• can I save my iPad on my time machine airport?

  I have a time machine airport I tired to backup my mac pro book. Can I also use it to save an iPad or iPhone or an other macbook?

  iOS devices like the iPad and iPhone to iTunes on your computer... or... to iCloud.

  IF... your iOS backup on iTunes on a Mac computer... when the computer to backup using Time Machine backups of your iPhone / iPad are thus saved.  So iOS devices can save some indirectly if you back up your Mac.

• problem of time machine Airport: finder does not

  Hello

  I use a time capsule from the airport. The connection works fine.

  However, I was doing a few files "organized" in the records of the airport and all of a sudden the finder would not respond. I tried to 'Force quit' the finder and start again or turn off 30 seconds time capsule, but the result is the same for a few days now. When I return to my main folder in capsule, automatically the finder is unresponsive and I have to restart the finder.

  One of the reasons could be that when I was doing 'organized' files (like move one folder to another, etc.) he too complicated (large files) and then the thing all jammed.

  Anyway, if you guys might have a solution for me, this would not lose all my files I appreciate.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  All the best,

  Florent

  PS: I'm using an Imac, Yosemite, version 10.10.03

  Nothing will fix itself without some spoil your files... Something has stuck at halfway between the two and is now corrupted. Unfortunately, Finder can not work around the problem... If you did this correctly, you can use disk utility to solve the problem... but you cannot run disk on TC utility because it is a network drive.

  You have three choices I see...

  One that suits that I listed last.

  1 make the cleaning of the Terminal file. It's hard I think because you do not know which files you were moving around in time. And work of the terminal is for real experts or you can do more damage than you started with.

  2. use a windows computer connected to the CT... that sounds crazy, I know, but you will not crash explore like you do finder. Fix up (remove all the files that are half way moved). If you have been for example copy of records. (travel is not a method Apple uses... so what do you mean by moving?)

  Delete the moved folder... Make sure you have all the files elsewhere of course.

  3. There is a way around that could save...

  In airport utility go to the disk tab and select archive.

  You need to connect a Mac to format USB stick capacity equal or superior to all the files on the TC, including backup (tell me, you need not backup)... you can't be selective. And start archiving. Once you have it on a hard drive which you can then plug your computer... you can run the utility disk on it and fix the problems before opening finder... Once you have done this... Erase the zone folder on TC and copy it to the back of the USB drive repaired. This method may work best... it will cost you a USB... BTW, which is how you should have done this...

  Now the rap on the fingers. You can stop reading now...

  NEVER USE A NETWORK DRIVE TO YOUR HAND WITHOUT A BACKUP FOLDERS.

  When you handle files... do you not understand that each file must be copied TC - computer - TC. If you do more wireless... corruption is inevitable.

  All the key files should be on the local drive... A USB plugged into the computer is fine... but active faster the better... libraries and files will end by corrupted if you use files on a network resource and access more wireless... even on ethernet, it can not not... but more wireless, it's inevitable. Apple didn't build protection in the TC to work as a file server. You use software designed for local use.

  Always save... If this happened and you had the worst backups that could happen is that you need to clear the TC and copy the files back.

  Keep this and you will eliminate not only a few files but loads of them... maybe all.

  A time Capsule is not designed for running your files of overload... Plug in a USB key or faster in particular the iMac is great hassle since you can use in powered car and hide behind the computer... The TC is for your TM backups. Dragging files to it... you have now no way back up since the TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup network drives impossible.

  End rap.

• After the initial setup time machine should be hard wired to the modem

  Should time machine be hard wired to the modem after initial installation

  Yes, if it must be used in its default configuration as a router DHCP network and all clients need to connect to the World Wide Web.

• Time Machine can't see NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan

  We have two MacBook Pro and 4 car TB WD MyBook attached to our wireless router. This disk is partitioned and used for Time Machine backups. We did not have problems with this configuration, up to yesterday, that we decided to format the disk and repartition it. We did it with my MacBook Pro which is running El Capitan (10.11.3) and the newer disk utility program. I plugged the drive locally on the laptop and he came back and said that through fine form/partitioning layout. However, I moved to the router as a NAS and went to setup Time Machine... Time Machine could not see the player. I could map the drive and write to her through 'connect to server... ". "without any problem. Even tried the thing to "map the drive on the desktop" to make it appear on the list of drives available in Time Machine. Nothing worked! I thought something may had been bad installation, or gone bad, partitioning and started... always the same results. The third time, I decided to use MacBook Pro my wife who still works Yosemite with the old "Disk Utility" program on this subject. I went through and formatted/partitioned it the same as before. However, when I hooked up like the SIN this time and the mapped drive he appeared right on Time Machine just as it should have the first time.

  Is there a problem with Time Machine, find readers NAS to format / partitioned in El Capitan? Is there a setting that needs to be changed in the new "Disk Utility" program to make it work? I'm a bit of a loss here...

