Trouble with Time Capsule

I had MAC os X tiger. I just upgraded to MAC os X Leopard. I wanted to use Time Machine and the time capsule. I was using a Linksys wireless router.
I could not get the time capsule to link to the existing network so I ran the router straight to Time Capsule and started a different network. I can not keep a solid connection between the MAC and the Time capsule. WHY? how do I fix this?
I also had a sonos system running thru the Linksys router and the Imac and it worked fine...Now I can not get it to work at all? I need help please

Please describe the other networking equipment you have (such as a modem or router, including brand and model) and how you've tried to connect things.
Have you tried to configure the Time Capsule with AirPort Utility?

having trouble with time capsule, won't find backups

Usually a simple reboot will work.. Reboot the TC..
If that is not enough.. Restart the whole network from off.
Mountain Lion and to a lesser extent Lion.. have network issues and lose track of the TC.

Password trouble with time capsule

Hello,
i just decided to replace my base station and external had with a new (refurb) time capsule and have run into a little problem. 1st, go ahead a point and laugh if the answer is in front of my face. Ok, here goes. I set up everything to replace the old drive and the internet/wireless is fine, but wheni try to configure time capsule, I am prompted for the password for the new one. During setup, everything just migrated, but the password isn't working. I checked keychain, did a soft reset, looked at the password in airport utility, and it still is not working. During the setup I was never prompted to enter a password, to my memory, and in the keychain, the password is the same as what I am entering.
Without ithout starting all over, any suggestions?
thanks!

Before you try a complete reset, try a "soft" reset.
Simply press the reset button for 1 second and release. If the TC is working correctly, now you have a few minutes of free access to go in and change the base station password and the wireless if needed.
Click the Base Station tab to change the base station password and the Wireless tab to change the wireless password.
If that does not work, then you have to reset back to factory default settings and set up the device again. I would suggest that you use different device names , different wireless network names and different passwords for the new setup.
You can delete the settings in KeyChain Access if you want to try to erase the old passwords.

Trouble with Time Capsule & Mountain Lion - unexpected error occurr when setting up connection to an existing network

Hi,
My TC was working perfectly fine until 2 weeks ago...
I have 2 MacBook Pro 2009 & 2012, I used the TC has wireles external hard disk for Time Machine.
I installed Mountain Lion on my oldest MacBook Pro (the newest has already Mountain Lion installed) 2 weeks ago. The installation was not straight forward... I tried to perform a clean installation, but I had difficulties with some applications.. anyway after a few days, everything went fine and smooth, I had to reconnect my TC with but it works fine, I could perform a few back-up with Time Machine.
But ... since 5 days ago, my TC is not find any more when I enter Time Machine... I went to Utility Airport and the TC was not connected, just circeld with dashed line and I cannot enter the set up mode.. I tried several things that did not worked and finally performed a reinitialisation of my TC with restauration of factory setting. This helped a bit because I could finally see my TC in utility arport in the wifi connected devices. I tried to et up my TC and connect it to an existing network. It went fine when specifying on whch network I want to connect, chossing a name for the TC and its password.
But then... I got an error message: An unexpected error has occured. Retry. I never get the window asking for the password for the network.
I retried but, It did not help, now the airport is no more visible in the wifi connected devices in airport utility...
Any thoughts, ideas?
Thanks,
Yvan

If you have a clean install of Mountain Lion it will remove the 5.6 utility.. but this is still better for setups than the new one. .. certainly for Gen4 TC or earlier.
The setup of the TC manually from v5 utility.
Make sure you use all short names.. for the TC itself and for wireless.. I recommend different name for 5ghz as well.
Use WPA2 Personal security and fix wireless channels.. check 11, 6, 1 in that order.
For 5ghz try around 40 and around 150.. doesn't matter which one.
Use ethernet if wireless fails..
You will hate me but older Mac with ML upgrade that went badly.. sorry get some help to clean install. the wireless in the Mac itself is then the issue.

Having trouble getting time capsule to backup my files automatically.

I have been having trouble with time capsule ever since I upgraded to the Mountain Lion OX. I get the error message..."backup disk can not be found". The only was I can get it to work (temporarily) is to unlug the time capsule and plug it back in. Then the next day, same issue appears. I have checked and my airport firmware is up to date and I check/update everything else on a regular basis.
Any help on how to solve this problem permanently?

Trouble with Time Machine/Time Capsule try Backup instead

Trouble with Time Machine preparing to download taking hogging your system followed by errors that don't make any sense even if you look at the console logs to try to figure out. Try Backup instead.
Find the software here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/backup312.html
It allows you to configure when to do back ups and specific data you want, and includes templates for configurations to make it easy. The only catch is you loose the Time Machine benefits of restoring an individual file easily. For me it gets around the issues w/ Time Machine hogging my system resources (Finder at 98% CPU cycles both cores) while "preparing backup", followed by strange failures that can't figure out, followed by more "preparing backup".

