Time Capsule on Mavericks Different?

have noticed that Time Capsule Disk, is no longer appearing on my Desltop and as the backup is occurring The little watch does not Spin? I deleted the old BU after working with Mavericks and really loving it. So I decided that a New Bu was in Order.
Got a little concerned to not see any BU disk on the desktop? New Behavior?  I went to Finder prefs Un/enabled all the options with Disks Appearing, and re/enabled but no go..
Anyboy Else see this?

  • Copying data from a Time Capsule to a different Mac

    After having searched the forums for quite a while and still not finding the correct answer, I decided to share my solution for this very specific scenario: I have a Time Machine backup onto a Time Capsule from a Mac. Let's call it Macintosh A. So, for whatever reason, Macintosh A is out of commission—perhaps it's in the shop, or it experienced a hardware failure, whatever—and you want to get data from the backup onto another Mac, we'll call it Mac B. Here's how. First off, these instructions assume a few things:
    You know how to navigate files and folders on the Mac
    You are running OS X Mavericks (the procedure will be similar in other versions of Mac OS but these specific instructions are for Mavericks)
    You are on the same Wi-Fi or ethernet network as the Time Capsule
    You are viewing files and folders in column mode (wherever I say click on a folder, it translates to double click if you are in icon or list mode—if you're using cover flow, stop and change to one of the other actually useful view modes)
    You know the device password to your Time Capsule (this is usually different than your Wi-Fi password)
    Wherever you see Macintosh A in the instructions, substitute your backed up computer's name (I know, but this trips up a surprising number of people...)
    Make sure that when you set up the Time Capsule via Airport Utility, you tick "Enable file sharing" (see the Disks tab in the Airport Utility configuration window). Next, while in the Finder, select "Go: Connect to Server..." and in the subsequent dialogue box, click on "Browse". This will open a Finder window listing the available volumes. Click Network and your Time Capsule should appear as one of the options. Click on it and you'll come to a connect dialogue. Click on the "Connect As..." button and it will open a password dialogue box (this may take a bit of time, especially if you are connecting over Wi-Fi). Enter your Time Capsule password and click "Connect". Click on the Data folder and you will come to something called a Sparse Bundle. It will have a name something like this: "Macintosh A.sparsebundle". This is simply a type of volume that you can connect to from your Mac. Double click on it. Depending on how you have configured your Finder, your Time Machine Backups icon may show up on the Desktop or simply in the Finder window Sidebar under "DEVICES". Once you locate this, navigate to the "Macintosh A" folder and you will see a series of folders named by date. Now you can navigate through those folders to find the specific files that you want to recover. Once you locate those files, simply copy them to your Mac (Mac B, in this example).
    The abstruse nature of the Time Machine and Time Capsule backup system is daunting. And let's not forget that when you are trying to restore files, it's often because there is some sort of computer failure and this is stressful enough without having clear cut instructions on how to restore files. And often enough, people don't want to restore their entire system—they may just want to access certain files. This is for them.
    Good luck and happy restoring!

    Take a look at Migration Assistant, in the /Applications/Utilities folder.  You can use a Time Machine backup to restore your data files.

  • Access your TIme Capsule from a different network?

