What does No configured airport base mean

I am desperatly trying to add a TC to my wireless system. I am using a iMac (2 yrs old). Everyting in house is wireless. My Mac Air, etc. We have uVerse so all I want TC to do is be used as a BU. I have plugged TC into power and amber light is blinking. I have downloaded Airport Utility 6.2 for a Mac. When I hit TC icon at top. a screen comes up shows green light for i nternet but the says "No configured airport base has been found". Why is this so difficult?

There is no TC icon on the top of the screen. There is a Time Machine icon.. they are entirely different. Time Machine (TM) is the backup software in your computer. It is not connected in any way to Time Capsule.
TC is Time Capsule.. it is a network device. You are not connected to it, because you haven't directly connected to it by ethernet.
If you want to connect to its wireless and setup over wireless .. not IMHO the best way but possible.. go to the airport symbol on the Mac.. Go to join other networks.. and locate the wireless from the TC and join it. At the present time it is joined to the uverse router.. you cannot see the TC because you have no connection to it.
Please follow the clear instructions I gave already in the other thread. Plug it in by ethernet is the way to do this.. in complete isolation to the rest of the network.

    Open AirPort Utility, the application that you used to configure the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup.
    Click directly on the word "Status" (2nd line) and a window will open to tell you why the Express is complaining. What is the message?
    It might be a notification that an update is available for your Express.

  • What can I do when saw this? "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"

    What can I do when I saw this? "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"
    My Time Machine is not working. And is not connected to my computer.

    Did you update the firmware.. this seems to happen a lot.
    Do a full factory reset and start over.. this is easier with it pulled from the network.. plugged into a computer by ethernet.. then do the reset and when you finish put it back in the network again.

  • No configured Airport Base Stations Have Been found-but we are connected?

    Okay,
    Here is an odd one...actiontec DSL Modem/Router with Airport Extreme. I applied the update, and was having problems with my external hard drive being recognized, so I reset everything-modem and airport. Now that I have, when I launch the Airport Utility, I get a message that no configured airport base stations have been found. Weird thing is I am connected, transfering files, etc. I just cant access my airport to set up my printer and time machine capsule...any suggestions?

    My Mac was working perfectly fine till about a week ago.It would not connect to the internet or anything.I  swapped my computer out clean and still nothing so i gave up since I am new to the Mac. The next morning i turned it on and it worked perfectly fine. That night it started disconnecting me from the web every 5-10 mins but the funny thing was it kept saying i was connected to the internet. I have to keep turning off and back on my Wi-fi for it to work right & even doing that does not solve the problem. I went to my time machine to try to system restore my computer to an earlier date and it does not work.The airport utility comes up and says no configured airport base stations have been found.Airport utility will continue searching. I have no clue what Airport Utility even is when i got my computer furnished threw the college I was going threw at the time everything was already set up on it. The Wi-fi connected instantly. I have a MacBook Pro (OSX) with this software OS Lion. I don't have the money to get it professionally fixed so trying fix this issue on my own. Would a factory reset solve the problem?.

  • What does error -50303 and -50016 mean ?

    Does anyone know what does error -50016 and -50303 mean ? Can you tell me how to solve it ? I am using scxi 1161 for my application and i am getting these error codes.

    Hi Anku
    You can find explanations to error codes in labVIEW by going to the Help menu and selecting Explain Error and then inputing the error codey you get. You can also right-click in the error node in you program that presents this error and choose "Explain error". The two error codes you have posted have the following explanations:
    -50016:
    "NI Platform Services:  The specified window type is not valid or is inappropriate in the context of the current device configuration. The operation could not be completed as specified."
     -50303:  
    "NI Platform Services:  The specified device could not be initialized. The operation could not be completed as specified"
    Does both of these error occur in the same attempt to run or at different attemps to run the code? In which order are you getting these errors if they appear at the same time? The second error code indicates that you either don't have a connection to your instrument, that it's not configured correctly (such as the first error indicates) or that the instrument is not functioning as it should. The first error is a configuration error and could also be a result of the second error (i.e. no connection or broken instrument). So as both error codes you are getting could be a result of the other it is important to note which occurs first.

  • HT1218 my time machine no longer appears in airport utility "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."

    my time machine no longer appears in airport utility "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."

    Basic troubleshooting: start with a "hard reset" - hold its reset button depressed continuously, about five seconds, until your TC's LED flashes rapidly. After a moment or two it will flash amber, slowly. You will then need to reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.
    This does not affect your Time Machine backups.
    If its LED remains illuminated amber without blinking after several minutes, it may have a problem you will be unable to fix. In that event, try another "hard reset".

  • What does Transparent Networking Substrate (TNS) mean ?

    Hello,
    what does Transparent Networking Substrate (TNS) mean?
    I searched several Oracle documentations but couldn't find a plain explanation!
    Thanks
    Axel

    In addition to the glossary definition...
    For what most people care about, TNS is a layer that transparently allows you to use a variety of different methods to resolve database aliases. You can configure a tnsnames.ora file, you can set up Oracle Names, an LDAP directory, or you can use host names.

  • HT201250 what does reported "error code 6584" mean ?

    What does reported "error code 6584" mean ? when trying to get into my time machine back up.

    First, I suggest you make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. You should do that anyway. One backup isn't enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
    1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
    2. Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences and check that the device is selected as a destination. If it isn't, select it and try again.
    3. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take a long time. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
    4. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups on the device will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the device again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.

  • "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Bought new TimeCapsule March 2013. Worked fine. Now get "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Make sure that you have AirPort Utility 6.3.1 installed on your Mac.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.1 for Mac - Support - Apple
    Then, power off the entire network...all devices...in any order that you want
    Wait a minute, then start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the next device connected to the modem, which may be your Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up
    See if AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule now.
    If yes, try another backup. If you encounter an error message, post back with the exact message.

  • No configured airport base stations have been found

    I just purchased a new Time Capsule and tried to set it up according to the included instructions. After the initial set up Airport Utility give the following error message: "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. The only way I can connect to the Internet is wirelessly with a Verizon MiFi wireless modem. Could this be the problem? If so, is there a way to configure the TimeCapsule as a backup only drive?

    I think.. you will get nowhere fast using v6 utility.. you must use the older utility.. 5.6.
    Apple have so dumbed down v6 as to make it useless.
    There are plenty of posts about how to install 5.6 under ML. I don't think it is that hard.
    Download the 5.6 dmg.. open the pkg.. then extract the files from the pkg.
    There is a free utility to do this.. as well as shareware Pacifist.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Simply load the files manually and then run it..
    I am about to try it myself but confess it has not yet happened.
    Make sure the TC is different IP range to the main router..
    Set static IP in the computer and it must work. By all the TCP/IP I have ever learned it has to be available to the computer.. but I will test myself.
