• Airport utility cannot find the time Capsule, but wireless is fine

  All of a sudden my TC stopped taking backups but the wireless works fine.

  Airport utility stopped recognizing the TC suddenly...

  I think it started acting weird it's because last night, I unplugged the TC of the socket directly instead of turn off... This could be the problem.

  This is what, in my view, that the solution could be:

  (1) reboot Macbook

  (2) open Airport utility

  File 3)--> set up

  (4) now he would invite, address and password: especially it would be 10.0.0.1, but you get to the option + wifi

  (5) then just tweak a setting so that the update button is highlighted...

  6) click on update & the router restarts

  (7) Viola you should now see the airport in airport utility.

  I hope this helps. I tried to put that answer in another thread, but the forum has been locked for discussion... That's why this new post

  Thank you

  It is not so rosy, as you described!

  I can write in folders on Time Capsule, I use internet, but the utility does not see the drives, printer and Time Machine is no more support for MacBook...

  The only reason for this behavior is dynamic DNS change the LAN iP addresses... after the router has been reset by the network provider.

  Any advice, please?

• Airport Extreme will not read Time Capsule trying to create network roaming

  I have read all the forums on that alone and became frustrated. I am creating a roaming network for a time at an airport extreme capsule. I followed the directions of countless times without success. Time Capsule is set to DHCP and Nat, while the extreme is in Bridge Mode and has the exact same name and password network settings. Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works. In fact, this is how I am writing this post right now! My problem is that the Airport extreme will not even read the time capsule at all. Can someone help me please? A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace? I don't know what that means. Sorry to be a pain.

  has the exact same name and password network settings.

  Just to double check that you mean the password and the name of wireless... not the base station name and password the names of base station must be different.

  Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works.

  To the limit sometimes the gradient exceeds just slower... it does not connect.

  If you check the laptop goes to the Advanced preferences network ethernet to the last tab has the speed dropped to 10Mbit? The extreme is not able to go as low automatically... and unfortunately there is no controls for the later models.

  

  What model is your extreme?

  If it's a Gen5 or an earlier version... you can use older airport utility to set the speed of the wan port. This feature is removed from models later, of course... and the AU later so does she. If you can go try it using full duplex 10mbit. If that works try 100mbit full duplex, but you might find it's too fast.

  

  A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace?

  Your friend has a good idea.

  I would have cut the cable in the middle... and put an end to both ends. Then place a switch on the line (not a router). A switch is a bit like an amplifier. It is to retransmit the signal so it can go another 100M...

  The other issue is on pairs... If you have installed this cable yourself and terminated yourself you were affecting the pairs?

  Ethernet is delicate to the wire because of its origins as the wiring phone... where the Center pair is for the phone.

  MacBook won't connect to the Internet via long cable?

  Here is a very similar problem to yours... was bad ethernet endpoints. Break the pairs at your own risk.

• Airport utility show that airport extreme has a problem, but it remains inaccessible

  My Airport extreme began to play up.  As you can see in the picture, it seems to have a problem and cannot be opened for editing.  I tried several times to do a hard reset and reinstall my setup.  It works and the network remains functional, but after a few minutes, the Base Station will appear with this warning sign.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  

  A 'solution' refers to those who have set up their base stations for Back to My Mac. If you did, how to follow recommended action is temporarily remove or disable this option, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
    • Note: You may need to use the option "configure others...". "to access the base station. Enter the IP address of the base station, the default value is: 10.0.1.1 and base station administrator password when you are prompted.
  • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
  • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

• 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.

• can I use one extreme of the airport to connect to a time capsule that is already defined as an Extender?

  I would use my Airport extreme for WiFi signal booster in my office room. I use a Time capsule as a base station and I use a second Time capsule as an Extender. Now, I want to measure my extender... I can get them both to look at my base station.

  

  That's what I have... But I would get my Airport express in series with my Time capsule, it becomes a single string.

• 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.

• How can I unforget airport Time Capsule?

  I was in the Airport utility and 'forgotten' my Time Capsule airport.  The most convenient airport seems to work very well, but I can see it is no longer in the graphical presentation.  How can I fix so that I see once more the airport?