    Okay, I've been looking everywhere for a guide or how-to to do this, but my searches have been more or less fruitless, coming across outdated, incomplete or incompetent so-called "guides", so I thought I'd finally post a question myself, and see if anyone has actually been successful in doing this.
    What I want to do is be able to do is access all the files stored on my Time Capsule from anywhere (using accounts and/or passwords), provided I have an internet connection. I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive, and it's great at home, but I have a lot of music, movies, photos etc that I don't have space for on my MacBook, so being able to connect to my Time Capsule from other locations would be awesome. I have seen many guides and how-to's, but no matter how closely I follow the steps, it never seems to work. If anyone has had any success using one of the guides, feel free to post the link below.
    I am running the latest firmware on the Time Capsule (7.5.2) - the serial number is 6F01208ZAQG if that helps, the latest version of Airport Utility (5.5.2), my Time Capsule is connected to the internet via a Thomson TG585 v7 router (via Ethernet cable), I am on a MacBook running OS X 10.6.5, which is connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule, and if it makes any difference I am in New Zealand.
    Any information would help, but if you're going to say "it doesn't work" or something not-so-helpful like that, could you please give a reason? I'm tired of you pessimists shooting everyone down.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    It's been some time since I have used the "feature" to access files on the Time Capsule over the internet, so I can't remember all the details from 12-18 months ago. Some specifics I do remember:
    1) You must have a "static" IP address for your internet service from your ISP
    2) You must use a simple one port modem that will allow the Time Capsule to be the "main" router on the network
    3) You must use Mobile Me from Apple to set this up
    However, I notice that Apple no longer talks about this feature on the newer Time Capsule literature online, so that might be a hint that it is no longer being supported.
    When did have it working, even small file transfers took forever. The connection, if I was using wireless, was often lost before transfers could complete.
    I haven't tried the "how to" in the article below because I no longer travel for my job, but it might be worth a look for a different approach if Mobile Me is no longer providing this service.

  • Airport Utility can't find my Time Capsule after Mavericks update

    Hello - I recently updated my Mac Book Air to Mavericks 10.9.1, and I can no longer manage my AirPort Base Station or Extender from that machine.  This means I cannot use the Time Machine backups from that Base Station, or view the devices on the network at all.
    Screen Shot from my Mac Book Air:
    I am connected to "Kobayashi" which is the network created from the Time Capsule, so I can connect to the network it is broadcasting from this machine.
    From my MacBook Pro using OS X (10.7.5) I can view the network and also perform Time Machine back-ups.  Here is a screen shot from that machine:
    I have connected the MacBook Air both using the wireless connection and also an ethernet to Thunderbolt adapter.  I have done a hard reset on the Time Capsule, and also restored it to factory settings.
    I have tried it with settings to allow and disallow IPv6 requests. 
    Any advice on additional trouble shooting/fixes I can try?
    Thanks
    Jon

    Thank you. Your suggestion helped resolve my 'Backup Delayed' error for Time Capsule. I use an early 2009 iMac and OS 10.9.2 and my home network is created by this very Time Capsule. I also use the McAfee Internet Security for Mac package. This error cropped up after one of the latest OS updates to Mavericks.
    Jack Wentz wrote:
    Thanks!  I had a similar problem.  I had McAfee All Access - Internet Security installed and it was blocking the connection to the Time Capsule. 
    The firewall setting defaults to "Public" rather than "Home or Work". 
    Path to setting.  Open McAfee.  Preferences > Firewall - Select "Home or Work."
    To resolve my issue I went to McAfee Internet Security Preferences and under the Firewall tab ---> Network Connections changed the 'Type' fom Public to Home or Work.

  • Problems with iTunes syncing iPhotos on Time Capsule after Mavericks update?

    Hello all,
    I currently have all my Music/Movies/TV Shows/Photos stored on my Time Capsule and have been using iTunes and iPhoto to retreive files from it with no problems until I recently upgraded to Mavericks.
    Couple of days ago, I updated to Mavericks, downloaded the latest version of iPhoto and iTunes. Yet once I've done so I could no longer sync photos to my iPhone, iPad or even see my photos on my Apple TV. I could however see the Music other Media. It took iTunes abnormally longer time to retrieve the data from the network and once it did and tried to sync them with the phone it just hung and crashed.
    I tried doing the following:
    Deleting the iPod, Apple TV cache from the iPhoto library.
    Fixed iPhoto Permissions and rebuilt the whole of the iPhoto library.
    Deleted my iTunes library and rebuilt it from scratch.
    All that did not work. The only thing that did however, was taking the photos from the Time Capsule and back to my computer. That seemed to fix things and I was able to make everything work again.
    What I am asking is: Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this an OS bug that will be addressed? or is there anyway I could fix this on my own? I only own a Macbook Air and the 15GB of photos I have already take a huge chunk out of the 59GB I have available on my laptop. Thanks.

