Since I updated to my new 1TB Time Capsule, my HP printer can't find my network

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600. I had no trouble connecting it to my network on my old Time Capsule. Since updating to my new 1TB Time Capsule, my printer can't find my network.
Any ideas on what's the problem here?? Sure would like to be able to print off my iPad like I used to be able to do...
Thanks in advance...cheryl

I am a bit confused.. the new TC is 2TB or 3TB disk .. there is no 1TB model sold..
If your printer is setup by wireless you will need to redo the setup from scratch.
I am not sure how you are running it.. but if you are using airprint from ipad then it has to be wireless. Then I strongly recommend you redo the setup of the TC to have short wireless name.. eg TCwifi and then setup the printer via WPS in the airport utility.

New 1TB Time Capsule - Only 929 GB?

I know it's common for hard drives to have a bit less space than advertised, but the new Time Capsule I just purchased began fresh with only 929 GB of memory - 71 GB short of a TB.
That's quite a difference, even for a drive this large.
Bottom line: is this normal or should I contact Apple?
Thanks for any advice.

Also there is this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419?viewlocale=en_US
Also the problem occurs because ISO has accepted a standard which does drop you from actual formatted space when you deal with hard drives. I can't say why or how this happened, but it did.

New 1TB Time Capsule Not Showing Up

Just bought a Time Capsule, using it with a Comcast modem. When I open Airport Utilities it doesn't show up during scans for wireless devices.
I've plugged it in, then connected the ethernet cable to the WAN port, connected WAN first then plugged it in, plugged it in and reset it during power-on, reset after powered on.
It DID show up once: I reset it as a plugged it in but got the flashing amber light, so I powered it down and powered it back on, all the while with the ethernet cable connected. The green light came on, so I opened Airport Utilities. The TC showed up, but when I clicked setup it failed to connect. After that it wouldn't show up in scans anymore.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions!
Suggest you do a factory default reset and reconfigure the device as follows:
Power down the TC
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the power back in
Release the reset button after approximately 10 seconds
Connect the ethernet cable from your modem to the WAN port
Also, connect another ethernet cable directly from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC. This should help AirPort Utility "see" the device.
Restart both the TC and your computer
Open AirPort Utility to see if you can configure it now.

Since I updated my I phone to iOS 6.0.1 I can't find the movies that I have on my phone, my tv shows are in videos but not my movies, where are they?

I have always had movies on my I phone, I used to find them in music then in videos, since my last update I now have music folder and video folder, only my tv shows are in the video section & I can't find my movies anywhere

I have good news!! I was waiting until I had adequate time to try this recommended fix in case I had any problems with it. Then I decided to enter a new event in my Calender even tho it was showing "No Calenders". As soon as I entered the new event my whole Calender came back! Yeeaaa! I hope this helps someone with the same problem.

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

You haven't mentioned any steps you might have tried to correct this so I'll suggest you try the first troubleshooting step. Reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

1TB Time Capsule taking days for backup of 2GB

So, I know this may be an absolutely idiotic question, but I'll ask it anyway. I have a 1TB Time Capsule that is less than a year old. I've been able to perform initial backups of large amounts in the past pretty decently, but a few months ago, I quit backing up to it, but left all of the data there. I recently found out that the hard drive on my first Macbook Pro (also less than a year old) is dying, and I'm trying to put all of the essentials on the Time Capsule so the backup will be there. The essentials total to about 2.4 GB, and I have waited two days, not doing anything on or to the computer and it has gotten to only 14 MB, not to mention it took hours to just "Prepare". I have the latest firmware and all of the most recent (as of 4 July 2009) updates. This seems a bit off to me, and I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything wrong, so I can send it in before my warranty expires on the 29th. I've already gotten the short end of the stick as the warranty for my laptop was expired less than one week ago, meaning I'm going to have to pay for installation and a new hard drive, and I don't want to get short ended like that again. Do ya'll think there could be an actual problem here, or could it just be something on my end? If so, what could it be? Thanks in advance for any help ya'll can give.

Two things to try.
First off... before you try and backup from the MacBook Pro to the TC, delete the original backup from the TC.
Secondly, the problem might be due to the fact that since the MacBook Pro hard drive is failing, the system is taking a long time in retrying to read data blocks off the disk. One way to check this would be to use Carbon Copy cloner or similar to take a backup image of the MacBook Pro hard drive onto the TC.

