Airport Time Capsule re - install

• New connection airport Time Capsule with others

  Quick question I have a new airport Time Capsule. I'm trying to connect my 2 extremes of 2 airport with the new unit. They are in 2 different places in the House, I see them in my utility, but they're more connected... Lost... Help?

  Are you using ethernet to connect or wireless extend?

  When you installed the TC you replace an existing router that used EI or did you do a clean install?

  If you want to extend wireless simply reset the two AE at the factory and start on with installation... they should auto select this option to expand the TC in wireless... but you must start with them the two reset otherwise it will mess up the network.

• Create wireless network with airport Time Capsule

  I replace my ISP provider rented the modem / router with a modem, I bought and I would use my gen current airport Time Capsule to set up the wifi network. I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  I am running OS X Capitan 10.11.3 on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.

  Thank you!

  I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  Hmm.  A time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so what works for one should work for the other and vice versa. You might be looking at old operating instructions?

  Since you've decided to add a new modem, Time Capsule will be reset back to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new modem.  Apple installation "wizard" will guide you in installing the time Capsule, by appointing a wireless network, set up a password, etc, so the process is very easy to name.

  The installation provided with your Time Capsule Guide goes on how to set up the time Capsule.

  After resetting the time Capsule to factory default settings, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

  To get the "Assistant" Setup running, just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for the new AirPort base station. Just below that, click directly on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme, but you would see on your screen time Capsule.

  

  When you click on the Time Capsule, the next screen that is displayed looks like this, except that you will see a picture of a Capsule of time on your screen.

  

  Simply click next to get the process going and follow the instructions.

• Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

  Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

  Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

  When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

  Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

  I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

  1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

  2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

  Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

  Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

  3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

  4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

• HOW THE AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS NETWORK IS PROTECTED?

  I implemented the airport Time Capsule, using a DSL modem connected to the internet as its bridge.  MacBook Pro was used for initial set up by the bolt of lightning to Ethernet connector and then disconnected and works perfectly.  Now, I would like to use Wi - Fi for my Samsung phone not iOS.  On the Samsung wireless I connect to my home network using a password.  Well, I don't think that a password was never set.  How can I configure my wifi at home to establish a password?   I don't think that the modem settings should enter in solving this for me, but I'll add that the modem required a static IP address be entered for this connection when its router features have been disabled for the connection of bridge.

  If the Time Capsule (TC) provides the wireless network, then you can secure it using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the TC and then, select change.
  • Select the wireless tab.
  • In the wireless security, select the type of security. I highly recommend that you choose: WPA2 Personal
  • Enter a password in the field password wireless. Enter the same password in the verify password.
  • Select Update.

  

• Airport Time Capsule and WD MyBook

  I'm a newbie Macbook Pro owner, about a week now, El Capitan running.

  I've just hung up my Airport Time Capsule (3 t) and it seems to work, as the reports of Time Machine backup complete.  I am also connected to the WiFi Airport.

  The Installation Guide says I can connect a hard drive via the USB port.  I have connected a WD MyBook USB port; It is in the format exFAT and contains the data from my old computer to Windows 7.

  What should I do to make this available for the Macbook Pro?  I don't see anywhere in the finder.

  The time Capsule cannot read USB drives to NTFS or exFAT format. Plug it directly into the Mac.

• AirPort Time Capsule Help!

• Parameter problem to the airport Time Capsule

  Already, we currently have a WiFi system with a NetGear router and a modem from Time Warner.

  I just want to use the airport Time Capsule to back up my Mac.  My husband has a PC.  I followed the instructions but the airport still comes up in the utility.

  Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and the latest 802.11 ac 3 TB so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I plug an Ethernet cable at the airport, then in the Modem - nothing after I plug the power - Amber flashing light.  I have changed ports unplugged and plugged back in French - restart the Modem.  Nothing works.  I bought it so it would work straight out of the box - so far, I have spent a lot of time trying to understand it.

  Any help would be so appreciated!

• Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

  Hello.

  Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

  Concerning

  Simon

  Hello Ladro Maltese,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

  This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

  Keep your base station to day.

  After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

  Best regards

• Files of WD My Cloud Airport time capsule

  I use 2T WD My Cloud as a hard disk to backup to my MacBook Pro 13 "2.5 GHz Core i5. How can I do all of my WD My Cloud backup files, transfer to the airport time Capsule. So did anyone get an answer to this question?

  Copy and paste the sparsebundle Time Machine.

  But we do not recommend usually people do. It is much better to just start a new backup for the TC and the old backup on the WD mycloud until you build up a sufficient history... say 3 months on the TC... then you can wipe.

• Airport Time Capsule 2 TB blocking my internet access.

  I just bought a new airport Time Capsule 2 TB. When it is plugged in and running, I lose access to the internet! There is a wifi wireless in the House. What is the cause?

  There is a wifi wireless in the House. What is the cause?

  Potentially, Yes. Network Wi - Fi of the new Time Capsule can interfere with this other Wi - Fi router. What is the brand and model of the other device? What are your objectives of networking for the Time Capsule (TC)? In other words, do you want to expand the wireless of the other device, or create another Wi - Fi network, or something else?

• Need help with the implementation of a replacement airport Time Capsule

  Hi... Recognizing the help. My 1 TB airport Time Capsule (ATC) crashed and I bought a new 2 TB ATC to replace. In my preference system, Time Machine reflects that my ATC 1 TB is still active. How to pay safely my 2 new cases of tuberculosis ATC to replace the 1 TB ATC?

  Assuming that you 1. already connected the new TC on your network, and/or 2. you were able to save all data on TC 1 TB, or simply do not take care of him You can just open Time Machine preferences, turn the Time Machine off, and then select the disk in the new time Capsule. A brand-new first backup starts to run, and it will certainly take time.

  Another option is to connect the new TC on ethernet directly on your Mac and then select the Time Machine preferences, this will speed up the first backup.

  In case you were able to archive the old backup and transfer it to your new TC, you will continue your backup schedule by simply selecting the new TC in Time Machine preferences.

  I hope this helps.