    I have a new Time Capsule (the tall version), but no Mavericks yet (I have OSX 10.8.5) and latest iTunes and Time Capsule sw. I have pictures and iTunes library on the Time Capsule.
    iTunes messes a lot with synching pictures and music.
    I have tried to delete the picture cache on the Capsule, but that only helped once. Next time it looked over the pictures for a long time, but synched none. With music I get an error message that it's wrong format (it isn't, the file is fine, I can see it) - and since next time that song will/might come in, but some next song won't. Then it could gray out some music on iPad (running iOS 6.1.3), some times it actually plays grayed out music, some times it doesn't.
    But on my Mac Mini (which runs iTunes, all year long), all is fine, so the music exists fine! Synching looks very broken to me! This happened when my wide Time Capule's disk broke and I had to recover the iTunes library from a backup.
    I'd rather not move all of this onto the MacBook, as I want anyone to be able to synch and play music wouthot having to relate to some laptop.

  • Completely lost Time capsule in Mavericks. How do I set it up again?

    I haven't been able to do a Time Machine back-up since installing Mavericks. I've tried to troubleshoot using various solutions and just made it worse.
    Using the airport utitlity I tried to update and eventually ended up deleting it completely.
    Now I only have internet through my airport base station.
    I need to reinstall/configure my time capsule and then figure out how to get my time machine back-ups going.
    I did copy my documents to an externam harddrive but not the entire harddrive.
    So how do I get my time capsule back through the airport utility and get Time Machine working again?
    So far, so not impressed with Mavericks. Sorry I upgraded but now no choice in going back.

    Now it's worse.
    My airport is gone. I can only access the internet through an ethernet cable directly to my cable modem.
    Airport says there is no configured time capsule available. I've tried connecting the time capsule to the laptop using an ethernet cable as I did for my first backup way back when and it still says there is nothing out there. Naturally it also says there is no wireless network available either.
    This ****** me off. My Time Capsule was green and working perfectly except that it wouldn't back up. Now I've not only lost the ability to back up but I've lost my wireless network too.
    Will a Mavericks update fix this?
    Have I totally screwed my time capsule? Will I have to buy a new one even though my old one was working perfectly BEFORE the Mavericks install?
    If I dump Mavericks and reinstall a previous operating system, do I have a chance of getting my Time Capsule back?

  • Do the new Time Capsules have a different design?

    Having had my TC die, but out of serial number range for the paid repair, I did the job myself and it now works again - but for how long?!!
    The fault was obviously overheated capacitors, the same as the articles on the internet show, so I'm not sure whether it is sensible to buy a new TC.
    If the basic flaw has not been fixed with a new design that avoids these capacitors overheating then the same thing will likely happen again.
    Does anyone know if the new ones have been redesigned?

    Millions of later generation Time Capsules have been sold and we hear of a failure having to do with the power supply every once in while. Based on that, my opinion would be that the design is just fine. If my memory and observations are correct based on forum posts, I would also say that over the last 18 months, a higher percentage of AirPort Express devices fail than Time Capsules, even though the Express is a much simpler device.
    Having looked inside at both an early generation Time Capsule and a later generation Time Capsule, there are definitely different types of capacitors used. Not having a schematic of the circuitry, I can't tell you whether there were any design changes in later versions in the power supply section or not. That would be a question for the Apple product engineers.

