Time Capsule won't mount after upgrade to iTunes 9

See my full post in the Time Capsule support section ("Help! Time Capsule won't mount after installing iTunes 9"). My music library is on my Time Capsule, but after installing iTunes 9, it won't mount on my iMac G5. I can use the internet, but the disk won't mount. My Powerbook hasn't been updated yet and the Time Capsule mounts fine.

To make it easier, here's the post:
"My music library is on my 500 Gb Time Capsule. I just installed iTunes 9 on my iMac. It updated my library and synced my iPhone. Now, the TC won't mount. I still have internet connectivity, but I can't access my media or print to my printer connected to the TC. I can use the computer and everything, but if I hover my mouse over the TC disks menu bar icon, I get the spinning beach ball there. If I try to connect using my Network icon in the sidebar, it allows me to log in and get to the screen to select the volume I want to mount, then stops responding. In the Activity Monitor, AFP Client & AirPort Base Station Agent are not responding. I also have a Powerbook G4 w/Leopard (10.5.8) which hasn't been updated to iTunes 9 yet. The Time Capsule mounted fine on it."

Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

Time Capsule corrupts hard drive after upgrading to 7.5.2 firmware

I upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule (originally 500GB, upgraded to 2TB) from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2. Immediately after the upgrade, the AirPort utility reported, that the Time Capsule disk needed to be repaired, and the TC blinked the orange light.
As there's no way to repair the disk while inside the TC (or even create 2 partitions), I hooked the disk up to my iMac using a SATA-USB adapter. The Disk Utility found errors in the partition used for Time Machine backups, but was able to fix them. I tried to use the TC again, but it still reported problems with the disk. I ran the Disk Utility again on my iMac, and this time there were errors in the other partition, that is used to share files among our home computers. This time the Disk Utility could not fix the partition, and the TC no longer recognized it after I put the drive back in.
Luckily, I was still able to mount the partition on my iMac via the SATA-USB adapter, and copy the files I didn't have a backup of to safety. I then initialized the partition using the Disk Utility, and put the disk back into the TC. Guess what... yellow light blinking again! Then I did what I should have at the very beginning: downgrade the TC firmware back to 7.4.2. It took quite a while to downgrade, but after it finally rebooted... green light, and no problems reported! Haven't checked with the Disk Utility, but at least everything seems to work like before.
Has anyone experienced similar behaviour? I'm certainly not going back to 7.5.2 again... Could it be, that the 7.5.2 somehow doesn't like more than one partition on the TC disk? Sounds crazy, but that's all I can come up with at this time.

Updating to iTunes 7.7 and OSX 10.5.4 has fixed the problem. Why I don't know.

No acces to Time Capsule as a disk after upgrading to 10.5 Leopard...

Hi guys - I have serious issue on my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. My Time Capsule is used as WiFi base station and it works perfectly in that role. But I can not access it as a disk! I was doing it without previously but not after upgrading to Leopard ... only problems... I can see TC in the list of shared drives but can not access it. I also can not access airport express which I'm going to use to stream music wirelessly. All that happened after update and change in internet provider. Saying once more - internet works perfectly on all computers, iPod etc. But no access to disk and other airport express... please help. I screwed up probably something on settings...

Is it possible to transfer the iTunes library from my Lap Top to my Desk Top? If so how is the best way to do it?
assuming all your media files are in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) to your desktop.
you can use target disk mode, an external HD, or your local network to copy it over.
since an iTunes folder is already present on the desktop, OS X will ask you if you want to replace it with the one you're moving. don't worry and click ok.

Mountain lion and time capsule. Extremely slow after upgrade...

After upgrading to the new system, I was trying to copy my iphoto library to my timecapsule, but at this rate, it will be completed within 20 hours... And I´m only transferring 11 gb... I also checked my connection speed to the timecapsule and it´s at 450mb... So, why is it going to take 20 hours??? This is an issue that needs to be adressed... I have the brand new Timecapsule. It´s also not doing a backup while I´m transferring...
Hoping this will be resolved immedately...

I noticed that Time Machine erased all of my previous backups and started fresh. I woudl be willing to bet that the sluggishness you expereinced was because Time Machine was making a full backup. It proably became more quick once it finished this since it could perform incremental backups thereafter.

IDisk won't mount after upgrade to 10.5.3

I can't access my iDisk after upgrading to 10.5.3. I can sync calendar, address book, etc., but cannot access the iDisk.
The error I get tells me that my *"Member name or password maybe invalid"* and also "*An unexpected error occurred (error code -8056)"*
My member name and password are valid because I can sync and access iDisk via the web. I just can't get the iDisk to mount in the Finder after upgrading to 10.5.3.
Any clues??

