Why is my airport time machine beeping every 30 seconds?

For some reason my airport time machine started to beep every 30 seonds or so. I down loaded the latest firmware (7.7.2) but still have the two beeps every 30 seconds.
It still seems to back up my MacPro and I have the internet.
Thanks,

Find out by opening the status on the airport utility summary page when you highlight the TC. There is no way of figuring it out except via the utility. What does it list is the problem.

I have a Airport Time Machine at my computer, a Airport Extreme in the kitchen, and I want to set-up my Airport Express in my second office. How is this done so all show 4 bars on my iPhone?

I have a Airport Time Machine at my desk in the office with the router, a Airport Extreme to have WiFI in the kitchen connected by my ethernet, and I have a Airport Express in my second business office connected to the ethernet thru a switch.
Will this all work? And what is the best configuration?
Do I connect my Express to the Ethernet? From the installation notes it seems I do, but I'm not sure?
Any help on these is appreciated?

It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

How to see all back ups on Airport Time Machine?

I have lots of backups on an external HD.
Looking for a folder/file is easy because I can see all backuped folders and files in the folder set up I have decided upon.
I would like to see all my folders and files as these have backed up on Airport Time Machine. I just want to see these folders and files like this is the case on my external HD.
They must be placed somewhere on Time Machine.
How can I see these?
I am not really interested in going into Time Machine Backups on a date related basis, but on a folder related basis.

I am not really interested in going into Time Machine Backups on a date related basis, but on a folder related basis.
Unfortunately, Time Machine is not really interested in working this way. Apple takes the word "Time" in Time Machine seriously.
The best that you will be able to do is navigate to find a folder that you want on your Mac
Then, open Time Machine and use the timeline to see different versions of that folder

I would like to set up a homegroup with a new Macbook Pro and 2 Windows PCs. The PCs are wired to an Airport Time Machine and the Mac is wireless. All computers have internet through the Airport Time Machine.

Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it?

I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it? Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

I assume that you are using Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

Why do I get "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on..."

Any idea why I keep getting 'Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on “MyBookLiveDuo”. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you." ? It's just started happening. Running 10.8.2 on two laptops. One is fine backing up the other keeps showing this error. Both versions of the OS are identical. Same wireless network, same Raid back-up, same tiem zone etc. Any ideas? It takes hours to wipe and start again, and really defeats the idea of Time Machine.

The disk images on which the backup data is stored are being corrupted. Backing up to a network device other than a Time Capsule or a Mac is unsupported by Apple. You're completely dependent on the device vendor if something goes wrong, and the vendor will blame Apple.
I suggest you start backing up to a locally-attached external hard drive, preferably more than one, or to a supported network device. If you don't want to do that, use a backup tool other than Time Machine.

My airport time machine blinks orange/yellow. Is the HD full? How do fix this?

My airport time machine blinks orange/yellow. It is always trying to prepare to back up but doesn't seem to be. Looks like HD is full. How do I correct this?

Macbook Pro, one beep every 3 seconds.

Hi,
All of a sudden getting one beep every 3 seconds. Reseated the RAM, ried each module alone and reset the PRAM. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Patrick Campagnone,
Go through the below link as according to the below Apple Support kb " 1 tone, repeating every 5 seconds: This indicates no RAM is installed".
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5860?viewlocale=en_US
If you have an option then also try Interchanging the Ram to a different port as well from where it is currently placed and still if the issue persist as you have already tried with one Ram at a time then the best option would be take a Genius Bar Appointmennt and get your Macbook Checked.

My MacBook keeps beeping every 25 seconds.

MacBook Pro 15" non-retnia. 4 months old. I hardly shut it down, maybe have 3x in 4 months, Genuis said that was fine.
This morning when I opened the cover, it was frozen, I couldn't move my mouse. Then the beeping started. It beeps every 25 seconds.
I muted it and shut it down but the beeping continued while off. I am able to boot back up and use the computer but the beeping continues. There are no updates available, nor have I updated anything recently.
Anyone know what is going on and how I can stop it?
Thanks,
Saraant

Ok, now I am going to sound like the biggest idiot here (if I didn't already by spelling Genius wrong lol)
But I heard the beep differently that last time and it didn't sound good, sounded like there was static interferance... that's when I realized my BF had his walkie-talkie on the table next to me and the battery was beeping "low batt"
UGH! Anyway, I'm so happy it's not my Mac!!!
Sorry to waste anyone's time!

Mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up.

my mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up. Any ideas what is wrong? Removed and re installed memory, that did not work.
Thank You ecbrum

If you're handy with tools, pop the bottom pan on the Mac, take out the RAM sticks, thoroughly clean the contacts on both the sticks and the Mac (blow clean with a compressed air duster on the Mac, use isopropyl alcohol on the contacts on the RAM sticks), reseat and reinstall the sticks and retry. If same, try swapping the RAM sticks. If you need pictorial assistance, see here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+RAM/ 4319/1

Can Time Machine back up a second external hard drive that is attached via usb to a Time Capsule?

Can Time Machine back up a second external hard drive that is attached via usb to a Time Capsule?
I have a iMac with 10.7.4

I want to back up the data on the external Hard Drive that is attached to the Time Capsule to the Tim Capsule using Time Machine.
Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, that will not work. You will need to connect the drive directly to your Mac if you want Time Machine to backup the drive to the Time Capsule.

My macbook air wont boot up. Just beeps every 5 seconds and a white light flashes on front of keyboard

My macbook air wont boot up. Just beeps every 5 seconds and a white light flashes on front of keyboard

That normally indicates an issue with system memory. The startup sequence can't complete the boot due to a memory issue. Take it in for service.

4 beeps every 30 seconds

Hi,My Notebook dv7 A6X02UA#ABA started doing these very annoying 4 short beeps every 30 seconds. If I mute the laptop, then I don't hear it. It started 2 days ago and doesn't seem to stop. The fan looks like it is spinning. Is it the hard drive. So far, the notebook is running ok.I am running Windows 8 64 bits. When I get into the BIOS, the beep doesn't show up.What could it be?Thank you.

Hello Grimberg Thank you for posting on the HP Forums! I understand that there are BIOS beeps from the computer. I will do my best to assist you! To determine what the beeps indicate, please review this HP document: BIOS Beep Codes The document suggests some troubleshooting based on the beeps. If you are unable to resolve the issue, I would contact HP support for assistance. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Will time machine back up a second "internal" drive?

I have a Macbook Pro "late 2008" unibody.
I'd like to eventually buy an SSD drive to use as my "boot up / programs" drive and then use my much larger conventional drive as a "data" drive which will reside where my superdrive was. Will time machine back up this second drive or is it limited to the drive it's installed on?
If it's not possible, I'd appreciate any recommendations / tips on how I would back up the second drive or an alternate back up solution to back up both drives more efficiently.

It'll backup all except items you add in the exclude options as below:
