My time capsule keeps disconnecting intermittently. I have reverted to an earlier firmware version (7.6.1) but this has not solved the problem. Any suggestions?

Disconnecting what?
Wireless?
Internet?
Local lan? Hard disk in the TC?
Pray be specific.
When it is disconnected how do you fix it?
If the computer is plugged in by ethernet and wireless turned off, does the problem stop?
There is a bug .. well several really in the networking of Mountain Lion.. which seems to be worse with the TC.
It will lose access to the hard disk on regular basis. and it is just that .. a bug.. a reboot of the TC fixes it.
Did you use all very short names for TC.. wireless and disk name?
Is the issue with Time Machine? Or what and how are you using the computer that causes the problem.
Pondini has listed several solutions or work arounds for TM. See C section of his KB. on troubleshooting.

C12 and C17 being the most common.. asked several times a day.

  • Time Capsule keeps disconnecting while trying to backup or copy files, can someone please help me?

    I have a MacBook Pro, a Desktop PC running Windows 7 and a wifi router connected to the Broadband Internet. All devices share the same local network.
    My Time Capsule (early 4th Generation) is connected via ethernet directly to the modem, I'm also able to connect wirelessly.
    I also have an external seagate 3t drive connected to the time capsule.
    For some strange reason, my Time Capsule keeps disconnecting form the Network after I try to access the data either in the tc or the hd, however the light is always green.
    The problem mainly happens when copying data either from my Windows PC or my MacBook Pro: eventually, the connection between it and the Time Capsule is lost, interrupting the copy. It keeps happening every time, after a while, and only gets fixed rebooting Windows and the Time Capsule. I can't copy my PC data.
    I've tried soft and hard reset, the time capsule it's discoverable again and able to connect either via ethernet or wirelessly, however if I try to copy something to it or do a backup, it immedialty disconnects itself.
    Can someone please try to help me solve this issue?
    Thanks

    Wow! Thanks so much for such a prompt reply and for trying to help me, I really do appreciate it.
    Your reply is so detailed because, unlike me, you are an expert, so I’ll try to answer the questions you are asking, however I’m not that good at computers so please be patient and excuse me.
    1. Network layout.
    What is the wifi router you have??
    Answer: I’m connected to the internet through my ISP (centurylink formely Qwest) modem, ZyXel Q1000Z, I went to my modem page and copied this for you, it hope it helpsModem Status

