Time Capsule ip address problem

I have timecapsule needful to change the ip address.
Timecapsule only helps 10.0.0.1, 172.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1 network.
If i want to change the ip address to 171.0.0.1 to any private ip cannot change.
i want to use 171.0.0.1 network.
Can anyone help me to resolve the problem???????

Welcome to the discussion area!
+i want to use 171.0.0.1 network.+
Sorry, but this is not possible with the Time Capsule as you have pointed out that it can only use the 10.0.x.x, 172.0.x.x, or 192.168.x.x ranges.

Trying to resolve a blinking amber light on my Time Capsule. The problem is i don't see the airport utilities under Apps/Utilities..any ideas?

trying to resolve a blinking amber light on my Time Capsule. The problem is i don't see the airport utilities under Apps/Utilities to try and reset..any ideas?

AirPort Utility should be here: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
If it is not there, you can download it from here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
Temporarily, connect an Etherent cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the back of the Time Capsule
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and a window will open to explain why the Time Capsule is complaining along with suggested actions to remedy the issue

Time Capsule/AirPort Express problem with DHCP server

Hi everyone,
I seem to be having some weird issue with my home network. I use a Time Capsule (2011) as my main router and a new AirPort Express as a wireless bridge (router set to "Extend a wireless network", the LAN port is connected to network printer). Recently, it seems that at least once or twice a week that the DHCP server on my router stops working. Computers that have static IP addresses have no problem accessing the internet or my local network, but devices that don't have static IPs are unable to join the network (over Wi-Fi or ethernet) because they are not being assigned an IP. This never happened before. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the recent firmware update. Anybody else seem to be having this problem? I am able to get the DHCP server working again by restarting the Time Capsule or by setting the computer or device that won't connect to a static IP. Really curious why this seems to be happening…
Thanks for all the help guys

I am having the same problem with the same setup: a 2011 Time Capsule and an Airport Express. I've had my Aiport Express hooked in for about 2 years, so I know it is not the problem. The only difference I have is the DHCP will stop working on the ethernet, but still work over WiFi from the TC. Rebooting the Time Capsule fixes the DHCP issue.
I am running version 7.6.4 in the Time Capsule.

Changing Time Capsule IP Address

My internet modem IP address was changed due to recent thunderstorm. Problem now is my time capsule is the old IP address. Can someone let me know where to find my new address at and how do i change it in the time capsule?

By default your Time Capsule will receive an IP Address from your ISP via the Internet modem that it is connected to. That is, typically, because you would have the Time Capsule perform as a DHCP client. (It's default configuration.)
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Time capsule - internet connection problem via wireless

Hi all - I've browsed around many other similar threads about people having difficulties with their Time Capsules, and although some of the problems I'm experiencing are similar, there's a few interesting oddities that other questions don't address or solve.
I have a 1TB Time Capsule that's acting as a router for my network. It's connected via the WAN port to a Netgear DG632 modem/router (in modem mode) that is set up with a static IP address and the DNS server for my ISP. The TC is also set up with these same static IP/DNS details, and is set to share the one public IP address.
The TC serves up DHCP addresses to the LAN devices via a mixture of ethernet (to a G4 Mac mini and to a Linux-based MythTV machine) and wireless (to a couple of 802.11g Airport expresses, a C2D Macbook using OSX Leopard and Windows XP, an iPhone and a Wii).
Everything on the LAN is happy, gets a unique IP address, can see the other devices, and can see the USB hard drives that are connected to the TC.
The weird behaviour comes when things try to actually connect to the internet.
Anything that connects via ethernet to the TC works perfectly. Connecting wirelessly however doesn't work properly - but not in a simple binary working/not-working manner...
If I connect wirelessly, I can do any of the usual network diagnostic things - e.g. Ping, Traceroute, etc. and data gets through and back, using IP address or actual site names.
I can download mail (via the standard Mail application, v3.5, from Gmail using IMAP)
I can even load secure webpages (i.e. those that use https, such as https://mail.google.com)
What I CANNOT do however is load any "normal" webpages (e.g. http://mail.google.com)
When loading a webpage, there is a brief period of data transfer (e.g. Camino reports "looking up ...", "connecting to ...", "waiting for ...") and then it just stops, and eventually the browser times out.
Other problems that people have reported have been solved by changing the DNS servers used - either to specify their ISP ones directly, or to use something like OpenDNS. My problem doesn't seem to be related to the DNS servers - to my mind, this sounds like some kind of outgoing port-blocking, but there ain't no such beastie on the TC as far as I'm aware, and since it is only happening on any device that connects wirelessly I'm pretty confident that I can rule out any local settings on a particular machine, or any settings on the modem.
I've tried several things to try and fix this, as follows:
Reset TC and modem
Factory-reset TC and set up again
Downgrade TC to 7.3.1 and set up again
Re-upgrade TC to 7.3.2 and set up again
Remove all wireless security (usually use WPA/WPA2 Personal)
Change wireless mode from 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) to 802.11n only (2.4GHz)
Change wireless mode from 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) to 802.11n only (5GHz)
Change wireless channel (Automatic, 6, 11)
Obviously none of that worked, so can anyone think of anything else that I can try and change to get this working?
For what it's worth, everything was happy until Thursday last week (11th Dec) and the only thing that I changed was an upgrade to Safari on the Mac mini, which seems extremely unlikely to have been responsible for causing such pain and anguish!
Thanks for bearing with me through all this - hopefully I've covered off all of the basics already, but I'm now not sure where that leaves me...
Cheers!

