Time Capsule backup suddenly stopped working

I used my Air Port Time Capsule since July last year, without a hitch. Then all of a sudden today, he says: 'no back ups for 155 days' (!) and I get this message:

"The backup drive is not available. Make sure that the backup disk is connected, or select a different backup disk. »

It is connected. I can see it in the AirPort Utility. I see it in the Finder. I access it via the finder. I am at a total loss!

(1) what on Earth is my all backups since July 2015?

(2) how to operate again?

(3) a way to ensure this NEVER happens again?

Help, please!

It is connected. I can see it in the AirPort Utility. I see it in the Finder. I access it via the finder. I am at a total loss!

It's a little unusual to see full access to the rest of the computer and the inability to access by Time Machine.

(1) what on Earth is my all backups since July 2015?

They never happened.

During your updates... things are lost and error messages are never toward the front of the screen even if I suspect that the log is full of them.

(2) how to operate again?

Reset complete TC... and I recommend you wipe it and start the new backup. See the section below... my standard how to correct the answer to the problem.

(3) a way to ensure this NEVER happens again?

Only a stupid person would make a promise, that it will NEVER happen.

Thinking more broadly... I say to the people in these columns now ad nauseum... Use an alternative solution. Carbon Copy clone or Chronosync are good examples.

They can be used alongside TM... but tend to be more reliable.

He is also much better working on a local disk instead of a network... Although with a MBPr having to plug a USB stick in the car all the time would be a brake.

Try to CCC. It's free for a month... If you find that it works for you purchase the license.

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 as it also seems to help stop the nonsense. But it can be tried in the second round. IE, plan on a first and second series of changes to fix this... If all goes well... I note other steps can you tour2.

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... 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. (In your case, it seems not to be a problem... and I need to solve this problem, as El Capo behaves different).

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. 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.

This one is important. The auto setting uses apple straightens always not good values.

For computers updated once or twice since the major point of revisions... I think that a clean installation becomes almost a necessity.

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. In the end... A clean installation of the operating system is also useful if you update installed.

    It is a problem with the TC model AC. We do not know the cause, but he just has problems with a number of different cable modems. (others are also affected, but cable seems the problem of principle).

    What is happening is the WAN constantly talk to the modem port.

    There is nothing you can do... neither is defective... they are simply not happy punks when together.

    The solution is to replace one or the other...

  • Satellite L50Dt - A - touchpad suddenly stopped working

    Hello
    I'm not a part of L50Dt-A Satellite. PSKM2A. It is running Windows 8.1.

    Last night the touchpad suddenly stopped not working, no cursor on the screen.
    The little mouse on the touchpad indicator has not been and is not yet lit.
    So I pressed the Fn + F5 key so many times, but that didn't work back.

    I went to the mouse properties in Control Panel, and under the hardware, it is listed.
    In Device Manager, there is nothing under the mouse either.
    I went to the site of Toshiba and downloaded the driver for the touchpad.

    However, on installation, it says that this is impossible because the computer already has one.
    I need to uninstall and reinstall.
    However, I don't find the touchpad synaptics original anywhere to uninstall driver.

    Everything is updated via windows update and I ran the troubleshooting tools and that you have restarted, and so far, nothing has worked.

    I plugged in an external mouse so I can use it.
    But I'd like my touchpad mouse works again.

    Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

  • Capacity wireless suddenly stopped working after an update of Windows Vista.

    Feature WiFi suddenly stopped working after a windows vista updated.  Wireless switch is engaged, but stays yellow that messeges troubleshooting all say computer does not detect wireless devices.  It's as if someone pulled the unit and the antenna of the portable computer.  I also downloaded the wireless drivers and Setup several times without success.  Wireless device appears in the Device Manager page.  The only thing that is showing and work is the cable which is how I can download the drivers and appear on this forum.  Is it possible that the wireless device is broken?  All applicable lights are lit on the networking modem, no signal is detected on the computer, I have concluded that the wireless on the laptop is just inop.  Either way, I have a Compaq Presario F700 laptop.  All the options out there?  Thank you

    original title: can't find the wireless device

    Hello again, Kathy,

    More specific instruction, I can give to check settings in the BIOS of your system is to search for a list of devices that installed your laptop. There are only two options for each device, activate them and deactivate them.
    Look for something listed as network radio or wireless card and make sure that it is set to enable.
    The option that you network adapter found can also control the wireless adapter, but it can control only the plug adapter (Ethernet) network.
    A simpler solution, if you have not already tried it it is the system restore in Windows as mentioned by Kiran in a previous answer:
    WARNING: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

    I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

    It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

  • Updates Windows 7 suddenly stopped working, stuck at updates

    Original title: Windows 7 updates

    MS has stopped supporting Windows 7? Like many others, my updates of Windows 7 suddenly stopped working last month. I do not install a new or fresh, version but simply by doing what I did every month for a long time and trying to install the latest updates. Windows Update is just to 'check updates'. I left on for more than an hour several times. I tried each 'fix' that has been suggested. Nothing has worked. So, I resorted to the Windows Update Catalog check manually and I noticed that there were no new updates of Windows 7 security for may 2016. Why?

    If all updates appeared and installed then reset the update system is a good idea.

    I prefer this small utility

    Use Option 2 on the list after right click and select run as administrator

    Then right-click on ResetWUEng and select run as administrator

    Follow the rest of the guides messages

    Type 2 for this Option in the list and the Enter key

    Press on y for Yes I think twice

    After that that he completed

    Type 15 for this option and the Enter key to restart the machine.

    Must they will restart in 60 seconds will save your work... Press a key to continue.

    After reboot, go to windows updates and manually check the updates shouldn't take a few minutes.

    Hello
    I got the laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE NB10T-A-10F
    The web cam has suddenly stopped working
    I tried
    Updated bios even without result
    Here is the picture of Device Manager

    In various cases, the webcam can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS
    This option would typically appear in the BIOS under: Advanced-> System Configuration
    Please check this box.

    Otherwise, you need to know also that the webcam driver installation isn't necessary if you use the system Win 8 or 8.1 win because such driver is already part of the system.

    If the BIOS does not have the power option webcam (Advanced-> System Configuration) I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to the factory to check settings if possible hardware malfunction would be responsible for this issue.

  • Satellite C650 - sound suddenly stopped working

    Hello.

    I bought this laptop the month last November.
    in any case, around a week or two ago, the noise suddenly would not work.

    He started making strange noises when I put in the headphones and speakers just made no noise at all never.
    I did a lot of weird things - like system restore, reinstall audio drivers but nothing worked until I updated the bios, then everything went well and the sound worked again.

    However, today, the sound suddenly stopped working again. I tried to re - install the current bios but InsydeFlash says: "the version of the ROM file is the same BIOS version" and just closes.

    I searched the internet for an older version of the bios, but when I try to install it, InsydeFlash said: 'the version of the ROM file is not newer than the version of the BIOS' and of course, I know that but then it closes too!

    I'm not really good at computers or anything, any help at all would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I recommend checking some options first;
    -check if mute is not activated
    -check if all the volume controls are set to a higher value
    -check if the sound using headphones

    If this is not successful, you must reinstall the audio driver.
    First go to Device Manager and uninstall the audio driver. Restart the device
    Download the audio driver from the Toshiba page, then reinstall it. Reboot once again and test the sound.
