Trying to connect an XP laptop to a Time Capsule

and having no luck.
This is an HP Pavillion dv8000 running Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 3
with an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG WiFi thingy.
I have tried every driver update I could find. FOund a set of drivers and software at Intel that detected the band, mode, and everything from my Time Capsule, but the dang thing will not connect.
The router log from the TTime Capsule has an endless loop of these lines:
Feb 09 22:15:03
Severity:5
Associated with station 00:13:02:60:dc:16
Feb 09 22:15:07
Severity:5
Deauthenticating with station 00:13:02:60:dc:16 (reserved 2).
Feb 09 22:15:07
Severity:5
Disassociated with station 00:13:02:60:dc:16
Any clues out there for this clueless one ?

OK. This is extremely bizarre, but I finally got what I needed.
I am working with two WynDoze machines:
HP Pavillion dv8000 running Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 3
and
HP Mini 210-1091 NR NetBook running Windows 7 (Starter, I think)
I had to configure the XP box for WPA2-PSA/AES to get a connection
and
the Windows 7 box had to be set to WPA-Personal/TKIP to connect to the exact same network !

yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have any drivers
its driving me round the bend at the minute

My ipod touch won't turn on...have tried charging, connecting to the laptop, restarting - nothing is working!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??

Can I connect an external hard disk to time capsule? I tried but it doesn't show up. What would be the reason??

The USB drive must be formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or if you want to use both Mac and Windows files, the drive can be formatted in FAT32.
A number of drives are formatted for Windows only in a format called NTFS. This willl not work on the Time Capsule.
In addition, the USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered. You almost always have to use a powered USB hub when you connect a drive to the Time Capsule...even if the drive has its own power supply.

"No Internet Connection" via AirPort Extreme bridged to Time Capsule

Hello,
We have a fairly large and odd home network consisting of a Comcast cable modem connected to a Netgear router, a Time Capsule wired to that one floor down (serving up WiFi and DHCP), and a new AirPort Extreme wired one floor below that, extending the WiFi network of the Time Capsule and set to bridge mode.
On one MacBook Pro (and possibly others, haven't had them available to test yet), trying to connect to WiFi while downstairs (i.e. to the AirPort Extreme) yields a strong wireless connection, but "no Internet connection"; checking via network diagnostics or the Network panel reveals that the MacBook Pro has no IP address. This seems odd, as it happens even if the connection is first made on the 2nd floor to the Time Capsule, where a valid IP is retrieved, and then carried downstairs; even though the same IP address should be valid, the laptop's WiFi menubar icon starts cycling again and eventually shows the "!" and reports no Internet connection. Checking the Network panel reveals no IP address via DHCP. However, if I let it sit for a minute or two, the IP address comes back (the same one!) and all is well, at least for a while.
I've tried switching to a manually-assigned static IP as a workaround, and that works perfectly well, but I'd like to get DHCP working properly if I can, for convenience's sake. Is there any reason why I should be having trouble with getting DHCP from the Time Capsule via the AirPort Extreme?

Actually, yeah, my predecessor explained that he was running DHCP on the Time Capsule instead of the Netgear because he hadn't needed DHCP prior to the adding of a WiFi point (all other nodes were on Ethernet), so it had always been turned off on the Netgear. But your suggestion makes a lot more sense, of course, so I've put the Time Capsule into bridge mode as well and started the DHCP server on the Netgear. Seems to be working with my iPhone, though that was always working okay. I won't have access to the laptop to test it until later this afternoon, but I have high hopes.
Thank you!

Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule for off site back up?

I like having a copy of everything at another site in case of a house fire. Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule? I would store that hard drive at work and bring it home monthly or something to back up Time Capsule. Thanks!

Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule?
That is exactly what the Archive function on the Time Capsule is for. Connect a USB drive and click Archive, and a mirror image of your Time Capsule will be copied over to the USB drive. It's a slow process that will take 4-8 hours depending on how much data is on the Time Capsule, so best to start things late at night and let them run overnight.
Another option would be to use a commercial application like Carbon Copy Cloner to keep your backup. The advantage to this approach is that once the first "master" backup is done, the application will only back up the changes on the Time Capsule that have occurred since the last backup. So, subsequent backups will be much faster, probably only taking about 10-15 minutes.

"There was a problem connecting to the server "Bill's Time Capsule".

Many times a day I receive a small message saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "Bill's Time Capsule". I've also had problems with my computer not recognizing that two of my wireless HP printers are turned on. These problems have occurred since I downloaded OS X Yosemite (10.10.2).
Are these problems connected? How do I solve them?

Yosemite is poor.. it has poor networking and poor TM.. and is buggy all round. Although I am surprised if the issues started at 10.10.2.. I would have thought just continued unabated.
Anyhow reset the AE to factory and redo the setup.
Please use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Passwords the same 8-20 mixed case and numbers.. whereas names can be even shorter.
Ensure IPv6 in the computer is set to link local only for whatever network you use.. be it wireless or ethernet.. eg wireless.
And if the TC is bridged.. then try and keep its IP from drifting.. this can be a bit difficult. Need to set dhcp reservations on the main router. If the TC is main router this is not going to be a problem.

Can I backup my laptop on the time capsule that is currently backing up my iMac data?

Can I backup my Apple laptop on my time capsule which is currently backing up my iMac?

Yes, assuming that there is ample room on the Time Capsule disk for all of the files on your laptop.

TS4104 I am receiving the following error message: There was a problem connecting to the server "Diane's Time Capsule" - check the server name or IP address, then try again.

I am receiving the following error message: There was a problem connecting to the server "Diane's Time Capsule" - check the server name or IP address, then try again.

