Windows XP SP3 and Time Capsule Delayed Write Failed

I am having difficulty getting my MacBook Pro to back up to my Time Capsule.
TC is 1TB.
Works fine with OSX.
XP SP3 on wireless network allows full internet access and print sharing and also allows very small backups (i.e. one or two documents in a folder) without a problem.
When I try to do a few folders (let alone a full back up) I get an error - Windows delayed write failed.
As I can do small backups I think that this rules out a problem communicating with the TC and also any issues with the formatting of the drive (I have left it as it came from apple - although a right click on the drive states FAT32).
I have a poor work around which is to use Macdrive to mount my OSX disc and backup to that. Reboot into OSX and let time machine take care of the rest.
Very messy but also rules out a size problem and I suspect that this also rules out any problems with the backup utility (Microsoft XPs own)as I don't get the same error with this "networked" drive
I have spent some time looking for ways to fix this and the windows support site suggested disabling a cache option under properties if you right click the drive. This option is not available for the TC as properties only give you information on the free space.
I am now at a loss as to what to do to make this work

Kappy,
Thanks for taking to time to reply.
I don't believe that the TC is FAT32 formated as it is working fine with OSX and I have not formated the drive from how it shipped from apple - which I guess is Mac OS Extended as you described - Have just checked and it is indeed Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
What you suggest with winclone is effectively what I am doing using MacDrive (which allows me to mount the OSX disc in XP and write directly to it).
Is there not a way to back up straight from XP without going via OSX (the literature on TC would suggest this is possible).
I had looked at retrospect to use as a backup instead of XPs own but think I will have the same problem with disc caching. It is not that I cannot write to the TC (as I can in small sizes) its just that I get the error delayed write failed if I try to do a full back up.

Slow connection with my windows xp pc and time capsule

My xp PC is connection via ethernet with time capsule, which is connected via a thompson speedtouch modem/router with the internet.
If I connect my pc to the speedtouch router directly, the internet connection is great. When I connect my PC via TC with the internet the connection becomes extremely slow.
Does anyone have a clew what to do?
Thanks

Hello hermen. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
With the current network configuration, do you currently have the TC configured as a bridge?

Delayed Write Failed - and now it can't start Windows

Help!
I'm in big trouble! I was using my Tecra 9100 (running XP Service Pack 2) and was looking at some of the files I had stored on my memory stick. I selected 'safely remove hardware' and pulled my memory stick out when I was finished. All of a sudden my laptop starts to run slowly and an error message popped up saying 'Delayed Write Failed'.
This is a first for me, and I don't know why this popped up. I read what it had to say below the error - 'Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Kaspersky (can't remember the exact name but it was to do with Kaspersky). The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.'
My laptop became so slow it was unresponsive (although I could move the cursor around) and remained so for 10mins. I tryed Ctrl-Alt-Del, nothing happened. As I could't shutdown Windows, I was forced to hold the power off button for a few seconds to immediately switch it off. Upon switching my laptop back on, I noticed my bootscreen took about 15sec more than before and the blue screen showed up saying 'Windows needs to check your disk for constincency.'
An hour or so later I logged back into my computer and noticed my cursor was rather jumpy and not as smoothe as before. It just wasn't right and about an hour or so later the same error popped up again and my laptop froze. After another power off, the blue screen showed up again saying 'Windows needs to check your disk for constincency' and this time I waited around 4 hours!
When it was finally done, my laptop restarted automatically and the blue screen showed up again! This time cancelled the disk check and when straigh to the log in screen. I logged in and noticed the laptop wasn't up to speed as it was usually with the mouse being jumpy still. I decided to restart the laptop only to see the blue screen again.
I let it go this time and just waited for it to scan. after about 20mins nothing appeared to be happening in the scan so I powered off. Now my computer is seriuosly messed up. When I switched it back on the screen which says Last know good configuration and start windows normally showed up.
Now no matter what I select my laptop just restarts and says cannot proceed due to corrupt or damaged file in \Windows\System. You can attempt to repair this problem by inserting the Windows set-up disk.' Whats the Windows set-up disk?
My laptop is second hand and came with no recovery disks ect. and has XP Pro already installed so i dont have disk. what on earth shall i do?
help will be very appreiciated. thanx.

