Time Capsule refuses to download upgrade? Stops after 5 sec....?

Cannot backup to my Time Capsule.
Time Capsule requiers upgrade, but refuses to download it?? Stops after 5 sec. and blames Air Port tool???

What model TC is it? A1xxx from the base please.
How is it setup in the network?
What kind of internet do you have?
I would say any TC older than 3years do not upgrade firmware.. it will not solve your problem of not being able to backup anyway.
Pull the TC out of the network and do a factory reset. Use connection by ethenet, to redo the setup.. if at all possible setup and connect by ethernet whilst you do the backup.
But need more info to help further.

After time capsule 7.6 Firmware upgrade I can't set up Access Control / Timed Access using mac adresses.

After time capsule 7.6 Firmware upgrade I can't set up Access Control / Timed Access using mac adresses.
I have a Time Capsule and an Airport express and when I change access control parameters on whatever one of those
two devices through Airport Utility its duplicating the same setup on the other device !
What a mess !
I had to choose "Not Enabled" in the Access Control stup window.
Has anyone experienced same problem ?
Jean.

I did downgraded firmware to 7.5.2 ...
and the Acess Control Setting from Airport Utility is back to normal behaviour.

I'm having the exact same problem with a dual core iMac. Absolutely driving me nuts...cleared out all my caches before starting; have restarted MANY times after every failure; plenty of RAM, plenty of GBs on HDD; all else updated and my broadband working fine.
Can anyone help on this?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Use the manual methods.. but it is possible for TM to wipe the old files in trying to fit into the space.
Try Q16.. but read all the section 14-17

My time capsule loses connection to the internet after a short amount of time. It works for 1-2 minutes then stops, any suggestions?

I just replaced a generation 1 time capsule with the brand new 3TB TC version. I connected it and did all of the restarts and even called apple and spent over and hour and we simply couldnt figure it out. Right when the devices (modem and router) are done re-booting I receive green lights in airport utility on both the base stattion TC and the internet. The internet is screaming fast and I am able to go to new websites. Then after just a couple minutes (1-2) the internet light switches from green to amber and I drop my connection. I feel like I have tried everything but it keeps losing the connection. Any suggestions?

Exactly what modem are you using?
And what mode is the TC running in and how is it connected and what mode does it work in?

Time Capsule won't connect to network after factory reset

Hello
I have reset my time capsule back to factory settings, After this was completed the time capsule will no longer connect to my network.
When airport utility is launched the app will search for the time capsule. Then when the app is gathering information at the reading previous settings stage air port utility quits unexpectedly (There is a report, this can be attached if any one needs it)
The light on the time capsule is flashing amber.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Im running a mac book pro with lion 10.7.3
Cheers Dan

If you reset the Time Capsule back to Factory Default Settings, the Time Capsule is now broadcasing a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxxx.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of your Mac's screen and make sure that you are logged onto that network....no password is required.
Then, open AirPort Utility.
You should see the xxxxxx number displayed in the upper left hand corner of the window when you click on Other AirPort Base Stations
Or, if you do not want to connect using wireless for the configuration, temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the back of the Time Capsule and then open AirPort Utility.
If you still experience issues, check to make sure that you are following Apple's instructions for the default reset in this support document:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
We have also seen reports from users about difficulties with the new version of AirPort Utility.
Download and install the full feature version of AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion to see if that will work.

App download always stops after a few kB (Torch 9810)

I can browse the Appworld, i can click on download but during the downloadprocess the download suddenly stops and the device shows me a errormessage. The Errormessage is: Es ist ein Problem aufgetreten beim Download. bitte versuchen Sie es erneut. I tried it with a lot of different apps but there is always the same Problem Apps like BBM, Black Berry Protect, Google Talk, Twitter, Facebook works without Problems. I can download them, and I can update them. - I have a working BlackBerry ID - The Paypal account works with the Appworld - I have tried the download via Wifi and WAP. There is always the same Problem - I have upgraded the Firmware - I have done a wipe with the Torch - I have done a complete wipe with BlackBerry Toolkit - I have tried to download Apps with the PC My only hope are you Pros here. PLEASE help me....