I think I have identified the problem, and have a work-around:
With 10.5.3 the System Preferences have changed for the .Mac settings. In order to get the iDisk to mount, you need to disable the automatic login for .Mac in System Preferences. Once you have "Singed Out" of .Mac in the System Preferences you will then be able to go the menu bar under "Go" and mount the iDisk. The iDisk will not mount in the Finder icon called "iDisk" but will mount as an icon with your .Mac username.
Here's how to do it:
Open System Preferences
Click .Mac
Click "Account" tab
Click "Sign Out" button and acknowledge
Go to Apple Menu Bar: Go>iDisk>My iDisk and sign-in as usual
+Finder will launch but iDisk will mount under your .Mac username NOT under iDisk icon+

3G Clickwheel Ipod won't mount after update to ITunes 7.0

I recently updated to iTunes 7 and ever since my iPod won't mount. I can't see it on my desktop, and iTunes says the iPod is corrupt. I checked to make sure the Firewire port is working, and as far as I can tell, it is. I have tried to connect the iPod using both USB and Firewire, with the same result. I have also tried another Firewire cord, and that didn't work either.
I don't think the iPod is corrupt, because it was exactly after I updated to 7.0.1 that it stopped mounting. I thought 7.0.2 would resolve this issue, but it has not. The iPod works as it should when not connected to my computer.
I do NOT want to reload the iPod to factory settings, because over 1900 songs would be lost (my hard drive crashed last year, and this is the only place I have of many of these songs). This seems to be a known problem with the new version, but I don't know how to resolve it. Any suggestions?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have the identical problem with my Ipod & Imac. I haven't updated my Ipod for awhile, and although it works just fine independently, once I plug it into either my Imac or Ibook, the computer will not recognize it so I can't add new songs.The ipod doesn't show up in ITunes, in System Profiler, Disk Utility. I'm using Itunes 7.02 and judging from some other newsgroups I have read, there are many Ipod owners with this problem. I hope Apple gets it fixed soon.

Games and purchases won't sync after upgrade to itunes 8.1.1.10

Hi,
I've just upgraded to itunes 8.1.1.10 (because itunes asked it when I started it up), but since then it has been behaving rather strangely.
First, itunes claims my computer is no longer autorised. However, when I try to re-autorise him, I just recieve a message saying it is already.
When I synced my ipod, all my purchased songs and games disappeared from it (I guess because itunes somehow still thinks the pc isn't autorised).
I tried to re-sync the games, but now he's started to optimalise my 8000 photos, but the games refuse to sync.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? tia

When you look at the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computer, the iPad is selected and iTunes is running, what does the storage for "other" read? How much of "other" data is there?
Have you tried ejecting the iPad, quitting iTunes, reboot the computer and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then try again?
You could also try updating iTunes. It looks like you are running an older version.

ITunes store won't load after upgrading to iTunes 9

Ever since I upgraded my iTunes to the new iTunes 9, I can't get iTunes store to load. I've gone through the troubleshooting, and even ran a repair iTunes and then uninstalled and re-installed the iTunes. Nothing has worked. It only loads part way with just blue boxes with ? marks in them and names of songs/artists. Plain white background and none of the links that do show go anywhere. I get this message when I try to click on a link: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (306). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.

My daughter has iTunes 8.2.0.23 on her laptop and she could sign in with her own id and my id - so obviously there is a problem with version 9
I've uninstalled iTunes 9 and Apple Mobile Device Support thru Add/Remove programs
Installed iTunes 8.2.1.6
Removed library file made in version 9
Opened iTunes 8.2.1.6 and successfully signed into iTunes Store
Still cannot get onto iTunes via a Touch or 2 iPhones!!!
Added all my music back onto iTunes and it is working PERFECTLY
WON'T be upgrading to version 9
Hope this helps

External hard drives won't mount after upgrading to Tiger 10.4.9. Help!

Hi, I've just got the latest iMac. Very excited! I did all the software updates, connected my Western Digital extended hard drive so that I could copy some files over onto my new Mac. It was fine at first. Then when I wanted to open up the external hard drive icon on my desktop again and double clicked on it, everything disappeared from the screen for a few seconds, then reappeared but my external hard drive simply opened the window to my personal hard drive on the Mac. The WD links to my computer via Firewire. I then connected my USB external hard drive stick and it was the same story.
I used Disk Utility to test everything and everything was fine.
I then reinstalled Mac OSX 10.4.8 and plugged in my external hard drives. Everything worked perfectly. After copying over documents and a couple of programs, and downloading a few more programs, I ran my software updates again, upgrading the operating system to Tiger 10.4.9. I attached my external hard drive and it was the same problem all over again.
I the read up the online discussions and also chatted to an Apple dealer, and their advice was to download the Intel Combo and reinstall the operating system. I have just done this and my external hard drives will still not mount properly. Their icons appear on screen but double click them and everything disappears.
Please help. This is really frustrating as I have a backlog of work to do and I seem to be wasting hours on this. Not only that, this is a brand new machine which I rightly expect to work straight away.
I look forward to your response. Thank you in advance.

