Resetting Time Capsule based on time

I have a Airport Express extended to a 1TB Time Capsule networked as an access point to the Internet, all works fine. What I would like to know is there any way I can reset/reboot my Time Capsule based on a time or day of the week. I find that after 1 week or so my small business network signal strength Transfer Rate drops a lot and network response time is slow. Once I manually unplug everything all is back to normal. Any help is appreciated. In my list of things to do to run my small business is to unplug the Time capsule and Airport Express and all is back to normal at 802.11n. I realize that building structures and device location effect signal strength but after an 'unplug' all is good. I have 3 MacBooks, 1Pro, 2 XPs and 2 Vistas.

Welcome to the discussions!

There's not a setting for this on the Time Capsule.
You might think then that you could plug the power cord of the Time Capsule into a simple electronic timer/scheduler available at most electronic stores and set it to a schedule of your choice.
The danger here is that the device might reboot in the middle of a Time Machine backup and that could cause some serious problems with corrupted files.
So, while it's a bit annoying, your best bet is to continue to reboot the Time Capsule manually as needed, making sure that a backup is not already in process when you power down and restart the device.

HT3728 Reset Time Capsule password.

Must I reset Time Capsule in order to change my password? (I have *not* forgotten my password; I simply want to change it.)
Thanks.

A) how long the password lenght it is avaiable for this time capsule
WPA uses either a passphrase (shared secret) that is comprised of 8 to 63 characters or a fixed-length of 64 Hex characters. These can include special characters and spaces.
B) how to reset the time capsule
Please review the following Apple Support article for how to reset your Time Capsule.
C) how to change the ssid
You would change the SSID, what Apple calls the Wireless Network Name, by using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select your Time Capsule, and then, select Edit.
Select the Network tab.
Enter the desired name (SSID) in the Wireless Network Name field.
Select Update, and then, allow the Time Capsule to restart.

Reset Time Capsule...Way to get back to the way it was?

I accidently reset time capsule and it was saying there were 2 IP addresses being used and so the internet was not working. I fixed the internet working by unplugging the ethernet cord and using the speed stream box we have instead, but now the time capsule is not hooked up to our mac. Do I have to completely reset all of our information? Or can I just do an update and will it go back? Thank you!

Just turn off everything and restart in the correct order.. modem first.. followed by the main router.. if TC then TC.. then the clients.. wait 2min between each startup to allow them to finish booting and so they have the address and dhcp working.

Ibook G4 shuts down unexpectedly and resets time and date

More and more frequently my iBook will shut down completely unexpectedly when not plugged in. This happens regardless of how much battery life it has or it claims to have (80%, 40%, 20%, 12%). It will not start up again from battery only. When I plug the computer and restart it, it has reset time and date to Wed March 31 1969, 19.31 pm. It alerts me that the time is set to before 2001 and this may lead applications to behave erratically.
Is this normal? Why is this happening?
I have a few months left of my APP, but that doesn't cover battery related problems, right?

Hi astaver and welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you are still using the original battery from a nearly 3 yrs old iBook then it is almost certain that the battery has reached the end of its useful life. The symptoms you describe more or less confirm this.
To check on battery health go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac>More Info>Power>Battery and copy/paste the info into a reply.
You can also download and install Coconut Battery which gives a GUI to the same info.
You are right in assuming that Applecare doesn't cover you for a dead battery of this age but you might like to see if you qualify under the iBook & PowerBook G4 - Battery Exchange Program.
Good luck,
Adrian

How can i reset timer (query)

how can i reset timer if particular job_action will occur within the time period (eg. 7days)
for eg.
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'seven_day_job',
job_type=>'plsql_block',
job_action=>if MIS_REPEAT_COUNT>=1 and MIS_TIMESTAMP=7 days
then reset timer( how coul'd i reset the timer) ;',
start_date=>systimestamp+7,
repeat_interval= freq= hourly,
enabled=>true);
i want that when the if condition is true the timer start again for 7 days

Your seven-day job will only run starting after 7 days since the start_date is set to current_time+7 days and after that it will run every hour.
If you want to reset when the job runs you can modify the start_date of the job
dbms_scheduler.set_attribute('seven_day_job','start_date',sysdate+7) ;
this will reset the job to run next after 7 days.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

I own an old PowerBook G3 that turns o only on battery. And, even so, always resets time and date. Whenever I connect the power cable, it turns off.

I own an old PowerBook G3 that turns o only on battery. And, even so, always resets time and date. Whenever I connect the power cable, it turns off. In addition, I a interested in refurbishing my old G3. And, a lesser old G4 LCD that shows a yellow vertical hair-width stripe.
Thank you in advance.

What model PowerBook? The internal PRAM battery has discharged and is not recharging. You'll need to replace the battery. This site has instructions. http://www.ifixit.com/Browse/PowerBook
The PRAM battery is not easy to change on some PB G3 models. I changed the battery on a Wallstreet model. Had to totally disassemble to do it. Bought the replacement battery on eBay.

Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like to sync all of your devices. Please make sure that all of the devices are updated at least to version 29.
If you were on a version before this, you will have to set up a new email and password with the new sync.

Resetting Time Capsule - network is OK, but no longer connects to internet

I've set up my TC in the past and it's worked fine, but periodic printer or router updates have caused problems and I think I need to completely reset it.
My setup is an ISP-suppled Orange Livebox Mini router connecting to the internet, an iMac plugged in by ethernet (connects to internet OK) and my TC connected to this router by ethernet. My MacBook Pro then connects wirelessly to the TC network. This setup means I don't need to have two wireless networks, I can disable the Livebox router's wireless network and use only the Time Capsule wireless. However, that's not working. I can create a wireless network with my MacBook Pro but the TC is unable to get an internet connection despite being connected by ethernet to the router. I think I need a total reset but even when I do a manual reset by sticking a pin in the tiny button on the back of the TC, when Airport Utility finds the TC to recreate a wireless network, I find the old settings. I feel this is, or should be, simple stuff as I managed to set it up before, but this time it's just not happening. For a long time I thought this was just a problem with wireless settings on my Lexmark printer and waited for the Apple/Lexmark updates to come through, but now I think my TC settings need to be flushed out. One thing that looks odd to me is the IP address on the TC. It's 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, I thought it should be nearer the range specified by the Livebox router, something more like 192.168.x.x
thanks.

Oh joy and happiness, I solved it myself, and I owe it to the community to give some details for the benefit of anyone with the same problem searching on terms like Orange Livebox Mini.
I solved it by racking my brains till inspiration came - that it was a very very well hidden setting on the router itself that was the problem, nothing to do with Time Capsule. I had called Orange to fix this before, but had forgotten that this little setting needs changing from its default every time you reset the router.
When you have to reset your Orange Livebox router, they more than likely won't ask about your entire setup, they will get one of your computers working by connecting it by ethernet to the primary ethernet port, numbered '1' on the back and with a red stripe next to it. But there are two, number 2 has a yellow coloured stripe and if your main computer, in my case the (desktop) iMac right next to the router goes into ethernet port 1, you will want to connect your Time Capsule into the second, yellow ethernet port. However, that port is not set to work automatically for anything to connect to, it's set up for digital tv. You need to go into your Orange admin page for the router, found by going to 192.168.1.1 on your browser and logging in (remember 'admin' is the magic and default password to get you in. If you have to do a manual reset because you changed and forgot your password, the magic word gets you back in). Once logged in, select 'services' in the menu on the left, then 'digital tv' and then select the 'disable' button. I know, you'd never have found it and never have guessed that's what you need to do to open up the second ethernet, but you now have two ethernet ports into the router and your TC goes into the second work.
Also wanted to say that my TC has actually been flawless in its performance. Not always easy for simpletons like me to set up, but the hardware has always worked. Printer updates and, I think, Apple OS updates remain a problem as they can throw the printer off, but I must remember to keep my nerve - TC is basically right on, it's just the various different ways to get at it - Network Diagnostics, Airport Utility that confuse me.

Time Capsule backup cannot be seen on new MAC after resetting Time Capsule and changing password.

I have backed up my MAC to Time Capsule with Time Machine, erased HDD and clean installed OX Yosemite. After installation I have to reconfigure Wi Fi, so I reset my Time Capsule changed password. Now I cannot see my previous back up on reinstalled MAC. Neither on TM nor on the Manual search. In finder appeared new disk. I am pretty sure that old files are still there. Can anybody suggest how to retrieve them.

This sounds like classic Yosemite.
What you did is fine.. there is no way to delete the backups via the reset button.
What I would suggest is a new clean setup of the TC again.. use a full factory reset.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Redo the setup from the airport utility in the Yosemite computer..
Do not use the recommend names.. use really short names.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgenx and TCwifi for basestation and wireless names.
You can also setup wireless password as before but I strongly recommend 8-20 character pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. no characters outside of that.
Then mount the TC manually in finder.
Go, Connect to server.
Type in the TC IP address if at all possible.. it is more likely to be reliable than using name.
SMB://10.0.1.1 (replace with your IP but it should be static.. that is default)
Or
SMB://TCgenx.local (use whatever name you have given it.. plus the domain which is always local)
when asked for the disk password supply it and save in the keychain. Then open the disk in finder and you should see your sparsebundle in there.. from migrate assistant you should now be able to see your backup.

How to reset Time Capsule Hard Drive?

Upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Have Airport Utility 6.x
Have a 2 TB Time Capsule, partioned to 1 TB disk and 1TB Time Machine Backup when I originally set it up.
Removed all files from te 1TB disk and cannot re-partion the disk to use the entier 2TB. Cannot even see the 1TB back up with Disk Utility.
Thoughts on how to reset?

So, the disk utility only shows the 1TB partition....bizarre.
