Time Capsule Turns OFF on reboot and wake up

I'm using the latest versions of everything on this iMac and AirTime Capsule. For the past few weeks I noticed that when the desktop wakes up Time Machine is OFF in System Preferences or when I reboot the Mac, Time Machine turns OFF also.
Reading other posts, I started to look for a com.apple.TimeMachine preference in the Library but I could not find any reference to that file.
It's annoying because I expect my stuff to be backed up during the day while working. At night, before the Mac goes to sleep, SuperDuper does a full backup on a different drive.
If you could help resolve this issue, I would appreciate. TIA.

Thanks for your reply. That's what I've been doing to delete in Library the TimeMachine plist file. I even lock after the first reboot the SysPrefs panel of the Time Machine to ON. Then on second reboot, Time Machine reverts automatically to OFF. Same thing the next day waking up after sleep. The Mac wakes up and Time Machine is OFF again.
I am puzzled and confused as to why it does this. Time Machine has worked superbly since last July, then around the end of December it started doing this trick. I update religiously my Macs whenever Apple Software Update tells me to, so I'm running now on this iMac 10.6.6 and on the AirTimeCapsule 7.5.2.
Dazed and confused

    Assuming you mean that you performed the repair yourself, it would seem that you either obtained a defective screen or you did some sort of damage when you replaced the screen. You can try asking for assistance on ifixit.com, a site dedicate to those attempting their own repairs, or you can take the iPad to a shop and pay them to try to correct the problem for you. Apple will no longer touch your iPad now that you've attempted your own repairs.

  • Blackberry turn off for reboot and not getting started....

    Blackberry turn off for reboot and not getting started.... what can  I do ? thank you

    Hey peselvam,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do a clean reload of the device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any backup data to the device.
    I hope this helps.

  • Every time i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player

    Everytime i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player11.8 . I have tryed everything i could find on the internet, nothing helps. please help.  I wish i could contact adobe directly but don't know how. Been trying to fix it for a week.

    Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
    When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.

  • HT3728 Time Capsule turned "off" and won't turn back "on"

    My Time Capsule shut down last night--completely turned off--and won't turn back on. It felt warm, so I unplugged it overnight. I tried plugging it back in this morning and it still doesn't have power. I've also tried plugging it in somewhere else, and the hard reset as described on the Apple Support Website. But still no power. The green/amber light doesn't come on at all. Suggestions?

    the power supply is cooked in its own internal oven bag..
    It sounds like it is beyond warranty but if you have applecare on a Mac that will also cover the TC if it was purchased within 2years of the computer..
    Otherwise a self - repair is possible or help from a repairer if you happen to live in an area.. to Apple it is a sealed unit and they will not help you.

  • Time Capsule Turns Off

    I am having some troubles with my time capsule. It has been working flawlessly for the last 3 months...until this weekend. Three times now, it has turned off at some point. If I unplug it and plug it back in, the front lights back up and all is good.
    The switch has constant power and I did not have any problems with the network before this...
    any ideas?
    bk

    This has just started happening to me as well.
    I have a 1TB Time Capsule & over this past weekend it's turned completely off on it's own 4-5 times.
    Unplugging it and replugging it boots it back up.
    BK, any further news on yours?
    Thanks,
    -G

  • Time Machine turned off... and my Mac keeps asking for the TM volume!!

    I turned off Time Machine because I am away from home and not using the external HD, but I keep receiving an annoying message: "Time Machine could not complete the backup... bla bla bla volume not found".
    The funny thing is that I have even clicked "NONE" in the volume window before setting Time Machine off... and still TM doesn't stop working.
    The message appears almost once an hour...and I can't watch a movie or do a presentation without having to click return on the keyboard to get rid of the error window.
    Any suggestions?
    Don't tell me to switch TM off... it's off!!!!!!

    The easiest way is to select a disk temporarily, then turn TM Off.
    Just don't use one if the message says TM will reformat, as it will do that immediately.
    have you given that a shot ?
    As of your experience, do you know any other setting file related to TM other than this plist in the root Library? I will look in the user lib as well...
    sorry, no. i use my TC for TM backups so i never had a reason to turn TM off permanently.
    good luck !

    ... does my iMac model... support Hibernatemode 3 alias "Safe Sleep" to protect my Mac against damages due to power outage?
    You can set hibernate mode to 3, but it seems to me its only benefit could be if power were to be lost after the iMac was already sleeping. Sleepimage is written to disk prior to system sleep. If your iMac lost power while it was "awake" you would certainly lose any unsaved work no matter what hibernate mode you choose.
    The problem is that an iMac without power no longer sleeps, it's dead. Upon restoring power you need to cold boot, and I seriously doubt sleepimage can be forced to load in that event. Sleepimage is loaded upon wake from "safe sleep", not from boot as far as I know.
    It is simple enough for you to try, so go ahead and see if it does what you want. Other than creating a 16 GB sleepimage file it did not appear to do anything beneficial on the iMac I am using though (a later model).
    The file location is /private/var/vm/sleepimage
    Configure hibernatemode, verify the file is created, do some work on your Mac, don't save it to disk (and don't use Pages or similar app that saves work on its own), let it sleep, then pull the plug. I think you will see what I mean.

