Can't find Time Capsule/not available

• can't see time capsule, but can use the wifi and mount

  I have a 5th Gen (A1470) Time Capsule on our network. The WAN ethernet port is connected to a router. The TC has a static IP address, Wifi is enabled (on the TC) and router mode (bridged).

  I have hard reset the Time Capsule and reconfigured as above before you perform backups on all devices.

  We have two iMacs, two MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro (2009) backup fine both via ethernet (via a router and also directly in the transport CANADA ports) and connections Wifi of TC. One of the iMac running Yosemite the rest are El Capitan.

  However, I have an iMac on the WiFi network that cannot find the TC in the Time Machine or the Airport utility preferences. However, it can join the network Wifi of TC and attach it using the Finder. I've also disabled Wifi and iMac directly connected to an ethernet port on the TC, but he can't find it in the Time Machine or the Airport utility preferences.

  I followed the instructions from LaPastenague to Re: utility Airport can't find Time Capsule. I also reset the PRAM and SMC. No luck.

  The iMac is a 2011 model.

  Just to check... what operating system is this iMac?

  You have ipv6 local link only the value... This is important.

  Make sure your network is running DHCP and DNS address is the same as the other computers.

  Make sure that the computer name is short, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters.

  No luck, it's time to do a reset of the TM.

  Pondini instructions still work.

  I would remove plist Time Machine and redo the configuration... you don't lose the current backup... you may even do this...

  A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html

  Honestly if that don't fix it... it is time to download and use Carbon Copy Cloner... because the TM became too difficult...

  Depending on what operating system you are on. TM has a version of command line... TMutils.

  I would like to confirm Apple it have not eliminated.

  I rarely use... I think that if it does not work via the installation of normal preferences... then it became time to use CCC which is what I do. Or run them both so I don't have a good backup.

• Can I use time capsule as external hard drive?

  Can I use time capsule as external hard drive so that I can access a file or a specific folder by searching for its name?

  A TC is now and for always player network... no external. So there are limits to its use.

  If you are multitasking your TC with Time Machine and then using a DMG file as a virtual drive is better than directly copy files... However sharing becomes impossible. One person at a time can open the DMG.

  See pondini. T3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

  Old but still interesting to read.

  You can certainly create a folder on the TC and copy your files on it, and then perform a search. Research is slow on wireless is so the speed of transfer of large files. With the help of ethernet is certainly encouraged to desktop computers.

  Sharing folders on the TC is also now more difficult with increasing security at El Capo and OS later. You do not create on the computer records are not available. And even the ones you create can occasionally and autonomous change permissions (since the TC controls drive not the computer), you lock your own files on... I answer these questions once a week.

  Not all software on Mac supports using network drives. The most difficult is photos that can corrupt the library due to disconnections... which are the most common wireless. Be warned backups are important and not easy to do because of the slowness of the USB port on the TC and you end up really need to another location on the network for backup on.

  Generally, I advise the people not not to use the TC for direct files... That is to say, if you edit a document, make sure that it is on a local drive... When you have finished the document, you can copy it to the network drive and delete the local version. Easy for... not so easy documents for photos with major libraries.

  A TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup impossible network drives... This means that no backup will be your files in the TC, unless you take the initiative and do it.

• Airport Time capsule not found

  My time capsule is not backup using time machine. My computer can't find it. Here is the message I get when I try to manually back up:

  The backup drive is not available. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk.

  I unplugged the capsule of time and still nothing. I have however reset my wifi last week and this is maybe the reason why I lost the connection? Do I have to reset my capsule? PS. the light on the time capsule is green so its supposed to work properly.

  Ive also tried to manually connect to my backup drive and nothing.

  Can I reset my capsule? What are the consequences of this?

  Thanks for your help.

  Turn off your Mac and your Time Capsule

  Wait a few seconds, then put back them up again and wait a few minutes

  If you open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)... appear to time Capsule?

  Time Capsule appears there under the shared position on the left side of a Finder window Panel?

  There is more to do... but these things have to work before you can move forward.

• Time Capsule: No available backup drive

  I read a bunch of wires and nothing has worked.

  I have a MB Pro El Capitan 10.11.1, 2011 old version 2 TB TC running. I just moved and now have Fios new router/modem. Formerly Comcast.

