drive time capsule is not available

The time capsule disk is not available.

Finally, he worked on 08/08/2016.

If the capsule is on a wireless network, other devices work on this network? Have you checked your settings on the screen of Airport utility? You've restarted the router?

The time Capsule is the computer wifi range? Time Capsule shows a green light?

  • Time Capsule backup not available without reboot disk

    I have the latest generation of time capsule, but my MBP cannot find the disc inside after restarting the device.  After a restart of the time Capsule the requested backup will take place without any problems, but if I ask another backup later, I again get an alert saying that the disk is not found, requiring another restart. This "solves" the problem, as the MBP can now find the disk and the backup takes place, but the whole point of Time Machine is supposed to be to provide Automatic backgroundbackups.  Any ideas?

    The problem is well known.

  • Airport Time Capsule device not found

    I have the time Capsule on the airport of the TB 3 802.11ac (bought 9/2014).  It integrates the latest version of the 7.7.7.  Just last week, I received the error device not found (.. .has been previously a part of your network... etc.).  The internet connection is always good and the component of the time capsule router still works.  When I unplug the device, it can find him but eventually will go down in a few minutes.  I also did a warm reboot, but some results.  Printer connected to the time capsule does not, nor does Time Machine back ups.

    Would be grateful of any advice on why the drive not found error continues to occur.  Thank you!

    You have Back to My Mac enabled on the Time Capsule?

    If so, turn it off for the moment in the AirPort Utility and restart the time Capsule.

  • Flash DRIVE - through works of Time Capsule, but not directly to the Mac.

    What I want to achieve:

    -Access to the USB - stick when it is connected directly to the MBA with USB cable.

    The working configuration:

    -USB-drive ("coffee") connected to Time Capsule and used as an external hard drive to save the files (like huge-any libraries).

    Does not:

    -USB-player ("coffee") is directly connected to the MBA.

    Possible cause:

    -The drive is secured by a setting that I could have done on the Time Capsule and so only time Capsule can access.

    Solved!

    Well, then shame on me, but it all seemed to give my user rights to access the drive... I thought about it while searching for the settings on the possession of the car.

  • Cannot access hard drive Time Capsule... Password not accepted

    The device ' Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation).

    Subject: Unable to connect to the HD TC

    I've reconfigured our old Time Capsule (CT) for use by my daughter dependent of the College.  What with the TC seems to work fine (IE. Internet access and WIFI configured etc...).  I reformatted the HD to start from scratch.  And last updated as indicated by the Airport utility application.  The intention is to create a new WIFI area with backup (Time Machine).

    When you set up Time Machine I stressed the internal HD of TC, and then it says "connecting to etc...".  After a few seconds, a new mold box presents itself to ' enter your password for the server (name of TC) for Time Machine can access.  I enter the HD password I had setup in Airport utility with nothing doesn't.  I checked all passwords with Airport utility "Show passwords".  Tried all the passwords, and of course which none worked.  And Yes, I even try the previous passwords even if I had changed their

    I noticed that using the Airport 6.3.5 utility running on my OS X 10.10.5 machine I can see and change the TC.  But when I use another computer running 10.11.6 is the Airport 6.3.6 utility does not see the TC?

    Thoughts and comments please?

    Next step may be reset to the factory settings, but feel something going on here...

    (1) try to reset the password for the utility disk AirPort

    (2) open TextEdit on the Mac and type the password in plain text in an editor window.  This will allow you to ensure that all the keys on the keyboard are recognized.  I've seen cases where passwords fail again and again because of a problem with a wrong key on the keyboard or a habit of typing that makes you believe that you enter the password one way, but the result is something else.  Be able to actually see that typed password allows to check that.

  • Time Capsule do not write back ups.

    I have a continuous problem with Time Capsule, writing of backups.  After having no problems for a couple of years, TC is now fails to write backup every 3-4 weeks and I found no cause or a solution to the problem.

