Time capsule device not found

I have a recurring problem backup failed and device not found.
I have been on to apple told pull the plug on time capsule every time.
now i am told to go into network and take it of automatic and set it to 2.4 to channel 11 and the 5 to channel 44.
is this now limiting the time capsule to the 2 channels.
is this the best result for the time capsule or would i be better getting a non apple product.

the phone has been switched of and unplugged
just checked my Time Machine and its missed backups again.
I go into airport utility yet again its missing the time capsule.
I am sorry, but Yosemite is doing its thing.
So much for Apple blaming my cordless phone.
Apple has to find something to blame, since they will never blame themselves.
have a program from the app store wifi checker.
running it looking at the wifi signal in my area I have 2 main accounts with 2 different BSSID the last letter different on each.
I also had for a bit 3 guest accounts 2 with the same BSSID and 1 different BSSID there is another wifi account not mine with the same BSSID as this 1.
This all sounds normal.
I am afraid that all you can do is wait for the next Yosemite update to see if it will fix some of these issues.

After hard reset my time capsule is not found in airport even though its light is green so cannot reset

After hard reset the time capsule is not found in airport even though i have reconnected in proper order - says backup disc not found

Something is wrong because a hard reset will never leave the TC with green LED.
What version TC.. what firmware??
What OS on the computer?

TIme Capsule suddenly not found

Time Capsule has been backing up without problem and now suddenly I am getting a message saying the back up disc cannot be found in Time Machine.
The Time Capsule's light is steady green but the Airport Utility cannot find it.
I am running SL on an iMac - TC is connected wirelessly.
I have not altered or tweaked anything - what should I do?
Hah! I just tried again and it has re-appeared in Airport Utility and is now backing up.
So my question is, why did this happen?

Sure is a strange one..
Firstly just to confirm TC2 is plugged into TC1 by ethernet and bridged?
How are you trying to access TC2?? is it wireless.. or ethernet? If both are running at once turn one off.
How is the wireless setup if you use wireless?
Since PC need SMB access.. and the Mac is using AFP access.. sometimes strange things happen in that files are identical but different. Mac uses resource forks and other weird stuff.. linked to the file and when you try and open it on a pc it does strange stuff.
Make sure the TC is setup PC/SMB compatible.. ie all names are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
That includes the TC name, Hard disk name and wireless names.
Setup workgroup correctly .. ie WORKGROUP generally.
Set user access correctly.. I turn on the guest account to read and write access.
If you don't have bonjour for windows loaded make sure it is.. or the full airport utility.
I recommend you create a directory from windows..
From the Mac, open one of your projects in Lightroom and export.. save as the file to the new directory in TC2 created from windows. I don't use Lightroom so I am not sure what options are available.. but I would try and use some compatible format if the main format fails to open.
Then try and open it again from windows.

My time capsule is not connnecting to the internet

My modem stopped working and I have a new one, now my time capsule /private network from it is not connecting to the internet
Any ideas?

When you replace a modem you have replaced the KEY part of the network.. the Airport /TC needs a factory reset to work again.
No files are lost doing this..
I have added some notes particularly for Mavericks/Yosemite as a new clean setup is also good time to fix network issues with names etc. Particularly for Yosemite this is important.
A factory reset of the TC is the start.. it is required so you can find it again.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
There is more if you need it.. This thread is help.. read from bottom last post up.
time capsule device not found

My Time Capsule is not allowing other wifi device to connect. Even my PC which is plugged to the Time capsule. How to let all device connect and my PC too?

My Time Capsule is not allowing other device to connect. My Mac Air did the setup and connection and it is. Now Iphone and Ipad are seeing the network but are unable to connect. Same with my desktop PC connected to the time capsule and not able to reach the net. How to fix this?

Time capsule does not appear in shared devices

All of the sudden my Time Capsule does not show up in the shared devices. It's all up to date, it is working fine as a router and internet connection works fine. It also show up in the airpot utility and the light is green however it does not show up on the shared devices so I cannot access the data folider anymore.
Furthermore Airport utility indicates that the disk is damaged but I cannot repair it because I cannot access it.
Any ideas? (beside doing a reset which I have already done)

That is bad.. the light should not be green unless you told the TC to ignore the problem.
A damaged disk has to be replaced.. if the SMART has gone off or is showing as bad or no capacity then you need to replace the disk (or if under warranty.. the whole TC).
How old is the TC?
Model number from the base A1xxx helps.
You can try doing an erase from the airport utility if the disk shows up at all. But if SMART has gone off the disk will need replacement anyway.
If less than 1year return to apple for warranty replacement.. and if you have applecare on a computer it will cover the TC for up to 3years although the rules are strict.. so check.
See instructions for removal of the hard disk.
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule_Model_A1302
Certainly if the TC is older than 3years.. it might be better to consider replacement. Certainly replacing a hard disk could be just short fix until the power supply also goes.

Airport time capsule does not appear within wi-fi networks on my OSX neither on my IOS devices, even though the backup for my OSX is on progress. why it does not appear?

Is it because the backup on progress?

Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..
See
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Do a full reset and start over.
But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.

Device Not Found

I have been using a Time Capsule with with Mac Air 13 inch for the last 1.5 years. the Time casule is the main wi-fi router in my network. off late i have started getting a message Device not found, where as the internet is connected. due to this error no data (time machine) back up is available. also this issue leads to internet disconnection on my Mac (where are other devices lice PC's and iphones are connected to the same network without any problem).
Please help me if anyone has a solution.

