• Time capsule 'unexpected error' despite the reset and the IPv6 local link configuration

  Hello

  I try to use a time capsule that I have not used for a long time to backup my mac.

  I have adware on chrome and safari that I cannot get rid of (trovi) despite several attempts (extensions, resets etc.)

  I decided to upgrade to el capitan, so that I could use software removal that does not work on Lion, but now I can't save because time capsule gives me "error unexpecetd".

  I have reset the TC and I configured link-local IPv6, but am still having the same problem.

  Anyone know if it is a question can be resolved?

  Thank you!

  It is possible that software that you download to help get rid of the adware etc... blocking the work TM... affects a lot of bad a antivirus software on Mac OS. McAfee is one of the worst.

  What operating system are you currently using?

  There is no need to upgrade... but it is necessary to clean install.

  Download and use Carbon Copy Cloner. You can use it for free for a month... I highly recommend you do the backup on a USB key connected to the Mac, so it can be made bootable... and then can be tested immediately.

  You can use the TC and the backup to that... but you can't boot from network drives.

  I can recommend you to do a clean install... just wipe the mac and start again... It's extremely better than any software removal tools.

• How to set the type of wifi (WPA/WPA2) security settings on my new Apple Time Capsule

  I just got my new 3T Apple Time Capsule and have implemented the new network, but I can't seem to find a way to check if the security settings WPA/WPA2 etc are defined.  How do I do that?

  By default, the settings are WPA2 Personal. There should be no need to change it.

  To view the settings and make changes to them, you need to open the AirPort on your Mac utility.  Are you still using OS X (10.6.3) you specify in your profile?

• TWC Modem/Router-with Apple Time Capsule extreme

  Can someone find me on this configuration?

  I'm trying to improve the coverage of the WiFi in my house and I'm trying to do so via an ethernet connection to two Capsules of time separate Apple.  One is an airport Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation/Firmware 7.6.4) and the other is a Time Capsule 802.11ac Airport (7.73 firmware).

  I have a Time Warner cable wireless modem/router (Arris 860 has TG1672G). The configuration in the network for NAT settings is "RoutedWithNAT". I'm going out this modem/router via a ZyXel AV2000 HomePlug AV2 Powerline Gigabit Pass-Thru 2-port Ethernet Adapter (I have no ethernet strung in this particular room) in the AC of the Apple Time Capsule 802.11.  The configuration for that Time Capsule is Mode/Off/network wireless and network /Router Mode / Off (Bridge Mode).  The other Time Capsule has the same configuration.

  That is the question... is the right way to get faster WiFi?  I realize by using the Homeplug may not help my cause, but I have to guess that it is faster to go wireless two correct time Capsules?

  The issue I'm having is that it's slow and I can't understand why.

  Thank you for the kind words.

  I wanted to add a few things to this post...

  I tested out the ZyXel ethernet to my MacBook Pro and ran a Speedtest.  He retired.  Very fast.

  Here are the screenshots of my two time Capsules config and my modem/router from Time Warner.

  

  

  

  In the meantime, here is the speed I get via radio... pretty dismal.

  

• 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.

• Time capsule and errors to restore backups

  I'm trying to restore different backups of 2 macbooks by using the migration wizard and finder, but I do get rather a warning message that the disk image could not be opened because there is no file system mountable or that the operation has been exceeded.

  Otherwise, when I try to backup using time machine on the space remaining (1 TB) disk 2 TB of the time capsule, I repeatedly get the message that: "' Time Machine has conducted an audit of the backups on 'Time Capsule'." To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup"' when I click on"start new Backup ".

  Any chance to access and retrieve the data stored on this disk?

  Thank you.

  Once a backup Time Machine is corrupted, it is extremely difficult to recover. If you click on this message... TM will delete the existing backup and start over.

  What model is the TC you use? Is it Gen4 or earlier... That is to say a flat one. If this is the case, you can remove the hard drive and put it in a door - and maybe access backup directly from the computer. If it's a Gen5... tall, then you will a lot more difficult. The hard drive is not easy to get out and it is very easy to damage the cable that connects the drive of TC in the plate.

  See https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule

  You can always try to recover from the Finder. How successful will be depends entirely on suite corrupt how backups are.

  Someone has worked hard to extract their data and published some useful information that I kept at hand.

  Difficulty corrupted backup TM. Re: backup Time Machine stalls after upgrade of El Capitan

  (1) disable Time Machine.

  (2) judgment of all index Spotlight (mdutil d - a).

  (3) destroy all Spotlight indexes (rm - rf /.) Spotlight - V100) manually.

  (4) fix a problem of permission of system files with Spotlight (removed a bunch of files belonged to a non-existent user in a subfolder/private/var/folders Spotlight created). No idea how they got there, but they were there, and newspapers are complaining about them causing a fatal error.

