Why am I not seeing the contents of my Time Capsule?

I have a Macbook Pro with Yosemite, and an Apple Time Capsule that I back up to with Time Machine. I plugged the capsule into my wireless router and plugged the capsule in to the wall, my laptop is connected to the Internet via the capsule wireless, but nothing shows up in Finder when I click on the capsule in the sidebar.
I did click on the small Connect menu button on the top right of the Finder screen, as well as Get Info, when Finder shows the Time Capsule, but a message saying I need to contact the administrator is displayed. I am the admin.

So I would lose all backups on the TC, that is a drag. I guess I will try that.
No data on the TC hard disk is lost.. except by your deliberate executing a delete command from finder or erase from Airport Utility.. otherwise it is perfectly fine.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
How does the Thunderbolt adapter work? I have a Macbook Air. Right now I just plug the ethernet cable into my router, and then I connect to the TC address.
You still have the TC plugged into main router by ethernet..
You plug the Thunderbolt adapter into the MBA and ethernet cord (you have to buy another one).. into the LAN port of the TC.. turn off the wireless in the MBA so you will force the connection to ethernet.. this is far superior and faster and more reliable interface. And always good to know if things go wrong with wireless.. which is a technology more akin to voodoo that you have a reliable method to use. Wireless is great when you travel.. but it is a major cause of bugs.. so when you are having issues.. always try to bypass it. The thunderbolt to ethernet adapter is priced at just $35 I think.. cf most thunderbolt adapters it is really cheap and worth it.

Why i can not see the columns of "Tax Category" in transaction code FS00

Dear Experts,
Why i can not see the columns of "Tax Category" and "Posting without tax allowed" in tab of "Control Data" transaction code FS00?
How can i add the columns of "Tax Category" and "Posting without tax allowed"?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Go to transaction OBD4, and check whether the field "Tax category" is suppressed in group "Account control" for your GL account group.
If not, then go to OB26 and check the field status for the same field for create, change activity.

Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Why i can not see the Document goods movements from T-CODE CO03 ?

Hello,
why i can not see the Document goods movements list use T-CODE CO03 ? I'm sure i have issueed for this production order. thanks.
xinzhou.

Hi,
Is this a problem with only one order? or with all the Orders of the same "Order Type".
If this is with only one Order, check goods movements actually done or not?
If this problem is with other Orders as well (same Order Type), then with the T.Code; OPL8.
In the 2nd Tab Page (Implemenation) - Whether the Check boxes are filled for Documented Goods Movements??

Every since I upgraded to the latest version (19.0) of FireFox, I can't see the contents of my Profile. It says I have 144mb. FireFox is installed on MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.6.8.
I have even tried copying and pasting the files into a new empty folder. Command Info says 144mb but I don't see files. Somehow they are hidden? Any help is appreciated.

Why do I not see the Airplay icon on any device?

Hello everyone
None of my Apple devices show the Airplay icon anymore. The devices I have are :
* Apple TV 2nd Gen (MC572B/A - v5.3)
* MacBook Mid 2007 13-in running OS X Lion 10.7.5
* MacBook Late 2009 13-in running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
* 2x iPhone 4S (both running iOS 6.1.3)
Other non-Apple devices are 2x 2013 Amazon Kindles, a PS3, Sky HD+ Box w/Wireless Receiver.
I received my Apple TV in Christmas 2011 and I had not noticed a problem with Airplay until I got Sky in February 2013. My network was running on WEP connection as both of the MacBooks had problems using WPA/WPA2 connections when initially setting up the Wifi a couple of years before. It turned out that the Sky box would only play with a WPA connection. It's from here that Airplay stopped working. Previously we could use everything associated with Airplay - stream music from all devices, send pictures and video, and also stream content from iTunes to the Apple TV including films and TV Programmes. Our Apple devices can now connect to the Internet using a WPA connection (the 2007 MacBook cycles for a long time but that is another issue) so this is not a problem, and it's worth noting that all of my non-Apple devices work absolutely perfectly and always have done (also including previous smartphones etc).
I have tried the following solutions :
* http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215 (Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring);
* Changing the DNS Servers (Unsuccessful);
* Restarting the Router (AirPlay icon showed for less than 15 minutes before disappearing again);
* Restarting Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
* Toggling AirPlay in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
* Deleting the WiFi network in Apple TV (Unsuccessful);
* Deleting the WiFi network on my 2007 MacBook and manually adding it (Unsuccessful);
* Deleting the WiFi network on both iPhone 4S' (Unsuccessful);
* Removing the Firewall from my router (Unsuccessful);
* Changing the security options on my router (Unsuccessful);
* Powering off all devices and back on (Unsuccessful);
* NOTE : Home Sharing is turned ON and is visible on Apple TV;
What else can I try that isn't listed? A follow up question is if I bought an Airport Express (I don't want to tbh), would that immediately solve the lack of AirPlay and cycling issues?
Thanks in advance

Just to finish this discussion off, the issue was 100% the router firmware. Please see the below, direct from the support pages of www.plus.net :
The 585v8 v8.2.7.7 firmware is known to cause wi-fi connectivity problems with certain Apple computers. To fix this problem we recommend that you upgrade to v8.2.7.8 that features updated wi-fi drivers from the chipset manufacturer. No official upgrade tool exists for Apple computers so you may need to reflash the firmware using a Windows computer instead.
I did this yesterday after borrowing a PC and it fixed all of the issues I was having - no Airplay icons, cycling for wifi networks, dropped connections - all of these righted themselves after a firmware update.
The reason it wasn't the first thing tried was that I was under the impression that a) my router had up to date firmware as it wasn't clear on my ISP's website, and b) that my router firmware would have updated automatically as there was no option to update on my routers settings page.
The WEP security issues were a bit of a red herring tbh. When I first joined my ISP downgrading the security was the advice given after I experienced initial connection problems, but this was probably due to a lack of updated firmware at the time - the issues had to be related to security which would have been solved by an open network. Obviously this is not ideal, so a WEP connection was a wobbly middle ground.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible. The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.
