Unreliable wireless communication between laptop (Vista) and Time Capsule
I am using a Time capsule for my wire less router at home. I have a new laptop running vista and the connection fails frequently. It is restored using repair. This does not happen with this laptop in other wireless locations. I also do not have this problem with my older laptop running xp (at least not as often). Any suggestions?
I am thinking of buying a 802.11n card for the laptop. any chances this will help?
Please open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just under the row of icons
What is the setting that you have for "Wireless Mode" on this device?
It should be "Extend a wireless network" and the other settings should match those on the AirPort Extreme.
Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Make sure that you have a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"

I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup. Now that initial backup is concluded, can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?
can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?
Yes, if the computer will be able to receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
I did not disable wireless. So I assume the backups are occurring both with the ethernet and wirelessly.
It is inot possible to have both an "active" Ethernet and "active" wireless signal simultaneously. If an Ethernet connection is established, your computer will default to the Ethernet connection. If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the computer will revert to the wireless connection.
I also show 2 wireless networks available through Airport. Shouldn't there only be one now?
You have a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule. That means that it will always be providing both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network.
I named my new network the same name as the old network. This enabled all of our devices to continue with their connection without entering the new network and/or passwords; however, I am afraid this may pose problems in the future somehow. Any input on this issue as well?
Things should be fine. Devices will connect to the best signal.....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....based on their capabilties and location in relation to the Time Capsule. -
Wireless between Mac Mini and Time Capsule occasionally goes out.
Is there a known issue with certain models of Mac mini's with wireless issues?
I have a Core 2 Duo Mac Mini (with OS X 10.6.6) with a Time Capsule (7.5.2) used as a wireless router. I also have an iMac, a MacBook, a Windows XP machine and 3 iPhones that connect to the Time Capsule. However, my issues only exists with the Mac Mini which sits about 10 feet away from the Time Capsule and is closer than any other computer.
In short, it appears that my Mac Mini intermittently does not connect to the internet. The wireless signal in the menu bar is fully black the whole time. I've tried connecting to a the regular wireless signal and the 5GHz signal. There is no pattern to the intermittence that I notice. I have a constant ping running on google.com as I'm typing this, and will ping successfully 70%-80% of the time and timeout the rest of the time, all while the wireless indicator in the menu bar is full. This issue has come and gone for about a year now. There will be weeks and sometimes months that the issue doesn't appear, and then sometimes it seems to happen several times a day. Sometimes a reboot seems to resolve the issue, sometimes not. It seems that when I'm not doing anything on the internet, the pings continue to respond successfully, but once I start to "surf" is when the connection will start to drop out again. For instance, if I start watching a YouTube video or stream an audio file, the signal drops out again for a while. Sometimes it will reconnect on its own, sometimes i have to turn the Wireless off and then back on to get it to reconnect. Any help would be much appreciated.Any ideas?

