Time Capsule troppo tempo per Back-up!

Il Time Capsule mi sta dando questo tipo di problema da ieri:
Vorrebbe impiegare 18 giorni per completare il Back-up, parte inizialmente veloce e poi si pianta improvvisamente, qualcuno sa aiutarmi??

It is a problem that is encountered on ML but there is no patch.. it is normal.. !!
Reboot the network.. plainly you will need to stop the backup. Restart in order, modem, router TC.. clients.
Make sure you use the TC via ethernet if at all possible.. if not use 5ghz wireless again if at all possible.
Explain your whole network layout if you don't succeed.

  • Where are my photos?  just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

    where are my photos?  just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

    You can't open your backups directly with apps.
    But you can see some types of files in your backups.  If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
    If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link.  All you can see there is the library and size.

  • If I connect an external hard drive to the Time Capsule, all it automatically back it up?

    If I connect an external hard drive to the Time Capsule, will it automatically back it up? Or do I need to somehow configure it in TIme Machine?

    A HDD attached to the Time Capsule (TC) will not automatically back it up, nor can you configure Time Machine to do so. However, you can use the AirPort Utility to archive the contents of your TC's internal HDD to this attached drive.

  • Time capsule first said the back up was delayed no it won't connect to my home network. my internet is working fine and so is everything else but when i try to connect to the time capsule it says to check my server and ip address help!

    time capsule first said the back up was delayed, now it won't connect to my home network. my internet is working fine and so is everything else but when i try to connect to the time capsule it says to check my server and ip address and if it continues to contact system administrator.. i didnt change anything, please help!

    Lion networking.. just need to reboot everything.. modem TC and the clients.. then it will work.. Sometimes just the TC is enough.. sometimes just the computer. .. Vista golden networking award.. did you turn it off and on again??

  • I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it.

    I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.

    On the Mac......
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    Then.....very important
    Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
    Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
    Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
    If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

  • Using time capsule solely as a back up device

    I have a very advanced AC router that is a great home network. I want to use my time capsule solely as a back up device -- for my imac, which is ethernet wired to my router, and my kids' two macbook airs, which connect to the ac router wirelessly.  Can I hook up the time capsule by ethernet cable to the exiting router, and disable the wireless functionality of the time capsule? I dont want two competing wireless netorks in the house.

    It is counterintuitive, but you must first set up the Time Capsule to create a wireless network.......which you don't need, but it will automatically choose the correct Bridge Mode setting for the Time Capsule....which you do need.
    Once the Time Capsule is setup to create a network, then you have to go back in using AirPort Utility and turn off the wireless function of the Time Capsule.
    Here is how to do it:
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> Ethernet ports on your AC router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the iMac's screen and look for a listing of Time Capsule under a heading of New AirPort Base Station. The illustration below pictures an AirPort Extreme.
    Then, click on Time Capsule
    The setup utility will open up automatically and suggest that you create a new network, with a screen like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule:
    Type in a short name for the Network
    Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule. Use a short name.  Mine is TC
    Type in a password for the Time Capsule
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will set up everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    Now click on the picture of the Time Capsule
    Click Edit and enter the password if required
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the screen
    Change the setting for Network Mode from Create a wireless network to Off
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and wait a minute for the Time Capsule to restart.
    You are all set.

  • Can I backup my laptop on the time capsule that is currently backing up my iMac data?

    Can I backup my Apple laptop on my time capsule which is currently backing up my iMac?

    Yes, assuming that there is ample room on the Time Capsule disk for all of the files on your laptop.

  • How can I be sure that the back up to my time capsule has backed everything up as when I enter time capsule and interogate the back ups i can't identify individual music or picture files?

    How can I confirm that the back up to my time capsule has backed everything up as when I enter time capsule and interrogate the backs ups I can't identify individual photo or music files?

