TS2587 AirPort Extreme full unable to restart

My time capsule has only 400kB of 500Gb left and I can't get it to restart. Is the problem it is so close to capacity. If yes how can I delete files while starting up or is it just failing and not a capacity problem?

If you are saying that the power light indicator on the Time Capsule is out and the device will not power up, this would have no relation to the amount of data that might be on the drive.
Can you clarify what you mean by "restart"?

  • Have to reboot my airport extreme every time i restart my PC.

    Hello,
    Why is it that i have to reboot my Airport Extreme every time i restart my PC? I am able to connect to the network but not the internet, unless/until i restart my base station.
    My phones and tablets are connected to the internet, so i know the my ISP is not the issue.

    It is impossible to work this out without lots of details.
    Like what PC OS do you run?
    What connection, wireless or ethernet?
    What you use test with the other if possible. Does it work for example swapping from wireless to ethernet??
    I presume wireless as it is the most trouble prone.. When you start the PC does the wireless connect? Do you get IP by DHCP .. if so does it match what you get after a reboot.. look particularly at dns and gateway addresses.
    Is the PC showing location as home or work/public.. it must be home to work properly.. also firewall might matter.
    Also what type of wireless card is used.. poor windows drivers abound.. particularly Intel cards in laptops.
    Is the wireless name SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric?
    Is the wireless password mix of only case and numbers.. nothing non-alphanumeric?

  • Have Pixus and 3rd gen Airport extreme. Unable to replace with 5th gen airport extreme

    I have Pixus and a 3rd generation Airport extreme . Unable to replace with 5th generation airport extreme. Problem?

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. I assume that Pixus has provided you with a modem that provided an Ethernet connection to your 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then anytime you change networking hardware, it is a good idea to completely recycle power on all of the networking components.
    Please try the following:
    Power-down the Pixus modem, AEBSn, and computer(s); leave them powered off for at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it sufficient time to initialize.
    Power-up the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: It may continue to flash amber. This is ok, as it may just require some additional configuration settings, like wireless security to attend to.)
    Power-up the computer(s).
    Network clients connected to the AEBSn, either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the Pixus modem. Please post back your results.

  • Extended AirPort Extreme Network Unable to Connect

    I have two AirPort Extremes.  One was set up in the basement directly to my network and is working fine.  The other AirPort Extreme was set up upstairs, plugged into the same hub as the downstairs Extreme, and I followed the default setup procedure on my MacBook Pro to extend the downstairs wireless network via ethernet.  You can connect to the downstairs Extreme via wireless devices no problem, but when you move upstairs into the range of the Extreme on that level, you are unable to attach to the wireless network.  I can see the network, but when attempting to attach via the MacBook, the wireless indicator works for a while, then displays a "!" with no other message.  On an iPhone, you are not able to connect at all.
    The setup procedure in Mac OS X is very straightforward, and I accepted all defaults in the AirPort Utility to extend the existing AirPort Extreme (downstairs) network.  There are no other wireless networks that may interfere. 
    The router in this home is a Luxul XBR-2300.  The AirPort Extremes are plugged into a switch that the router is also plugged in to.  Both AirPort Extremes have access to the network/internet-- if you plug a device directly to the AirPort Extreme it can get to the internet via the hardwired connection.
    I've been working on this problem for two days, have returned one of the AirPort Extremes thinking it was defective, but I have the same problem.
    I did the same type of setup in another home with two AirPorts and it was 'plug and play'. 

