  I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

  As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

  At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

• Time Capsule not recognized after the replaced logic board.

  Time capsule is not recognized

  I too am in the same "boat" as 'bruf' and 'Pitbullover' my Mac Book Pro had a card failure logic as well as graphics - warranty - replaced but now the MBP does not recognize Time Capsule.  Directly linked to the time via an adapter for MBP port capsule.  It was working OK before the Mac went to repair.

  I followed the great suggestions of LaPastenague (thanks for all the time and expertise you provide other users of Apple).  Tried the factory reset button, but no result. (By the way there is always a flashing amber light on the TC - is this usual?)

  Checked the Finder - showed the distance disc - but no mention of a time Capsule.

  The TC is never used as a return to the top.  I gave up trying to use it as a router, so there may be some vestige of the conflict still in the installation somewhere.

  I will follow this thread with interest in the hope that the wonderful 'gurus' out there can suggest a solution.

  With satisfaction!

  Even if it is not used as a router, it is usually easier to him have plugged into your router main and fulfilled.

  What model is the TC?

  This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  the time Capsule.  Directly linked to the time via an adapter for MBP port capsule.

  Exact details... which adapter... has this crush on ethernet?

  Or Ethernet USB...?

  It could also be a USB wireless... but probably not.

  Have you tried the manual configuration method?

• Time capsule made steep buzz

  I got my TC in July 2013. There are ten days he began to make a noise of almost continuous hum as she has been updated or backup and the led is orange. I unplugged and plugged, but it did not help. Then I pressed the reset button and when she came back on the ROAR had stopped, but he now has a high-pitched hum.

  I took it to the genius bar and did a test preliminary and said he worked well and they sucked some of the dust that had gathered near the entrance to the fan in the base. However, he still has this annoying noise.  It doesn't seem to work ok but I am concerned about the noise, and it's annoying.

  Any ideas? Thank you.

  Since the hard drive runs only when a backup is running, and he turns down once the backup is complete, noise is probably generated by the hard drive. If it was, you would hear only noise when the drive is on, and things would be quiet when the disk was not active.

  This leaves the internal fan as the culprit, which tends to collect dust, which can cause the fan to cry... like it needs cleaning and lubrication.

  If one of your Mac is currently covered by the AppleCare... and... the Capsule is less than 3 years, Apple will replace the Capsule of time for you.

  If the Capsule is not covered by the AppleCare on your Mac, there is much you can other than to attempt to open the time Capsule, clean the fan and replace it if necessary.  The link below will tell you how to open the time Capsule.

  Be careful if you decide to do, because the device tends to almost self-destruction when then case is deleted.  Connectors and cables ribbons can be easily damaged. Good luck!

  Airport Time Capsule A1470 (Mini!) Teardown - iFixit

• Time Capsule/Motorola Surfboard/TWC

  Recently I bought time Capsule airport 2 TB to replace a very old Airport Extreme [2009 version].

  I have Time Warner Cable Ultimate 100 Pack with 100 / 10 Mbps but get 1/10 of what speed is supposed to be with VERY slow internet home to basic navigation purposes. Even worse jobs in the bedroom [apt 1 room].

  My modem is Motorola Surfboard SB6121, that I chose to list approved modem of TWC. However, TWC recently told me that this modem will only max 50/10 which was unknown to me.

  I confess that I know too much about it how to configure these devices together in order to maximize my speed and would like to know if anyone can offer advice or assistance. My modem SB being slow, after buying time Capsule airport will alleviate this problem? Or should I also buy new modem?

  I don't understand the difference between a router time capsule and the surfboard as a modem? Time capsule can act as a modem and router?

  Thanks in advance

  There is no modem built into a time Capsule, so you will need a modem to perform the functions of modem and time Capsule for performing the functions of router.

  I use and rotate the two different modems with TWC 100 Mbit/s service... a Zoom 5341J and a Netgear CMD-31 t.  Both products have delivered 100 + Mbps speeds consistent and reliable for many months.