    TC shows well in the finder, the sparsebundles are there.  Time Machine creates the sparsebundles as usual and will make backups normally for about 3 or 4 weeks.  The error message is displayed "Backup failed" and said that Time Machine is unable to write to the file.  At this time there the existing backup is lost, I have found no way to recover.   I wiped the hard drive via Airport utility, recreated the backup only to fail again in 3 to 4 weeks.

    I've set up another 3 TB HD connected to the iMac USB and have TM write backups on it without problem while the HD TC continues to fail.

    MPB worked until this week and today shows the same error.

    My setup is pretty simple.  iMac connected to TC via ethernet, MBP connected via ethernet.  iMac backup to internal 2 TB on TC's MBP backup 1 TB external connected to the USB TC.

    Apple support suggested that the problem is a bad ethernet cable.  I tried to replace the ethernet cable, no change.  Turn off ethernet using wifi, no change.

    It is not a problem of space, on both drives only half of the available space is used.

    Someone at - he speculate as to the cause and the cure.  It seems to me that the problem is related to the connectivity of TC, the ports are bad?   This is my 3rd TC in 6 years, not real happy with reliability!

    Unfortunately, the TC is probably more reliable products Apple... my opinion.

    It seems that the surface of the disc to the hard drive of TC has one or more faults that are causing backups corrupted after some time. The only good solution is to replace the hard drive inside the TC or replace the TC itself.

    If you think that the surface of the disk is OK on the TC (I don't have, based on the experience), the only other thing to try is a full erase of the TC hard drive using zero on AirPort Utility.  It will probably take 4 to 6 hours or more depending on the size of the player you have on your TC.

    If you don't want to lose the backups to other Macs, you need to copy to another drive before you delete the TC, then copy on once the operation is complete.

  • Airport Time Capsule does not completely erase

    1. I sell my Time Capsule airport.  I've referenced the article here: check, repair, or erase a disc AirPort Time Capsule - Apple Support.

    2 - I have completed each step, as shown in the article and place the drive to perform a secure erase drive with 7 assists, which was completed in a little less than 24 hours.

    3. I then checked to ensure that it has been erased and when I click on the Time Machine preferences it says that there are 2 TB 2 TB.

    4. However; He also has dates marked for the "oldest backup" and "Last backup", which I would have assumed that there is no data stored, to include my more old and more recent data backups.

    5. Furthermore, I checked to see why he had these dates and clicked "Enter Time Machine".  To my surprise, there are a number of very recent backups between now and the date of the "more old backup.

    Note:

    6. the time Machine airport has been recorded since mid-September.  It was unplugged and stored in its intact original packaging.  I took it out a week or two just to check there and have been using it without any problem - works perfectly and perform backups.

    7 - the 'oldest' backup is dated the day I put the unit in stock.  It seems that there is no other 'safeguards' existing before that date; However, when I scroll back in time Machine, there are windows that appear earlier on this date in September, but there are no dates on top of these windows and I can't access it.

    8 as mentioned, it is said that 2 TB to 2 TB is available, so for me it's contradictory?

    9 - the device is connected to the internet and my computer has access to the unit all the time he was leading the erase process.

    10. I did not attempt to restore from any of these previous dates in the case of an error, and I lost everything!

    11 - Time Capsule airport is one of the newer models (tour version) purchased, I think, fall of 2014 or 2015 spring.

    Get help to help me erase this disc completely would be very well appreciated.  Thank you.

    See you soon

    It is truly erased... It would show a loss of ability otherwise.

    4. However; He also has dates marked for the "oldest backup" and "Last backup", which I would have assumed that there is no data stored, to include my more old and more recent data backups.

    This information is stored in the local plist... you also need to reset your local time Machine.

    Time Machine can make snapshots the... so when the TC is not available it stores the files in your hard drive... This makes it confusing to people.

    11 - Time Capsule airport is one of the newer models (tour version) purchased, I think, fall of 2014 or 2015 spring.

