Slow shutdown after installing time capsule. Please help

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing some troubles when restarting or shutting down my iMac Intel 8gb RAM late 2010. It takes longer than usual ( before I buy my 4th gen. Time capsule it Was very quick) and now, after I installed it I can see the grey spinning wheel and a geey blank screen for several seconds before it goes off.
Things I already tried
. reparing permissions from Lion recovery mode (some of them can not be repaired. I already tried almost everything)
. Onyx all maintenance options passed.
. Disabled time machine
. Deleted home folder preferences from terminal (revia reset password )
My iMac Is running Lion 10.7.2
I've configured my time capsule in bridge mode, with automatic backup copies
I'm sharing Time capsule disk over wan and Internet.
I've configured iCloud with back To my Mac, documents and the rest of options
Please, I need some help¡. Can you help me?
Thanks in advance,
C. Llerandi

Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

Many problems after installing Time Capsule

I am not sure if this is the correct forum. I posted it on the iCloud forum, but think it belongs here. I wasn't able to move it.
Here is my story:
Where do I start!
MacBook Pro ~2009
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
About the time I installed Time capsule, I started to have the following problem. At fist, i thought the problem as iCloud.
Here is my problem:
1. Can't get iCloud email on my Mac [I can ob my iPhone 4S]
2. I keep getting an error accessing any website: Safari can't verify the identity of the website... This includes Apple.com
3. In my Key Chain, the passwords for Me.com are long apparently random numbers.
4. I can't access any iCloud email from my iCloud that was associated with my ME account. I hahe a secondiCloud account which appears fibe.
5. I can't even open iCloud on Safari. As soon as iCloud shows up on the screen, It says that iCloud had unexpectidly stopped.When i hit the reload option, the error message returns... over and over.
6. When i tried to opem iCloud on Google Chrome, I get a HUGE error message on a red page saying "The server's certificate is no valid!"
There are probably more symptoms that occured, but I am so frustrated I may have forgotten.
Oh yeaf, a week ago I got a new Apple Time Capsile 2T
Maybe it's not iCloud?!?
EDIT: THis did not happen when I first got the TIme Capsule. It started 2 days ago. I also got a message about setting up Back To My Mac, but I only have one Mac [I don't mean that having multiple Macs is an asperation, because I am thourily pleased having "just one Mac", and an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3; That's quite a blessing!]
MacBook Pro, iOS 5.1.1

Easy like beauty when it comes to Networking is in the eye of the beholder.
Your issue is probably double NAT.. the TC should have thrown up warning messages.
On lion
Step one.. install 5.6 utility. And use that exclusively.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
It will be familiar if you used any previous version of airport utility.
Open the manual setup.. go to Internet tab.. go to connection sharing at the bottom..
The TC must be set to off bridge mode. If not, select that and update the TC.
Now everything is going to totally mess up.. don't worry.. start again by rebooting the entire network.. ie everything off.. not sleep.. not semi-consious.. off. Restart in order.. with 2 min wait.. Modem.. router.. TC.. other network rubbish.. (if you have switch and the like).. clients.
Now try again with emails etc.
I am hopeful.

Forgot partition after installing time capsule.

I installed Time Capsule on my airport.
I did not realize that I had to make a partition first, as it is now using my full 2 TB.
What should I do now as I only want 500GB to use for Time Capsule and the rest as hard disk.
Please advice next steps.
Thanks in advance

Guy,
Here is a link on how to limit the size of your TM backup.
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071108020121567
This may be a better option than creating a disk image for your data.
I think I'll try this myself with my TM backup.

