Time Capsule causes iMac to FREEZE

My Time Capsule is DIRECTLY WIRED to my iMac via an ETL VERIFIED phone line cable (I don't like wireless it's too slow and unreliable). Even so, at the end of a backup everything freezes and I can't get the iMac to re-start or shut down in the proper way - I even left it overnight to run it's course - but it still remained in a freeze. Also, the little clock symbol seems to be revolving more slowly than normal. The only way I can get it all working normally again is to use the iMac power switch to shut it all down. As we all know, this method of shutting down is not desirable.
When I'm then able to look in the Time Machine Preferences, there's no information about the Oldest and Latest backups as in this screen shot:-
Can anyone out here advise me, please?

It seems your suspicions are right about the "unknown SIGSEGV code 0". I do run Adobe Bridge CS4, which I've used since it came out, and never had any problems using it. What can I do now? Here's a 'copy' & 'paste' of the relevant section from the Console (my Adobe bridge was not open at the time):-

Aborted automatic backup to Time Capsule causes machine to freeze

I have a MBP (Santa Rosa) 15" with 2GB RAM (the stock one I got with the MBP)and a newly arrived 500GB Time Capsule, connected via Airport.
I got 2 awful freezes in 4 days: mouse pointer stuck, no way to get back to work without a brutal shutdown (via power button).
I think I tracked down the problem, by looking at system.log.
In both cases the last (or nearly the last) records in the log refer to an aborted backup (I've set up Time Machine) because the machine is not connected to AC-power.
Here are the mentioned lines, after which only the boot sequence log appears.
Apr 14 23:17:55 Macintosh kernel[0]: AFP_VFS afpfs_mount: /Volumes/MyVolume, pid 3158
Apr 14 23:17:56 Macintosh /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[3162]: Not starting automatic backup, running on non-AC power source.

Apr 18 21:07:32 Macintosh /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[1297]: Not starting automatic backup, running on non-AC power source.
As you can see in the first one there is an extra line that misguided me before, but it's probably some notice arrived late from a process. In that case I left the machine unattended for a few minutes, in the second one, I noticed the freeze almost immediately. Actually, the clock on the menu-bar was at 21:08 when it froze, so the effect of the freeze follows about 30sec/1min after the triggering event.
I also think that some of the troubles reported here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6967074 might be related to the same event and not to switching locations.

Well, I found a fix. I first moved the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file from the Preference folder to the desktop, just in case I needed in the future (it turns out I didn't). Then I rebooted my computer. Time Machine did not find the .plist file and so I had to select again the disk for backup on Time Capsule. Then I backed up and it finally completed the hourly backup and now it seems back on track with the hourly backups

Which do I set up first time capsule or imac

I purchased a new iMac and Time Capsule. Which should I set up first time capsule or iMac?
I am also a bit confused about time capsule and "wireless" network. Today my computers (mostly) macs but an errant windows 7 machine and an HP network printer connect to a modem/and receiver supplied by my carrier. Do daisy chain the modem to time capsule or simply us the time capsule as another device. If it is another device does it create a second network. If it is a second network can he two be seen from one machine. A netwoek novice

Just use your existing network to setup your mac first.
Once you have everything running you can setup the TC.. it should be set to bridge.. but I have to admit to still using old version 10.6.8 and a 5.5 airport utility.. but you can also load the windows version of the airport utility onto the windows errant.. you still have.. !! That version of the airport utility is a tool unlike the one in ML which is a toy.
Go to Internet tab, connection sharing.. select off, bridge mode.. update the TC.. then plug it into the main router. It will then work fine on your network.. but will not create a new network. It is merely a switch and AP with a nice hard disk inside it.

Ich hatte das selbe problem, als ich ein laufendes Backup durch einen ungewollten Neustart unterbrochen hatte. Nachdem ich die Time Capsule über das AirPort Dienstprogramm neugestartet habe (einfach irgendeinen parameter ändern, zurücksetzen und Aktualisieren klicken) funktionierten die Backups wieder.

I want to hard line time capsule to imac so uverse router, modem, and wireless is the primary connection?

i want to hard wire time capsule to imac, so att uverse's modem, router, and wireless is the primary connection. i don't think the competing wireless features will play nice together.

If your goal is to provide Internet access to the iMac via an Ethernet connection to the TC ... and, in turn, have the TC connected by wireless to the Uverse gateway, then as you have already guessed, this combination won't work as the two routers are not WDS compatible. Your only option with this set of networking gear would be to connect the TC to the Uverse gateway by Ethernet.

Time Capsule causes Internet to move at a snails pace.

