Time Capsule & Bethere UK = Not compatible?

I recently bought a 1GB time capsule and wanted to hook it up with my Bethere 24Mbit router. I plugged in the time capsule, hooked it up with a LAN cable to my Bethere router. Then I plugged in another LAN cable from the time capsule to my Macbook. Many attempts later, Airport finally found the time capsule, I configured a new wireless network, set up an SSID and a key. Right after, Airport said, that it successfully configured my time capsule but then I received a message that Airport couldn't find any wireless Apple products in range. No matter how often I clicked on "search again", it wouldn't find anything. Now what?

I'd do a factory reset of the TC and disconnect it from the router:

you shouldn't need to use an ethernet cable from macbook pro (eg. use wifi) and It should appear fairly soon after the reset.

My Time capsule location is not correct. It thinks it is in Alabama.

My Time Capsule location is not correct. It thinks it is in Alabama. It is in Tennessee.

Was the Time Capsule or your Mac ever located in Alabama?
Where are your ISP offices located?
Have you tried resetting the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then setting it up again? If yes, it may take Apple's location services servers 4-6 weeks to pick up the new location.

Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac?

Hi all - Just bought Time Capsule and do not intend to use as a router given that my Uverse router works splendidly. Can I use it just as a wireless backup to my Mac? Sorry if this is a boneheaded question, but this is my first time backing up my machine ( I know, foolish). Thanks!

Your problem will be if you use wireless for internet then you cannot do both internet and backup at once.. you still should plug the TC into the uverse router and set it in bridge mode.. you can setup wireless if you like on the TC and use either TC or uverse but you must work out how to do both at once.
If you use ethernet on the Mac then wireless to backup is also a bit of an issue.. please ask as I can show you the setup.. or visa versa.. wireless for internet and ethernet for backup..

Time capsule now does not work with Lion just installed.

Just downloaded Lion to Mac Air. Time capsule now does not work. Where is the problem?

Restart the TC.. lion is stupid.. it forgets what it is connected to with alarming frequency ... like someone suffering dementia.
If it continues to have issues, plug the TC directly to the lion computer by ethernet (if not already) and try again. Change the wireless to manual in airport utility and change the wireless name.. to force a new configuration. Once setup you can just use wireless.
In the end you may need to reset the TC.. just hold in the reset button for about 10sec. It should then become available.. a reset does not do anything to data on the hard drive but you might need to restore any passwords.

I have set up my time capsule but can not see it in finder

I have setup my time capsule, I can see it on the network and have done an initial backup, I can see it under shared devices in finder but when I open it I cannot see any files in the folder

If you have backed up your Mac using Time Machine to the Time Capsule, you would not use the Finder to see the files on the Time Capsule.
If you want to see the backups, click on the Time Machine "clock" icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen and wait a few minutes for everything to load.
Use the scale at the right of the screen to move from different recent backup times or dates. Select the time that you want and use the Finder like interface to navigate to locate a file or folder.
More info on Time Machine is available in this Apple support document:

My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

Dear all,
I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
Thanks fo your help.

Hi Larry,
Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
It's a 1 To Capacity.
Best Regards,
Clémentine
That is a bad idea
1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for you TM backup

Time capsule base station not working with Airport Express

Hi...
I have a network setup using the airport base station hat is part of my (older) time capsule. I also have an older Airport Express.
My network is working fine...and looks like the first image below. When I plug in the Airport Express and reset it...I get what you see on the second image. The thing is...the airport utility is supporting the base station just fine prior to looking for the airport. I presently have airport utility 6.3.2 and my airport base station has firmware 7.6.4.
Any help would be great....thanks!

Your express is a G wireless model and not compatible with the N wireless TC.
You can use it but only by using it with ethernet and setting it up as AP.. you also need to use 5.6 utility not v6.. apple removed support for G wireless devices from v6.
LOL..
I was 2min late.

Time Capsule wireless network not visible.

I have a first gen TC which up to today was working great.
Today it was very, very slow on the wireless side but ok on the wired side.
I restarted the cable modem and the TC, after which everything looks okay - but the wireless network is not visible to any of my devices.
I have restarted it three times, reset it to factory and reconfigured it, switched the network settings to no security and other things but my iPhone, my iPad and my MacbookPro do not see the wireless network regardless of the security option or the networking type - N-only or B/G compatible.
As I say it was fine until I returned from vacation today.
Any thoughts?

OK, so I have done this and it's made no difference. The new network Apple Network b73829 is still present alongside Wireless LAN.
I can only access Time Capsule if I switch to the new network, with the resulting loss of internet access from my Powerbook and, if I switch back to Wireless LAN I regain internet access but cannot see Time Capsule.
Although I just want to use Time Capsule to back up I have tried to connect it to my wireless LAN using the Join Existing Network on Airport Utility (even though I've been told I don't need to do this for Time Machine) but it has failed each time. After entering the password and wireless password information etc. and pressing update the Time Capsule device does re-start but there is ALWAYS an error message that says the device cannot be found and I should check that I am close to it (it's 3 feet away) or I should connect via Ethernet. If I connect via Ethernet it seems to disable the wireless functionality that I bought the device for.