  • HT204406 All of my playlists are missing when I turn on Itunes match on my phone.  Itunes match as been enabled.  I have toggled several times.  Turned off the phone and restarted it.  Also tried restoring the phone.

    My itunes match has been enabled.  I tried toggling several times.  I have restored the phone twice.  None of my playlists are appearing on my phone that are in Itunes.  I have to have these playlists.  Why am I paying for a service that not working properly most of the time.  The other day I could not play all of my songs from my playlist. 

    Try it again. Apple fixed the issue. Turn your Match off and then on again.

  • My time capsule turns on and then turns off...

    my time capsule turns on, then amber light is blinking and then it turns off. the whole story takes 15 sec. any suggestions? is this the end?

    Ok, I'll dismount the harddrive and have a look how it behaves then. If it stays on I'll head for a power supply replacement.
    This seems to be a good disassembly how-to:

  • Time Capsule HDD keeps cycling on and off while my Mac is sleeping

    Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a hurry so just gonna post dot points:
    • My Time Capsule's HDD keeps cycling on and off continuously and potentially doing heaps of damage to it's drive when my MacBook is sleeping.
    • Time Machine is set to automatically backup to my time capsule.
    • As soon as I wake up and log into my MacBook it seems to stop. I checked the time capsule icon immediately and it says "Preparing backup" so I assume it was stuck in that phrase.
    • I assume it backs up normally after waking up
    MacBook Pro Retina:
    • I usually never put my MacBook to sleep by closing the screen, so can't say if this happens when it's in closed screen sleep vs open screened sleep
    • I'm not sure if there's any difference between close screen sleep and open screen sleep
    • It is set to go to sleep automatically after 45mins of inactivity
    • My iTunes Library is stored off-device on a 2TB HDD connected to the Time Capsule
    Cheers,
    Tony

    How old is the TC and on what firmware?
    You have put Mountain Lion for OS.. is that still the case or upgraded to Mavericks??
    There has been some issues at various times with disk spinning up ..
    This thread might give you some clues.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148904?start=0&tstart=0
    Is the computer set to power nap? Try turning that off.
    Try unplugging the external drive with itunes library and see if that helps.
    If it is TM the attempts to start the backup should be in the log.
    See A1 pondini troubleshooting.

  • When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a message saying I need to restart my computer

    When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a simple message that says I need to restart my computer.  any suggestions?

    The message to restart your computer, in multiple languages, is a kernel panic. This is usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory being the leading cause.
    You might want to run the Apple hardware test, which is on the original gray-faced OS X disks that came with the mini. FInd the one that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label, insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. You can also download Rember from http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/ if you want to really test the memory. Set it up and let it run over night.
    See this kernel panic FAQs for other ideas: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

  • How do I use Time Capsule as a wireless router and turn my current one into modem only

    I have a crappy modem/ router and before I purchase a new modem I want to use the modem (no wireless) feature of my router.
    Question #1
    How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
    Question #2
    If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
    Question #3
    How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
    Question #4
    I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
    the main WIFi in my house. I am assuming this is possible it is I just dont know how to go about doing this myslef without guidance, and the Airport Installer is confusing to me.
    Thanks!

    Question #1
    How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/router to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to  configure the Time Capsule to "create a wireless network".  Select the "Bridge Mode" option when it appears during the setup. (AirPort Utility will normally do this for you)
    Question #2
    If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
    Yes
    Question #3
    How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
    We prefer not to guess at things, but since we do not know the make and model number of your modem/router, and this is an Apple support area, we have little choice.
    In general, you would enter the default IP address of the device into your browser to bring up the configuration pages (check your documentatio on the modem/router for this information, or it may be on the back or bottom of the device. An example of a default IP address is something like 192.168.1.254
    There will be a wireless settings page that will allow you turn off the wireless function of the device.
    If you acquired the modem/router from your service provider, they should be able to tell you how to do this as well, or if you check the manufacturer's website, they will likely have a support area for questions like this.
    Question #4
    I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
    the main WIFi in my house.
    You will need to log on to the Time Capsule wireless network from each device and enter the password to connect. Most computers will "remember" the setting so that you do not have to enter the password each time that you connect.
