Time Capsule not compatible w MacBook Pro on 10.5.5 - packet loss

I've been limping along with rubbish internet speeds since upgrading to 10.5.5.
I assumed it was the isp - but then realised that the XP laptop connected via the same time capsule was having no problems.
Pinging shows 10 -30% packet loss.
In desparation we've reverted to the airport extreme and I have no connectivity issues which proves it a problem with how the MBP & Time Capsule work together.
All my data is on the timecapsule including my music library - how can I get this working again?

A "live verify" (ie, a verify performed on the currently-running system drive) in Disk Utility is unreliable. It's likely that you have a problem, but not guaranteed. You'll need to repair the hard drive at a minimum. Instructions are here:
http://pondini.org/OSX/DU6.html
In my experience, repairs aren't always that reliable. In addition, I've been told that modern drives do not have these kinds of problems unless they are failing, but have no personal knowledge relating to that and don't know whether your five-year-old drive would be considered "modern." In any case, though, if it were me, I would probably erase the hard drive and restore from backups if I were you, rather than relying on a repair.
If the repair can't be completed, or if erasing the hard drive doesn't work, or if the problem comes back after erasing or repairing, then the drive is probably failing and will need to be replaced.
Regarding the bank issue, I believe this is either an error on the part of your bank or represents an attempt to hack your bank account remotely. If I were you, I would demand (politely, but firmly) an explanation of what the bank saw that they are identifying as malicious.
I honestly don't know how the bank could possibly identify malicious access, unless they noticed an attempted access from a weird IP address (for example, from an IP address in a different country or belonging to an identity-hiding service), which would indicate a hack not involving your computer. If malware on your computer was attempting access to your bank site, it wouldn't really look any different than a normal access attempt to the bank's site.

    Ah, that's a new wrinkle to me.  I haven't tested the Server product, but there are a number of differences.  As far as I can tell, the firmware update solved this for most, but not all, users of standard OSX.
    Are you still on Snow Leopard server?  It's quite different from later versions, I understand.
    Have you tried selecting the base station, then Base Station > Restart via Aiport Utility's menubar?  That still disconnects everyone, but might work by itself.
    Otherwise, sorry, but I'm out of my comfort zone. 
    Hopefully one of the networking gurus will have an idea or two.

  • I have a 500 GB hard drive and a 1TB Time Capsule running on a MacBook Pro.  It was all working well until the MacBook went in for a repair a week or so ago.  Since then, TC will not perform a backup;  instead, it says the backup is too large for the disk

    Since having my MacBook Pro repaired (for a video problem) Time Capsule returns the following message:  "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 428.08 GB but only 192.14 GB are available."
    I notice that there is also a new sparse bundle.
    Since TC has my ONLY backup (going back about 4 years) I am reluctant to wipe it and start over fresh as I am afraid of losing files. 
    Is there a way of dealing with this?
    I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    The repair shop likely replaced a major circuit board on your MacBook Pro, so Time Machine thinks that you have a "new" computer and it wants to make a new complete backup of your Mac.
    You are going to have to make a decision to either add another new Time Capsule....or USB drive to your existing Time Capsule....and in effect start over with a new backup of your Mac and then move forward again.
    For "most" users, I think this is probably the best plan because you preserve all your old backups in case you need them at some point, and you start over again with a new Time Capsule so you have plenty of room for years of new backups.
    Or, as you have mentioned, you have the option of erasing the Time Capsule drive and starting all over again. The upside is that you start over and have plenty of room for new backups. The downside is that you lose years of backups.
    Another option....trying to manually delete old backups individually....is tricky business....and very time consuming. To get an idea of what is involved here, study this FAQ by Pondini, our resident Time Capsule and Time Machine expert on the Community Support area. In particular, study the pink box.
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/12.html
    Once you look through this, I think you may agree that this type of surgery is not for the faint of heart.  I would suggest that you consider this only if one of the other options just cannot work for you.

    I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that Apple published the list of supported hardware on its website quite a while ago. The oldest MacBook Pro model that supports Mountain Lion is the Mid/Late 2007 model. You have the late 2006 model.

  • Time machine not working says MacBook Pro.sparsebundle in use

    TIme machine has'nt backed up for over a year. Don't know why it was brougt to my attention by my laptop today. I've tried to restart it ,but it says that the "disk is already in use" or "Heidi’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" in use or" try to eject disk image" which I have no clue how to do.  Any suggestions?

    Did you try to restart the Time Capsule?
    Pull the power cord from the back ot the Time Capsule
    Wait a few seconds
    Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes and try a backup. If that does not do it, then look here for more information:
    The Backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use.

