• Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

  Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

  Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

  When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

  Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

  I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

  1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

  2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

  Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

  Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

  3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

  4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

• Parameter problem to the airport Time Capsule

  Already, we currently have a WiFi system with a NetGear router and a modem from Time Warner.

  I just want to use the airport Time Capsule to back up my Mac.  My husband has a PC.  I followed the instructions but the airport still comes up in the utility.

  Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and the latest 802.11 ac 3 TB so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I plug an Ethernet cable at the airport, then in the Modem - nothing after I plug the power - Amber flashing light.  I have changed ports unplugged and plugged back in French - restart the Modem.  Nothing works.  I bought it so it would work straight out of the box - so far, I have spent a lot of time trying to understand it.

  Any help would be so appreciated!

• How to free up disk space on the airport time capsule?

  I want to add a new macbook to my time capsule 2 TB airport but I get the error message "needs space". Is there a way to free up space without erasing the whole time capsule?

  Only by deleting the files in the backup itself. If you use Time Machine, then you'd that uses the Time Machine application. It would be much easier to erase the drive in the time Capsule.

• Failure of the airport Time Capsule?

  I have a Time Capsule from Apple Airport – 2 TB (ME177LL/A). Today, I was unable to access the drive in the finder for the first time. The airport icon does not appear in airport utility. More than a month, no real change in my machine, no new installed apps, I've upgraded to El Capitan. I did some research on Google and found the only real option for me (after a power power off to the airport and my machine) is to reset the router to factory settings which I seem to have done. In addition to killing the wifi (which was still working before reboot), the Airport now appears under the button "other Wi - Fi devices (1). But whenever I select which and it attempts to connect (so I can probably do a manual installation) it fails and merely says that an unexpected error has occurred. I don't know if I lost all my files on the disk, since this seems to be a failure any which allows to treat the router itself. He was still working as a bridge providing internet and Wi - Fi before the reset, now it only provides internet for everything that it is hooked up via ethernet.

  I had some of my gripes with this product over the years, but the lack of diagnostic information is now slightly irritating. Is there something else for me to do a short delivery to another zero?

  First of all... no files will be lost on the hard drive... for this, TC would fail to start or have a disk failure error...

  Your questions are totally El Capo... and pretty typical.

  Why should he choose now occur instead of a month ago... done installing part of the pleasure of the wireless network adapter... It's frightfully little reliable.

  I want you to do it again... Yes I know.. Sorry...

  Disconnect the TC of the network and plug in ethernet on the computer... However leave the radio on... Apple depends on increasingly less reliable network strategy.

  Do a complete factory reset.

  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.

  N.b.: any of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted... This erases just the settings of the router of the TC.

  Go in the wireless and ethernet on the computer and make sure you have IPv6 well positioned to post a local link only. for example...

  

  It is set to automatic might be the reason why you have problems... one day he autoed to bad settings... Auto is a plan for a disaster.

  Now, try and open the configuration of TC in airport utility... No luck... do it manually...

  Accept this self... is always a bad idea... so here go us.

  1. click on file and set up the other.

  

  2. Enter the IP... always 10.0.1.1 after a reset. No password necessary yet.

  

  3. now you can see all parts of the installation... you will go to each tab to make configuration.

  

  4. in the first place is the Base Station... and change the name... in short, no spaces and highly recommended pure alphanumeric characters.

  Ditto for passwords. Internet will be DHCP for most people having nothing else... then wireless

  

  Then the network... Choose what you want yourself... you are now in control.

  For most people, they will be set to DHCP and NAT or Off (Bridge Mode)

  

  5. Once you have finished making changes... update allows to configure them for the TC... and wait until it restarts...

  If all is good it will come back on the main use.

  

  If it still errors just click on TC icon and go back into the setup and fix anything there.

  Any step fails to tell me that that...

  You may need to switch to ethernet, if you have any problems, if.

  In airport utility now ethernet is under other devices Wi - Fi... that makes no sense at all. Ethernet will only appear when it is connected and working.

  

• Connect the airport time capsule to telstra NBN

  Grateful for the help with the required parameters to set up my time capsule airport with Telstra NBN via Telstra condition max modem router gateway, I want to use the TC as my router and for backups, I understand that I need to be able to use the TC as a router and connect the TC via an ethernet cable to the gateway I need to put the door in Bridge mode, thanks in advance

• Why the airport Time Capsule for P/W after update to 7.7.7

  Time Capsule ask P/W when I click on it in the Airport utility to see whats connected to it, but never recognizes the P/W or back with the icon to forget.

  He returns to normal after a disconnect and a return to the restart card. This happens since the latest firmware update to 7.7.7.