  • Time Capsule Installation Producing Different Errors

    I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule to go along with my 24" iMac.
    I already have a home network where my Desktop Mac, Desktop PC and Laptop all connect through the net and to each other through a D-Link Wireless Router.
    On the Time Capsule papers, it is recommended to connect the Time Capsule with the router.
    1) Can someone explain why this should be done?
    I can understand the benefit of a possibly stronger signal but is there another reason to connect the Time Capsule to the Wireless Router (via Ethernet Cable)?
    Anyway, I have connected the two together and then I turned on the Time capsule for the first time.
    Let's forget about Time Machine (Backup) for now.
    First thing it did was ask me to do a firmware update which I did.
    Then it asked me to choose one of three choices (through Airport Utility):
    1) I have a wireless network and want to add Time Capsule or replace an existing device on my network.
    2) I don't have a wireless network and I want to create one
    3) I want to connect Time Capsule to my computer or network using Ethernet.
    I chose option 1 as I figured that I'm ADDING something to my network or that I may be replacing my router in some alternate sense.
    The next screen asked me 3 more questions...
    1) I want to replace an existing base station or wireless router with Time Capsule.
    2) I want Time Capsule to wirelessly join my current network
    3) I want to connect Time Capsule to my network using Ethernet to extend my current network or create a second network.
    This is a harder set of questions as in one way or another, all 3 seem to fit my setup.
    I wish to connect to the Time Capsule and then the Wireless Router through all my computers. The Wirelss Router is connected to the Time Capsule through Ethernet so option 3 may seem valid.
    Option 1 is valid if it is deemed that I am actually replacing my wireless router now with the Time Capsule.
    I chose option 2 as that was the most simplest option.
    I don't know if this is correct but this is my understanding that I'm just JOINING the Time Capsule to my current setup.
    Then it asked me to select the Network Name. So I selected the Wireless Router name from the Drop Down Box. I hope this was the right thing to do.
    Once I chose the wireless router, it asked me to select the WEP key but it gave me several choices:
    WEP 40 bit
    WEP 128 bit
    WEP (Transitional Security Network)
    Which one do I choose for a standard 10 digit hex key?
    I chose 40 bit first time around and I chose the Transitional Security Network 2nd time around.
    I entered my WEP key and then continued to update the settings.
    It did it's thing and then it restarted the Time Capsule but when it came back on, it said that there was an error setting up the Time Capsule.
    I have checked the cables and made sure everything is connected properly.
    Can someone please help me understand the logic behind all of the choices above and also why I am unable to set it up? How can I get passed this error?
    I have reset the Time Capsule several times now by pressing the reset button for 5 seconds.
    Appreciate the help,
    JH

    Any help on this at all?

  • How do I backup multiple Macs to a time capsule with Mavericks?

    I have 2 mac books needing to back up to a single time capsule.  I have heard the key to doing this is to limit the size of each mac book’s sparse bundle and then tell time machine not to resize the sparse bundle when it backs up.  I have tried a terminal command and using disk utility but neither seems to be working although I also can’t seem to figure out how to verify if my efforts have worked either.  Please help!

    Hmmm it doesn't always work.. but as long as you keep track of it .. I doubt you will have major issues.
    A8 on setting Sparsebundle size.
    Easy solution.. plug in USB drive into the TC, for one laptop.. and use internal disk for the other.. solved.

  • How do I find and access files backed up using a time capsule on a different mac?

    I have been backing up files from two macs to a time capsule.  I had a problem with the time capsule and took it to an authorized facility for repair.  When I got it home and reconnected to it, the time capsule seemed to start over as though it was the first time it was ever hooked-up.  The repair facility says my old files are still there.  My question is, how do I find the original backup files and reconnect them to my macs?

    On one of your Macs.....try a right-click on the Time Machine icon on the dock and then select Browsel Other Time Machine Disks to see if you can locate your backups there.
    If you find them, you will be able to restore files from the disk as needed. The same would be true of your other Mac.
    If Time Machine started all over with a new backup of each computer....as I suspect is the case based on the info in your post.....you will not be able to combine the old backups with the new backups.
    To switch back to your new backups, click the Time Machine clock icon at the top of the screen and select Time Machine Preferences. Click Select Disk and click to highlight your Time Capsule disk. Then click Use for Backup.

