Time Capsule Issue Help!!!!!

I had a time macbook for 3 yrs! About a week ago it got liquid damage and was replaced. I used time machine for backup and wireless connections. In the past I have looked multiple times and seen my content was back up. Today after setting up my new macbook pro and time capsule back up to it. I went to go transfer files from time capsule and there was nothing but the current back ups from todays date. I had to perform a soft reset to set up a new password. From my understanding a soft reset doesnt erase previous backups it just allow seeting changes to be made. I need someone help because all my photos, video and import information is in that time capsule (or not). HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!

How did you set up your new Mac? The best way is to use Setup Assistant to load everything from the backups. See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC?
Depending on how you set it up, and what you've done since then, the reason you can't see the old backups is because they're for a different Mac. Time Machine normally only shows the backups for the Mac it's running on. To see backups for a different Mac, you need the Browse... option per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.

Time Machine/Time Capsule issues

I have had a never ending series of Time Machine/Time Capsule issues. There's little to configure, so there's not much I could be doing wrong.
One thing I have especially noticed, is that Time Machine is interfering with iTunes. iTunes has frozen for a time or locked up when Time Machine is backing up.
Another problem I have seen is the console log flooded with some sort of waiting for index error. Yet another are messages like -
"Jul 14 14:43:56 MJBook /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[176]: StatusMonitor::volumesChangedCallBack returned -47"
The only thing I have ever found odd about my situation is that I am running a Time Machine and three other Airport Express devices. One of the Airport Express units uses WDS, and I heard that could create issues.
Any ideas?

I have the same question and I see you posted yours in March. So this forum is REALLY helpful...
My Mac consultant doesn't use either so is not much help. He says to erase T.C. and start over, but it also contains all my backups for my other Mac which have worked perfectly. When I select T.C. in T.M. the only option is to Remove Disk; I want to save the MacBook backups. I also tried wireless as he suggested but got the same warnings as above so went back to Ethernet. Plus nobody can tell me how to access T.C. in Disk Utility to try to fix it.

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.

Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

Help with time capsule issues please

Hi all
Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
I will give you a little background info as it may be relevant.
At home we had 2 MacBook pro's that backed up to a 2tb time capsule all worked well, wifi and back ups. Unfortunately both MacBooks where in boot/trunck of the car while we where traveling and the boot had a terrible leak that I was unaware of and both MacBooks where water damaged tried drying them out but both where beyond repair. (Devastation is not the word especially as the car insurance would not pay out)
Unable to replace both MacBooks We continued to use the time capsule as a wireless router for both our iPhones then after 6 months or so the Internet would go off and the orange flashing light would come on. I just thought it needed reset and so switched it off and back on. Sure enough green light and all is well this became more and more frequently until the orange light stayed on regardless of what I do with no Internet. I've connected an old router which is working fine.
The good news is that after a year without a MacBook I have a new one arriving tommorow. My main concern is the data on the TC I don't want to loose it but i don't know what to do?
These are my options as I see it but again any suggestion welcome.
1)I unpack the new MacBook pro set it up as normal then connect to the TC and check airport utility and hopefully this will tell me it just needs a firmware update. Install the update for TC reboot and check the green light is on, then to a fresh install for the mac and re-install the MacBook from the TC.
2) when booting up the new MacBook try and find the TC when it asks for it and hope all goes well and it transfers my old MacBook data onto my new one.
As I say any help or advise would be greatly appreciated, please note my primary concern is not loosing the data on the TC from my old MacBook
Thanks for all the replys in advance

It sounds like your TC has become unreliable.. is it a series 1?
You might need to get it repaired, as it can take several hours to get the backups off the drive.
Check in UK for local repairers.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repairers
It is just the power supply gone faulty and repair or replacement should get it going again. The data stored on the hard drive should be ok. Restoring the files from the old TM should be ok.
The instructions here are extremely helpful for how to recover particular files. As your new laptop will be Lion and you don't want to recover the old OS.. just the various files you had stored.

