Airport utility cannot find the time Capsule, but wireless is fine

All of a sudden my TC stopped taking backups but the wireless works fine.

Airport utility stopped recognizing the TC suddenly...

I think it started acting weird it's because last night, I unplugged the TC of the socket directly instead of turn off... This could be the problem.

This is what, in my view, that the solution could be:

(1) reboot Macbook

(2) open Airport utility

File 3)--> set up

(4) now he would invite, address and password: especially it would be 10.0.0.1, but you get to the option + wifi

(5) then just tweak a setting so that the update button is highlighted...

6) click on update & the router restarts

(7) Viola you should now see the airport in airport utility.

I hope this helps. I tried to put that answer in another thread, but the forum has been locked for discussion... That's why this new post

Thank you

It is not so rosy, as you described!

I can write in folders on Time Capsule, I use internet, but the utility does not see the drives, printer and Time Machine is no more support for MacBook...

The only reason for this behavior is dynamic DNS change the LAN iP addresses... after the router has been reset by the network provider.

Any advice, please?

  • Could not find the Time Capsule for Time Machine backup drive

    My iMac is running El Capitan and Time Machine is unable to find the Time Capsule backup drive.  I blew the backup several times in hopes that it will fix the problem.   The only thing I found which will allow a return to the top is to unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again.  The work around works only once, then it's back to "can't find the backup disk.

    For anyone a cela or similar questions are you go in your Utilities folder (in your applications folder) and run the utility airport to see what he says about the disks attached. This cannot work for the readers of time capsule Apple rather than third party readers who have been designated as the backup time drives machine.

  • Airport utility cannot find Time Capsule

    Airport utility can't find my Time Capsule.

    I tried to reset (factory settings) several times and then reconfigure TC.

    It works for 2 minutes; the led is green and the TC is visible in AU - but while time Machine is looking for the disc and the preparation of the backup, the disk disappears from the to THE and therefore cannot perform a backup.

    Also, the light is still green after the TC disappears from the AU.

    Could there be a problem with AU?
    Or my TC is all just too old? -I do not know what generation it is, but it's at less than 4 years old, maybe 5.

    I have a MacBook Pro running on El Capitan 2012.

    I hope someone knows how to solve this problem

    Could there be a problem with AU?

    No, Airport utility is very good.

    I have a MacBook Pro running on El Capitan 2012.

    Network problem is common... and it's here... El Capo.

    Or my TC is all just too old? -I do not know what generation it is, but it's at less than 4 years old, maybe 5.

    Possibly in combo with this old CT... What model is the basis... A1xxx?

    Or in Airport utility immediately after a reboot... Hold down the option key and double click on the symbol TC. It will open the summary page with the template at the top.

    Have another go with the installation... See below.

    But tell us what is your provision.

    This modem you... brand / model?

    What the TC set, bridge or router?

    Is the computer connected by ethernet or wireless? Have you tried both?

    Here are my suggestions...

    Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the drive hard in doing so.

    Universal factory reset

    Turning off the TC... That is, remove the power supply cord or the power at the wall outlet, wait 10 seconds... Hold the reset button... be nice... Turn on always even now in reset... and keep holding in for another 10 seconds. You may need assistance because it is difficult to hold in reset and power on. It will show the success quickly flashing led front. Release reset... and wait a few minutes for the TC to reset and return with the factory settings. If the front LED flashes quickly you missed and simply try again. The reset is quite fragile in these... Press the key while it is just click away and not more... I've seen people bend lever or even break. I use a toothpick as a tool.

    NB. None of your files on the hard drive of the TC are removed... This simply clears the settings of the router of the TC.

    The installer the TC.

    And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

    1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

    for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

    If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

    2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

    3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

    If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

    4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

    5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually.

    In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

    You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

    However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

    6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

    It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

    You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

  • New mac connects to the time capsule but does not see the old backups

    My new MacBook Pro connects perfectly to my Time Capsule, but it is not all backups that are there.  I can't scroll through them as I can with my old MacBook Pro.  The MacBook still connect to Time Capsule well and see and scroll through all the backups it.

