Time Capsule disconnected error messages

MacBook Air 2011
I used to have a Time Capsule (2nd generation, I think) that eventually died on me, so I've removed it.
Now I keep getting annoying error messages when starting Chrome:
These delay the start of Chrome as I have to click ok two or three times, often delaying it by up to a minute. Super frustrating.
My Time Machine is turned off and I have deleted the Time Capsule as a backup server, so not sure why it's trying to connect.
Any help would be appreciated.

The message is not from chrome though.
You need to check that there is no other reference to the TC in the system.
Check in Finder under Go Connect to server and delete anything there.

Time Capsule shows error message "Conflicting DHCP Range."

I just set up a wireless network using a Time Capsule as the main router with an Airport Extreme bridged to it so I can have a strong signal downstairs. It all worked fine at first, but at some point the Time Capsule showed this error message on Airport Utility: "Conflicting DHCP Range."
The instructions that pop up when I click on the error message are beyond my level of understanding. They say: "This Airport base station rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. Try switching your Airport Base Station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode. If you still want to use DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, change your DHCP range."
Could one of you tell me what I should do? Thanks.

Try switching your Airport Base Station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
I suggest that you do what AirPort Utility suggests.....
Open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Express and click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update to save the settings and give the AirPort Express a minute to restart

Time capsule unexpected error message using maverick and utility 6.3

I have a TC 3TB new in last year. I had it set up a to join my home wireless network, it is connected via ethernet to my iMac, and it has been working fine. I updated to mavericks last week and everything was still working fine. Until yesterday. Now my TC is not recognized. I've tried to hard reset it several times and set it up to join as before, I've tried to restore previous settings, and set up a new network, none of these have worked. I continue to get the same message, "an unexpected error occurred" and to try again.
Any suggestions?

AirPort Utility won't let me change the router mode. In fact, I can't even get to the menu shown in the picture you've posted. The button "Other Options", if this should be the way, is innactive...
You need to get in.. connect by ethernet dongle.. and make sure you have an IP from the TC..turn off wireless in the MBPr.
Then if you cannot get into the device do a factory reset.
See instructions on reset.. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
In simple terms.. hold in reset and THEN power on the TC.. keep holding reset until the front led flashes rapidly .. about 10sec. no data is lost from hard disk.
Select the TC in the airport utility
Info on the unit appears. Then click on edit.
That gets you to the manual setup screen..
One last question. For option 1 (all I need is using TC just to back up stuff from my MBPr automatically via Time Machine), should I connect the TP-Link modem/router to the WAN port of TC or to one of its 3 ethernet ports?
Thanks again
In bridge it makes no difference.. but by convention we use WAN to connect to modem.. it helps to keep things clear when you troubleshoot.. but when you bridge.. WAN port is assigned to LAN.
Spell checking is always fun here.. but I refuse to follow the US convention even if normal spell check is forced to US on the website.. my posts always have lots of spelling errors. !!!

Time Capsule disconnects when I connect my external hard drive

All my software is up to date, but when I connect my Western Digital external hard drive to the Time Capsule's USB port, the Time Capsule disconnects from the internet, my PC (which is connected via ethernet), and my MacBook Pro (via wi-fi). Sometimes it'll work okay for a few hours and then just goes incommunicado later in the day. If I remove the external hard drive from the USB port and restart, I have no problems. But once I plug it back in, it happens all over again. What's going on here?

That'll work as well, just not as convenient when you are on the go. You may want to pick one of these up as well. (not sure which plug you need, but there are a bunch of different ones on ebay).

HT3275 Time Capsule backup error

I am getting an error while backing up with Time Capsule.
The message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXXXXXXX’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."
What does it mean?

It means you are more than likely running Mountain Lion (or Lion).
And your Networking has now reached the limits of ML.. ie wet string.
Reboot the whole network.. start in order modem.. tc.. clients. With 2min gap between.

You are only the 4th person today with the issue.

Getting "line disconnected" error message when trying to monitor

Getting "line disconnected" error message when trying to monitor "live stream" on cameras from computer. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix? I have reconfigured each camera with the router but still having the error message. I have a total of three cameras....(1) is wired and (2) are wifi......I am getting this message with all cameras (both wired/wifi).

Is this an intermittent error that you get now and then, or were you able to successfully setup your cameras, then one day you got the "line disconnected" on all cameras since that point and on?
If this is an intermittent problem, I can share that I experienced the same thing the first two days of having setup my cameras. It seemed that my Gateway was communicating with the Verizon servers pretty heavily as I was getting my HMC first setup. However, starting on day three and on, it has worked very well.
The only odd thing I'm experiencing now is that I getting several "camera_detected" messages in the activity logs. All my cameras show up in the My Devices list, and I can view them either as a snapshot or as live streaming, however, the log makes it seem that there is a mystery camera connected somewhere that I don't know about. I have a call in to Verizon regarding this and hopefully will get an answer in the next couple of days. It's not hurting anything, just kind of annoying to sort through those entries as you're going through your Activity Log.