I've had my Time Capsule for a few months now, and only recently has it began to function like so. My first instinct was to blame Time Warner for the slow internet, yet after testing the speed with and without the router, I've narrowed it down to the TC. I've reset the Time Capsule, given it a few hours rest to cool down, and nothing. I've turned Time Machine off. I've restarted computers..no go.
When I plug in the TC and get everything hooked up, the internet is fine, but within about 5 minutes, the speed is reduced that that of 56k taking easily 3 minutes to load a single webpage.
I'm not sure if this could be the cause of a recent software update, or outside software interfering.
Anyone have this or a similar problem with suggestions?

Same problem. I have a Time Capsule 500GB Router. Recently it has a slow connection speed to the internet. The Las Vegas Speed Test (http://test.lvcm.com) shows download speeds averaging 12.0 - 15.0 mps and upload speeds of 50-99 kps. If I connect my iMAC directly to the cable modem, the upload speeds improve to approximately 2.0 - 3.0 mps. Note that my IMAC is connected to the Time Capsule though an Ethernet cable (not wireless).
I was looking for similar posts on the web and found a gentleman who disabled his WINS (wireless service). I did the same to the Time Capsule and the upload speeds (hence the entire internet experience) returned to normal.
I restarted the wireless service using my prior SSID with WPA/WPA2 Personal security and speeds stay at normal. Other computers connected wireless accessing the internet enjoy similar high speeds. The lasts for some time until the internet upload speed slows down again. I can repeat the procedure (shut off the wireless, etc.) with the same result.
Has anyone seen this before?

ITunes library folder vanished from Time Capsule after iMac crash

Hi,
Up until tonight, I've had my entire iTunes library stored on my 1TB Time Capsule (TC) which is accessed by a couple of Macs. After a forced restart of my iMac, the iTunes library on the TC has disappeared. I was in the middle of a iPhone 4 sync if I recall ...
I've run Disk Warrior over the internal hard drive on the iMac to no avail. Disk Warrior cannot see the TC drive. I've disconnected all users and powered the TC off completely and let it restart. Again, the folder on the TC which contained the iTunes library has vanished. All other folders / files on the TC appear in tact.
I don't believe I've deleted it as the remaining disk space on the TC hasn't changed. So I think it's still there but maybe it's corrupted?
Does anyone know if it's possible to run a detailed check over the TC hard drive to see if there is some directory damage which is affecting the iTunes library.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated. I do have a backup although it's not quite up to date.
Regards
Mark

Configure a new Time Capsule via iMac in a home non-apple WLAN

Hi, I have a new Time Capsule and want to configure it via my iMac. Aim is to use the TC in an existing WLAN (Vodafone) and to have it as a backup device in my home WLAN. When I start the TC it always turned to a blinking amber. This is regardless if I have it wire connected to the WLAN Router or not. I tried it also wireless with pressed WPS key.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Joe

When I start the TC it always turned to a blinking amber
This is normal, as the Time Capsule has yet to be configured with the correct settings to work with your existing network. When the Time Capsule has been setup correctly, it will display a green light.
The Time Capsule needs to connect to your wireless router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.
Specifically, the Ethernet cable would connect from a LAN <--> port on the Vodafone router to the WAN (circle of dots) port on the Time Capsule.
Use Apple's configuration wizard as noted in the Setup Guide to set up the Time Capsule to create a new wireless network.
Once that is done, you can go back in using AirPort Utility to turn off the wireless if you don't need another wireless network. In that case, the Time Capsule becomes a back up hard drive only.
Macs can back up to the Time Capsule using either a wireless or wired Ethernet connection.

Time Capsules causes MacBook Pro to crash and needs restart

After working seamlessly of months when Time Capsule commences a backup it causes the MacBook Pro to crash requiring immediate restart. This seems to have happened after 2 changes to my MacBook last night- installing Office 2008 and also OS X update ?SP1. I have tried turning off virus software and also resetting the Time Capsule - same problem
Can anyone help please?

An apple care agent walked me through the solution, and I am in backup mode now. Hopefully the problem is resolved. The fix is involves moving the existing sparsebundle on the TC disk (access via finder) into a new folder and starting a new backup in time machine, which creates a new sparsebundle. The old one can be deleted from the TC following a couple of successful backup iterations. Hope this helps and works.

Just set up Time Capsule and imac is backed up. Can I back up ipad and iphone too? If so, how do I do it?