New 2TB Time Capsule: solid amber light, but TC working well...what's wrong?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me...thanks in advance for reading through this question!
I have a brand new 2TB Time Capsule, using it with the AT&T U-verse modem/router 3801 HGV.
After much consternation, I finally got the TC set up in bridge mode with the U-verse router.
The TV, phone, and internet are all working well through AT&T...and my wireless internet
connection through the TC is working great as well. Also, the TC is performing the first
back up of my MacBook Pro hard drive. Everything seems to be working great, I think.
However, I have some questions that I feel need to be addressed:
1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green. When I check the connections in the Airport
Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
Solid amber indicates that the "Time Capsule is completing its start-up sequence". I would expect
the start-up sequence to be completed long ago and the light to be green...and I can't find anything
wrong.
Any ideas as to why the light on the TC could be solid amber??
2- What should I do to get the light to be green??
3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be. I have about 190GB of data
to back up. I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up. It looks like the
speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
Is that a fairly "normal" speed?? I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
mode. To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
tab in the Airport Utility?? The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
Does the TC "add" a new wireless network when I add new data in those fields...and SAVE the
original "home" network I created?? Just making sure!
Thanks to those who reply!

1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green. When I check the connections in the Airport Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
That is weird.. most TC I look at solid AMBER means the hard disk is dead. Not sure but since it is working it is no biggie.. there is some control over how the led functions.. but I doubt you can set the color different.
In other words.. not a clue.. if the TC is new take it to the genius and show them.. that is not the way it is supposed to work.
3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be. I have about 190GB of data

Over wireless expect slow.. you did not state wireless or wired.. but those look like reasonable wireless speed. your files will load at different speed.. small files are slow.. larger files much faster.. it takes time to write the tables for many smaller files.
We always recommend first backup over ethernet.. even if the TC is pulled out of the network.

Guest network is removed as an option in bridge mode.. just use the uverse modem wireless for guest.

Migrating to a new iMac, Time Capsule and external drive involved.

The family has gotten a lot of use out of the good old 2.16 iMac Core 2 Duo but it was time to upgrade. So now we have a 27” 3.2 iMac, 2x 4Gb, 1Tb of storage to migrate to.
The mess is this...
There are 4 users on the old iMac.
The old iMac is full to the brim, no room left on the HDD.
Some time ago I hooked it up to a WD 500GB external drive and moved each users music to the WD. In addition I moved the iPhoto libraries to the WD too.
Now it’s time to migrate and I’m not sure where to start. I do know where I want to end up though.
I want to move all the information that is spread across the old iMac HDD and the WD external drive to the new iMac...consolidate it back. To back things up I have a new 3Tb Time Capsule which will also wirelessly back up a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air. For additional back up I also have a 2Tb G Tech external drive.
My thoughts are these.
Use the G Tech as a temporary bridge. Partition the drive, and back up the iMac to one side and the WD external to the other.
Then migrate the old iMac to the new iMac.
Then from the G Tech move the iPhoto libraries and the iTunes to the new iMac.
Questions I have:
There is a back up of the old iMac on the WD external that may have important information not stored on the old iMac internal drive. Is there a way to merge the files and keep the newest information and dump the redundant?
How do I ensure that my iPhoto libraries don’t get messed up? It seems that when even installing updates that now and then some thumbnails disappear.
How do I partition the Time Capsule for multiple machines?
What is the best use for the G Tech? Storage of photos and music or redundant back up of the Time Capsule?
I’m sure my post will generate as many questions as answers so I’ll stop here and see what shakes out. Thanks in advance for the input and responses.

I'm ready to use Setup Assistant now but connectivity may be an issue. Pondini's recommends Firewire. The issue is I don't have a FW400-FW800 cable. USB is all I have that is common to all my devices. Is that even a consideration? Ethernet is an option between the two iMacs but Pondini seems to elude to Migration Assitant over Setup Assistant when using that connection. Am I confused on that issue?

NETGEAR DM111PSP ADSL 2 router and a 1TB Time Capsule

I have a NETGEAR DM111PSP ADSL+2 router and a 1TB Time Capsule. I continue to get a Double NAT status in the airport utility. how do I need to configure the TC? Tnx, Q

The TC needs to be configured in Bridge Mode since you already have another router "upstream" on the network.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the the TC icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the page
Insure that Router Mode is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"

How to connect New Airport Time Capsule to non Apple asdl router

Guys,
I have just purchased a new AirPort Time Capsule to back up the various macs in my house. I want to connect it to my wireless router which is a non apple product but the setup instructions are a little unclear to me.
My current router has simply a phone line connector and the power source coming into it. Do I simply connect an ethernet cable from the Airport to the Router. And if so, do I use the single Ethernet WAN port or one of the three Ethernet LAN ports on the rear of the airport? I assume the other end of the cable goes into any of the Ethernet slots on the back of my router which are marked 'Ethernet', or would it go into the socket marked 'Broadband WAN'?
Appreciate your help and if anyone is willing to speak on phone, I am very ahppy to call you in the next couple of hours! I am in the UK
Best, Anthony

thanks LaPastengue!
Here is what ive got
What ATT router do you have? Exact make and model please.
    gateway 2wire from at&t
What TC do you have.. Latest AC tall one?? Or older one?? If older. .please tell us the model number. A1409 for example from the base mat.
     yes I have the latest airport time capsule 2TB
Please tell us the full setup.. what is currently plugged into the main modem router??
     The Main modem route has an ethernet cord plugged in the other side of the cord is plugged into the phone      jack
Do not plug the TC in first.. plug a single ethernet TC to the computer.. Hmm. so I need an additional ethenet cord to plug the TC into the computer? Leaving the router plugged in as is?
Open the airport utility and change the TC to bridge mode.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-23706673-32722 6/450-411/bridgev6AU.png
Update the TC and then plug it into the ATT modem and plug it into your computer or use the wireless and then tell us what happens.

