Windows 8 cant see time capsule

How do i get Win 8 to see time capsule?

This is the first time I have seen the question.. I guess it was coming.
Did you have TC working with previous version of windows??
Ping the TC and see if you can reach it. If not that is where to start.
When you say.. see.. do you mean connect to the internet or use hard disk resources??

Windows Vista cannot see Time Capsule

I had a network setup via Time Capsule with iMac, Macbook Pro and PC running Vista Business. I have lost internet connectivity on the PC and Airport utility cannot see Time Capsule. The PC is connected to Time Capsule via etherenet. How can I fix this?

ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable. This means all of us using HOME editions are screwed.
Home Edition users would have to perform a Registry edit as follows:
1. Open registry editor (ref: Start > Search > Enter: regedit)
2. Browse to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. Create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME = LmCompatibilityLevel & VALUE = 1
4. Restart your PC and try the connection again...

Airport utlitiy cant find TIme Capsule

While looking for answers to my problem there are several here but none quite fit my problem. I just purchased an A1335 1tb time capsule and upon receiving it started to set it up. My macbook did not find it at first wirelessly till I hooked it up to an ethernet cable. I went through settings and tried to set it up only as wireless network for now seeing as I dont have DSL or cable internet at the moment. However after I finished it went to reset ans restart everything and then it came up with an error ans said now it cant find it all. SO I turned it off and restarted manually thinking it should at least see it. I cant get anything. and to top it off the machine is flashing some sort of error code and I have no way of telling what cause I cant find it. haha
I have even tried resetting it several times to no avail. ideas on what to do would be helpful other than mailing it back. thanks

We will try to adjust the settings on your Time Capsule first, without completely reconfiguring it, but that may be necessary if these steps do not work correctly.
Make sure that you have an Ethernet cable connected from the modem to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule
Connect your spare Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to your Mac
Restart the modem, the Time Capsule and the Mac
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
If you are able to access the settings of the Time Capsule, click the Internet icon and make sure that your settings look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right of the window and the Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds
Restart the Mac and leave the Ethernet cable connected for now. See if you can use your browser to get an Internet connection.
Post back on your progress

Cannot see Time Capsule for backup but internet perfect A

I've seen other posts about time capsule problems and most talk about wireless dropout and loss of internet connectivity. My situation is almost the reverse:
Full airport strength in menu bar. Full access to internet sites on at least one computer. Cannot see Time Capsule via Airport Utility or in Finder on any computer. Time Machine backups fail (marked as Delayed in menu bar item).
If I reboot (via unplugging) the Time Capsule, it shows up again in Airport Utility and backups are successful. This has happened three times now. I think the first time was prior to upgrading the firmware. The second two times were after the Time Capsule firmware upgrade. In the second two instances, it looks like the backups run for about 12-13 hours, every hour. No problems. Then, they drop out. Yesterday, it ran from 8:30 AM until 9 PM.
I've got two Macs (a Powerbook G4 and a MacBook Pro), each running latest software updates (security, 10.5.2, etc.).
Unplugging (rebooting) my Time Capsule each day is not an option. That's partly why I moved from an ancient LinkSys router that always needed to be rebooted since we lost local and internet access. Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Drew

Have you set up the TC with user accounts??
Most people just use the TC password..
I have done very little with user accounts on the TC.. it seems fundamentally wrong headed to me.. If you have a domain controller with everyone using accounts to login that is fine.. and the TC would then exist in connection to the domain controller.. but it is a home device and there is no function to all that.
What will happen if you change over to standard security or even turn on the guest account I am too scared to suggest as you may not easily get connection back again.. The TC certainly displays a warning going to accounts.. I am not sure of warnings going away from accounts.
If you didn't setup the TC, do you have admin access to it??
Perhaps I am assuming too much before you tell me everything. But I may suggest things you don't want to try.. unfortunately I cannot say this will work.. the issue is widespread across the Mountain Lion TC combo and I have yet to see Apple suggest a solution or even fess up there is a problem. Daily reboots are just simply now a part of the scene for all windows and Mac users.
Is the TC the main router for the network.. 1 hour is not default lease in the TC and very few people even know how to change it.. standard is 1day. I would consider 1hr adequately short for all arp tables to be kept up to date.. the computer should be seeking new lease at 30min.. ie half lease time.
If the TC is bridged an not controlling the network.. that can contribute to the issue.
Setting a static IP on the TC if it is bridged my help.

