• 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.

• Airport Time Capsule device not found

  I have the time Capsule on the airport of the TB 3 802.11ac (bought 9/2014).  It integrates the latest version of the 7.7.7.  Just last week, I received the error device not found (.. .has been previously a part of your network... etc.).  The internet connection is always good and the component of the time capsule router still works.  When I unplug the device, it can find him but eventually will go down in a few minutes.  I also did a warm reboot, but some results.  Printer connected to the time capsule does not, nor does Time Machine back ups.

  Would be grateful of any advice on why the drive not found error continues to occur.  Thank you!

  You have Back to My Mac enabled on the Time Capsule?

  If so, turn it off for the moment in the AirPort Utility and restart the time Capsule.

• Airport utility does not Time Capsule

  I recently bought a 2 TB TimeCapsule airport.  The ethernet cable from the router is plugged into the WAN connector and the power is on the Time Capsule device.  I can access internet via WiFi labeled Apple 686555 network device, but the Airport utility cannot locate the TimeCapsule which is 10 feet.  He sees the Apple 686555 network device, but not to join the airport Time Capsule.  The error is very descriptive: "an unexpected error has occurred.  Try again. "Very revealing.  Don't know what to do.  iMac running OS x 10.10 and 6.3.4 airport

  Thoughts?

  The "unexpected error" is caused by a bug in Yosemite.

  Try powering down of the time Capsule by pulling the power cord to the back of the unit or by unplugging the power cord from the wall AC

  Restart the Mac.

  After that the Mac was for a minute or two, switch on the time Capsule and let it run for a minute

  Then try the installation again

• Time capsule: no backup, device not found but internet work

  After my vacation my Time Machine's backups. The Internet works, but the backup utility cannot find the device more. The last backup is a few days before my holiday a month ago.

  In the Time Machine - page select disk (config) TC logo is there, but the only option is to 'remove' the current disk/copy.

  El Capitan, Time Capsule + Airport Express; Time Machine

  I think I have solved the problem in a strange way:

  -J' watched the disc of airport in the Finder; He had to connect to the TC unit (password information automatically), and content (two sparsebundles) was now visible.

  And after that, at the same time the backup started. It will take 7 hours to complete the backup. It seems that it is regarded as an initial backup then.

  Furthermore, the disc name is passed automatically Time Capsule etc. airport to disk .

• wired devices is more capable of connecting to time capsule

  Wired devices connected to the time capsule apple are assigned is no longer an ip address and not able to connect to the internet. Always wireless devices connect very well without any problems.

  Gites assign addresses IP not work

  The capsule is connected via PPPoE modem of fibre broadband BT openreach

  Any ideas?

  Wireless devices get the private IP address of the TC... Please check.

  for example... the TC in standard configuration as a router will use 10.0.1.x for the first device is 10.0.1.2

  The values of the gateway and DNS will be 10.0.1.1 on the laptop... check and report what are the numbers.

  On the ethernet connected machine... see if you get anything... Otherwise, set an IP address static, for example 10.0.1.201 with gateway of 10.0.1.1 and the same DNS... Does it work... If this is not the case, change the Google public DNS. 8.8.8.8

  It might also help to post some screenshots of the configuration of the TC if you still have questions... tab tab and internet network more summary page.

• I want to use my Time Capsule as a backup via ethernet device but it interfere with the Wi - Fi

  I bought a new Time Capsule (TC) to use as a backup device Time Machine.  Then, I learned that my place of work does not allow me to create my own wifi network.  I connected to the CT with an ethernet cable and turned off the wifi using Airport utility.  Automatic backups to decide using just the cable ethernet, as expected.  However, whenever I plug the ethernet cable from the TC to my laptop (MacBook Pro under OS X 10.10.5), the laptop refuses to use the actual wifi to my work network.  It's like the ethernet connection turns off the wifi connection, even if the laptop is always connected to the wifi (according to the network in the banner at the top of the screen icon).  Unplug the cable immediately gives me access wifi again.

  Any suggestions on how to disable this "feature" where to plug the ethernet cable disables the wifi connection?  Thank you very much!

