the problem). My iPod, now, when I turn it on has a blank white screen, I've tried the resetting method (toggle hold, then hold menu and select 6 - 10 seconds) and the light goes away, the ipod beeps 3 times and the white screen comes back. Can anybody please help me? I have tried running the installer again and it just freezes, and when the iPod is plugged into the pc itunes doesn't start, how I had it configured.
Please help!!
Apreciated - Sam.
* I have also browsed the whole website thoroughly and found nothing. I have also tried google, and found nothing relating to my problem *

I am leaving soon on a trip and would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks

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.