Sharing a 74 GB Iphoto11 file with 3 MACs in the house+an 1TB Time Capsule

Hi. I run the Iphoto 11 and my 74 GB file from my MacBook Pro. But when I am in the office my wife and child cannot work neither import fotos to Iphoto. We have an IMac and a Macbook Air as well. I would like to place the Iphoto file on the our 1TB Time Capsule which we use as a network storage drive (is not used for backup). Please give me a god advice how to solve the issue

This is a pretty easy setup.
Basically just plug the new TC WAN port into the old TC LAN port.
Run the airport utility on the computer and it should recognise that the new TC is plugged into another one.. and setup bridge mode and create a wireless network.. if not you can jump in and edit it at the end of the setup.
You could also swap things around with the new TC as the main router.. and the old one as the secondary.. but people are experiencing some issues with WAN connection to some cable modems.. so you need to be prepared if you have issues to go back to the original setup.
You will use an ethernet patch cable to connect them. I recommend if you have them in the same area place them at least a couple of meters apart.. so buy a 2-3M patch cable at least.. (8-9ft). Even better would be to install the new TC closer to the clients that will use it.. to improve wireless in dark corners of your house.. but all that can come later.
My 2nd question is: Can I move several 100 GB of old data that I rarely use onto the 3TB TC so that I could access the data from either computer whenever I need it, without having the data on either computer?
This is a lot harder question.. not in how to do it.. it is simple.. copy and paste files onto the new TC.. that is not the issue..
The problem is backup of the files that no longer exist on the computers. Ironically the TC is problematic for one major reason.. it cannot back itself up.. nor can Time Machine (TM) backup network drives. Even though TM uses the TC to store the backup it cannot actually work to backup the TC. The problems are not insurmountable.. you can use a third party backup.. eg CCC but it will be extremely slow. A better strategy if one of your computers is a desktop is to install an external drive and share it to the network. The data rate will be hugely better.. and TM can backup as per normal.

Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?

New ISP, Time Capsule No Longer Works - help!

OK, today, I changed ISP with a new router.
Everything was going OK, all iOS devices, all wi-fi printers, Apple TV, and Airport Express all connected and worked fine. The only issue is my Time Capsule. I just can't get it to work.
It was setup to 'Join An Existing Wi-fi Network' and everything used to be fine with my TM backups going to it.
Now, Airport Utility (6.2) won't see it at all over wi-fi, and if I connect to the router via ethernet, AU sees it. I tried to change the configuration, but there is no 'Connect to an Existing Wi-fi network' available, just 'create new' or 'extend existing'.
Even if I try either of these options, it doesn't work. After a couple of minutes, I get a 'an error occurred when trying to update the configuration' message.
I have tried holding in the reset button, but to no avail.
Can anyone help? I'm on 10.8, by the way.

Join a wireless network is not in v6 utility.. thanks so much apple.. you are a great help.
Mind you .. we do not recommend at any time using "join a wireless network".. it is slow and likely to cause issues at some point with corrupting the backup.
The best idea is to install v5.6 utility on your Mac.. this can be done.. google for various methods.. here is mine which is free.. others use a tool you have to pay for.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
If you want to do the job correctly though.. start from a factory reset.
To do this hold in reset button and then power on.. keep holding in reset without releasing for about 10sec until the front led flashes rapidly.
Do all setups using ethernet. I recommend you bridge the TC and use roaming setup for wireless. It works very well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
Even if you mix with a non-apple router, you simply create a wireless network on the TC.
Exactly the same name (SSID) as the main router .. same security WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES and is the only suitable security nowadays.
Same password for wireless. 8-12 characters is enough .. up to 20 if paranoid. pure alphanumeric.
The only thing different is wireless channels. Set them both to auto may work or maybe chaos.
At 2.4ghz there are only three non-overlapping channels.. make sure the main router is set to 20mhz only.. and use one of the channels, 1, 6, 11. Then set the TC to one remaining.
5ghz in the TC use lower channels.. 36, 38, 40 etc work much better than 150's
So in your real utility it looks like this.

Since I updated to my new 1TB Time Capsule, my HP printer can't find my network
