Why Doesnt the Time Capsule show up my New Raid Setup External HD?

I purchased a new enclosure for a RAID 1 setup (2, 1TB hard drives) and plugged it into my MacBook PRO to use disk utility to set up. The setup was fine. I then plugged this unit into the Time Capsule UBS port and it shows up on the airport application (2, 923gb drives) but does NOT show up on the network - which is what I want it to do. I know the USB port on the TC works because I have a small portable hard drive, plug that in and it shows up. I then unplug it, plug in the RAID and it does not show up on the network but does show up on the airport application.
I hope someone can help me with this.

PS: I have a second question about partitioning this RAID 1 set up but not sure if this is the correct place to pose that question. basically, I want to partition this RAID 1 into 3 partitions; one for Time Machine, one for superduper clone image, and one for misc. extra space. Perhaps you can guide me on where to post this question.

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

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 isn't Time Capsule showing up in Disk Utility?

I'm trying to move a Time Machine backup from an external HD to a .5TB Time Capsule [2008]. I've researched and researched and tried it all.
First, I tried dragging the backups.backupdb to the Time Machine folder as advised in several places. Got the error message "The volume is the wrong format for a backup" altho' I reset the TC to defaults before starting.
Then I tried to do a restore from the external HD holding my Time Machine backups to the TC but the TC isn't showing up as a disk in the left column of disk utility....so I can't select it as a destination drive.
The TC is connected and functioning properly. I started a TM backup on it to see if it was working and it is. I just want all my TM history to migrate to the TC without having to start from scratch.
Also, the TM backups on the external HD are in plain English...all files and folders are readable. The backup I started on the TC is a .sparsebundle and just a single image.
Please advise. I need to send the external HD back to manufacturer as it is making horrific noises.
HELP! [and thanks]

Why isnt the time line showing up normal?

Why isn't my tome line normal? I am unable to load my videos to the tie line in any way. It is a blank box and the best i can do some times is get the audio to show green, I have since gotten that over to the right of the box as normal but still no time line icons such as video or audio. I uninstalled Premier Pro and reinstalled it but still the same. I am also only getting a few options when I click on the file/edit/sequence command buttons at the top, the are all mainly unshaded. What the hell?

Nobody can help you without proper system info and otehr details. That aside, such questions are best asked in the product forums, the Premiere Pro one in your case. Sounds like you need to update your graphics driver and configure it properly - assuming your hardware is actualyl supported....

Why doesnt the Firefox Button show for my Computer which is a Windows?

My Firefox is the latest version yet i do not have the Firefox Button. I have the old fashion File, Edit, View, etc. options on the top of my page.
''Locking as duplicate, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932725]''

On Windows XP the default setup is to show the old style menus, but you can easily switch to using the Firefox button instead. In the View menu select Toolbars, then click the "Menu Bar" entry to deselect it.

Why doesnt the iOS7 Safari show the full URL when you link thru anymore?

The old Safari did this. It's useful to know the full URL.

Please make it a feature we can turn off.
I get how Apple wants to simplify and streamline, but I need this info b/c of how I surf. When I click on the address, at least keep it on the page instead of jumping to the blank page. It's very disconcerting. Even after using iOS for awhile now...I'm still not used to this. In fact, I had has just enough of it and was browsing to see if it was a feature you could turn off in preferences. Apparently not, and apparently, I'm not the only one annoyed by it.

Time Capsule shows error message "Conflicting DHCP Range."

I just set up a wireless network using a Time Capsule as the main router with an Airport Extreme bridged to it so I can have a strong signal downstairs. It all worked fine at first, but at some point the Time Capsule showed this error message on Airport Utility: "Conflicting DHCP Range."
The instructions that pop up when I click on the error message are beyond my level of understanding. They say: "This Airport base station rejected a DHCP address in the same subnet as its internal DHCP server. Try switching your Airport Base Station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode. If you still want to use DHCP and NAT to share a single IP address, change your DHCP range."
Could one of you tell me what I should do? Thanks.

Try switching your Airport Base Station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode.
I suggest that you do what AirPort Utility suggests.....
Open up AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Express and click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update to save the settings and give the AirPort Express a minute to restart

May MacBook and iMac do not backup to the Time capsule after a while

After setting up my MacBook Pro and my iMac to back up with time machine to the Time capsule everything worked, it backed up both hard drives. After a few days I first got the message on my iMac that my imac.sparsbundle is allready in use, and no backup can take place, after onother day the same message appeared on the MacBook Pro. I checked all the settings and once I even reformated the Time Capsule and started from new, with the same result after few days the same message apeard again and no backup takes place.
What must I doo to sort this out?

Launch AirPort Utility and make sure your hard drive is showing up in the disk settings then you can erase the disk then try to use it as a TM backup disk.

TS2655 imac can no longer find the time capsule to add it...how do i fix this

my imac can no longer find the time capsule....i had to delete the old network and re add the time capsule to create a new one and now the imac keeps searching for the base and cant locate it

If you mean that Time Machine can't find the Time Capsule, I'd try using the Time Machine panel of System Preferences to redeclare your backup disk. If that's not what you mean, please explain.

Does the time capsule work as an external hard drive that you can access from multiple lapttops

I have a mac desktop, a macbook and a pc laptop. I also purchased the time capsule. Will that functional as an external hard drive that I can use to save a share documents between. Trying to figure out the best way to work on documents between devices. new to max and trying to make the full switch but still working with toshiba laptop for a while too.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello jhettenhausen,
Yes, it can function as an external drive for all the devices. As for Windows, you just need to make sure that
it is Windows Professional or XP, as they support mapped network drives. Windows 7 Home Premium doesn't is not capable of mapping network drives. At home, I have a ubuntu laptop, Windows 7 Profesional laptop, and Macbook Pro and they all backup to the Time Capsule 1 TB. Hope this helps!!

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

Windows not recognizing my time capsle - I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded airport utility...

I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
Any help much appreciated!

In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)

Why does the iMessage never show what time it was sent

Why does the iMessage never show the time the iMessage was sent and also delivered or read

Matt,
You can't remove the time. However, if you make the column narrower, only the Date will show.

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.