    I presume this is modem as well.. please give all the details of the modem router .. make and model and what role it has in the network.. ie main router or bridged. If wireless is running what you do with it. Are devices connected to the modem router and so some devices are connected only indirectly to the TC?
    Answer:
    Make and model listed above, not sure about the bridge thing but in the image above it says something about encapsulation, does that help? If the wireless is running, (I assume you are talking about TC) I usually backup my MBP and my Windows PC, I also have a Seagate 3T Connected to the TC and I save music, photos and files on it to share within my network. Yes there are tons of devices connected to the modem, eg. Mac, MBP, MAir, Ipads, AppleTVs, iphones, printers, etc. Although when I first set-up time capsule (about 1 ½ years ago) I created a wireless network connection, Nobody ever connects to that network to access the internet, the only person that connects to the TC is me and that will be either through my MBP or my pc.
    I think I should mention that my ISP modem is connected to my PC through and Ethernet cable, although I connect wirelessly to it and my TC is also using an Ethernet cable to connect to the modem, however I sometimes connect to TC wirelessly. Not sure if you needed to know that be just in case.
    What setup and role does the TC have.. ie is it router or in bridge. If the main modem is also router than the TC must be bridged.
    Answer: Not sure??
    What firmware is the TC running?
    Answer: 7.6.4
    Has this been stable in the past and now has failed.. or was it always bad?
    Answer: Yes!, it used to be stable before, I really never had issues, this has happened since last November I think.
    2. Initial changes to get the ball rolling.
    Let me strongly recommend you do these thing...
    Comment:
    I’m about to do your recommendations after I finish typing this, however I thought I should mention that while on Windows 7, I am only able to see the TC on Airport Utility as soon as I unplug the TC and plug it back in, other than that TC doesn't show up on it, I am only able to see the TC through Windows Explorer/Network. Also sometimes while I’m doing something else, like being on the net, I notice the HD connected to the TC seems to be reading something
    All SMB compatible names.. that is for windows to work properly.. so short.. 2-10 is plenty of characters.. but make 20 the limit, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. (This is narrow, but easy to remember).
    Comment:
    When doing the factory reset do I need to this SMB thing? I’m a bit confused here, you are talking about me doing manually, so I can type something like this right?
    Good TC name. TCGen4
    Good 2.4ghz wireless name. TC24ghz
    Good 5ghz wireless name TC5ghz
    Exactly what format is the USB drive? Is it partitioned GUID and formatted HFS+ on the Mac?? this is the only way really.
    Answer: The Hard Drive connected to the TC is a Seagate 3t, I did do a partition GUID and half of it is to be used in my mac and the other in pc, I had no issues in the past with these partitions, I was able to save files from my MBP to the HD and from my PC to the HD, and then later able to see either files on both my mac or pc.
    I use my TimeMachine to Backup on the TC and it backs up both the TC and the HD connect it to it, I then have another HD connected to my MBP and do another backup there, I have lost information in the past and that’s is why I do so many backups.
    I also wanted to mention that most of the time the TC disappears from the network is when I try to copy something to it.
    I'm also enclosing a couple of photos of my windows airport utility, I am not sure if they will help you know something, I deleted my name and Ip address.
    Thanks again LaPastenague

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions?

    I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions? I can click on the "upload photos/video" field and it takes me to Finder to select the photo - but on selecting the photo, the Finder screen disappears as normal but from then on nothing happens.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Now empty the Safari cache.
    Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try Facebook.
    If that doesn't help, it may be a Safari extension preventing you from uploading content to Facebook.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Time capsule keeps disconnecting from the internet

    My MBP was previously connected to the internet via my sky netgear router, with no issues.
    I have recently purchased a 2TB time capsule and connected that to the sky netgear router via an ethernet cable.
    I then set it up as its own wifi network.  Now it keeps disconnecting from the internet every 5 mins or so.  I know that the internet is fine as I can hook up with my netgear router with no issues.  I cant seem to find any settings to play with.  Earlier posts seem to suggest firmware issues, but since this is a brand new MBP and TC, I can't understand what the issue could be.

    Give us the full blown picture of the network.
    What modem? Is it a router?
    Is the TC in router or bridge mode?
    Can you test with ethernet.. does the same disconnect happen when wireless goes down?
    ie is this a router issue or a wireless issue?
    If wireless can you try setting all that is now auto, to manual settings.. wireless channels.. unfortunately I think wireless mode is no longer accessible. Different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
    There are no new drivers.. That would only be relevant to AC wireless anyway.. or the firmware of the TC.
    But you are running the latest firmware.. 7.7.1 which does mention some (rare) disconnections.