    You cannot browse a Time Machine backup with the Finder. To restore individual music files or any other files normally available in the Finder, open your Music folder then "Enter Time Machine" using the Time Machine icon.
    Restoring individual photographs is slightly more cumbersome. Apple recommends restoring the entire iPhoto Library, but if you want to locate an individual photograph you could use Time Machine to restore the old Libary. Restore it to an alternate location to avoid overwriting your existing one. Open iPhoto while holding an Option key, open the restored Library, find the photo you need and export it, close iPhoto, re-open it with your usual Library, and import the photo.
    Time Machine depends upon a number of sound engineering principles for reliable operation, one of which is "faith"
    Your files will remain intact until your Time Machine backup device becomes inoperative.

  • HT1178 Can I install Time Capsule strictly as a back-up to my local devices?

    Can I install Time Capsule strictly as a back-up to my Windows laptop and Apple devices without using it as an Airport Extreme Base Station? I do not want to use my Time Capsule as my access to the Internet, just as a back-up. I have U-verse voice and data services and am using their wireless router to connect to the Internet.

    You are asking multiple questions..
    The setup of the TC can have a whole bunch of variations. If you followed the instructions to plug in by ethernet and turn off wireless, then all connection is via the uverse modem router.

    Thank you.  Since I am not using my TC to connect to the Internet - I have U-verse, so I installed AT&T's wireless router - it was recommended that I put the TC into bridge mode and connect it to the router using the ethernet.  Without wireless, how do I send my backups to the TC? 
    If you don't use wireless then you use ethernet.. it can be plugged into either the uverse router or the TC..makes no difference.
    Should I disconnect the ethernet, re-establish wireless, and let all my Apple and Windows 7 devices use their active wireless connections to backup to the TC?  If so, how do I direct the backups to TC?  I have Airport installed on my Windows 7 primary computer.  Again, thanks for the help.
    Why do you want to use wireless if you have ethernet? Ethernet is much better and faster.
    If ethernet is not available you can use wireless.. if you turned off wireless in the TC.. then all connections will be via the uverse .. TC .. nothing wrong with that.
    If you leave the TC wireless on.. then you can connect to TC instead and use TC. That is also fine.. makes no difference .. use what works.
    I think you need to play some more.. you questions show you are not understanding the fundamentals..
    In bridge the TC is a dumb hard drive.. plus switch.. plus wireless AP.
    Plugged into the uverse router.. it is like the uverse router now has more switch ports.. a secondary wireless AP and a hard disk.. they are effectively one unit. Any connection to uverse is connection to TC.. any connection to TC is connection to uverse..

  • Can time capsule be configured to back up mixed pc mac networks?

    Can time capsule be configured to back up mixed mac/pc networks?

    That may work, but there are complications to putting Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's internal HD.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details and some workarounds.

  • Time Capsule. Can I back up 2 different macs? What do I have to do.

    Time Capsule. Can I back up 2 different macs? What do I have to do.
    I want to be able to back up 2 mac. Both have about 70gs of stuff and I have a 1 tb drive. So that should be no problem. I have the time capsule already set-up wireless.
    Do I have to make 2 folders? One for each computer? If so how do I do this.
    Any help would be great.
    I just do want to have to do a restore and get all of my daughters stuff on my mac.
    Thanks

    Just set them both up, via #Q1 in the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Time Machine will make a separate +sparse bundle disk image+ for each Mac's backups.
    As noted, it will be much faster to do the initial setup and first backup while connected via Ethernet, if at all possible. So your best bet will be to set up one, and let it's first backup complete, before setting-up the second.

  • I have 2 macs and 2 PC laptops in my home wireless network.  Can I use the Airport/Time Capsule hard drive to back up all 4 machines?  I know that I will have to use different back up software on the PCs, but is it possible over the wireless network?

