Time Capsule - very slow

I recently bought time capsule. Have two mac's, the first one connected and downloaded backup fine and now backs up automatically. The second Mac (new model) says it will take about 30 days to complete download (download is amller on new mac than old mac!). Overnight download less than 1 gig of total 48 gig download. Both connected to same wirless network. Any ideas?

Is the OS Lion.. there is an issue.. Apple bungled the update.
You need to install a supplement to patch the update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599
For lion also use 5.6 utility to help ..
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
For Mountain Lion.. well it is the excellent standard of the ML networking.. !!
Apple do not recognise there is a bug. So ML must have the networking of wet string by design.

Time Capsule VERY slow ethernet back-up on my iMac

Hi anyone who can help....I'm getting really frustrated with Time machine
It seems quite afew people are experiencing problems with TC....
BUT they all seem to have different issues. Mine is simple.
As a wireless network it works just fine, last weekend i had some friends over and we had 4 laptops going at once - speed was fine
Backing up - My G4 powerbook works FLAWLESSLY, backing up wirelessly.
BUT...My G4 iMac (connected directly via ethernet cable) hasn't been able to do a back-up since got it. It gets stuck on preparing or takes day's (Yep DAY's) to do a few 100 MB.....
Obvoiusly the TC is working, but not the wired connection. I can't try my iMac wirelessly, as it doesn't have an airport card
ANY suggestions? Oh and I don't have any virus software installed

Andrew,
*_Slow Time Capsule Transfer Via Ethernet_*
*Disable Anti-Virus Software*
“Using virus scanning software can make Time Machine backups very slow. If you use Norton Antivirus 10 AutoProtect or a similar product, try turning it off during backups.” [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15140.html]
*Create An “Ethernet Only” Location*
While you are physically connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet you may still be experiencing slow data transfer speeds because your Airport network is still active and taking priority.
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
Click “Done”.
In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
You should still have internet access during this period.
Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
*Adjust Ethernet Speed*
Open Network Preferences.
With Built-in Ethernet selected on the left, click "Advanced" in the lower right.
Click "Ethernet" tab on the far right.
What is selected beside "Speed"?
Try changing this setting and see if it makes a difference.
Next launch Airport Utility.
Select the Time Capsule on the left.
Click “Manual Setup”.
Select “Internet” from the toolbar.
Click “Internet Connection” tab.
Near the bottom verify that “Ethernet WAN Port” is not set to a slower speed. Either choose “Automatic” or the fasted speed available.
If you have made any changes, click “Update”. 
*Slow Full Backup After Restore*
Try either deleting the “old” backup disk image or copying it to another disk. Then start the “new” full backup again. Some users have experienced improved speed when the “old” disk image was removed from the backup disk.
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

IMac Time Capsule OK, Macbook Air Time Capsule Very Slow, both 10.9.5

I am struggling for more than a week trying to find an answer, but failed, hope someone can help me out
It seems after I upgraded to 10.9.5, a message on my Macbook appeared that I believe advised me to do a new full back-up on my Time Capsule. I did, it was slow, few MB after 1 hour or so, so I cancelled it. Whatever I tried, it remains a problem, I am now backing up 180GB to a 2TB Time Capsule, and it is at 53GB after 10 hours, now running at about 1GB/3 hours. My iMac, also on 10.9.5, connected to the very same Time Capsule on the same network runs smoothly, backing up 850GB in 8 hours or so.
What I have done so far, that did not help:
- Reformatted my Time Capsule completely,
- Run Disk Utility on Macbook, Repair Disk permission, Repair Disk.
- After Repair Disk Permissions it completes OK, but when I immediately run it again if finds the same problems, which it says have been corrected, see screenshot
- Disconnected my iMac from the network, sticked the very same network cable in my MacBook, ran Time Machine again, no difference
My set up:
1x Macbook Air, mid 2002, 250GB of which 70GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
1x iMac, beginning 2009, 1TB of which 150GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
1x Time Capsule 2TB, running latest firmware 7.6.4
All networked to the same network, no wireless connections
Prior to 10.9.5 I did not have this problem. I am pretty much lost. Anybody?

