Save to time capsule - drive not showing up

I am new to i-movie (latest version). I ask to see the hard drives because I want to put all my projects and events onto timecapsule. It shows my time capsule in the list of drives once the programme loads but with a hazard symbol. When I create a new movie, only my internal hard drive shows up in the place to select where you want to save to.
How do I save on time capsule?

And according to this link you can't use the USB port to mount Time-Capsule.

  • Time Capsule Drive not showing up on desktop anymore

    Hi, every hour when Time Machine would begin backing up data to my Time Capsule, the drive would always show up on my desktop and then disappear when it was finished. Just recently the drive stopped showing up on my desktop, Time Machine still backs up to my Time Capsule. The drive shows up in the finder sidebar. Any help is greatly appreciated

    My Time Capsule shows up on my drive but I can't do anything with it. This is in Snow Leopard even after today's 10.6.2 update.
    All I get is this message "The alias “TIME CAPSULE” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
    I then have three options - Delete Alias - which gives me "The item “TIME CAPSULE” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."
    Or - Fix Alias - which gives me a chance to navigate to the TC but it's all greyed out.
    Or - Okay - which it plainly isn't!
    I really hoped Apple would fix this. I have another Mac running Leopard and it mounts Time Capsule on my desktop and all it's files are accessible just like any other external drive - exactly how I want it!
    cheers

  • Time capsule does not show the blue bars near backing up.  Any idea why?

    Time Capsule is not showing that it is backing up.  Any idea why?

    For some reason it was going in a loop.  Support had me omit some com.apple....plist files.  Retarted and Tiime Capsule started as though it had never seen the external hard drive.  I set it up again and it worked fine.
    Thank you,

  • My Time Capsule will not show up on my Macbook.

    Hey Everyone,
    I was originaly needing to clear up some room on my MacBook and was looking at an external drive.  I ended up buying the Time Capsule becaue it could back up more than one device, I could hook a printer up to it, and my MacBook could back up wirelessly.  However, I am in the middle of a move and do not have access to a router to plug it in.  After searcing in here I was able to get it to display a green light by clicking "ignore" in a couple of places.  So now the light is no longer fashing amber but I cannot find it anywhere on my Mac.  Not in Time Machine, Disk Untility, Folder window - no where.  Is there any way to set it up and use it without having it plugged in to the Internet?  I currently have it hooked up to my MacBook with an ethernet cord.  I would like to transfer my old backups from a smaller external harddrive, but at this point, I can't even get Time Machine to recognize it so that I could back up now.
    Thanks for your help.

    Factory reset the TC.. make sure there is no other connection to the Mac.
    It should now be able to find the TC .. if not something is faulty.

  • Time capsule disks not showing folders.

    I only use time capsule as a hard drive source. But after i upgraded to mavericks i cannot access any folders I saved in my time capsule disk cause they just won't appear on finder. I have a picture to help you genius understand a bit clearer. Can anyone please help??? Thanks in advance.

    I have NOT upgraded.. and will not until it has done a few updates.. due to exactly the fun and games you are having..
    There is a major issue with the change in Mavericks to using SMB as preferred protocol.
    Eject the TC..
    Manually mount the TC.. using go, connect to server.
    AFP://TCname or APF://TCIPaddress
    Or use
    CIFS://TCname etc.
    Is your TC available via airport utility? Is it on 7.6.4 firmware.. if not update??

  • OsX Mavericks and Time Capsule Drive not connecting

    Hi,
    I upgraded to Mavericks today and I am now trying to access my 2 TB Time Capsule Hard Drive. I get an error that says: There was a Problem connecting to "XXXX Time Capsule" Server. I also use the Time Capsule for my wireless network, which is working fine. When I go into the AirPort Utility and try to see the Time Capsule info it constantly asks me to put in my password and once I do nothing happens, but the password request appears again in a few minutes. Both my iPhoto and iTunes libraries are stored on my Time Capsule as well as my Time Machine Backups. It has not been able to perform backups either, since it cannot connect to the disk. I am running a MacBook Pro 2010.
    Has anyone else had this problem thus far? Is there a workaround for this or an update I should do?
    Thanks!!

    Howdy seanay89,
    It sounds like you are unable to make a Time Machine backup becuse the disk is not connecting correctly. I want to recommend these links from the article named:
    Time Machine: Troubleshooting backup issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275
    Red "i" message: "The backup volume could not be mounted" or "The backup volume could not be found." appears when using network volume or Time Capsule
    Time Capsule: Time Machine backups do not mount
    Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later: Time Machine - "Backup volume could not be mounted" after changing network volume's password
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Time capsule drive not recognized

    I have installed my Time Capsule using Airport.
    The internet connection works fine.
    But unfortunately the capsule doesn't recognize the hard disk (or another drive connected via USB on the capsule).
    The drives were available in earlier cases, but not always!.
    Hope you can help,
    Peter

    The drives were available in earlier cases, but not always!.
    Sorry but this is difficult to follow.. in what cases were the drives available.. ?? When were they not available?
    The USB drive must be FAT32 or HFS+ formatted.. and it must be GUID partitioned but that seems less of an issue. It is very possible you need a powered hub, as the TC does have port issues.. and it has nothing to do with the powered drive.. it still needs a powered hub.. and just to be fun.. not all powered hubs work. There is a limited number of drivers in the TC.. the powered hub that works on a Mac does not necessarily work on the TC.