Something somehow fixed the problem a couple of days after my post - although I didn't know what triggered it (like I don't know what triggered the failure). I changed my set-up so that the Time Capsule was just a wireless bridge, and used the DG632 as the router and DHCP server - and obviously something worked OK.
Unfortunately the same problem happened again the day before yesterday, and after roping in the help of my ISP I determined that there wasn't a problem with the connection outside my LAN, so it was obviously something weird with my set-up.
After much frustration, rebooting, resetting, and fiddling, I spotted that occasionally a small burst of data would be received - perhaps enough to load an icon or small image - before everything froze up. On a hunch, I started playing with the MTU - and glory be! After the MTU is reduced from the default/automatic 1500 to 1458 everything works perfectly... except the Time Capsule no longer shows up!!! ARGH!!
I don't even recall ever seeing an MTU setting on the Time Capsule, and there definitely isn't one on the DG632 (don't most recent devices not require MTU tweaks? They just pass on the whole packet as-is?) so I've got no idea how to get around this issue now.
So much for stuff just working

Time Capsule DSL configuration problem

I have a TC and have a problem with the DSL PPPoE configuration. First, I am in Brasil so that in itself can be a problem. I use Telephonica and have Modem configured but when I set the configuration for the TC with the PPPoE sign in info I cannot access the network from my MacBook Pro. I can from my Dell notebook but have to have a extra network connection that signs into to the DSL account at telephonica. When I set the TC to an ethernet connection then I can access with the MacBook with it's own account sign in. This is a pain. I have to sign into two accounts to get on the internet. Anybody got any ideas?

Hello Kinn. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The bottom line is that only the device directly connected to the DSL service is required to provide the PPPoE credentials. Typically this is done either by the modem or the Internet router (like your Time Capsule). It can also be accomplished by a network client connected directly to the modem as well.
When you have Dell laptop connected directly to the modem, is the Dell configured to provide the PPPoE credentials? If so, then it would be appropriate to configure the TC the same way when it is directly connected to the modem.
If, on the other, hand the modem is providing the credentials, then you just need to make sure that the TC is configured for "Using DHCP" to get its IP addresses from the ISP.

Time Capsule Volume identification problem

I have another Time Capsule posting "The backup volume could not be mounted". I think I may have isolated the problem, but need a solution.
It seems to me that my Time Capsule problem boils down to the correct Volume not being identified, thus stopping any Time Machine activity. If I look at the items listed in my router's Network Information page I can see the Time Capsule listed multiple times, sometimes connected, sometimes not. They all have unique (and usually consecutive) IP addresses.
This is obviously incorrect, but how can I rectify it? I have tried repairing the sparsebundle in Disk Utility, but it always progresses to about halfway and then stalls. I would prefer not to have to erase the whole TC, but if this would allow me to start again with the problem solved, then that, of course, would be the way to go.
Is this an annoying glitch, or indicative of a major problem with TC failure imminent? It is under warranty, so I can get it seen to if necessary.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Update: The TC has been returned and identified as 'faulty'. A replacement is on the way. I guess it's indicative of my faultless fifteen years of many, many Apple products, that I never even considered that a fault might have been the cause of all this grief !

