• Problems of compatibility with Time Capsule

  I have a Time Capsule, which seems to be only compatible with Snow Leopard.  My software is OS X 10.9.5 (13F1603). Live in glue, I would back up my MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule as the internet is slow, but it seems that if they are not compatible with each other.  Any ideas as to what I can do?

  A time Capsule will work with any Mac operating system.

  You are right that the BONES later has more good problems.

  Here's my standard set of instructions to work things out.

  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.

• Questions of Time Capsule, I have to rename my sparsebundle?

  I recently started having problems with my Airport with Time Capsule, and after doing a bunch of other updates of my system, I wonder if the name of my sparsebundle could ask questions.  A bit of history behind what I have made, please bear with me while I explain all of this.

  I bought my Airport with Time Capsule in November 2014 and it had worked well until February of this year.  We have changed our internet service provider, and the day that we did this, I had to unplugging everything on my desk to reorganize things.  I plugged everything in, my wifi was working fine, and I never had a problem with my Time Capsule, so I don't even think to check it out.  But then I got an alert one day say that my machine has not been saved in 12 days.  I tried to do a backup at this time, but it got stuck in the phase of "Looking for backup drive.  By trial and error, I found if I power cycle my Airport, I can get to find the reader and to make the backup, but it seems to be a temporary solution.  After a day or two or sometimes later that day after that the computer was put to sleep and woke up to the top, he would come back in the phase of 'Search'... ».

  I did some research online, but most of the post I found is from 2008, 2012, etc., which concerned me the info might be exceeded.  At this point, I prefer not to erase my Time Capsule and start over, so I'll try different things to see if I can solve the problem before having the extreme path again.  I ran the utility disk on the sparsebundle several times. The first time that I ran it on the iMac, there was an error, but the second time I ran it, all seemed well.  And I get this error when I backup my iMac and my MacBookPro. Both are set to save in the same time Capsule and it seems to be a problem with real time Capsule machines.

  I've done a lot of research and one of the things I found was that it might be my computer name causing some problems.  My computers have been appointed 'IMac of Lauriena' and ' Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro"(do not put my name in the post, but it's the same number of characters).  I've read since they have spaces and even the quotes could be causing the issues, so I changed the name of the two computers. I have them shortened to "Reenas_iMac" and "Reenas_MacBookPro" (although now I'm wondering if I should get rid of both the underscore character).  I also renamed "Lauriena airport Time Capsule" Time Capsule to "ReenasAirPortTimeCapsule".  After that I renamed the time Capsule, I made sure to enter Time Machine and reselect the drive to use for the backup, because he was looking for that on "Time Capsule of Lauriena airport.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.  I wanted to do, since my name sparsebundle imitated my computer before names, which means there are spaces and apostrophes in names.  But to my surprise, the name has not changed. Backups lasted longer than I expected based on what I had read, but the names have remained the same.

  Until today, even with put the computer to sleep all night, the automatic backups seem to work, but I fear the name of the sparsebundle can turn against me. At this point, I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.  Especially because I get nervous at the idea of not having a backup, even if it's just for a short period of time. If it turns out that I have to do this, I'll do it, but I wanted to see if I had other options.

  So my main question becomes, would the name of my sparsebundle potentially ask questions, and if so, is there a way to change this without remove it and start again?  If it helps, I use an iMac Mid and a MacBookPro 2011 Early 2011, both El Capitan 10.11.2 running. Currently, my sparsebundle names "Of Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" and "Lauriena iMac.sparsebundle".

  I'm not loving the idea of change the sparsebundle names...

  I welcome your change of name... I think that this translates into better reliability of network... but the fact is Time Machine is a little tricky beastie and unfortunately to know when it's messed up is often to the point that you want to use.

  My recommend is exactly what you don't want to.

  I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.

  Because of mutual exclusivity to avoid future problems... and starting over. Your desire is to have your cake and eat it, but one or the other will give way.

  If you want to keep your existing backups... make an archive of airport utility to a correctly formatted disk. Just keep it 3-6 months to accumulate enough history you probably never need.

  Then do a quick erase of the TC and start over. Backups can be done much faster using ethernet... one at a time... and there is no time you will be missing a backup.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.

  Just to explain this... The first part is just... a backup should take a long time because it checks the files...

  The second part is not correct... TM cannot change the name of the sparsebundle to match the name... What I expected it to do in most cases, is start a new backup. Often, it's there for that... I tested it and found that it has begun a new backup... but by design, TM does NOT use the name of the computer... It is related to the UUID of the disc.

  http://pondini.org/TM/works.html

  Read great Pondini KB if you want to better understand.

  IMHO, if it's using the existing backup... then the change of name of the computer was not relevant... and backups should go... but my confidence in TM is reduced.

  Since you seem concerned to have good backups... Let me suggest a dual approach. Keep running TM as you are... It does a good job of incremental backups.

  But download Carbon Copy clone (it of about $40 and covers multiple computers in your household). You can trial for a month to see if you really like it. Create a clone bootable on USB plugged into your computer, you need to separate those for computers... but it doesn't have to be a small disc auto powered of the same capacity as the startup disk. (or larger than files with a little space) for units 1 to are fine, unless that is your Mac has Monster drives.

  Then the trial a boot from the clone... Hold down the option key when the computer is booting and select the USB drive... and you know after a few minutes you have a completely viable functional backup. All your files will be there and everything work exactly as before... because he is a true clone.

• Problems with Time Capsule

  I have problems with our time Capsule. My husband and I have Macbook Pro (from 2012). We use a Time Capsule as our backup disk but not our wireless router (we use the router provided by our internet service provider). We have configured like this for over a year and it is usually worked fine. In the last month, we had problems with backups does not happen. Currently, computer of my husband has saved in about 2 weeks, and mine has not backed up in 2 days.

  It seems that our computers lose their link with time capsule. If I go to the finder, the shared drive appears under "shared", but if I click on it to connect I get a message that says "connection failed." Airport utility shows the time Capsule but has a yellow triangle next to it that says "device not found."

  If I unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again, it reconnects. I did this earlier this evening and was able to access the shared drive and make a return to the top. But a few hours later, this subject has disappeared again. I tried to do this same thing - unplug, get the rear connection, only to lose it again a little later. Any thoughts on what could be the problem? The Capsule was bought the same time than computers.

  I guess what surprises me is that you had no problems up to this point.

  Your computer must connect directly to the Treasury Board. Ethernet or wireless... It will break things especially in the BONES later if you do not.

  Do you have recently move you to el capo... ?? That could have triggered the problem.

  I lost the link but in apple of one document stated finally that you connect directly the computer now... because of the bad DNS in the operating system.

  If I unplug the Time Capsule and plug it in again, it reconnects. I did this earlier this evening and was able to access the shared drive and make a return to the top.

  That's why you get this nonsense. He is able to find the backup if DNS is renewed due to reset... After a few hours it is lost again.

  What operating system do you use?

  My recommendation is to put on wireless and a link to the direct of TC...

  A TC Gen4 purchased in 2012 is now at least 3 years and let me tell also your reliable stage... you are now at the stage of growing decrepitude of old people. It might work correctly for a year or two... It can suddenly die tomorrow... but more likely will fade into the sunset.

• A few days, I bought a mac mini which I transferred the data and programs with time machine: programs have been updated except for iMovie, and now it seems that I have to pay for the update: possible? What I am doing wrong?

  A few days ago, I bought a mac mini and I transferred all my data and programs with time machine: all programs have been updated but iMovie (7.1.4)... However, it seems that, to update to the latest version, I have to pay to download on Appstore: is it possible? what I am doing wrong?

  If it were a new mac mini, you need already installed 10.1 iMovie.  Otherwise, but you already have iMovie 9 registered version to your Apple ID, you can upgrade to version 10 for free, but if (as it appears) is an earlier version then you have to buy version 10.

• How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  Hello

  How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  I don't know what you're asking.

  AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

  A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

  An iMac is a Mac computer.

  An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

• 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...

• process step by step new airport express from apple with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook

  I would like a step by step process apple a new airport express with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook.

  Connect one end of the long Ethernet cable (we assume that you have already tested the cable to make sure it works correctly) one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the WAN port on the AirPort Express "O".

  

  We assume that the AirPort Express is new, is powered OFF... and has not been previously configured.

  Turning off the Time Capsule

  Wait a few seconds

  Put in the Time Capsule market and let it run a full minute

  Power of the AirPort Express and run a full minute. Currently, the indicator light of the Express slowly flashing orange

  On the MacBook, click the WiFi status menu icon and search for a list of the new AirPort access point

  Just below this list, click on AirPort Express

  

  Who will get the "Assistant" operational configuration. It will take a few seconds for the wizard to analyze the network and offer the correct setting in a display that will look like the example below, except that you can see your cameras and the name of your wireless network.

  

  In short simple name you want to call the AirPort Expressof type... .as OfficeExpress, for example

  Click Next

  Watch the next screen carefully to confirm that the AirPort Express is in place to extend using Ethernet, which confirms that the installation wizard recovers the wired between the Time Capsule and AirPort ExpressEthernet cable connection, so the settings correct configuration will apply.

  

  When you see the message Setup is complete, click done. Close the installation window, and you're done.

• Question conectivity Time Capsule with Windows 7

  Hello

  I am owner of a time Capsule A1309 with 3 TB of memory and it stopped working with my Windows PC for a while. It used to connect normally not long ago, but now the drive doesn't appear and I can't access the time with AirPort Utility Capsule unless I type the IP address. I have a lot of archives stored in the drive and cannot access it from any PC running Windows in my house.

  My Control Panel is:

  • RAM - 8 GB
  • Intel Core i5 - 2430 M 2.40 GHz
  • 64 bit
  • Windows 7 Professional

  I know that the Time Capsule works normally, because I can access it from an old iMac I have here.

  Other details: My Time Capsule is on System 7.6.7 version and I also have the last airport utility installed on my PC.

  Thanks in advance,

  Rodrigo Trindade

  For starters, you have access to the Time Capsule (TC) using the AirPort for Windows PC? The question started the TC to 7.6.7 firmware version after update?

• Can I start again with time capsule 2 TB existing using an existing iMac and a new iMac.

  Trying to understand several iMacs and Time Capsule.  Can I save a 2 iMacs on my Time Capsule?  I am running AutoCAD LT 1015 on my new iMac, so far, I've not put back up on my Time Capsule.  I'm worried it might be a problem with the existing backup tutorial AutoCAD on the Time Capsule, interfering with the new version purchased.  Therefore, I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

  I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

  Yes you can. The way simplest and quickest way to accomplish what you want is clear the Time Capsule disk and then start over again with a new backup of a Mac. Then, once it's over, make a new backup of the other Mac.

  When the two Macs have saved for the first time, then both will continue back up automatically and gradually.

• Impossible to extend the existing wi - fi with time capsule airport

  Hello

  I have one Capsule of airport TB 2 hung on an Ethernet in my study (lower level).

  I already have an existing wi - fi network to ISP modem/router to my media box provided at the top level.

  In addition, I have an Extender provided by the ISP of lower level.

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  I tried several times to do so, but either it freezes up or creates its own network despite the

  mode bridge as stated in Airport utility.

  Guide gently with the method or Protocol correct to put that in place.

  Thank you

  Jay

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  It sounds like you may try to extend the network of your "main" router wireless

  The time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network if your 'main' router is also an Apple AirPort base station.  Or... in other words if your 'main' router is not an Apple product, then the time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network.

  So, the first question to ask here would be... What is the number of brand and model of your router "main"?

  If you intend to leave the time Capsule connected to your main router with an Ethernet connection, the Capsule must have the maximum value of "create a wireless network.  If you use the same wireless network name and password using your 'main' router, Time Capsule will provide additional wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
