Airport utility does not Time Capsule

I recently bought a 2 TB TimeCapsule airport.  The ethernet cable from the router is plugged into the WAN connector and the power is on the Time Capsule device.  I can access internet via WiFi labeled Apple 686555 network device, but the Airport utility cannot locate the TimeCapsule which is 10 feet.  He sees the Apple 686555 network device, but not to join the airport Time Capsule.  The error is very descriptive: "an unexpected error has occurred.  Try again. "Very revealing.  Don't know what to do.  iMac running OS x 10.10 and 6.3.4 airport

Thoughts?

The "unexpected error" is caused by a bug in Yosemite.

Try powering down of the time Capsule by pulling the power cord to the back of the unit or by unplugging the power cord from the wall AC

Restart the Mac.

After that the Mac was for a minute or two, switch on the time Capsule and let it run for a minute

Then try the installation again

  • Connected to but the Airport utility does not see the time capsules

    Hi, I have several time capsules.

    I can connect to the web, but the airport utility does not see the time capsules.  I tried to restart the time capsules, router, computer, but I still don't see any of the devices on the network.

    What now?

    Have you tried the airport utility in the iOS version... Download on the App or iTunes store and load... Works better than the Mac version.

    Other than what Mac running what OS do you use?

    This modem you have and how is the installation of TC on the network.

  • Airport utility does not support my Airport - options to change the channel?

    I have an older Airport - extreme, I think, and the utility does not support.  I'm out of luck to change channel?  Time Warner said their modem did not support my newest Airport (? it's TWC) and now the internet keeps smoking at least once or twice a day.

    I suggest that you keep it simple.

    Your airport automatically analyze and choose the best channel to use when it lights up. So, if you have not done for some time, powering to the airport, wait a few seconds and then put it to the top.

    Even if you could change the channel... How would you know which channel to choose?

    Time Warner said that their modem did not support my most recent airport

    Time Warner will only support for a product they have received for you.  But this does not mean that a router from Apple will not work with their service. I've used Apple products for over 10 years with Time Warner.

  • Airport utility sees my Time Capsule wireless but can't seem to connect to it or to join.

    I recently moved and my new place I had divided the time to be wired into my Mac Mini Capsule.  Unfortunately, my modem and the time Capsule should be in the living room and my Mini Mac in another room (office).  I tried to connect or to participate in the TC with nothing doesn't.  I have reset the TC, restarted the MM and nothing.  Airport utility see the TC, but can't join her.  Any form of guidelines and suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.  DannyOkie.

    If you reset the Time Capsule (TC) properly holding the reset for 7-8 seconds button, releasing one allowing a full minute of the CT to restart... and... "or have a connection by Ethernet cable from your modem to the WAN" O "port on the TC... then the AirPort Utility will not 'see' the TC again until you put up again.

    To do this, you click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station. Just below this list, you would click on Time Capsule to get the 'Assistant' Installation running.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme as the new device, but you will see Time Capsule on your screen.

    When the configuration "Wizard" opens, it will take a few seconds to scan the network and then propose the correct configuration for you, with a screen similar to the one you see below appearing.

    Click next to start the process, and then follow the guests to name your wireless network name the TC, set up passwords. Once you have updated TC up and running, AirPort Utility will display the CT if you need to make changes to the settings.

  • Linking New Extreme old Extreme and Express. New Airport utility does not recognize old Extreme/Express

    I had a linear new extreme connection (connected to the wireless model Cat5) related to the old extreme then Express (newish).

    I would have put in place using airport Utility (for example) 4 years ago and has worked well.

    I changed my wireless modem (formerly broken) but cannot now reconnect the old extreme and express to the extreme again.

    The extreme new connects to internet just fine as long as it is in Bridge mode (does not work in DHCP/NAT mode).

    My real question is the utility software Airport now seems not to recognize the Express extreme or old old to get re-connected.

    The manual of Apple still shows configurations using the old utilitarian approach Airport (with each unit sitting on LHS page)

    If you're still using OS X (10.5.8)... as, you enter in your profile information... then the AirPort Utility in this operating system must be able to recognize the old AirPort Extreme and Express.

    However, if you have updated to a new operating system such as the Mountain Lion (10.8.x), Mavericks (10.9.x), Yosemite (10.10.x) or El Capitan (10.11.x)... and... you have more "round" or version 'dome' in the form of AirPort Extreme, and an old version of the AirPort Express A1084... so, the new version of AirPort Utility is not compatible with older airports.

    So, this would help a lot if we could get clarification from your part...

    (1) what operating system you're using now?  If you are not sure about this, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac and post back with the Version of OS X number that you see there.

