Time capsule unexpected error message using maverick and utility 6.3
I have a TC 3TB new in last year. I had it set up a to join my home wireless network, it is connected via ethernet to my iMac, and it has been working fine. I updated to mavericks last week and everything was still working fine. Until yesterday. Now my TC is not recognized. I've tried to hard reset it several times and set it up to join as before, I've tried to restore previous settings, and set up a new network, none of these have worked. I continue to get the same message, "an unexpected error occurred" and to try again.
Any suggestions?
AirPort Utility won't let me change the router mode. In fact, I can't even get to the menu shown in the picture you've posted. The button "Other Options", if this should be the way, is innactive...
You need to get in.. connect by ethernet dongle.. and make sure you have an IP from the TC..turn off wireless in the MBPr.
Then if you cannot get into the device do a factory reset.
See instructions on reset.. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
In simple terms.. hold in reset and THEN power on the TC.. keep holding reset until the front led flashes rapidly .. about 10sec. no data is lost from hard disk.
Select the TC in the airport utility
Info on the unit appears. Then click on edit.
That gets you to the manual setup screen..
One last question. For option 1 (all I need is using TC just to back up stuff from my MBPr automatically via Time Machine), should I connect the TP-Link modem/router to the WAN port of TC or to one of its 3 ethernet ports?
Thanks again
In bridge it makes no difference.. but by convention we use WAN to connect to modem.. it helps to keep things clear when you troubleshoot.. but when you bridge.. WAN port is assigned to LAN.
Spell checking is always fun here.. but I refuse to follow the US convention even if normal spell check is forced to US on the website.. my posts always have lots of spelling errors. !!!

the time capsule is giving flashed amber light and i cant connect it to my mac book pro. i want to use it with the time machine to make backup for my mac. please advice me.
To do the setup, plug it in via ethernet.. do not try to setup over wireless.. Once it is setup you can plug the TC into the network and use wireless.
Most likely you will use the TC in bridge to an existing modem router.. but we cannot help as you have no details of the network setup.
I do recommend in the setup of the TC you use SMB type names.. that means, short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. as later Mac OS do have issues with long names, spaces and that apple shocker, the apostrophe. -
Time Capsule disconnected error messages
MacBook Air 2011
I used to have a Time Capsule (2nd generation, I think) that eventually died on me, so I've removed it.
Now I keep getting annoying error messages when starting Chrome:
These delay the start of Chrome as I have to click ok two or three times, often delaying it by up to a minute. Super frustrating.
My Time Machine is turned off and I have deleted the Time Capsule as a backup server, so not sure why it's trying to connect.
Any help would be appreciated.The message is not from chrome though.
You need to check that there is no other reference to the TC in the system.
Check in Finder under Go Connect to server and delete anything there. -
Time Capsule shows error message "Conflicting DHCP Range."
I just set up a wireless network using a Time Capsule as the main router with an Airport Extreme bridged to it so I can have a strong signal downstairs. It all worked fine at first, but at some point the Time Capsule showed this error message on Airport Utility: "Conflicting DHCP Range."
The instructions that pop up when I click on the error message are beyond my level of understanding. They say: "This Airport base station rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. Try switching your Airport Base Station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode. If you still want to use DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, change your DHCP range."
Could one of you tell me what I should do? Thanks.Try switching your Airport Base Station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
I suggest that you do what AirPort Utility suggests.....
Open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Express and click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update to save the settings and give the AirPort Express a minute to restart -

The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
Do the factory reset.
Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
See below.
Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

My airport extreme continuously blinks orange. I have tried unplugging and starting again also pressing the reset button to no avail. It shows as connected to the internet but when selected in airport utility I just receive the message "unexpected error occurred try again" and I can't get past this point. any ideas?
Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -
One of my external hard drives died. I had several iPhoto libraries in it. Fortunately, I used Time Machine to backup to a Time Capsule and I can see all the iPhoto library icons in Backups.
When restoring the first iPhoto library, after three hours, I got an "unexpected error" message and the operation could not be completed. Indeed, the restored library is smaller than the library in Backups. Is my best choice to try again and replace the restored library (which apparently must be missing some photos)? It would mean another 3 hours plus of restoration with fingers crossed...
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!I am always suspicious of using a different OS to the one that was used to run the backup.. ie if you used Snow L to backup then there is absolutely nothing wrong with using SL to restore.
Mount the TC sparsebundle and verify it using disk utility.
A5 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You might also like to load the widget in Time Machine so you get whatever the full error message is..
I cannot find any reference to the error code you are getting..
My recommendation would be to try it on a different computer.. restore the whole backup to an external drive large enough to accept the whole backup.
Use the manual methods pondini recommends.

Time Capsule "Is already in Use" error
My Time Machine app keeps coming back with the message "the backup on Time Capsule is already in use" and does not do new backups. I'm operating Maverick's and using Time Capsule to back up both a laptop and MacMini. I can get it to back up again only by unplugging the Time Capsule and plugging it back in.

I was recently prompted to update my Itunes player to the latest version. I'm using Windows Vista. I was left with an error message MSVCR80.dll and consequently no new update. I uninstalled the old version and have tried to reinstall manually several times. No luck. Consequently I have no player.
Any ideas for a fix?Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software. I purchased a new external drive with 3 TB and wonder if I will run into a problem installing it. I don't know how to transfer my files from the previous HD to the New one. I was told to use a cable, but how do I do it? Do I connect them both to the computer and drag the old into the new? How is it done? Why did this happen, the overloading of the Time Machine?
Why has the TimeMachine drive run out of space?
With the limited amount of information you've provided it is hard to answer this question. TimeMachine should continue making backups until the drive is full and then it should erase the oldest backup(s) to retrieve enough space for the next backup. Unless your computer's hard drive has close to 1TB of space on it, you shouldn't see a message saying TM cannot backup because it is full. However if you do have more than 500GB (1/2 a TB) then I can see how that message might occur. Also, if you are using the TM drive for double duty (backing up more than one computer or storing data other than TM) you could get that message.
Will you have this problem with a 3TB drive?
I always recommend that people look at how much they'll be backing up in total, add a bit extra for the future, and then multiply that by at least 1.5 and even better to double it. That indicates how large the TM backup drive should be. The TM drive should only be used for TM backups. It is ok to use one drive to back up more than one computer but if doing so, add up the contents of all the computer drives, adjust for the future and then double it.
Moving Forward
Disconnect the old TM drive for now. Connect the new drive and let TM do its job. I don't recommend that you try to transfer the TM backup from the old drive to the new one. Keep the old drive around for a couple months just in case you find you need it and then after a few months, if you like, you can erase it and use it for something else. -
I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. JenYou can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !! -