Windows 7 and Time Capsule

Hi to all, i have iMac and one pc with Windows 7.
I configured my Time Capsule with iMac, no problem, all is perfect.
I configured also usb print with bonjour and windows 7. No problem.
The problem is that windows 7 work really bad if i try to access to time capsule hard disk. It is slow, sometimes works, sometimes not and i have to reboot my pc. Sometimes my pc doesn't see time capsule.
I am angry...someone can tell me if time capsule is compatibile with windows 7 32 but ultimate?
Thanks

The interface with Time Capsule and my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit is, at best, capricious. More often than not it is dysfunctional. Attempting to copy and paste files to the Time Capsule from Windows 7 environment is a fools errand.
Apple Support tugged my coat to the fact that the Time Capsule name should be twenty characters or less. Our experience demonstrated that attempting to configure Time Capsule using the AirPort Utility in Windows 7 was folly.
I switched over to my Windows XP Professional installation and successfully made changes in the Time Capsule settings from there.
Sorry I cannot provide more help than this.

I cant access time capsule hard drive.

I cant access time capsule hard drive. Everything was working before but all of a sudden i get an error msg when double clicking on my network drive which states ' The local device name is already in use'. The time capsule wireless network works fine though. I am using Vista 64.

Reboot the entire network.. everything must go off.. all stuff off.
Restart in order.. modem.. router.. TC (maybe also working as router).. other network stuff.. clients.
Can vista now open the disk?
If not try doing it manually.. in windows explorer type the TC address \\10.0.1.1 for instance.. whatever IP it has. I just used default as example.
If no good, open the airport utility which I hope you have installed.
Make sure the TC name is short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Make sure workgroup is correct and guest access is on with read and write permissions.
If still no good.. press and hold the reset.. redo the setup.
Later TC firmware is useless for windows users.. the best was 7.5.2 which you should go back to.
Do you have other clients using the TC? Are they all ok?
vista.. shudder.. has one virtue.. it made me give up windows and move to Mac OS.

Mac can not see time capsule

i bought Time capsule over Amazon .Air port works fine , but my mac can not see time capsule,,,sometime does , but most of the time not...
It is a problem with time capsule i have 2 T new generation

You don't mention what type of Mac you have, but is there any way you can move it around to see if that affects the problem? If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item, you should see a value labeled "RSSI" that is the strength of the wireless signal. A value closer to zero is stronger. For example, -30 is decent but -80 is poor.
By the way, you don't seem to have declared any of your system details in your profile or didn't select your details to be included in your post. Those can help people give you correct advice. To update that, click on "Your Stuff" near the top of a window on these discussion groups, then on "Profile". Scroll down to "My Products" and either edit an existing one or add a new one.

Help - G4 cannot see Time Capsule on Powerup

Hi,
I have one computer - an old G4, an iPhone and a PS3 connected to my Time Capsule (bought in May).
-G4 is connected by Ethernet
-PS3 and iPhone wirelessly
I usually put my G4 to sleep, and wake it, and everything's fine.
Twice now, the power has gone out, and when it comes back, the Time Capsule is green, and the PS3 and iPhone can see it. I boot the G4, and it cannot see it. The G4 also shows a date in 1969 (does that indicate other issues?).
I have tried the following both times -
Resetting the Time Capsule with the pin - does not work
Unplugging and resetting the time capsule with pin - does not work
Rebooting the computer and clearing out the PRAM - does not work
Changing the date to after 2001 on the clock, - no help
Of course, now that I've reset the time capsule, I can't configure it again and have lost the wireless connection.
Last time I eventually got it to work - but it seemed random as to how. I'm frustrated, and I would like any advice possible. I hope it's the computer and not the Time Capsule. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Now I'm getting really annoyed.
Went to see the mac genius today at the Apple store. Saw it wirelessly no problem.
Saw it via Ethernet no problem. When I got him to check that there was a file on the hard drive he did it wirelessly though.
Told me Time Capsule was fine (and I believe him). Told me to take it home, create a second ethernet connection, and trash preferences for "System Configuration" if necessary. Did all that, booted, found the Time Capsule no problem.
Thought my problem was solved, but was it?
Turned off the computer, turned it on a few hours later - will not see Time Capsule, Airport will not recognize it AGAIN. Tried trashing preferences and rebooting - it doesn't work.
I'm able to connect the ethernet cable directly to the DSL modem and use PPPOE, it's fine.
I don't get it. What else can I do?

Parallels Win7 - Airport Utility cannot see Time Capsule

Running Win7 as virtual machine on Mac using Parallels 5.0. Mac can see fully functioning time capsule but when I switch to Win7 virtual machine, airport utility will briefly see time capsule and then it disappears completely. Same happens with using bonjour printer wizard when the HP Laserjet connected via USB to the time capusle will first appear and then disappear after 5-8 seconds. Searched help forums and have not found a solution, and welcome any help please. Internet access via time capsule on Win7 virtual machine not a problem at all.

Same issue, I found this http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=21064
Time Capsule is not a complete product.