  • Time Capsule does not show backups but

    Timw Capule does not show backups but the Time Machine Preferences shows the dates of the oldest and latest backups.  I shortened the name of the Time Capsule even though it was not over 27 letters.  Sill can not see any backups when I enter Time Machine.  It only shows NOW.
    This occurred today, June 1st.  I has a problem when I connected for the first time in May and it eliminated all prior backups for over 6 months and began with a total new backup.  It does not seem to like new months.

    This problem is typical of Time Machine on Mavericks.. have you upgraded a computer. When you started using Mavericks it will probably destroy all your old backups. But if you are trying to find a particular file, use the method in Pondini here to open the sparsebundle in Finder. You will not see anything via the TM in Mavericks.
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    You can and should read all the FAQ from 14-17 to understand other options for accessing old backups.

  • Time capsule does not appear in shared devices

    All of the sudden my Time Capsule does not show up in the shared devices. It's all up to date, it is working fine as a router and internet connection works fine. It also show up in the airpot utility and the light is green however it does not show up on the shared devices so I cannot access the data folider anymore.
    Furthermore Airport utility indicates that the disk is damaged but I cannot repair it because I cannot access it.
    Any ideas? (beside doing a reset which I have already done)

    That is bad.. the light should not be green unless you told the TC to ignore the problem.
    A damaged disk has to be replaced.. if the SMART has gone off or is showing as bad or no capacity then you need to replace the disk (or if under warranty.. the whole TC).
    How old is the TC?
    Model number from the base A1xxx helps.
    You can try doing an erase from the airport utility if the disk shows up at all. But if SMART has gone off the disk will need replacement anyway.
    If less than 1year return to apple for warranty replacement.. and if you have applecare on a computer it will cover the TC for up to 3years although the rules are strict.. so check.
    See instructions for removal of the hard disk.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule_Model_A1302
    Certainly if the TC is older than 3years.. it might be better to consider replacement. Certainly replacing a hard disk could be just short fix until the power supply also goes.

  • HT1178 air time capsule is not accepting external hard drive content in back up

    Own a mac air and have an external seagate hard drive. Bought airport time capsule and want to include or transfer the seagate content to the airport time capsule. I used the seagate drive as external hard drive but want the content to be available in the airtime capsule. When trying to generate back up (while seagate is connected) it only inclydes the content on the mac air flash memory. In the air capsule menu I do see the seagate but I don't believe it is excluded from the backup? Again I want it included in the back up.
    Thanks!

    The list is backwards.. anything on the list is excluded.. it has to be off the list to be included.. by default external drives are excluded.. you must remove it from the excluded list to include it.
    Please note.. sharing content of an external drive via a Time Machine backup is not going to work.
    Time Machine is designed to create an exclusive virtual disk on the TC for that particular computer.. although other computers can access it .. it is specifically designed to be difficult.. nor are files in formats that can be used directly.. the file has to be restored to the computer.
    Time Capsule is not designed as a NAS and usage of it that way is often going to lead to problems.
    Read the info in Pondini how best to avoid the worst aspects of that.
    Q3 here http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Remember if you share files from the TC they have no backups and Time Machine cannot backup network drives.

  • Time Machine will not backup Time Capsule drive

    I was filling up my time capsule so I bought a new 2GB drive for my backups. It is attached as an air disk on the Time Capsule as I also use it to backup other computers in the house.
    My problem is that I am now using the HDD in the time capsule for my iTunes and iPhoto library, so that they can also be shared, but they are not being backed up by TM.
    I have checked my excluded drives list and the Time Capsule drive isn't in there.
    Any ideas/help/advice on how to get the time capsule backed up too?

    Sorry, but Time Machine will not backup a network drive (i.e. TC's HDD or any USB HDD attached to the TC). It can backup TO a NAS such as TC or a USB HDD attached to the TC. You can transfer your music to another external HDD that is connected directly to a Leopard-loaded Mac and TM can backup that up to TC/HDD attached to a TC.

  • 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.

  • My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

    Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
    Apple AirPort Time Capsule
    I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
    I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
    Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured,  but then it works.
    The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
    So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

    I can deal with the last question first and easily.
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
    Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
    When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
    Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
    A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
    It can take several hours..
    7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
    35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
    The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
    Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

  • How can I save to Time Capsule?

    I am a new Mac user, just got my first MacBook and TC. I want to start saving files to the time capsule, but it's not give me a path to do so. When I choose a file I want to save, then File >>> Save As >>> Time Capsule, the Save botton on the bottom right never is available to be chosen.
    Do it need to be formatted? Please assist, thank you.

    Load the airport utility for windows. Sadly the most recent one is old.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
    Although it is for windows 7 it does work on 8 and 8.1 .. tell us if you have problems loading it. Some people find it won't work without using safe mode.
    The utility will not help a lot to setup the latest model TC.. it is fine for Gen4 and earlier. But it does load bonjour for windows and a disk access agent.
    The TC should run simple names.. Short.. keep them below 10 characters if you can. No spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    That includes the base station name and wireless name.
    Once all of that is correct, open windows explorer and type in the address bar.
    \\TCname or \\TCipaddress where you replace TCname with the new short name or TCipaddress with obviously its actual IP.
    You will then get a request for username and password. Username is whatever.. admin will do. Password type in your disk access password.. public by default.
    TC is not designed to allow partitions so you cannot partition the TC disk. Create a folder and simply copy and paste your files to the folder.
    NOTE:: The TC cannot back itself up. So make sure you do not move files to the TC without having another copy.
    NOTE:: The TC does not happily mix TM backups and data.