  Once the Capsule is back to normal and you can access the settings in AirPort Utility, my suggestion would be to delete the current password on the Base Station and add a new password. It worked for me with the same question, and it might for you as well.

  Make sure you remember the password in the keychain in your Mac is checked, and then click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the new settings.

• Airport Time Capsule ethernet and WiFi installation

  I am trying to set up my home network, but also, somehow, the practice run for the configuration of my future business...

  Here is the component.

  -Modem: Fast 5250 BELL FIBE Home Hub 2000.

  -Airport Time Capsule 1 t (a big)

  -AirPort Extreme (large)

  -AirPort Express (size of the Apple TV)

  Here are the different coverage area and device usually used in the:

  -office: Printer via USB or ethernet, ethernet MacPro, 2xMacBookAir.

  -Living room: Smart TV, Apple TV2, PS4 (all via ethernet if possible) as well as a bunch of iOS devices and laptop computer via a Wi - Fi connection

  -In room: IOS, Apple TV via Wi - Fi device.

  So good, here's the catch, the modem's in the entry closet surrounded by concrete, so I close the Wi - Fi on it. Cable Ethernet running from there, at the office, upstairs room and the main living area. The plan was to put the TimeCapsule 1 t in the office, extreme in the living room and express on the floor. But I already have problems that they can't be all connect via Ethernet in the modem... Oh! What a mess, he made... So I saw on the support page from apple, is it better to put the airport Time capsule 1 t as principal to create the network. So if I put the Capsule in the closet as the main will be backup my stuff via ethernet?

  Also, I have the older version of Time Capsule (dish 500 GB). Shud I use it as the main airport will be connected to it via ethernet anyway?

  And finally, I connect to the modem using PPPoE bell hand and another airport the main via Bridge DHCP mode. Is this fair?

  Probably all covered already in other posts sorry if it is redundant. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

• Files of WD My Cloud Airport time capsule

  I use 2T WD My Cloud as a hard disk to backup to my MacBook Pro 13 "2.5 GHz Core i5. How can I do all of my WD My Cloud backup files, transfer to the airport time Capsule. So did anyone get an answer to this question?

  Copy and paste the sparsebundle Time Machine.

  But we do not recommend usually people do. It is much better to just start a new backup for the TC and the old backup on the WD mycloud until you build up a sufficient history... say 3 months on the TC... then you can wipe.

• Airport Time Capsule HD access

  I have an AC of 802.11 airport Time Capsule 3 to, PartNumber: ME182LL/A, and I want to save my MacBook Air by Time Capsule app.

  In addition, I use it as an external hard drive, moving some files to the airport Time Capsule using the Finder.

  I use physical conection from my MacBook to the trough of Time Capsule a RJ45-USB converter.

  But I am extremelly experiencing a lot of time to access my files using the Finder.

  Do you have an idea how I can fix this connection?

  Do you have an idea how I can fix this connection?

  I guess that your Mac has a Thunderbolt port.

  Use a Thunderbolt for the Ethernet card.  It's up to 10 times faster than the USB adapter. Your actual speed will be 4 to 5 times faster than USB.

• Airport Time Capsule 3 TB from

  Hi I want to buy airport Time Capsule 3 TB of storage and to share my video, music, another document to my mac, iPhone and the other device that we have in our House, so I can do this and make my films and another doc who are on the airport time capsule or it is just to give the backup?

  TNX

  What you ask is known as a media server.

  The Capsule is not a server media... it is a router with a built-in hard drive designed to back up the data on your Mac. Consider a Time Capsule for this effect, but not others.

• Create wireless network with airport Time Capsule

  I replace my ISP provider rented the modem / router with a modem, I bought and I would use my gen current airport Time Capsule to set up the wifi network. I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  I am running OS X Capitan 10.11.3 on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.

  Thank you!

  Dale

  I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  Hmm.  A time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so what works for one should work for the other and vice versa. You might be looking at old operating instructions?

  Since you've decided to add a new modem, Time Capsule will be reset back to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new modem.  Apple installation "wizard" will guide you in installing the time Capsule, by appointing a wireless network, set up a password, etc, so the process is very easy to name.

  The installation provided with your Time Capsule Guide goes on how to set up the time Capsule.

  After resetting the time Capsule to factory default settings, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

  To get the "Assistant" Setup running, just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for the new AirPort base station. Just below that, click directly on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme, but you would see on your screen time Capsule.

  

  When you click on the Time Capsule, the next screen that is displayed looks like this, except that you will see a picture of a Capsule of time on your screen.

  

  Simply click next to get the process going and follow the instructions.

• 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.
