Time Capsule appears twice in Airport drop down menu

Menu Bar > Airport drop-down menu: My Time Capsule's wireless name shows up twice in my list of wifi sources. Once in the group with all the other routers and again in a group called "Devices".
Long story short…
I start with a perfectly functional, WPA/WPA2 password-protected Time Capsule: Over a year old. Two MbP's using it for Time Machine backup. Connected to a 1.5TB MyBook external HD via usb. Doubles as my wifi router. Everything's connected to it, including my wifi-enabled printer. Works great. No issues.
I get this idea in my head that I need to hide my wifi signal. I figure it out and ¡Viola! Hidden. Then I try to add my wifi-enabled printer to the list of allowed devices in "Access Control". I hit a big snag and can't figure out how to get it to connect (btw, don't buy a Brother printer. Pure crap). So, I give up and revert permissions back to visible, password-protected state.
Skipping irrelevant issues that I already resolved, I now have the wireless name of my Time Capsule appearing twice in the airport drop down menu. It appears with all the other wifi sources my machine detects AND appears at the bottom under a new category called "Devices".
All I want is to have things back the way they were and this anomaly in the drop down menu is a constant reminder that I #1 failed and #2 bought a crap printer.
(Long story long, I guess. Sorry.) How do I delete this "Devices" group from the airport drop down menu?

  • Time capsule appears twice on time machine

    Hi, since a few days my time machine keeps getting confused because time capsule appears twice. It is the same time capsule and the same backup data but occasionally time machine postpones the backup because it can not connect to the disk. When I hover my pointer over these two icons I see the addresses: The top one appears as afp://xxxx-xxxxx-Time-Capsule.local/Data whine the bottom one (with the wifi icon) appears as afp://xxxx%20;AUTH=SPRxxx%20xxxx%20Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Data. Time machine behavior is erratic, sometimes it refuses to connect to the second instance while in other times it does. And this happens also with another Mac backing up on the same time capsule. Any ideas?

    Yes please relocate to 10.9 I did not pay attention to the OS version. Now I am using an Apple Time capsule over my home network as I am backing two Macs in it and it has been working flawlessly for almost two years. Having said that it is now working fine switching from one to the other instance (no clue of what drives the selection, I made these two screen captures at a few seconds interval as I was writing this post)
    As you can see the "available" disks has changed.
    I went back to Time Machine Buddy and pulled up one of the failure reports:
    couldn't determine volume-uuid of mount point: /Volumes/Data-1, error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 "The file “Data-1” doesn’t exist." UserInfo=0x7fdd42714030 {NSURL=file:///Volumes/Data-1, NSFilePath=/Volumes/Data-1}
    Failed to get UUID for destination: /Volumes/Data-1
    [SnapshotUtilities volumeRefForPath:] FSPathMakeRef failed and returned OSStatus: -43 for path /Volumes/Data-1
    Backup failed because the network destination disk was ejected or disconnected unexpectedly!
    Backup failed with error 26: The connection to the server was interrupted.

  • My unsorted bookmarks folder does not appear in the bookmarks drop down menu.

    My unsorted bookmarks folder does not appear in the bookmarks drop down menu. I can only reach it though Organize Bookmarks function. How do I get it into the bookmarks tree?

  • A box with a blue outline appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. I can't get rid of it, and it obstructs the view of the bookmarks as I scroll up or down. Help!

    I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!

  • Airport drop-down menu greyed out

    On my MacBook, the drop-down menu that appears when the Airport menu bar icon is clicked has greyed out. Although the MacBook joins my primary network just fine, I cannot choose my secondary network (second base station), even though it is listed. All action choices like "join other network", etc. are also greyed out and cannot be chosen.
    I've rebooted, cycled Airport on/off/on, checked settings in Sys Prefs -> Network, etc. I've checked the Airport Extreme Base configuration using Airport Admin utility. This is a new problem, no known changes to system or applications other than installing Apple software updates as issued with a 2 week delay in case there's an update problem.
    My Mini shows the drop-down Airport menu normally, and I can choose/join both my primary and secondary networks. Same software status as the MacBook - no new apps, all Apple updates after 2 week delay.
    Any ideas for how to get my MacBook to un-grey the Airport menu items? Thanks!

    Closing this question out, the MacBook reverted to normal behavior sometime since I posted the problem and this post. No clue why.