    No idea why?

    I wish that my new mac to be able to go back through the backups as does my current MacBook.

    Thanks for any help.

    Since El Capo OS a lot stricter security.

    You will generally not be able to simply use a backup Time old Machine as you did in the past.

    Backups made by different computers must be used via migration assistant... not just opened in TM.

    However, you can always copy a file or folder, you must manually via the Finder... ride the sparsebundle and access... If you have issues copy folder in the form of TM and then paste it in Finder... There are different ways to trick the it.

  • Workstation cannot find the VMDK file, but it exists.

    I backed up a Windows 7 year last to Carbonite. He had several defined virtual machines and I now have to watch a Windows 7 computer. I downloaded and unpacked the entire file, I think. When I try to run it with my computer it says

    The system cannot find the specified file.

    But the file is actually in the folder where it is looking and he had the same name. Why can't he see the file? How can I solve this problem?

    Depending on the file format of the virtual disk, virtual disk may consist of several hard files, and the error can occur because of one or more of the required . VMDK files is not being restored. If the . a VMDK file is a small text file, it must contain the names of all the -s #. VMDK files.

  • Time capsule works bur airport utility cannot find it

    Hello world

    I have a weird problem with my Time Capsule (2 TB) 2015

    I have the TC connected by ethernet to a modem, and it is plugged into my mac mini (cable as well)

    The TC works very well, it is accessible from the Finder, Time Machine works fine and all my devices can browse the internet via the TC wifi network.

    Airport utility, that the TC is shown as connected with a green dot, however when I try to access the settings of TC, that the system requires a password and when I entered it nothing happens. If I click on the TC once again, I get a requirement pw again. Once I do this once or twice, the TC greys out on airport utility and I get the message "device not found" with the yellow triangle.

    Despite this, the TC is always accessible from the Finder, the wifi works and Time machine is ok.

    Tries to access the site of the iPad or the iPhone displays the same behavior, the utility will continue to ask for a password and it won't let me.

    I did a reset of the TC by pressing the reset button and it worked fine for 24 hours, after which the above problem happened again.

    So I did another reset and even once, he worked for a while, but now I'm at square one.

    Is that what is anyone able to help?

    Thank you

    AirPort Utility is based on both the mDNS (aka, Hello) and IPv6 IP protocols to find an AirPort base station.

    When access to the airport through the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order, accessibility with the utility check after each step:

    • Check the local connection. If you try to access the airport wireless, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
    • Make sure that the base station and your computer are configured for IPv6 link-local only.
      • For a Mac: System preferences > network > Wi - Fi or Ethernet > advanced > TCP/IP tab > configure IPv6: link-local only
      • For the AirPort Base Station:
        • From a Mac: AirPort Utility > select the base station > change > Internet tab > Internet Options... > configure IPv6: link-local only
        • Since an iOS device: AirPort Utility > tap the base station > press Edit > tap Advanced > tap on IPv6 > change configure IPv6 to: link-local only > Tap actually
    • The base station power cycle. Remove the power branch of the socket adapter and then wait 15 seconds before plugging back in.
    • Perform a ' default ' reset on the base station.
  • My Airport utility showing other peoples time Capsules

    When I rebooted my Mac the other day, open AirPort Utility and devices that aren't mine, I saw appear in the preview.  In the screen below, the only one that should be there is one on the right "of AirPo... ase station", the other 3 are NOT mine.  One time capsules shows actually need an update, so it seems to me, of course, that these are physical devices and not a virus/hack on my network.  I live in a fairly secluded, so he of course doesn't seem like I'm picking up these some near my house, so the only other 2 options I can think are something that crosses my ISP, otherwise a kind of Virus/Hack which "looks like" a Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.  I'm sure that this is the first, but I wanted to see if anyone has seen this particular situation/behaviour?

    I have never seen it before.

    What happens when you select one of the other devices?  They open with a popup and can you go into Edit?

