Basically reboot the whole network.. restart in correct order.. modem.. router/TC...Clients.. 2min gap
Half the time will fix it.
It can also be the backup is corrupt and needs repair.
Are you aware of the supplement to 10.7.5 to fix TM??
This is not related to your problem,, rather it is slow backups.

    First one is good.. anything Pondini responds to listen. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17748380#17748380
    A simple reboot of the whole network.. from off.. modem .. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap will probably fix it.
    If it keeps happening, tell us your OS. (Most likely Mountain Lion.. which has networking ability of wet string and a pair of tin cans).

    Rename the hard disk..
    Then point the TM to the disk of the TC.

    My mac book pro crashed badly after latest Apple update. I have had to reinstall the the operating system to get my mac book pro working again. Thanks to Apple support team who where helpful and actually got my mac able to load up. I am now trying to restore all my documents from Time Machine but keep getting this error message error code -6584  -Help needed  

    Thanks guys but I am scr***d. All my business documents are back up on Time Machine. Tried the Verify option says back up drive is not available. Am I missing something? I have a WD NAS which has my TM backups on it. I know they are on there because I saw them before the clean reinstallation of the OS X.

    I have restarted the time machine.

    There are several references to the error in discussion if you look at the more like this on the right ..
    This one has some answers.. basically option click on the Time Machine icon and use the verfiy backups.

    I don't think Pondini lists that particular error but it is caused by a combo of issues.
    He has a few answers listed in the post above.
    You have listed the OS is 10.7.4 Is this correct??
    There was a supplement to 10.7.5 to fix some serious TM issues.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599
    Then just follow some of the instructions in the pondini trouble shooting.
    If the backups are corrupted you might need to erase and start again.. this is not unusual with wireless connection.

  • Time Capsule Error Code 6753 - Cannot Configure

    I recently purchased a 2TB Time Capsule. The setup went fine, I didn't do anything radical, just let it start a network. The network wifi and ethernet both work fine, time machine backups work fine. Everything works fine.
    The problem is that I cannot access the TC's configuration in Airport Utility now, unless I reset the TC. After a reset I can configure it, and then next time I try it cannot be read again (error code 6753).
    Airport Utility can see the TC just fine, but clicking 'continue' or 'manual setup' results only in it sitting there for a while trying to read the device, and then saying there was an error.
    Does anyone have any advice?

    Are you connecting to the TC from your computer using an ethernet connection?
    If not, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule and try it again.
    If you continue to have difficulties, you may need to do a Factory
    Default Reset.
    Power off the TC for 5-10 minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it while you plug the power back in to the TC
    Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly.
    Then try to reconfigure the TC, again using the ethernet connection. Please post back on your results.

  • Why does my Time Capsule want to do COMPLETE backups every time?

    I'm still new to this Time Capsule, only had it about a week, and i'm still trying to figure it out. I have an old LaCie Hd that i was using for my Time Machine backups before, with 2 partitions, for 2 different computers both running different OS's....1 Snow Leopard, and 1 Lion.
    Now i just got this Time Capsule, and i am under the impression that i don't need to partition anything? I can't anyway, as it is a .sparseimage file. But i should be able to back up all my macs to the same Time Capsule HD. But why is it when i want to back up my Snow Leopard OS and/or Lion OS - that it wants to do a complete backup of all 400+ GB of stuff? I don't change any settings, i just let it do its thing, but when i look at it in the Time Machine/System Preferences it is gathering everything up and taking forever.
    Why does it want to keep backing up my entie computer and not just what's new after the first initial backup? Thanks

    Correct.  Time Machine will make a separate sparse bundle for each Mac.
    Why does it want to keep backing up my entie computer and not just what's new after the first initial backup? 
    The first backup of each Mac to the Time Capsule will be a full one (not just the changes since the last backup to the LaCie).  And that's pretty slow over WIFI, so it's a good idea to do the first one via Ethernet.
    Are you saying that both Macs' initial, full backups to the Time Capsule were completed, but subsequent ones are full backups again?  If so, see #D7 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Why does the Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?

    Why does the The Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?  I tried everything.
    Can I use the Capsule as merely a back up without making use of Wifi?  By connecting by cable to the computer?