Can No Longer See Time Capsule on Windows 7 Laptop

I installed a time capsule as our home network about a year ago. The time capsule is hard wired to the FIOS router (FIOS router wireless turned off). Our computers and digital devices connect to the tme capsule wifi network. I set up the time capsule to be used as a wireless extrnal hard drive and we connect to it with a couple of windows 7 pcs.
About a week ago, around the time of a couple of windows updates, the external drive stopped showing up on one of the laptops. Can still see it and work with it on the other laptop. Wifi network still works fine. Green light on time capsule.
I tried going back to a prior restore point before all the updates, but still cannot "see" the hard drive.
Tried restarting both the laptop and the time capsule, to no avail.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Mike

OK, I fixed it. I went into "Programs and Features" on the control panel and I basically right clicked on Bonjour and Airport and asked wondows to "repair" them. After a few seconds, the Time Capsule had reappeared in "My Computer."
I'm guessing that some critical process required to see the drive had been turned off or stopped working, but who knows ...

If a Windows PC cannot see Time Capsule

Like other users in this forum, my Time Capsule worked flawlessly with my MacBook Pro but I initially could not get my Windows PC (XP) to connect with or identify my Time Capsule. Relying on my IT background, I tried for hours doing everything I could think of. Finally, I went into manual set up in Time Capsule on the Mac and changed to channel to the same one that my Linksys wireless adapter uses on the PC. The Time Capsule came right up and I connected with the password immediately. I wish I did that sooner- I would have saved time and aggravation.

I am not as technically savvy as you are. Would you mind explaining what you did for your PC to see your Time Capsule? I have been working on this for two days.
Thanks for your help.

Windows 7 does not see Time capsule as backup

I've followed a few threads regarding this issue but none of the solutions posted worked for me. I've installed Windows 7 through bootcamp and installed the drivers correctly (I think) using the usb stick for my MacBook Air.
The problem I'm having is that when I try to setup my Time Capsule as a backup for Windows 7, it does not see it under drives or under network. But strangely enough, Windows 7 does it see it under my computer as a network drive: Z:. I can even access the drive with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestion as to how I can fix this issue? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on the MacBook Air recently refreshed running an i7. The Time Capsule is on firmware 7.5.2 and AirPort Utility is version 5.5.3

I thought I was going to be able to see TC from my PC after reading this thread, but it seems I still need a pad on he shoulder. Here's what I've tried so far:
From MAC, Airport Utility, I
1) Clicked the “Enable File Sharing” checkbox
2) Set the “AirPort Disk Guest Access” to: Read and Write
3) Set my PC workgroup as MSHOME, just like on my PC.
My TC's name is "Frank's Time Capsule". In the PC world, I think this translate to "Franks-Time-Capsule"
From PC, I attempted to map the TC as a network drive. Start>Computer Right-Click>Map Network Drive...
I tried the following combination:
://10.0.1.1\Franks-Time-Capsule
://10.0.1.1\Franks Time Capsule
No success: "The network path could not be found"
I then changed the name of my TC's drive to "TC" only.
://10.0.1.1\TC
Still no success: "The network path could not be found"
My question, is
What is the exact path for mapping the TC as a network drive?
What are we mapping? The drive name or the TC name?
Thank you so much....

Windows 8 can't see time capsule

I am connected to the Airport and the internet, but cannot see the Time Capsule drive in Windows 8. What do I need to do?

Open windows explorer and type into the address bar.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
Replacing that TCname or TCIPaddress with the ACTUAL TCname.. Must be SMB compatible.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric .. of course.
Or the TC IP address eg 10.0.1.1
If it fails have you loaded bonjour for windows .. there is none yet for win8 so try and load the win7 version.. alternatively use the whole Airport Utility for windows.
Set the guest account to read and write in the TC and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

Windows can't see Time Capsule. Should I reset?

Hi,
only had my MacBook 4 months so this is all still rather new!
I setup my Time Capsule without any problems and use it for my Time Machine backup. My wifes PC (running XP SP2) could see the HDD and I copied her photos onto it. Now her PC can't see the disk!
How can I fix this? Should I reset the Time Capsule? Will that delete the backup?
BTW the few "Why does it do that?" moments are vastly outnumbered by that "Oh that's nice/clever/cool!!!" ones.
Thanks

Hello bsalisbury1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
When running your Gateway under WinXP, can it see any other wireless networks in the area? If not, then there may be something wrong with the WinXP driver for the Linksys card or the card is not configured properly. Is your Time Capsule (TC) wireless network encrypted: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If it is, and you temporarily disable it, can the desktop see the TC network now?

I bought 2 mac book pros and have time capsule connected to router. Both computers can see time capsule but i can not see other computers.

I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.
Nick

Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick
