Time capsual does not appear in system preferences

I have loaded the time capsual software and it appears to be working ok - the green light is solid, I have wireless internet and access to my external hard drive which is also connected to the capsual base station. However, I am trying to do my first system backup but cannot find TC is system preferences as per instructions - am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Time Capsule is a device. Time Machine is the app built into Leopard (10.5.x). TM is found under Applications -> Utilities. However, my TM icon is right on my Dock and on the upper menu bar. Have you used TM before?

  • ICloud does not appear in system preferences?

    Just bought a used macbook with OSX Lion already installed on it. The issue is that iCloud is not in the System Preferences
    and I would like to find out what I have to do to get this application to appear? Please help...

    If you have Lion, check to see the version.
    You are most likely running version 10.7.1 in which you will need to run Software Update and update your computer to version 10.7.2 to get iCloud in System Preferences.

  • TM does not appear in system preferences

    I've recently set up a TM for backing up wirelessly, this works fine with my mac book, but it does not show up in my system preferences on my I Mac with OS X 10.5.1, it is only visible on the desk top as data.
    I'm using the TM as a primary network device and all is ok in the network utility as far as the network is concerned.
    Any help would be gratefully accepted

    Upgrade to 10.5.6. At a minimum, I think you need at least 10.5.2 to use time machine with time capsule.

    When I click sharing in system preference, there is no "CDROM" to activate sharing.
    I dont see it there. what can i do?
    Please help.

    Presumably your MacBook Air is the borrower, not the computer offering the CD ROM to share.
    Anyway, here's a good tutorial guide to CD sharing for the MacBook Air:

  • Quicktime does not appear in System Preferences

    Following the instructions for OS 10.7.2:
    To install QuickTime Player 7 on OS X Lion
    Download QuickTime Player 7 from here.
    Double-click "QuickTimePlayer7.6.6_SnowLeopard".  Note: This download is compatible with Mac OS X v10.6 and OS X Lion
    QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
    I did this.
    Entered the code I purchased. Got Invalid Registration.
    What to do??

    Name and number must exactly match that found in the email confirmation. Use copy/paste to enter it.
    There is no QuickTime system Preference pane in Snow Leopard or Lion.

  • Time capsule does not appear in the finder.

    My time capsule appears in airport utility. It is ready to go. I have it on ethernet because airport isn't a very powerful wireless router. The time capsule does not appear in the finder. It does not appear in the disc utility. It does not appear in time machine. The airport utility will do factory resets, get it ready for internet, whatever. The rest of my net work can not see it.
    I have done the finder preferences. I have restarted the computer, jiggered the sharing preferences, done factory resets, tried to find sparce bundles and sparse bundles, reset the finder, force quit finder, tried to find finder plsts, trawled the discussion pages, tried to find server addresses and apple ids. Nothing seems to work.
    Time capsule never seems to work as smoothly as it supposed to. I shudder to present my problems to apple support because I know that its a long road and will probably end in tears. But here I am, naked before this disappointing edifice.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    What is the make and model number of your modem?
    I have a microwave modem on my roof. I don't think that has anything to do with this. I am not using my airport for a wireless router, only as a time capsule connected by ethernet. The Airport Utility calls my airport : Airport Extreme 802.11 ( 1st Generation )
    Is the Time Capsule acting as your main router or is another device handling those services?
    No, I have a lyncsis router. The wireless router function on airports doesn't seem to work very well. I don't think thats a problem with mine. My brothers have gone with lyncsis as well.
    Was the Time Capsule visible in the Finder before, and is now "lost", or has it never appeared in the Finder?
    It appeared on my previous laptop. That died. Now I have an imac. The airport has never appeared on the imac.
    Thanks for trying to help so quickly

  • Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

    Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
    What I did so far:
    I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
    Unzipped the basic zip.
    Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
    Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
    Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
    Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
    From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
    I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
    What am I missing?

    hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

    time machine does not appear to backup an external HD.  how do I get that included in the backup?

    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
    Go ▹ Computer
    from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section? If it's not "Mac OS Extended," Time Machine can't back up the volume.

    Airport time capsule does not appear within wi-fi networks on my OSX neither on my IOS devices, even though the backup for my OSX is on progress. why it does not appear?
    Is it because the backup on progress?

    Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
    Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..
    See
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
    Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Do a full reset and start over.
    But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
    You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
    Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