    I have 2 macs and 2 PC (Windows 7) laptops in my home wireless network. (The iMac is hardwired via ethernet to the Airport/Time Capsule; the others are wireless connections using Airport).  I want to use the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule as a network backup drive for all 4 computers.  Is this possible?  Could someone help me by telling me how to configure it?  I know I will have to use different backup software in the 2 Windows 7 Laptops?  Do I need to use the Windows backup software, or can I use a third party program like Acronis True Image?  Thanks in advance for the help

    It is your fault, pondini.. all your fault.
    I read of all the things that go wrong restoring Time Machine backups.. particularly stupid things like mail, photo libraries don't go back.. etc. And looking through the incredible number of issues people have here, when their Mac finally takes a dive how hard it is to restore.
    I restored a test hard disk from a TC.. and it takes ages and ages to even make up its mind to start.
    I worked in computer support for ages, but not Macs.. so my experience is ghost.. ghost images.. on large commercial server setups, can stream restore to multiple computers at once.. even doing it computer by computer the image is simple as network boot to restore. But ghost went the way of Symantec.. sigh!! And was destroyed.
    A product like clonezilla, Free linux boot cd.
    http://lifehacker.com/5078397/clonezilla-backs-up-and-restores-your-disks
    Can backup a Hard disk in just about any format.. yet to try it on a Mac to a TC.. but I will. Boot from CD.. instead of your lost Lion partition which no longer exists (because the hard drive had to be replaced) and the DVD they no longer give you, and restore the entire hard disk in a couple of hours .. to the exact image at the point you made the clone.. in any format, with any partitions.
    My bet is that it will kill TM .. but you could be right.
    It is just the prospect of all those permission changes, photos and mail libraries etc that worry me.

    Hi Bob,
    Just go back to this issue. Maybe I have not explained my config correctly.
    I have Speedtouch router for Internet access connected to a soho switch with 8 ethernet connections on the ground floor. To this switch there are wired 7 Microsoft devices including PCs on both the ground and first floor) and an airport express Wi-fi hot spot (first floor) . My Macbook is wirelessly connected to the AE for Internet access . An HP printer is also connected to the AE.
    I would now like to set up the TC as a wifi back up disk for  the Macbook using Time machine.
    Should I a) replace the AE with the TC  or b) can I set TC up seperately ?
    If a) can I use the same network Id and password for TC as I had for the AE or do I need to use new ID and password for it?
    If b) is there a risk of interference between the TC and AE ?
    Probably a) is the best solution as I dont really need the AE if The tC will give me greater functionality but I would like your confirmation of this
    thanks
    Yvonne

  • Can I use Apple Time Capsule both as a back up as well as an external hard drive simultaneously ?

    My new IMAC has 500 GB SSD. I want to create a back up for it in a 2 or 3TB Time capsule. Is it possible to have data other than my backup data in the time capsule?  And can I access it like an external hard drive?
    Thanks
    cpsharma

    1. If you're using Time Machine, you should allow it at least 1TB of space, but see #2.
    2. Yes, but it isn't possible to partition a Time Capsule in the normal fashion, and the Time Machine backup will eventually take up all the free space on the volume containing it. If desired, create a disk image on it.

  • Time Capsule and Windows 7 Back Up and Restore

    Hello,
    I would like to know i can manage to save my backup of windows 7 on the Time Capsule using the back and restore tools ?
    I am using on my time capsule the file sharing with the disk password, but it doesnt seems to work.
    Can u please help ?
    Thx !

    Open the guest access and give read and write permissions.
    Also make sure you actually give the WORKGROUP name in the WORKGROUP area, correct to the win7 workgroup..
    If you still cannot access the TC try turning off the firewall in win7.. you may also need to ensure that win7 is recognised as in home, ie local network, not work or public.
    Open a command window and ping the TC to make sure you have network access.
    In windows explorer type \\ipaddressofTC\ into the address bar.. that being its IP address. You can also try netbios name.
    If none of that works post again but it should.. on latest firmware on the TC??
    You need to use windows backup which is near useless.. I recommend you download a utility that can do a proper disk image.. there are plenty around.