Sounds like a mean software crash to me. I understand you need to rescue your data before you delete all your files and proceed with a recovery.
What I would do in your situation (did it actually some days ago on a friend's notebook), is:
1) remove the hard drive from my laptop (it's not that hard to do it yourself)
2) purchase an empty external housing for a 2.5" drive to USB (about 10 US$)
3) Install the removed drive into that new housing
4) Backup all my important data at my Office/Friends Computer through the new adapter (you have access to all data areas of the hard disk through USB). Keep the HDD even leveled during this procedure as it might be a damaged drive due to wear and tear of the motor bearing... In such incidents you can hear a changing noise while altering the level of the drive during operation. Maybe you have to keep it in a vertical position to minimize the noises during the final rescue process of your data.
Finally once everything is restored, I would:
5) reinstall the Drive back into the notebook (in order to test its functionality) and do a proper recovery-CD installation.
6) Purchase a new spare drive and have it ready, just in case the old drive reveals as broken.
This is the easiest and most safe way to rescue your data.
You might ask yourself: What caused this to my notebook:
Here are some possible reasons:
- a Virus/malware/incompatible program (30 % chance)
- a broken hard disk (does it sound strange (noisy) lately?) (45 % chance)
- a HDD controller/motherboard problem (10 % chance)
- bad moment like an instant power loss or another undefined reason (15 % chance)
Good luck,
electroch@in
BTW, my friend was very happy to have his broken 60GB Toshiba drive replaced with a new more silent 120GB Samsung drive.

Windows 7 and Time Capsule attached disk - folder copying problems

We have a Time Capsule in a LAN with a USB disk attached to the USB port. The USB disk is available and writable by all computers (Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows 7).
On the Windows 7 PC, the Airport utility is installed along with Bonjour. The drives appear in Windows explorer and can be navigated.
On the Windows 7 PC, when trying to copy folders across to the disk attached to the Time Capsule it often fails saying the disk is no longer available. The disk attached to the Time Capsule is fully functional and so it looks like some config issue within Windows 7!
Could someone please advise what I need to change within Windows 7 to make the use of the disk attached to the Time Capsule more stable?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks!
There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
o From the Vista desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
o Press OK, close all windows and restart.

TrevorQ's idea works great! Thanks! I had already gone and gotten my second nano 4GB and the same thing happened both times after using the updater - called support on first and they had no answer. Thanks a bunch - was starting to lose hope after it happened again on the second one. Must be a problem with the updater 4-23-06 and the newest ITunes upgrade.
If you have trouble with the right click - after the ipod is highlighted then click on the file menu and play the waiting game again - format should appear in the menu after an extended wait. Good luck all!

How do i back up my windows 7 pc to time capsule?

how do i back up my windows 7 pc to time capsule?

Can you see the TC disk in win7?
If not, you need to setup the TC correctly. ie use all SMB compatible names.. not apple names with spaces and apostrophes. Short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
On the file sharing page set the correct workgroup, generally WORKGROUP.
And if you can set the guest account on, to read and write.. makes life easier.
In the windows computer load airport utility for win7. That includes bonjour for windows and access agent to the disk. This is not 100% essential but makes things easier.
Open windows explorer and type
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress into the address bar.. replacing that obviously with actual name or IP.
Now apple do not provide backup software for windows. And win7 home editions cannot backup to network drives.. pro and ultimate can.. thanks bill for product differentiation.. no matter, MSbackup is the worst possible backup utility ever made. There are literally hundreds of backup softwares available for windows.. 99% of them can do network backups. Even on home editions. Buy or try one you download.
I use Macrium Reflect.. free to do disk backup.. you will have to pay for it to do incrementals.
Genie Time Line has a Time Machine like look about it.. but is expensive.
Look up reviews of suitable windows backups. Or use robocopy and script it.

