Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station (802.11n) Firmware 7.3.2 and the Apple support website link isn't working. Does anyone have it?
Hi,
I have a Win7 Premium and a Time Capsule bought around 2009. I'm using airport utility 5.5.3 and the TC has the 7.6.1 firmware. I can both wirelessly and using the ethernet cabl connect to the network but not to the hard drive (I get the netbios error lthough netbios is enabled). I have pretty much tried ALL the solutions that have worked for many people... too many to mention... the only thing that many people have claimed worked for the (albeit the posts are a bit old) is to revert to the 7.3.2 firmware which I cannot find.
http://www.apple.com/support/?artnum=305301 brings me to the default support page for apple products, so no joy there. this is causing my hair to go prematurely gray.
I am willing to try almost any solution you guys may suggest, but in addition: does anyone know where the 7.3.2 firmware can be found?
I don't need a book corner as I read most books in e-format...
thanks in advance.
Model# A1302
When I do the "firmware update" I have no options except:
other
as a former IT, I have exhausted all options I think except for rolling back the firmware.
The apple site isn't down but the page: http://www.apple.com/support/?artnum=305301
which has the link for the 7.3.2 firmware takes me to the default support page.
On another note (for anyone who has run into this problem and recognizes the symptom), when I submit the password on the apple popup that says "network disc detected, enter password" the pop up pauses for a good minute (not responding) before the #53 error with the netbios comes on. I have also turned off the McAfee firewall and tested it... no joy.
Thanks for your help in advance

Power USB Hub - powers the Airport Base Station (802.11n)?
I have a powered USB hub hooked up to my new AE. If I pull the power plug for the AE, the unit remains partially powered via the USB port (my hub). It won't power down until I also remove the USB plug into the AE.
Anybody else seen this? Is this normal? Is this an AE problem? Is this a problem with my USB hub?By partially powered I mean, when I unplug the AE, the light on the front remains on but flashing. Why would I unplug it? Because I want to reboot it because my cable modem dropped the connection and I could not get the connection back. I attempted to power down the cable modem and router but I left the printer, HD's, and the USB hub powered up.

Is a very hot AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n normal?
Is a very hot AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n normal?
W.W.Warm, yes
If it's uncomfortable to the touch, no.
Makes sure the device has plenty of air all around and that it does not have anything on top of it.
It's still hot, then you should contact Apple for a replacment. -
My iMac will not connect to time capsule used as base station in my roaming network
I have a network that is made of up a Time capsule as a base station and 3 airport express's used to extend my wifi coverage. It is setup as a roaming network with each express hardwired to the base time capsule. I have a iMac that will not connect to the base station, it will only connect to one of the remote express's. The iMac is next to the base satation. Other mac notebooks, iPhone or iPads all connect to the base station when they are near it. Only my iMac will not connect to it. Any suggestions as to why this is happening or steps I can take to fix this.
Hello FoxFamilyVA
Check out the first article below to go through some troubleshooting options to get your iMac to connect to your Time Capsule. I would go through and remove it from the list of known networks that you join and then add it back in. I would also recommend that you try and create a new Network Location to see if there is an issue with your current configuration.

I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???
I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
Hi there. I just bought a new iMac. Used to have a pc. Plugged my nano into iMac and it transferred my purchases fine. Bought a new album on i tunes and it will not download to my nano. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated. Thanks.
You may not have the iPod's Music tab set up in iTunes, which is how you tell iTunes how to automatically sync your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there.
To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked. Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab. For example, you can make a playlist in iTunes with all the songs you want on the iPod. That new album needs to be on that playlist, if you want those songs synced to the iPod. On the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs sync to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
Therefore, if you create a playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs), and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity. -
I just downloaded iOS 6 to my iPhone 4 and all-of-sudden, the camera on the back of my phone isn't working. Anyone know how to fix this?
The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online? -
I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?
On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis. Whereas on my mac
mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
to do anything.
In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing. I run a
small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
to their respective folders. On my laptop when I open up an email from my
scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
paperclip symbol. However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Jonathan McAllister -