USB to ethernet has never been great.. although why it is worse with 10.9.5 is typical quality of apple upgrades these days.
7GB/hr sure aint fast.. it will go fairly slowly over the small files but should speed up on the larger ones.
I would take another step.. since you have come this far..
Check your wireless link speed. Depending on the age of the TC (yours in gen4) and the air.. you link speed should show 450mbps in the wifi on the mac.
Check it now..
Transmit rate should show 450.. you might need to setup close to the TC to get it.
But I achieve that by setting different names for the two bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
By default my mac will choose 2.4ghz .. because it is based on the best signal not the best speed. On 2.4ghz it can achieve 217Mbps max. Usually it will drop to 130. So by using a different name I can force the connection to the highest speed.
As you can probably tell.. IMHO using auto for everything is a great way to get things to work.. but how well they work is optimised by a committee.
Setting all the factors myself I set what I want and produce a racehorse instead of a camel.
(It is a typical joke.. camel is a horse designed by a committee!!).

Time Capsule - Very slow and eventually unresponsive over wi-fi.

Hi,
I've been using my TC for some time now, but it was the first time I had to recover a file. I know it's slow as **** to backup over wi-fi and that it takes aaages to "prepare" the backup. Also I did the initial backup using a cable and not wi-fi.
My question is: Why is it SO slow to browse and restore small files from a not-so-far-away backup, like, from yesterday? First, when I tried to browse the previous versions of the file it took aaaages to show the contents of the folder and eventually crashed while I stared incredulous the screen...
Then when I tried again it took it a very long time to browse the folder (I went for a coffee...) and then another 5 minutes to restore a very small file.
I know it's not supposed to be blinking fast, but it's borderline unusable. Isn't it supposed to be at least "not annoying"?

Experiencing the same problem. Drag/Dropping a 30Mb file from my HD to TC takes about a minute. Tried about all suggestions and didn't see an improvement. TC is in 5GHZ n mode with only my iMac as a client. Speeds should be around 9 Mb/s instead of the 0.5 Mb/s I'm observing. I've switched off Spotlight indexing for TC, de-activated the Airport status indicator, did several hard resets of TC and put ACK at zero instead of the default value of 3. No major impact; my 30Mb file continues to be transferred in around 60 seconds from iMac to TC. I read one comment that TC might be sensitive to heat, so my next trial-and-error initiative will be to put TC in a cooler spot to see if this has an effect. I'm very eager to learn how to get TC up to 9 Mb/s and hope Apple will pick up on this discussion. I assume they're very aware of the issue as there's quite some discussion going on on this topic. One thing I also tried was downgrading TC firmware to a more stable version, where Airport Extreme v5.5 was advised. I didn't succeed, assuming this old version is not compatible with my Intel Mac. I would like to know if there's a stable robust throughput firmware version available for TC I could downgrade to...??

Time capsule painfully slow wifi

New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?

Download the free iStumbler app to examine the strength of your connection.
If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc. Turn them off temporarily; if you find an offender, move it farther away. See AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for more.
Try different WIFI channels.

Printing to HP Laserjet 2100 via Time Capsule very very slow

If I connect the above printer directly to my Macbook (OS 10.5.2) it prints fine, at reasonable speed and quality.
Connected via the Time Capsule a half-page text document takes about 4-5 minutes to print.
I have updated the printer driver from this link http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs - the driver name is HP Laserjet Foomatic/hpijs
Using the standard 2100 Kaserjet driver offered by the operating system didn't work at all.
The printer is connect via USB using a USB to Parallel converter cable which again works fine when connected to my Mac directly (and to my PC).
I have restarted the Time Capsule.
What else can I try?
Richard

HELP! Time Capsule painfully slow

OK, so I bought a new 1TB Time Capsule yesterday.
I installed it yesterday and during configuration, it copied over the profile from my old Airport Base Station.
My internet slowed down dramatically (1.5B per dsl reports) and I started my Time Machine backup before going to bed. When I woke up, it had backed up 18GB of 240GB!
When I came home tonight, I reset the unit and recreated my network from scratch manually.
My internet is back up to 4.2mb (per dsl reports again), but the backup speed is only about 500K/minute.
What am I doing wrong?!?!? If this is the true speed of TC, I feel very duped by Apple. There is no way this a viable wireless backup device at these speeds!

