Time Capsule not working after 10.5.3 update

The following link shows screenshots of how Time Machine is behaving after the 10.5.3 update.

Ever since the lates 10.5.3 update Time capsule / Time machine has been incapable of successfully completing a backup. Its stuck in an endless cycle of unsuccessful backups. Apple, please fix this!

I finally broke down and called Apple tech support last night, just prior to my 2nd premature disconnection with the tech agent, they told me that this is not an issue with the 10.5.3 update, but rather an issue with Time Capsule itself. They were in the process of transferring me to their wireless 2nd level support when I got disconnected (again). I haven't called back yet, but will be sure to keep you updated once I find out the issue / resolution. I am in the process of moving everything from my Time Capsule HD and onto another Firewire HD so I can try a full format of the Time Capsule to see if that helps.
By they way... I am now back to using Time Machine with my Firewire HD without flaw. It's, in my opinion, related to Time Capsule and not the 10.5.3 update. What makes it worse is I paid $500 for the Time Capsule and $0 for the update.

  • Time Capsule not working after a restore

    I recently had to restore from my TM/TC backup after a standard software update made it so I could no longer log into my account. Now, my TC is not working properly. I can still access all of my past updates on mu TC, but it is not working for making new backups. Instead of backing up the new files, TM wants to do a whole new backup from scratch (all 140 gigs). Worse still, it is unbelievably slow (as in it took over 3 hours just to do 1 gig last night on my wireless.)
    If I can still access all my old files on the TC and I restored my Mac using the TC files, why is it that TM wants to start an entire new backup now instead of continuing to update the original one? And, why is the updating crawling along at such a terribly slow speed. Any thoughts/proposed solutions to this very much appreciated.

    I found this article which describes a fix:

    I'm testing it on my Time Capsule now, I'll let you know how it goes.

  • Time Capsule not working after last software update

    I bought my time capsule 3 weeks ago. Set up and worked like a charm (I use airport express for my wireless network). After I downloaded the latest software updates a week or so ago, I got a message that my computer could no longer recognize my time capsule. Since then the time capsule light only flashes amber and wont appear in airport utility.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I was having problems with the 7.3.1 firmware as well. For me, in manifest as though the internal disk had went bad--a blinky amber light and a "Disk needs repair" error. Rolling back the firmware solved it for me.
    To do this:
    --Open AirPort Utility.
    --Click on your TC.
    --Click on the "Manual Setup" button.
    --When the configuration summary pops up, click on the word "Version".
    --From the "Upload" drop-down list that is on the new pane that pops up, select "7.3", and click "Ok".
    --Once it reboots, it'll be at 7.3.
    Hope this helps. I'll be waiting a few weeks after 7.3.2 comes out to upgrade. I'm not real impressed with 7.3.1. As far as I can tell, it broke more than it fixed.

  • Time Capsule Not Working After Hard Reset

    A few weeks ago my MacBook Pro started slowing down to a crawl.  Eventually ralised it was due to Time Machine not finding the Time Capsule - a known problem.
    Reset the Time Capsule (2TB, 8 months old) but although the Internet is working the light is still flashing amber.  Carried out a hard reset and still get back to the same situation - the internet is working through the Time Capsule's wireless network but I am getting the flashing amber light.
    My internet connection comes into the house and into a wireless modem.  An ethernet cable from the back of this modem comes up to my office where the Time Capsule is located into a fast ethernet swtich and then an ethernet cable goes from the switch and is then plugged into the back of the Time Capsule in one of the three internet ports with the <<->> markings.
    AirPort Utility shows me that the internet is working and has a green light whereas the Time Capsule has a flashing amber light and 2 errors.  When I click the Time Capsule it tells me that the status is:
    - Double NAT
    - Ethernet Unplugged
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    TIA

  • Airport Extreme/Time Capsule not working after downloading 7.6

    Downloaded airport 7.6 last night and now time capsule/airport extreme doesn't work.  I can't even reset the tc to factory default settings.  Not sure what to do now.