Just bought AirPort Time Capsule (2TB) and my imac 10.7.5 is backed up.
Can I back up the information on my iphone and ipad - both are iOS 7.1.2?
On AirPort Utility I am not able to open other Wi-Fi Devices. TC indicates ipad and iphone are wireless clients.
Not sure what I do. Thanks.

iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your computer....or....to iCloud, if you have enabled that option.
If you have a Mac and have Time Machine backups enabled, then the iPhone and iPad backups stored in iTunes on the Mac are backed up to the Time Capsule.
In other words, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule, if you have Time Machine enabled. They do not back up directly to the Time Capsule.
For more information on iOS backups, please see this Apple Support document:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Or, you might want to post in the iPhone and iPad support communities.....where the iPhone and iPad experts hang out.

Can't back up to my Time Capsule from iMac.

Had to disconnect my Time Capsule from the iMac to troubleshoot an ISP problem. Upon reconnect I am unable to back up to my Time Capsule via Time Machine. I keep getting the following error message after the backup starts and immediately fails: Time Machine could not complete the backup. The network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username or password. Open Time Machine preferences to select the network backup disk and re-enter the correct username and password."
The network name and password are fine, because I am connecting to it via iPhones and a MacBook without problems. When I select my Time Capsule in preferences as the disk to use for backup, a window opens requesting the Time Capsule password, which I enter and then select "Connect" in that window. Still, after the two minute countdown, the backup fails and I am back to square one. Any assistance would be appreciated!!

OK, after posting my problem, I noticed the "More Like This" list. Clicked on one of those and it said to rename my Time Capsule to take out the "apostrophe s" in the name. That solved the problem!!

Can't connect time capsule to imac

I can't connect Time Capsule (TC) to the iMac. I get the following message: Another device on the network is using your ocmputer's IP address.

So does the Mac get an IP from the network or is it self allocated?
Does it have internet?
Can you please give me some more info.. I want the IP of the TC.. if still default then it is 10.0.1.1
What IP has your Mac got? Just get it from the network preferences. You have direct access via the airport icon.
We have seen any number of issues with Lion and latest TC firmware. Why it works on one computer and not another I don't know.
Try rebooting all the network items.. turn everything off and start in correct order with a few minutes in between.
modem---main router (TC if that is it)----wireless extenders----then clients.
Does the TC now appear?
If not from a computer that can access it, do a reset of the TC and change all the names to SMB compliant.
Short, no spaces no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
Passwords can be longer.. but same rules.. nothing more than 20 characters.
Lock the wireless channels.. for 2.4ghz, 1, 6, 11, and try each in turn if you have issues.

Two Partitions on Time Capsule causing Time Machine error

Hello
I have a 500Gb Time Capsule connected via Ethernet to my iMac. I run Adobe LightRoom and wanted to use the Time Capsule as a backup. I don't remember exactly what program I used but I was able to access the Time Capsule disk and set up a second partition which I labelled "Lightroom Backups" I set this as 50Gb and told LightRoom to use this as a backup volume.
This appeared to work but now I am getting an error message that Time Machine backup failed, target volume too small. It would appear that the Time Machine Backup is trying to write to the lightroom partition.
I have reset the Time Capsule to factory defaults but the 50GB "Lightroom Backups" is still there and does in fact contain 2 folders (backups.backup.db and a folder with a date label)
The thing is that I cannot remember how I managed to partition the disk in the first place.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to overcome this?
Thank You

you have to be in the minority. The only way to partition is to pull the drive out of TC and use Disk Utility.

Ethernet Between Extreme and Time Capsule Causes TC to drop off network.

This stumped Apple Support:
Set up.
Basement (where service enters the home):
CABLE MODEM ===> AIRPORT EXTREME (router and wifi) I have my Directv SWM Ethernet connected here.
I have an Ethernet cable run from here to my upstairs office.
Upstairs Office:
TIME CAPSULE ===> Ethernet to each of three IMACs (which back up to the TC)
Various AP Express for music and wireless extenders.
Here is my issue. All of the components work perfect when the AP Extreme, TC, and AP Express(es) are on WIFI.
When I try to connect the TC to the Extreme over Ethernet the TC drops off the network.
(This happens with or without the Directv connected)
This is frustrating because I hate losing the speed to my imac's by using wifi vs. Ethernet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Close AirPort Utility if it is open.
With the TC powered on, hold in the reset button on the back of the TC for 9-10 seconds and then release. Allow a full minute for the TC to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Connect the Ethernet cable (I assume that you have already tested to make sure that it is working correctly) to the WAN "O" port on the TC.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and wait a minute for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on Time Capsule.
(The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule instead of AirPort Express)
AirPort Setup will open automatically and take a minute to analzye the network, then announce that the TC will be configured to "extend" the network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Time Capsule and click Next
You should now see a message that the TC is being configured to "extend" the network "using Ethernet"
Wait another minute. When you see the messge of Setup Complete, click Done. That's it.