Hi, try to put your HDD in other Mac and look if appear the same, also you can try to repair permission.

USB devices won't mount after upgrade to 10.6

Hello,
I recently upgraded to 10.6 and ever since my USB devices (flash drives, and external hard drives) will not mount when the computer is safe mode. The device show up in disk utility but are unmounted. When I press mount it says that the disc needs first aid, I perform the first aid and nothing changes. My computer is always in safe mode, the devices will mount in a normal boot but my computer is not stable in a normal boot. Also, it seems that iPods and cameras work fine.
Thanks for any help!

Well, the problem is that - as outlined in one of the articles I linked to - some USB devices will not work in Safe Mode; that may have to do with the fact the Safe Mode is only meant to be a troubleshooting tool, not a regular way of booting up. Did you have the USB devices attached while upgrading to 10.6? That would also be a problem - I unplug everything except keyboard and mouse.And, did you repair permissions after the upgrade? If not, do it now.
And, the other problem is the fact that you wait 1 - 2 years before addressing the issue; when you had it in for the last repair and it still exhibited the same problems afterwards, you should would have taken it back, possibly with some screenshots, exact notes of how/when/error messages, etc. and insisted on having it fixed or replaced.
So, I'd run the Apple Hardware Test (after you make sure that you have a complete backup) - instructions here:

Report back with whatever messages you wind up with.

HT201250 Time capsule no longer works after upgrading to Mavericks

I have upgraded to mavericks and my time capusle no longer back up. Will Apple be sending out a fix. Forums show lots of apple apologists trying various work arounds and some losing data. When will Apple be sending out a fix.
First Mail was crashing and with the new fix finally Mail is working ... when can we expect the fix for TC and mavericks.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now
CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
so that all messages are showning, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — anonymize before posting.

Canon HF20 won't mount after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my Canon HF20 will no longer connect via USB. This is a basically a USB hard drive as far as the OS is concerned, and I've typically mounted the camera and copied my AVCHD files to an external drive for editing. No special drivers or software was required for this on Leopard. Has anyone else seen this, had it work, etc...?
Thanks!

Hello,
Is your camera still working, and did you do anything special to get it to work? My HF200 doesn't connect properly since I upgraded.

Encrypted .dmg won't mount after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard and having trouble mounting an encrypted disk image that I use for my confidential files. I have tried mounting using both DiskImageMounter.app and the Disk Utility but both give error 60008, unable to attach.
Anyone else having similar problems or have suggestions for alternative ways of mounting?
Best,
Jon.

My encrypted disk image with confidential files was created under Leopard using Disk Utility. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and when I try to mount the image, the password box comes up (as before the upgrade). But, I enter my password, and the disk image does not mount, it just keeps asking for the password again. I also have the latest MacBook Air and I also have an encrypted disk image there too with the same problem when I try to mount it. In addition, I have a LaCie 1TB External Harddrive that contains an encrypted disk image. When I try to mount this disk image, which normally appears on the desk top, I get the same repeating password box. Entering the password does nothing--other than causing the password box to reappear. All three encrypted disk images worked fine without any issues before the upgrade. So, based on the number of views that this post has had, this appears to be an issue that needs a resolution. Any suggestions or others with similar problems?

Songs won't authorize after upgrade to itunes 9

So, I recently upgraded my os, and then got an iphone and upgraded itunes to 9. I go to play the the album I purchased on before the upgrade, and the computer gives me a message that the computer is not authorized to play it. I haven't put it on more than 5 computers, as this is the only computer or device I had it on. I didn't have an ipod for music playing prior to this, so I didn't download a lot. Now I do.
Anyway, so I went to authorize the computer, and it tells me it already is. Even deauth'd then reauth'd, still won't work.
Any insight? Thanks.

having the same problem.
Strange this is that all music was purchased by the same account name.
Some purchased songs play, two don't.
When I try resetting the password via the web it says that this apple id is unknown!
And that while I have the itunes confirmationemail when I created the account!!
I am disgusted that apple doesn't seem to react to this problem.
They try to dust it under the carpet.
