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?

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.

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 the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

    Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why does the Firefox icon on my desktop read1788 and not Mozilla?

    Recently the Mozilla icon on my desktop changed from reading Mozilla to 1788 (the writing right under blue the Mozilla Firefox symbol) . Is this something Mozilla has done or is there an issue I need to resolve and if so how to I resolve this issue?
    Also are there any free virus protection, that work with Mozilla?
    Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this matter.

    No, the desktop shortcut hasn't been renamed. First, make sure it's really pointing to Firefox and not something else:
    1. Right-click the icon and choose Properties.
    <br>2. In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
    <br>3. Make sure the Target field says<br>
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    4. If it does, then click the General tab.
    <br>5. In the text box at the top, enter the name you want for the shortcut.
    <br>6. Click the OK button when done.

  • Why does the Wi-Fi work on my iPod  and not my Macbook?

    The router is an arms length away and my Ipod#4 works great. but I cannot get my Macbook to get connected. Whats up?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 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.

  • How does the time capsule work?

    I am unfamiliar with this device. Can anyone explain how this works? I have a Gateway NV79, an IPad 2 and an IPhone. Will the time capsule work with these devices and a printer(Officejet Pro 8600)? If so, how does it do this? I am also wondering how it works as a router? Does it provide the internet access itself or do you have to have a separate source of internet to link to the device?

    A Time Capsule is a wireless router and a hard drive in one package. It does not have a modem built in, so a modem and broadband service is required if you want to be able to connect to the Internet.
    As a wireless router, the Time Capsule can provide connections for up to 50 users and 3 wired Ethernet devices. If you need more Ethernet connections, a switch can be easily added to the Time Capsule for that purpose.
    Your printer could connect to the Time Capsule using either a wired Ethernet connection or wireless connection
    Apple's literature does a good job of describing the product. Be sure to click the links in the upper right hand corner of the main page to learn more about the Backup capabilities, Wireless performance, and detailed Specifications.

  • On the new time capsule a/c, if you lay the device on its side does it change its signal strength in any way? Does the time capsule have to stand up-right all the time?

    On the new time capsule a/c, does the time capsule have to remain up-right? Can the time capsule lay on it's side and still function?
    Thanks

    Please remember that the Time Capsule's antennas are up at the top of the device, and have been designed to work best in that position.
    In addition, the air flow pattern to help cool the internal electronics has been designed to work best with the Time Capsule in a upright position.
    When I lay the Time Capsule down for 30 minutes, it is noticeably warmer. I can't tell if wireless is affected that much since my home is not that big.
    You could try laying the Time Capsule down, but my recommendation would be that you do not do this. You may get a different opinion from another user, so stay tuned.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • My time capsule connotes only with ethernet and not wireless why?

    Firstly, try a factory reset. This can often iron out problems like this.
    Also, what generation is your TC? What version of AirPort Utility are you using?

    How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    Thanks for digging out the facts.
    You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
    Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
    You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

  • Why does my php export feature work in IE and not firefox?

    Why does my php export feature work in IE and not Firefox? I've written a web application which contains a SigmaGrid. The grid controls reload, add update delete, print and export to csv all work in IE8. The export feature does not work in Firefox.

    I'm not sure what's going on for you. I've had 4 other developers - two on Comcast and two on Fios review my work and they get the control and export action in the IE8 version but not the FF10 version.
    Thanks for looking into this for me, though. I appreciate the effort. '' The operation was a success doctor, but the patient died.''