  Try a cycle of complete nutrition of the network as follows:

  Power off all devices... modem, routers, computers, iPhones, printers, etc. in the order you want

  Wait a minute

  Start the modem and let it run alone for a few minutes

  The device connected to the modem to start and keep running a minute

  Keep the commissioning of the devices at once a minute outside until the entire network is back

  Check if the airport appears now and communicate your results.

  IF... the airport does not appear in the utility AirPort... are you still using OS X (10.7.4) on your Mac, you put in your profile, or you have updated to a more recent operating system?  If so, what system would be that?

• Restore backup after the reset Time Capsule (1st generation) using Windows PC

  I apologize if this question is somewhere already. I tried to find an answer and I've seen similar discussions but not exactly what I need.

  A bit of history... The location is a small school with about 10 cameras, its network systems, point of sale, cloud networked storage, etc. Was asked by the owner to create or activate a Guest WiFi SSID. They said he worked at the same time, but some work was done by a previous technician and they lost the WiFi of comments.

  So I used the Airport utility to access the time Capsule. However, after the change to the next level (enable the public IP sharing? maybe?), he ended up destroying the entire network, as in nothing was back upward when the utility scanned for devices. Even the Time Capsule was not recognized by the utility. I ended up doing a hard reset on the Time Capsule and do my best to manually configure the device again, even though I was not initially designed the network. I have also discovered that 1st generation Time Capsules have no comments WiFi capabilities.

  To make a long story short (too late... "I know sorry..) .. I got most of the features, functions, etc. on the network back where they were before, with the exception of camera systems and a network storage device active cloud to the owner's House.  What I would like to know is... Since then, I understand that a hard reset does NOT erase the backup or other data on the shared disk in the time Capsule... is there an easy way to restore the settings of all of the time Capsule before the problem occurred?  I would need to do this using a Windows computer.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. What I'm trying to avoid the most is having to reset all the cameras, which are upstairs, hard to reach areas. I guess that people who were previously assigned on the cameras must still be there. If only I could get the Capsule of time exactly where it was before he went down, which would allow me to save a lot of time and frustration.

  You can also (2nd choice)... If there is a simple way to detect the active network cameras and other devices on the Time Capsule and pull the IP out of them, that would be helpful as well.

  Thanks in advance for answers!

  You have my sympathy all...

  Been to this place before today... and I always get myself into it by pure stubbornness... I should just walk on some of these jobs and tell them too hard...!

  What you had to do was to export the configuration before you start playing. Without export of the configuration there is not much hope of healing to less than the previous tech saved a configuration to the unit... This example gets much delicate.

  The TC is actually able to contain several configurations... There is a good chance, however, that wipe you the.

  Anyway... coming to the serious Tin. (same version on Mac and PC utility should work the same).

  Here's my TC who foolishly a reset.

  

  When I do something... first manual configuration, I wonder is to revert to the previous version.

  

  You have done or could you saved the previous settings as a profile... I hope that you did... in the hope...!

  IF so, you have a saved profile.

  In the area of the top menu go in manage profiles.

  

  

  Now, if you are lucky or did the job just last time... by accident... you'll have a saved profile... Just click back.

  

  If nothing is there, or it's current settings... Sorry, but you didn't know something was there... and you cannot was expected to know the trouble you would get yourself in.

  If you have changed a setting in the TC of the bridge in router mode...

  

  (enable the public IP sharing? maybe?)

  Getting back to what it was... mode bridge being the most common.

  At the bridge of the TC does control most things... and you need to return to the main router.

  If the TC kicking upward a stench to return to the bridge, reset it simply still once and then bridge will work... It would be useful to loads to remember what was the setting... just to see the bridge takes the TC of the equation to know where the cameras are.

  If the cameras are on static IP, they will respond to a ping scanner... If the primary router is configured for a standard range of IP addresses... 192.168.1.xxx some.

  Then the TC in bridge must have also taken an ip address in this range and the cameras (Ethernet or wireless)?

  I hope that ethernet, but if they were using the TC as a wireless access point, unless you know exactly the SSID wireless as it was in the past then you do not have this info...

  Look at any computer, they have in the building that was running wireless and watch all the SSID that they use... one of these is likely the TC and you can restore this name.

