My iMac will not backup on Airport utility accomplish

I have an Airport extreme and my Mac will not perform the back-up. It just says: waiting to finish the first backup.

Please can you advise what to do. I tried turning standard works and also reset the Airport base station.

Thank you!

Do you mean a Time Capsule? AirPort Extreme is not a hard drive.

  • 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

  • 2nd airport Extreme not found in Airport utility

    I recently replaced an Airport Extreme 6 years with a new one. The former we worked, but the range of its signal seems to have declined, so we replaced.

    Now the news is up and running without problem. And I would take the old and use it to extend our network. We already have an Airport Express Terminal to expand the network, so this would add another node.

    I moved to its new location and plugged the power cord. It shows the yellow flashing light. However, the old Airport Extreme does not appear in Airport utility. Screenshot attached. There is nothing in the section other devices Wi - Fi.

    ZeroOne_nomap-2 is my new base station. AirPort Express of Sunny was already part of the network. The old base station does not appear.

    Any ideas?

    You must reset the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme back to default settings, before it can be put in place to expand the network.

    Temporarily, to locate the 2nd Gen airport near the new AirPort Extreme

    Turn on the 2nd Gen airport a few minutes

    Then hold down the reset button on the back of the airport for 5 to 6 seconds then release

    Allow a minute for the airport restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Now click the WiFi icon at the top of your Mac.

    Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

    Click on AirPort Extreme, just below this list

    Who will get the "Wizard" configuration running. It will take a few seconds to display a screen that looks like this, except that you can see your devices and the network name.

    Type a name you want to call the 2nd Gen airport

    Click next

    The wizard will set up everything for you. When you see an installation message, click done

    Now, turn off the power and pass the 2nd Gen to its new location where it can receive a strong signal from the AiPort Extreme 'hand' and turn on the 2nd Gen airport

    I just upgraded to a pace 5268AC router and can connect is more to my Airport base station. The base station does not appear in Airport utility. Any suggestions?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router to which the airport links... or... change your Internet connection process, the airport must be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new device.

    Your message did not mention if you did that, but if not... to perform a Hard Reset on the router of the airport would be the first thing to do, to follow in setting up the airport once again, just as you would if the airport was new and connection to your modem/router for the first time.

  • My Airport express continue flashing Amber after several resets. AirPort Extreme base works fine. Express does not appear in airport utility.

    My Airport express continue to Flash Amber, and do not appear in airport utility after several resets according to manual. My base station is plugged in and working correctly and the display in the airport utility. At the express need of repair?

    What exact model of the AirPort Express you have? How long have you had?

    I have an AirPort Express 802.11n (I just got 1st generation) who does not appear in Airport utility?

    The Express flashes an orange light.

    I tried to reset to factory by using a paperclip for a little more than 10 seconds (green LED flashes).

    The Express flashes a light - orange after the reboot - that seems normal to me.

    I use an iPad or MacBook Pro (without port cat 5) set up.

    I would like to extend my WiFi network and stream of music with it.

    Read the manual and did some research but I'm stuck.

    Thank you for taking the time to help...

    NOTE: I also have a second generation version which works very well.

    Let us first make sure that you really have a 1st Gen AirPort Express. To do this, look for the model number on the side of the Express. It is difficult to see, with grey lettering on a white background, but the number starts model with an 'A' followed by four digits.

    You do not want to see A1264... not A1084 and A1088.

  • 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?

  • 2014 iMac will not recognize part of the promenade of fusion after failure bootcamp

    Hi all

    I tried to install windows 7 with boot camp. I put the disk in boot camp to be around 250 GB. When it restarts, it did not recognize the USB key and asked for a disc. I have no disc drive I did a hard stop down. This scene reproduces and I stopped again and it starts in recovery. I then deleted the bootcamp drive and tried the mac hd drive for all distribution. It froze and I restarted. I did not start so I went back into recovery and restored a backup. Disk utility does not show the 250 GB I booked for the boot camp. Only TI 777 free on 860.48. It is a Fusion of 1.12 to disc. Help, please. I know it is probably self-inflicted and I did several things wrong.

    Thank you for your time.

    1 W7 is not supported on Mac from 2015. I wouldn't recommend any other attempt.

    2. If the restoration did not erase the entire disk fusion, you restored to a Volume of CS of OSX existing, which won't change size.

    3. start Internet recovery, remove part of the SSD and HDD, if necessary and then restore them to a newly created CS LV/LVG. You use Time Machine to restore?

  • iMac will not start. From sound and sometimes Apple, but no further details. How can I get?

    Just got an iMac and it will not start up.  I can get the sound start and, sometimes, the Apple logo, but it stops there.

    Have tried to use 'command-option-P-R' together. Have you tried "D".  Tried "control C".  Are there other possibilities that I could try?

    Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    HD recovery start:

    Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Erase the drive:

    1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

    2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

    list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

    3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

    Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

    the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

    4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

    because it is three times faster than wireless.

    This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

    If this does not work then your hard drive has failed and must be replaced. Please make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store.

  • Airport extreme not recognized by airport utility

    Comcast serves intermittent internet Chronicle, which I think is part of the problem but not all that.  Their router is connected to my Time Capsule., which seems solid, but I've reconfigured several times due to my primary problem.  I bought a new wireless airport extreme (AEX) this year, model A1392 base low, but that has not helped, and in fact the question continues to worsen.  It almost ruined my Christmas day.   I use the AEX to listen to my itunes music on my stereo, as part of the network wifi househol, not a new configuration, and I have another in another room as an Extender that I speak of because it is less important, but has the same problem.  I want my music to work but the AEX continues to fall out of the network.  If I get the orange light flashes the only option I have given is to "Forget this device."  Of course, I wish that gave me the option edit and return to the network, but no.  Forget that the instrument is always bad, because Airport utility will NEVER recognize, any device I restarted many times.  If I go back to the factory settings, utility Airport will allow me to bring back the AEX in my wifi network, but comcast will then intermittent me the new AEX fell, this time with a green light fixed and Airport Utility NEVER acknowledges again.

    I don't know why it should be so difficult.  Apple isn't more fun.  My AEX should integrate easily and always in my wifi network at home.  What is the answer, please?

    What modem router do you have? Make and model please?

    What the Express installation?

    Please give me some screenshots of airport utility showing the contents page and the internet, wireless and network of the tabs.

    Since I understand what is wrong.

    Express does not and was never intended to be used as your main router. This is an auxiliary device to extend wireless, plug in the printer, airplay, etc..

    You more than probably a better router.