Hi jakeloveslucy
Thanks for your feedback. However, just to clarify: my iTunes Library is not stored on my TC itself, yet on a separate HD that is USB'd to the TC.
Also I wonder where it's stated that a iTunes Library is 'meant' to be stored locally.
Regards.

Time Capsule - Can't change network password after 10.6.3 update

Has anyone else experience an issue changing the Time Capsule network password after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3? If so did you find a work around? After the update I'm no longer able to change the Time Capsule network password when accessing it from Airport Utility. The utility will say that Time Capsule has updated the network password to the new one but when I check keychain it shows the old password. I tried resolving this by deleting the original keychain then changing it again in Airport Utility but it still shows the old password in the keychain and Airport Utility when I reopen the app.

HI,
Checkthe vendor site for Snow Leopard compatibility. The developer may need to update their software.

Time capsule problems since Maverick upgrade

Maverick forced an upgrade from Airport Utility 5.6 to the latest version. I am now unable to connect via wifi. I stayed with Airport 5.6 throughout previous upgrades because it allowed me to easily convert between ethernet and wifi. I back up large sized photos which would take forever using wifi. I upgraded to Maverick when I was connected to time capsule through an ethernet connection and can't get back to wifi. In the process of making this work, time capsule created a new wireless network which I cannot figure out how to delete. I rebooted time capsule several times - ethernet works, but wifi does not. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.

OS X 10.9

Why does the backup from the latest OS X Mavericks time machine fail with the latest firmware upgrade of Time Machine?
"Why", we'll probably never know except to mention that Mavericks appears to be a bug ridden operating system, particularly with Time Machine and corrupted back ups.
I would suggest that you try Pondini's Time Machine --- Troubleshooting to see if that will help get things going again.

Will i loose all my time capsule data if i upgrade to mountain lion from snow leopard

i am thinking about upgrading from SL to Mountain Lion
is there anything major i should be concerned with?
will my time machine backups be availible?
i mainly use Logic Pro

Ok, then it looks like you need to start "from scratch:" Power it off for a couple of minutes, then back on, and follow the manual.
Be sure it powers-up and the yellow light comes on.
If you don't have the manual that came with the TC, it should be one of these:
Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation) - Setup Guide
Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Generation) - Setup Guide
Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd Generation) - Setup Guide
Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Generation) - Setup Guide
I'm not an expert on that, plus it's late here, and I need to go to bed soon. If you still have trouble with this, your best bet will be to start a new thread in the Time Capsule forum at: https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/time_capsule. That's where the networking gurus hang out.

Time Capsule Hangs with USB Drive Connected after installing 10.5.6 update

The 10.5.6 update basically made my External USB Disk connected to the Time Capsule unusable. I've repaired the permissions as suggested in other posts - this did not fix the problem.
I was unable to perform any incremental backups initially after the 10.5.6 update, so I archived my sparsebundle and created a new one by doing a full fresh backup - which completed successfully. However, after the backup, I was unable to connect to the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to the Time Capsule via Finder - when trying to connect, my computer hangs and I'm forced to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND the Time Capsule, if I just restart one or the other the problem persists. If I let the connection attempt run long enough I get an "Error Code: -8072" message and still have to do a hard restart. After the hard restart of my computer and Time Capsule I'm able to connect to the Time Capsule and the USB drive connected to Time Capsule just fine. However, once the Time Machine backup runs again - the same problem returns, I can no longer access the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to Time Capsule via Finder and have to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND Time Capsule. This 10.5.6 update has been havoc, anyone have the same troubles or ideas for resolving this? Before updating to 10.5.6 my system was working flawlessly with Time Capsule and the connected USB drive.
UPDATE: I've just verified that this problem only occurs with my external LaCie Hard Drive connected to Time Capsule via USB. If I disconnect my LaCie Hard Drive from the Time Capsule and restart the Time Capsule everything works fine (backups, access to Time Capsule Disk from Finder). If I connect the LaCie Hard Drive via USB to the Time Capsule, I am able to access the LaCie Hard Drive in Finder UNTIL the next Time Machine backup. After the first Time Machine backup with the USB drive connected, I can no longer access the USB drive from Finder - Finder hangs and eventually produces "Error Code: -8072". If I disconnect the USB drive, then plug it back in - Finder no longer hangs and I can access the drive connected to Time Capsule until the next backup occurs.
Anybody have ANY ideas? This worked fine before the 10.5.6 update!