T410: Getting 'Windows Delayed Write Failed' after applying updates

I have a T410. A 2522-AN4. Running Windows XP/Pro.
I have the System Update process running. Every week I get notification of any updates, etc. that I may need to attend to.
On 10/29 the pop-up came up. There were a number of updates in the 'Optional' category.
I installed them all.
As soon as I rebooted the machine, I started received these 'Windows - Delayed Write Failed' popups. Basically the popup window names a file and indicates that 'Windows was unable to save the data for the file C:......'. Almost every boot up would give me one of those for a file with a name that ended in .....crmlog. Sometimes that would be the only message I got. Other times I might get one or two more popups during my use of the machine. Sometimes when printing which would have a file that ended in ....SPL. I never received these errors before applying these updates. I ran a CHKDSK on my drive. It was clean. I ran the HDD diagnostics from the boot menu. Ran perfectly. I did a defrag of my C: drive. No problems. I tried disabling Write Caching on the C: drive. Didn't help. I'm pretty much left to believe that one of these updates I applied has exposed me to this issue. Now the question is which one? And what do I do about it?
Here is what was installed on 10/29:
ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US 1.32-1.12
Intel HD Graphics Driver for Windows XP(GM55) 6.14.10.5292
Intel Pro/1000 LAN Adapter Software for Windows XP 11.5.10.1030
Intel AMT 6.0-MEI and SOL Driver 6.0.0.1179D
Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver for Windows 32 bit 9.6.0.1014
Conexant Audio Software for Windows 7/Vista and XP 4.95.48.0(Win7/Vista)/3.66.146.0(XP)
ThinkVantage Active Protection System 32bit 1.72
ThinkPad UltraNav Utility 2.13
ThinkPad Power Manager 1.88
ThinkVantage Communications Utility 1.42
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP 5.72
Presentation Director 4.56
ThinkPad Hot Key Features Integration Package Setup 3.11.0001
Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP 13.03.0000
Thanks for any help or advice!

OK, that makes sense. That is the driver for the controller for the hard drive?
I double checked in Device Manager. I was at 9.6.0.1014.
According to the Lenovo site that is the latest. I also checked the Intel site and it also listed that same version as the latest.
So I did a Rolback of the driver. That seemed to go with no problems.
Restarted. Got the same error on that .....crmlog file during startup.
So I went back in and now I turned Write Caching back ON for my C: drive.
Restarted. No error on ...crmlog this time. I'll keep running and see if any more pop up.
I think I'm also going to look for some Lenovo diagnostics that run under Windows. I think I saw those.
Does the ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US that also got installed on 10/29 actually update my BIOS?
That was the other area that looked concerning.
I'll keep you posted. I think we are on the right path here. Although I did have some hard drive trouble when I first got the machine in August. The tech I worked with said that there had been some known problems with the hard drives (320GB) in these machines. But it seems to have run fine since I got past that.
I'll keep you posted.

Windows Delayed Write Failed Message

Okay, I've had my iPod classic 80GB working perfectly until a couple days ago, when I plugged it in. iTunes froze up, and wouldn't start back up, until a message came from the bottom right service bar saying "Windows- Delayed Write Failed Message, failed to write to G:/iPod_Control, all data erased, hardware" or something of the sort. Naturally, I assumed the worst, went to My Computer, and formatted the iPod, went back to iTunes, it recognized the iPod, however, it refuses to sync anything, bringing the Windows Delayed Write Fail message in the corner, and then it doesn't recognize the iPod. I've formatted, restored, reset the iPod several times now, and this is really getting frustrating. I even did the hard drive check (My Computer, the one that goes in phases or something), and still nothing. Please help! This is really getting frustrating. Thanks!