Just to offer you an example of one series of performance read/write testing of the Time Capsule (TC), the following is an excerpt from MacInTouch Special Reports for a speed comparison of the internal hard drive vs. a USB drive attached to the TC. This is just one example, others may show different results, but this should give you an idea of what could be expected for comparison to what you are experiencing.
"It's not a speed demon, but it is very consistent, yielding 10.2 MB/sec. for reads and 8.9 MB/sec. for writes in AJA Kona System Test, over a 5-GHz, 802.11n wireless connection from our Mac Pro. Over Gigabit Ethernet wiring, we saw 17.1 MB/sec. for reads and 12.6 MB/sec. for writes.
The external USB hard drive we tested was somewhat slower, with 16.7 MB/sec. reads and 8.9 MB/sec. writes over Gigabit Ethernet wiring. But, using the USB disk over 802.11n wireless was much slower, yet, than using the internal disk."
Even Apple recommends that the first Time Machine backup should be done with your Mac connected by Ethernet to the TC. (ref: Backing up with Time Capsule for the first time)

Time Capsule too slow with PLC

Hello.
Currently I have a wifi modem router (802.11g) Zyxel whose ports ethernet (10/100) have connected the following:
- Port 1 mac pro
- Port 2 NAS 2TB Raid 5 where have all the movies in HD (720p and 1080p), home videos, music, photos, etc..
- Port 3 PLC adapter Devolo dlan 200 AV http://www.devolo.com/consumer/7dlan-200-aveasy_starter-kit_product-presentation1.html?l=en
All this is in my home office.
In the bedroom of my oldest son, I have a PLC adapter which connects your PC and / or console. Also use a macbook by wifi.
In the room of my youngest son, another PLC adapter which connects your MacMini and / or console.
In the lounge have another PLC adapter that is connected to a multimedia disc DVICO TVIX M6500 http://www.tvix.co.kr/ENG/products/HDM6500.aspx
This disc I have configured to connect to the NAS and can see all the content (especially HD movies) smoothly cuts or breaks in the image and sound.
Now I buy a Time Capsule 1TB. Following instructions, I connected a Zyxel modem port to the WAN input of TC (I canceled the Zyxel wifi).
I connected to port 1 of the TC the mac pro, the NAS to port 2 and to port 3 the PLC adapter, but I have a problem set transfer rate:
From the lounge, when I connect the disk media and I want to watch any movie (even in PAL) to play me jumping on the image and sound. It is as if the ports were only a 10mb ethernet. They lack the data transfer rate (I tested on all three)
Interestingly, the TC wifi (802.11n) works properly and the macbook can see all the movies in HD without problems of jumps in the image (which with Zyxel wifi was impossible)
I've been looking in all possible configurations and find nothing.
The network works because I see all the computers, but is very slow.
Theoretically, the PLC adapter is transparent in an ethernet network and does not influence the rate of data transfer.
It is as if they were incompatible the TC Gigabit ports with the PLC adapter.
Any idea?
Greetings

What I did was to connect an ethernet port of Time Capsule back to the ethernet port of my mac book pro but nothing changed. Still very slow in backupx
Yes, that's what I meant, sorry.
and my internet connection is unstable reqularly disconnecting...
That may be the main problem. Time Machine may be just an innocent victim.
A easy way to tell is to just disconnect from the Internet for a while, and see if the backups improve, via Ethernet. If not, be sure it's not still using WIFI -- turn WIFI off to force it to use Ethernet.
If it does improve, that would implicate something in your setup or connection to your DSL modem. That's out of my area of expertise, but there are some networking gurus here who can help.
If it doesn't improve greatly, see the green box in #D2 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting. Something there should fix it.

Time Capsule extremely slow recover

Hi and tnxs for reading.
Since my iPhoto Library has been corrupted, I am trying to test some old versions/backup by restoring them from my Time Capsule (2TB last version on the Apple Store), but unfortunately the process is extremely slow. My iPhoto Library is 35GB and the required time for the transfer is about 5 days!!
I did some tests: no prob with the WiFi: if I try to manually transfer a 1GB file on WiFi in the finder from my Mac to the TC disk it takes a few minutes. However, the iPhoto Library recover from TC is taking ages... any idea??

The iphoto library is a huge number of small files.. not one big file.
Wireless is extremely inefficient at handling the data stream plus all the back and forth file info required .. please use ethernet.
Simply plug in ethernet.. make sure you have a connection then turn wireless off.. If it stops the file transfer I am very sorry. You will need to start over most likely.
IPv6 can also help but you need it set correctly to link local only .. auto is not good enough.

