  Sorry, but from your description, it is possible that the power supply to your Time Capsule is defective.

  What exact model of the time Capsule did you? If it is new, you can get it replaced by Apple, especially if you bought it with another Apple product.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• Add 2nd HARD drive to Time Capsule - best practices?

  Hello

  I have an iMac running El Capitan at the end of 2012, supporting up to a 4th Gen 2 TB Time Capsule. The total size of my backup is 1.05 to. Incremental backups take the total space used on the TC to about 1.6 TB.

  Fear of the HARD drive TC will: phut that I, as a "belt and Suspenders" approach, yesterday signed a 2 TB Western Digital Elements HARD drive for the TC and other introduced Time Machine backups. He is currently conducting his first backup to the new HARD drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.

  The iMac and the TC are connected via 200AV Homeplugs.

  I have two questions if you don't mind...

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are ongoing for the same item, with the same 'history', as they save in alternation? What is wise or even possible? As is stands, the new hard drive back up the iMac from scratch so if the TC HDD died, I'd lose all historical backups (they date back to March 2015), with just a very recent version on the new HARD drive.

  The progress of the backup on the new disk, while that connected to the TC, is slow. After that 11 hours I'm only 16 GB to 1.05 TB - it has not yet calculated the time remaining yet :-) I assumed connecting via Homeplug iMac would be more robust than the Wi - Fi for such a transfer of data. I appreciate there are several factors at play here - the size of the files, the indexing of the backup, the speed of the Homeplugs, age / my wiring standard, etc. etc.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  Thank you very much for any help. After spending only to Mac a few years back I love TM - I have never found a Windows backup system that has worked for me the way of TM.

  See you soon.

  Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are continue from the same point with the same "historical."

  IMHO you do it the correct way back up again.

  The story is not so important after a few weeks and months... If the computer was stolen for example... what you want to do is to restore the computer as is... and what you were doing last year is really little relevant... Even if the TC Gen4 goes wrong, the story is never likely to be lost by the TC Gen4... it just needs the disc removed to put in the work. But it's the current image of the computer which is always the most important.

  We found copy of the enormously successful backups. Although in this case it would have been possible to do an archive... always if you asked the question of what you need to do... Myself and several others here always recommend a new clean as backup being the most reliable method.

  I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

  This is a good question... EOP adapters can be very slow. Slower than wireless AV200 are a pretty old standard and the actual speed could be all about 30Mbps down... It might surprise you... and indeed there have been measured before.

  The problem is that Time Machine backs up differently on the local network FC drives... When you plug the USB key into the TC then it's a network drive and the backup will not be recognized.

  Pondini wrote a method to get around this.

  Here see Q18.

  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  I have not tried... Bob Timmons that's regular shows here has and discovered that it was not reliable. In my view, that a backup is too important to fiddling so.

  However, leaving the USB drive plugged into the Mac and keep the local backup of very good sense. It is much faster and more reliable than the backups over the network.

  If you really want to have the backup on the WD drive plugged into the TC, then I recommend do you via ethernet... Remove the TC of the network if it is too far for a patch lead... you can save the current configuration (export from the main menu of airport utility), then plug it into the computer directly with a short patch lead... and the USB in the TC, the backup will be much more quick... less than one full day (24 hours) for 1 TB if all goes well. Once completed you can then put the TC via the USB back in the network location.

• Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

  Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

  I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

  Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

  Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

  In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

  If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

• Airport the Time Capsule Configuration for desktop?

  I have an airport Time Capsule that I use for support and wireless connectivity to the top of my MacBook Pro.  I have a PC connected to the time Capsule of internet access to the desktop PC.  Is it possible to set up backups from the PC to the time Capsule?

  Usually the time Capsule storage drive is formatted for use with OS X.

  As the old time Capsule (Time Machine backups) are crushed

  by the software as they go obsolete or when runs out of storage space, a

  Backup of Windows files on the same unit would not be a good idea.

  If the 'PC' indicates that your desktop under OS X, then it would

  be able to make backups of the other Mac software Time Machine

  and the total capacity of the unit of the time Capsule may be mitigated by

  the addition of claims on this other machine for the ability of autonomy.

  What is the storage of Time Capsule? I'd look for a separate device

  backup of a Windows system; However if a Mac running Windows, it

  may be possible to set something up for its operating system, other backup players.

