Trying to connect wireless printer, asking for password for time capsule?
Trying to connect new wireless printer and it's asking for my password for my time capsule. I don't remember that I had entered one initially, but maybe I did and just forgot. Any way to retrieve a password for time capsule?

I have tried to connect the new mac to an existing time capsule both directly through ethernet and through wifi. Both times I get Internet connection OK but Airport Utility is stuck searching for the base station. I have two existing macs which are connected fine and have both been backing up quite happily. The first two macs are the same user (me) and the new one is for a different user in the house. All the macs are running Mavericks.
I have tried rebooting the time capsule and the new mac - didn't help.
Any information as to what I can try would be most welcome.
Many thanksHi All
I have solved my problem! It was the old chestnut the firewall issue. We have McAfee firewalls on our machines and the wifi network was set up as a public rather than a home network. I changed it to Home or Work and het presto the time capsule appeared. I didn't have this problem with the other machines at all.
I hope this helps someone!! -
Setting up wireless printer through Apple Airport and Time Capsule
Hi, using Apple MacBook Air OS X and trying to set up a Brother 5370DW wireless printer. I have used the install CD of printer, and added it to the Apple, but when I try to use it wirelessly it wants to know the Network Security Settings Information. I have the print-out from the printer setup that printed out the Network Configuration, but it isn't helping me with what the setup CD wants. I need to know how to find:
SSID/ESSUD (Network Name)
Authentication Method
Encryption Mode
Encryption Key
The printout from printer setup shows some of this information, but not sure if it's what they want to register the printer's wireless signal. The "Easy Setup" wizard doesn't seem to work and the types of utilities they mention for having these settings automatically set don't seem to be on this system.
I just want to set up the printer to work wirelessly, it works with the ethernet cable attached.
The Cox cable signal comes into a Motorola modem, then goes to a Mac Time Capsule, which is connected by ethernet cable to a Mac Time Capsule. However, there is a Ooma telephone unit that is also hooked into the Time Capsule if that makes any difference.
Help sites with Cox tell me to contact router mfg, Apple says maintenance period and additional periods have expired. If want further help need $50 for 30-days. Any guidance or referral would be appreciated.SSID/ESSUD (Network Name)
Authentication Method
Encryption Mode
Encryption Key
SSID/ESSUD = the Network Name of the Time Capsule's wireless network
Authentication Method = the Wireless Security mode (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) of the Time Capsule's wireless network
Encryption Mode = If Wireless Security is set to "WPA/WPA2 Personal" on the TC, then this mode = TKIP; if Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal," then this mode = AES
Encryption Key = wireless security password of the TC's wireless network -

MacBook trying to connect wireless printer via A Express
Am trying to connect my macbook with an existing linksys network to a wireless printer via an Apple Express.
The computer seems to reconize the Apple Express but, in following the instructions to use the Printer Setup Utility to get the computer to recognize the connection, when I designate my printer I get and error message......." An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer Error -9672"
Does anyone know a cure or, at least, where to research "error 9672" ??Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Trying to Connect Wireless Printer
Seems like a silly question to me...but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
I just bought a Lexmark X6570 Wireless Printer, in hopes that it would wirelessly connect to my Airport Extreme. However, the only printer configurations I see for the Airport Extreme are to actually plug the computer into the Airport Extreme.
Is there any way to add my new printer to the network without physically connecting it to the Extreme?Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Compatible Printer Drivers for Time Capsule?
Okay, so far I've had many problems with my time capsule
But as for now I just want to be able to print wirelessly using my Officejet 5610 All in One Printer!
The only problem is that it can't seem to find a driver to work with...
So I was wondering if I could use some other driver and have my printer emulate it to get it to print over wifi?
Someone please answer...
I've had tons of other questions that are still unsolved...Be patient.
If you read some other posts, lots of people have been having problems printing wirelessly on Leopard and Airport Express/Extreme and Time Capsule. It's not a matter of printer drivers, but probably of Leopard itself. Considering how many posts there have been on the issue, I would not be surprised if Apple released a fix soon.
On the other hand, even when the issue gets fixed, your all-in-one will most likely work wirelessly only as a printer, since it doesn't seem that wireless scanning is supported.
Edit: Also, if you have issues limit yourself to one post per issue. The reason why I answered to your post is because I'm having printing problems as well, and I am (apparently) a very kind person. Some other users probably got annoyed by your repeated posts. Just so you know. -
Wireless internet connection is down from macbooks only. When try to connect wirelessly, macbook ask for PPPoE use name and password which I type and nothing happens ... macbook keeps asking for both but cannot connect/
I am unable to connect wireless with macbooks only but it's ok with an ethernet cable from macbook to timecapsule. Macbooks also access time capsule for backups wireless without a problem.
Also it's ok to connect to the internet wirelessly with windows based notebooks.
Hardware: 2T Timecapsule, Macbook 15, MacbookAir 11, 2 Sony Vaios. Both macbooks are running OSx 10.6.8 - All lastest firmware is installed.
I have turn off and on timpecapsule and modem. And downloaded lastes firmaware. Network has been working ok for at leat 30 days since I boiugth time capsule
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
AndyWelcome to the discussion area!
Just a hunch. The Sony and iBook may not be able to handle WPA2 Personal Security, which is the default Security setting of the Time Capsule.
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Change the setting for Wireless Security to WPA/WPA2 Personal
Update to save settings
Any luck? -
When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!
When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?
It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.

When trying to install a wireless printer, the WEP password says its incorrect. Is this a problem with the airport, my Internet provider or HP? I know the password is correct.
Your AirPort Extreme supports WPA.
WEP is outdated and considered fairly useless, so use WPA.
Be sure you are using AirPort Utility 5.6. If you are not running Lion then use AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot administer 802.11b/g base stations. -
In trying to use Filelink, it asks for a software security device password - what is this? None of the passwords I can think it might be referring to work!
What is the exact error message?

Hi there can anyone help me out. I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free, anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -
I just got a new Mac yesterday and I am trying to connect my Logitech headset for work but can't! I plug it into the USB but nothing pops up and I can't find where I go to look to see if it's connected. HELP!
Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first. Then use mine if that fails.

You say you have the pse 5 disk?
I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.