  Or drop a camera... and ethernet allows to connect to him... and find the ssid, that it's been fixed... redefine the TC on this name (SSID) wireless security... all cameras must be able to connect to it... and you can then restore the entire system by connecting to the IP address that will be displayed in the list on the main router.

  Good luck.. as says Han Solo... you'll need!

• How to change network name on Time Capsule

  Hello

  I want to change the name of the network on my Time Capsule, to match that of my home, all other routers network so I can use it as an access point more easily.

  How should I do it under OSX?

  Thank you.

  Open Airport utility, click on the Time Capsule icon, then click on modify in the window pop up.  Then go to the wireless tab, network name can be changed here.

• I have my time capsule for base station; How do I set up just for Time Machine?

  For several years, I have used Time Capsule as a wireless base station more backup Time Machine. I back up a Macbook Air (single user) and iMac with 2 users (two computers running on OS X 11.5). With Comcast Xfinity I need is more like a base station. In fact, I reset my router Xfinity name and password to replicate what was the name and the password to my Time Capsule network. But, now that it's done I can't understand of set up time capsule without set it up as a base station. The installation guide seems to suggest that I could do so by plugging the ethernet cable from the modem to an ethernet port which is not the WAN port. But this configuration did not work. The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

  The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

  Simply turn off the time Capsule wireless.

  To do... Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, then click on modify in the window that appears

  Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the next window

  Change the setting for the Mode of network on 'Off '.

  Click Update to save the changes

  

  But... and this is a big BUT... This work of pourrait ... and maybe not. Even if the backup on the Comcast network seems to be working, there will be no help from Apple in case of questions or problems of backup.

  The reason is that, so that your Time Machine backups be supported officially by Apple, users must save on the Time Capsule wireless, or connect their Mac (s) directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  If you decide to try the method of failure to load, please let us know how things work after a few days.

• Time capsule - connection problem

  between my IMac and time capsule ethernet cable does not connect. Airport utility cannot find the time capsule. I tried another cable - also unsuccessful. Any suggestions to fix the problem? He had worked so well until I had to unplug from the time capsule.

  Hi midonn,

  First thing, I would recommend checking your TimeCapsule answers correctly, it might be a good idea to take a look at the option of soft reset to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201945

• Make an express airport only connect to an another AE and not the main Time Capsule.

  Hi all

  I have a Time Capsule airport and 2 Airport Express. The Capsule is far and an of the expressed airport is in the middle (call this) 1 and the other far from it, I'm calling this 2. As it is now, the 2nd Airport Express terminal connects to Time Capsule. However, it gives me much lower speed (Interruptions during the game). But if the 2nd Airport Express connects to the AE first, which is the extension of the network of transport CANADA, significantly improves the speed.

  I've tried everything. All devices are relatively new (think of the last model). I called the Apple Support, but their solution was to any wire. I asked if the 2nd AE can be configured statically, but they have quoted me their policy, which is not supported and took my info and never called back. I read the posts of the forum, but could not find any relevant information.

  Can someone tell me how I can do the 2nd AE connect only to the AE 1 (in the middle) so I can get faster speed for the game device wired to the 2nd AE? Your feedback is much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  B.

  When you try to extend using the wireless, there will be a loss of speed associated with the process.

  When the two Airport Express connect to Time Capsule, it will be more loss of speed because the 2 devices are connecting and extending.

  If the 2nd Airport Express does not connect to... Time Capsule and it connect instead to the 1st AirPort Express... then 2nd Terminal AirPort Express doesn't have to extend the network.  The 2nd Airport Express could be used for AirPlay, or to connect to a remote printer on the USB port, but it cannot 'expand' or 'repeat' in this case the signal of the wireless network.

  So you're wrong bing into thinking that the network is the extension more quickly if the 2nd Express connects to the 1st. Your network will behave at the faster speed even if you just turn off the 2nd Express.  It is not at all in any case extending the network, and you don't need.

  Here's another way to look at the same thing... using an illustration of the Apple support document for the extension of a network:

  

  IF... you can connect the 1st Terminal AirPort Express at the time using an Ethernet cable Capsule... then... the 2nd Airport Express would extend the signal from the first... but speed would be because you are trying to extend using the wireless.

  SO... connect the AirPort Express devices using Ethernet... then you will have maximum coverage at the highest speed... Since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable.