  • Airport utility cannot find Airport extreme

    Using vs 6.3.6 on my Mac Pro. Whenever I run the utility it is something different, but there is always at least one of my extremes that will not be detected. Usually, none are detected the first time I run the utility. If I'm lucky I can restart the utility time 3 or 4 and is ultimately connected to the extreme, I need to access. Sometimes I have to reboot the extreme to access even if it displays a green light. This problem also occurs with the current version of the iOS of the utility and when you try to configure the extreme of OS X Server. Server loses its connection to the extreme router and keep telling me that I used the wrong password.

    Found some old validation recommended setting up IPv6 on my Mac Pro local linc, appears not to have any effect.

    Most users will have more luck if IPv6 on airports parameters are defined for Local link only... unless your ISP provided you with IPv6 specific parameters to use for their service and you have verified that your devices are actually IPv6 addresses.

    Affecting airports Local link may be worth a try if you have not already done this. No guarantee, that the "disappearing airport" bug has been around since version 6.x of AirPort Utility was introduced more than 3 years ago.  Strangely, it seems to be creeping to the right these days.

  • Should I buy the time Capsule

    Hi all!

    I currently have an Asus router ac68u from T Mobile. It worked well this year I got it, but with one problem. USB 3 external HARD disk configuration and the service is terrible. The firmware is crippled by T-Mobile and does not have some built-in functions that it should have. I really want to be able to use it with time machine for my MacBook pro and my IMac 27 at the same time. The problem is the speed of backups and fear to use it to view files on the internet. After days of reading and research, my first thought was to replace it with a time Capsule. I would tend to think that the installer would be much less of a headache and it would be much safer way for Mac on the normal FTP or Samba which offer other routers.

    After reading so many comments, I'm wondering 3 things:

    1. the age of the technology of the time Capsule.

    2. the speed and the autonomy of the time Capsule.

    3. Wifi calling under a load.

    The peak use, there will be 14 devices share the router. But the most common are scenarios, four 802.11ac devices using Skype, youtube and Netflix at the same time with a wired broadcast LAN 4 k video peripheral. And 2 readers of streaming HD video over 802.11n.

    It strained my Asus router, but it keeps her on. My service is cable 150mg and I get full 150mg less than 30 feet with a single connected device. The T Mobile router does a good job at wifi under full load calls. I guess it's because the QoS configuration they use.

    Then the time Capsule stand or perform at least as good as my AC68U using my home or should I be looking for a monster like the 3200 AC or an AC-5300 router and buy an external hard drive. I fear that the program installation and safety, but I don't want to lose money on the Time Capsule if it cannot follow.

    You can find the specifications at support.apple.com/specs/. Then select the time Capsule to find the specs on all models from the beginning. They were initially released in 2009.

    My preference would be an Airport Extreme Base Station with a connected backup USB drive. Probably just as good as the time Capsule but more reliable. Backup speed will be slightly faster than Ethernet.

    I don't have experience with the help of so many features at the same time, so I can't comment on this issue.

    The time Capsule and are all two AEBS Gigabit capable. Typical range is clearly brought 150 feet. Walls, windows, walls, ceilings and floors will reduce this range according to the material and the distances.

  • Mac cannot connect to time capsule

    Currently, I had to do a full factory reset on my time capsule to put in place a new DSL modem. now, or computer, my MacBook Pro and my iMac can't find time capsule to do back ups. What is the procedure to get my back ups return?

    You mentioned that you have reconfigured your Time Capsule to work with a new DSL modem, but does not know if you reset the path used by every Mac to find the time Capsule.

    If you don't reset the path to find the time on each Mac Capsule, then each Mac still remembered how to find your Time Capsule on the 'old' network, but they do not know how to find the time on your 'new' network Capsule.

    Start with the MacBook Pro, and...

    Click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac

    Click Open Time Machine Preferences

    Click Add or remove disks

    Under the heading of the backup drives, click the drive that you see here to highlight. The disk will be named 'Data' unless you have changed the name of the disc.

    Click on remove the disc

    Close the window

    Restart the MacBook Pro

    Click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac

    Click Open Time Machine

    Click Select Disk or it can read add / remove disk

    Click on "Data", or the name of your drive to highlight

    Click on using the drive

    Close the window

    Click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac
