Show Time Capsule icon in dock

I removed the time capsule icon from the dock by mistake. How can I reinstall it? (in addition to the one on the menu bar at the top!)

Thanks a lot. I tried this before but must have done it too quickly. Slow dragging did the trick!

  • Updated OS & now Time Capsule icon isn't showing up on desktop

    Just finally upgraded to 10.5. Now my Time Capsule icon isn't showing up on my desktop. Light is green on TC and I can navigate to it through Macintosh HD folder, then shared devices. I just used it as an additional external hard drive at this point. How do I get the icon to reappear. I already updated Airport too.

    Presuming you mean the volume of the Time Capsule's internal disk, mount that, open the Accounts panel of System Preferences, authenticate by clicking on the lock if it's "closed", select your account, select the "Login Items" tab, then drag the icon of that drive to the login items list.
    Note that this will cause a window of that drive to appear each time you log in. If you search these discussions, you may find some older threads that discuss ways around that.

  • Time Capsule Icons Concern

    Hello, I have a question with the different Time Capsule icons that show up on The Desktop, in the Finder Sidebar, and in Time Capsule preferences.
    They change constantly. Should I be concerned with it?
    Could someone tell me what they all mean?
    One looks Greenish and has the Time capsule arrow on it,
    Another is Light Blue and has three people,
    And another that is Aqua Blue and has the AirPort logo on it
    Forgive me for not using specific terms but i don't know the names.

  • 2 Time Capsule Icons In Finder

    I was having problems connecting to the internet and called AppleCare. They had me reset my time capsule and set it up again from scratch. All was well last night but this morning when I woke my iMac up there are now 2 Time Capsule icons in the Finder. One looks like the normal TC icon and says Mac server and the other looks like a PC and says PC server. Anyone know what's going on? This thing worked flawlessly until yesterday.

    honestly I went through the settings on the TC and was not able to find anything that would specifically effect windows SMB filesharing. My thought is that it, by default, has that particular protocol enabled. From looking around the other forums, it appears that other users are having PC servers popping up when networked with other Apple devices (computers specifically). My thought is that it is a small "bug" in leopards expanded Windows networking abilities. Many people claim to not have had the issue with older Mac OSX versions and that it only arose when upgrading to leopard.
    Since the Macbook is not here right now for me to experiment, and my TC does not show up as a windows server, perhaps give a try at disabling SMB file sharing in the Sharing preferences pane. If the PC Server portion of the TC disappears than we know it is Leopards SMB sharing that causes this. if you network with other windows computer though you will want to re-enable this.
    The fact that all SMB enabled apple devices don't show up on other Macs as PC servers indicates to me that it is likely a bug (either all or none should show up), as my MacPro does not show up as a PC server on the Macbook.
    Go figure. At least this isn't terribly intrusive (maybe just a little ugly to have that blue screen of death lingering in the finder sidebar!)

  • Time Capsule Icon No Longer Appears on Desktop

    Two weeks ago I had AT&T U-verse cable, internet, & phone installed. As part of that installation they installed an AT&T router/wireless combination. The ethernet cable that was previously connected to Time Capsule is now connected to the AT&T device. There is no longer any ethernet connection to Time Capsule. The Time Capsule icon still appeared on my desktop and I manually performed back-ups from my Windows applications to Time Capsule. Time Capsule went from displaying a constant green light to displaying a flashing yellow light. That worked for several days. After about a week of that there appeared on my screen a 'wizard' of some sort recognizing the status of Time Capsule. It said this 'wizard' would eliminate the flashing yellow light. I followed the steps through the 'wizard' and at one point the flashing yellow light turned to constant green. There were a few more steps in the 'wizard' and when it was finished the flashing yellow light reappeared. The next time I tried saving files from Windows I could not connect to my w: drive, and the Time Capsule icon no longer appeared on my Mac desktop. I went into Airport Utilities and there is a box checked that should display the icon properly. Any ideas what's happening? How do I restore Time Capsule so I can back-up my files. Thank you.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I don't have 10.6.1 yet, but have noticed this happens very occasionally on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iMac. Simply resetting Time Machine on my laptop has done the trick.
    Open System Preferences
    Click on Time Machine
    Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backups
    If that does not do it then delete the "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" file. It's located as follows:
    Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
    Restart your computer
    Then perform the same steps as above to setup Time Machine again.
    The resets will not affect any of your backups.

  • What does this error message mean? "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584). It arises when I open my Time Capsule icon.

    I had a problem when downloading iTunes 11.1 and had to clear my disc and rebuild it from Time Capsule.  Thats when I learned that Time Capsule stopped backing up back in January.  So now I keep looking to see if Time Capsule is backing up but whenever I open the Time Capsule icon i get this error message.  What does it mean and how can I fix the problem?

    The backup is corrupted in some way.. you need to verify it.
    The error is common enough but there seems to be a range of solutions.

  • Time Capsule icon remains on desktop

    Hi,
    On my iMac, the TC capsule is only visible during backups (or after I entered the Time Machine). It disappears automatically as soon as the backup is made, and only appears again when the next backup is to be made.
    On my wife's MacBook, on the other hand, the TC icon remains on the desktop after the first backup of that day. Several times an hour, the MacBook seems to want to check if the TC volume is still present (which my iMac doesn't do).
    Is there a way to make Time Capsule / Time Machine clear that I only need to see the TC icon when backups are made? And that there's no need to poll the TC volume every 10 or 15 minutes or so?
    BTW: we are talking about 1 and the same Time capsule used by both the iMac and the MacBook.
    Any help would be highly welcomed.
    Thanks
    J.

