TS4611 Guys if you have these build: 12E3200 and your wifi is dropping, is not the your mid 2013 macbook air, is your router, I solve it by setting up my time capsule as a new network problem solved
Here is what I have been doing:
I got my new macbook air 11" two weeks ago, and have been haven problems with wifi connection dropping, I'm using verizon fioz at home, and their router
I also have a time capsule not set up as a network just join it to my current one.
After looking online all these days, I though, maybe is the verizon device that is updated..
I then reset the time capsule, created a new network
connected my system to the time capsule network, and there it is
DONE, everything works now.
So if you are haven the same problem,, that is the fix
hope that helps.
Oh before I did these I try everything, the wifi update from apple don't work it keeps dropping it
I try everything, so don't and delete the system as some people have done, I read somewhere.
try my fix hopes that works.

I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card. I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

New Mid-2013 macbook air BATTERY LIFE decreasing fast?
Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Air 13" 256GB , 4GB RAM. I'm worried about my battery life. With only 2 hours of just surfing the net and on 50% brightness, my battery life dropped to 60%. So every 30 minutes, it drops by 10%. I also found that my computer usage is 95% idle so how can my battery life waste so quickly??
my battery health is 100%. Is that even normal for a Macbook Air that is only 5 days old?
Thank you!

How do I connet my time capsule to a new network
Hey,
I have a Time Capsule, which is set up to my old wifi. Now I have moved, and my Macbook works with the new wifi, but I can't connet my Time Capsule, my computer can't even find it. How do I setup my time capsule to the new wifi?
Please help me.....The best way is to plug the TC by ethernet to main router in the new place. Reset it to factory.. see instructions and then it will appear in your airport utility.
You cannot connect to two different wifi signals at the same time.. if you "join the wireless" the TC will perform poorly.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -
Backup to Time Capsule stopped due to network problem
I have been backing up for a month or so. Now my time capsule stopped backing up. I get the following error message:
There was a problem connecting to the server "Time-Capsule.local".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connections, and then try again.
Here is my setup.
Internet comes in via an airport extreme. I extended the wireless network of the airport extreme to the Time Capsule. I try to backup my MacBook Pro (Lion 10.7) wirelessly to the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule is visible in the Airport Utility, has an IP address and I can access it without a problem. When I go to the settings for time machine I can see the Time Capsule and even select it. But then I get the above error message.
I tried checking the network but to me everyhting looks fine. Not sure how to start trouble shooting this. Who can help?mikefromswiss wrote:

It's eventually just a hang.
Switch off the wireless on all computers.
Power off the Extreme and the TC
Wait a minute or two
Power on the Extreme and wait until the light is steady green
Power on the TC and wait untill the light is steady green
Reconnect the computers one after one

Time Capsule - Create a new network or join existing?
Hello Folks,
So I got my new 2TB Time Capsule and I was reading through the discussion forum on how to set thip up.
I already have wifi in my home and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to connect the TC to the existing wifi network or create a new one?
I have my Wii, a smart TV, a mac, a pc, a printer, 2 iphones and a tablet already using my exisitng wifi connection and it all works very well.
Ideally, I would like TC to use the exisitng wifi, but I did read a few comments that this may not provide the best performance and creating a new network would be a better option.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
Abzt.Do not use join wireless network.. that is slow as slow.
Set the TC to bridge mode and plug it into the current router by ethernet.
Then you have a number of choices.. you can turn off wireless..
Or run a separate wireless network but nothing actually connects to it.
Or use roaming.. ie use the exact same name as present wireless.. same security same password.. and the TC can reinforce the existing wireless.. the best way to do this is in an area of the house that has poor wireless but you can run ethernet to it.. if it doesn't exist just use a standard ethernet patch lead 3 or 4M long and connect the TC there. -
So Apple have known about this since June and they still haven't done anything about it! Has anyone found a solution yet?
Skype will not recognise my video at all. There's no way I would have bought the computer if Apple had told me this was an issue. Any help would be much appreciated.See this thread:

New Mid 2013 Macbook Air Battery Problems
Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Air 2013 13" 128GB , 4GB RAM. I'm worried about my battery life. With only 1 hours of just surfing the net and on 30% brightness, my battery life dropped to 80%. So every 30 minutes, it drops by 10%. I also found that my computer usage is 95% idle so how can my battery life drop so quickly??
my battery health is 100%. My MBA is only 15 days old.
Thank you!
PS: I am running Mountain Lion OSX.Let the battery make a few "cycles" in the first week, then everything should stabilize.

How can I have my iCloud account and my wife's synchronizing photos in the same PC?
I have only one PC at home, but I have my iPhone and my wife has yours.
We want to have our iCloud shared photos in the same PC, but iCloud control center just allow to configure one account.iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Thus, there are no previous backups from 1 or 2 days ago unless you restored your phone & backed up before you restored. Restore point backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

Question says it all
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Did you purchase a second-hand Mac? If so, this is the answer. You need to purchase Mountain Lion by reinstalling the original Mac OS X version that came with your MacBook.
If you didn't purchase a second-hand Mac and you have a Mid 2012 or Mid 2013 MacBook Air, make sure you started up in Recovery HD and that you are using the Apple ID you used to set up your MacBook Air. Another option is to use Internet Recovery (hold Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting), because some users said it doesn't require any Apple ID.
If this doesn't work, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact -
I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.
The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.

Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly. -
I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?
In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.
