Time Capsule - can no longer access on MBP Leopard

For the past 6 or 7 weeks I can no longer access my Time Capsule from my MBP Leopard. However, I do not beleive this is a Time Capsule issue as I am still accessing (and backing up) successfully from a MBP running Snow Leopard. Note, the access and backup were running fine for over a year and suddenly just stopped working. I've done the basics like repair permissions, software update, checked everything. For soem reason, when I try to access, I can see the Time Capsule, I can connect until I get to Data then "mylaptop Sparse Bundle". When I choose that disk image backup - just continues for ever and ever with a dialog box that says "trying to connect" or something like that.
Any ideas appreciated ...
thanks

Has this Mac had any problems since the last successful backup? Such as hardware repairs, especially a new logic board? A full restore?
Is the +sparse bundle+ currently mounted? If so, eject it and try again.
If not, or if that doesn't help, try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 of Troubleshooting.
Interesting to note that the final backup (7 weeks ago) failed - it looked like hourly backups worked and the final one failed ("says in progress" ?)
Yes, that's the partial, failed backup. Since it's incomplete, it won't appear in the "Star Wars" display, etc. Once Time Machine gets started, it will "recover" it, and convert it into a normal backup, with a new date & Time.
After that long without a backup, Time Machine will have a lot of work to do (including recovering the partial backup), so connect via Ethernet if at all possible. It will still take a while, but be 2-3 times faster than WIFI.

Firefox updated me 3 times in 10 days. each time i can no longer access my emails nor can i change the password. only through the techs end could this be done. it has happened again . what's up?

why atre you updating me without my permission? why can't i access my emails or change my account password without outside help?

The "Photos" view has been replaced by the Media Browser.
Most applications will show you the Photos icon in the Sidebar, when you need to select photos in a file chooser dialoge. Mail, Safari, the iWork apps. See Terence Devlin's User Tip: How to Access Files in iPhoto
For example, in the File > Open dialogue in Preview I am seeing this in the sidebar.

HT3275 Time Capsule can no longer delete oldest files

My Time Machine/Capsule always used to delete the oldest files to make room when the Capsule needed more space. Recently it has stopped doing this and only gives me the options to 'change to a larger drive' or 'delete some file to make room'.
Could the problem be because I've recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8?
Please advise me what I can do.

Yes, when you update the OS it cannot auto delete old files.. Good to see you are updating from 4th to 3rd last OS version.. I think some people consider the latest greatest OS to be essential. whereas on older computer the older OS may be better.
You can do exactly what is suggested.. buy a new external drive and use that.. External drive plugged into the iMac is no problem and much faster and better than TC.
Or you can plug the USB into the TC and archive the old backups if you want to keep them.. erase the drive of the TC then start again. A clean new backup is a good idea anyway.

TimeMachine Confused: Can no longer access my external hard disk

Suddenly this morning after 3 days of use time machine can no longer access my external USB 2.0 disk. It states failed to access disk. Although I can access the disk fine via the finder. In the preferences I try to reselect the disk but its not listed. I tried rebooting and it still can't see my usb disk, although again the finder can access it fine.
HELP!

The same thing had happened to me with my new USB2 drive. I found [this fix|http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/leopard-disk-utility-format-issue-screws-w ith-time-machine-but-theres-an-easy-fix-316573.php] on another thread and it worked for me (so far).
Before the fix, Disk Utility showed my USB drive partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but it showed the volume still as FAT32.
I certainly don't know if this was the problem, but my drive would only randomly work with TM or the Finder. After the fix, at least for the last 12 hours, the drive has worked correctly with both.

Can no longer access songs on iTunes on Time Capsule

Not sure what's gone wrong here. A month ago, I moved my whole iTunes library (60GB) to my Time Capsule. Have been playing all my music fine since then. Till today. Suddenly, everything's gone haywire. Only a random fraction of the songs and podcasts now appear in the iTunes screen. The whole library is still there on the Time Capsule; it's just inaccessible.
I have tried to reconnect to the library several times by restarting iTunes and holding down Option. It seems to connect but I'm still only have a few songs.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

No, the Time Capsule is a long way from full. I have the 3TB version and am barely using 500 GB.
I also have the iTunes library backed up to a Lacie hard-drive just in case.
So no worries at all about losing songs.
My worry is about how to play the songs I actually have!

If i connect an external hard drive to a time capsule, can i access this drive via internet?

If the drive can be accessed in local lan, then it can be accessed from internet assuming you have setup using one of the remote access methods.

How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

How I can set up the DynDns inside the Time capsule, or only with the Time capsule I have external access from a PC for ex.?