Time Capsule disconnects every few days

Hi, my Time Capsule disconnects every week to ten days, as indicated by a flashing yellow light. To reconnect it, I have to unplug and disconnect it from the ethernet cable. It's then able to reconnect until the next failure. This seems to be a different problem than previously described in this forum, as it is not able to reconnect on its own.
I'm using an iMac running on OS 10.6.8.
Capacity is 999.9 GB of which 192 GB is used on disc.
The Time Capsule is a 1TB Sim Dualband Time Capsule bought on May 21, 2011. It's past the end of the one year warranty but has been doing this pretty much from the start.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

How do I access the logs?
logs are in advanced area of v5 utility. there is no access to logs in the v6 utility.. I guess Apple thought that looking at logs was beyond the average users ability so no longer needed in new slick interfaces.
Use v5 utility.. if you run Lion download it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you are on Mountain Lion.. then you will need to trick it to install. Download and install and run unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download the 5.6 utility from reference above.. open the dmg file to see the pkg file.. AirPortUtility56.pkg.. drag that file over unpkg.. it will create a new directory on your desktop. of the same name.. drill down, Applications, Utilities. There is the real utility.. drag it to your main Applications Utilities directory. Ignore completely the toyland v6 and run only 5.6.
"is the TC router or bridged or worse possible, join wireless network." - Are you saying joining a wireless network may fix it or that being in one may be the cause?
Thanks.
You have not provided any indication of the network layout. If you want to pursue this I need full info..
Is the TC the main router or in bridge mode?
What broadband do you have? What modem? Is it a router?
Have you tested with the TC out of operation.. with another router?
Give complete details... that way we can narrow down the issue and work out if the TC is in best possible mode.
The worst mode as I indicated above is join wireless due to wireless being flakey at any time and TC not the most stable. This will be slow, although ironically the other problems might stop.. who knows unless you try it.
What OS is your computer running? If you are on Mountain Lion, well join the club.. this is a major issue and I doubt there is a solution.
But you can start by setting SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric for everything.
TC name ... TC
Wireless names.. different for both bands. TC24ghz TC5ghz
Hard disk share name.. Data
If the TC is the main router set very short lease time for dhcp.. 20min. and see if that improves anything.

This is a standard message when you connect the IPOD to the computer;
When you’re connected you should use your computer to interface your IPOD;

Can't back up to time capsule, repeatedly get message error occurred while trying to copy files to the backup disk

I have just installed a time capsule on my new IMac.
I have set it up with ethernet connection to my modem and to my IMac
Every time I try to back up I get an error message about not being able to write files to the backup disk; I have reset it, re-booted it and done everything else I can think of.
Does anyone have any suggestions on remedying this problem?

Time capsule remote access message from airport utility "An error occurred while reading the configuration"

WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS Time capsule remotely, I receive a message from airport utility "An error occurred while reading the configuration." It worked before on the same computer with the same setting. I am in a different country now (Afghanistan). Not sure if that can be an issue.

If the TC is at home and in router mode as the main router of the network, get someone at home to give you the current public IP which will be on the summary page of the airport utility.
With the public IP try and access it by typing the IP directly into finder.. go.. connect to server.
AFP://publicip.
If you have setup WAN access it will. Otherwise no.
For BTMM and iCloud access and its various issues.. this thread may give you some ideas.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
If the icloud method proves unreliable and you are dependent on access to the TC.. I strongly recommend better and more reliable access methods.. in particular buy a VPN modem or router.. whichever suits your internet type and put the TC in bridge behind it. Direct connect to the TC via the vpn.
You will need either a static public IP which you purchase as an extra from your ISP .. maybe via a business account or setup a dyndns account which are readily available.