Time Capsule 500G Slow Page Loads On iMac OS 10.4.11?

Recently set up a 500g Dual Band Time Capsule and everything works fine my Macbooks works fine other Macbooks work fine.
But a white iMac on 10.4.11 seems to be having problems
It has 4 bars in the wireless signal, all the green lights on the network diagnosis.
Yet pages seem to load very slow if not at all, more times than not. Sometimes will be fine.
Anything i can do with the Airport Extreme, have them as a guess or direct connect or something? To help it along?
Not sure of all the options the time capsule might have to help me thats all...
Any recommendations?
Oh and any apps that record the connection, so i can see when it drops and doesn't and see if there is a pattern istumbler do that?

There's no need for concern about the repair permissions ACL message; it doesn't affect you.
What does affect you is the fact that one of your systems is running 10.4.4 and it needs to be updated to 10.4.11. As it stands now, it's both a security risk and way out of date. You need to update it today.
If you want to run any system utilities, the only one you really need is Applejack. Since you have nothing that's super-secret, there's no point in worrying about securely erasing anything. Even if somebody wanted to do that, they'd first have to break into your Mac and have a good idea of what they're looking for, or steal it altogether to have enough time to recover the data on it and then wade through all the useless junk before they might find anything interesting. Unless you're the CIA and have something worth hiding on your Mac, that's overkill.

Time Capsule (A1409): slow file access problem and how do we create a back up of the files on timecapsule?

Time Capsule: We have a model no A1049 our network (installed by someone no longer working with us, so I don't know how it was set up or how to access any settings other than via Airport Utility)
We use it for our central file storage, and as a disk for timemachine backups from the several macs we use here.
The time capsule is running but we have slow access to files, it takes ages to bring up the list of files available, can I fix this?
I have just updated the firmware.
I would also like to know how I can back up these files to another disk.
I have searched the manuals and also the support community but I can't find the answers or any instructions other than the manuals and would appreciate help.
Thank you

The Time Capsule was designed to handle Time Machine backups from one or more Mac computers, and it will work reasonably well for that purpose.
But.....and this is a big BUT......it will not work very well at all if you try to make it act as a file server, since the disk spin up time is quite slow among other things like slow read times from the disk.
Suggest that you get with an IT specialist who can recommend the right file server solution for your network based on your needs.
As far as backing up the data on the Time Capsule, the simplest way to do this is connect a USB drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use the built in Archive function in AirPort Utility to make a complete copy of all of the data on the Time Capsule.
Unfortunately, the simplest way is also the slowest and the Time Capsule will not be available for Time Machine backups or file serving during the Archive procedure, which will likely take 4-6 hours or so depending on how much data might be on the Time Capsule. A good time to do this might be late at night, so the Archive copying will run overnight.
Another better option would be to use a commercially available application, like Carbon Copy Cloner to automatically back up the Time Capsule disk each day at a time that you choose. The advantage to doing it this way is that CCC will only back up the changes that have occurred since the last back up, so once the first "master" backup is done, the subsequent "incremental" backups will only take a few minutes each day.
Your IT specialist / consultant will likely have other suggestions for you as well. The advice that we have offered here is meant to be general in nature and not specific to your particular needs.

Time Machine very slow when backup disk almost full

My Time Machine backups on a Time Capsule (first generation, 1 TB) have become extremely slow recently. The disk is almost full, but I don't think that should be a problem as Time Machine deletes the oldest backups by itself. It has been, so I don't think that in itself should cause a problem.
This becomes particularly annoying because whenever backups are going on, the system doesn't allow me to access the "Open" or "Save" dialogues - probably because it wants to check the Time Machine disk, but can't, or only can very slowly. Whenever I do this, the app in question just freezes.
Anyone else has this problem, and does anyone know a fix? I don't want to start a new backup if I can avoid it.

Thank you. Did that, and it seems to be working now - though it actually seemed to have got better even before I ran Disk Utility. Before, even rebooting didn't help.
Yes, if there's a problem inside he sparse bundle, rebooting (the Mac and/or TC) won't help.
Time Machine is a great technology, but it seems to have strange quirks sometimes
It does indeed!
Once again, thank you.
You're quite welcome, and thanks for the star!