I was running backup instead of time machine until I saw snow leopard had time machine improvements. I'm very happy with the performance so far w/ snow leopard (OS X 10.6) time machine performance.

Huge internet latency with Time Capsule

I'm having a strange problem with my new Time Capsule. I'm getting 1000ms+ lag and some packet loss. It makes browsing even simple web pages incredibly frustrating with links taking 10-30 seconds to load!
I have a macbook connected via wireless (802.11n) and a vista pc connected via ethernet (gigabit) and they both have the same problem. I connected my cable modem directly to the macbook and the internet is totally perfect, so it's not their fault. Pings and transfers between the two pcs is perfectly fine too.
Here's an example ping log to one of my ISPs dns servers:

Anyone ever experianced anything like this? I really like the TC but I'm going to have to return it if this keeps up

i have too some troubles : my internet connection failed with time capsule (radio stream or goggle access) to 0kbs, perhaps (i don't exactly know) when timecapsule is starting or finishing some backup ; i have no problem when using direct internet connection (without time capsule) ; and i have those troubles since one week or two (i have bought time capsule in mai)...

Want to migrate AirPort router with Time Capsule to AP/Time Capsule ONLY

My office's AirPort with Time Capsule is currently configured as the Internet Gateway. I want to switch it over to act as a WiFi Access Point (and yes keep the Time Capsule) ONLY, as I will be using a Cisco router as the Internet Gateway. I assume what I want to use to do that is "Bridge Mode". Am I correct?
Second part of this, will the users that are using the Time Capsule still be able to connect to the Time Capsule without losing any backup data, as I will be changing the IP address of the AirPort (currently set to 10.0.0.1, will move it to say 10.0.0.10)? Will there need to be anything done on the individual Macs, or will it automatically update the IP address of where the Time Capsule is?
I hope this makes sense.

Yes, just select under the network tab.. off bridge mode.
The TC plugged into the CIsco router via its WAN port.
Although that is convention rather than necessary.. in bridge all ports are LAN.. the router function is removed.

Makes good sense.. the name of the TC is the basis by which the computer finds it.. not its IP address unless you have actually used IP manually in finder.
You may find it difficult at first.. all the computers will need a reboot so they get IP address from the Cisco router and not from TC.. once that goes forward.. everything should be fine..
If you run into trouble, it is not hard.. See A4 here.

Reset TM and simply go through the process to locate the backup target. TM will then locate the old backup.

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network? I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station. I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable. If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it. Time Machine can access it either way.

Can I use Extreme with Time Capsule to extend my gateway router and still use Capsule as "external HD"?

Bought Airport Extreme with Time Capsule version 7.7.2 with 2 Terabytes Feb 2014. It was probably an expensive mistake, but after searching for weeks for a external hard drive, it seemed reasonably priced to just use the capsule as my external hard drive for the price I paid. Spend an hour with Apple Care to get it working-had to use ethernet cord to my iMac OS 10.8.5 processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5. I did not "need" the airport as we have a Winstream SAGEMCOM modem/router (Sagemfast 1704) But, I was desperate and about to lose my old external hard drive with literally had 3 computers worth of information on it. It had already "died" once, but got it back, so once I got the airport/capsule and was told I just paid for an expensive HD, I had no time to take it back to get something else-I had to transfer my info right then. We (Apple Care) could not get it to work as a HD wirelessly. It may be because it was being set up for the first time; I don't know. I was hoping I would get a transcript of all done so I could do it myself if needed later on, but when I looked at my email-they didn't do that. (Don't know if that is normal, I was used to other "techs" sending the email.) So now I really want to try to move my airport and "extend" our wifi as it said on the "box" that you could do...
Our Windstream router had to be placed in the lower level at the bottom of our stairs. The stairway is "open" (no door going down the steps). I want to place the Extreme at the top of the stairs so that we can use some things in our offices or not have Netflix on our TV lose connectivity when we all are on our computers.
I know I need an ethernet cord to connect directly with the modem/router to the Airport Extreme. I don't know what I will need to do after I connect it as it was so goofy when we set it up the first time (With the app it would disappear and not show up..) But my biggest concern is will I be able to still use the capsule as my hard drive and will I be able to do it wirelessly? (Even with it connected by ethernet, every day I have to re-connect to it before I can click on anything on the hard drive. It never shows up on it's own as my old HD did. That drives me nuts.) I do back up using the Time Capsule feature as well. I appreciate any help.

