Time capsule makes me redo a full update all the time

i have the last macbook they made..like the late 2011 model i think they call it and when i upgraded to Yosemite, it will say a lot that the back up failed and i have to erase the time capsule disk and do a full back up from start. do you think there is something wrong with the hdd in the tc?  is there a way to do a hardware test on it.  i can't find anything online about this.  thanks for looking 

If you have seen that message more than 2-3 times, it is highly likely that the hard drive is physically damaged. 
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to test it, and if it is damaged....which is highly likely....no way to repair it.
You would have to pull the drive from the Time Capsule, place it in a special USB to SATA converter, and run Disk Utility to take a look at the drive. A lot of work....and probably not worth the time and effort.
Best bet is to replace the Time Capsule or buy another hard drive and connect it directly to your Mac.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

  • Fan runs at full speed all the time

    The fan on my brand new iMac 17" runs at full speed all the time, creating an unbearable amount of noise. The activity monitor shows 99% spare time, i.e. nothing much is running.
    I updated all software, checked the firmware version (it was the latest already) and performed an SMC reset. I also unplugged it for several hours, as some people have suggested.
    I downloaded smcFanControl and it says that the ODD fan is running at 5200 rpm all the time. The CPU and HDD fans seem to run at normal speeds. smcFanControl also reports a cool 39 deg.
    Does anyone have any idea of what to try to fix this problem?

    I don't have a solution but thought I'd add a computer that showed the same behaivor.
    A 20" iMac I was configuring for my company did the same thing, but just once so far. I used it briefly just out of the box and didn't have any problems. It's a stock install of OS X 10.4.8, no other software installed. Turned it on several days later and the fans ran during the 2 hours I used it to run Safari via Airport. I turned if off after it started to smell like hot electrical components. Activity monitor looks completely normal. After shutting it off for two hours, unplugging and re-plugging AC and keyboard, it came back on with no fans. I did not do the SMC reset or any updates between the power cycle.

The "recently played artist" section is not updating for a lot of people. There is already at least one thread about it. if you could be so kind as to pass on the info to anyone in the know, would be appreciated Again, thanks!  https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-Windows/Spotify-Recently-Played-Artists-not-updating/m-p/1142060#M129346 

  • Hi guys, i would like to ask about the apple id.  Which at this time I have been using the new apple id, can I be able to continue updates all the applications that I have purchased by using the old apple id.

    Hey guys, I am newbie here ;(.. I have a question regarding my new apple id. at this moment i've still have all the applications that i've been purchased by using my old apple id.
    In case there are an update for the applications in my iphone, " Can i use my new apple id to update all the application that i've been purchased with my old apple id ". If its not possible to do, are there any suggestion for me to updates all the applications by using my new apple id ?
    Many thanks ;)

    Apps must be updated using the Apple ID used to originally download them to the device.
    If you cannot or will not use the old Apple ID, then you can delete the app, and then download it again using the current Apple ID.  Be aware that any paid apps will have to be purchased again.

  • HT1349 For some reason part of the apps on my IPad just say waiting; they were working fine and then just turned dark and say waiting but didn't update when I updated all the apps.  Any suggestions?

    For some reason some of my apps suddenly went dark and say waiting.  I tried syncing with the computer and updating all the apps but they stayed dark.  The individual apps in question say they are updated when I looked at them.  Any ideas?  Do I need to just delete them off the IPad and start over?

    Hi you guys,four days ago my FT and iMessage worked well on my iPhone 5 IOS6.1.3,but my phone Number did not in the caller ID loop,so I turned both of them off,when I wanted to turn it on again,but failed,I tried so many times,but make no difference,It shows me"waiting for activation".Then I found the solution on internet,and you know there are many possible solutions,just like:
    1.change the wifi DNS to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4.and you must turn your cellular ON.
    2.restore the phone setting.Settings>>General>>reset>>all the phone setting.
    3.restore the network setting.Setting>>General>>reset>>the network setting.
    3.reset the network.
    4.reset your Date&time.Setting>>Date&Time>>set automaticlly>>ON.
    5.change another network to activate.
    6.take out the sim card to activate.
    I did everything,but nothing happend,it still"waiting for activation"
    And today afternoon,i try to activate again,when i turn iMessage on,it activate successfully.OMG,it is really amazing.and the same to my Facetime.
    I am so exciting and strange how it happen...
    I followed all the setting above 1.2.3.4.5.6,the only difference is i turned the "enable 3G" OFF(Settings>>General>>Cellular Data>>Enable 3G>>OFF),but it keep ON before now.
    seriously,i am not sure if the "enable 3G"causes this problem,but it really happened to me,so you guys can try if you have the same problem,
    hope my answer is helpful for you.

    If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad?  If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
    Refer to these articles for help.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
    If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
    You can also download the programs again.
    If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them.  You can refer to this article for more help.

    Apps are DRM protected and tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account nor updated using another iTunes account. Only the account used to obtain them can be used to update them. You can contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new account:
