Time Capsule update not working for a few MAC addresses
Whenever I update the Timed Access Schedule list of MAC addresses, some of the Wireless MAC Addresses I include go back to unlimited access ("Everyday" "all day") after a while.
In other words, the "update" list configuration is accepted and works for some time; but the filter applied to some of the MAC addresses simply stop working after a while; therefore, those MAC addresses go back to the status of unrestricted access.
This is happening consistently and I am not being able to program some MAC addresses in my local network to follow the schedule I wish (i.e., accessing the network only within previously specified.
Has anyone experienced such a problem? Is that a bug? Any hints on how to solve this?

For some reason, all of a sudden my ethernet is not working on my time capsule. My wireless is running fine, but my xbox and tv box are not getting any connection. This does not make any sense to me.
Does anyone know what may cause such an issue?
If you restart the TC does it work again?
Check the connectivity leds on both ends if possible.. certainly each port on the TC has small, micro small LED.. is it green when you are plugged in??
You will need to connect a computer and attempt to ping the TC.. see if it passes packets.
How old is the TC? The model number from the rubber foot please.. A1xxx
And also if you can check the log from a computer if there are any issues.

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi
Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it. -
What to do with Time Capsule when not using for Wireless Internet
I previously connected my Time Capsule to my fiber optic router but in my no home this is no longer needed as the cable TV company now provides 160 MPS Internet in a router that contains a wireless router built in. It works fine. My computer is now connected wirelessly to that router (too far to take advantage of the wired connection).
Therefore I want my Time Capsule to just be connected to the computer for backups. I gather I have to connect it via Lan and make sure it does not transmit r receuve wirelessly. In fact, other wireless computers in the huse occasionally try to log into the old Time Capsule PPoE settings, so I want to erase them and start fresh.
This seems to be similar to what I want t do, but I want to make sure and ask:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/8256674#8256674
If this is not correct, can someone advise.
By the way, I have a first generation Aiport Express that I hope to use with my new cable router (modem?). I assume it will work as it did with the Time Capsule. Purpose is for Airplay with an audio system.
Thanks!Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate it.
To answer your questions in order, but first I should mention that due to work reasons, I will be away from my computer until Friday night Japan time, or Friday AM US time.
Anyway, probably better I go slowly,as I tend to get overwhelmed by technical things.
1) You said: "The TC does NOT require an Internet connection for network connectivity. You DO have to connect the TC by Ethernet to the Fiber Optic router in order for it to gain network connectivity AND to allow network clients to access it."
-->Ok, this is in reference to my Time Capsule and the previous network n myold apartment. But your next question makes me wonder:
2) "Is this Motorola device the one that replaced the Fiber Optic router that you mentioned in your original post? What is its model number? Do you have the TC connected directly to it by Ethernet?"
Ok, this is what I have:
Wall--> Cable modem with wireless (Motorola SURFboard SBG6580J Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.)
Other Room IMAC connected wirelessly to Cable Modem (no Ethenet connection to it since there is no jack and too far to run a cable (permanently--I can do for setup if needed)---> connected to TC and Time Capsule is backing up ok. Time Capsule is also not connected to the Modem
3) "Since you will only want to use the Time Capsule for Time Machine backups, I understood that you wanted to disable its wireless network. If this is still the case, the Express would need to be configured to join the wireless network provided by the Motorola wireless router."
Yes, This is what I am wondering. Do I have to connect it by LAN to the Motorola? A few times, when it was just plugged into the Wall, my Mac airport utility found but them could not connect to my Express. maybe because I did not configure it to work with the Motorola as you say.
4)
"By default the Express will broadcast its own wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. You would need to connect to this network with your computer prior to attempting to access it with the AirPort Utility. Another option would be to temporarily connect it, by Ethernet, to the Motorola router during its setup phase. Once completed you can move it to the desired location."
Ok, this confirms what I guessed. Connecting the computer to the Expressby Lan? Is that what you mean?
I do understand the second option---connecting the Express to the Motorola.
If that is right, I can try that. Do I need to do anything other than connect it?
I will be able to try this Friday or Saturday I hope.
Once again. thanks for all your help. Really appreciate your taking the time to explain it.

My Time Capsule suddenly stopped working, and i can not even mount it anymore. When i ask for a backup, the time machine keeps looking for a disk with no success.
I tried all the FAQs suggestions:
1) I change the name of the disk using Airport Utility;
2) I updated it using Airport Utility.
Now i can not even try to erase the disk because after to update it, the disk in not listed anymore.
Now i can just read a "internal disk needs repair" message. that wasn't there before, having in mind that the first response was "there is no space at the disk for a backup".
What can i do?The TC has a fault..
Power it down and let it cool off overnight. Power it on again the next morning and check if it works.. no luck factory reset.. do all the tests quickly as you have 10-20min before the Temp rises to kill it again.
No luck it is dead.. give us the actual model number.. A1xxx from the base.
How old is it?? Beyond 3years they do become dodgy. -
Time Capsule backup not working anymore after upgrade to Snow Leopard
Hi,
after I upgraded to Snow Leopard I started the backup process with the time capsule. Within several days I tried this about 5 times and the iMac crashed or froze after some time doing the backup - but it never completed.
I then deleted the whole content of the time capsule and started a fresh backup. Now I receive a message after some gigabyte that there was a problem and I should try it again. Again the backup has not finished so far. I tried to reduce the amount of files to backup by excluding folders - no chance. Since the upgrade to snow I was not able to complete one single backup.
Any ideas or similar experience?I have had a similar problem. I have the latest 1TB Time Capsule and backup worked fine in Leopard. I am backing up over my home wireless network. The backup starts, but at some point it freezes with the spinning pizza wheel if I click on anything. Everything freezes with no possibility of force quitting any application.
I tried trashing the plist for Time Machine, but that didn't work. Tonight I'm going to try a backup with the computer connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet.
I can access my existing Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule.
This is a frustrating situation. But for this, SL works great, but this problem is a critical one. -
My siri is not working for a few days now..?
pls help me , my siri has not been working for a few days now ... pls advice
Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

I am having problems with my time capsule.
It's not backing up... if I enter the time machine, all I see is a black page, any day I look, since the day I bought it.
Was not like this before Oct 25...
Any ideas on what's going on and what should I do to make it work again?Check the USB cable first to make sure that it is operating correctly on another connection.
You may need to use a powered USB hub with the drive since the USB port on the Time Capsule is not a high powered port like you have on your Mac.
You may need to use the powered hub even if the hard drive has its own external power supply. -

Adobe Updater not working for CS4
I have installed CS4 Master Collection on a new Windows 7 PC and it is working, but Adobe Updater isn't working properly. It first installed a few updates that were correct, but now it can't find the remaining updates (which I know exist).
The message is "Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time," and then it lists most of the products.
I know that CS4 isn't supported any more, but I would have expected Adobe Updater to at least apply the remaining available patches.
I found another thread where it suggested the updates shown depend on the system clock. (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/913379). I set it to earlier and it briefly found the updates, but it seems to cause Adobe Updater to become unstable, so that hasn't worked for me. There was a suggestion that the Adobe certificate may be out of date (thus the System Clock fix works for some), perhaps Adobe needs to update its certificates?
How can I get Adobe Updater to apply remaining patches? Thanks.update directly, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