  Here is an old source, but good for some information on OS X

  and Time Machine (and time capsule)

• Airport Apple Time Capsule vs Rogers Advanced WiFi Modem Configuration

  Between the use of the advanced WiFi modem from Rogers and airport Time Capsule from Apple - a better/more strong WiFi signal will offer?

  I'm under Apple Airport time Caro as my router now (with Rogers Advanced WiFi modem mode 'bridge').    However - my WiFi connection is weak/inconsistent even after adding 1 Airport Express to extend the network.    My Modem/router are connected with a 2 foot Cat6 my ground floor, with the Airport Express on the floor to extend the reach (via WiFi - not the ethernet connection).

  When I reset my router/modem, get full power - however, after a couple days I get slower speeds.

  Any ideas how to fix?  Users are finding you work better than the other?

  Between the use of the advanced WiFi modem from Rogers and airport Time Capsule from Apple - a better/more strong WiFi signal will offer?

  Turn on the Rogers modem in router mode and launch his wifi... Plug the TC and run it in bridge, but also launch wireless audio... There is absolutely NO reason not to use both... You will often find the 2.4 ghz superior to the airport the Rogers Wireless. Apple has deliberately reduced its speed... If you need set channels wireless manual... for example of Rogers on the TC on Channel 6 and channel 11.

  5 GHz has penetration and poor range, especially when you look at the wireless signal directly above or below any router... It is of course extremely beneficial to use ethernet between the floors... Run the Rogers down and move the TC on the floor... that gives you much better signal allows you to get the most out of two wireless routers.

  Extend (Repeater) wireless using the Express will condemn you slow wireless forever. Repeaters by their nature even halve the speed of the connection... and if you place the Express in a poor signal area... getting worse. Express should be located to midway between the two... no physical distance but the power of the signal... If it gets bad signal, it will give terrible results since its own signal will be strong for customers.

  Test it... give up the Express... run ethernet to the top of the stairs and just try it with the TC to the right place.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

• Two express AirPort and time capsule connectivity challenge

  Dear readers,

  I have a Time Capsule 802.11 ac connected to my ISP router and this is the router that provides DHCP addresses, etc. In our living room, I have an airport express (2nd generation) connected via radio and it works very well also. Now I got as a second AE (2nd generation) and want to put it on the floor of the attic to get a stronger signal via Ethernet to my TC. When I connect to a LAN of the TC port to the EI LAN port, the AE salon disconnects. When I add the Ethernet of AE cable in the WAN port both t he AE to the attic and TC disconnected. Currently, it is also connected via radio and it works, but will of course loose flow because it must still go through the different floors through the air compared to a stronger signal via Ethernet.

  Question I have, can I connect an AE with an Ethernet cable (and how to set up the AE or TC as a result) and an adverse event via wireless (IE editing exsisting which works, but let me know if you have to configure changes too)?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  Can question I have, I connect an adverse event with an Ethernet cable (and how to set up the AE or TC as a result)

  Yes, but you will need to restart and reset back to default settings AE. Then connect the Ethernet cable between a LAN <>- on the TC port to the "O" of EI before WAN port you are trying to configure EI.

  The problem that you are experiencing now is probably caused by connecting an Ethernet cable to an adverse event that has already been configured to "extend a wireless network. When EI is configured this way, is expected to Wireless ... not Ethernet. Ethernet is applied, it creates a feedback loop huge on the network which can cause all sorts of issues.

  Wizard Installation from Apple because most of the work for you. Just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and then click on AirPort Express under the title of the new AirPort base station.

  

  When you click on AirPort Express, which will start the configuration "Wizard". It will take a few seconds to analyze the network, and then present a screen that looks like this:

  

  Type a device name you want to call the AE, and then click Next.  Monitor the screen following very closely... See the illustration below to confirm that the AE is set up "extend using Ethernet.  Who will confirm that the wizard picked the Ethernet between the TC and AE and apply the correct settings to EI.

  

  When you see the message Setup is complete, click done and you're done.

  If the 'other' AE is already set up to extend, then no further changes will be necessary on this device.

• Is it possible to use express Airport and Time Capsule both as two Wifi-repeaters at the same time?

  Hello

  I have a time Capsule from the airport. I use it for my back ups and he repeats my wifi in the House (bottom).

  Now I need a Repeater wifi upstairs. I think to buy Airport Express. I will connect the Airport express with a Lan connection on the floor. And then I would also have wifi on the floor.

  But is it possible to use the time Capsule Airport express airport and at the same time: two repeaters-wifi?