  I plugged TC AC and ethernet to Fios. Got the green light. Open Airport utility. Clicked on change. Network (came into bridge mode). reset and renamed TC (as in troubleshooting, someone said to be renamed TC with new installation).

  I tried to make a Time Machine backup and get the message "backup drive is not available. I restarted. Nothing seems to work.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much

  We do not know this as you've read, or have tried, but if you have not already changed the settings in Time Machine preferences to indicate your Mac how to locate your Time Capsule on your 'new' network... now would be a good time to do that.

  Reason... If you have not done this... your Mac is still to try to locate the time Capsule using the path on your 'old' network... and your Time Capsule is now on another network 'new '. The Mac will never find that she can come back until he knows how to locate the Capsule of time on your network.

  Did you do that?  After the back if you are not sure.

• Full Time capsule not deleting files

  I have my MacPro & iMac saved to Time Machine. It works very well to find a lost file.

  BUT, when HD 2 TB recently completed, he ceased to backup and I had to wipe the HD & start over.

  I thought that Time Machine would sequentially remove oldest files, once that it filled to the top.

  I have check the disk (Option - Menu TM) & it checked OK

  Is there a setting that I missed?

  Thanks for the tips!

  ... John

  Time Machine has no problem deleting old incremental files to make room for the new files in incremental backups.  The keyword here is 'extra', which are small files that take up very little space.

  But... and this is a big BUT... If the Time Capsule disk is full, and you try to save a large amount of data that normal... What can happen if you have recently updated the operating system on your Mac, or added large files from media or other types of files for the beams of Mac... then Time Machine, because it can not remove enough files to make room for the new more normal backup.

  In this case, you have a few options:

  (1) add an another Time Capsule and start new backups to go

  (2) add a USB key to the current time Capsule and start new backups to go

  (3) clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups

  If you don't mind clear on the Time Capsule backup history and start all over again, it is of course the most economical way to continue. If you want to keep your old backups intact, then go with option 1 or 2.

• Time Capsule not recognized after the replaced logic board.

  Time capsule is not recognized

  I too am in the same "boat" as 'bruf' and 'Pitbullover' my Mac Book Pro had a card failure logic as well as graphics - warranty - replaced but now the MBP does not recognize Time Capsule.  Directly linked to the time via an adapter for MBP port capsule.  It was working OK before the Mac went to repair.

  I followed the great suggestions of LaPastenague (thanks for all the time and expertise you provide other users of Apple).  Tried the factory reset button, but no result. (By the way there is always a flashing amber light on the TC - is this usual?)

  Checked the Finder - showed the distance disc - but no mention of a time Capsule.

  The TC is never used as a return to the top.  I gave up trying to use it as a router, so there may be some vestige of the conflict still in the installation somewhere.

  I will follow this thread with interest in the hope that the wonderful 'gurus' out there can suggest a solution.

  With satisfaction!

  The TC is never used as a return to the top.  I gave up trying to use it as a router, so there may be some vestige of the conflict still in the installation somewhere.

  Even if it is not used as a router, it is usually easier to him have plugged into your router main and fulfilled.

  What model is the TC?

  This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  the time Capsule.  Directly linked to the time via an adapter for MBP port capsule.

  Exact details... which adapter... has this crush on ethernet?

  Or Ethernet USB...?

  It could also be a USB wireless... but probably not.

  Have you tried the manual configuration method?

• 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.

• Time capsule not recognized in the utility of the AP

  I have two time capsules air port on the home network. As of today, both work well, with green lights, but neither are appearing in airport utility. It is said: "device not found..." Formerly part of the network. Check it again in the range, turned on >... It is powered from the etc"with green lights on both... My last backup to the iMac, a. 17:40 Eastern, 11/08/16 So I think that what ever happen, happened at this time. 1 APTC is 2 TB, the other 3 TB. CT 3 is about 9 months old and the year of the old era. Any ideas? /

  It is usually the simple problem of DNS.

  Put the whole network and all customers.

  Begin again in the right order.

  Modem,

  With a gap of 2 minutes between each device which is dependent on the other.

  No chance we will need you to learn about what the connections are and what is the brand and model of the modem.