    (2) what version of the AirPort Extreme you may have.  Is it a 'rounder', or 'dome' in the form of version... or... The "flat" or "square" version? If you have flat or square version, the number of model of the device is required. It is on the lower part of the airport, probably integrated in the base of carpet of MOSS. The model number starts with an 'A' follow-up of four digits. Please post back this information.

    (3) what version of AirPort Express you have?  Please look for the model number on the side of the Express. It is difficult to see, with grey lettering in a certain context, so you need to perhaps good lighting and glasses to discern the number of reading.  As extreme, the Express, model number starts with an 'A' followed by four digits. Please post back this information.

    Once we have the information we need, we know more about how to proceed from this point.

  • 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.

  • Airport utility does not have Wifi

    Hello, I tried to set up an airport 1088 on el capitan with the usual pitcher, but when he invites me to select the wifi network selection menu is empty. Any tips?

    What you're trying to do is not officially supported by Apple, so some hiccups are to be expected.

    If the name of the wireless network to which the AirPort Express "will join" does not appear, on everything that you can do is try to type the name of the network, choose a type of wireless security (try WPA/WPA2 Personal) and manually type the wireless network password.

    Another question may also be that a 9 + years, AirPort Express, that lists Apple as "Obsolète", still works properly... Since the average lifecycle of this version of the Express was about 3-4 years.

    Another question would be to know if an Express which is able to connect only to a 802. 11B or 802. 11 g Wireless will be able to connect to the latest 802.11n or 802.11ac wireless network signal, which are common in these days.

  • My AirPort Utility is not configure my Time Capsule

    Hello

    I just bought a Time Capsule and trying to set up, but it seems that my AirPort Utility is not set up. He continues to display an error message.

    Anyone have a similar experience and know the solution to this?

    What is the error?

    It can sometimes be a bit difficult.

    If you have an ipad or iphone... iPad is bigger is easier to work on...

    Download and use the version of iOS utility, because it is much more reliable than the Mac one.

    If you still have questions... Tell us available to the entire network.

  • Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

    I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

    Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

    If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

    If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

  • I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

    Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

    Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

    After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

    Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

    Set up AirPort Extreme again

    Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

  • Portege M200: Rotation utility does not work with the new driver

    Hello

    I have a Portege M200 with the Gforce 5200Go. Since the last officially available graphics driver is the 46,44 I changed the 93.71 and installed. But the Rotation Utility does not work with this driver.

    When I use the driver nv for the rotation of the screen the tabletpen's is more synchronized: move the tabletpen left results in movement of the mouse to the top etc.

    Anyone any ideas?

  • Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder?

    Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder on my MAC?

    "Devices" are connected directly to a Mac and would include things like USB hard drive, FireWire drive and Thunderbolt drive, etc.

    The Capsule is a "network" connected to a network drive... If the operating system on your Mac behave, Time Capsule will appear in the Shared section.

    If you have added a NAS (Network Attached Storage) disk, this product would also appear in the Shared section.

    A wireless printer can also appear under shared.

  • EOS utility does not start

    Running W7, EOS Utility does not start. Worked fine for a few months. Already had some problems with the Wi - Fi connection, which is corrected after unistalling and install again. Now it starts (after editing a W7?). Works fine in another computer running W7. Any suggestions?

    Thank you all. The problem was not an update to W7, but 2015 AVG antivirus. Windows restore feature has been blocked by the anti-virus. When the antivirus has been removed to allow the restoration of Windows to work probperly, EOS utility poped up and worked fine. Now, I have to stop antivirus when using EOS utility. I inform the AV manufacturer to find a solution.

    PS: With friendly assistance from support of AVG, I created a few exceptions (the files that are not checked by AVG) and included the EOS Utility in this list of exceptions. He now works OK!

  • 1102w does not connect correctly to the Airport Extreme Base station (Time Capsule) (wireless)

    & #3; I've been troubleshooting all day on this problem for my parents, trying to set up printing wireless for them on their new HP 1102W. I am trying to connect the printer wireless to their Airport Time Capsule base station. Using the WPS configuration, the printer is recognized by the base station, but I'm still not able to print wirelessly or via airprint. Enter the web configuration via USB, I see that the printer is grateful the network, but it doesn't have an IP address (it is set to auto/DHCP). Later I tried to connect to a shared of my iphone, wifi connection and everything worked perfectly, so the problem is that somehow the printer will not connect properly to the Airport base station. I tried several resets and restarts the printer and the base station, and the printer and the base of the station has new firmware. I also tried to change the security on the terminal of the default wpa2 personal wireless with wpa/wpa2 personal.

    I'd appreciate comments on this issue because I am quite frustrated now :-)

    Using the tool of the airport, I logged on to the base station and changed the wifi settings, while 2.4 and 5 ghz networks have different names instead of identical names standard. That did the trick, eventually I just configured the printer using wps in a few minutes.

    Thanks for your help.