Time Capsule set-up problems

I've connected the Time Capsule with the Ethernet to both my iMac and Macbook and managed to get the initial backups of both made, however I am having problems connecting to the Time Capsule to the Airport network.
We have an Airport Extreme connected to our cable modem. This is setup as a WDS main, with an Airport Express setup as a Remote. Passwords are set as WEP 128 bit so that I can connect my Nintendo DS to the network.
On every setting so far, apart from "Extend a network" the Time Capsule picks up an IP address of 169.* rather than getting the 10.0.1.* address.
Any suggestions?

jbullis,
Welcome to the Apple discussion!
Try the following:
*_Time Capsule Has Disappeared from Airport Utility / Amber Light_*
*Restart Your ISPs Modem*
If you are using the Time Capsule as your only router then power down your ISPs modem and then your Time Capsule. Next turn your modem back on first. Let it initialize and acquire an IP address (about 30-60 seconds) and then turn your Time Capsule back on. Sometimes when you add devises, the modem will not forward the IP address assigned by your ISP until it has been restarted.
Next,
*Cycle Airport Preferences*
Open Network Preferences.
Click “Turn Airport Off”, wait 10 seconds.
Now click “Turn Airport On”. Close Prefs.
Does it now show up in Airport Utilities?.
If not go to the “File” menu and select “Rescan”.
Does it appears now?.
If not, unplug the TC, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in.
Does the TC show up now in Airport Utility?
Let us know if this helps.
Cheers!

Please help - Time Capsule Set up problems

I bought a Time Capsule almost a year ago at the same time as my iMac, but have only tried to set it up in the last 3 weeks (so its the 6"x6"x1" version). I followed the set up instructions numerous times but kept getting an error message in Airport Utility. I rebooted my broadband and tried the factory reset of the TC.
Eventually I contacted Apple and after repeating everything whilst they were on the phone, they made an appointment for me at the Genius Bar to have the TC checked over. The Apple rep was able to access the TC using the internal Apple network and a normal port but had the same problem I did using the WAN connection so deemed the item faulty and replaced it.
My new TC is exactly the same and this time Apple advised me to ask my BB provider if there were any firmware updates required or reasons why I would be having problems. They also checked that I had the latest iMac software and Airport Utility. BT (my BB provider) went through a series of tests and concluded that my BT Home Hub 3 was faulty and have replaced it.
So now I have a new Home Hub 3 and another new TC and I've still got the same problem. I only want to use the TC for backing up my iMac with Time Machine but Id like to do it wirelessely. Can someone please tell me what I should do next as I can't believe its still down to faulty products.

I have just been watching Internet traffic on my McAfee security software on my BB and it shows that my router and TC both have a green light for access through the firewall, until Airport Utility gets to the point in its routine where it shows 'joining to the TC' and then my router loses access to the Internet and gets a red light as connection lost. Is that normal, and/or does it help diagnose what the problem might be?