ATT hooked up the new U-verse router replacing the older 2wire router. Old 2wire router worked fine with Airport +Time Capsule. Now only the amber light flashes. When I try to reconnect with Time Machine it does not find the Time Capsule nor does the airport utility find the Time Capsule. Any help?
Okay, the 3801HGV also doesn't bridge - but there is a workaround. Info on the workaround comes from 'SomeJoe7777' at this link:
http://forums.att.com/t5/Residential-Gateway/U-verse-for-BUSINESS-2Wire-3600HGV- bridge-mode-or-another-AT-amp/td-p/2707013
As for connecting to your TC: the 3801HGV uses a default IP address of 192.168.1.254. It passes out IP addresses to your networked devices, and all of those IP addresses will be 192.168.1.something. The TC uses a default IP address of 10.0.1.1. As your primary router, if the TC's defaults weren't changed, the TC would be handing out addresses to your networked devices that are 10.0.1.something.
If your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.something, it won't be able to see the TC if the TC's address is 10.0.1.1 (or anything else that's not 192.168.1.something). Hopefully that makes sense!
Go into System Preferences on your Mac, and click the Network icon. Click on Ethernet on the left side, and you'll be able to see what IP address your Mac has been given. My guess is that it has a 192.168.1.something address from the 3801HGV.
If I'm right about the 192.168.1.x address, and that your TC is running with 10.0.1.x addresses, then that's why your Mac can't see your TC. In this case, you need to change the Mac's Ethernet setup to manually set your Mac to a 10.0.1.x address for the TC to see. To do this, go to System Preferences, then Network, then click Ethernet on the left side.
Set the Configure IPv4 dropdown to 'Manually', and it will open up some places for you to fill in information:
IP Address: 10.0.1.15 (or a similar number that won't conflict with your TC's address, but starts with 10.0.1)
Subnet Mask: put in 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1 (I'm assuming here that your TC was running with the default IP address; if it was something different, then set Router to whatever IP address your TC was using.)
Then, click the Apply button to make your changes active.
Now, since your Mac's IP address will be in the right "subnet" for your TC, they should be able to see each other. (It's kind of like having to live on the same block as someone to be able to talk with them. In general, if your computers don't have similar addresses, they can't talk to each other. Of course that's simplified greatly, but you probably get the idea...)
Once you've got the IP addresses matched up, you should be able to see your TC. At that point, you can update the TC to work with the 3801HGV. I recommend setting it to bridge mode, but if you can follow SomeJoe7777's advice, go for it! -
My time capsule wifi is not working. I believe the issue happened around a couple upgrades ago.
I've searched the internet the found that others have downgraded airport utility and time capsule firmware.
Airport Utility - 5.6.1
Time Capsule - 7.5.2
OS x yosemite
I'm able to see the time capsule and backup but I can't see the wifi SID.That is gen3 and getting well past the 3year reliable period.
I think you are simply due for replacement.
You can update the firmware to 7.6.4 although on these old units I recommend no greater than 7.6.1
And I doubt it will fix anything. There is no reason 7.5.2 should not work.
I am unsure how you are getting 5.6 utility to work in Yosemite.. but try using the native airport utility.. which is 6.3
Please open the airport utility and set fixed names for wireless and the base station that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Then lock the wireless channel but put no wireless password onto the TC .. if it still won't work, sorry it is dead on the wireless side and it is time to replace. -
Time capsule is not working!!!! help me!!!
Ok my time capsule is showing an amber light and will not connect to internet i've had it for 6 months and it was working now it will not.
ok so I know my internet is working because i have a hard line on one computer and that one is connected. I've been told to open airport utilities and the network then to switch IP address,subnet mask, Router and DNS server. So I switched utilities info with network info and it did not work(has worked in the past). I really don't know what to do Im not very tech smart so please help me!! school starts soon and i need my network up.
oh and I've talked to my internet providers they are unhelpful, they say the internet is working so its not their problem..and i understand that but a little help would be nice...oh and I have talked to a friend who works for apple and she could not help so please help!!...lol thanksUnder Internet Connection in the Airport Utility, what have you got for Configure IPv4?

Time capsule backup not working - again!
My 2TB Time Capsule has been causing problems recently - hanging and not backing up completely - and also causing my iMac to hang with the spiining beachball of death. I have other backups so I decided to erase and start again - but, three times now it has backed up OK for the first few GB - saying it would take one day to complete the 1TB backup. But, each time it gets to 18.65 GB - and then says it wil take 26 days! I left it for another day and it had only backed up less than one more GB.
Why is this happening? Why does it hang at the same amount? I have even erased it completely - which took 8 hours - yet still the same problem!
I have tried everything that seems relevant in Pondini's list (and deleted time machine .plist)
What else can I do? This is driving me crazy!Hi
Thanks for your advice. I erased the drive in the TC - first attempt was via quick erase then later via an overnight complete erase.
I am now giving up on this backup - which now shows it will take 29 days! It has actually reached 23.7 GB now. However, as I said earlier it backed up the first 17 GB in about as many minutes - then, on each attempt it has got slower and slower - until now at only 23.7 GB it will take a month!
I have now detached the TC from wirelss,leaving only an ethernet connection. I will try and reformat and start all over again!