Time Capsule Issues: Please Help

my set up:
1 extreme base station|2 expresses| 1 time capsule| comcast ISP| time capsule is setup to join the excisting network...i know apple does not recommend this but it is my only option....
issue: it was working fine for about a week...now time capsule keeps loosing connection...light stays green however...unplugging and plugging back in it works for a few minutes...then drops out again....

well the situation has gotten worse after the update. After updating i was hoping some of my issues may have been resolved...they were not in fact they are worse....
so i restarted the TC so that i could see in the utility for those few minutes i have access to it...it updated and restarted..but never really restarted...it just blinks yellow now..
so i pressed the little reset button in the back...went to factory default..and i set it up agian...the same way i had it...and now it says the TC has been updated and it is restarting it never comes back up...
i am extremely frustrated...this is by far my worst apple product experience...wait times for TC support by phone are over 30 mins each time....and two of the three techs i have talked to were practically ********...i know its not the ones for fault for barely speaking english...but come on..you should still know how to trouble shoot for god's s

Mac Crashes in the middle of Time Capsule backup --HELP!

Been using time capsule for several months without any issues. In fact, it has been great until recently. A week or so ago, my MacBookPro began crashing in the middle of a time capsule back up. Just suddenly the MAC curtain comes down and tells me I must restart. When I restart I get an error message which I have copied into this message. I tried erasing a whole months worth of backups but still get the same problem........is it possible my MAC has gotten a virus?? Anyone who can help, your comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

Got this problem fixed. It seems the 10.5.3 update corrupted the update somehow. You can perform a disk image repair on the existing backup or just delete all your old back ups and start from scratch which is exactly what I did. Good luck!

Time capsule issues backing up more than one MacBook Pro

Hi all,
i'm having an issue with a new 3Gb Time Capsule i've just bought and put online, I wonder if someone would be able to help please.
I am trying to back up 3 MacBooks, a 2011 macbook pro, a 2012 macbook pro and a 2012 Macbook Air, they are all running Mountain Lion.
My main macbook has worked fine and I have backed up the drive a few times without any real issue, however when I try and back up one of the other two onto the same Time Capsule, I get the error, "the backup disk image "/volumes/data/.sparsebundle" could not be accessed"
I've had a look around all the forums to see if I can see a potential problem and fix, however I can't find anywhere that says it works fine for the first backup but not for any other ones!?
The only other option I have seen is to completely remove the data backup and start again, but I don't really want to do that unless theres no other options.
Hope you can help, thanks in advance.
Oh and one other thing which i've seen, is that you can't backup more than one system unless you re-partition the Time Capsule!? Surely this isn't correct???

You do not have to partition the TC.. indeed you cannot..
But the issue with Lion or ML losing the sparsebundle is now as common as dust in a drought.
Yes, it can do a backup then fail to do another.. and there is no reason for it other than poor networking on later OS.
Reboot the TC.. and maybe the whole network. Reminds you of that initial support question for another OS.. did you turn it off and on again...??

Time Capsule Connection Help Needed (Flashing Amber)

Guys,
I've been trying to troubleshoot my Time Capsule connection for a week now and I have had zero luck.
I have a Imac with OSX 10.6.8 that uses AirPort v 5.6.1. I have a Cat-5 (ethernet cable) plugged from my Time Capsule port (looks like this <-->) into an available port in my cable mode/router. My Imac is also plugged into this router. The two cat-5 (ethernet) cables are side by side.
So....
Every time I plug in the Time Capsule I get the following prompt via AirPort.
AirPort Utility found a Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Generation) that is
reporting problems.
Time Capsule's Name : My Capsule
          IP Address: 10.0.1.1
          Versino: 7.6.1
          AirPort ID: 12:88:93:CC:FF:72
If this is not the AirPort wireless devise you want to setup you can select another from the list on the left. If you don't see it make sure.... Blah blah blah....
To make a long story tollerable I do see my Time Capsule on the left at the top. Its the only one and its selected by default. So I do the next logical thing right? I click "Continue" and AirPort reads the Time Capsule's configuration.... and then...... I get the error
An error occurred while reading the configuration.
Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged
in and in range of your computer or connected via
Ethernet and try again. (-6753)
Can anyone help me understand why I can grab the Time Capsule's IP Address but AirPort can not read the hardware's (Time Capsule) config?
I'm at a loss.
Could my ethernet cable be the issue?

Hackintosh,
Thanks man... Yes, I plugged it into the circle symbol with no joy. I also went to Wal Mart and baught a new seven foot cat-5 for $10. Again I still have the flashing amber light.
After plugging in the ethernet cable into the circle icon port AirPort returns the following prompt.
I reset the TC (ball point pen to the reset hole untill fast blinking amber light occurs) and entered the needed params and it returns this error.
An error occured close the configuation window and try again.
It must be a config parameter that I'm setting incorrectly. There's a bunch so who knows what I'm doing wrong.
I just need the to talk to my Imac so i can get a backup executed. A wireless connection will take too long.
FYI: The cat-5 is brand new and is 100% functional (green light on the TC and router.)

