• Adding redundancy backup with time Capsules

  Are there problems associated with adding a second time Capsule to my system in order to add additional redundancy and safety of my backup options? I have a MacBook Pro and a single Capsule of 3 TB. I am looking for a non-Cloud option add extra security while maintaining the automation of the OSX TimeMachine.

  Adding a second Time Capsule works perfectly.  After that Time Machine performs a full backup of your Mac (s) on the new Time Capsule, it automatically alternates between two time Capsules backups.

  If you have the possibility of adding a USB or FireWire drive directly to your Mac, which would be a bit better set up in terms of reliability of time Machine, but probably not very convenient if you have a laptop that is moving all the time.

  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

• 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.

• How can implement you not with Tim Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  Hello

  How can implement you not with Time Capsule and AirPort their simulation on the iMac?

  I don't know what you're asking.

  AirPort Extreme is a wireless router.

  A Time Capsule airport is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive for data storage.

  An iMac is a Mac computer.

  An iMac is not a wireless router, so he is unable to perform the functions of a wireless router.

• I'm trying to restore a backup of Time Capsule, but it is bigger than my hard drive. No idea how to do it?

  I did all my backups on TIme Capsule. My hard drive crashed while I replaced it. I am now trying to restore my latest backup, but the message I get is that my backup is bigger than my hard drive. Any solution for this?

  Thank you!

  Sorry, but you will not be able to fully restore from a Time Machine backup except if your Mac has a hard drive that is big enough to cope.

  If you can not install a larger hard drive in the Mac, then your only other option would be to use the Migration Wizard on a Mac and only fly over the Documents and other data... not the Applications and other system files.

  

• 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.

• Have problems and questions with Time Capsule were addressed in any significant way. Reluctant to buy according to your comments.

  Have problems and questions with Time Capsule was dealt with in a meaningful way? Reluctant to buy according to your comments.

  Apple did not have any material changes to the time Capsule to nearly 3 years. The only change that has occurred in the last 18 months or so is a firmware update to address security issues.

• Cannot view or connect to the Wifi network of 5 GHz with Time Capsule from Apple 5th generation

  I have a new Apple Time Capsule 2 TB with 802.11ac network support. I have setup my base station in order to disseminate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network SSID. I have 2 apple (iPad Mini and Macbook Pro) time devices can see and connect to Terminal 5 GHz network however I have also a Lenovo Vibe P1 phone (dual band wifi supported) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S compressed (dual band wifi supported) and these devices cannot see or connect to the network of 5 GHz of Base Station. I also have a Cisco router that has a dual-band support and all my devices can see and connect to the network of 5 GHz of this router.  So I wonder why I have this problem with time capsule?

  I have reset my base twice station and it is a new device purchased last month.

  Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

  Did you use the SMB compatible names for everything...?

  That is to say the alphanumeric short, without spaces and Pure...

  for example base station name... TCgen5

  name TCwifi wireless

  Have you also used the password corresponding to these requirements... but can be between 8 and 20 characters.

  If so, then you must give a different name to 5 GHz and delete the password and test... If it's not yet connect the test manually on channels 36, 44, and 149 for example if you are in the USA...

• How often should macbook pro backup to time capsule?

  How often should macbook pro backup to time capsule?

  Time Machine has a 1 fixed time between backups... I wouldn't change it... the design of the system works better if left to default values.

• Encryption of the existing backups on Time Capsule

  I have old backups on my TC since 2009. I need them and I don't want to lose them. But I also want to encrypt and have access to all backups in Time Machine, because of private and confidential data. This procedure might work?

  • Open the Time Machine pane in system preferences.
  • Turn off time Machine then click on the button "Select Disk... ».
  • Remove your current backup disk.
  • Then, simply select the drive as your backup once more and check the option "Encrypt backups" and enter a password for the backup. Apple will now encrypt the entire disk backup - including your previous backups.
  • Finally, turn on Time Machine, and you're all set!

  http://www.mactrast.com/2013/07/how-to-public-how-to-encrypt-time-machine-backup s-with-os-x.

  Thank you!

  In theory, this will work.  In the practice, this work probably, but... and that's a very big BUT... it's going to take forever and a day to encrypt all the backups of the old man, which is something that the article forgot to mention.

  Even if you have your Mac connected to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable... it will take days and perhaps more than a week for the initial process to complete, depending on the amount of data you have on the Time Capsule.

  A lot can go wrong over the days and days of a backup, so if you decide to try this... Make sure you have at least a copy or an Archive... of all the data on the Time Capsule disk... before... .you start the encryption process.

• Time Machine does not work with Time Capsule, after update of Yosemite to iMac 2011

  My Time Capsule features all work except when trying to access files with Time Machine. It is new and can be linked to an update in Yosemite. Tried rebooting both without success.

  The old backup Time Machine may be usable via a direct opening so the sparsebundle to give it a try.

  If not, do you want to achieve... you want to migrate your files? Have you tried the migration assistant?

• Mac Mail will constantly be disconnected with Time Capsule

  It has been ongoing for more than a year: I the time Capsule AC version (bought fall 2014) and uses a Macbook (version slim retina released in March 2015.) 12 "I am constantly the mailbox in offline mode in the Mail from Mac application.  The status bar displays "Error of account" and when I click on the error box, it gives the following message:

  DRAW THE ATTENTION OF

  There may be a problem with the mail server or the network.  Check the "iCloud" account settings or try again.

  The server returned the error: connection to the server "p15 - imap.mail.me.com" on default ports has expired.

  If I temporarily turn off Wifi and turn back on right, the error messages disappear and download new messages.  Everything works fine for a few hours, and then I start to see those! exclamation points! next to my mailbox.