    In the Time Machine disk tab... Make sure that it always shows full disk is available. So it should show up here at 2 TB free as in Time Machine. As long as this is the case, you're good to sell.

    Do a quick erase... and disconnect it from your network. Do not put it back. Time Machine can still detect it's available... did you do a factory reset you need to do this as well to get rid of your passwords etc.

    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.

  • Time Capsule do not connect and save

    Had some problems with my Macbook Pro had to take it to apple and they ended up replacing my hardrive as he could not.

    Since coming home ive tried to make a back up on time capsule and when I try to choose drive to back up with I get a message that says...

    "There was a problem connecting to server airport capsule.

    No idea what this means and how I can fix this please thanks in advance

    If apple has replaced the hard drive... also has recover all your files from the old hard drive?

    They did actually image the reader or they migrate user files and apps?

    You are on the same BONE as before?

    The problem is not knowing what precedes, I can't really advise correctly... I don't want you to clear your existing backup... nor do I want allows you to copy over the top of it.

    The TC must be reset to the factory... no files are lost to do... then I recommend that to start a new backup. If there is not enough space on the TC I recommend that you check the existing backup... Wipe the TC and try again. A fresh clean backup is really important... as well as to preserve the existing a fi there is everything you need him.

  • Time Capsule will not respond to Airport utility

    Here's my situation.

    I have a Time Capsule as my single wireless AP.  The led is green.  All my devices are able to access it without problem.  I can all the Time Machine backups on the internal drive.

    However...

    When I try to access the TC via the Airport on my MacBook Pro (10.10.5) utility I get the next series of notifications:

    (1) when the first attempts to access it, I get the message 'read settings on the Time Capsule XXXXX'

    (2) after a few minutes of this status, I get a yellow triangle with "Device Not Found.  XXXXX Time Capsule was previously part of your network.  Check that it is still within range of your network and it is plugged into a power outlet.  Forget this device removes this network (button) [FORGET]

    When I try to access to utility Airport on my iPad Air (9.2), I am able to access the information about the hardware, but no matter how many times I enter the password, I have no answer.

    The device is not in a convenient place for a direct ethernet access, but it is possible.  Can anyone think of a reason why I can't access via Airport utility?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you did not do a complete network feeding cycle in a while, now would be a good time to do this.

    Turn off all devices on your network..., modem, router, computers, accessories, etc... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Start the modem first and let run for 2-3 minutes

    Then begin the next device connected to the modem and let it run for a minute

    Keep a minute out one at a time until the entire network is back of boot devices

    Recheck the network and AirPort on your Mac utility

  • 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

  • Time Capsule does not remove older backups.

    Our 2 TB time capsule is full and no more deletes older backups so new back ups fail.  We have two Macs with El Capitan. What can we do for the capsule of time delete old backups?

    Unfortunately, when the proposed backup is too large, Time Machine can not delete older files to make room for new backups.

    Your options... in terms of more expensive down... are:

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

    (2) add a USB hard drive to your existing Time Capsule and start to go back up

    (3) erase the hard drive on the existing time Capsule and start backups

  • Intermittently, Time Capsule does not connect to the cable Modem

    Capsule time bought a few weeks ago.  Barely implemented.  TC does not recognize the cable modem.  These forums to get help.  Tracking the specific set of sequence with long delays between the steps and the modem and the TC.  It worked for about a month.  Now about once a day the TC works but not internet wireless or ethernet through the CT.  If I unplug the TC and let it restart and initialize internet connection returns.  During the internet cuts I have ethernet and Wi - Fi at transport CANADA, printers, and drives on the network as well as the time Capsule backup drive and your data.  If I ever lose ethernet and Wi - Fi to TB.  In addition, the modem works fine.  If I cut the TC and to the cable modem ethernet connection I have access to the internet.

    Thank you.  All were huge last time assistance.