    Tesserax, thank you for the reply.  I have commented next to each suggestion.
    If both AirPort Extreme base stations are interconnected by Ethernet they should be configured for a "roaming" network.  They are interconnected by Ethernet and are configured for a "roaming" network.
    Setup both AirPort Extreme base stations as bridges. Network tab > Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode).  This is how they are both set up.
    For each base station:
    Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network.  They are on the same switch.  They are on the same subnet.
    Provide a unique Base Station Name.  They have unique names.
    The Network Name (SSID) should be identical.  They have the same SSID, exactly.
    If using security, use the same security type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password. Note: It is highly recommended that you use WPA2 Personal for best bandwidth performance.  They are both using WPA2.
    Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next base station to prevent Wi-Fi interference.  Initially the Apple AirPort Utility set both up under "Wireless" settings to "Automatic".  Based upon this suggestion, I set the Basement Extreme manually to the first channel choices for 2.4hz and 5.0hz networks.  I set the Upstairs Extreme manually to channels at least 3 channels away.  NO CHANGE to the problem.
    The following are the basic setup steps:  I have done the following in an attempt to fix the problem, after changing the wireless channels on both units manually:
    Power all the base stations down.  Done.
    Perform a "factory default" reset on each of the base stations. Note: You may have to perform this more than once to make sure they "stick." Done.  Confirmed with rapidly flashing light on both.
    Connect one Ethernet cable between the Ethernet switch to the (circle of dots) port on the basement Extreme. Connect a second Ethernet cable between the switch and the WAN port of the upstairs Extreme.
    Basement Extreme:  Modem-->Router-->Switch-->Basement Extreme WAN Port
    Upstairs Extreme:  Basement Extreme LAN Port-->Upstairs Extreme WAN Port  (Prior to this change they were both plugged in to the switch via the WAN port)
    Power up just the basement Extreme. Done.
    Set Network Mode option to: Create a wireless network. Done.  Set the Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode). Done. Verify that you can get Internet connectivity with network clients either by wireless or by wire connections to the basement Extreme.  Verified-- can connect with no problems.  NOTE:  I set this up using the iPhone AirPort Utility using default settings to create a network.  I then verified these settings on the MacBook Pro in the AirPort Utility.  I manually set channels based upon your recommendation to set them to insure no interference, restarted, and verified that I can connect.
    Power up the upstairs Extreme. Use the AirPort Utility to select it.  Done.  Verify that this unit has not been plugged in after reset until now.  NOTE:  It now shows in the AirPort Utility Network Diagram that the Basement AirPort Extreme is connected to the Internet, and the Upstairs Extreme is plugged into the Basement Extreme.  Before, both were shown connecting to the Internet.
    Configure the upstairs Extreme with the Network Mode option set to: Create a wireless network. (Note: Do NOT set it to "Extend a wireless network."  Verified.  Was set up correctly by default.
    Set the Wireless Network Name, Wireless Security, & Wireless Password options to be exactly the same as that used for the basement Extreme.  Verified.
    Set the Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode).  Verified.  Was set up correctly by default.
    Select Update and allow the upstairs Extreme to restart.  Extra Step:  Manually set the channel to be 3 away from Downstairs Extreme based on initial recommendation, above.  Restarted the Upstairs Extreme.
    Once restarted verify that you can roam with a wireless laptop or iOS device between base stations and still gain Internet access.  Problem not solved.
    I followed everything above exactly.  Neither my MacBook Pro nor my iPhone can connect to the "Apple Network" out of range of the Basement Extreme.  The network line connecting the Extremes is verified and is a good line. 
    Again, thank you for the very detailed response.  I had pretty much tried all of the above other than plugging the Upstairs Extreme WAN directly to the Basement Extreme LAN Port and manually setting channels on both.  Did I screw anything up based upon what you wrote?  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ken

  • AirPort Extreme Causes WinXP to Restart

    I installed a new AirPort Extreme yesterday in compatabiity mode.
    1. Works perfectly with my MacBook.
    2. Works perfectly with my WinXP laptop.
    3. Causes my WinXP desktop (freshly installed) to restart when attempting to connect to the network... every time.
    There is no error message or blue screen... just a sudden restart. I suspect it is a compatibility issue with the Linksys WMP11 wireless network adapter and installed the latest driver from Linksys.
    Are there any settings that need to be changed to correct this?

    Thanks for the welcome.
    In a sense, it is an AEBS issue as the Linksys adapter works with other routers. The problem began with the introduction of the AEBS into the network.
    As in marriage counseling, the issue is not with one or the other but between the two (not that I would know).

  • Airport Extreme & Express in unending restart loop

  • My airport extreme has to be restarted to allow a new device to connect. How do I get it to connect automatically?

    My airport Extreme will not allow new devices to join automatically. I have to restart it every time someone visits. Does anyone know how to get it to see new devices automatically?

    In its default configuration, the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) has its DHCP Server service enabled which would "listen" for requests from network clients that have the counterpart DHCP Client enabled (this would be the clients' default as well).
    It sounds like something is amiss with the DHCP Server service on your AEBS. I would recommend performing a "hard" reset on the AEBS to see if this resolves the problem.

  • Airport Extreme, Full Bars No Connect?

    Please forgive me if this has been answered, but I can't find it. I recently moved and changed service providers from Bellsouth DSL to Cable. I've tried reconfiguring my Base Station with no success. I have 2 lap tops and a Iphone ...They all show my network and full bars, but none will connect? I would like to have internet connected directly to my tower, then out of my tower to the base station. I'm pretty sure this worked for me prior to the move (Basically I don't want my tower to connect wirlessly). I'm not sure what I need to do. Please help.