Backup to time capsule very long

I had a backup issue and had to delete the computer sparsebubdle image and backup again.
Time Capsule is 2T, available 1.60T. I need to backup 950G and it is VERY slow. Is has backed up only 75G in 2 days and it estimates to need 20 more days Is it a normal spped? If not what should I do?
thanks, Cris

Do you mean the TC (Time Capsule) and not TM (Time Machine)?
When you say the iMac is directly connected to the TC (your TM) do you mean it is phyiscally connected to the iMac by USB or Firewire cable? Or that the iMac is Wired to your internet Router and or Time Capsule by Ethernet cable. Because one it totally different then the other.
At most I get around 85 to 100+ MBs (that is Mega Bytes a Second) going over my Gigabit Ethernet LAN from one computer to another both with FAST drivers in them. When going from one of my computers to another that is older and has slower drivers sometimes I only get 35-50 MBs transfers.
If you take both of those numbers and divide them into your total 950GBs of data the time to transfer all of it would be DAYS if not weeks.
You are backing up 950GBs. That is Nine Hundred Fifty "Billion" Bytes (Nine Hundred Fifty "Thousand" "Million" Bytes) (950000, Million) of data. At any of the normal current transfer rates available to the Home and Small Business market, at a reasonal price, that transfer is goiing to take what you are seeing.
Even if you had a 2 or 3 Terabyte (That is Trillion or 1 thousand Billion) external connected directly to your Mac, even at USB 3 speeds or Thunderbolt speeds, the transfer would take almost as long. If you only had USB 2 speeds it would take longer. So no don't disconnect it just let it run.
But I suggest you go through all the files you have and find some you don't need or that you can off load to an external drives that do not need to be on your internal Mac hard drive. 950GBs of Data is a whole lot of Data.
I've been usiing computers for over 20 years and have most every file I have ever created, and do a lot of photography, along with tons of Work files and don't have near that much data on any of my computers.

Time Machine Very Slow (321 Days) Please Help!

Hi all, I've got a 2012 MBP and have had problems with TM since day one.
I'm running all the latest software with a brand new Time Capsule and it states that it will take over 300 days to back up.
I originally used a NAS and TM was very very slow along with having to reformat and start again every few weeks so I gave in and got a TC thinking it would solve my problems but it's returned again.
I've tried reformatting, disabling spotlight, wired and wireless connections, different hard drives and still the problem persists. Occasionally it also fails to find the backup disk so I have to reformat and start again.
It's driving me absolutely insane because despite messing and messing, trying different solutions the problem always seems to return at random. It will work great for a week or 2 then it's back to square one.
Can someone please restore my sanity and help?

To update, I got up this morning and it was still stating some 22 days after copying a few gb in 18 hours so I restarted (again). TM then stated it couldn't find the back up disk so I again pointed it to the right disk and it now appears to be stuck again after doing over a gb in a minute or two.
Here's the info requested.

Time Machine (Time Capsule) INSANELY slow on one mac (millions of days to backup)

I have been experiencing impossibly slow speeds backing up to a Time Capsule from a MacBook Pro 2.2GHz i7 running 10.7.3 (and many previous versions of the OS). As you can see in the attached image, transfer speeds are slower than if I were to manually type out the data, with estimated completion times of over 80 million days.
The Time Capsule is "joining" my existing network.
Things I have tried:
     - Connecting Time Capsule directly to router (three different ones, different cables)
     - Tried three completely different networks
     - Changing each network's channels, etc. to eliminate interference (my Web speeds are blazing, so this wouldn't be it anyway)
     - Renaming Mac (Sharing prefs) and Time Capsule with short, alphanumeric-only names
     - Restarting/reformatting Time Capsule
     - Buying a NEW Time Capsule as a last resort (turned out not to be)
I discovered that my MacBook Air, which I hadn't previously been backing up, works just fine and completed a wireless backup of several hundred GB in under 48 hours.
I am hesitant to do a wipe and install of my OS as this is my production computer for all of my video work, and I rely on many software packages and add-ons (which of course should be considered suspects).
Has anyone else experienced such insanely not-great speeds with their Time Capsule?
I am about to try backing up to a Thunderbolt drive to see if it still suffers.

I forgot to mention that one. I scoured the "All about TIME MACHINE" info, including 'D2. Backup is slow or "hung"' to no avail. I have Time Machine Buddy (widget) installed as that page recommended, and I am not seeing any messages it says to look out for. The reports are all very clean w/ no alarm bells whatsoever.

Time Capsule - very slow