*Disable write-behind caching*
Right-click on your iPod in *My Computer* and select Properties and then the tab that says Hardware. Highlight the selection that says *Apple iPod USB Device* and select Properties. Under the tab that says Policies make sure that *Optimize for quick removal* is checked.
Alternatively this registry hack appears to let you disable write-behind caching across the entire file system.
When restoring an iPod it may also pay to use this method to put the data back on in stages.
*Break up large transfers*
In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

Windows - Delayed Write Failed - NANO

Here is what is going on with my brand "new" NANO:
Brand new black Nano 4GB.
Install most update Itunes.
Install most update Ipod Updater (2006-03-23).
Connect Ipod Nano - and open Updater which just freezes with the on screen message "initalizing" and nothing happens.
Now the minute you disconnect the Nano, then we get the message in the system tray..."Windows - Delayed Write failed" with a bunch of other grabage and then updater says connect Ipod.
Now here is what I tried; uninstalled itunes and updater 5 times and the same results; used different USB (6 of them) same results, resetted Nano, same result; installed fresh everything on my Dell Laptop just to rule out running 2 Ipods on same machine; same result on the laptop; and so on.
The kicker is my Ipod Mini works like a champ on this machine with no issues at all.
I'm lost so the ultimate fix I think will be to take it back to Best Buy where I got it on Tursday and get a "new" one unless someone has a fix.

My Airport Extreme and Time Capsule both cannot do not mount my Seagate USB external hard.

My Airport Extreme and Time Capsule both cannot do not mount my Seagate USB external hard.
I am running OS 10.7.5
Both the TC and AE are updated to 7.6.1
The Seagate drive in formatted: Journaled HFS+
I tried everything on Apple's Article: HT1331 and the basic reboots and restarts.
"Next"

It sounds like you may be confusing "mount" with "recognize".
Connect the drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab
Does the AirPort Extreme "recognize" your hard drive? If yes, it will be displayed in the window.
See example below of a WD 500 GB drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
If your drive is formatted HFS+ and it does not appear here, then you will almost certainly need to use a powered USB hub with the hard drive.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply. The USB port on the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule is under powered.
Post back when the drive is "recognized" and we will next "mount" the drive.....although you likely already know how to do this.

How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine

How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine.
I have checked that the firmware has been updated to 7.6.4 . Similalrly the Win8.1 machine has been loaded with the update specified in another discussion.

Firstly how are you connecting to the TC.. wireless or ethernet?
Please open a command window and ping it.. ping by name and by IP address.
If ping succeeds at least by IP it should work.
In windows explorer type
\\10.0.1.1 (or whatever the TC ip is.. that is the default).
Having the airport utility for windows loaded can help the process. As it loads bonjour for windows.
7.6.4 firmware on the TC is useless. It works better on 7.6.1
If the ping does not succeed by either name or IP address yet you have internet through the TC, then your network is setup wrongly. You are have firewalls blocking local IP. Take down all the firewalls.

How to print from windows 7 pc on time capsule network?

I added a new pc with windows 7 on my time capsule network. Existing network includes 2 macbook pros and 1 mac mini with boot camp and windows xp. I have been using the windows xp with bootcamp on the mac mini and printing from it for a couple years. We don't share files between the notebooks and mac mini, just internet access and printing. My bootcamp side got too full which is why I added the new windows pc (yuk) for my windows programs but I cannot figure out how to get the windows pc to recognize my printer connected to airport time capsule. I installed the printer software and drivers and connected it with usb and printed but when I connect the printer back to time capsule the pc doesn't see it. Also, I downloaded bonjour from apple site but still no go. Any help is appreciated. As you can probably tell, I only know enough to be dangerous. That's why I love my Macs, they just work!

The problem is you loaded the printer directly and now do not have it plugged in.. so delete the printer in the control panel.. then setup the printer again.. this time connect to it as network printer. The bonjour should make it available as a network resource..
Tell me if you still run into trouble doing that. You may need to load the IP of the TC manually..
Window7 has higher security level than xp.. and that can sometimes also cause issues.
Are you using SMB compliant names for the TC, wireless and printer??
Can the windows 7 computer get internet via the TC? Can you ping it?
Look up how to reduce the security level in windows to match xp.. I don't remember the details but you have to do some nifty footwork.

Yosemite and Time capsule not working?