  Note that I have not connected to the LAN Time Capsule.  It is completely autonomous.

• Using Time Capsule airport on 2 devices

  for some reason, I have a PET of brain here and do not understand this.

  My wife has a laptop computer macpro she does his grad school stuff on.   I have an iMac.   I also have the time capsules from the airport.  the woman is set up with time machine, it sends data via wifi to the time capsule. It is very good.  The mine records at the same Time capsule airport wireless.

  ME, I would use one different wifi router other than the airport on another network device I have, however, the question is: is it possible that I can keep the wifi for the operation of the Apple device and connect my computer via ethernet to the device for the back upward only, using the capsule on the imac.

  I think I can, but I don't want to screw up the wireless network.

  You can use both ethernet and wireless at the same time... but it becomes complicated with the gateway router and DNS values.

  Secondary wireless router should use another address LAN IP for the TC, so you can separate the two networks.

  This could lead to further questions about the network although because you must plug a router into the other I presume... unless you are completely isolate the TC from the internet or if you have in fact two internet connections.

  Give me the real details.

  What is the second router and IP is running?

  How is the installation of TC and what IP is running?

  Screenshots that make it easier.

  I did a write up with screenshots here, which will give you the basics.

• Could not connect more than 4 devices to time capsule

  Hello. I have the latest generation 3 TB Time Capsule. Since last week I can´t connect more than 4 devices to transport CANADA. Before that, I had 2 iPhones, iPad 1 air connection 2, an iMac, a macbook, the appleTV to generation 4 and a PS4. I tried a soft reset, a hard reset, a reset to factory settings, nothing works. Now I can´t connect the macbook and the PS4 more, even if all other devices are off. My iPhone 6s more is the only device that I can connect every time. I installed the last firmare update, but nothing has changed. I don.t know what else to do. Thanks in advance, Fabian

  When the Capsule is configured to act as a router, it will provide up to 50 connections for wireless devices and 150 for the wired devices. So, the first step in troubleshooting that I would say is to ensure that the time Capsule is set to act as the router for your network devices.

  To do this, use the following steps:

  • Open AirPort Utility on your main Mac computer (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)
  • Click on the image of the time Capsule
  • Click on edit in the window that appears
  • Click on the network at the top of the next window tab
  • Check the setting of the router mode know if it is configured as DHCP and NAT... or... If it is off (Bridge Mode).

  Please report it on the setting for the router Mode you see

• My verse ATT modem (non apple devices to use this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs Time Capsule use) via ethernet Uverse.) Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  My verse ATT modem ({use of devices not apple wifi of this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs use the wifi of the time Capsule) and connect to the Uverse modem via ethernet.)

  Both devices are set to the highest security and each uses separate passwords.

  Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

  Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

  If you ask if a PC can read the files on the Time Capsule, the answer is Yes, without doubt, assuming that the PC knew the password of device for the time Capsule.

• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

• Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder?

  Why not Time Capsule shows under "other devices" in the Finder on my MAC?

  "Devices" are connected directly to a Mac and would include things like USB hard drive, FireWire drive and Thunderbolt drive, etc.

  The Capsule is a "network" connected to a network drive... If the operating system on your Mac behave, Time Capsule will appear in the Shared section.

  If you have added a NAS (Network Attached Storage) disk, this product would also appear in the Shared section.

  A wireless printer can also appear under shared.

• Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

  Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

  I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

  Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

  Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

  In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

  If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

• Can I access HARD Time Capsule disk using my devices iOS or PC?

  I'll buy an AirPort Extreme or airport Time Capsule. So I currently don't have a Mac, can I access the HDD of my iOS devices TC or PC as Network Attached Storage?

  Yes, if you download and install an application like FileBrowser on iPhone and iPad. More details here: Stratospherix - FileBrowser - overview

  Yes, if you open Internet Explorer on the PC and type the IP address of the time Capsule or AirPort Extreme network and press ENTER.   Example... \\192.168.1.10

  If you decide on AirPort Extreme, don't forget to format the USB hard disk in Mac OS Extended journaled.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.