  • How to use my time capsule on my new macbook pro retina (time machine error)

    Hello all,
    I've been using my old mac for a while with my time capsule, but recently I bought the new macbook pro retina and I wanted to use the time capsule as the backup disk on the new one. However, whenever I try to run the backup, a message appears "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXX’s MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I wanted to override the settings so that the new macbook will use the time capsule for its backup disk instead of the old one, as I will no longer be using it.
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and if anyone know how I can solve it?
    Thank you

    You could delete the old backup from your old laptop? If you need to keep it then you need to rename that folder so that your new macbook can creatie its own file in the same name.
    Regards,
    Ryan

  • Can I use the same Time Capsule to backup two MacBook Pros?

    Basically, I want to know if I can backup my late 2009 MacBook Pro and my new one with retina display using the same time capsule? Maybe should I create different partitions on the time capsule?

    Yes, provided your backup drive is big enough. For a Time Machine backup your backup drive should be at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. In the case of two drives sum the capacities of the two drives. Be sure you backup drive is at least twice that capacity.
    You cannot partition a Time Capsule drive.

  • Time Capsule Backup to NEW MacBook Pro

    I'm selling my MacBook Pro and will get a new one soon. I have been backing up this MacBook Pro using my 1TB Time Capsule.
    Can I restore my NEW MacBook Pro using the backup from my OLD MacBook Pro from my Time Capsule? and if so, will I lose anything (music, photos, videos, files, programs, etc.)?

  • Chain Time Capsule, Thunderbolt Display and MacBook Pro

    I would like to setup the following configuration?
         TimeCapsule <== ethernet cable ==> Thunderbolt Cinema Display
         Thunderbolt Cinema Display <== thunderbolt cable ==> MacBook Pro (thunderbolt port)
    Does this configuration support the following concurrent connections?
         to Time Capsule through thunderbolt port
         to Internet through airport wireless card
    I would like to assess this configuration before the purchase.

    I've a Spyder4Elite that I use on both my Thunderbolt Display and on my MBP - and, while both are calibrated, they don't - and cannot - 'match' one another, no matter how hard I try.
    I suspect that you're running up against the same wall? Different technologies in different displays. I doubt that you'll ever get a perfect match: mine are just 'good enough'.

  • Files not compatible with macbook pro

    i have difficulty opening files on my macbook pro, the senders of the files tell me to use windows as their files aren't compatible with apple. is there a way to convert files

    If you take a document, and TextEdit can handle some Word files. or if you use Pages (you have to EXPORT) files to Word format.
    They are providing an exe is Windows only and read-only that won't run natively on Mac OS.
    Not sure what TV  has to do with this.
    Use Windows 7 and VirtualBox to do your word.

  • Time Capsule not Compatible with Windows 7

    As everyone is aware by now I'm sure, the Time Capsule with firmware 7.4 and up is not compatible with WIndows 7 when trying to access the TC disk through Windows 7. My question is when or is Apple going to update the firmware with a Windows 7 compatible version? I am sure that I am not the only one ready to return my TC.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +My question is when or is Apple going to update the firmware with a Windows 7 compatible version?+
    We're all end users just like you and have no way of knowing in advance what Apple will do. Even if someone has "heard something", the terms and use agreement for the forum does not allow us to discuss future products or developments.
    Have you contacted Apple directly regarding your concerns? There's no assurance that they even read these boards.

  • Since when is iMovie not compatible with MacBook Pro 13-inch?

    went to upload some Christmas Eve videos into iMovie and get an error messages stating the iMovie does not support my computer...which it sure allowed me to purchase, use and update as recently as September!
    Since when did Apple start deciding to not make the very software they promote as idea for users, then go and make them not work on a system that is not even 1.5 years old?!!! Steve Jobs would not have agreed to something so stupid! Apple, fix the problem or you are moving more and more closer to Microsoft than I thought.
    THIS IS PURE ******** AND I INTEND TO POST THIS ON EVERY MAC FORUM

    Here is the message I am getting:
    OK, I can edit HD video on my iPhone, but the hardware on my MacBook Pro can't handle it? Really?!! Come on Apple, I am not that stupid...and if this is the direction you were going, when are you going to finally produce a legitimate MacBook Pro 13-inch with video memory?
    All of those poor college kids and other people who purchased a computer that doesn't even support a simple, feature poor video editing program, but...I can run all kinds of other labor intensive program all day long...including 3rd party HD video editing software.

  • Time machine not working on macbook pro 10.6.8

    My time machine is not working, I want to upgrade to Lion do I need time machine?

    Not to upgrade, but you may want to use Time Machine for your regular backup.
    How to Install Lion/Mountain Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Installed
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
      1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before
          installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the
          update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is
          complete and you've restarted.
      2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-
          party system software modifications, or if you have modified the
          operating system through other means. (This does not apply to
          normal application software installation.)
      3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or
          other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone
          installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the
          installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion:
      1. Purchase the Lion/Mountain Lion Installer from the Mac App Store.
          The download should start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast
          internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4
          hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the
          time.
      2. The installer will run automatically after the download is completed.
          Click on the Install button to begin the upgrade.
      3. Follow instructions for installation.
    You may also wish to consider this:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above (you still have to do your own download of Lion/Mountain Lion) you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process of Steps 2 through 4.
