• Add new Mac full time Capsule (delete old backups)

  So I have an old time Capsule (mini mac in the form). It is almost full. It backs up all three machines. We just be removed and replaced with a new one.

  The new machine will have to be added, but the TC is too full.

  I'm happy to delete the backups from the machine, it has replaced, however the machine is no longer on the network and does not remove its own backups.

  I can't delete the full backup set and leave all three machines.

  How can I delete just the backups of the machine which is now out of the network? SSH? tmutil on one of the machines still present?

  You can access a backup from another machine and work with it. The answer is here: visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini, the site is is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• My verse ATT modem (non apple devices to use this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs Time Capsule use) via ethernet Uverse.) Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  My verse ATT modem ({use of devices not apple wifi of this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs use the wifi of the time Capsule) and connect to the Uverse modem via ethernet.)

  Both devices are set to the highest security and each uses separate passwords.

  Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

  Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

  If you ask if a PC can read the files on the Time Capsule, the answer is Yes, without doubt, assuming that the PC knew the password of device for the time Capsule.

• I want to use my Time Capsule as a backup via ethernet device but it interfere with the Wi - Fi

  I bought a new Time Capsule (TC) to use as a backup device Time Machine.  Then, I learned that my place of work does not allow me to create my own wifi network.  I connected to the CT with an ethernet cable and turned off the wifi using Airport utility.  Automatic backups to decide using just the cable ethernet, as expected.  However, whenever I plug the ethernet cable from the TC to my laptop (MacBook Pro under OS X 10.10.5), the laptop refuses to use the actual wifi to my work network.  It's like the ethernet connection turns off the wifi connection, even if the laptop is always connected to the wifi (according to the network in the banner at the top of the screen icon).  Unplug the cable immediately gives me access wifi again.

  Any suggestions on how to disable this "feature" where to plug the ethernet cable disables the wifi connection?  Thank you very much!

  Note that I have not connected to the LAN Time Capsule.  It is completely autonomous.

• need help to set up time capsule as a backup only

  I used Time Capsule as a router wifi and backup for several years.  The wifi didn't give me the whole House coverage so I bought the mesh network eero newly released product. I still want to use my Time Capsule for backup and, as he already has about two years of backup on this subject, I don't want to lose these backups. I created a new network for eero routers but gave the network of the same name and password as the old TC network so that all my devices would automatically connect to the new network.  That has worked well.  Is it possible to connect the time Capsule to the my wireless network so that my MacBook and MBP my wife will continue to save on the network they were?  The eero router has two Ethernet ports on the back and the two are to be used (one for the modem, the other for Sonos) so I do not have an available port to use.  Can I buy a switch if I have to, but if there is a wireless solution I would rather.

  I also have a desktop Mac that has saved on the TC and it's my main computer.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Is it possible to connect the time Capsule to the my wireless network so that my MacBook and MBP my wife will continue to save on the network they were?

  No, you cannot join the TC now network a wireless router not apple. Apple has removed this feature because he was too... too slow, unreliable and missing too many apples.

  The eero router has two Ethernet ports on the back and the two are to be used (one for the modem, the other for Sonos) so I do not have an available port to use.  Can I buy a switch if I have to, but if there is a wireless solution I would rather.

  You can run the TC between eero router and the sonos.

  Connect the wan port on TC eero and Sonos to the TC lan port. Configure the TC in Bridge mode. Disable the wireless sound. (Or you can leave the wireless on but use a different name for your eero wireless now).

  The TC will work like a switch... this side of it will work fine.

  How well the works of TC depends on the OS everything works... You can find it is actually necessary to paginate on the TC to make backups of the laptops wireless. Apple has made changes to the DNS system that broke network so that it can be impossible for computers discover the TC after a few hours after a reboot.

  Give it a try... If this does not work then you need to be more creative.

  The TC can connect through ethernet in the desktop computer. But for this, it must be configured with a different range of IP addresses for the rest of the network. Again, you can use wireless on... but the laptop will have to make backups by a different method. It gets complicated very quickly.

  Tell me what IP range using the eero router?

  I can make a few suggestions more as soon as we clear.

• 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.

• I have the network wireless with an extreme airport using my base station that dessert 4 Airport expresses. I want to replace the base station with a time capsule from apple.  Are there specific instructions other that connect the new time capsule

  I have a wired to the internet using my base station for 4 expresses the hard extreme airport.  I want to replace the base station with a time capsule.

  It is also easy to replace the existing base station and adding the name of the network and the password?

  You should be able to transfer your configuration of your current access point to new, and then you would just set up the internal drive, try to look at these articles:

• How can I configure my Time Capsule wireless for backups

  I recently changed the ADSL broadband cable. So it took to move my modem to the other side of the room where my cable connection. When I got the computer, modem, ADSL modem and the TC were a few feet from each other. However - now I have a wireless connection between my mac and the gateway Max Telstra modem and works very well. However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet. I can't the airport to recognize it as a base station and I think to be able to return to the company the automatic backups, I need to somehow get the TC identified as a base station. Would that be correct? I don't know if the yellow led indicates that the HARD drive in the unit has failed, but I begin to suspect this. Or - should I be plugging the TC on the modem and then try to have the computer to connect with the TC through the other side of the room?

  There are two ways to deal with the problem.

  However, the TC has a yellow light hard now and does not connect to the internet.

  Amber hard... which means no flashing is a very bad sign.

  Do a reset on the TC.

  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.

  Plug it into the Telstra modem and see if the front LED will turn to blinking orange.

  If it remains solid amber a failed hard drive is the most likely cause...

  Tell me what model it is... A1xxx of the base unless it is from the top.

  Another suggestion is to purchase a 2.5 "1 TB or 2 TB drive self-powered. That plug into your iMac and use it for backups... It is faster, cheaper and more reliable than the replacement of the TC.

  I'm in Melbourne... my email is available in the profile... so feel free to talk to me direct.

• How to reset the password for the system administrator for Time Capsule?

  I need to do a system restore to 2008 MacBook my wife of my 2014 Time Capsule, and I'm stuck at the system administrator password prompt. It does not accept the password to base such as revealed by the Airport utility station > base station > show passwords on my MBP, which is able to save and enter Time Machine, even if the TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password. I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

  Although TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password

  You must use the right of the user and the password in this case. NOT the password from the drive.

  I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

  Reset complete... It will not damage the backups somehow... It simply returns to the default values.

  Let me recommend to you if you want to continue using the TC in this way... (useless IMHO). Please do an export of the configuration before factory reset you.

  

  With the help of user and passwords in the TC is near useless. It only affects the side of the router...

  If you need more security using encrypted backups... but the reality is... the security more you add less useful the backup is likely to be. As you have now discovered... When you need it... you need as clear and clear as possible.

• 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.
