Time capsule 'error occurred reading settings'

I was trying to configure 'back to my Mac' when I lost my Time Capsule. Have now got most systems OK and the Airport Utility window shows that I am connected to the internet; however it states 'no base stations found, searching'; on 'other wi-fi devices' it shows my time capsule but when I click on it a window starts up with 'reading settings' then after a while another window shows ' error occurred while reading the configurations.' The only button I have to press is 'OK' then nothing happens and it leaves the light on the time capsule flashing yellow. What now? Appreciate any help.

Redo the setup of the TC in full isolation from the network.
Ethernet to a computer and lan port on the TC. turn wireless off on the computer and nothing else in the TC.
Do factory reset and start again.
For BTMM to work it has to be main router in the network.. this can be difficult if you have a modem router that cannot be bridged. Tell us exactly what equipment you have.. modem and routers.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.

Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
They might be fixable but I do not know how.

Time Capsule Error: Unable to complete backup...

For the past two days I've been getting the following Time Capsule Error message whenever it attempts to back up my system, "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory." I can't get any more information about the error than that. If I reset my TC, will it lose all of my previous backups? Restarting my Mac didn't help. All other functions are fine, i.e. WiFi is good and I can still print to my printer hooked up to it. Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem. If a b/u does kick off, it shuts down the Mac. I get the darkened screen with the window that says a reset is required.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Time capsule sparse bundle reading "temporarily unavailable" and Time Machine files are not in order; what can I do to check on my backup systems?

I have my time machine set-up with my time capsule/airport. I cannot open my backups in the time capsule as it reads "spars bundle temporarily unavailable." Also, my time machine backup files are missing some files and not in oder by name as designed. It seems something is is not working. I have don a disk repair on the time capsule. I have closed and reopened my computer. Still unable to open time capsule. Does anyone know where else I need to check for errors?

There are two key but related bugs in Yosemite..
The big one IMHO at least is the network one.. and the secondary one is TM which is itself unreliable.
To fix the Network ones we have a long list of things to do.. but you do apparently have access to the TC so for now that is not the major one.
However some of your statements mean I am a bit lost on what you have done.
I cannot open my backups in the time capsule as it reads "spars bundle temporarily unavailable."
If you cannot open your backups how can you find that the backup files are missing. The files are missing from the sparsebundle which you cannot open??
my time machine backup files are missing some files
You cannot repair the disk of the Time Capsule.. only the Sparsebundle can be checked.. that means that you have accessed it and mounted it for disk utility to check it.
I have don a disk repair on the time capsule.
So I am confused about the comments.
What I would recommend is the standard set of fixes to Yosemite.
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.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
This user has had success and a few others as well.

Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-yo u-can-do-to-fix-it/
That is all to cover the network side of things.
Time Machine issue is a harder one because there is no simple work around I can give you.
My recommendations are to stop using a TC and test TM to an external hard disk plugged into the computer.. Do a whole new backup and see if that is fully working and accessible.
Or change over to third party program for backup.. I do recommend Carbon Copy Cloner as I use it personally but SuperDuper has a good reputation and there are others. It is far easier and quicker to test a bootable clone made with CCC as you simply boot from the backup.

Time Capsule Error - Disk not Avalable

Just got a new 1TB Dual band Time Capsule. Wireless works, can see the disk on the time capsule, and use Time Machine to select the disk to use for backup. Thing is, when I enter the password and click ok, the fields like "Available, Oldest backup, etc., fill in, then go blank. When it try to back up it errors out. Then the icon in the menu bar shows an triangle with and exclamation point in it. Any ideas how to fix it?

Figured it out.
It seems as though you have to tell the time machine which user accounts have access to the time capsule. Specify the account name, as listed in your user accounts, with password. If you do this it will allow the time capsule to work.

Time capsule error 111

hey
im having a problem with my time capsule error 111
worked fine until last week and i heard it was an error with lion which i upgraded 6 months ago and worked fine until last week.
I've tried some of the things said on these discussion boards but until now nothing....any other suggestions??
thanks in advance

I bought MacBook air last June 2011 with snow leopard os, then bought 3rd Gen time capsule 2tb. Tried to use it as backup but error 109 appeared. Then, I tried all tips in the net but nothing happened. I upgraded to lion os, tried to reinstall and back up again but error 111 appeared. Now my time capsule is just a router and one big paper weight. This apple product is an epic fail. It's really frustrating.

I can't connect to Time Capsule- error message: Backup disk is not available. Was working fine before.

Restart it.. Does this all the time with Lion and even worse ML.
Restart the whole network if that doesn't work.. do it in correct order.. from off.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.

Time Capsule Error Code 6584

What is Time Capsule Error Code 6584? What is the corrective action to clear it?

On the More Like This.. see the various very common complaints.. just to the right >>>
First one is good.. anything Pondini responds to listen. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17748380#17748380
A simple reboot of the whole network.. from off.. modem .. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap will probably fix it.
If it keeps happening, tell us your OS. (Most likely Mountain Lion.. which has networking ability of wet string and a pair of tin cans).

If I use airport utility to erase my time capsule will all my settings be lost? Does "import configuration" work well?

If I use airport utility to erase my time capsule will all my settings be lost? Does "import configuration" work well?

Erasing the Time Capsule's internal HDD, via the AirPort Utility, will NOT affect the TC's configuration settings. However, if your intent is to completely remove these settings as well, you will want to perform a "factory default" reset on the TC to do so.
If you first export the configuration, you can always import it back in after the reset to get you back up and running quickly.

Why does my time capsule error code -6584

time capsule error code -6584

There are a few causes..
Using the More Like This..
the top reference is helpful.. but you can see this is a regular problem.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17748380#17748380
Basically reboot the whole network.. restart in correct order.. modem.. router/TC...Clients.. 2min gap
Half the time will fix it.
It can also be the backup is corrupt and needs repair.
Are you aware of the supplement to 10.7.5 to fix TM??
This is not related to your problem,, rather it is slow backups.

How to Recall same activity (Sub process) if time out error occurs ??

Hi ,
how to recall activity/subprocess if error occurs for activiy ???
My use case is : I need to make vCO call from cpo (either using Webtarget or using Windows Powershell Script Activity) . if time out error occurs i need to make same call again . Can any one please help on this .
Thanks
SivaRam.

There is no inherently built in "recall" however this is not hard to do through content authoring.
If you believe this activity to fail a lot then I would do this...
*Setup a local boolean variable, default to false
*Set a while-loop to run while that local boolean is false
*When the activity runs if it's state is Succeeded or Not failed then set the boolean to true
That should accomplish what you want, however following a best practice I would be a max retry on there to limit the number of times it would attempt before you need to alert yourself that there could be an actual issue.
