Time Capsule gives MobileMe/Apple ID password error after adding Express

I have a 1st Gen Time Capsule at the top of my network plugged into my cable modem.  I just purchased one of the new Airport Expresses to extned my network.
I plugged the Airport Express in and used the iOS "Airport Utility" app to set it up.  The utility (both on the the iOS and on my Mac) show the new Airport Express with a green light and connected.  However, my Time Capsule now has a warning error with an orange light.
On the iOS device, it says "Unrecognized Apple ID or password--An Apple ID or password is incorrect.  Enter the correct Apple ID and password and try again."  Of course, on the iOS, there's no way to enter it, so I went to the Mac's Airport Utility (I have both 5.6 and 6.0, but I used 5.6).  On the Mac's Airport Utility, the error says that the MobileMe member name or password is incorrect.  (Note, wireless continues to work--I just have the error).
Since the Mac's utility asks to correct the MobileMe username/password, I type those in and let it update.  I know that I am typing the correct username/password, but the error continues to occur.  I could click "ignore this issue" on the iOS Airport Utility and all lights so green, but the issue shouldn't be there to begin with.  I'd like to figure out what is causing the error.  Is there another location that I should be entering the information?
I do have a separate Apple ID, but it's asking for my MobileMe credentials (which migrated over to iCloud).
It's bizarre that the NEW device has no errors and my wireless is still working.  But the original Time Capsule which was working fine with no errors, now has an error after adding the new device.

Crazy, but attempting to fix the information in Airport Utility 6.0 worked fine--but it wouldn't work in AU 5.6.
It does seem odd that I couldn't attempt to fix the username/password issue from within the iOS app to begin with.  It told me what the error was, but didn't seem to give me a place to edit the information.

  • Time Capsule Disappears from Radius Base Stations List after adding

    I'm running a Mac Mini with 10.7, Lion Server, and Server Admin Tools along with a Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation).
    After I add the base station (you can see my steps below) the base station restarts and then disappears from the list. The base station is then ignored:
    Sat Jul 23 11:47:41 2011 : Error: Ignoring request to authentication address * port 1812 from unknown client 10.0.1.1 port 65530
    This is because it's not listed as a known base station in the radius config (as far as I can tell). No other errors (than the one above) listed in either radiusconfig Log or radiusd Log. I cannot figure out how to add the base station to the list! Do I need to just manually add it to the clients.conf? If I do that, I feel like I probably won't get any of the special features that come with the Server managing the base station. Has anyone else experience this?
    The base station does get the configuration from the server when I set it up, it switches from WPA 2 Personal to WPA 2 Enterprise with a shared secret, the correct IP and port 1812.
    The server does not have a firewall configured or enabled (for simplicity while configuring this...)
    Here's how I set up Radius:
    Selected the Time Capsule from the Hardware list in Server.app
    Checked the box for "Allow user name and password login over wi-fi"
    Opened up the Server Admin.app and selected my server
    Expanded to choose RADIUS
    Chose Configure RADIUS Service
    Allowed all users
    Selected my Base Station and entered the password
    Used my default certificate
    Accepted the default options
    Let the Time Capsule restart
    After the Time Capsule was back online, Base Stations lists 0 base stations.
    Clicked on the Base Stations Tab and Chose Browse, selected the base station, entered the password, let the Time Capsule Restart, it shows up in the list, but when the list is refreshed, the Time Capsule no longer appears in the list.
    Clicked on the add button ("+") and Added the information manually, set a shared secret, and let the Time Capsule restart, it shows up in the list, but when the list is refreshed, the Time Capsule no longer appears in the list.
    Using Terminal, manually tried to add the Base Station: radiusconfig --capture-base-station 10.0.1.1 10.0.1.254
    Entered a shared secret
    Time Capsule restarted, was never listed in the radius config

    Hello, I am having the same exact problem. Have you figured out a solution?
    Please let me know!

  • Time Capsule No Longer Backs Up First Computer After Adding Second Computer

    I'm new to this forum and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.
    I have a 1 TB TC. I used it to begin backups on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.6). I did the first backup on 1/4/09 and, up until today, it has been working very well, with hourly backups, as it is supposed to. Today, I added my wife's PowerBook (also 10.5.6). After the first backup (by ethernet link), it now performs hourly backups on hers. On my MacBook, however, it reports "preparing to backup" for hours, with nothing happening. Again, everything was fine on my computer, until I added the second one.
    Any idea what might be happening?
    Thanks,
    Marty Hewlett

    Problem is solved. It turns out that I had three events that occurred, only one of which caused my problem. As you suggested, adding a second computer had nothing to do with it. A second, unrelated issue had to do with my Cannon scanner driver. An old driver version was producing the Console readout about vendor and device. The real issue was that I had experienced a screen freeze and had to to a forced restart. That likely produced the "deep transversal" discussed in the link to which you referred. In any case, waiting an appropriate length of time finally produced the back up. Everything seems normal at this point. Thanks for the help.