    If it's always the same modem... a SB6141 of Arris... There have been a number of reports of trouble with this product with Apple routers. There is no mention that in your first post a month ago, because we wanted to see if a reset of the good modem would get things works well for you.  I had the same experience as with the same exact modem you have.

    The SB6141 is a good product, and the time Capsule is as well. But for some users, these two products do not work as well together. If you call people to support for modem, they show sure to like the question time Capsule. If you call Apple, they will have a different view on things. The bottom line when you go to a support group... because it of always the other guy that you are having problems.

    At this point, the only real solution would be to decide if you want to try another brand and model of modem and keep the time Capsule, or keep the modem and try another brand of router and then connect the Capsule to the router.

    In my case, I replaced the SB6141 (I tried 3 different SB6141s previously because the ISP admitted having difficulties with this modem and some routers) with a 5341J Zoom, and did not have a single falling Internet connection since I installed the Zoom for more than a year. If your Internet service provider indicates that the Zoom is a product that is compatible with their service, you might want to try this modem.

    But unfortunately, there is no assurance that the "solution" that has worked for me will be the solution that suits you. Such is the nature of the beast, when you work with products from two different suppliers.

  • Initial backup, Time Capsule will not end.

    I recently started to use my Time Capsule to back up my early 2014 MBA 13 '' again. However the initial backup will never end. The TC is not used as a Wi - Fi router; It is connected to the existing wireless network.

    When I started having this problem initially. I erased the disc TC and more fresh and Time Machine, under System Prefs, told me that the backup has been chugging along just great. Well... now, after he had all of August to reach the end of time Machine always shows me "waiting for full first backup."

    If I choose "save now" widget menu bar or if I let the system restart automatically backups TM shows Control Panel "backup x of x, XX, XX" and the second number continues to increase. The backup will never end.

    I searched the Ko of Apple and these discussion forums and not found the answer. What can I do to make this backup finish?

    TIA.

    The TC is not used as a Wi - Fi router; It is connected to the existing wireless network.

    And that's probably the problem, because Apple does not officially support backups Time Machine to TB unless you use the wireless TC, or connect the Mac directly on the TC using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

    Things can work with your existing wireless network, but it will be no help if it is not. Sometimes in situations like this, a Mac will back up OK wireless, and another Mac will have problems.

    As you try to add 'new' backups 'old' backup, Time Machine can also have issues with this, try to compare the old and new files and get confused about what to keep and do not keep. In this case, the recommended solution would be to delete older backups of the MBA and then start again and try a new backup.

    Wireless is never recommended for a first full backup. It's OK to use it, then much smaller incremental backups.

    If you try this course the existing wireless you have and still have questions, other than to try to save on the wireless TC, on the only other option to try would be to connect the MBA directly to one of the LAN port <>- on the back of the TC using an Ethernet cable.  Since you have an MBA, who does not have an Ethernet port, you can buy a bolt of lightning for the Ethernet card.  Maid in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

  • Time capsule is not displayed but the work of WIFI connection

    Hello

    I have a Time Capsule 2 giga, which is used as a WIFI router connected to my normal router via Ethernet and an Airport Extreme, main, used as extension. Until today everything worked well.

    Now, when I open the Airport utility to display the connection, it shows me that the TC and AE are not registered more (device not found). But I can still access the Wifi and internet via networks, I created, but not the backup.

    I unplugged the TC and AE, reconnected them, reset, then the connection worked.

    But now it is again.

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    Concerning

    Unfortunately, this issue is not new and has been reported a number of times since OS X Mavericks.

    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.
    • Try to access the base station using the utility file > configure other... option. Then enter the IP address of LAN - side base station (the default value is: 10.0.1.1) and password of the administrator of the base station.
    • 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:
        Note: You may temporarily connect your Mac or PC directly to the base by Ethernet station to access.
        • 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.
    • Finally, if you try to access the Airport via an Ethernet connection, make sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo frames, that is, by using a MTU of 9000 +.