  (5) index Spotlight the reactivation and let them build entirely.

  (6) re - run a backup Time Machine original.

  Unfortunately at the time where you get the message about corrupt backups, it is too late...

  It will be a bigger and bigger problem... and I'm encouraging people to rely not on TM of the way in which they may have had in the past. I use a secondary backup to TM system... Carbon Copy clone... CCC, which performs a backup much more simple... a direct clone... It is much less likely to be corrupt and can be instantly tested by booting from the clone (using USB) external to it.

• Since the upgrade to El Capitan my automatic backups on my Apple Time capsule do not work

  Everything worked fine until I upgraded to El Capitan... now I don't have enough space for back ups on my time capsule (1 TB is) and a couple of years.

  What can I do simple?

  Thank you

  You have 3 options.  Ranked in order of the most expensive on the down...

  (1) add a new time Capsule and start backups goes to this device. It is also the easiest option.

  (2) add a USB hard drive to the existing time Capsule and start going that animate the backups. Next best option in terms of simplicity

  (3) delete the existing and any time Capsule hard drive start over with new backups. Not too difficult, if you're good by following the instructions

• 2011 13 "MacBook Pro, Apple Time Capsule and HP C6180 printer problem

  
  

  You try to connect the printer to your Time Capsule or via USB to a Mac and share it or via the port on the Time Capsule or via Ethernet USB cable on the Time Capsule?

  I recommend Wired Ethernet to the time Capsule, but if it's too far, wireless is the next best thing.  Here's how to connect wirelessly:

  On the front of the printer: Setup > network > reset default network

  Also on the front of the printer: Setup > network > Wireless Assistant - follow signs

  Finally, each of the Mac, restore the print system:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

• Cannot view or connect to the Wifi network of 5 GHz with Time Capsule from Apple 5th generation

  I have a new Apple Time Capsule 2 TB with 802.11ac network support. I have setup my base station in order to disseminate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network SSID. I have 2 apple (iPad Mini and Macbook Pro) time devices can see and connect to Terminal 5 GHz network however I have also a Lenovo Vibe P1 phone (dual band wifi supported) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S compressed (dual band wifi supported) and these devices cannot see or connect to the network of 5 GHz of Base Station. I also have a Cisco router that has a dual-band support and all my devices can see and connect to the network of 5 GHz of this router.  So I wonder why I have this problem with time capsule?

  I have reset my base twice station and it is a new device purchased last month.

  Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

  Did you use the SMB compatible names for everything...?

  That is to say the alphanumeric short, without spaces and Pure...

  for example base station name... TCgen5

  name TCwifi wireless

  Have you also used the password corresponding to these requirements... but can be between 8 and 20 characters.

  If so, then you must give a different name to 5 GHz and delete the password and test... If it's not yet connect the test manually on channels 36, 44, and 149 for example if you are in the USA...

• How can I report a bug to Adobe? (Illustrator crashing Mac when recording to Apple's Time Capsule)

  Hello. I know it's a bug because it affects a large number of users. Basically when you save an Illustrator file (and occasionally a psd) back to an Apple Time Capsule the program freezes. Trying to force out Finder crash too then a hard reboot is required.

  There is a thread on the forum from Apple here: https://discussions.Apple.com/message/17761304?ac_cid=142432#17761304

  However, person or Apple, or Adobe does nothing to solve the problem, so I just want to know how to report this kind of thing to Adobe? I don't have a service plan (and don't think that I should a need either to report this kind of thing).

  Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you very much.

• Time Capsule freezes when I'm downloading a large file!

  Hello everyone!

  I have a very unpleasant problem with my Apple Time Capsule 2 TB 5th generation.

  I have 2 Iphones, AppleTV and 2 Macs in my wifi network, everything works great! But when I download a large file with an Internet torrent falls after 10-15 minutes... a green LED shine on the Time Capsule, Airport utility tells that is connected to the internet, but not of my devices has the internet connection. It lasts 15 to 20 minutes and internet recovers by itself. Nothing really helps with this, I tried to restart, change the settings, but nothing helped.

  WITNESS, no errors, once again, green is connected to the internet but no internet.

  My cable modem works, if I connect my appleTV to the modem cable through the cable, it will be the connection. At the same time, if I connect my appleTV to the Capsule of time via the cable when it is frozen, appleTV won't have any connection.

  The same story if I download to the hard drive of my Mac or time Capsule.

  I have an idea that Time Capsule is overheating, but again, I don't see no error.

  I'd appreciate any help!

  Torrents can overwhelm the NAT to a router table.

  In the torrent client reduce the speed and the number of seeds.

  Which modem cable do you have?

  Looks like it's a gateway device not a pure modem so the TC may be in evil mode?

  Also, who is your ISP?

  If they are moved to IPv6 which can also introduce issues.