Time Machine getting real-only error on 2TB Time Capsule --- Please Help

Hi,
My MacPro is running 10.6.2. I bought a 2TB Time Capsule on August 1st, 2009. The TC has been running okay, but painfully slow. On Tuesday, Nov 24th, 2009, the Time Machine reported that the TC is read-only now. I've spent 5 days, including Thanksgiving Day, researching and trying to resolve this problem. To my surprise this problem goes back several years.
I have tried all the solutions without success. I cannot afford to lose the sparse bundle on TC --- it's 1.56TB in size.
My home/office LAN includes a Linksys BEFSR81 Router, 2TB Time Capsule, an iMac G5, and my MacPro. That's all there is. The router is connect to the Internet through a Comcast Cable.
The TC was configured using the Airport Utility. The password is set at the TC level. The password is also set "Guests" (something I found in my research). Wireless is turned off because I'm using an Ethernet LAN.
Now the following is very Strange!!!
(1) Click on MacPro in the side bar. The Data disk is shown with a "lock" in the icon. It has only one permission: Everyone "No Access". I'm unable to change the permission.
(2) Click on the boot drive and make invisible files visible. Expand Volumes. Get Indo on the Data "folder". The permissions are:
everyone - read/write
don (Me) - read/write
admin - read/write
everyone - read only
There are 2 "everyone" entries!!! I can't remove either of them. I wonder if the second "everyone" is the problem?
Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this read-only problem?
Is there a bug in the firmware? My TC version is 7.4.2.
Please help!
Thank you,
Don Leckie

Disk Utility didn't report any errors. I checked the log too.
The disk "Data" in TimeCapsule can be opened using the Finder.
The sparsebundle for the MacPro can be opened and each backup folder is accessible and can be written to. But TimeMachine still says that the TimeCapsule is read-only.
The sparsebundle for the iMac G5 cannot be opened from the Finder. The error message is that I don't have sufficient privileges. Trying from both the MacPro and iMac G5. TimeMachine still says the TimeCapsule is read-only.
I tried using fsck_hfs to try fixing the permissions. But I got the message that the disk Data was not a character device; whatever that implies.
Tomorrow I'm putting a call into Apple Support.
Thank you for your help!

Unable to browse network shares after installing Time Capsule

After installing my time capsule I am no longer able to browse the other computers on my network. I can ping them just fine but when I try to see them under "shared" or to brows to the ip address, it doesn't display the other computers. It sees the Time capsule just fine. The other computers are hooked up to the time capsule as well. One Computer is windows XP based and the other is Windows Vista. When I boot into my Windows XP (via boot camp) the other computers show up just fine and I'm able to touch the shared files. Its just the mac side that is not seeing them. They are all connected via ethernet cable connection. I appreciate any help to solving this. Thanks.

Make sure that the shares are unmounted before you sleep and see if it makes a difference. Not that it's a fix, just curious on how it reacts to see what could be going on.
Another good piece of information to get is to open Terminal and do a 'df'. See if you have any volumes mounted. They'll look like //Username@IP/Share and mounted to /Volumes/Sharename or /Volumes/Sharename-XX.
Try a 'sudo umount /Volumes/Sharename' and see if it gives you any errors back or dismounts it cleanly.

Ibook G3 700mhz dual drive dead after installing 10.3 please help!

hello
this is my first apple mac and i bought a ibook g3 powerbook which is:
700mhz processor 512k level 2
128mb SDRAM + 256mb stick
20GB ultra ATA hard drive
combo drive
400mpbs firewire port
video VGA
i updated it to 10.2.4 from 10.1 and it worked absolutely great :O)
i then got a 10.3.4 disk this is when problems happened to 'narna' (my G3) i loaded disk first time i did an upgrade install and i did custom install (i didnt want printer drivers and languauges on so disabled them) about 10 mins later came up with error while installing so i quit install, restarted 'narna' and reset cd off again to upgrade....
the second time i forgot to deselect printer drivers and while installing them 'narna' froze. so i had to put power plug out to get it to restart up.
i switched back on and got a grey language screen telling me to press power button to restart. thats all i get...
i've tried option button with disk so i can select the drive from which to start it up and my drive is there with 10.3 on it with a red cross on the box. if i selct that drive to boot 'narna' up from it restarts computer and then while it loads i get the grey apple screen and then it freezes again but this time i get lots of grey/white lines across the screen...
i think thats all the information...what i'm after is there any way i can solve this etc without completely wiping my computer :O( i have the original 10.1 disks but i tried those i can get on and open OS9 on the computer and it shows my other OSX drive with 10.3 wrote next to it... but the restore disks dont seen to do anything with my computer as it just gives my same messages to restart/boot or takes me to drive then it crashes...
please please please help! i've never had an apple mac before so not sure what to do to help it....