Started using my Time Capsule as a base station; now Time Machine won't work
Dear community,
I had been using my Time Capsule just for Time Machine backups, but I recently switched to using it as an internet base station as well. Now I can connect to internet via Wi-Fi, but Time Machine no longer works (it throws a "backup disk cannot be found" error). I assume this is related to the fact that the name of my Wi-Fi network differs from the name that my Time Machine used to have back when it was only my backup disk. Does anyone have any ideas for how to get Time Machine working again, hopefully without losing all my backup history? Thanks for your help.
I am using a Time Capsule (circa 2012) and a late-2011 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.3.This is just typical Mavericks behaviour.
You must find the hard disk for it. Poor Mavericks cannot find its own tail let alone a network device as complex as a hard disk.
Does anyone have any ideas for how to get Time Machine working again, hopefully without losing all my backup history?
Let me say, that killing your backups is harder than simple resets or changing functions. In fact the only way to wreck the backups is erase them deliberately from airport utility, or have TM working over a faulty link and corrupt them.
The issue is simply that the hard disk is lost. And Bo Peep doesn't know where to find it.
Step in and mount the hard disk manually.
In Finder.. use Go, Connect to server.
Type in AFP://TCname.local
Where TCname is the actual network name of the TC. (Hopefully you are now using short names with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. in which case network name = name. If not then you need to translate the name to the network name.
So Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule which you name it in the utility comes out.
fred_blogs_airport_time_capsule as network name. Spaces and apostrophe are illegal.
Let me encourage you to go back to the airport utility and rename the TC something sensible like TCgen4 (it is a gen4) and use TCwifi for the wireless name. Then the network name is at least something like the actual name.
So in my case I would type in AFP://TCgen4.local
Local is the default domain and using it can also help.
The caps are irrelevant.
The other and better way of doing it in Mavericks is use IP address of the TC if it is static. ie if the TC is main router it will have IP 10.0.1.1 by default.
Then you type AFP://10.0.1.1
You will be asked for the password.. type that in and keep it in your keychain.
(BTW you can discover the actual names of everything via the netstat scan from network utilities. In Mavericks Network Utilities has gone walkabout, so you will need to search for it in finder). You should see the actual network names of everything listed here. Along with MAC address and other info.
Now you can reset TM and point it at the TC disk which is already open in finder.
See info on TM reset here.
A4 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Please note when TM starts up it will show it is going to do a full backup.. this will not happen. It will discover the existing backup and then simply do incremental. (I hope!!) Nowadays with Mavericks nothing can be certain.
Good Luck.. !
Sorry I have made it over complicated.. Early morning here and not suitably caffeinated yet.

How to connect my new Time Capsule and new Apple TV to my Airport Extreme?
Hello, I just moved into a new apartment with one DSL outlet for internet from the kitchen. I set up an Airport Extreme in the kitchen without a problem. But I don't know how to set up the TIme Capsule in my home office and the Apple TV in my living room? Can someone help me? Thank you very much!
RayI would try to connect the Extreme and the TC by ethernet for a more reliable and faster network. The secondary router must be in bridge mode, use Airport Utility "manual" to set that up.
Once your network is tested by yourself and reliable then power up ATV and use the remote to go to setting. Assuming you have a main computer with your itunes library setup and launched without sleeping then go to ATV settings/computers and point to your computer which has your library. ATV should give you a 5 digit code. Enter this in your itunes column on lefthand side, its self explanatory assuming in itunes preferences you have checked under ATV "look for ATV." -
Time Capsule and the rest of the network
I have today installed my Time Capsule and I am not sure that I have configured everything in the optimum way. Everything works so far and it's backing up via Time Machine etc.
the thing is, in my office we have PC's and 1 Mac (mine). We have a network and a wireless access point. Everything is connected to a switch. So, I have connected a LAN cable in the WAN port of my Time Capsule (TC). The other end goes to the Switch. The DSL modem is connected to the same switch. My MacBook Pro (MBP) was previously connected to the WLAN router that is also connected to the same switch.
Now I am not sure how things are interacting. What I want is for my MBP to connect wirelessly with my PC that goes out on the internet over the DSL modem via the Switch.
When I click on my AirPort icon on the top of the screen it seems that I am still connected to the old WLAN.
I am also not sure if I should connect my LAN cable to the WAN port of the TC or one of the Ethernet ports.
Here's how I'd like it to work:
The DSL modem goes to the Switch. To the switch is connected a whole bunch of PC's, plus 1 wireless router and the TimeCapsule. The TC connects wirelessly with my MBP. I don't want the MBP to connect to the old wireless router any more.
I hope this is not too confusing. Btw, I never had to put in my key for the existing WLAN when I installed the TC. I am not sure how the TC connects to the internet.
Does anyone know how I can verify over MobileMe if the TC is connected to it?
Message was edited by: philmarriottYes, you are right. There is a router between the switch and the modem. I forgot about that. The router also provides the WLAN here in the office.
After some investigation I found that when I select "create network" in the Time Capsule settings there is a second WLAN network created in parallel with the one we already have. The problem was that these 2 WLAN's had the same name. After changing the name of the WLAN from the TC I was able to distinguish them.
I couldn't find any information anywhere on how to use the WAN/LAN ports on the TC so I had to call Apple care to find out.
Another question if someone knows - how access the TC from the Internet? I have MobileMe and I have put in my username and password. Suppose that I go to a remote place in the world and find that I need a file on my TC. I connect my MacBook to the Internet and.......then? How access the TC?