  • How can I get the airport drop down menu to allow me to enter a WPA2 Personal Password

    Powerbook G4, with Airport Card firmware 9.52. Through the System Preferences, Network, using the "edit" button, I can enter a WPA2 Personal password, but when I go to connect to the network, the drop down menu only allows me to enter a WEP Password.  And, obviously, I get an error message saying I have the wrong password. Why can I use WPA2 in the system preferences, but the airport menu doesn't then allow me to enter a WPA2 password to connect?

    Try Connect to Other... from the Airport menu.

  • Is there a way to get Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down?

    HI,
    I was wondering if there might be a way to get a direct link to Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down menu along with the other choices?

    I would think you'd just need to select the Adobe Application you're using... whichever that one is, then the APP would know what to do with RAW.
    What are they set for now?

  • Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE

    I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above
    a Flash drop down menu in IE6 & IE7 but it works fine in

    fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is
    http://us.shuttle.com/performance.aspx
    I’ve tried adding “WMODE” to my flash menu,
    also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –
    pre-release 1.6”, but neither way is
    helping…….

    Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
    tried:
    .TabbedPanels {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    float: left;
    clear: none;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 1000;
    I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
    attached css, but still not working.

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks
    phil

    I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

  • Drop Down Menu - Response Time

    I am experiencing a slow response time with the drop down menus in FCP 7.0.3.
    I experienced this with my old Mac Pro Intel (1st Gen.) but now I have a new 8-core Mac Pro (1 month old) and have the same delay.
    I click in the window I need to activate then I click on a drop down menu and it seems like it may take up to 5 seconds for the menu to open. Changing tools with the keyboard or tool bar is no problem.
    Any idea how can I solve this?
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Are you running any other programs at the same time?  Do you have any OS "enhancements" installed? 
    Try disconnecting from the interenet by either unplugging ethernet or turning the airport off.
    Try deleting fcp preferences

    You likely first configured the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" using wireless only, correct?
    If yes, you cannot then connect the AirPort Express using Ethernet....that will crash your network.
    The Express must be configured to "create a wireless network".  AirPort Utility will do this for you automatically, but you will first need to perform a Factory Default Reset or Hard Reset on the AirPort Express and then start over with the configuration again.
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the Express before you open AirPort Utility. Post back if you need more tips on how to set this up.

  • Time Capsule...drag and drop??

    It was my understanding that when the time capsule is set up wirelessly I should be able to drag and drop any files onto it and use it just like I would a wired external hard drive. It backs up my mac just fine through time machine but when I want to manage folders and photos in my own way on the time capsule it doesn't allow me. I am new to mac so maybe I am just clueless but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Open your hard drive and look to see if your Time Capsule appears under the SHARED heading on the left of the pane.
    If so, click the TC to show a TC folder to the right. Double click this folder.
    Click the gear icon just above the window and select New Folder.
    You can rename this folder and drop files into it. Create other folders as needed.

  • Help! Time Capsule set up help: Airport Utility not cooperating

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm desperate for help with this issue. I have a Time Capsule, Base Station and Airport Express (all previous generation)at different points throughout the house. At first the issue was with the base station that refused to find my network so I called the helpdesk and got it fixed and all was well until the next day when the Time Capsule and Airport Express began to malfunction.
    While everything connected to the network fine, our iphones couldn't find the network while downstairs. I tried to fix the issue but then I realized that while the base station wireless mode said 'extend network' the time capsule and airport express wireless mode said 'join network.'
    I believed I overdid it on hitting the time capsule's reset button for a soft reset one too many times and now the slow flicker amber light will not steady itself or move to green and the computer is unable to successfully attach itself to our network. I've tried to restore the factory default settings but this only results in an error message 'there was an error trying to detect apple wireless devices, make sure network connection is valid and try again.'
    All computers and phones have been updated with current firmwares etc. At this point, I'm stressed because I rely heavily on the internet for school and research and I don't know what else to do. Should I do a hard reset or just contact apple support?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Please identify the "Base Station". Do you mean an AirPort Extreme Base Station? Are all those 802.11n-capable devices?
    the base station wireless mode said 'extend network' the time capsule and airport express wireless mode said 'join network.'
    That suggests to me that none of those devices is your "primary" router. If that's the case, what is the brand and model of the device that's connected to your Internet feed or Internet modem?

    What does AirPort Utility say about the status of the Time Capsule? (If you have trouble connecting to the Time Capsule with AirPort Utility, try plugging an Ethernet cable from a LAN port of the Time Capsule to the Ethernet port of your MacBook Pro.)

    Did you do that reset by holding in the reset button until the status light flashed rapidly several times? Normally after a reset, you have to select the network for that device (usually named in the form "Apple Network xxxxxx") for AirPort Utility to "see" it. That's why an Ethernet cable can be useful.