  • Time Capsule keeps disconnecting as a router

    I have Time Capsule connected by ethernet to my main Mac and serving as a wireless router for the upstairs Mac, Windows laptop, etc. It did a perfect backup, but my problem is that it seems to need periodic "re-connection" to any computer that wants to access it as a router. I don't know if this is a function of the initial big back-up it was doing, but even after that concluded, I'd be cruising along on the net until the connection from the TC timed out (for want of a better expression).
    For now I'm using TC as a pure wireless HD and went back to my perfectly fine Linksys router and all is well. But for what I spent, and just on general principle, I'd love to get the TC working as a rock-steady router. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Register by MAC address to the first device is generally used by cable companies. But the Modem acts as the first port of call and whatever device first is turned on, picks up the public IP address and the MAC is registered. It just works. 
    Your issue might be that the first device to register has a very long lease. Since you cannot power cycle you should ask the IT admin of the building who controls this setup to release and renew the IP after you plug in the TC otherwise it will not be recognised.. for days or weeks or however long the lease is set to.
    But it could be 24hours.
    Plainly you got the Mac Mini working.. how did you do that??
    Sometimes you can just try overnight.. remove the Mac and plug in the TC.. but it is far easier to talk to the admin and get him/her to simply renew the lease.
    The other method we use is spoof the MAC address of the device currently plugged in. ie grab the MAC address of the Mini and use it in the router.. to pretend it is really the Mini.. the router on the other end is none the wiser.
    TC AFAIK, has no ability to spoof, but almost every other broadband router made can do it. Apple designed it for lowest common denominator in terms of networking ability.. to put it mildly.
    Note your internet might be already behind a NAT.. if you use the TC or any other router in NAT mode there is an issue of double NAT with every site that requires interactive connection because there is no possible link from the site to your PC by forwarding the port. Double NAT effectively blocks it.
    Check the IP you have on the Mini now.. if it is a private address.. ensure it is not 10.0.x.x by the way otherwise the TC will not work due to routing considerations. But any of the private IP address ranges are not routable over the internet and will give you issues.

  • My iphone 3GS is only showing apple sign. Have held buttons down as recommended and recharged on a mains. Still no response. Any suggestions?

    Help! My iphone 3GS has ceased up. It is only showing the apple symbol. I have tried recharging from the mains and also holding down the on/off button and central button. There has been no response. Any suggestions?

    Perhaps you have already done this, but I'd be sure to verify that it's not your cable...try a different cable and that will eliminate that as a source of the error.

  • Time capsule keeps disconnecting from my computer

    I am constantly having this problem with my 1TB TC...through out the day it will give an error message that it has been interrupted and it will drop off. I have it set to mount on my desk top when I start up my computer but it disappears then. The only way I can get it back is to unplug the TC and restart it and then restart my computer...this is really annoying and I think I am going to get rid of it.
    If anyone can help me here it would be appreciated otherwise its going down the road...

    You would open AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup. On the Summary Page, click on "Version" and another window will open to allow you to choose other versions of firmware. Click Update to restart the TC.

  • I have taken over my daughters laptop and i have tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall so i could sign in under my name to see my purchases. however that idea did not work it as allowed me to sign in but it is still displaying her music  any suggestions

    I have switched computers with my daughter.  I have been trying to use my itunes account and not hers.  I went through the uninstall process and reinstall of the program and signed in under my name and password.  After dowing all that the content was hers and not mine. Does anyone have any suggestions

    Not sure what displaying her music has to do with it.  You would have to delete her music if you want it gone.  That has nothing to do with the issue of your music.
    If you want your music, then copy it from your computer to hers.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Time capsule keeps losing internet connection

    I seem to keep losing the internet connection, and this seems to be when Time Capsule is doing backups. It is fine most of the time, it seems to have an IP address, but I can't connect to the internet. This seems to happen when it is doing backups. Have I got the time capsule set up correctly? I am using it with BT Home Hub which is also a wireless router, and I have set up Time Capsule to join the same wireless network. Most of the time it works fine. It also works fine when connected via ethernet, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the Time Capsule, maybe just the way it's set up. Or does it always behave like that? Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I don't have 10.6.4 yet though am just about to install it, so it can't just be related to 10.6.4.
    This morning when I booted up, I had lost my desktop background picture, the clock was wrong and my keychains seemed to be messed up. Nothing else seemed to be wrong, but I restored a backup anyway, and repaired the keychains. I don't know whether this had anything to do with Time Capsule or not, but I have my suspicions. At the moment I have connected the Mac to the Time Capsule by ethernet, and that seems to be OK, but I'd like to be able to put the Time Capsule in another room, to extend the range of the wireless network. I did wonder if there could be interference between Time Capsule and the Home Hub, as they are quite close to each other.
    I do not seem to have any problems when using my Macbook Pro.