I am still willing to plug in the ethernet cord to the modem/router and try it IF I was able to get a step by step instructions..
Connecting the Time Capsule (TC) to the existing Winstream by Ethernet would be the basis for a roaming type network. This type of network allows you to basically "roam" with a wireless client and connect to either router. This, in essence, would provide you with an "extended" wireless network. The Apple routers can work with just about any manufacturers' routers in this fashion.
The keys to having a successful roaming network are as follows:
The routers must be interconnected by Ethernet.
Both routers will broadcast their own Wi-Fi network, but MUST use the same Network Name (or SSID), wireless security type (WPA or WPA2), and wireless password.
The TC MUST be reconfigured as a bridge.
Connect a single Ethernet cable between one of the Winstream's LAN ports and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the TC.
The basic steps are:
Power-down the Winstream.
Perform a "factory default" reset on the TC. Leave the TC powered-down after the reset has completed.
Connect the TC to the Winstream using an Ethernet cable.
Power-up the Winstream. Wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it to initialize.
Power-up the TC. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow it to initialize. (Note: Since we just reset the TC it will be performing as a wireless router that will be broadcasting an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN)
Connect your computer to the Winstream's Wi-Fi network.
Run the AirPort Utility. select the TC, and then, select Edit.
Go to the Network tab.
Change the Router Mode option to: Off (Bridge Mode)
Select the Wireless tab.
Verify that the Network Mode option is set to: Create a wireless network
For Wireless Network Name, enter the Wi-Fi network name used by the Winstream.
For Wireless Security, select the equivalent security type that is used by the Winstream. (Note: Use "WPA/WPA2 Personal" if the Winstream is using WPA/TKIP. Use "WPA2 Personal" is the Winstream is using WPA2/AES.
For Wireless Password, enter the same password used by the Winstream.
Select Update and allow the TC to restart.
As far as your external HD, yes you should still be able to use it as before.

Can we share our photos in the family on different mac´s with Time Capsule?

Can we share our photos in the family on different mac´s with Time Capsule?

It depends on the size and number of photos you are sharing around.
Nothing wrong with putting a copy of the photos on the TC if that works for you. Each person can access the photo just fine like that.
I am not saying don't.. just beware of the risks so do it prudently..
But if the library is too large, you will steal space on the TC that should be used for backups.. if all the computers in the network are backing up to it, don't use too much of the spare space.
Better to buy a firewire drive (or USB but firewire 800 are much faster) and connect it to a computer that is regularly turned on. Share that drive to the network. It will then also be backed up correctly to the TC although again be careful of the amount of files, and still keep a straight copy backup somewhere else.
I am recent convert so workflow on the Mac is not my forte.. so perhaps some of the wiser heads can also drop in and post a reply.

Backing up Mac HD with Time Capsule AND an external hard drive

I am sure that this question has been asked one way or another but I can't seem to find the exact answer.
I would like to back up my Mac HD with the Time Capsule AND another hard drive essentially to create two backups. Should one fail, I still have another copy as a precaution. The Time Capsule will be my primary back up because my external hard drive is usually switched off and will only be turned on from time to time to perform "less frequent" backups.
With Time Capsule AND the external hard drive on, will Time Machine just update the backup on the external hard drive without becoming confused with the other copy on Time Capsule? In other words, can Time Machine distinguish between two different Time Machine Backup files and bring them up to date accordingly?
I understand there is an archive function on the Time Capsule, which would also serve the purpose. However, I am wondering if there is another way.
Thanks.

I don't think it's possible to configure Time Machine to back up to two locations without modifying its settings frequently.
You might consider using that external drive to hold a bootable backup. You can create such a thing with either of the utilities SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you pay the registration fee for SuperDuper! (~US$28), there's a mode where it will back up only what has changed, which makes the backup operation run quicker. (Carbon Copy Cloner may offer a similar feature.)

Setting up new HP Laserjet CP1525nw wirelessly with Time Capsule

Im having issues setting up my new HP Laser printer via wirelessly with Time Capsule. I have tried with the Wireless Client Setup
Assistant but cannot get it to work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I tried to get the CP1525nw set up on my computer here at the office and found, much to my chagrin, that the CP1525 is not supported under 10.7 and retroactively not supported under 10.6. The way that I have found to get around the issue is to connect it wirelessly via a static IP address and use a generic postscript driver. I'm hoping that they will release a driver to Apple soon, but until then, generic is the only way to go and I have not found any print quality issues.

Initial Time Machine Backup with Time Capsule

Hello,
I just started to back everything up with Time Capsule and Time Machine. The backup is 45 GB so it's going to take a while. Two questions:
1. There is a Volume created on my Desktop called "Backup of [My Computer Name]". Is this supposed to happen?
2. In the actual drive, there is a Sparse file, not the usual backups.backupdb folder that is created when attaching a drive via USB. Is this supposed to be like that as well?
Thanks!

Thank you for the response. I have a couple more questions.
1. Is there a way to manually go through the files? I used to be able to when it was backing up locally through USB.
2. If I change the folder name of the location of the Time Machine backups, do I have to start my backups all over again?
Thanks!