I just started using Yosemite on my mac book pro laptop and my mac desktop. Time machine has been fine on my desktop with my external drive which is plugged into the computer. I had no problem with new backups. But, I can't get time machine to work with my laptop and time capsule. I have another external cloud drive as well, and it will not work with that one now either. First, I can no longer just open up my backups from the folders in the finder like I used to be able to. instead all I see is a disk image with my back up and when I click on it I can not open it and get an error message (see below). Also, it will not back up at all, it give me the other error message in this picture. What is going on here? I am so frustrated. I may just have to go to the genius bar but this is so frustrating.
I also can't even access my back ups now from before even if I go in through the finder window and select the hard drive the back up do to go very far back. Only a few days. I am worried that somehow all of my backups are gone but am hoping that is not the case. It all worked fine before I installed Yosemite. I would appreciate any help or guidance.
For the first image, if I try to back up to time capsule I get the exact same message except it says could not back up to the name of my time capsule drive.

A third-party NAS is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know this isn't what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the NAS as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
Apple has published a specification for network devices that work with Time Machine. None of the third-party NAS vendors, as far as I know, meets that specification. They all use the incomplete, obsolete Netatalk implementation of Apple Filing Protocol.
If you want network backup, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
Otherwise, don't use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to back up, though none of them is anywhere near as efficient or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.
If you're determined to keep using the NAS with Time Machine, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple, or you, or anyone but itself.)

XBOX Live and Time Capsule Configurations

I've been searching now for just about an hour online, and unfortunately my head is spinning just a bit trying to figure out how to configure my XBOX Live with Time Capsule. In order to allow for Open access (versus Moderate), it seems as though some manual configurations need to be made so the XBOX and Time Capsule play well together. But the thing I am unable to figure out is...HOW DO I DO THIS?! Specifically, what are the steps I must take to configure Airport and/or XBOX? What information do I need from the XBOX? I've been reading about port forwarding, which seems to be the solution, but I really am not familiar with how this is done on Time Capsule. So for those of you with the know-how and patience to write a play-by-play for dummies from the very beginning to the point where all should work, I'd appreciate it.
Just a quick insight to my network...I have Time Capsule connected to my ISP modem. Thank you!

And isn't the "host device" and "base station" the same thing?
No, host device is the box that is the server you are trying to map to.. base station is the Airport Extreme as he is writing more to that market.. TC is the same though.
Just port forward the standard ports for xbox live.. I do not believe all of these are necessary.
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/network-ports-used-xbox-live
Xbox LIVE requires the following ports to be open:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Make sure you lock the IP of the xbox .. using dhcp reservations in the TC is the best but on the xbox will also work.. the rest should be straight forward.
Tell us a bit more.. What model TC do you have? A1xxx from the base please??
What is the ISP modem? Is it also a router.. if so consider hard using the router in the modem.. if it is upnp so xbox can work automagically .. rather than killing yourself mapping ports.. the advantage of upnp is more than one xbox can work on the same LAN.. you can never do this manually forwarding ports.
What Airport utility are you running? Do you have access to v5 utility? If not I can give instructions to load it on Mountain Lion.
What firmware is the TC on? Lots of issues with 7.6.3 ie the latest one.. so 7.6.1 is better alternative. Always and in some earlier TC then 7.5.2 is much better again.

MacBook Pro and Time Capsule after adding new wireless router

I have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule (which functions wirelessly to router and computer). I added a new wireless router (netgear, not my idea) and had to change name of wireless network. Now Time Capsule flashes amber and does not show up in Airport Utility.
Do I have to set up Time Capsule from scratch? If so, if you can aim me to directions I won't have to waste tech support's time.
My additional question on a similar vein: I also have a Time Capsule (second time capsule) which is plugged into the wireless router using ethernet cable for use with a windows notebook running windows 7 which backs up wirelessly. Do I have to change anything on this Time Capsule (second Time Capsule) as a result of change in name of network (I've already adjusted computer to connect to network)?

Hi DD,
If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).