  1. I have a Fritz! Box router / wifi (we called wifi Fritz! box)

  2. I have a time Capsule airport / wifi Repeater (we called the turtle wifi)

  3 and now I want Airport express on the floor for the wifi upstairs (another name for this wifi?)

  Is this possible?

  Before I had used TP-link (in socket), but it works for a few months.

  Thank you for your help and advice.

  2. I have a time Capsule airport / wifi Repeater (we called the turtle wifi)

  I think that your terminology wrong... the TC cannot work as a Repeater in the Frtiz.

  I think that you have done is connect via ethernet and run it as wireless... or WAP Access Point. It is perfectly great way to do it.

  3 and now I want Airport express on the floor for the wifi upstairs (another name for this wifi?)

  This is connected by ethernet, then it will work fine... you can call it Expresswifi

  You are certainly going to clutter the wireless channels, you could so be interesting rather than auto setting fastenings.

  2.4 ghz has been set to 1, TC 6 and 11 Express then Frtiz.

  5 GHz is less of a problem... auto should be fine, because the beach is mediocre.

• To transfer the old backups Time Machine from a hard disk external to the airport in Time Capsule

  Is it possible to transfer the old Time Machine backups from my external hard drive to Time Capsule airport?

  Having done this in the past, I can say that it is possilble... but is not anywhere near the amount of time and effort it will take to do this.

  Even when I was successful, Time Machine has started a new backup of the Mac... it has not added on the old existing backups, so I lost a good part of the backup on the Time Capsule space.

  This will be easier if you keep just on the hard drive for a few months... in case you need to go back and pick up a file... While the time Capsule built a new story backups tons.  After 3 to 6 months, you will not need the old backups, and you can erase the disc and use it as a spare part.

  If you want to try it anyway... see this article: http://pondini.org/TM/18.html

• Fusion 2 &amp; Time Machine - best practices

  With regard to the use of Time Machine backup virtual machines: my best reading of the various positions is "it works but don't do it."

  (1) unusual can happen to the virtual machine. SCARY

  (2) the backup drive will be consumed quickly. I always check this by looking at the rate at which free space is consumed. A tech rep Apple is said to be "file deltas" are stored - i.e. If the file then change only the changed items are written on the next backup, not the entire file. From there, I concluded that Time Machine is looking at allowance individual disk (blocks) units. This seems to be just what is called for with a file of the machine virtual multi GB. Hmm... not sure that I am continuously on the ground here.

  In any case, can someone provide the consensus of the bottom line - I should exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine backups or not?

  Best regards

  Either Apple technology does not know what he was talking about or you misunderstood or both.

  From there, I concluded that Time Machine is looking at allowance individual disk (blocks) units.

  This isn't how Time Machine works.  After the initial backup, which is a backup full, he then made incremental backups at the level of the file system not at the level of the block, and as such, there is more of that potential do not have all of the files that make up the full package of Virtual Machine backed up in its entirety.

  In any case, can someone provide the consensus of the bottom line - I should exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine backups or not?

  While Time Machine can back up and restore a virtual machine with success there are a number of conditions that can cause this to fail and without warning, and therefore it is not considered reliable for backup of Virtual Machines under normal conditions.

  AFAIC backup is valid of a Virtual Machine is when it is done with the Virtual Machine to stop, not suspended and closed merger and the entire Virtual Machine is copied to another location in which one has a little bit duplicate of the complete set of the VM total at this point in time, and nothing less.

• The utility Airport and Time Capsule, not appear...

  Hello all! I have an old TC (not sure how old but less than 3 years) which appears in Airport utility on my iPhone but not on my Mac. I have my TC in Bridge mode.

  During the night, we lost our internet connection so this morning, I restarted my modem/router to Comcast. He looked like my TC starts fine but when I open the Airport utility on my Mac it isn't here, but if I open Airport utility on my iPhone 6 is here. I wonder why it appears on one and not the other...

  Thank you for your valuable information and knowledge! Judy

  You only need a device with AirPort Utility installed to be able to administer all the airport on your network routers... and, as you have found... the software on the iOS version of the utility is better than the software on a Mac.

  Thus, an option would be to use Airport utility on the iPad and not to use it on the Mac.

  If you want to keep the AirPort Utility to work on your Mac, there are some settings to check and possibly change that could help with the "airports endangered" issue, who is with us for a few years.  No guarantee that this will help, but it won't hurt either. If you have 10-15 minutes free to work on your Mac, and we'll see what we can do.