How to access the hard drive in my Time Capsule via ethernet, not wireless

I have a new Netgear 802.11ac router with ethernet ports. I also have an older (4 years old) Time Capsule that I replaced with the new Netgear router. My iPhoto library was recently corrupted (long story there). I don't have a backup except on my Time Capsule. How do I access the Time Capsule's hard drive over ethernet so that I can copy the iPhoto Library off of it and onto my Thunderbolt external hard drive? It's the only chance I have to save years of photos (my iPhoto library is 258 Gb large). I don't want to do this wirelessly. I've tried using ethernet cable from the TC to my Macbook Pro and to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear router, but to no avail. I'm sure it's got to be simple but I've almost given up trying different configurations.

Plug the TC directly into the netgear by ethernet.
Then do a factory reset. This will not harm your existing backups in any way.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Connect to the TC by wireless.. this is just to do the setup..
Put the TC in bridge mode.
The TC will now appear as a client in the Netgear and should be accessible.. if not there is something else going on.. the Netgear may not be working properly with the TC. It happens.
I am not sure what equipment you have.. but if you have a thunderbolt connected hard drive.. how are you then connecting by ethernet to the Netgear.. as I understand it, unless your hard disk has a thunderbolt passthough port.. and you have tested and found the ethernet does still work with the hard disk in the chain.
There is no reason you cannot do it direct to the TC if you have enough ports. But the TC should be reset as above so it is in router mode. That is the only way you can connect to it as otherwise it is bridged.

Extra hard disk via USB time capsule (2TB) does not show in finder etc

I've found hunderds of questions that look alike but not one has solved it.
I have a Time Capsule with 2 TB hard disk. In all descriptions of the TC Apple states that an extra drive can be attached through the USB.
I did that. Wanting to create an extra network drive. I connected a (Apple formatted) WD Essential to the USB. With te newest airport configuration programm I do not see the hard drive. I do see it with version 5.6. BUT: I cannot see what is on it and so (not) select anything. I don't see it with the finder. I did do everything to make sharing possible. When connected directly to IMac it works fine. In airport I selected sharing etc etc. I don't want the disk to be used as a backup system (via Time Machine). Just an extra network disk. Please help.

I don't have a Time Capsule; I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, which is similar except for not having the built-in storage. Since your question got moved from the initial category (where you posted it) to Time Capsule, maybe someone else who has a Time Capsule will pop by with some advice. If you don't get any more replies (other than from me), you may want to summarized what you learned so far, and post a new question (in this category). New questions often get more views and responses.
With a Time Capsule, you can share the built-in hard drive as general network storage (not just for Time Machine purposes), is that correct? Does that work for you? Can you set that up using the latest version of AirPort Utility?
If you set that up, I'm guessing it would appear in a Finder window in the same way. The Time Capsule appears in the Finder window sidebar, under SHARED. When you select it, the Time Machine's built-in shared volume appears to the right, and you can mount it using whatever security settings you used. If you have an external drive attached to the Time Capsule as well, and it is set up to be shared, it appears as a second shared volume. It is still just that one Time Capsule under SHARED in the Finder window's sidebar, but to the right, there are now two shared volumes. But I don't have a Time Capsule, so I'm not sure about that...
I don't know why the latest version of AirPort Utility does not see the external drive volume? If possible, I would try another USB storage device (even if it's a 4GB thumb drive), to confirm it does work, and it's not a hardware problem on the Time Capsule's USB port.
Also, if you have not tried so far, you may want to reset your Time Capsule (to give it a fresh start).

Update time capsule, since ipod not connect wifi to time capsule

Hello,
Since I update my Time Capsule(7.5.1), I cannont connect my ipod touch to wifi time Capsule.
message ipod is : impossible de rejoindre le réseau RES_Didier
My iMac is connected, my PC Windows is connected ans my Apple TV to.
Only my ipod cannot connect.
But, if i connect my ipod to an other wifi network it is ok.
That is only with my time capsule that I cannot connect wifi!!
Do you know why ? can you help me ? (sorry my english is not very good)
Thanks
Didier

Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
Do a full factory reset of the TC..
Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
ie scan via netstat.
Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
So Go .. Connect to server.
AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
If it fails the TC could be faulty.
Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

Time Capsule internal HD not detected!

Hi guys, I've just purchased a Time Capsule 500GB, just got home and pluged it in, all the airport function works well, but I'm not able to detect the hard drive in it at all.
Isn't it suppost to be plug and play ? Maybe my unit is defective (I hope not, the Apple Store is very far from my home!!)

It pretty much is, but you do have to run Airport Utility. Check out the [TimeCapsule Setup Guide|http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TimeCapsule_SetupGuide.pdf] and see if that doesn't answer your questions.
Basically, you need to run the AirPort Utility, located in /Applications/Utilities/, to set up the Time Capsule. Good luck.

TIME CAPSULE lost JPGs (not via regular Backup) ?

Hello, a question ... (and sorry for my "bad-school-english"...) !!
I am the owner of a TIME CAPSULE (1TB) and of course i use the BACKUP (TIME MACHINE) Function.
I´ll save data/jpgs (separate not via Backup !!!) on the harddisk of the TC.
I´ll delete close to 2.000 jpgs by mistake.(stuuupid)
DATA RESCUE II & PICTURE RESCUE are only able to search missing data in usb-harddisk... but not on TIME CAPSULE ...
how can i recover the jpgs ?
any ideas ?
(i have no regular backups on TimeMachine)
Would be great to get some support !!
thanx

Hello diakpauli. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm not 100% sure, but I think your only option recover these files is to temporarily remove the TC's internal hard drive (this will void your warranty); place it in a USB/SATA drive caddy and connect it directly to your Mac. Then run your recovery utilities to attempt to retrieve these files. When done, you would reinstall the drive into the TC.
