Time capsule has flashing orange light? Anyone help please?
Time capsule has flashing orange light and iMac is saying 'backups delayed'? Anyone help please?
Just do a reboot of the TC to start with.. followed by a full network restart.. ie with everything off.. power on in order.. modem.. TC.. clients with 2min gap.
If that doesn't fix it.. you should do a reset of the TC and set it up again.
Tell us more if you still have issues.
Full network layout.
OS you are running.
Firmware on the TC.

Its an 802.11n (4th Gen) model
I looked at the diagnostics screen (next to the blinking orange icon on the Airport Utility and it says there are four issues:
the software (currently V 7.6.1) has an update available. If I click update I get the error message "There was an error connecting to the update server. Check your network settings and try again". However, nothing's been changed settings-wise
The other 3 status issues are:
Internet Connection - but the router is working fine and I can connect to the router via wifi on my MacBook Pro
No DNS Servers - I have no idea what this means
Ethernet Unplugged - it's not and I also replaced the ethernet cable which has no effect
Do I just cut my losses and hit the reset button - if so will I need to back everything up again (i.e. I will no longer be able to access my backups) or do I just set up a new wifi network - again, will this impact on my backups?
Any help/advice would be appreciated - thanksDo a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -
the light on my time capsule keeps flashing orange and green. I know it is supposed to be green how can I get the green light to stay on
Orange and green flashing is unfortunately a failure indication.
How old is the Time Capsule? -
Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.
Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

Flash newbie - can anyone help please?
Hi,
I'm fairly new to Flash (currently on CS3 version) and so far I've managed to create some small and successful movie animations which loop when place on a website. I'd like to take this a bit further and need a little help.
What I'm trying to do is to have a movie which has a intro section which plays for about 15 seconds or so then moves onto the main body of the movie which then loops without showing the intro section again.
Can anyone point me towards a tutorial for this please?
Thanks
Jo
p.s. Apologies if there is a better place to post this – this is my first time here.If this is a continuous timeline animation, then you need to pt an actionscript in the last frame of the timeline to tell it to go back and play from whatever frame you intend it to start from when it loops... using something to the effect of...
gotoAndPlay(frame);
Where "frame" is either a frame number or a frame label (in quotes if so). -
Time Capsule has green light, but unable to access the internet
My Time Capsule has a green light, but all devices (wired and wireless) are not allowed out to the internet.
When I connect my iMac directly to my internet router, I am able to access the internet, so I have isolated the issue to the Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule receives an IP address from my internet router via DHCP and I can see this address in the Time Capsule config, but for some reason the Time Capsule is not allowing internet access to both wired and wireless clients.
Thank you.
--SN124BVerify that you have a working Ethernet cable.
Then verify that the Ethernet cable is connected from one of the LAN <-> ports on your main router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Check again to make sure that the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode
Power cycle the entire network as follows:
Power off all devices in any order you want
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem or modem/router first and let it run a full minute by itself
Start the main router next the same way
Start the Time Capsule the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time until everything is powered back up
Check the network -
Airport Time Capsule keeps turning off light
My Airport time capsule 2gig (2013) model keeps turning off like every 30 mins. I need to unplug and plug it over again to turn on the time capsule.
I connect my airport time capsule to my macbook pro 15inch retina display using the thunderbolt. I'm using osX maverick 10.9.1
while watching youtube I notice that the video stop. then I notice that my airport time capsule has no green light and need to turn it on again to get that green light.
What should I do? Please help!
FYI - I always check my airport utility and there is no updates pending or error warning sign.The TC is faulty.. return ASAP for replacement.

My time capsule has no wifi or lights on but the hard drive is running
CCan any one help please? My time capsule has stopped working, there are no lights being displayed on the unit and there is no wifi output, but I can hear the hard drive running.
Check on the bottom for the model number.. A1409.
This is a standard failure for this model.. you are experiencing the wonders of TC build quality.
If at all possible get apple to replace it. I generally cannot repair this model.. the issue is faulty board.. but you can have a go.. if warranty / applecare is impossible.

Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -
I am having trouble setting up my time capsule. the amber light is flashing. i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function. I just want the Time Capsule to back up.
Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you. -
My Time Capsule has quit backing up - now spends all it's time "preparing". I've tried the Apple suggestion of a reset which does not help. All indicators seems to be OK. Running OS 10.5.8 on G4 Powerbook, Time capule is 1st gen I believe. Any ideas?
Hello,
Thanks for your message, I have attempted to repait the permissions as tou suggested. The first time this produced a long list of exceptions and took quite a while, however although it said "Permissions repair Complete" when I ran it again there were still about 20 exceptions, I have repeated the procedure and this is unchanged. The Time Capsule now does not spend hours "Preparing", but the backup attempt fails after a few minutes with the error message "The backup volume could not be mounted." Any further ideas would be appreciated. When I use Disk Utility I can't see the Time Capsule volume, if I could I'd be tempted to re-format it and start from scratch. -
Airport Time Capsule has no IP address
I just moved to Massachusetts and the Comcast technician who installed my tv/phone/internet package did not install my time capsule properly, or so it seems. He said he would use a standard protocol for installing it but was not sure it would work. It didn't, and the orange light on the front of the time capsule has been flashing now for 48 hours. Also, through Airport Utility I learn it "has no IP address". I might mention the Bright House technician in Palm Coast (FL) and in the AT&T technician in Jacksonville had no trouble getting it to work
I hasten to add this may not be Comcast's fault. I dropped the time capsule from 3 feet onto the floor as I was taking it out of its box. I would be most grateful, assuming it survived the fall, if anyone could suggest how I might get it to work.
Regards.Reset it to factory and start again.
Make sure it is plugged into the main ATT router by ethernet to its WAN port.. ie the one with the circle symbol. (always nearest the power socket).
Now use airport utility and try again.. the airport utility on iOS device is more reliable than 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. -
HT3728 Time capsule has lost power, how do i repair this & recover the files?
The time capsule has lost power, isthere away to reset this so it will operate again, where can i get it repaired if not & can i recoverthe files?
So the TC is dead.. ie no lights on. no body home??
When you plug the power in, look closely at the front and ethernet leds.. do any flash.. or all dead?
Apple will not repair them. If you have applecare on a computer it will be replaced.
Files can be recovered by voiding the warranty and removing the hard disk.. place in usb holder and plug into the computer.

Gen3 if yours is A1355 is probably shorted board .. not a power supply gone bad.. although a repairer would need to look at it.
Here is the repair instructions for A1355 I did.

AFAIK at this point Chris in the UK, and myself in Australia are the only people crazy enough to do it.
If you have an electronics repair type he might help you. It is easy to do.. and so far very successful.. and once fixed have remained good. Happy to give more info if you contact me direct.
If you check the rubber foot and it is earlier model then it is just a dead power supply.
Apple and the apple repair network will throw it away if not under warranty.. if it is under warranty they will still throw it away just they will give you a replacement. -
I have access to the internet through the wifi network on the time capsule, but the led light is not green, it's flashing orange.
The flashing amber light indicates that the Time Capsule has a message for you.
If you can tell us what version of AirPort Utility you are using.....we can tell you how to find the message.