Time Capsule disconnects internet when using web server through port forwarding

My current config is: 2TB Time Capsule running 7.6.3, Mac Pro running Lion (10.7.5), MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and a couple of MacBook Pro Retinas running Mountain Lion. My current ISP is Comcast.
I have the Time Capsule set up to port forward port 80 to the Mac Pro for the purpose of running a web server. Most of the traffic is shuttling fairly large m4v files back and forth to work (work product from video editing work). I can reach the webserver on the Mac Pro just fine from the outside world, and can list files in the directory just fine. When I initiate a download (via right click on a link, "Save As..." or whatever), the Time Capsule reports that the Internet has been disconnected, and all machines inside my network lose access to the outside world. I have to either power cycle the Time Capsule, or disconnect/reconnect the Cat-6 cable between the cable modem and the Time Capsule to re-establish the connection. Interestingly, the download continues and completes on the other end without issue (so, the connection is actually still there!).
Before switching to Comcast, I was on AT&T Uverse - Uverse includes a router, so I had the TIme Capsule set up in Bridge Mode. That worked fine. I also have an older 500GB 1st generation Time Capsule. I set it up with the same config as my 2TB TC, and it shows the exact same behavior - internet disconnects upon initiating a file download through a forwarded port. I then hooked the Mac Pro up directly to the cable modem. I can initiate a download without issue, and I continue to stay connected to the Internet without problem. Called Comcast anyway - they report no errors on the line, but reset the whole device chain anyway. No change in behaviors.
I tried downgrading the Time Capsule software to 7.6.2 (the earliest version that came on it). No dice, same behavior.
So... I called Apple. Complete and utter FAIL. Apple Support reports that they have no training in the port forwarding features of the Time Capule or Airport products, and cannot help me resolve the issue because of that. So, I have a $300 router that apparently cannot perform a simple routing function (download through a forwarded port), that I cannot troubleshoot (because Airport software v7 is an epic fail in that regard), made by a company who cannot support it - and everything this $300 device is doing can be done by a $50 device with a $100 external hard drive?
Do I understand this situation correctly? What have I missed in trying to troubleshoot this thing?

Excellent summary.. I think you have covered all the salient points most thoroughly.
Port forwarding on the TC I would put into the category of "epic fail"
I have a nasty feeling it just doesn't work in many cases. Clearly from your situation the port is forwarded correctly.. it is the actual download that is causing the device to crash.. which is probably not the port forwarding itself that is at fault but rather the external link and opening another port for the download to happen.
Many of the issues were caused by using icloud and btmm.. which would work a lot better btw. Although the hassle there is needing to offer that as a service to any Tom Dick or Harry.
Let me suggest a work around or other things to try.
I also have an older 500GB 1st generation Time Capsule. I set it up with the same config as my 2TB TC, and it shows the exact same behavior - internet disconnects upon initiating a file download through a forwarded port.
Use 5.6 utility.. more info below. And take the firmware of this unit (Gen1) back to 7.5.2 (before icloud mess ups in 7.6).
You can go back to 7.5 firmware also in Gen4 TC if it is more than about 14months old.. Simply hold down the option key when you select firmware and the old versions will show up. If your TC came with 7.6.1 (the 7.6.2 was withdrawn as it was even bigger failure than 7.6.3). then you cannot go back.
You might also find downloading via http is not as reliable as using FTP.. FTP is a better and more efficient protocol. It should be no problem to setup ftp server on the mac pro to allow download via ftp even with a browser.
But in the end.. your $50 router suggestion.. well perhaps a little more than that.. $80-100 will work very well.. also this router can be setup with a Hard Disk and offer the files to the internet via FTP.. without needing full network access to your internal network.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

"iTunes could not back up the iPad because the iPad disconnected" error message after upgrading to 8.3

Yesterday I upgraded my iPad Air from 7.1.2 to 8.3 after holding off upgrading until now. Before the upgrade I backed up the iPad without any problems but since the upgrade I can't back up the iPad – it goes to step 2 of 4 and stays there for ages, and then I get a pop up box saying "iTunes could not back up the iPad "... iPad" because the iPad disconnected."
I've just tried setting up iTunes on another PC and backing up the iPad to this iTunes and got the same error message so it's not the iTunes setup on either computer (Windows 7 PCs).
Everything I've tried so far seems to be working on the iPad but I can't do any backups.
Any suggestions on what else to try will be much appreciated.

Sometimes resetting the iPad system helps. Did you try that? If not, try it. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Then try to backup again.

3TB Time Capsule Disk Error

Just bought a new 3TB 4th Gen Time Capsule. Have managed to get the wireless network up but cannot find the disk for time machine back up. It comes up with an disk error message. Am I missing something or is the Disk damaged? I thought is was supposed to be straight out the box.

What is the exact error message? Have you used the Time Machine panel in System Preferences to select that drive? Have you configured the internal drive using AirPort Utility?

Trying to use Airport Extree in Time Capsule nned error code help

Earlier i got a message somethinga bout a bios but i did nto write it downa nd now can;t get it to produce it.
Can;t they ever make anything that works the first time out of box for us older non techy guys.
HELP
Dan

Thank you for your quick answer, smorkerz. However, I did it and it doesn't work.
I tried to check separately the time capsule and the airport extreme, switching one off when using the other one. The result is that each one works alone but when I use them both, just time capsule appears, works well, and I can't use the airport to print for instance.
Do you understand anything ?