Remote Access (internet) to Time Capsule Issue

Hi and tnxs for reading,
after having tried a lot of suggestions on the internet about how to make TC file sharing working remotely, I am writing here because I am still looking for a solution!!
I have my TC bridged via ethernet to my DSL router (given from my internet provider).
I am using for all my devices TC WiFi, for local network and internet.
I activated Back to my mac on TC and to my Mac.
I can see my TC files when connected on my local WiFi, however, if I connect to the internet through another network, although I can see my Time Capsule on the left column of my finder, if I click on it, the connection fails.
Maybe it notoworthy to say that on System Preferences, iCloud, back to My Mac, I have a note saying that in order to improve the network, i should use use port mapping or upnp. Now, I cannot activate upnp on my router, but I can do port mapping, as i am doing for video surveillance stuff or similar things. However, I have tried to open ports suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4907 but nothing at all...
Please, help!!!
PS: I would like to remotely connect to my airport devices through Airport Utility but it is not working aswell, and I think it is due to the same issue.
I'd really appreciate to be helped in this issue.

Sorry with time differences this is going to take a while.
I am going to need to work through some of the scenario myself.. my main concern is that BTMM may simply not work with the TC in bridge.
When people run into trouble.. eg here. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
Alot of the problems come from the TC being in bridge. If you cannot get the TC to be the main router.. due to the kind of setup you have, then direct access method to the TC is the only way to do it.
5) The main thing I'd like to do is to have access to my TC HD from the internet.
That gives you what you mainly want at point 5.. access to the TC HD.
1) I rebooted my computer after turning of my BTMM on airport express. I kept on on my TC and in my iCloud Setting.
So the TC is now the only item that has BTMM set??
But no luck?? You didn't give me a result.
2) The brand of my modem is ELSAG DATAMAT, model ARGO55+, provided by FASTWEB internet provider (I need it to have internet).
I will look this up. Appears to be ikanos based adsl modem. But all the details are in other languages.. so it is hard for me to get exact details. Does it have dyndns client available of some sort? As this is essential if you don't have a static public IP.
3) the msg "Chk your router setting to improve speed NAT-UPNP" is on my mac, in iCloud BTMM setting, and I got it in all these cases: a) connected to TC WiFi bridged to my router with 548 TCP open b) Personal Hotspot iPhone 3) US Robotics with UPNP plug&play activated.
So this means that in every case even with the iphone as hotspot.. so this is completely different to your ADSL internet connection BTMM still fails?? There is not one single configuration that works.
Perhaps you need to ring your local Apple support and see if they can figure this out. To me.. a single computer.. plugged into a modem directly.. of whatever kind, adsl or 3G or whatever.. that gets a public IP should be able to do BTMM.. but could apple be blocked in your country.
The exercise I did via the direct connection is to prove there is no block by ISP to actually connect to the TC.. which you said worked.. but there can be other blocks.
It could fail if your ISP gives you a private IP address.. same btw for the adsl connection.
You will need to check by doing a traceroute to say Google DNS server, 8.8.8.8 and see if you are connected via a private IP.. you cannot access a LAN from a double NAT which results.
4) if I am not supposed to do configurations through the net, what is the reason to have a back to my mac iCloud setting available on my Airport Express which has no hard drives and the only feature associated with BTMM is remote configuration?
If you get remote access to change a configuration.. and you make the slightest mistake.. you will not be able to access it again until you get home. So I am unsure what configuration changes to your local lan at home you need to make from remote location. Remembering that a single wrong move will lock you out permanently.
Can you please explain why you need this??

Time Capsule Issue : 3 hours to copy 800 meg

Hello,
I am using my time capsule as a router and to store my media.
Right now i am trying to read a media from it but cant make it cause it's too slow.
I am now trying to copy it to my hdd and the speed is 104 Kbs per second.
The time capsule is in an other room 5 meter near, i use an aiport express to make the relay.
Would you have any idea how to fix this issue ?
thx

Describe the network a bit more.
That computer/device is the express connected to.
Why not use wireless directly to the TC.. why are you using Express?
How is the TC connected to main modem, running in what mode? Could you rearrange the network and place it next to the device and use the express as the router? Direct ethernet is always hugely better than wireless links.
Is the express a new one or the older N one.. actual model number will help.
Did you upgrade everything to 7.6.3 firmware.. that is really poor.. and especially for this kind of setup.
Did this work better before upgrade.. if you already had it setup?
Are you using apple extend wireless or join a wireless network?
Get a 5M or however long you need ethernet cable and test it.

Just bought new time capsule- need help setting up WiFi network with another router

Here ismy situation.
I had a wireless network setup up at home using a Belkin wifi router.
I have 2 macBooks (1 pro, 1 air) and 2 iphones that connect wirelessly and a desktop PC that is hard wired to the ethernet port. In addition, I have a Verizon wireless network extender plugged in by ethernet. All of the hard-wired gear is in our 3rd floor attic office (and the wireless signal was strong throughout the house).
The Belkin wifi router was plugged into a wall ethernet jack that is in turn wired into a Linksys router in the basement (along with multiple other ethernet ports througout the house) and is hardwired to the Cable modem next to it. All of the hard-wired ethernet stuff (including the router in the basement) was there when we bought the house, and I have no clue in the tangle of wires how to sort them out (but don't really think I need to)
I just purchased a TimeCapsule to do wireless backups of my 2 macbooks, and tried to set it up alongside the existing wireless modem.
Needless to say, this did not work well. I called AppleCare, and was told that the TimeCapsule needs to be the "1st" wireless adapter, so I went into the basement, and connected the time capsule directly to the cable modem, and then out to the basement router. The Belkin router still needs to be in the attic to supply the PC and the Verizon adapter (so it is near a window for GPS signal).
If I try to name the WiFi network the same SSID on both the TC and the belkin router (to have dual signal strenth coverage) the whole thing gets messed up and the TC cannot be "found" by the aiprort Utility software.
What I have done now is that I have 2 side-by-side wireless networks with 2 unique names (actually 3, because I enabled the 5Ghz signal on the TC), but our wireless devices do not "switch" automatically from one SSID to another stronger signal SSID as we move through the house
Here's the question: How do I name them the same so that the devices will switch effortlessly to the stongest signal? I understand it involves switching the "channels" but don't know how to do it right now. Currently, everything works, so I don't want to mess it up tinkering. Another caveat- there are several other wireless networks from neighbors houses that I can "see". I jsut downloaded a program called iStumbler that shows the channels, but not sure what to do with that info.
Any advice would be appreciated.

OK.. sounds like a mess.. or at least messy and the previous people should have left a log book with all the IP address info in it.. you have far too many routers.. but from here it is impossible to tell how they are configured. Most are probably just setup as AP.
Naming rule for wireless.. Same SSID same security different channel.
SSID ie wireless name to work on the PC side should have no spaces and no special characters. TC name should also follow that rule. So the devices need to all set with fixed channels.
Don't worry too much about iStumbler and what is outside your house.. there isn't enough channels at 2.4ghz anyway. And you are going to need to use them all. There are only three non-overlapping channels. 1, 6, 11 so set each device to one of those channels. The TC should be as close as you can to where you normally use the MacBooks.. and turn on the 5ghz. You will have to leave it to automatic name so the Macbook can also roam across from 2.4 to 5ghz. But if you care to use a different name and force it onto 5ghz the speed is much better as long as you are in the same room.
Roaming is great in theory.. often in practice it just doesn't work.. you need to step in and turn off wireless and then turn it back on.. you can quickly see which router it is connecting to by hold down the option key when you click the airport fan in the top menu area.. and look at bssid.. you will have to figure out which number MAC address relates to which router.
Also do not be surprised if Lion gives you issues. It seems to often drop out and lose connection to the TC as a backup device even if internet is still working.

Time Machine getting real-only error on 2TB Time Capsule --- Please Help

Hi,
My MacPro is running 10.6.2. I bought a 2TB Time Capsule on August 1st, 2009. The TC has been running okay, but painfully slow. On Tuesday, Nov 24th, 2009, the Time Machine reported that the TC is read-only now. I've spent 5 days, including Thanksgiving Day, researching and trying to resolve this problem. To my surprise this problem goes back several years.
I have tried all the solutions without success. I cannot afford to lose the sparse bundle on TC --- it's 1.56TB in size.
My home/office LAN includes a Linksys BEFSR81 Router, 2TB Time Capsule, an iMac G5, and my MacPro. That's all there is. The router is connect to the Internet through a Comcast Cable.
The TC was configured using the Airport Utility. The password is set at the TC level. The password is also set "Guests" (something I found in my research). Wireless is turned off because I'm using an Ethernet LAN.
Now the following is very Strange!!!
(1) Click on MacPro in the side bar. The Data disk is shown with a "lock" in the icon. It has only one permission: Everyone "No Access". I'm unable to change the permission.
(2) Click on the boot drive and make invisible files visible. Expand Volumes. Get Indo on the Data "folder". The permissions are:
everyone - read/write
don (Me) - read/write
admin - read/write
everyone - read only
There are 2 "everyone" entries!!! I can't remove either of them. I wonder if the second "everyone" is the problem?
Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this read-only problem?
Is there a bug in the firmware? My TC version is 7.4.2.
Please help!
Thank you,
Don Leckie