  • How do you extend the guest network on a time capsule to an apple express?

    I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

    Sorry, but Apple does not allow the Guest Network to be extended in any way.

  • My Time Capsule gives good speeds to my MacBook but...

    My Time Capsule gives good speeds to my MacBook but not my PC via ethernet though when plugged in the other Time Capsule, just fine...? I can't figure it out. My speed here is supposed to be 32Mbps and my MacBook gets around that via ethernet (all ports tested) and via WiFi. My desktop is a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (hosts all my iTunes) and it gets via ethernet 1.1Mbps if it can even connect to the site. So when I tried my friends Time Capsule, everything is prefectly fine for the PC. Cannot figure it out at all. Any help or tips to try to narrow down the problem would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Open the network settings on the PC.. is it connecting at gigabit?
    Via ethernet you should be running much faster than 30mbps.. that is ok for wireless not ethernet.
    1mbps on PC indicates a real issue.
    Open the admin tools and check networking for errors.. if there are any errors at all something is wrong.
    Turn off ipv6 as that does sometimes also cause issues.
    I have multiple pc and Mac connected without issues.. so I think there is some setting issue going on.

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
    Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
    Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
    Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
    Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
    Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up.

    You are being phished and spammed. Ignore these. If you reply to any of them the result is to give out the password to your iTunes account.

  • Accessing Time Capsule via MobileMe

    Just bought the newest version of Time Capsule. Can't figure out how to access it via MobileMe. I went into the capsule settings in airport utility and put in my password for mobileme login info. Also, back to my mac is turned on. Still, I don't see my time capsule in MobileMe.
    Am I missing something?

    Are you trying to find it by visiting the MobileMe web site? It won't show up there.
    This feature simply makes it show up in your Finder's sidebar under Shared when you are remote.

  • Time Capsule - Can't change network password after 10.6.3 update

    Has anyone else experience an issue changing the Time Capsule network password after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3? If so did you find a work around? After the update I'm no longer able to change the Time Capsule network password when accessing it from Airport Utility. The utility will say that Time Capsule has updated the network password to the new one but when I check keychain it shows the old password. I tried resolving this by deleting the original keychain then changing it again in Airport Utility but it still shows the old password in the keychain and Airport Utility when I reopen the app.

    HI,
    Checkthe vendor site for Snow Leopard compatibility. The developer may need to update their software.

  • I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet.  I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule.  I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

    I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet.  I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule.  I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs.  I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device.  I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using.  It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

    If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
    Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
    On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
    Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
    If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

  • Just bought Time capsule 2tb from apple No Airport CD in the package

    I just bought the time capsule from an Apple store,  The setup manual called about a Airport CD which was not in the package,  I have setup my wifi at home, however I have to setup a Windows Vista (already joined the time capsule) for printing,  The manual stated using the Airport CD to installl Bonjour for windows.
    Should i have a cd with the purchase?
    with my dlink router  (which i just replaced with Time capsule) i was able to set time restrictions for all computers on the wi-fi ,  when to access the web. mac address restrictions,  I do not appear to have that capability with the time capsule.  is this correct?  I configured the time capsule via  the airport utility on my mac,  no additional cd.  by not having the cd am i missing additional confguration parameters that I can tweak?

    by not having the cd am i missing additional confguration parameters that I can tweak?
    No, assuming that you have the most recent version of AirPort Utility, which is 5.5.3. You can open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Utility menu next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
    Click Check for Updates.
    Using the Timed Access feature on the Time Capsule, you can set up individual restrictions for devices that are allowed to connect to the wireless.
    Bonjour for Windows is here:

  • Time capsule for 5 apple tv to play 5 tv at once?

    I have an office with 5 smart tv and I need to play some videos all day long (HD videos very heavy) in the five tv, If I buy a time capsule and 5 apple tv can I play all 5 tv at once? Any other solution?
    Thanks

    Does each TV run a different program or are they all the same?
    Are the TV close to each other if you are running the same material in each one.. you can usually interlink the TVs. Or there are special devices used by every TV retailer in the world to link multiple TV to a single program source. 
    If you have 5 TV and need to be able to run 5 different programs with HD, yes that is possible as long as you use ethernet all the way.. wireless is not going to work.
    The program material cannot be stored on the TC.. it is not a media player. Nor a media storage device, nor anything at all but a dumb hard disk in a router.
    If you already have a router in the network all you need to connect the Apple TV to the computer that must be running iTunes.. is a switch. Gigabit of course.
    I wish you luck on this.. the demands of multiple independent streaming is very high.

  • I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How?

    I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
    I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal.  In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
    How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
    What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook?   Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad?