  Initially I thought it was a problem with the Macbook.  They did a replacement under warranty of the wifi module into the Macbook.  Still the same problem.  So yesterday, I noticed that my iMac 27 "retina is sometimes as well.  And also, it is fixed temporarily by activating / disabling wifi on and outside.

  Interestingly, my business partner, who has the same version AC Time Capsule and retina macbook 12 "even I experienced the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS in his house.  (Mailbox log in Mac app, remedied temporarily by activating / disabling wifi power).

  It's to drive us both crazy.

  Both have tried to remove the email accounts of our Macs and rebuild them.  Still the same problem.

  Is there a problem of connectivity between the time Capsule AC and some Mac computers?  I do NOT notice the problem when I'm connected to all other routers in other locations and mobile.

  If anyone has a thought on this, I would appreciate it a lot.  I am about to replace my Time Capsule with another brand of router in order to solve the problem, but all other routers are so ugly and I don't want some Darth Vader looking black thing with 8 antennas in my living room.

  I assume that you are running the latest OS to el capitan?

  The iMac is also updated for later?

  El Capo had e-mail problems... so I assume also that you have updated to the latest patch.

  Your experience with the laptop when you suggest that mobile are still correct... It is the TC at fault.

  There are known problems happening... not universal, which is a shame because then it would be imposed on Apple to fix... but it is not uncommon.

  I would recommend a reconfiguring of the TC... See the list below.

  I understand your network a little better.

  1. what modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  2. your ISP using IPv6 or spend now?

  3. is the work of TC as main router or bridge? (The answer might be inherent in the 1st quarter, but if it is a modem router I need the exact details).

  4. is the modem, also located in your living room... If you run ethernet instead of modem, a router could be installed right next to the modem... and the TC has changed to the bridge? It can work perfectly as a WAP right and for the TM backup when you remove its role in the delivery.

  Darth (breath in) Vader (exhale) Asus or Netgear router... which I suppose you don't not aesthetically... get to work extremely well.

  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.

  The installer the TC.

  And then redo the configuration of the computer with the Mavericks - Yosemite - ElCapo. (MYELCAP)

  1. the use of very short names... NO APPLE RECOMMENDED names. Without the space and pure alphanumeric characters.

  for example TCgen5 for the base station and the name of the TCwifi wireless.

  If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels like this also seems to help stop school dropouts. (I recommend you do cela.. 2.4 ghz 11, 9, 5 GHz use 36 or 149)

  2. use all passwords also consistent with 1. but maybe a little longer. IE 8 and 20 characters of mixed cases and numbers... no alphanumeric non-caracteres.

  3. If the TC is router, you can ignore this point. It is only a problem when the TC is bridged.

  If ensure that the TC is always the same IP address... you will need to do this on the main router using a dhcp reservation... or a bit more complex setup by using the static IP address in the TC. But it's important for deriving from intellectual property in all directions when MYELCAP do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

  4. check that your share on the computer name does not change... (It was mostly from the Mavericks)

  Make sure that it is also in line with the above... short without space and pure alphanumeric... but this change will mess up your TM backup... so be prepared to make a new, full backup. Sorry... keep this one for the second round, if you want to avoid a new backup.

  5 attach the TC disc into the computer manually. (Expired for El Capo... just use Finder...) Connect the box below search)

  In Finder, go, connect to the server in the main menu,

  Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever ip of TC is that you made static. It's a default router 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with it unless you know what you're doing).

  You can use the name... SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your name of TC... local is the default domain of the TC and does not change.

  However the names are not so easy as... the IP address nor reliable. They are not at least not in Yosemite. The field can also be a problem if you are not clogged or wireless directly to the Treasury Board.

  6. ensure that IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. (Depends on your ISP and if they moved to IPv6.. e.g. comcast).

  For example wireless open network, wireless and Advanced preferences / TCP/IP... and the difficulty of IPv6. link-local only. Do the same for the ethernet if you use it.

  

  In the TC configured only IPv6 local link... assuming you're on IPv4 yet.

  

  It is very important with some ISPS like cox cable at this time.

  It is a lot more jiggery pokery, you can try, but the above is a good start... If you still find not reliable... don't be surprised.

  You may need to do more work on the computer itself. for example, to reset the NVRAM/PRAM/SMC... helped some people. A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

  These changes could amount to little more... practical household good network... but I salute them as a starting point.

  It's going to ruin your Time Machine configuration... So if you change the TC its location in the network name must be passed to TM... so open TM preferences and put the backup to the new location. TM will then say that he will make a new backup... once he starts, he will find the TC and original backups... check it out... and then do another differential... so no problem. If you are prompted to you want to use the old and new locations of backup just say a new.

• Problems of compatibility with Time Capsule

  I have a Time Capsule, which seems to be only compatible with Snow Leopard.  My software is OS X 10.9.5 (13F1603). Live in glue, I would back up my MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule as the internet is slow, but it seems that if they are not compatible with each other.  Any ideas as to what I can do?

  A time Capsule will work with any Mac operating system.

• I have a padlock on my backups in Time Capsule.

  Time Machine has obviously done a check on my Time Capsule to improve reliability.

  

  He put a padlock on the backup and now it is inaccessible for time machine.

  I have the last AirportTC is running the latest firmware - v7.7.3.

  Does anyone know why it does this?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  It's never a good day when you see this message.

  ... Verification process that takes place on a regular basis... detected that your backup files have been corrupted, tried to fix them, but that he could not complete the process.

  Thus, Time Machine will clear all your old backups and start a new backup. Why the files are damaged to some users and not others is something that Apple has not been able to answer.

  I hope that the message does not yet appear in the future, but you never know with Time Machine.