    Hi, today I got the same problem after 7.6 update for my Time Capsule. I tried to downgrade to 7.5.2, but afterwards the problem was not solved. Then I tried to set fixed channnels - and it works! For 2.4 Ghz I used channel 12 and for 5Ghz channel 48. Beforehand I used "automatic" for both. Hope it works for you too. I don't know, how Apple's test team spend the whole day ;-)

  • Time capsule not working as wireless base station suddenly

    I have been using my time capsule as base station for wireless network in our house for some time and suddenly network is not working for all wireless devices in the house.  Desktop imac is connected to internet via ethernet cable through time capsule and works fine so I know problem is not with cable modem or signal coming to house.  Laptops appear to be connected to my network fine but when attempting to connect any site through safari or firefox I just get the spinning wheel thingy. 

    Check that the laptops are getting DNS and router (gateway) from the TC.. if not reset it and do the setup again.
    What OS are you actually running on the laptops.. this problem started with Lion and is much worse in ML.. it is actually not a Snow Leopard issue which you list as the OS.

  • IPod touch not working after 5.0.1iOS update

    It seems like a lot of people are having issues after the new 5.0.1iOS update. I want to share my frustration and what problems I'm facing. After the update my ipod won't sync properly. It freezes my computer and then my computer shuts down everytime I have my ipod connected to my computer. My music and apps on my iPod are like ghosts they are visible but do NOT work after being pressed. I tried resetting the ipod, same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, same problem. There is only problems with my computer when the iPod is plugged into the computer and trying to update. I am so ANGRY because I love my iPod and I can't use it to listen to music or communicate with my family and friends. I hope Apple will help all of us soon and fix these HUGE bugs, and FAST.

    Have you tried the sandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Retore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Drobo not working after 10.5.8 update

    My drobo stopped working after 10.5.8 update. Now I lost all my data on the drobo. this doesn't make me happy.

    'We are using the USB interface (as opposed to firewire) because we want to share the drive across the network - it's not always about speed.'
    This makes absolutely no sense to me.. but maybe I am wrong : Because firewire is much more reliable than USB and manages to keep highest transfer rates (without jumping up and down as USB would do as soon as I/Os go up...) Especially on a Mac ! (only for the latency I am not too sure, but I guess it is similar on fw and USB.. just increase the caching if you stream hd movies on the network...
    From my experience, sharing a USB drive on the network is probably much worse.. you can find example on the web.. (Orb, Plex and else will start drop frames when connecting to a USB shared drive.)
    I currently use my drobo plugged to my Mini with a fw800 to 400 cable,4*1.5tb hdds, I also share it on the network with gigabit ethernet, and get much better performances than any usb shared drive.
    Sorry I do not have any precize measurement, but I can upload or download a 6tb file in about 10minutes over gigabit ethernet, and I guess the bottleneck is now the Drobo controller...
    The protocol you use may have an impact as well (afp, smb,...) but whatever you use, I suppose Firewire will be faster.
    As a general advice, do not update or upgrade anything in general before you have a backup of your data, this is true for any storage system, Drobo or not.
    Oh, and Data redundancy on a raid is not a backup of course.

  • External monitor Syncmaster 2494SW not working after 10.6.7 update

    External monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2494  SW stopped working after 10.6.7 update on 2011 MacBook Pro. I'm using miniDP-DVI adapter. The monitor shown correctly in Display Properties with right modes and name. MackBook recognizes connection but the monitor goes to PowerSave mode (LED indicator blinks).
    Safemode boot, SMC reset, PRAM reset did not help.
    Exactly the same setup works perfectly under 10.6.6.

    HERE IS THE EASY FIX SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM GUYS:
    I have an 15inch MacBook Pro that I've just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on.
    Prior to this install, I've had it hooked up to my Samsung SyncMaster 2243 via an Apple MDP/VGA adapter and a third party VGA cable. It has been flashing on and off a black screen every now and then for the past 2 years and I googled that it was just a crappy communication between the MBP and the Samsung... but now since installing 10.6.3, the Samsung display just flashes the desktop for a second then turns black for good - occationally flashing analogue/digtal prompt display. Tried everything for hours. Nothing worked, thought I was gonna have to buy a new all Apple VGA lead then came across Michael's above solution. Tried it and it worked IMMEDIATLY!!! And the monitor doesn't flash black anymore AT ALL!! Whoo-hoo!! Thanks heaps.
    WHAT TO DO TO FIX:
    Go to => System Preferences  => Energy Saver => change graphic settings to Higher Performace.
    Cheers!!
