Time Capsule - Windows 7 can't see disks

Just purchased a Time Capsule 1 TB and installed it. I have 2 PC's connecting to it. One is a Windows Desktop running Windows 7 RC (final). It sees the Time Capsule, printer, and disks. That's cool.
However, I have an HP laptop that is connecting to the Time Capsule. It sees the printer just fine, but when I try to access the disk it gives me the error message:
"Unknown user, inncorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact..."
I have tried virtually every option (wired or wireless access, etc.). Currently disk access is setup to use Accounts, with passwords. But I've tried it the other ways. It's making me crazy!
Anybody got any ideas?

Tesserax,
Thanks for the quick response, but no luck. I followed your steps. There were a couple of differences for me:
1. I have two "Network security: minimum session..." sections. Presumably because I have a Wireless and a wired connection or have at one time.
2. I wanted to make sure the 7th step was in the same area "User Rights Assignment" and not some other "policy" area that I missed.
o From the Win7 desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK

  • I bought 2 mac book pros and have time capsule connected to router. Both computers can see time capsule but i can not see other computers.

    I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

  • Time capsule on - but can't see it

    My Time Capsule is on with a green light and connected to my modem (by ethernet cable - WAN port to the modem), but I can see it on neither on my Mac Book, nor my PC. I set up up as my router with support from Apple: I would like to use it to back up files now. I'd previously been connected and run a back up using Time Machine from the portable - but Time capsule is no longer visible and rescan does not pick it up (even though the green light is on). Do I really have to reset it and reconfigure everytime I switch on my PC? It seems very time-consuming, but I'd really need to be able to do backups. Are there intrinsic problems with its use with PCs?

    Sorry, I see there is a unanswered thread for exactly this issue. I'll call this answered, even though it isn't.

  • Moved iTunes library to Time Capsule and now can't see music in iTunes

    G'day People
    I moved my iTunes library to my Time Capsule and pointed iTunes to the new location via Preferences - > Advanced.
    However, when I start up iTunes, it's empty. When I check the Preferences in iTunes, the location of the library is correct, that is, my music folder on my Time Capsule.
    Has anybody else had this problem or know why my library is blank when, in fact, iTunes IS pointing to the location that holds the library?

    I moved my iTunes library
    What exactly did you move?
    and pointed iTunes to the new location via Preferences - > Advanced.
    That simply tells iTunes where to store music in the future.
    However, when I start up iTunes, it's empty. When I check the Preferences in iTunes, the location of the library is correct, that is, my music folder on my Time Capsule.
    No, that is the location of the iTunes music folder.
    The iTunes library contasts of the \Music\iTUnes folder and all contents and the iTunes music. wherever it may be located.
    Let's try and fix it.
    Again, what exactly did you move?

  • Can I use Time Capsule only as a WiFi backup disk w/out having to configure it as my main router?

    I already have an Airport Extreme that works great. Can I use Time Capsule ONLY as a WiFi backup disk w/out having to configure it as my main router with my Internet modem?

    Can I use Time Capsule ONLY as a WiFi backup disk w/out having to configure it as my main router with my Internet modem?
    Yes, you have two options here, each with advantages and disadvantages.
    Option 1...connect the Time Capsule to your AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet cable connection. Turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule since your AirPort Extreme is already providing wireless.
    Advantages...easy to configure, you can backup either over wireless or plug directly into one of the Ethernet ports to backup large files 3-5 times faster than wireless.
    Disadvantages...none, except it requires a wired Ethernet connection to the AirPort Extreme.
    Option 2....configure the Time Capsule as a wireless only hard drive.
    Advantage.....you can locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want as long as it can receive a good wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme.
    Disadvantages....harder to configure, backups will occur only over wireless.

  • Can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    It seems the ability to restore from backup discs was removed along with the ability to create them. You will need to temporarily install an older version of iTunes (e.g. 10.3) to recover the media from those discs.
    See Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I for a previous thread discussing this.

  • Can't print through Time Capsule, but I can using USB to my MacBook

    I posted something similar in the Time Capsule forum, but thought I'd try here too. I just got a new Canon MF4690, and I can print to it using USB from my MacBook just fine. Not so when printing wirelessly through Time Capsule. I can see the printer, but the job stops every time. When I set up the printer the driver is "generic" using the Time Capsule connection, but has the specific model number when I add the printer using USB.
    I can see the printer in the Printer preference pane, and in Airport Utility, but when I print a job, under "status", it says "stopped". I'm baffled that this is happening! I hope someone can help.

    Would I connect my Canon to the TC and set up the printer? Do I choose IP, AppleTalk or Other?
    If the TC is providing the wireless access and is your only Ethernet hub, then yes you would connect directly to it. If you have another Ethernet hub connected to the TC, then you could connect the Canon to it. Either way, you want to use the Ethernet connection of the Canon and set a valid ip address in it.
    With an ip address set, you can then add the printer by using the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) menu. This window lets you enter the ip address of the Canon and a queue name of LP. Then when you press okay, the UFR2 software should select the correct driver for your printer.