  The router cannot possibly recognize a drive formatted by OS X. It uses an operating system that is totally foreign.

  A device third-party network attached storage (NAS) or a router is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the device as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you are trying to restore and find that you can't.

  Apple has published a specification for network devices that works with Time Machine. No third party provider, AFAIK, does meet this specification. They all use the application of Netatalk incomplete, obsolete Apple Filing Protocol.

  Apple does not endorse any device third-party network for use with Time Machine. See this support article.

  Network backup, use as destination an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or a 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only 802.11ac base stations support time Machine, not older model.

  Otherwise, use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to save, although none of them are nowhere near as effective or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  If you are determined to continue to use the device with Time Machine, your only remedy for any resulting problem is the manufacturer (who will blame Apple, neither you nor anyone else but herself.)

• How to replace the internal hard drive and continue with existing Time Machine backups

  I have a time Machine airport TB 3 attached to the Ethernet port on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 7.1. It has a 1 TB internal SSD I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to a 2 TB OWC drive. The last time I did it, I had to start my Time Machine backups.

• Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

  Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

  Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

  When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

  Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

  I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

  Any suggestions?

  Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

  1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

  2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

  Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

  Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

  3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

  4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

• Time Machine can't find my Airport Extreme disk

  I have a 3 TB Airport Extreme connected via USB to my iMac.  iMac is El Capitan (10.11.6) running my iMac is a mid-2007.  When I try to set up Time Machine to back up on the AE, it does not offer me EI in option for a backup drive.  In fact, when I look on the Finder, I don't see not EI there either.  What's wrong?

  The USB port on an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule of airport is here to add an additional hard drive for storing data... or... a compatible USB printer.

  The USB port can be used to connect a Mac or any other computer.

  Instead, your Mac connects to the airport using the wireless or if you want a wired connection, it's via an Ethernet cable.

  AirPort Extreme is not an internal hard drive at all, so you could say you have a 3 TB Time Capsule airport, which does not have an internal hard drive.  Please specify if you have additional questions.

• Impossible to use Time Machine on Airport Extreme

  Back in June, I brought a laptop HD work to save the laptop. It's something I have done 3 times a year, in addition to using Time Machine on my 1 TB Airport Extreme. Well, when I did that, I went from 'H Time Capsule' to 'Brian's Portable HD. Everything saved. No problem. It seemed.

  Unfortunately, I can no longer use Time Machine on the 1 TB drive. Every time as I try, I get "password to the server": Time Capsule". And the password I try does not work. Arrrggh.

  Is it possible to find the password lost at an Airport Extreme?

  Can or, if it's a no-go, I reset everything on it and start over?

  Thank you.

  Brian

  It would really help if you could provide the version of the operating system that you use on your laptop.

  The reason is that if you can access the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility, you can retrieve the "lost password" for the album Time Capsule, which could be the password wireless, could be the base station password, or it might be the disk password... it depends of how you implement the AirPort Extreme.

• El Capitan to 10.11.6 now airport Time Machine keeps disconnecting update

  I've just updated El Capitan to 10.11.6.  Now the airport Time Machine keeps disconnecting. Any suggestions?

  Time Machine is a software on your Mac, which is used to save the contents of your Mac (s) at an airport Time Capsule.

  An Airport Time Capsule is a wireless router with a hard drive built-in, designed to store backups Time Machine of your Mac (s).

  With this in mind, could you give more details about the problem you are having?  Disconnection from the airport Time Capsule or disconnecting from Time Machine?

  Do you get any error messages? If so, what exactly is the message that you receive?

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• Time machine can finish no backup on airport time capsule

  Time machine can finish no backup on airport time capsule.

  explanation: there is no access to the/volumes/data-1/macbook diskcopiefile xxxx.sparsebundle that is used to back-up pro (error (null))

  The network failed to halfway through the backup.

  To resolve this problem, we need to know your complete network type.

  This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  Who is your ISP? It is important for the IPv6 configuration.

  What model is the TC?

  What the configuration of TC in the network?

  How old is the MBP? If you have an ethernet port that you use it instead of wireless?

  Is this a first backup? Or were you works well for awhile and it's broken now?

• Airport Extreme and Time Machine

  Two questions:

  I have a 2nd generation (I think) Time machine. Network performance is slow throughout the House. MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone, etc. In addition, we have internet high speed ugly (country life). The new Airport Extreme upgrade will speed up my network? Also if I buy AE without Time Machine can I use always current Time Machine for backups and not as a router? Running Mac Mini end of 2014.

  If the seed is limited by your internet provider then a new router will not help.

  Try to connect to a Mac via a cable (Ethernet). That will help determine if update will help your wifi router with internet high speed.

  An Airport Extreme includes NO storage. Apple's time Capsule incorporates an Airport Extreme and a hard drive for storage in a single package/case.

  Even if you bought a time Capsule you sill use your existing storage unit for your Time Machine backup