I have got and iPad 2 and iPhone 4s and I need to do a back up of docs, music and photos between Ipad and iphone an Time Capsule.
You backup iOS devices to iTunes.. the iTunes then keeps the files and they are backed up via TM.
To copy the files, you need to download a file app.. just look up file app, and that will allow you to copy files to and from the TC.. you cannot sync to the TC. There is no TM type app for iOS.. and in fact the file apps do not use AFP at all. -
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 -
Best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule
best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule
i live in a two storey house where i use my airport express to create a wireless network in the main floor, and time capsule to extend it in the upper floor, where my room is. i have like 16 mbps in the main floor, and 2-3 mbps in the upper floor after having speediest.
i used time capsule in the upper floor because i use wireless backup daily and don't want to put internet down while i im doin it and consequently my parent can have internet access in the main floor, am i right? or do i have make just the opposite in order to have a good internet speed?
secondly, while checking airport express wireless mode on airport utility, there is like 4 different type of radio mode(802 11n bg comp, 802 11n 2.4, 802 11n a comp, 802 11n 5ghz) which i have no idea what they mean
what do you recommend?
we have like iphone4, iphone 3g, mbookpro, ipad, ipad 2, samsung tv and a sony vaio laptop in the wireless network
thank youWhat you have would appear to be working but I can comment how I would redefine your setup. Note that both Airport Express and Time Capsule can function as wireless base stations so you do have wireless everywhere and at all times — using the Time Capsules for backups doesn’t mean your parents won’t have internet access regardless of the where the base stations are located.
You appear to have devices to connect to your network that use the 2.4 GHz band with 802.11g such as the iPhone 3G and perhaps the 5 GHz band with 802.11n such as likely the Macbook Pro if it’s a recent model. The iPhone 4 can use 5 GHz and 802.11n. Can’t comment on the Sony and Samsung but you can check their specs.
Now the Time Capsule (if it’s a recent version), can simultaneously supply 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band signals, but the Airport Express (if it’s recent) can only use one of those bands at one time. Likely the lowest common denominator for your devices is going to be the 2.4 GHz band since the devices that are capable of using 5 GHZ also support 2.4 GHz. If you don’t use 5 GHz, you won’t lose much in a two-storey home because likely it’s the 2.4 GHz band is better signal anyway because 5 GHz signals drop off quickly with several walls/floors to penetrate.
You also didn’t mention if the Airport Express is used to support a printer and/or AirPlay (using iTunes to play on remote speakers via the Airport Express connection) but that might also be a factor in the best location to place the Airport Express. Although the printer could be switched between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express if needed, only the Airport Express will support your remote speakers.
Recommend you use the Time Capsule as the Base station. When using Airport Utility to define the network, after you name your network, etc., select the Wireless tab, check the box “Allow this network to be extended” and set the Radio Mode to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)”.
Using the Airport Utility, click on the Airport Express; after you define the device and network name, select the Wireless tab, define the Wireless Mode as “Extend a Wireless Network” and check the box “Allow wireless clients”.
Hope that helps. -
Can't establish wireless connection between the printer and computer.
I recently upgraded my wireless to an Apple AirPort Time Capsule. I'm able to set up the printer via USB cable. And I'm able to set up the printer on the network via the Airport WPA utility. However I cannot establish a wireless connection between the computer and the printer. When I go to the printers window in my system prefereces, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu. Only the USB version printer is listed and of course when I disconnect the USB cable it shows as offline.I've tried all the fixes on HP's support pages. I've tried reinstalling the printer on both the router and the computer numerous times. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the printer using the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download). And when I reset the printer to factory settings, then connect it to the computer via the USB, there is no installation software that pops up. Cant even find the **bleep** thing in "Finder". (I'm assuming that it should show up as some sort of external device.) I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network. (sometimes my computer will grab a connection with the next nearest network.) I've checked all the settings for the printer via the HTML configuration utility. I've even updated my Macbook software and restarted it multiple times. Note: the printer actually worked for a bit when I first switched routers, but the printer's wireless function went offline several times and then quit altogether. Really frustrated that I bought another HP product thinking this time things would be different. HP is no help unless you want to pay $$ for a phone call. I'm about ready to take this thing out in the desert to use for target practice and never buy another HP product ever again.
Hi , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with your LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer not showing on your Macintosh computer. I may have found some resources for you.
I have a few questions for you, so I can offer some additional assistance:Before you upgraded to the Apple AirPort Time Capsule, was the printer working wirelessly without any issues?
When you say; 'I reset the printer to factory settings', how where you trying to do this?
I found some instructions from this post: How do I reset my Laserjet p1102w to its defaults, copied here for you:
To restore the printer back to factory settings, turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and the cancel button (x button) then turn the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. (When they say turn the printer off, I think they mean unplug the power cable.)
"I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network." Do you know if you are able to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS)?To access the EWS - Make sure that the Ready light () is on and that the printer is idle and silent.Press and hold the Cancel button (), and release it when the Ready light () begins blinking.The configuration page prints.Type the IP address or host name of the product in the address field of a supported Web browser, and then press Enter on your keyboardLet me know if this page loads
To answer a few more items you have listed:... When I go to the printers window in my system preferences, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu.This could be an issue with your print system, I recommend resetting the printing system and then Repair Disk Permissions - after that try to add the printer again.
... the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download)HP provides their software/drivers to Apple to be released through your Apple software updates. You can review this document on how to Install a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. Which leads into your next point...
... there is no installation software that pops upWhen you connect the USB cable your mac may still recognize the printer software as being already installed - check for apple updatesOn the Mac, click the Apple menu (), and then click Software Update, or click About this Mac, and then click Software Update. A list of available updates displays.
... Not seeing the printer in "Finder" From what I understand most printers will not show in Finder unless you install a memory card into a supported port on certain printer models, only then will it read it like an external device. A few more things you can check are that the new settings in the Apple AirPort Time Capsule are setup to allow the printer to communicate. There are several of these settings listed in this document; Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Issues. HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. I did find 2 more documents that may offer some additional information as well;HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless NetworkAn 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or the details of what happened. I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully with good news! Thanks, -
Error 2032 in communication between Flex Client and WCF
Hi All,
I'm trying to establish communication between Flex Client
and WCF service.
WCF service accepts gZip compressed data and returns gZip
compressed results.
So I used Flex ByteArray.compress() and
ByteArray.uncompress() for this purpose. However, it throws error
2032.
The gZip compression/decompression uses MemoryStream class in
C#. Based on my previous experience, memory stream communication
between Flex and C# gives erro 2032.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks,
VishalI read some thread in the forum, and found somebody had the similar problem with me. Just want to know how to settle this problem.
In the client/server program. Client is a JAVA program and Server a
VC++ program. The connection works, and the problem appears after some time. The Client sends a lots of requests to Serverm, the server seems receive nothing. But at the same time, the server is able to send messages to Client. The Client also can get the messages and handle them. Don't understand why there this problem and why it appears when it wants.
The client is a Win2k platorm with JDK1.3.1 and the server is also a Win2K platform with VC++ 6.0.
In the Client, using:
inputFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
outputToServer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())),true);
Hope can get your help. -
How to extend wireless with airport express and time capsule
So, I have a time capsule & because of the thick walls in my apartment, I can barely use my ipad and iphone at night in my bedroom! (my macbookPRO stays at 3 bars however!)
I bought an airport express thinking I could plug it closer to or inside my bedroom to boost the signal - but it doesn't seem to work that way - any tips on how to set this up?
TWO ADDITIONAL Qs:
Does connecting directly to my time capsule (which i'm assuming i'd need another ethernet cable) help with the boost? (then negates the other great uses for the airport express it seems)
Isn't there a way to do the boost with the express wirelessly? I'd really love to get wireless speakers, use airplay AND be able to use my devices just two rooms away .... HELP!
thanks so much (when did apple phone support start to be closed on Sundays?)
cheers.Suggest that you check your setup again to make sure that the settings are correct on both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
Open AirPort Utility, select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Make sure that a check mark is entered next to "Allow this network to be extended".( If the box is not checked, the Time Capsule will not extend to the AirPort Express)
Click Update to save your settings and close AirPort Utility
Next, open AirPort Utility again, select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Settings should look like this:
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Time Capsule network
Check mark entered next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = Same setting as the Time Capsule
Wireless Password = Same password as the Time Capsule network
Confirm Password
Update to save settings and close AirPort Utility
Locate the AirPort Express approximately half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage. You may need to experiment on placement to find the best compomise.