    First configure your network as I described in my last reply.
    Then setup your AEBS as follows...
    AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    o Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait for at least 30 minutes.
    o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AEBS
    Either connect to the AEBS's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Create a closed network (unchecked)
    o Wireless Security: Not enabled
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
    Internet tab
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure: Using DHCP
    o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Network tab
    o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
    o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    Change Wireless Security
    o Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
    Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
    o Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
    o Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
    o Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)

  • Airport Extreme Seems Unable to Find Non-Apple Wireless Devices-True?

    My Airport Extreme does not seem able to find devices other than other Apple devices, eg, Airport Express. Is this a limitation of the Apple? Can't be, right?

    sorry, i re-read your initial post and i might have been on the wrong track. iStumbler does just that: it scans for networks near you and thus helps you troubleshoot your network in case you get interference.
    back to your your problem. i expect the BD player is a blue ray player so see if this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10649941&#10649941 provides any pointers.

  • Frequent restart of AIRPORT EXTREME necessary for USB printing

    My AIRPORT EXTREME needs to be restarted about once every week through the AIRPORT UTILITY software in order to get the connected USB printer (Brother HL-1450) working.
    The AIRPORT is powered 24h a day and connects to the internet flawlessly but the printer dissappears from the "bonjour" printer list frequently.
    Anyone having an idea?
    (latest AIRPORT software V5.7 installed)
    powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello jlford30. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You may already have everything set up properly...
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
    Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
    - 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
    - 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

  • I just purchased a new airport extreme 802.11ac I set it up and runs fine when i put my mac to sleep i come back and it can not find my airport i have to restart

    I PURCHASED THE NEW AIRPORT EXTREME 802.11AC I SET IT UP AFTER I PUT MY MAC TO SLEEP I COME BACK AND IT SAYS CAN NOT FIND AIRPORT EXTREME I HAVE TO RESTART AND IT FINDS IT.

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Adding AirPort Extreme for a separated network?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get a network setup in a small office, but the details have me swimming in the deep end with various issues (DCHP, subnet masks, etc.).
    Objective:
    Configure two separate networks that don't see each other and both provide WiFi, but share the same internet connection.
    Setup:
    Phone Line>
    BEC (5200?) DSL Modem/Wifi Router (w/ 4 Cat5 ports)>
    AirPort Extreme (7.7.3)
    Dream:
    Connect to the printer from both networks. The printer is currently hard-wired into one of the BEC ports.
    Many thanks for any help (or clarifying questions).
    Z

    OK, thanks.  The AirPort routers use the 10.0.1.x range, so there will not be any chance of an IP address conflict between the two routers on your network.
    Open up AirPort Utility again, click on Edit in the smaller window that appears, then click the Network tab at the too of the window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from "Off" (Bridge Mode) to DHCP and NAT
    You may see a message about Setup over the WAN port on the AirPort, just click to ignore that, then click Update at the lower right of the window and give the AirPort a full minute to restart.
    The following step is optional, but recommended if you can do it
    Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord and also power down the BEC modem/router
    Wait a minute, then start the BEC modem/router and let it run a minute or two
    Then, start the AirPort and let it run a minute
    At this point, the AirPort will display a slow, blinking amber light.
    Go ahead and test a few devices to make sure that they can now connect to the AirPort wireless and get a good Internet connection. Also check to see that they cannot "see" any of the devices on your 192.168 network and vice versa.
    Post back on your progress, please.

  • Can't connect wireless device to airport extreme

    I bought airport extreme router second hand and am connecting it to HP desktop windows 8.  All software is installed properly and router is connected.  I have a solid green light, and internet access on desktop, but cannot connect wireless devices to network (kindle, cell phone, etc.)  All wireless devices show excellent network signal strength, allow me to put the password in, but all show connected and have not internet access.

    This appears to be a simple modem, so assuming that you reset the modem completely before you connected it to the AirPort Extreme, the next step would be to check to insure that the AirPort is in router mode and not bridge mode.
    Open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, and then click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon at the top of the window
    Click the Internet Connection tab just below that
    Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing is set to Share a public IP address
    Click Update to save any changes, and give the AirPort a full minute to restart
    Check the network again to see if devices can connect now.