    Why does the The Time Capsule of my neighbour appears and not mine?  I tried everything.
    What generation is your neighbour's and what generation is yours??
    Sometimes the changes in the TC and firmware can make wireless fail.. also location is important.. the location of your neighbours might be better than yours.. his also might interfere with yours.. set a fixed channel and try the various channels.
    Can I use the Capsule as merely a back up without making use of Wifi?  By connecting by cable to the computer?
    Sure, but you need to work out how the network is going to work.. if you are still picking up network from wireless.. then set static ip for the TC in a different IP range.. set no gateway (router ip) or dns and it will work just fine.

  • Why does my time capsule not recognize the password when trying to connect Apple TV, iPhone 4s or Canon printer

    I have tried to set up my wireless as before but the Time Capsule only recognizes my Macbook.  I have used the correct password but nothing is happening except an error message.  This should have been simple so what is the glitch.

    Not sure.. but I strongly recommend you start over.
    Use all names that comply with new Apple standard protocol .. ie SMB.. which means the names recommended in the airport utility are WRONG.. do not use them.
    That is especially important for the printer.
    SHORT.. names should be 10characters or less.. if you can manage it.. 20 at most.
    NO SPACES..
    PURE ALPHANUMERIC... no apostrophe, no other illegal characters.
    So call the TC .. TCgenx (x I replace with the actual generation of the product).
    Wireless name.. TCwifi
    Use only wireless passwords that also comply.. only a bit longer is ok.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    No luck.. do some more.
    Set wireless names for the two bands to different values.. eg.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz
    Leave off the security..
    Test 2.4ghz band at channels 11, 6, 1
    Once it works put the security back on.

  • Why does my Time Capsule hard drive keep powering on and off?

    I just noticed that my Time Capsule's hard drive never seems to turn off.
    It used to nicely power down if no Time Machine backups were running...but now, I can hear it click as it tries to power down...only to immediately spin back up again.
    And this happens every 20-30 seconds or so...even if all the computers in the house are off.
    I noticed that the Time Capsule needed a firmware upgrade...I thought that might fix the problem.
    I upgraded to 7.6.1 (the lastest version), but after restarting, the problem persists.
    I've reset the Time Capsule several times, to no avail. I'm afraid it'll burn itself out.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks...

    Thanks LaPastenague, but interestingly, the issue turned out to be rather esoteric.
    We have a headless Mac running as a home theater pc. Apparently, it tried to do an hourly TM backup just as Carbon Copy Cloner (which runs a completely seperate backup) put the computer to sleep after it completed its backup.
    So when the home theater Mac woke up, for some reason it kept having trouble attaching to the Time Capsule disk to do a TM backup...
    ...which is what was making my TC hard drive spin up and down and up and down and up...
    As soon as I fixed the error and the home theater Mac made a successful TM backup, all was well once again.
    (And I've since installed TimeMachineEditor, so these types of backup collisions won't happen anymore.)
    Hope this helps someone else down the line...
    Thanks!

  • Why does my Time Capsule constantly blink yellow?

    I've reset it dozens of times, green light comes on, and after a few days it starts blinking yellow again.  We use it as our wireless modem.   I'm running OS 10.6.8.

    If you start getting server disconnected messages tomorrow.. every few minutes.. go back to 7.5.2 firmware and change the "check for updates" to never.

  • HT201514 error code -6584

    How do I fix this error for my time machine. (error code -6584)

    This shows a corruption in the backup.. it is a fairly serious error and for some reason the TM could not recover as it normally would by starting over.
    Firstly do a full reboot of the whole network.
    If the problem still exists, verify the backup by holding down the option key and click the time machine icon in the top right menu area. A number of new options will appear .. verify being one of them..
    Also read through the "more like this" posts.

  • What does an unexpected error occurred (error code -6584) when opening time machine

    After a terminal hard drive fail in my 2007 imac which was backed up to time machine I tried to restore some data onto my replacement imac 2.9 late 2012.
    I did this via migration assistant - it was a long process about 4 hours - so I went to bed and left it running.
    When I returned to the imac I found I had my old programs back but none of the data assosiated with them - word but no documents, garage sale but no templates and itunes but no music...
    This is my entire music collection of around 300 gig and all my Garage Sale templates which represent years of work.
    Is there anyway to bypass or overcome the error so I can at least get the data mentioned above back?
    any help greatly appreciated
    best wishes
    Strummerman

    To fix the error code -6584 you would need to verify and repair your Time Machine Backup.
    Go to System Preferences > Time Machine.
    Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click the Time Machine menulet and then selecting "Verify Backups".