  • HT3275 My Time Capsule keeps saying "backup failed" due to the network password not being correct. I have not changed my password and every day I have to type the same one in and then it works. But then the same thing happens the next day. Can anyone help

    My Time Capsule keeps saying "backup failed" due to the network password not being correct. I have not changed my password and every day I have to type the same one in and then it works. But then the same thing happens the next day. Can anyone help? This only started doing this about 2 weeks ago.

    Hello,
    Mac OS X 10.4 Help, I forgot a password in my Keychain
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1960.html
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1544
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

  • I have a 500gb time capsule. with 100gb free. i have a 160gm macbook with 40gm free. if i get a new 500gm macbook can i keep using my 500gm time capsule?

    I have a 500gb time capsule. with 100gb free. i have a 160gb macbook with 40gb free. if i get a new 500gb macbook can i keep using my 500gb time capsule?

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • Apple Time Capsule Keeps Dropping Internet

    My Apple Time Capsule keeps dropping internet or having extremely slow internet. If I run a speed test I am getting 90+mbs. What occurs is if I try to load a page, there will be a very long delay and sometimes the page will eventually load, other times it won't. When I try to stream something from youtube, If I can get to the page of the video, it won't have an issue. When I hard wire to my modem, I don't have an issue at all. Only hardwired through the router or using wireless through the router does this occur. The light on the router never has turned amber and the link light on my modem is constantly flashing. The only thing that will occur is that the Apple Airport utility keeps connecting and disconnecting from my modem.
    I've reset the router and modem. I've restored the router to factory settings and reset up my network, all to no success.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thinking I'll replace the motorola with a Cisco DPC3010
    You may find it is not much better..
    I do think the problem is more on the Apple side..
    If you are a tech.. let me suggest you make yourself up a 100 mbit (ie use only the two pairs) crossover cable..
    If that does not work.. try reverse polarity..ie in the ethernet on one end swap + and - .. It is an issue that has cropped up before where ethernet is just wired wrongly.. and it doesn't fail completely but becomes unreliable. 
    BTW the hardware reliability of the new AC version apple routers.. is definitely on the bottom of the apple list.
    I bought an AC TC and the first one had this WAN port issue from day one.. when I replaced it after a week (it died completely which was convenient).. the second one has been much better).
    The modems I have heard that works well is the zoom or ubee..
    Using another router doesn't need to be expensive.. you can still stick to the apple in bridge.. you only need a router that does routing..
    And the TP-Link can be flashed to gargoyle.. a hugely superior firmware btw.. solid .. reliable and it will track usage and do a lot of stuff well beyond Apple's keen.

  • External drive conntected to Time Capsule keeps losing connection

    I've been having this problem since I bought my TC over one year ago. Other than this everything works fine (aside from the occasional need for a restart).
    I have an external 500GB drive attached to my 500GB TC via usb. I use the TC strictly for backups and the other drive to host my media files. When I want to use those files I switch on the drive. Only about half of the time does that work. When it does work everything is fine. I see the drive in the finder as expected.
    When it doesn't work, I can see the drive name in the finder. But if I click to go into the folder, I get an error saying that the connection cannot be found.
    It shows up in the Airport Utility as normal.
    Powering the drive off and on does not help.
    Relaunching the finder doesn't help either.
    The only way I can connect to the drive again is to either logoff and log back into my mac, or restart the TC.
    It seems that my computer is remembering some kind of network disk mounting settings that don't get refreshed when I turn on the drive, but then do get refreshed when I logoff and back in. Does anyone know how I could force that refresh to happen? Has anyone had this problem before?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated
    PS all my software and firmware are the latest.
    Thanks.

    Left click on the Finder icon from the Dock and click "Connect to server...", go to recent server and click on your Airport Time Capsule.
    THANK YOU!!!!
    This solved it for me!
