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 will not extend the Airport Extreme network

    My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

    Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

    Someone has an idea of what's going on?

    Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

    My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

    You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

    If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

    Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

    Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

  • Time Capsule will not let me delete a corrupted file

    I have a Time Capsule, and a folder on the hard disk called "Temp". In this, there is a corrupted .wmv file that is grayed out and seems to be corrupted to an earlier copy. But when I try to remove it I get: "the operation cannot be performed because one or more required elements was not found (error code - 43).

    I tried this:

    • Restart in Safe Mode, did not work.
    • Disk utility will not find the time Capsule.
    • Taken from the decision-making time Capsule to force a check of the file system.
    • Tried sudo rm - rf in the terminal.
    • Reset the NVRAM.

    I still get the same error and it is not on a Time Capsule image, it is just a normal file. It does not hurt, just bugs the life outta me. Any suggestions on how to remove this file?

    There are a number of things you can try. IF you can see the file in the Finder, I would download a freeware called lock-UnMatic.  http://AlternativeTo.NET/software/lock-unmatic/?platform=Mac is the Mac version of look-a-like of FileAssassin, produced an excellent PC.  Linking the TC for your MacBook, at least temporarily, using Ethernet instead of wireless can be a good thing to do.

    Give it a try, then display your results.  Good luck.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • The song will not end before it passes to the next song

    I have the first generation iPad Pro with the latest IOS 10.0.2.  Since I've upgraded to the latest iOS, I had a problem with playing music from my playlist.  The problem is this: when I play music using the shuffle, some songs will be will not end before jumping to the next song.  If I use repetition, it seems to work ok, but will only go through the playlist once and I have to restart.  So, I prefer the shuffle.  I tried pointing out both mix and repeat (Yes, they both remain highlighted) but I have the same thing.  It began with the last updated with iOS.  Is there a setting somewhere... ?  I'm doing something wrong...?  Any help would be greatly appreciated that it becomes boring.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    I had a few problems strange playlist music apple since ios 10.

    They all seemed solved for me by disabling the library icloud music on my ios devices, turn off the music apple in the music settings, then reactivation everything and leave. Don't worry not all the playlists and albums etc will be there even when you reactivate library icloud.

    Unfortunately, it removes your music the device offline, but as long as you don't mind the download again it should hopefully sort your problems