  You just set up the new TC and plug the old TC... copy the sparsebundle existing old TC to the new... but we do not recommend to do this.

  It's much better to start a new backup TM on the new TC and keep the old one for several months until you have a fair story and if you need never old file the chances you decreases considerably with time.

• Time capsule failing set up airport

  Hello

  I have property in Spain with the following equipment;

  MacBook Pro 2013

  Apple Time Capsule 2 TB airport

  Fibre optic ISP Jazztel/Orange 50 MB cable

  Jazztel DSL cable modem

  ZTE router provided Jazztel, model ZXHN H218N

  Unfortunately, the installer for this combination of equipment seems to be no standard so the "easy installation" is simply not the case for me. I would use the Apple Airport as the main, if possible with the backup router wireless hard disk on the airport, but I'd settle for airport use to extend the existing wireless network and save to the hard drive from the airport to the existing wireless network.

  (1) someone step by step installation instructions please?

  (2) is there a way completely reset the unit to the airport and start over?

  (3) if the airport is incompatible with this network, is there away from backup directly to the airport of HARD drive?

  Thank you very much

  Chris.

• Change of name affects NetBios of Mac Time Capsule?

  Hi all

  I noticed that my netbios name is the one I always used with '-2' after him, I don't know why and can't remember if I chose that, but I basically changed it back to what it was without the extra part. However I've done backups to my Apple Time Capsule with the "nom_netbios-2". Now that I've renamed "nom_netbios", is that going to affect my Time Capsule? Sorry for the question but I'm quite new with Time Capsule. Thank you!

  Check if you have backups for two Macs with similar names, rather than backups for a Mac as follows:

  Open any window in the Finder on your Mac

  Look for Time Capsule icon under the title shared on the left side of the window

  Click the Time Capsule and a folder called 'Data' (unless you have changed the name of the Time Capsule disk) appears in the box on the right

  Double click on data to open the player. You may be asked the peripheral or the administrator Time Capsule password if you have not done this before

  Now look to see if there is a file "sparsebundle" for your Mac, or there are two

  Ideally, you do not want to only see one file with the normal name of your Mac

  Report on the results

• Time capsule starts only after the last update

  My Time Capsule (A1409, 2 TB) is do not restart after having applied the most recent update. Has worked for years in my small locker in the basement connected to my local network. Fan seems to be working (vibrations of feeling) which connection to the power source, but the LED shows NO color. HW-Reset either doesn't help not. Probably from power supply? As the machine is not under warranty, what are my options (all) to retrieve the data on it?

  Other options apart from opening and get the HD out and connect it to a USB box to retrieve the data?

  What is the best way to transfer the existing backups to a new capsule so that (ideally) my 4 existing Mac can pickup their backup where they went before?

  Thanks for any input / advice / tips.

  Bonus question: any practice of best approaches on the Capsule of backup for the future (for example via a connected USB drive)?

  I intend to buy a new (although my NAS (QNAP) would support Time Machine backups, I don't plan to use it, not even for a double-backup-strategy).

  Probably from power supply?

  Vibration isn't the hard drive running... the fan... feeding is very well... the jury has no... was triggered by the update of the firmware, it would have happened soon anyway.

  What are my options (all) to retrieve the data on it?

  You MUST open the TC... There is no way to access the data except in order to open it... However, you can repair the TC using this method.

  It sounds gross... but has a long history in the world of Apple as a faulty weld is not a new problem.

  What is the best way to transfer the existing backups to a new capsule so that (ideally) my 4 existing Mac can pickup their backup where they went before?

  We recommend that you do NOT. It is often not successful and it is better to keep an archive on a USB drive for a few months and once you have a decent amount of history to put the USB back to other uses.

  You can copy the sparsebundle to each computer... Apple has a set of instructions--small as usual.

  Any practice of best approaches on the Capsule of backup for the future (for example via a connected USB drive)?

  A TC has only a function of archive built in. Whenever you press on archive it backs up the entire TC on USB... not possible for incremental backup.

  You can work around this by using Carbon Copy Cloner... which can save almost anything to almost anywhere... However, it is extremely slow more wireless when the backup drive is plugged into the USB TC rather than on the computer... To copy all packages to TC on computer... computer to TC... TC on the USB drive.

  On ethernet, it is full duplex and should work ok... but it is always faster to plug the drive into the Mac and so you travel go simple package.

  I intend to buy a new (although my NAS (QNAP) would support Time Machine backups, I don't plan to use it, not even for a double-backup-strategy).

  I would certainly use the QNAP but with Carbon Copy Cloner rather than Time Machine. It is much more reliable and flexible... Although it lacks the possibility of several version of TM.

  A dual strategy of backup using TM and CCC is well worth... make clones bootable from all your computers on USB auto powered 2.5 "drives suitable size for each computer.