Hi giantbutton,
A good first step after any significant crash on a mac, especially if it occurs during an installation of software etc, is to start up from your OS CD or DVD (just like you would if your were trying to install software) but to then run "DiskUtility" instead of the installer. You can access DiskUtility from the "Installer" menu on the menubar when booted from the Panther DVD.
Once Disk Utility is running select your Hard drive in the panel on the left of Disk Utility window and click on "repair disk". Disk Utility will test the drive and repair problems with its directory structures if it can.
Once the "repair disk" process is complete use the "repair permissions" process.
If the repair processes works then you can try a fresh installation of Panther. If not, then your best option is probably to wipe the drive and start from scratch on a "clean" disk.
It is always a good idea to use Disk Utility to "repair" the disk and permissions before installing any OS upgrade or major piece of software.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=162662
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25735 and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120 provide some useful information
As far as the memory requirements go, it depends a lot on what you are doing with your computer. If you are running regular "office" type software, browsing the web , etc then 384 MB should be fine for Panther, though you may not want to run too many programs simultaneously. For "heavy duty" tasks (video editing and the like) , though it would be seriously limiting.

Time Capsule please help

Hi,
I have just set up my time capsule, after quite a few drama's. It's seems to be finally working.
The only thing is that when I search the content on the TC, it shows that the storage space has been used but I can find all the info.
When i search the pictures I had on the mac no content is shown in the TC. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I have reset the TC to factory settings and set it up again?
Also I have to upgrade my operating system to install an application and I have been advised that I should do a clean install. Will I have access to the content on the TC with out restoring the info back to the mac?
Sorry abould all the questions, I am new to all this.
Thanks

When i search the pictures I had on the mac no content is shown in the TC.
If you are asking about the iPhoto library, Apple removed the feature that allows you to "browse" the backup library in Time Machine some time ago. You have to "Restore" the entire library to another destination....like your Mac's desktop....and then pick out the individual images that you need.
See this excellent support document....the pink box.....from Time Machine guru Pondini for more info on iPhoto.
http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
Sorry, I have not ever done a "clean" install when upgrading the operating system.....(this sounds more like Windows).....so cannot help on that one. If you elect to do a clean install, Time Machine will likely view your Mac as another "new" Mac and backup the entire contents of the Mac on the first backup that runs.

Cannot erase authorization. "Unable to erase authorization. Please try after some time." Please help!!

I am having a number of problems with Digital Editions, and I have tried the chat options numerous times but no one seems to be able to help me. I cannot express how disappointed I am with Adobe. I have an ebook that I paid a lot of money for and I need to access it for work, but when I try to download the e-book I get the error message E_ACT_NOT_READY. The forums say I need to deauthorise my account, but when I try to erase authorization I get the message "Unable to erase authorization. Please try after some time." This has been happening for weeks. For 2 weeks I have been trying to solve this problem. Can somebody please help me or give me a phone number to call to reach adobe? I am desperate at this point.

If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:
Mac:
1. Go-> Go to folder.
Go to folder dialog will appear.
2. Type ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions
drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
ADE will be deauthorized now.
Now Authorize ADE again.
ADE will be deauthorized now.
Now Authorize ADE again.
Windows:
Choose Start > Run.
In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.
In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
Your authorization will be deleted.
ADE will be deauthorized now.
Now Authorize ADE again.

SLOW shutdown due to Time Capsule

Ever since I've set Time Capsule as the backup volume, Logout/Shutdown is taking like 5 minutes to complete.
When I'm not connected to the network, or on a network that my Time Capsule isn't connected, everything but the desktop picture would disappear, but then it would stay in that state for about 5 minutes, and then finally shut down.
(By the way, when I'm connected to the network with Time Capsule, it would recover space on my FileVaulted home folder, perform a backup, and then shutdown as usual)
I do have FileVault turned on, which backsup the home folder on logout or shutdown... but doesn't Snow Leopard know that the Time Capsule doesn't exist?
I'm absolutely sure it's due to the Time Capsule + FileVault combination, because turning off Time Machine or choosing my old USB HD for backup doesn't cause the shutdown process to slow down.
Is there anyway around this problem?
It's quite annoying when I need to get going quickly but the Mac seems to never shutdown.

Probably not, as long as you're using FileVault. You're stuck with Time Machine trying extra hard to back up your home folder, since it can't do it while you're signed-on.
Let me ask you this: do you really need to have your entire home folder encrypted? All your preferences, settings, emails, photos, and videos? Even all your documents?
That also prevents you from browsing or restoring individual items, which is one of the main features of Time Machine.
What a number of folks do instead is make an encrypted disk image via Disk Utility, and put their sensitive documents there. Then all changes can be backed-up hourly, and individual items (except those in the encrypted disk image) can be browsed and restored from your backups.

Wifi doesn't automatically connect after installing Time Capsule

I've been having problems wifi connectivity on both of my MacBook Pros since installing a 2TB Time Capsule. They lose the wifi connection when they go to sleep/restart and I must manually select the wifi network to connect (and it takes AWHILE for it to pop up). Both are running Mountain Lion.
I know there are a lot of wifi connectivity issues out there, but I wonder if mine is different since it happened directly after installing the Time Capsule.
Also, and I'm not sure if its related, but I no longer have the Airport option in my network preferences...nor is it there when I try to "+" a new one.
Any suggestions?

I had this problem for months. My Macbook Pro wouldn't reconnect to my wifi after sleep. Eventually found the solution - for me anyway. I switched off the 5GHz frequency on my router. I have a BT router and it operates on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. Straight after I disabled 5GHz, it never had a problem reconnecting after sleep after that. Simple as that. I'll paste the link to the article I found below but this forum may remove it.

I can't set up my time capsule - please help!

I can't seem to set up my Time Capsule at all since I switched Internet providers to Virgin. Whenever I try to it says that the network password is not correct but I KNOW it is. I've tried it wired via Ethernet with the wireless turned off but still it does nothing. Has anybody got a link to an absolute fail proof guide to setting it up. I've had a Time Capsule before that worked fine.
Thanks

LaPastenague is correct in saying you need to setup the Time Capsule in bridge mode. It sounds like you are using a modem router combo.
Just get a regular ethernet cable(same as a "patch cable") and connect it from the LAN port on the modem to the WAN port on the Time Capsule. Go through the setup as normal and if it asks you to put it in bridge mode do so. (if you are using Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier it will prompt you for it. If you are using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later it will automatically put it into bridge mode if it is receiving a private ip address).
To verify bridge mode:
10.6.8 or Earlier: Airport Utility > Select Time capsule > Manaul Setup > Internet Icon Along the top > Internet Connection Tab > Connection Sharing. If it says "Share a Public IP" Switch it to Off(Bridge Mode)
10.7.5 or Later: Airport Utility > Click on the Time Capsule > In the window to the right of it click "Edit" > Network Tab > Router Mode. If it says "DHCP and NAT" switch it to Off(Bridge Mode)
Hope this simplifies things....

MacBook Pro slow shutdown after installing SSD drive

Hi,
Just got a new 256GB SSD drive and installed it in my Macbook Pro, super super fast might I add. Startup in a couple of seconds, and apps open very fast. The only problem is the shutdown time, it takes over a minute to shutdown, really strange. I've read this post;
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13097765
But this does not solve my problem. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Have you tried booting into your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting).
I don't know why an iTunes update would cause your MBP to shutdown and not turn back on. If you can't boot into your Recovery partition, try running the Apple Hardware Test (if you can - if you can't, it's time for a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP).