New External Drive connected to Time Capsule moving files problem

I have a late 2009 13" unibody MacBook Pro, that I primarily use for video editing/converting. I use my Time Capsule as a network through which I can connect to my external hard drives via USB for videos and such. I've used at least two other external hard drives along with my Time Capsule for a year and a half with very few problems, aside from the inevitable crash of one. Before yesterday, I had a 1TB Western Digital MyBook (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=210) and a 2TB Verbatim Desktop HD (http://www.verbatim.com/prod/hard-drives/desktop/usb-2.0/) connected through my 1TB Time Capsule and aside from the Verbatim drive being rather sluggish most of the time, everything was working fine.
Yesterday, I got a new external drive, an iOmega MiniMax 2TB (http://go.iomega.com/en-us/products/external-hard-drive-desktop/ultramax-minimax /minimax800/?partner=4760). I spent yesterday and most of today moving files around and whatnot through a wired connection (iOmega via firewire 800, Verbatim via USB, MyBook via USB, and Time Capsule via Ethernet), and everything moved quickly and without any problems.
I hooked my Time Capsule up to my modem, plugged in the iOmega and Verbatim drives via USB to the TC, and started my laptop. When I opened the drives, everything was working fine... And then I tried to move a file to the iOmega drive... I was moving an episode of The Killing. I dragged it into the folder and went to Safari to look something up and suddenly realized ten minutes later that I still hadn't heard the noise telling me that the file had finished. I looked at the move dialogue box and it said "156.8 MB of 323.8 MB - About 10 Seconds". I watched it for another ten minutes and it didn't move. So I clicked cancel move and the rainbow wheel of death came up and I had to force reboot my computer.
When I restarted, I opened up finder to access the drives through my Time Capsule, and it "failed to connect" to my Time Capsule. So I went back into my office to flip the switch on the surge protector in order to restart the process. I turned on my computer and I had no problem accessing my hard drives... Until I tried to move an episode of United States of Tara into the iOmega hard drive. This time, it said, "192.5 MB of 202.6 MB - About 5 Seconds" and completely stopped moving again. And the same thing happened when I clicked the little grey "x" to cancel the move.
I repeated the process several more times with no luck. Then I thought it might help to see if it does the same thing with documents. So I dragged just a random document to the iOmega and it took about 30 seconds, but it did it successfully. So I tried to move the episode of The Killing again and I let it go for, like, 25-30 minutes. After this time, I got a notification from finder saying, "Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "[the file]" can't be read or written. (Error Code -36)". Then when I went back into the "Shared" part of the sidebar to go back into my Time Capsule folder, it said "Connection Failed"
So what exactly does this mean? Are the Time Capsule and iOmega not compatible? Can I only move the files through a wired connection [which would be unfortunate]? Do I need to rejigger the USB configuration? Is the error code just for these two episodes and it's just a random coincidence that it happened the day after I got a new drive?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

I have attached the macbook to the tc via ethernet cable. Should I turn off my wireless connection or will itunes recognize to go with the faster connection on it's own?
You MBP will try to connect based on the order of the list of network devices on the System Preferences > Network window. If Ethernet is not at the top of the list, then go ahead and temporarily disable AirPort.
After all this is done will the wireless connection be fast enough for normal itunes operation?
For audio streaming it should be, but just be aware that your iTunes host will have to get the audio source wirelessly from the TC, which in turn will have to get the data from the USB hard drive. Finally, the iTunes host will have to wirelessly stream the iTunes audio via AirTunes to the AirPort Express.

I can not connect my phone to time capsule..whats problem ?

my phone is connected to time capsule but no data is transfer,,,whast problem
time capsule is connect to my mac .and i can use internet ,but i cannot use for my phone...how can i solve it ?

Phones are more sensitive to wireless setup than the computer.. also the computer can use 5ghz.. only the latest iphones have 5ghz. I presume by phone you do mean iphone. Andoid phones actually have some wireless bugs..
Anyhow.. redo the setup of the TC.
Use all SMB names.. for everything (SMB just means windows networking.. it is the lowest common denominator.. everything works with SMB).
So names that are short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
eg. Time Capsule name. TC
Wireless name for 2.4ghz TC24ghz
Wireless name for 5ghz TC5ghz (yes, use a different name for 5ghz).
Hard disk share name.. Data (that is now default but occasionally different).
On v5 utility which you can still load into lion and works much better than later v6 utility.
Also set to fixed radio channels.. try in order, 11, 6, 1.
Tell us if you still have issues.
Did this just happen with the new firmware update to the TC?
What model TC.. A1xxx from the rubber base mat??
What OS is the computer running and what Airport Utility?

