Time Capsule fell over, now can't get the disk to mount

Hello all
Sorry for being a numpty, I've trawled through various threads but can't find the help I need.
I store my iTunes library on a Time Capsule. When loading up some CDs earlier, iTunes seemed to drop the connection, couldn't find the disk. I rebooted the TC and it popped up with a flashing amber. Airport Utility says "internal disk needs repair".
I've had a look for threads with similar problems but I always get stuck at the "mount the sparsebundle in Finder" bit.
I can't get Finder to see any disk at all. So I can't drag it to Disk Utility...
Am I doing something really silly?
Is my disk inside the TC toasted? I hope not... don't have the iTunes stuff anywhere else except on old backups, which are (you guessed it) on the TC also.
I'm not much good with OS X either so very basic instructions would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi, I just suffered the same thing! did you get any information on this problem or were you able to retrieve your data?
Thanks

    Which disk won't mount? What version of OS X? Your post is impossible to answer with no useful information.

    So I can't format the disk in the Time Capsule
    Deconnevt and then connecting the power tp the Time Capsule gives also no solution.
    What can I do?

    I listed the commands.. that is how you manually mount the disk.. follow exactly the commands I gave you.
    In finder use top menu, go, connect to server.
    Type in the following.
    AFP://TCname or AFP://TCIpaddress (obviously you replace with the actual name or the actual IP address).
    If that fails..
    try
    SMB://TCname
    Here is the screenshot.
    tardis4 being the name of my TC.
    It should then ask you for your credentials.
    And it should remember them in the keychain and be able to then get TM to connect.

    There is no "code to unblock it". It can only be unlocked by the carrier it's locked to. Contact them and see if they offer that service and if you qualify.

  • How can I get the disk information in Solaris 9

    I am new to Solairs9. I use the format utility to list my partitions, but there are many unassigned partitions. I pasted the format response below:

    The part number from 3 to 6 are unassigned. What does this mean? How much space of these unassigned partitions? How can I mount these unassigned partitions to my local directories?
    Thanks.

  • Time capsule settings changed now can't view files

    Hi,
    I changed my settings on my time capsule accidently and now I can't view my files. I click on the time Capsule in windows explorer and all I get is .com.apple.airport.sharepoint. I got this once before but can't remember how to fix it. I can see my TC files from my Ipad but not from my Windows 7 computer.
    Help!!

    The address is typed into the only place you can type addresses .. that is the address bar..
    If it cannot reach the TC hard disk then you need to do some more fundamental checks.
    1. Reset the TC to factory and start over.. Use all SMB names. As already stated.. all names must be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do it from a Mac or iOS with airport app.
    2. Plug the windows computer into the TC by ethernet. Make sure the LED turns on .. connectivity on both the computer and the TC. Make sure the PC has an IP address from the TC by opening a command prompt and typing.. ipconfig
    It should come up 10.0.1.x (x being any number).
    3. To make sure you have bonjour simply load it again.. easiest is to download and install the windows version of Airport Utility.. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
    If it refuses to install or say it is already loaded then you already have it.
    4. Make sure you set the file sharing page to Guest access on and workgroup to WORKGROUP.
    5. Now type the name or the IP again into the address bar of windows explorer.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress.
    You do not type what I put.. you type the actual name or actual IP. Clearly \\TCIPaddress will not work.. unless you named the TC TCIPaddress which would be rather odd. For example if the TC is default.. 10.0.1.1 then you type \\10.0.1.1 .. just to be clear. 

  • HT4352 i set my apple up prior to setting up the itunes.  I now can't get the apple tv remote to work any suggestions

    I am having issues setting up my appletv.  I made the error of setting it up without having itunes on my computer.  I can't get the remote to work, the light isn't on the box, and I can't get it to reset to factory default.  I don't have a "-" key on my remote.  I held the menu button down with every button on the remote without success.
    Please help!!

    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • I've updated Time Capsule firmware and now can't print wirelessly

    I have recently updated my Time Capsule to Firmware 7.6.2 and now my computer no longer sees my Brother MFC9320-CW either wirelessly or via ethernet.  I am able to hook the printer up to the Time Capsule's USB port and print in that way.
    The printer does not retrive a DHCP address either wired or wirelessly, and when I set it staticly, it still does not respond to a ping.  I hope I'm barking up the right tree here, as the firmware update on the time capsule is the only thing I can think of (aside from a network card failure on the printer, which its diagnostics insist is not the case) that is causing this.
    My next step will be to set up a test WiFi network with a third-party router to remove the printer (network card failure option) from the equation.

    To Downgrade Your Time Capsule Firmware:
    Open Airport Utility: Applications → Utilities → Airport Utility
    Find your device in the left-hand column and select the “Manual Setup” button
    In the “Summary” window that pops up click on the word “Version”
    In the pop up box that comes up next to the “Upload Version” select the previous version
    Click “OK”
    Your Time Capsule will restart and be as good as new!

  • Can't connect to Time Capsule. Error: Could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53).

    I have a Time Capsule that I've been using for a while now. I've got a Windows 8 PC and a few MacBooks that I use with it.
    Recently, I had to hard-reset my Windows 8 PC (with the reset button while everything was locked up). When it came back, I couldn't connect to my Time Capsule anymore. I get the error message: "Could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53)."
    I've tried:
    Checking on the NetBIOS service to ensure that it's running
    Explicitly enabling NetBIOS on the Internet connection
    Renaming my Time Capusle to have no spaces or disallowed characters
    Pinging both the Time Capsule's name and IP address (both respond)
    Any suggestions?

    Do you have bonjour installed? If not I recommend you install the full apple airport utilities for windows.. although only win7 is available.. it does install in win8. Apple btw need to do some work on making windows access current.
    In windows explorer, simply type the address to the TC in the address bar.
    \\TCname or \\TCipaddress
    If it fails.. turn off firewall and ensure the PC is located at home..as opposed to work or public. A windows PC can go stupid and think it is suddenly in a new environment for no apparent reason. Your reset might do exactly such a thing.
    If you still have issues.. are you getting full internet access ok?
    Can you open the airport utility in windows and find the TC? If so go to the file sharing page and turn on the guest account to read and write access. This helps loads.. and make sure the workgroup is set to WORKGROUP.

  • I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked.  I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button.  I need the actions script code to make this happen.

    I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time.  I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen.  I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code.  It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
    Thank you in advance
    AP

    It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description.  If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work.  Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

  • I just changed the channel on my Airport Extreme and now can't get the Airport Express to recognize the network.  What do?

    I changed the channel on Airport Extreme to get away from interference.  Now I can't get my airport express to recognize the network.  What do I do?

    I would suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and then, using the AirPort Utility, reconfigure it "join" or "extend" the AirPort Extreme as appropriate for your networking requirements.

  • Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad.  Thanls

    Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad.  The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
    THanks

    Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
    HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly.  So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.