  Two modems are also fully compatible with the new IPv6 service running on TWC. Not a single question... again.

  Unfortunately, I can't predict whether your results will be the same, better or worse.

• Need help with the implementation of a replacement airport Time Capsule

  Hi... Recognizing the help. My 1 TB airport Time Capsule (ATC) crashed and I bought a new 2 TB ATC to replace. In my preference system, Time Machine reflects that my ATC 1 TB is still active. How to pay safely my 2 new cases of tuberculosis ATC to replace the 1 TB ATC?

  Assuming that you 1. already connected the new TC on your network, and/or 2. you were able to save all data on TC 1 TB, or simply do not take care of him You can just open Time Machine preferences, turn the Time Machine off, and then select the disk in the new time Capsule. A brand-new first backup starts to run, and it will certainly take time.

  Another option is to connect the new TC on ethernet directly on your Mac and then select the Time Machine preferences, this will speed up the first backup.

  In case you were able to archive the old backup and transfer it to your new TC, you will continue your backup schedule by simply selecting the new TC in Time Machine preferences.

  I hope this helps.

• Replacement Time capsule

  How can I replace with a new an old Time Capsule and Time Machine backup, then move to the new TC?

  The configuration of the airport utility has an option to replace an existing airport.

  Plug the new TC on the network... Start airport utility... He will try to extend Ethernet but just select options... and choose "Replace an existing device" instead.

  

  We do NOT recommend copy older backups to the new TC... It's much better to start the new Time Machine backup and after a few months of use and a good amount of history built upward and then erase the old TC.

  You can do... Plug the old TC in the news once you have finished replacing and using ethernet on computer... Copy the sparsebundle from one to the other... It is often unusable... so a total waste of time... but it is up to you.

• 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

  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:

• Replacement of an old time capsule with a new

  I saw a few posts on this subject but they don't help me, but then again I'm not an expert! What I wanted to do, is to set up my new 2 TB Time Capsule (the high) using all the old settings. I'm not talking to duplicate the time capsule data; I'm happy to go back on it. Many people advise new network from scratch, but we have hordes of families who visit most other devices on the network enabled (like nests) who have been extremely painful to put in place and I can't face that again! I searched the internet and came across a great video on YouTube that made simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VO2tztvb58

  It called an option within the airport most convenient to transfer the parameters of one former airport to another. But no matter how many times I try, I get an error message

  Apple solution seems to be so simple. I do something wrong, maybe in the login sequence, at some point, the airport ask "which network is the existing time Capsule on?" but provides no pull-down or options to nominate for. Then I went to the network Wifi high to the right of my Mac and selected icon that interests you and that moved on the next screen.

  Can anyone offer advice or should I give up and start from scratch?

  Thanks in advance

  Connect your computer to the TC using ethernet... you change wireless wireless and guess what... you're sawing off the branch on which you sit.

  If your computer does not have ethernet or you have no computer in the House that still has the port most important in the world... so that you never get yourself backed into a corner wireless even once, then buy a bolt of lightning for the ethernet card.

  Alternative method.

  This is not 100% kosher, but should work.

  On the old TC export the configuration.

  

  My screen is a bit old, but it should always be there.

  You must be within the facility of the TC to do... then click the old TC icon and then edit... then export...

  On the use of new TC import a Configuration file.

  It works for most. FOR THE MOST PART.

  As a BTW... your name is terrible.

  All new Mac OS since Mavericks use the default SMB protocol.

  SMB has much stricter rules that AFP ever made... This is not your fault... This is apple not to repair their airport for the automatic naming utility is not the long names with spaces and characters not compliant... the apostrophe is illegal... you will notice that if you install the disk in the finder, that apostrophe, and spaces are removed from the name... but over the long names will interrupt the.

• Replacement of Gen3 Time Capsule with last gen

  My year 2009 TC model works very well, but the HD is full (and I want to update before it dies eventually). How to install a new without losing the data stored on the old?

