Time Capsule please help

Hi,
I have just set up my time capsule, after quite a few drama's. It's seems to be finally working.
The only thing is that when I search the content on the TC, it shows that the storage space has been used but I can find all the info.
When i search the pictures I had on the mac no content is shown in the TC. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I have reset the TC to factory settings and set it up again?
Also I have to upgrade my operating system to install an application and I have been advised that I should do a clean install. Will I have access to the content on the TC with out restoring the info back to the mac?
Sorry abould all the questions, I am new to all this.
Thanks

When i search the pictures I had on the mac no content is shown in the TC.
If you are asking about the iPhoto library, Apple removed the feature that allows you to "browse" the backup library in Time Machine some time ago. You have to "Restore" the entire library to another destination....like your Mac's desktop....and then pick out the individual images that you need.
See this excellent support document....the pink box.....from Time Machine guru Pondini for more info on iPhoto.
http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
Sorry, I have not ever done a "clean" install when upgrading the operating system.....(this sounds more like Windows).....so cannot help on that one. If you elect to do a clean install, Time Machine will likely view your Mac as another "new" Mac and backup the entire contents of the Mac on the first backup that runs.

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.

Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

Time Machine getting real-only error on 2TB Time Capsule --- Please Help

Hi,
My MacPro is running 10.6.2. I bought a 2TB Time Capsule on August 1st, 2009. The TC has been running okay, but painfully slow. On Tuesday, Nov 24th, 2009, the Time Machine reported that the TC is read-only now. I've spent 5 days, including Thanksgiving Day, researching and trying to resolve this problem. To my surprise this problem goes back several years.
I have tried all the solutions without success. I cannot afford to lose the sparse bundle on TC --- it's 1.56TB in size.
My home/office LAN includes a Linksys BEFSR81 Router, 2TB Time Capsule, an iMac G5, and my MacPro. That's all there is. The router is connect to the Internet through a Comcast Cable.
The TC was configured using the Airport Utility. The password is set at the TC level. The password is also set "Guests" (something I found in my research). Wireless is turned off because I'm using an Ethernet LAN.
Now the following is very Strange!!!
(1) Click on MacPro in the side bar. The Data disk is shown with a "lock" in the icon. It has only one permission: Everyone "No Access". I'm unable to change the permission.
(2) Click on the boot drive and make invisible files visible. Expand Volumes. Get Indo on the Data "folder". The permissions are:
everyone - read/write
don (Me) - read/write
admin - read/write
everyone - read only
There are 2 "everyone" entries!!! I can't remove either of them. I wonder if the second "everyone" is the problem?
Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this read-only problem?
Is there a bug in the firmware? My TC version is 7.4.2.
Please help!
Thank you,
Don Leckie

Disk Utility didn't report any errors. I checked the log too.
The disk "Data" in TimeCapsule can be opened using the Finder.
The sparsebundle for the MacPro can be opened and each backup folder is accessible and can be written to. But TimeMachine still says that the TimeCapsule is read-only.
The sparsebundle for the iMac G5 cannot be opened from the Finder. The error message is that I don't have sufficient privileges. Trying from both the MacPro and iMac G5. TimeMachine still says the TimeCapsule is read-only.
I tried using fsck_hfs to try fixing the permissions. But I got the message that the disk Data was not a character device; whatever that implies.
Tomorrow I'm putting a call into Apple Support.
Thank you for your help!

I can't set up my time capsule - please help!

I can't seem to set up my Time Capsule at all since I switched Internet providers to Virgin. Whenever I try to it says that the network password is not correct but I KNOW it is. I've tried it wired via Ethernet with the wireless turned off but still it does nothing. Has anybody got a link to an absolute fail proof guide to setting it up. I've had a Time Capsule before that worked fine.
Thanks

LaPastenague is correct in saying you need to setup the Time Capsule in bridge mode. It sounds like you are using a modem router combo.
Just get a regular ethernet cable(same as a "patch cable") and connect it from the LAN port on the modem to the WAN port on the Time Capsule. Go through the setup as normal and if it asks you to put it in bridge mode do so. (if you are using Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier it will prompt you for it. If you are using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later it will automatically put it into bridge mode if it is receiving a private ip address).
To verify bridge mode:
10.6.8 or Earlier: Airport Utility > Select Time capsule > Manaul Setup > Internet Icon Along the top > Internet Connection Tab > Connection Sharing. If it says "Share a Public IP" Switch it to Off(Bridge Mode)
10.7.5 or Later: Airport Utility > Click on the Time Capsule > In the window to the right of it click "Edit" > Network Tab > Router Mode. If it says "DHCP and NAT" switch it to Off(Bridge Mode)
Hope this simplifies things....

Hello JFull14. Making sure that your order is still on track is very important. By chance, has there been an update to your order status screen? http://vz.to/Ulymw6
If not, I have sent you a DM so we may help look into this.

I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have time machine.

By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock? The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it.
If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one.

Bought lots of music last night. Tried to sync my 5th generation nano.It's been saying something like, "step two, attempting to sync a***'s ipod for about 8 hours. It won't let me stop it. I can't disconnect at this time. Please help.

I can't disconnect at this time. Please help.I thought about using control. alt delete and stopping it. It says I will lose any unsaved data. The music appears to be in my library, so I should be safe, right? However even if that works and I can disconnect my ipod, why isn't it syncing? I have a 2nd one to sync as well. I am frustrated. Thank you!

Thanks you for replying planb77! My husband got home and told me to just disconnect the ipod. It had been at least 12 hours by then, The music was in my library but not on my ipod, He had me shut down, unplug my computer, take a rest from it and restart. I reset my ipod following instructions on the itunes site. I tried syncing again and was successful syncing both ipods. I really think it was great of you to take the time to help someone else.

Thank you,

but the page of ni support does not work:
https://sine.ni.com/srm/app/newrequest
and I have the recovery.cfg file from NI with this steps :
1. Copy the recovery.cfg file, found in the zip folder attached at the bottom of the email, to the thumb drive.
2. With the cRIO device powered off, plug in the USB drive to the controller.
3. Hold down the reset button while powering on the controller. Continue holding the reset button until the status light turns on, then release the reset button.
4. Wait for the controller to boot. This should take less than a minute.
5. Check that the password has been reset to the default. (you will still be prompted for a password even if the default is blank)
6. Reinstall software to the controller. Using the USB reset will leave the system in a state where it is unable to run LVRT
I have followed the procedure as mentioned
Result: the LED "Status" is permanently blinking.
Would you please provide as with another alternative so that we can fix this issue.

Discussing jailbroken iPhones is against the T&C of use of this forum. We need to stop here itself.

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!

It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