Disk Utility didn't report any errors. I checked the log too.
The disk "Data" in TimeCapsule can be opened using the Finder.
The sparsebundle for the MacPro can be opened and each backup folder is accessible and can be written to. But TimeMachine still says that the TimeCapsule is read-only.
The sparsebundle for the iMac G5 cannot be opened from the Finder. The error message is that I don't have sufficient privileges. Trying from both the MacPro and iMac G5. TimeMachine still says the TimeCapsule is read-only.
I tried using fsck_hfs to try fixing the permissions. But I got the message that the disk Data was not a character device; whatever that implies.
Tomorrow I'm putting a call into Apple Support.
Thank you for your help!

Time Capsule: Need help accessing my video surveillance DVR from the Internet.

I am using the latest 4th Generation Time Capsule attached to a DSL Modem. My 4 video Survilance DVR is connected to a switch then to the Time Capsule. How or what is needed to be able to access the DVR via the internet. I am able to access the DVR from within the home network only. Would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

Is the modem bridged?
If not and working in router mode then the TC should be bridged.. this will never work if you have double NAT.
Whichever box is the main router will need to forward the required ports for the camera dvr.. does the software use port 80 ie html?? That means you just forward port 80 to the IP address of the dvr. But find out the port.. the dvr instructions should tell you. Port forwarding on the TC.. ain't hard.. just google for the instructions. If the dsl modem is router, read its manual.
You will need to lock the ip of the dvr so it doesn't shift. Do that in the router if possible but I am not sure you can on the TC. You will need to do it on the device using a static ip.
The other thing is public IP .. do you have a static public address.. if not you will need to run dyndns. this is not available in the TC.. as most things are not available. So you will also need to check the dvr remote access instructions as it might have a dyndns client.. or you will have to use dsl modem as router even if you currently bridge it.
Sorry this is making it complicated.
Give some feedback and we can go from there.
What is the main router?
What modem is it exactly?
What make and model is the DVR? A URL to the pdf manual will help if it gets complicated.
What port do you use to access the DVR?
Is there a dyndns client in the dvr?

Time Capsule Issues

I have a macbook pro and an air that backs up to the time capsule. I close the lids on both when I go to bed at night, when i open up the macbook pro in the morning I get a "the backup disk image could not be mounted" the only way to fix this is to reboot the macbook pro, then it backs up just fine. The air does not have this issue. Any idea what could be doing this? It's been working fine for 6 months, then all of a sudden it started doing this. If I go and try to mount the sparse bundle manually it says the resource is not available.

My Time Capsule Issues

Hello friends,
Today I purchased a 1TB Time Capsule, in hope of using it with my new Macbook. I have reached home, and followed the guidelines accordingly, only to be left with a string of problems on this occasion.
I have tried the hard reset trick, as well as plugging it into my router and utilizing Airport Utility to facilitate a connection, however there has not been any luck so far in connecting the drive.
I am looking to connect the TC as a wireless hard drive and add it to my existing network. When I try to connect wirelessly, it is possible to obtain a green light, but with nothing showing in Time Machine. I have had the TC set up it's own network, however this does not speak with my current wireless set up and I am left without either TC connection or internet connection.
If anyone could help, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Raheem

Raheem,
You might consider this as well. Others have initially had trouble getting the TCs hard disk to appear only to have it work perfectly after they reformatted the drive.
*Reformat the TC Hard Disk*
You can reformat the hard disk in the Time Capsule.
Go to Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Disks --> Highlight "Time Capsule Disk" on the left --> Click "Erase" on the right.
Rename the disk and select the level secure erasure. You're done and ready to begin backing up again.
I would suggest connecting the TC directly to your Mac via ethernet. Your initial full backup will go much faster and doesn't fail nearly as often as trying to do it wirelessly. “If you have an Ethernet cable, you can perform your first backup to your Time Capsule via Ethernet; this will allow for the fastest initial backup especially with client computers that use 802.11b or 802.11g.” http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1176
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
