Time Capsule not found ... and yet I know exactly where it is.

I've installed ML on both my MBPro and my iMac, both recent models (late 2010 iMac; late 2011 MBPro).  I use my Time Capsule as my WiFi hub as well.  Since the upgrade, two things that I know of are not working properly: Time Capsule backups and Home Sharing in iTunes.  I'll save the Home Sharing for another thread.
I frequently look up at the menu bar and see an exclamation point in the center of the Time Capsule backup indicator, and when I click on it, I get a message saying that the backup disc can't be found.  This will happen throughout the day, and then, though I've done nothing, not even unplugging and re-plugging the router, it'll be back and ready for back up.  When I select Back Up Now, it will, but it takes several minutes.  The latest 10.8.1 update doesn't even address this.
Any insight from anyone? Does it have to do with 5ghz v.s 2.4ghz?  Have my walls gotten thicker in my apartment?  And, by the way, the network itself is fine - I never lose connection to the internet, and even when home sharing isn't working, I can still pick up other shared libraries.

I don't know how it got there, but dwarvenhut is correct—it's an extension that doesn't seem to do anything, and it uses a non-existent component (components/f8bd48d8.dll in my case).
To delete it from the extensions list, delete the folder in the Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions directory; mine was called "{39fdc2ab-b323-a8a8-a497-763ced813cae}".

  • Airport time capsule not found error message

    HI,
    My time capsule is blinking orange.
    I open aiport, sometimes airport finds the TC, sometimes not.
    When not, get message:
    "airport time capsule not found"
    When TC is found, aiport utitily shows an error with the extended network I am setting up. I press 'edit', the settings all seem good. Re-type passwords etc and update.
    The problem remains.
    I have updated the firmware. An apple shop near me has reset TC using the recessed button on back of TC, and then I have re-configured at home.
    BTW, TC was working fine in my old house with same laptop, so prob not simply a basic user issue...
    4 other devices on my wifi network all have reliable connection, visitors' phones and laptops too, so shouln't be a wifi netowrk issue, ie network outside TC.
    Any thoughts out there?
    HOpe so!
    mana

    yes, running airport 6.1, OS 10.7.5
    OK.. I failed to ask enough questions.. I think your comment it all used to work threw me.
    1. You are trying to extend wireless network of what router. This will only work with another Apple router.. the way apple built it is in the family only. So please spell out what is the primary router??
    If you did have it working to extend the wireless of a non-apple router in your previous house I simply don't know how.. according to Apple it isn't possible. You can use WDS.. that is slow and reduces everything to G wireless.. that is the only way.
    2. When you say in the first post..
    4 other devices on my wifi network all have reliable connection, visitors' phones and laptops too, so shouln't be a wifi netowrk issue, ie network outside TC.
    I presume if you turn off the TC, these devices still have wireless network because they are connected to the primary router.. not the TC.. again my bad reading.. I assumed they are connected to the TC.
    So please spell out the whole network..
    Broadband modem.. type, model, make.
    Main router.. type model make
    Any other network devices.
    And how was it setup in your old place and how is it different now.

  • Time capsule not found by airport after new router

    I have a time capsule that I do not use as a router, just for time machine.  It worked fine for a year wirelessly backing up my macs but then I moved and have a new router.  Airport no longer finds the time capsule and it says I can't back it up my macs because the backup disk cannot be found.  I tried plugging the TC in to my modem but no luck.
    Thoughts?
    Thank you!
    Beth

    Plug the TC into a computer by ethernet directly.. press and hold the reset until it starts to flash rapidly.. about 10sec. Then the utility should be able to find it and simply set it up in bridge mode..
    You should download the 5.6 airport utility for lion as v6 is a toy. You can run both side by side and keep 6 for pretty network pictures.

  • Airport Time capsule not found on mac when using AirPort Utility

    I just purchased an AirPort Time Capsule to back up my files from my Mac.  I have been able to set up the wireless portion, but when trying to access the backup portion through TimeMachine I cannot select my base.  I am able to see it on my iPhone, but not on Mac.  I have updated everything.  Is this a known problem with the transition to Yosemite?  Any suggestions?

    Dead spot on.. Yosemite is pain plus..
    I recommend you start over in your TC setup..
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.

  • Lion Upgrade Complete... Time Capsule Not Found?

    Just upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro.  No longer able to see my Time Capsule (which I only use as a backup device)?  Any Ideas... I tried the thread in a message below to adjust the name of the device, but my MacBook no longer recognizes or can find on rescan the Time Capsule.  It is on, and plugged in, with a slow yellow blinking light.

    My time capsule is reporting normal operation.  It is connected directly to ethernet, not wireless and it is not an access point.  here is the message
    There is a problem connecting to the server " Dean-Nebrigs-Time-Capsule.local".
    Any words of wisdom to get this Apple device to work with Apple Lion?

  • Time capsule not found by airport but ethernet cable was working

    So I turned time machine off some time ago,( got fed up with it constantly saving whilst recording music and slowing down stuff), now although i was happy (ish) as it was before, i can no longer find in preferences a drive to use as backup.
    the alert box tells me that airport cannot locate, when i previously, and still do, have ethernet cabling connected .
    The time capsule green light shows, but not backing up.
    Can i find back up drives without airport utility being used?