You hidden the most important thing.. the name of the TC. I don't know why as we can certainly not connect to it remotely.
The name looks wrong though if I am seeing it right.. in terms of being too long and having spaces.. and possibly many of them.
There is a bug.. if you reboot the TC this issue will go away for a few hours.. or days..
Have you rebooted btw??
Do a factory reset of the TC.
Change all names to SMB standard.. that means universal not Apple only.
SMB names that work..
Short.. 2-20 characters
No Space..
Pure alphanumeric.
You need that for TC name.. wireless name/s and hard disk share name.
Please see C9 for a more apple explanation of what long names do.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
I would also go back to 7.6.1 firmware.. if not earlier.. 7.5.2 is very stable.. but later Gen4 can only go back to 7.6.x

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, Time Capsule is not recognized

After I upgraded my Mac to OS X Mavericks 10.9, Time Machine stopped backing up to my Airport Time Capsule and now the Mac no longer recongizes the TC device. It is a TC model # A1254, 500GB. Any suggestions for being able to re-connect / re-set-up the TC with Time Macine? Thank you.

Well, it turns out the Time Machine backing up to the Time Capsule (TC) worked only temporaily. Now, it is not backing up to the TC. The Airport utility has a pop-up box which states "Device Not Found Time Capsule was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet. Forgetting this device removes it from this network." It is in the same room as the Mac and is plugged in and powered up.
When I click on "Other Wi-Fi Devices" in the upper left of the Airport Utility, it states "No new Wi-Fi devices discovered" and "No remote Airport Base Stations discovered."
Now, I am confused, too.

Time Capsule will not reset

I'm trying to delete old user devices from my access control list, but after I remove them, the Time Capsule will not reset properly. After I delete one of the devices, click on Update, the time capsule gets stuck during the update and never fully resets. If I pull the plug and restart the time capsule, it reverts back to it's previous state with the devices still in the access list. Is anyone having this trouble?

Dear Stephen,
I have the same problem and I found this thread describing the same thing on another forum. Each time I try to change any setting this happens (i.e., TC won't reset and I have to unplug it before I can use it again).
When the postings in the mentioned thread are any indication no reset (hard or soft) will have any lasting effect. But of course, I will try to reconfigure and see what happens.
Any solution or localization of where the source of the problem (firm-/soft-/ or hardware) would be highly appreciated:)
Best
Rene

Failure to Setup my Time Capsule Device. PLEASE HELP ME.

Hey everyone,
I just bought my Time Capsule device and I installed the software that came with it. Then I powered up the device. I opened the Airport Utility. I found my device. I went through the steps as instructed. It required that the time capsule device restarts so i hit continue. It restarted and when it had finished turning back on an error came up saying that it could not locate an Apple wireless device. Have any of you guys ran into this problem? Can you help me? My ultimate goal is to connect my Time Capsule to my existing wireless network.

I too had set-up problems, but went to my DHCP/DNS server configuration with Automatic for network instead of my normal................but, I have to go to system preferences EVERYTIME and ask for assistance with message asking if I want to set up using a different set-up then go to my INP, which is my cable connection for internet and ask for user name and password. Thinking that that was the solution, I called Mediacom and they said it is APPLE I need to contact.
I am loving the freedom of my router when it connects, but do not understand why I have to go to Systems Preference to assist and it has to "recognize" a new configuration each and every time. Looking forward to solution. Thanks
PS: This is my first discussion and I could not find the icon to post a question so I hooked on to Big Mike and Glenn.

HP Device Not Found Error when trying to print or scan wireless- HP Officejet Pro L7590

Have had HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-In-One Printer for years. Always worked fine and I had no issues printing via wireless connection. Several months ago.. Possibly after a Windows 8 update. From Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 I have not been able to use the printers wireless feature. When I try to print or scan it shows the printer as offline. Also get an error message that tells me "HP Imaging device is not found". I can still print when connected to USB. Cannot scan or use features of the HP software suite. I have tried several times to correct. Reloading the software and drivers several times, but no success. I just tried again and was able to print the test page wireless, so got all excited and thought I fixed it. Then tried to print something and got the same error message I have seen in the past. I have talked to certain supports saying that it may be a firewall setting within Windows. Any other suggestions? Thanks

Boot Device Not Found Please Intall an Operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk - (3F0)

Hello,
I tried to re-install de OS from windows 7 to windows 8.1 and when the bios update driever was installed and the laptop was restaring it appeared the folowing window and message:
Boot Device Not Found Please Intall an Operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk - (3F0)
After that i tried a lot of different ways to get to boot device select ...but i couldn't do anything. I removed the HDD and i put it back, i've tried with holding in the same time windows +B and pressing the power button in the same time for 1..2 seconds and then i've waited for at least 1 minute..and it didn't appeared anything on the screen. I've done the hard drive check and it passed. The weirdest thing is that when i want to select a boot device to re-install again the OS, i can't see any boot device to select. I need to mention that i've formatted the HDD in another computer. I dont care about the informations from the HDD beacause i saved all the informations on another device storage.
Please help me repair this problem!!! thanks a lot!
Have a nice evening.!!!

Whenever you get a message stating that the boot device not found it could be because of bad sectors on the Hard Drive. Its not necessary that the Hard Drive Test should fail to determine if the Hard Drive if its faulty or not. Sometimes even if the Hard Drive Test passes the Hard Drive will still not work because of the bad sectors in it.
Best way to find out if its the Hard Drive you can try the Hard Deive on a different Notebook which would help you determine if it's faulty or not.
Could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

Hi @Darren104
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I saw your post regarding the Boot Device not Found error message. This HP document Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message will show you how to reset your BIOS. This will force the BIOS the look at the hardware and it might see your new hard drive. Another reason that it might not be seeing the hard drive is because there is no bootable operating system on the hard drive. You might need to look at taking it out and installing an operating system on it via another computer.