MobileMe service is finished.. to get remote access to the Mac or TC you use iCloud account.. but that is for files.. not to access web cams.
Without dyndns client in the TC, you can perhaps run dyndns on the computer or video recorder..many of these will have clients built into them.
Even better get a static Public IP from your ISP.. that is the correct professional way to do it.
Or you can use whatever broadband modem you have and remove the TC as the main router.. simply bridge it. Use your adsl router for connection. Almost all adsl have built in dyndns.
Sorry your language is very hard to follow.. and I am sure you are finding my answers similarly difficult.
Basically the TC is about the hardest device to setup because it is lacking important networking functions.
Get a vpn router and use vpn connection is far superior to any other method. But you cannot do it with TC.

I use my time capsule for wifi station and back up. However suddely time machien can no longer find the time captule drive , used for back up...

Time machiene can no longer find the back up files on my time captule..
I have have manged to see the files via finder.
dleted the files, and also gave time captule a new name, and pasword.
All seemd fine but somehow the new back up could not be finished.
Repeated all the steps, but now had the computer hooked up to the time captule with a network kabel ( make it go quicker..)
Still no succes...
Seems somhowe acces to the time captule is difficult for the time machien software...

How are you trying to add files??
You cannot add them to the TM backup?
TM owns the sparsebundle and you should not add files to any sparsebundle.. do not even attempt to.
You can create a new directory in the Time Capsule and copy files to that.. as long as you have turned on file sharing and give correct access permissions.
Mixing data and backups does have consequences though.

Time Capsule - Can't change network password after 10.6.3 update

Has anyone else experience an issue changing the Time Capsule network password after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3? If so did you find a work around? After the update I'm no longer able to change the Time Capsule network password when accessing it from Airport Utility. The utility will say that Time Capsule has updated the network password to the new one but when I check keychain it shows the old password. I tried resolving this by deleting the original keychain then changing it again in Airport Utility but it still shows the old password in the keychain and Airport Utility when I reopen the app.

HI,
Checkthe vendor site for Snow Leopard compatibility. The developer may need to update their software.

I can no longer access the web on my IPod Touch through my home wifi network.

I have an I Pod Touch with operating system 4.2.1. It has worked fine the past year plus. Suddenly, I can no longer access webpages on it. When try to load a website, looks like it is trying to open the page, but it never fully loads and times out. My I Pod indicates that it recognizes my wifi network and I have tried resetting both my I Pod and my router. Weirder yet, I can access my Yahoo email on my I Pod and if there is a website link embedded in an email message, i can open it and access the page that way. Any link on the web page opened through my email however does not work. My home computer, which is on the same wifi network, is working fine. The only thing that did occur recently was a power outage.
Please help - this is very frustrating.

LTE indicates cellular. Tap Settings > Cellular then switch Cellular Data ON.
If your Wi-Fi is working, then you should be able to access the internet.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
* No data is lost due to a reset

Can no longer access disks on network, all of a sudden happend

I have been at this for day’ now and have no results! Can no longer access disks on network.
Connecting to my server (it has one FW HD connected that is in 3 artitions). If I do it over a new window and click on the computer in the network I do see all the disks that it offers for sharing. Clicking one (or any for that matter) I get:
This operation can not be completed because original item for “name of disk” cannot be found.
If I try to mount over cmd K I again see all disks but can not mount any. I get:
A volume failed to mount.
The volume “name of disk” could not be mounted.
Trying to connect to the server from other machine gives same result. However I can connect between the tow other machines without a problem.
I have another machine in my network and this one I can connect to as always. My suspicion is thus that it is the host I can not connect to where the problem is.
And yes I did repair permissions, and ran Applejack.
This has happened al of a sudden as all was well a few days ago. Any insights?

Hi orangekay
not sure where you got the idea that I have
bizarre encrypted filesystem plugins and scripts you have manipulating them all the time
because I do not have any such running, just normal Applescripts that do tasks that could be done by hand.

Using Office 2011 on a new Mac. Now I can no longer access my entire contact list clicking TO/CC/BCC. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using Office 2011 on a new Mac. I can no longer access my entire contact list when clicking TO/CC/BCC to select several contacts for sending an email. I am so surprised & disappointed at the many difficulties, conflicts, & lack of features on the Mac (Lion 10.7).

Hello,
Are you using Apple Mail or MS Office Outlook for your email program? It has been a know issue for some time now that MS Office 2011 Outlook does not sync contacts with Apple's Address Book. This was true under Snow Leopard as well as in Lion. It worked well when I had Entourage (MS Office 2008) in Snow Leopard but once I switched to Outlook 2011, the sync stopped.
Did you just start using Outlook 2011 or has this happened after you move to Lion? Perhaps you could import your Entourage contacts into Outlook 2011?
Please let us know a bit more about your situation.