I have problems in communication between my notebook and Epson printer. It goes offline everytime I unplug it from the notebook and there is no way how to switch it on. Although the printer is recognized and scanning is not a problem. Any solution?
this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem.. -
Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)
Not via Time Machine. It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT: And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port. Second TC not required.

Communication between HP eprint and Google Cloud Print
Hi,
the communication between HP eprint and Google Cloud Print seems to be broken. At least for me.
The documents do get printed when I print vio Chrome browser or Cloud Print dashboard -- but the status in cloud print remains as "submitted". It seems like somehow the HP eprint status doen't get reported back to cloud print. In HP eprintcenter the log says "printed".
Well, I wonder who will take care of this problem ... (Hope it will not result in fingerpointing only ...)
Thanks for your support!
Best,
George
This question was solved.
View Solution.Are you able to log back in later and the status at Google Cloud print update to reflect the true outcome of the print job? Or does it just remain as "submitted". Otherwise, if it is printing and showing in the log at ePrint Center (EPC) as printed, the issue would not be on the ePrint side but on Google's

Communication between the computer and the disc drive failed
The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022). This computer has been out of the box for less than a month and this has been a growing problem.
My problem was FIXED at the apple store..... there was something wrong in the system preferences and the genius deleted something that recreated it's self. Surely enough we we're able to burn a 600 mb dmg of nothing onto a few test disks. For anyone having this issue...it's NOT The media, it's some configuration issue within the computer's preferences. I'm telling you all to take your machine to the nearest apple store and have them fix it, if your machine is still under warranty the fix is free. There was no hardware issue, so the optical drive was not replaced.