  • How to configure home network with Airport Extreme + D-Link DIR-665

    *hello everyone,*
    *I had these two working fine together until the D-Link took a dump the other day. No explanation. Just stopped working until I reconfigured everything.*
    *Which then led to my Airport Extreme being unable to connect to the network at all, much less the internet...*
    *My home network is set up like this:*
    *Optimum Cable*
    *Motorola Surfboard modem --> D-Link DIR-655 (via ethernet)*
    *- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on one side of my house*
    *DIR-655 --> Airport Extreme (via ethernet run to other side of house)*
    *- Provides wifi and ethernet connections on the other side of my house*
    *My MBP won't connect to anything other than my AE running N, so I have that set up primarily for my MBP over wifi, while feeding an ethernet connection to a Netgear router running B/G, for my iPhone and other devices.*
    **So here are the relative details:**
    *I decided to start fresh and do a factory default configuration with my Airport Extreme. My working system from earlier was essentially it's own wifi network, but the airport utility 'insists' that I need to run my AE in bridge mode. I've tried that, but I can't get online. I can see my shared connections, so something's getting through, but I cannot connect to them, in addition to being unable to get online.*
    *I'm not really sure how to best illustrate this problem, so I've ran through the process again and jotted down a few notes. Excuse the rambling nature of my narrative, this is a 'blow by blow' account of the Airport Utility setup process:*
    Airport version 7.4.2
    IP address 192.168.0.192
    router address: 192.168.0.2
    Configuring over Airport connection.
    - I want AE to join my current network
    -.. connect AE to my network using ethernet to extend or create second network
    - select device AE will connect to using ethernet - DIR-655 network (displayed w/ airport icon?)
    - create an additional network (through ethernet)
    AE updates..
    - problem 1 of 1 : unsecured wireless network
    wpa wpa2
    Bridge mode or share a single IP address using DHCP
    selected bridge mode
    results: AE has green light, airport utility is satisfied but no connection to network is possible. Shared connections are visible, but unable to access
    next try:
    manual setup
    Wireless mode: create wireless network
    radio mode: 802.11n only (5 GHz)
    channel: auto
    wireless security: WPA2 personal
    (bridge mode still active)
    (this is the exact setup that worked for years before..)
    updated…
    AE light is green, but no connection to internet or shared connections (though visible)
    back to airport utility
    manual setup:
    internet menu:
    connection sharing: share a public IP address
    update
    --> 2 problems
    DHCP Beginning address: 192.168.0.2
    DHCP Ending Address: 192.168.0.2
    chose 'assist me'
    (now one shared connection to Mac Mini becomes active? Had selected it earlier. Able to browse folders, but not share screen)
    AE refreshed now with amber light, with reported problems
    Problem 1 of 2: Internet Connection
    Your Apple Wireless device does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your Apple wireless device is connected to your broadband modem or local network… etc
    - changed IP address to match router IP address (?) Utility goes on to next problem
    Problem 2 of 2: Conflicting DHCP Range
    This Apple wireless device rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. You should probably switch your Apple wireless device to be in bridge mode. If you still want to be using DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, you should change your DHCP range.
    - maintain selection: share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT (utility forces you to: ignore; skip; or select bridge mode - which doesn't work..)
    - chose 'skip' for problem 2
    - updated AE..
    New problem:
    Problem 1 of 1: Double NAT
    This Apple wireless device has a private IP address on its Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP addresses. you should change you Apple wireless device from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
    - selected Bridge Mode
    updated AE…
    "Setup Complete!"
    Unable to connect.
    ** At this point, I am still able to see my shared connections, and while iTunes is open, I can play my shared library that is on my Mac Pro, which connected to the DIR-665 via ethernet, through yet another D-Link router (DIR-615)! I am still connected to the Airport Extreme via wireless, so the system is working, to an extent.*
    *So I'm not sure what to do. How can I remedy my IP address issue? Bridge mode doesn't work (as far as I've experienced), so I'm struggling with my DHCP settings..*
    *Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions!*

    Hi Preston,
    I would recommend not starting the numbering scheme for the IP addresses using a '0'. Yes the range is 0-255, but some numbers are reserved, and not generally good practice.
    Also, assuming you have reset all factory defaults, start anew and have the modem --> router using NAT for dynamic IP addresses --> (other side of the house) Airport Extreme --> not a NAT configuration, but you need a simple switch. Do not use the NAT capabilities on this one. Maybe, just maybe the computer will work now. This will eliminate your double NAT and also help (hopefully) with the D-Link.
    Sorry I cannot help more, I do not own any of the products you talk about, however I have networking experience. Hope it helps.

  • I keep getting write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Gen 5 Airport Extreme USB disk.

    Write errors (-50) when I try to create new files or folders on my Airport Extreme USB disk. Restarting the Airport Extreme seems to solve the issue. Any idea why this occurring? It doesn't seem to be OS specific, meaning I can't write to the drive from a Windows PC or a MacBook Pro.

    Although, I would consider it rare, it is quite possible that this drive is just not 100% compatible with the AirPorts. Typically, in these cases, the AirPort will not even recognize the drive at all ... or it will, but not allow you to access it. I actually haven't come across a case where you can read but not write to a drive consistently or vice versa ... except from Windows-based computers. Sorry!

Maybe you are looking for