  • I have just changed my ISP and they have informed me that i have to change the IP address on my time capsule. Please can someone tell me how todo this? Thanks

    I have just changed my ISP and they have informed me that i have to change the IP address on my time capsule. Please can someone tell me how todo this? Thanks

    This should really be unnecessary but anyway..
    If you mean the internal IP of the TC, the it can be changed by changing the dhcp settings.. which is weird.
    It looks a bit different in the v6 utility but is easy to do..
    See the DHCP beginning address is split into sections.. change the front section from 10.0 to 192.168
    Then update the TC.. then you will need to change everything on the network as the IP will need to change.. I recommend you simply turn everything off and then on again in correct order.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap.

  • I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing wifi network

    I'm trying to extend my wifi network with time capsule but it can't find the existing BT wifi network even though it is there with a good signal strength. The Time Capsule is connected to a Netgear router via ethernet.

    You will need to start over on the setup of the Time Capsule as follows:
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be connected to the Time Capsule, but leave it powered on
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 8-10 seconds and release. The reset button is located next to the AC power socket.
    Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Netgear to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.  The Ethernet cable must remain connected at all times.
    Click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a setting of New AirPort Base Station
    Click on Time Capsule
    The example below shows an AirPort Express. You will see Time Capsule on your screen.
    That will get the setup wizard going. It will take a minute to analyze the settings, then display a screen that looks like this, except you will see a picture of the Time Capsule
    Network Name..........Type in the exact name that the Netgear wireless is using
    Base Station.............Type in a name that you want to call the Time Capsule.  Use something short and simple. Mine is TC, for example
    Password..................Type in the exact password that the Netgear wireless requires
    Verify.........................Verify the Password again
    Click Next
    The setup wizard will configure everything for you automatically.  When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Now you have one big "extended" network.  Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.

  • Trouble Writing Large Files to Time Capsule - Windows 7

    Hi
    I'm having some trouble with my Time Capsule. I can access it and read files from it fine. However, I have trouble writing files to it. Small files ( say multiple word docs) write fine. However, with medium size files (say 120 mb) it crashes. I have noticed that no matter how large the file is, it writes up to 10% of the file very quickly but then crashes. It fails with the error message that 'the network location specified is no longer available'. Sometimes, when it crashes, it essentially crashes my Time Capsule network. I.E I am still connected to the internet but I can access the Time Capsule.
    I used to be able to write files (when I was using Vista) no problem. I still have 250gb left.
    What can I do to fix this?
    For details:
    500gb Time Capsule
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium

    anyone know how to help?

  • My Time Machine / Time capsule gets the error:  The backup disk image could not be mounted

    My time machine / time capsule gets the error:  The backup disk image could not be mounted.

    Reboot the TC.
    If you normally have multiple computers backing up, under Lion there seems to be some issues.. you need to force other users off the system. You can do that through the Airport utility, manual setup, disks, disconnect all users. Note carefully if you use Lion you probably need to download the real airport utility.. 5.6 to accomplish anything useful.

  • Can i partition the time capsule so i can use it as a server as well?

    can i partition the time capsule so i can use it as a server as well?

    In order to partition the Time Capsule, you would have to open up the Time Capsule case, pull the hard drive, install it in a separate enclosure, connect the enclosure directly to your Mac, and then use Disk Utility for the partitioning operation.
    Then, you have to reverse the entire process to install the drive back in the Time Capsule.
    In addition to being a lot of work, something like this will void the warranty on the Time Capsule.
    Niel's suggestion of creaing a disk image on the Time Capsule drive to reserve a given amount of space would be by far the easiest way to accomplish things.

  • Time Machine: restoring mailbox, can't see restore button

    Apologies if this is an incredibly stupid question. I'm trying to restore my inbox in Mail. I navigate to the inbox in the Mail app, click on Time Machine in the dock. It all appears to work and says 'click restore to recover your inbox'. However, I can't for the life of me see the restore button. In fact, apart from the Mail window, I can't see any evidence of TM at all.
    Could someone post a screenshot to show me what it's meant to look like?
    Thanks.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You need to navigate to an actual backup (either via the "cascade" of Mail windows, or the timeline on the right.) Then the Restore button at the lower right of the screen should do what you want.
    See the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • How to wipe out the files on Time Capsule so I can sell it

    The first back up was successful, but I can't get it work ever since. The yellow light is always flashing even I follow the direction to reinstall. It's too hard for me to handle compare regular external hard drive back up. I bought a 1-TB LaCie hard drive to back up my files and have no problem so I would like to know how to securely remove my files on Time Capsule so I can sell it.
    Thanks,
    Sabrina

    Open the Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Disks --> "Erase". Select "7-Pass Erase". That will be sufficient.

  • My mac can't find time capsule, my mac can't find time capsule

    my mac can't find time capsule, my mac can't find time capsule

    I listed the commands.. that is how you manually mount the disk.. follow exactly the commands I gave you.
    In finder use top menu, go, connect to server.
    Type in the following.
    AFP://TCname or AFP://TCIpaddress (obviously you replace with the actual name or the actual IP address).
    If that fails..
    try
    SMB://TCname
    Here is the screenshot.
    tardis4 being the name of my TC.
    It should then ask you for your credentials.
    And it should remember them in the keychain and be able to then get TM to connect.