    Amenhotep,
    I believe the TCs icon is there because you have manually mounted it once before. When the dialogue box opened asking for a password you clicked "Remember password in my keychain".
    Try the suggestion in the second paragraph below...
    *Authentication Issues* (For Time Capsule / AirDisk Users) #
    Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left. Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
    Also you may see an item with the name of your Time Capsule. It will have a little blue "@" icon and the KIND will be "Network Password". This Keychain item is only created if you have physically connected to your Time Capsule via the "Connect As..." function in the Finder window. Delete this entry. It will be recreated next time you manually mount your Time Capsule.
    Now, go to the Desktop and Ctrl-Click the Time Capsule icon. A contextual menu will appear. Select "Eject". The TC icon will disappear. If you MUST mount the drive again in the future, do not select "Remember password in my keychain" and remember to manually Eject it when you are done.
    Let us know if this resolved your issue.
    Cheers!

  • Time Capsule Icons

    What do the time capsule icons mean? when you click on change disk.
    One has the symbol of the arrow moving counter clockwise and the other looks like three little people?

    Yes, I am wanting to know what these are as well. Anyone know?

  • How can I make the Time Capsule Icon stay on my desktop?

    I just replaced my old Airport Extreme and aging external drive with a new Airport TC.  The upgrade coulen't have been easier. Here's my question.  I occasionally want to access the TC as in external drive so I would like the TC icon to appear on my desktop all the time rather than appearing only when the Time machine is running.  Is there a way to do this?  I'm running all the latest software / firmware. Thanks and I know there have been some similar threads but they were pretty old.

    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Users & Groups
    Click the Login Items tab (next to the Password tab)
    Click the + buttton at the bottom of the list
    Use the Finder interface to locatet the Time Capsule drive and open it on the desktop
    Click Add
    Now the Time Capsule drive....named "Data", unless you have renamed it, will mounta and appear on the desktop when your Mac starts up.

  • S.O.S. - The case of the missing TIme Capsule icon

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to a local network.
    Our Macbook Air, iPad and three iPhones all have WiFi. No problem.
    My Macbook Pro has solid black radiating bars in the main menu. In Airport Utility, it shows the "Internet Globe" with a green circle below. Below that, however all I get is a spinning wheel. At the same time, the Macbook Air shows the icon of the time capsule with a green circle below.
    Is there a setting I am missing? Some said to turn off Mac Access, but I do not know where to do that. In System Preferences, Wi-Fi is green, and it says WiFi is connected.
    I ran all of the maintenance (rebuilt Directory, optimized the drive, weekly/monthly scripts, etc) All of the hardware checks out.
    Has anyone had this happen? Help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is typical Yosemite.. please confirm OS on Pro and Air.. Yosemite,  has the network ability of a pair of tin cans with wet string. (that dried and snapped).
    The odd thing of course is the MBP is on the internet.. but perhaps just too stupid to figure out the local network.
    So here is the first few things to try.
    1. Factory reset the TC.. sounds odd when it is working already .. but please do the setup with the computer that is having the most trouble.
    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.
    2. After a reset it should suddenly show up as new device.. please run the setup utility from the pro.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgenx and TCwifi. Base station and wireless names respectively.
    3. Use WPA2 Personal security only. Use pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers password.
    4. If you have issues plug in by ethernet.
    5. Set ipv6 in network preference for wireless and if used, ethernet. to link-local only.
    Tell me how this goes.. if it works in the pro you can then pick it up in the Air etc.

  • Missing Time Capsule Icon

  • MacBook is connected but Airport utility shows Time Capsule as not present

    Folks
    I get a strong signal from the Time Capsule, and internet works great, but my Airport Utility 6.2 does not show is as present.
    I'm using OS 10.8.3.  Is there some kind of updated I am missing? Same issue on both my iMac and MacBook Pro...

    Did you reboot the whole network.. ??
    Restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. Client computers. 2min gap.
    Any luck?
    If not post back and we can do some more but this is getting worse with every update.
    It works like magic.. on Snow Leopard and 7.5.2 firmware.. everythng else has been downhill.

  • New Windows Laptop Won't Show Time Capsule Base Station

    Hi
    I have a Mac system at home including a Time Capsule, which we use as our home network.  In the past my work laptop has worked just fine on this.
    I was given a new laptop and this one does not "see" my network (or apparently any networks - none show up).  My network admin suggested rebooting my wireless router - ie my Time Capsule (I guess?  I'm not very computer savvy).  He suggested just unplugging it, waiting a minute, and plugging it back in.  I believe it's running Windows 7.
    Reading on this forum it's hard to tell if this is safe or not, and I'm nervous because this is not only my wireless network but the backup of my computer.  The "reboot" options that are discussed seem to say that it will reset things, not just restart the TC.
    Can anyone help with what I should do in this situation?
    Thanks, Eric

    Load the airport utility onto the win7 computer.. hopefully it is win7.
    I think you would know if it is win8 .. but please check.. it is near impossible for us to help without exact info..

    If you have 8.1 then life may not be so easy.. lots of router do not work well including apple ones.
    My network admin suggested rebooting my wireless router - ie my Time Capsule (I guess?  I'm not very computer savvy).  He suggested just unplugging it, waiting a minute, and plugging it back in.
    I don't think that is going to help but it will do no harm.. you simply pull out the power cord.. count to 10 and plug the power cord in. Make sure the TC is not in the middle of a backup when you do it.. how do you do that.. place your hand on the TC.. you have to do that to pull out the power cord.. if it is vibrating slightly.. the hard disk is running.. and you should wait.
    Or go to any Mac computer.. go to airport utility and use the restart.. It is greyed out unless you select the TC or AE you want to restart.

  • I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem.  It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

    I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem.  If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility  it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows  Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
    Or am I completely on the wrong track.

    Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585  v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge?  Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
    If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
    Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
    BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
    Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
    And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
    By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
    Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
    Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.