  Installation of a new time Capsule would not affect the old TC somehow. Simply connect the new TC to your network and start backups Time Machine going the new TC.

  Keep the old TC around during a few months in case you need to go back and choose a file, while the new TC builds a new history of backups.  When you're ready, you can then erase the disc on the old TC and sell it or keep it as a spare drive.

• Time Capsule - problem with the backup

  Hej!

  I get the message "an error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair the backup drive. "A bit of research on Google, it seems that to restart the time capsule actually perform a repair disk. So I did it. The problem comes back, and sometimes she disappears, if I restart the backup, which confuses me. Is it possible to view the error logs and check what is the problem? I'm afraid that the backup drive may have hardware problems. I bought time capsule airport little for more than a year (in Sweden).

  Someone else has encountered this, and what was your solution?

  Johannes

  Most of the questions is network... and the error messages may not clearly identify between a network and disk problem problem.

  I bought time capsule airport little for more than a year (in Sweden).

  How long this problem has been going since then?

  In Europe the warranty period may be 2 or 3 years by law.

  Certainly if you have AppleCare on a supported product... computer, ipad, or apple TV the TC will be replaced by Apple under warranty. Just explain your problem to them.

  If you do not have access to the warranty or replacement.

  I highly recommend that you check your drive TC if there is nothing on what you need... then do a single pass low level format. It's utilitarian airport disk tab Archive is here... then the clear operation.

  

  Erase use the single-pass option.

  

  It is a low level disk format. (Don't bother with 7 and never even dream of using 35).

  If the problem persists when you restart the backup I suspect network problems... or the TC is a failure... mine (a 3rd in 3 years) comes from the same way... I pulled the drive and replaced it with a better brand than the basic model known problem seagate used Apple.

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Impossible to extend the existing wi - fi with time capsule airport

  Hello

  I have one Capsule of airport TB 2 hung on an Ethernet in my study (lower level).

  I already have an existing wi - fi network to ISP modem/router to my media box provided at the top level.

  In addition, I have an Extender provided by the ISP of lower level.

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  I tried several times to do so, but either it freezes up or creates its own network despite the

  mode bridge as stated in Airport utility.

  Guide gently with the method or Protocol correct to put that in place.

  Thank you

  Jay

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  It sounds like you may try to extend the network of your "main" router wireless

  The time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network if your 'main' router is also an Apple AirPort base station.  Or... in other words if your 'main' router is not an Apple product, then the time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network.

  So, the first question to ask here would be... What is the number of brand and model of your router "main"?

  If you intend to leave the time Capsule connected to your main router with an Ethernet connection, the Capsule must have the maximum value of "create a wireless network.  If you use the same wireless network name and password using your 'main' router, Time Capsule will provide additional wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

• Time Capsule - devices do not connect

  I have a Time Capsule router. I had problems with the devices does not connect to the internet. Restart the previous device will connect then another will not. I have ~ 20 devices on my wireless network. I replaced my DSL modem but the problem persists.

  Any time that you change your network hardware, it's always a good idea to perform a complete recycling of your network equipment power. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details on how to do it. Please post back your results.

• Having WiFi problems could be Time Capsule

  I have an Arris 6190 modum, but I have the old model of the time Capsule that I use for my main router as well as two airports hard apple wired connected. Comcast came out, and they suggested that the old time Capsule could be the problem. Have not disappeared even though the storage on the older, therefore hoped not to buy a new. Someone at - it experience with this? Would also need to buy new airports as well?  Thank you.

  What exact model is your 'old' Time Capsule?

  However, you should be aware that there are several posts here in communities of Apple support about Arris/Motorola SB61XX-series modems with 802.11n base stations or 802.11ac airport. This is not bad in itself, but they do not seem to 'play nice' together. The most common symptoms reported are slow data transfer rates and inconsistent Internet connectivity.

  If this is the case for you, the basic option is to replace one or the other. Depending on how old your Time Capsule is, it may be due for a replacement.