Time Capsule Wifi Internet Problems

I have a 1st Gen 1 TB Time Capsule that has worked perfectly for over a year (up until a few days ago).
The problem is this: All my wfi clients can connect to my wireless network, but they cannot connect to the internet. On the two Macbooks in the house, the error shows up as "no internet connection". ALL of my ethernet connected devices CAN connect to the internet, so the issue is limited to the TC and wifi.
The only way to fix it is to unplug the TC and reboot it. It will then work fine for several hours, and the problem will come back.
The TC diagnostics report that everything is working fine. I made NO changes to my TC settings prior to this problem surfacing. It simply worked fine one day, and didn't the next.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Welcome to the discussions!
The symptoms you describe likely point to wireless interference from another wireless network, cordless phones, or even a nearby security system.
It will be difficult to locate the exact source of interference, but a utility like iStumbler may help provide some clues.
If you elect to download and install the application, there are two things to look for at this point. Note the signal% strength of your network and noise% on your network. Also look for any other wireless networks that may be using the same channel or a close adjacent channel to your wireless network. If that's the case, change the channel on your wireless to see if that helps provide a signal with less interference.
If you have cordless phones, pick a time when you can power them off for a few hours to see if your wireless performance improves. As an example to illustrate the problems that cordless phones can create, my neighbor....across the street...can literally knock me off my wireless network if he's in his front hard and his cordless phone rings.

Time capsule port forwarding problem.

I'm trying to portforward minecraft the game to my LX195 hp mediasmart home server but everytime i do 25565 FOR all of the public and private UDP and TCP's and update it with my home servers static ip it doesn't work i always use canyouseeme.org to check if it's open and 25565 (the port) is always closed or connection refused
Please help!
Thanks

1. Find your computer's IP address. In system preferences, click on "Network.: Then click on either Ethernet or Airport (depending on how you're connected to your network). Your IP address will be listed on the right and will likely be something like 10.0.1.3.
2. Open Airport Utility, select your time capsule and select "Manual Setup." Click on the "Advanced" button, then on the "Port Mapping" tab. Click the + to make a new port map.
3. Enter the port mapping information as followed:
Service: Choose a Service (This doesn't matter)
Public UDP Ports: 6890-6900
Public TCP Ports: 6890-6900
Private IP Address: 10.0.1.3 (This must be your IP address that you found in step 1)
Private UDP Ports: 6890-6900
Private TCP Ports: 6890-6900
4. Click "Continue." Type in a description such as "MSN" and then click "Done." The other fields do not mater. Click "Update" at the bottom of airport utility to update these new settings.
Once your airport device has restarted, the ports should then be forwarded.
If this doesn't work properly, it is possible that your time capsule is connected to the internet through another router or router/modem. You must turn off the routing functions on either of the routers.
You can also try enabling the default host in airport utility. This should forward all ports to a computer's IP address. Find it in Airport Utility / Manual Setup / Internet / NAT. Enter your computer's IP address in the "Enable Default Host At:" box and update.

Time Capsule External HD problem

Hi all,
I just started having a problem today with my external HD (EHD) when connected via USB to my Time Capsule. I figured that one of the programs I was running corrupted some files on the EHD, so when I could no longer access the drive, I plugged it into the iMac, ran a disk utility and fixed the problems. It fixed some entries, but when I plugged it back into the TC, the TC said there were problems. I said ignore the problem, so it is ignoring the drive. Since I couldn't access it, I plugged it back into the iMac, copied all the data to my internal HD and then reformatted the disk. I also made sure that the partition scheme was GUID and all that checked out. When I go into the TC (even when the EHD is not connected) it still lists an entry for the EHD even though no drive is available. When I do plug the drive in, nothing happens.
My questions are:
- When you tell the TC to ignore problems, is there a way to un-ignore the problems?
- Do you know what might be wrong with my EHD and why I can't hook it up to the TC?
- Why would the TC keep an entry for connected disks even when it's not there? Can I remove the entry somehow?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
- Chris

I think I solved my own problem. The solution was to reboot the TC and the drive entry went away.

Time Capsule archive/HD problem

I have just purchased an Iomega 2TB external HD to use for archiving my Time Capsule. However, when I connect it to the Time Capsule, Airport Utility tells me there's a disk problem with the external HD.
When I reconnect it to my Mac and run Disk Utility, it tells me the HD is fine (and, indeed, it seems to work fine too). Even if I erase and reformat the external HD (Mac OS extended/journaled), the same problem reoccurs when I connect it to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
Ideas?

Problem solved.. I had to reformat the disk again with the partitions set to 1, not "current"
