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 stopped working after installing software update, no lights and reset did nothing.  What do I do?

    I can't get my time capsule to turn on after a software update.  Reset button does nothing and it is pluged in to a live outlet. Is my time capsule dead?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    any body an idea what i can do to fix it?

    hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
    in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
    then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
    could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
    grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config

  • 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.
    http://badtastic.com/stuff/tmprobs.jpg
    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!
    / Badtastic

    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:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
    I'm testing it on my Time Capsule now, I'll let you know how it goes.

  • 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 ;-)

  • Flash player not working after recent software update

    I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8, after the recent software update my flash player no longer works.
    I have read that there is a problem with security for the version of flash that I was using and this is the reason it was disabled. However, I have tried to download the most recent version from the Adobe website, but nothing happens and a message says I already have flash installed on my computer.
    I have a version of flash in my HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins, and there is also one in HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins (Disabled) which I have tried to move but it only lets you copy it and it seems unable to be moved back to HD>>Library>>Plug-ins
    I have also tried to download the "No Script" addon for Firefox so that I can at least have flash working in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to be downloading either.
    Please could somebody help me. I cannot now watch videos, listen to my favourite radio stations or even upload pics to ebay to create ebay listings. This problem ruining my internet enjoyment and I just hope that it can be fixed again. How dare Apple just do this without any warning or giving any info on how to easily fix this problem once flash has been disabled.
    I am not a techie so maybe there is an easy fix, but I have spent hours trying a lot of different things but nothing seems to be working.

    Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
    But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
    Thanks anyway!

  • Quick Camera not working after 4S software update...

    After installing newest iphone 4S software update the quick camera function no longer works. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thanks, did not realize you had to slide the camera button up! Before you just had to tap it.
    So, do you also know why the "Play, forward, and reverse" buttons" along with the slide bar "volume", show up on the same screen? (i.e. when I double click to get the quick camera button, these show up at the top of my screen directly under the Time. But I can't get them to do anything when I tap em.)  Brian

  • 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

    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.

  • 2nd gen apple tv not streaming after last software update

    I have 2 2nd gen apple tvs. I updated the software to 5.0 on one but not the other.   The updated apple tv is having streaming issues with my purchased content. Netflix will stream but not my purchased tv shows or movies. Anyone else having this issue?  I tried a reset but that didn't work.   And my other apple tv which i didnt update is working fine.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Damian,
    Thank you for taking the time to respond and no chance I thought that was rude.  Unfortunately I had already reset and rebooted prior to posting.  Also I have another 2nd gen apple tv and I stream netflix all the time as well as amazon prime and am not having issues so it's not my connection.  The only difference between my two apple tvs is that I upgraded the software on one (which now isn't working right) and not the other which is still functioning well!  So I am curious if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution. 
    Thanks again for your ideas and if anything else occurs to you, ping me!

  • Bluetooth volume not working after last firmware update

    After the latest firmware update I'm not able to adjust the volume. Both when i use the volume rockers on the side, or try it via settings, the indicator shows changeing volume - but there are no difference. VERY ANOYING! 
    any solution planned for att this issue? 
    Edit; just notice that the bluetooth volume is working on headset but not on devices with only media playback. (Working with SBH20 but not with AV-receiver or bluetooth speaker) 

    I can confirm that my Z2 bluetooth volume control stops working when i use it with my logitech bluetooth speaker.
    Bluetooth volume control does not work when I use Spotify, TuneIn Radio Pro, SoundCloud or Walkman. However the seemingly same bluetooth volume control works when I use Poweramp.
    At first I tought that the problem was related to streaming music but since the Walkman bt sound volume does not work on local media files it is not the case.
    The bluetooth volume control works with my Nexus 7 and Lumia 1020.
    Does anyone have heard from Sony regarding this issue?

  • Administrator password stopped working after last software update

    Since last automatic software update (I know have Mac OS X 10.7.5 in my MacBook Pro), when prompted for the administrator password with new software installation or to unlock the "lock" in the system preferences, the following happens: the password is accepted as valid (no error message appears, and the password window dissapears), but nothing happens:
    - For new software installation, the "Install" button appears again, and upon pressing it, I get prompted again for administrator password, and the process gets looped into these 2 steps.
    - For unlocking the system preferences, the password window gets closed but the preferences are still locked.
    It seems that my password is valid, because if I purposedly enter a wrong password it lets me know it is not correct, but it just does not unlock anything or just not get accepted as before!
    Now I also see in the tool bar at the top right of the screen my name (I am the administrator and only user, I never created any alternative account), this was not there before.
    Can anyone help me to solve this problem, please?
    Thanks!!
    Monica

    I guess I misunderstood your original post. You are logged in, but you can't authenticate as an admin.
    Back up all data.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but if the password is different from the old one, you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