I am having a similar problem. Never tried it before installing 10.5.6, but have a Time Capsule (500GB) with a 1TB WD MyBook Essential Edition connected via USB. Hardware is password protected by authorized users of network and needs separate login to access. When I initially set it up, it worked fine (though too difficult to set up). The WD storage drive showed up in Finder window as a subset of the Time Capsule after clicking on the Time Capsule icon. I had an "-8072" error message yesterday that I ignored, but then the file contents of the WD storage drive took forever to be viewed in Finder (though video files could be accessed wirelessly). Today started having a problem... coincidentally?... after a Time Machine backup, and got the message: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)." Now I am unable to get into the WD drive when I click on "Connect As" on the Time Capsule icon in the Finder menu... I just get the -8072 error. I no longer even see the Time Capsule disk as a subset of the Time Capsule icon in the Finder Toolbar.
What is going on???

Time capsule issues (constant downloading)

Hi guys,
I just got a G4 Time Capsule (Model MC343xx/A) with firmware version 7.50001. Anyway, I had it set up as a bridge to a router/modem that I currently have. I am connecting to the TC via wifi on my macbook running 10.6.2.
Anyway, I have iStat menus installed and it's showing that I have a constant downstream (into the macbook) connection at 500 KB/s (kiloBYTES).. It doesn't stop and I think it would drain my batteries really quick.. How do I find out what's causing it?

I was reading around and there seems to be a lot of bugs with the 7.5 firmware version..
Apparently...
I'm trying to copy a file from my TC to my macbook, it is less than 800MB but the copy dialog is saying it's gonna take 13 HOURS.. Speeds are less than 20KB/s.. Is this normal?
A Time Capsule isn't known for being a fast file server, either from its internal drive or a drive attached by USB.

Time Capsule refuses to work!

I bought this Time Capsule in August and spent a month trying to set it up to no avail. After dealing with school and a house robbery I finally tried to set up my time capsule again (kind of useless when you have to borrow computers until you can buy your own!) since we have an iMac and MBP now.
I called a bunch of times in August and that was no help at all. I'm kind of upset that Apple won't help me over the phone for a product less than a year old.
The Time Capsule is flashing amber right now. We have no network errors, I'm on the internet right now. On page 29 in the manual it only says that there would be a network error and there isn't. We just got a brand new modem since our old one was shot.
In 2012 when I tried setting it it would go green but it would NEVER connect to airport utility.
And when I do try it, it either flashes amber or never connects to airport utility.
Our iMac is a 2012 model so I would assume it comes with an airport card?>>
Does anyone know how to fix this?D:

Let me suggest you do this in stages..
The TC has to fit into the existing network.. in order to do that it has to be setup in the correct mode.
So first thing I need is to know the whole network layout. We cannot work in general terms.. it needs specific info.
So, what modem and what type.. please supply the make and model.
What kind of broadband is it?
Is the modem also a router and also wireless.. ?
How is the TC connected and in what mode?
How is the iMac for instance connected now.. you are apparently not using wireless.. yes, it has wireless?
Is it plugged into the modem or TC?
What about the MBP, how is it connected?
Does the TC come up in the airport utility? If so please go to the page where it shows errors.. Flashing amber does not mean anything much.. just some thing needs attention. it could be vital or trivial.
Please use the ability to post screen shots.. that makes life 1000x easier.. one picture telling a 1000words.