    Thanks for th response, i have upgraded to lion some time back and as i recall i've had this prob before and had to do a verification of some kind using the clean up disc utility.
    I have already done...
    the verification again without success, I did a repair disc permission on the Mac HDD,i did a restart of TC by unplugging and replugging without success.
    I use TC for backup only,  using ethernet and my router is wireless.
    i'm reluctant to reset although I would if I could be sure.
    What is the 5.6 utility?
    My version 11.5.2, should i install the 5.6? if this is indeed an upgrade?
    thanks for your time and patients

  • Time capsule not found

    I tried installing a new 1T Time Capsule.
    Airport Utility 5.3.1 will not find the TC.
    Rebooted MBP, unplugged and re-plugged the TC
    I have been trying for 3 hours. nothing works.
    MY MBP will cannot find the TC and the TC cannot find the MBP
    Please help.

    Plugged able into MBP then into TC1 WAN port, green light shows, MBP will not find TC1.
    is there a step I am missing?
    Should the MBP auto locate the device?

  • Airport Time Capsule not found

    Hi,
    I'm tying to setup Time Machine backup on a new Macbook Pro (well, the laptop is Mid 2010 but I got it new ;-) ).
    I have an existing Airport Time Capsule which I already use for another Mac as a backup device which is working fine.
    In Time Machine setup I can't select the Time Capsule volume, neither can I see it in the Airport Utility although I am actully connected over WLAN to this Airport TC.I can use Airport Utility just fine on my other Mac and also on iPad without problem.
    MacBook is running 10.8.4, Airport Utility is 6.3.1 TC has newest firmware as well.
    Any hints?
    Regards
    Chris

    Manually mount the hard disk of the TC.
    In Finder, use the top menu.. Go, Connect to server.
    AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress eg AFP://10.0.1.1 if the TC is at default.. you obviously substitute the actual name.. and that is network name.. not as it appears but as apple reads it.. much easier therefore to use names that already conform.. so short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Reset TM and see if you can find the hard disk you now have mounted.

  • Time Capsule not found in airport utility

    I have a 2nd gen time capsule that is having some difficulties.  It seems like it has been since the latest (7.6.1) update.
    After a while, my wireless clients cannot connect to it, and it won't show up in the AirPort utility.  If I power cycle it, it shows up again, and clients can connect.
    When it isn't listed, the light on it is still green.
    It ALSO seems that the time machine can back up to it still .
    Any ideas?

    It may help to power cycle the entire network if you have not already done so. This will get everything back in the right sequence on your network.
    Just power everything off in any order that you want
    Wait a minute or two
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time a minute apart until everything is powered back up

  • Time Capsule not found on New PC

    I have had a time capsule for while now and I just got a new PC. This is my first PC in years. I am having trouble connecting to the internet. But more so, I am having trouble even connecting to the time capsule. Windows does not even find it.
    I am using a wired connection. Not wireless. I just do not understand why it does not even show up with a wired connection.
    Please, can anyone help me!?
    Thank you

    PC has to use SMB with the TC..
    SMB has rules which Apple default configuration breaks.. one would hope NOT deliberately.
    Change the TC name and wireless names, to short, no spaces, especially no apostrophe .. just pure alphanumeric.. ie mix of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
    Set 5ghz to a different name to 2.4ghz.. this also helps things.
    Now go to the disk / file sharing page.
    Turn on the guest account.. give it read and write permissions.. at least to start with.
    Put the workgroup name in correctly .. generally WORKGROUP
    Now on windows download and install the airport utility for windows and bonjour.. it should be part of the package.
    You might find as soon as bonjour is loaded the disk will be available and ask for username and password.. username just use admin.. it is not used on the Mac side.. for password use public which is the default.
    If no disk shows up, go to windows explorer and type the address of the TC into the address bar.
    \\TCName.. or \\TCIPaddress

  • Time Capsule not found as base station, but green light?

    When plugging in my time capsule, the green light appeared. However, Airport utility said it could no devices could be found. I did a hard reset so that the flashing amber light was flashing, but to no avail. Thoughts?

    How close is the AirPort Utility to the TC? What is blocking it if you drew a straight-line from the TC to the computer the Utility is on?

  • HT3728 Time Capsule not found

    After resetting my time capsule I still cannot see the device on my mac book pro, but I do get WiFi.

    Likely, Mavericks bugs.
    On your Mac.....
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Network
    Click on WiFi on the left to highlight it, then click Advanced on the lower right
    Click the TCP/IP tab
    Make sure that the setting for Configure iPv6 is set to Link Local Only
    Click OK, then click Apply in the next window
    Then, click Ethernet and repeat the same process as above
    Restart the Mac
    Then, pull the power plug on the Time Capsule, count to ten, then plug it back in
    Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart, then see if AirPort Utility can see the Time Capsule

  • Time Machine and Time Capsule not backing up

    I could really use some help please.  A little while ago I could back up to my Time Capsule via Time Machine.  Then it became slow.  Then it decided that it couldn't find the backup disk.  After 1-2 hours of waiting, then I couldn't stop the backup even when it wasn't backing up, other than via Activity Monitor. 
    I have tried suggestions offered such as:
    Deleting the, com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (although not the one below it, i.e. com.apple.TimeMachine.plist.lockfile)
    Stopping backup via Activity monitoring
    Resetting Time Capsule
    Powering down and back on again - everything
    Starting in safe mode and restart etc.
    I am at a loss to back up my data.  Yet more hours lost trying to resolve this situation.  Shouldn't back via Time Machine just work??
    I see my Time Capsule as connected in Finder.
    I finally got to the point of, "I don't belive this", when Safari didn't function correctly, Activity Monitor didn't open.
    My operating system is Lion 10.7.5 on my iMac.  I have got Filevault enabled.  I am using Parallels 7.
    Any ideas that work, greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
    If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well.  So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
    The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
    For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