This might just be a typical Mountain Lion network glitch..
Reboot the TC.. that is usually enough to fix it.
Otherwise restart the whole network from off.. Reboot items in correct order.
Modem.. TC.. computer. 2min gap.
Tell us if that doesn't fix it.

There is a lot of talk aout there about using a 27" iMac as a display with the mini displayport to displayport cable. It is so exciting! I am trying to connect a PC laptop with a VGA port to a 27" Dell Latitude D620?

In 2010 there was a question about using a 27" iMac as a display with a Dell laptop.
I am trying to connect a work Dell laptop Running Windows XP via a VGA cable to my personal iMac 27"
running iMac 27", Mac OS X (10.6)
Has anyone tried this or know if imac 27" Mini port with a VGA adapter can work?
I apologize if I missed this discussion already
Kind Regards
Gilly

Hi Gilly,
I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

Outlook 2010 sticks on "Trying to Connect" when undock Laptops and VPN Connects Automatically

When our users undock their laptops the VPN kicks in automatically. All of the other network services just continue seamlessly. Outlook, however, sticks at "trying to connect". This is often accompanied by a password prompt.
This is easily solved by closing Outlook and reopening it (no need to enter password).
It doesn't seem unreasonable that outlook should require a restart after being disconnected like this. Just want to establish whether there is a way to have Outlook just re-connect without the need to close it and reopen it. Or is the need to
restart it unavoidable?
Thanks.

This is really a question for the Outlook forum, but from what I have seen over the years, thats just the way it is with OUtlook and MAPI or Outlook Anywhere. When you change the network, Outlook struggles..
Having said that, MAPI over HTTP with Exchange 2013 SP1 is working to eliminate those issues:

Airport wireless trying to connect to my laptop

just purchased my first imac desktop also purchased the airport wireless everything works fine on the desktop what do i need to do to get my laptop to work on wireless ive tried to connect and use the password i've put in on the setttings still won't let me connect

kasba,
Welcome to Discussions!
Some users have an issue with the type of security method. Perhaps your laptop has some way of allowing you to also choose the security method prior to inputting the password. If you used WPA2 in setting up your iMac and AirPort base station, it may be that your laptop is not upgraded to include WPA2. WPA2 is currently the best to use, although not every computer or wireless router can handle it.
Another alternative is that you may have chosen to have a closed or restricted network. Undo (uncheck) that temporarily until you've established your laptop connection to the network. After that you might be able to successfully re-close your network.

I'm trying to recover the network password for my Time Capsule so that I can connect another device (a PC) to it. I have my Macbook pro set to connect automatically and the password is hidden. How can I find out what it is.

My issue is that I'm trying to connect a PC to my wireless network run off of a Time capsule/airport router. My macbook pro connects fine but the network password is hidden and set to autoconnect. I thought I wrote the password down but when I try to connect the PC laptop and type in the timecapsule network PW is doesn't work. Trying to verify if the passwird I wrote down is correct but there doesn't seem to be a way to recover this.
Does anyone out there in the community know how to do this? (or do I just have to do a reset on the time capsule

Reset the TC.

Laptop internet connection no longer works after adding Time Capsule to network

The other day I was setting up my Time Capsule for the first time at my new apartment (after having it in a box for months). I've got internet access through my apartment, so I haven't needed to use it as a router like I did the last time I used it. Also, the router is in another tenant's room. So I opened Airport Utility and adjusted the settings to add the Time Capsule to the network. After doing this, my laptop has lost its Internet connection. I can still connect to the network and my iPad has had no issues connecting to the same network and using the Internet, but the Internet won't work on my MacBook Pro (2006 model).
Since then, I've plugged an ethernet cable between my laptop and Time Capsule so I could find it on Airport Utility and change its settings to connect to the laptop via Ethernet. Also, I called my landlord and got the router reset.
I know the Time Capsule/Airport Utility is involved because the Internet connection died as soon as I tried adding my Time Capsule to the network.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. It worked fine (connecting my iOS devices to my macbook pro using internet sharing) until Lion. Then it all went to ****.

My Windows Laptop does not connect to my apple 4th generation time capsule can not connect to internet.

I have a HP laptop running Windows 7. I a habe a 4th generation time capsule for wireless internet. everytime my laptop restarts it will not pick up and run the internet. i have to run the trouble shooter program to get it to reconnect. Sometimes this works sometime it does not the laptop and time capsule are both up todate on all the softwhere.

Is the TC working in router or bridge mode??
Have you set SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. not apple names.
Have you set wireless with different name for 5ghz.. and set channels manually and tested them.
11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz in that order. Low.. say 36 or 40 and around 150 for 5ghz.
Test with no wireless security.. is it then working.. if so, then set wpa2 personal security with a password of 10-20 characters pure alphanumeric.
On a computer /device that does work find out the following.
DNS and Gateway.
When the PC connects to the wireless does it get the right values for DNS and Gateway.. if not then the TC is either incompatible or wireless driver is not compatible.
The fact that your windows is up to date does not mean the wireless drivers are.. Intel make the worst drivers.. if the laptop has intel wireless card. Expect trouble.
Download direct from Intel the most current driver and the last 3 or 4 available.. not even the latest is a guarantee it will work.
Even if everything is right.. dns gateway.. connection.. security.. wireless channel.. it is wireless.. it can still refuse to move packets.. it is simply the nature of the beastie. Wireless is 80% voodoo still.
Buy a different wireless chipset USB stick.. or get a wireless router like a TP-Link.. very cheap, $30-50 and use it as a WAP plugged into the TC.