  • How to restore mail files from Time Capsule onto a different machine?

    My Macbook Pro hard drive crashed, and I want to restore my backed-up mail files from Time Capsule onto my Desktop Mac (iMac 27").  When I try to restore by opening Time Capsule with Mail already open, I can only see the current mail files on the iMac (not the backed up files on the MacBook Pro), even when I point to the MacBook Pro backup file.

  • How to re-initialise an Apple time capsule to a different WiFi network

    Upgraded the Netcom WiFi hub to a Netgear Wfi hub and the nether won’t recognise the time capsule to perform backups as and when prompted.

    Lapastenaque
    I have been on the chat line with Apple Tech.
    I have realised that the only way the Time Capsule was made to work the initial setup, was the the Netcomm wifi hub had 1 ethernet jack.
    An ethernet cable was connected from the wifi hub to the net port of the Time Capsule.
    With the Netgear mobile wifi broadband modem hub, no ethernet outlet is provided for this model.
    It then remained to simply connect a hard wired ethernet cable from the MBP to the Time Capsule ethernet port.
    This then re-established the wifi network, “without the wifi” but a hard connected ethernet cable.
    The Apple time capsule cannot be utilised to engage wifi direct to the internet via a third party mobile wifi hub.
    It defies common sense to call it a wifi hub that cannot connect via the 802.11 mode to the internet.
    It is a deliberate by negative inbuilt design flaw that Apple are of no mind to remedy.
    For now the Time Machine backups are taking place on regulated times set by the software.
    I thank you for your endeavour to lend assistance to the resolution of this query I had about the Time Capsule and use of Time Machine protocol.

  • Browsing Time Capsule from a DIFFERENT mac

    My primary mac is in the shop. I have a time capsule backup of that mac
    I borrowed an IMac and need to get some files from the usual mac off of the Time Capsule. I do NOT want to back up the IMac on the Time Capsule...I only want to find selected files off of the Time Capsule with it.
    Is this possible? I can see the TC from the IMac, but can only see a ".sparsebundle" file. When I choose "browse other Time Machine disks" from the Time Machine icon, it doesn't see my time capsule
    thank you very much in advance for your help

    thank you so much for the response
    I had been able to get as far as you instructed, and I can see both my time capsule and the sparsebundle file within it.
    what I don't understand is how to utilize that sparsebundle file in order to find the specific files I'm looking for within it
    is it simply a matter of double-clicking on the sparsebundle file to "mount" it like a disk? Is there any risk of me doing damage to the backup on the TC?
    thanks again for your help

  • Accessing same time capsule data from different computers

    I have been using my Time Capsule to back up several Mac's, and everything is fine. But I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and after several days, wanted to upload (download? sync?) my iTunes library from one computer to the other. I cannot find a way for the new computer to 'see' the files from my old computer.

    Time Machine is not designed to allow that.
    And iTunes is not designed to allow you to do that either.
    You should visit the iTunes discussion area to learn how to move/copy/share iTunes libraries between computers.

  • Time Capsule with a different DNS?

    Hi there.
    First time on the community.
    I've seen this question has been asked, but the posts are very old now. I'd like to present a scenario to you and to hear if this is possible or not.
    I would like to have my internet modem/fiberbox connected to a 3rd generation TC, and would like to connect to the TC with my Macbook Pro, my TV, my PS3 and possibly other devices as well.
    My question is, am I able to use an American DNS with my TC, so I get an American IP address instead of a Danish? The reason I am asking this, is that I'd like a solution where I will be able to watch Netflix, without having to change things around every time. Netflix is not available for Danish IP's which is the reason I want this.
    Am I able to set it up, so I can use my TV to watch ripped movies (I own them, but they are ripped from the DVD/BluRay's to my TC) directly from the TC? Will I be able to set it up so whatever other site and stuff I do, i use my Danish DNS, but for Netflix (possibly a similar music streaming service) use the American DNS?
    Thank you in advance!