• Can I use Time Capsule as a router to connect wirelessly with a pc

  I can all my products easily connect to the internet using Airport Time Capsule? I know I can save wireless my Apple products, but can I also backup my computers portable windows on the Time Capsule via a cable?

  Yes, but windows esp... 10 windows can be uncooperative.

  Also I do not know at all the recovery will be easy depending on what backup software you plan on using.

  Don't forget the world of Windows that the TC still looks like NT Server with FAT32 drives and all the inherent problem that there are.

• How can I configure Time Capsule 3 to and Motorola NVG589 to access the Time Capsule backup drive?

  I have ATT Uverse service and am ok with the performance of the WiFi of the NVG589. I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network and be able to access the drive for backups Time Machine. I think I am following the steps in Airport utility, but once installation is complete I can find is no longer the time Capsule.

  I want to configure my Time Capsule 3 to extend the network

  The time Capsule cannot "extend" the network Uverse using a wireless connection, if that's maybe what you're trying to do. The time Capsule can only wireless "extend" the signal of another router from Apple.

  The Capsule can be configured to extend the network to Uverse if it is connected permanently... anytime... to the Uverse router using a connection through wired Ethernet cable.

  Please specify on what you're trying to accomplish, so that we can provide the correct steps.

• Can I CONNECT TIME CAPSULE to COMCAST without wireless/WiFi?

  Hello

  ...

  I know I'm out of my League here... But...

  I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

  There must be several options, but I'm limited inskill!

  Thank you

  Richard

  I have a new Mac Pro... and I also connected to a router (modem) comcast wireless... I bought a time capsule from the airport. Are they compatible? Should I have them both?

  When you say that comcast I presume it is the router modem cable or fiber (DSL)?

  Anyway your TC is compatible...

  You need both... TC has no modem... If you must continue to run the Comcast modem and I would recommend that you do not touch... let it run like it's...

  Connect the WAN port on the TC in the Comcast router LAN port...

  Just to be clear, the answer to your title is no. a very solid no deeply upsetting. You cannot connect TC to Comcast wifi... you need to connect by ethernet... This is the one and only way... and you cannot disconnect the ethernet after connection... it should stay like this...

  If there is a problem, there are solutions... As adapters EOP or a second terminal airport. Tell us if you want this specific info.

  Open the airport on your Mac utility (or use iOS version is often more reliable) and configure the TC... It is almost entirely automatic... but if you are unsure, we can help you...

  You start the installation wizard by clicking on other WiFi devices (1) in the upper left corner.

  

  The installation wizard will cost essentially through the configuration.

  To do Time Machine backup make sure that you connect to the TC wireless not comcast gateway.

  There are other things... start with that and let us know how you go.

• BlackBerry smartphones can't pass purchased apps "not available to download from BB App World"

  Well, I just don't get this one.  This problem has been irritates me for some time... the upgrade to App World V2 makes no difference.

  I have an opinion on App World that a couple of my purchased apps are available updates.  I connect with my BB ID and access the App World page and click on the upgrade link.  App World tells me that the application already exists, I want to replace version 1 with version 1.1.  I hit 'yes '.  The bar and download activity starts... and a second later he tells me "[the app] is not available for download from Blackberry App World."

  What happens on two of my apps.  I can download free applications and install them correct, but for some reason, the updates fail as described.  I tried to delete an application and reinstall it from scratch, but that failed too with the same error message.  The apps most definitely those there _are_ on App World...

  Oh, and Yes, I did a battery [often] pull closed and open App World [also several times] as well as removing and reinstalling the App World [V1 and V2].  This behavior has persisted also leave before my last OS update.

  I would of course appreciate all solutions...

  Good... thanks to a tip I had on another forum, I created a new BlackBerry ID with my old password and e-mail address, as my old PayPal information.

  After doing that I could download my app to the point dead and all updates seems to be well... my license and registration of data carried over the new code.

  I don't know if this will fix the other problems, but it seems to have worked for this problem... it's another avenue to try before making a lot of their removal and in all cases.

• How can I find the Menu of available channels

  Although having APT4 for a few months, I have finally connected. But although I got once on my PC, I can't find the LIST of all available TV channels? Where is he?
