• Can't get the Time Capsule network to see Airport Extreme?

  I have a network set up through my Time Capsule and I want to express with my Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't get the network to see Airport Extreme - or rather, we'll see, but when I try to connect to it, it starts to connect, and then I get an unexpected error. I tried to restore both their factory settings and did a restore forced several times to the Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. I made sure to affect my IPv6 link-local only, I've even re-created my network several times (always with the Capsule of time as the main base station, but nothing seems working.

  Any ideas would be very useful.

  The Airport Extreme and time Capsule have been purchased during the last month, and I'm under OS10.11.1

  First of all, try to update your software El Capitan to the current version of operation... 10.11.4... which was supposed to solve some of the bugs that cause the message "unexpected error".

  If still no help, try using an iPhone or an iPad for the configuration.  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

• Cannot move the files, photos at airport Time Capsule

  Hello

  I want to transfer files, photos of my Time Capsule but I don't see anywhere on my macbook. I think that something I messed up when I was put in place at the time of Christmas trees. I'll start from the beginning. Before I bought my time capsule I was connected to the internet through my wireless router, name: GMZ-83313. After that I bought my Time Capsule I set up and connected to the internet. Problem is that I have 2 networks who I can connect it is: GMZ - 83313 and Daniel Wi - Fi network (finally...) I have three really because I started to play with it more and I have network of Wi - Fi for the 3rd networkDaniel 5 GHz ;(

  I just want to add that yesterday I was able to transfer photos from my time capsule and it showed here where you can see GMZ-83313. Yesterday, it was Ant Time Capsule of Daniel it was working fine.

  

  I'm lost please help. I have attached a shot of my airport utility screen:

  

  Click gmz-83313 under the Shared heading in the Finder window

  A folder that represents the Time Capsule... hard drive that is named 'Data', unless you have changed the name... appears in the window on the right

  Double click on data to open the player and install it on the desktop computer

  You can drag and drop the files to the disc on the desktop icon or the open window

• I have my time capsule for base station; How do I set up just for Time Machine?

  For several years, I have used Time Capsule as a wireless base station more backup Time Machine. I back up a Macbook Air (single user) and iMac with 2 users (two computers running on OS X 11.5). With Comcast Xfinity I need is more like a base station. In fact, I reset my router Xfinity name and password to replicate what was the name and the password to my Time Capsule network. But, now that it's done I can't understand of set up time capsule without set it up as a base station. The installation guide seems to suggest that I could do so by plugging the ethernet cable from the modem to an ethernet port which is not the WAN port. But this configuration did not work. The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

  The installation wizard only took me the steps to set up a wireless network. How can I simply we it with Time Machine as an external hard drive?

  Simply turn off the time Capsule wireless.

  To do... Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, then click on modify in the window that appears

  Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the next window

  Change the setting for the Mode of network on 'Off '.

  Click Update to save the changes

  

  But... and this is a big BUT... This work of pourrait ... and maybe not. Even if the backup on the Comcast network seems to be working, there will be no help from Apple in case of questions or problems of backup.

  The reason is that, so that your Time Machine backups be supported officially by Apple, users must save on the Time Capsule wireless, or connect their Mac (s) directly to one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  If you decide to try the method of failure to load, please let us know how things work after a few days.

• Best config Time Capsule - Airport Express

  Hi all.

  My home network at present are as follows:

  -My ISP, with a disabled Wi - Fi router;

  -Mac and PC connected via ethernet cables using the router's LAN ports.

  -Airport Express (WAN port) connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router that gives Wi - fi in the House: note that the router and AirPort Express are in different rooms (router: bedroom, AirPort Express: living room)

  I want to add a time Capsule to my network, but I want to put in the living room, where the Express is at the moment. I don't have a single cable ethernet connecting the bedroom to the living room because there is not enough space in the walls of two sons.

  What I would do is:

  -Time capsule in the living room, connected via an ethernet cable to the router, generating the signal Wi - Fi;

  -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

  This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

  If this is not possible, my only option is to connect the Time Capsule via ethernet to the router and then connect the WAN port on the Express to a port of time Capsule, right? Would not be my best installation in the House, but if it's the only one that works, I'll go with it. If I didn't have the problem of the single cable connecting the two rooms, everything would be super easy. Extending Wi - Fi wireless is not in my case, having this second wired option.

  Any other suggestion is appreciated!

  -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

  This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

  Of course, it works very well. Download Time Capsule set up and running using Apple "Installation Wizard", and then reset the Express back to the settings by default and set up using Configuration Apple "Assistant" as well.

  The wizard will affect automatically the same SSID and password to the AirPort Express, which uses the Capsule, so by default, you will have what is called a "mobile network". For the configuration, I would recommend that you temporarily connect the Express to the time Capsule using a short Ethernet cable to spare before you run the installer... no matter how long will do.  Connect from a port LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the "O" in L'Express WAN port. Once the Express is set up, you can move it to the location of the router to establish Ethernet connection here.

  If for any reason, you want the AirPort Express to use a different SSID as the time Capsule, you can use AirPort Utility to go back and change the SSID (and the password as well if you want) on the AirPort Express Terminal.

• Create wireless network with airport Time Capsule

  I replace my ISP provider rented the modem / router with a modem, I bought and I would use my gen current airport Time Capsule to set up the wifi network. I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  I am running OS X Capitan 10.11.3 on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.

  Thank you!

  Dale

  I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  Hmm.  A time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so what works for one should work for the other and vice versa. You might be looking at old operating instructions?

  Since you've decided to add a new modem, Time Capsule will be reset back to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new modem.  Apple installation "wizard" will guide you in installing the time Capsule, by appointing a wireless network, set up a password, etc, so the process is very easy to name.

  The installation provided with your Time Capsule Guide goes on how to set up the time Capsule.

  After resetting the time Capsule to factory default settings, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

  To get the "Assistant" Setup running, just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for the new AirPort base station. Just below that, click directly on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme, but you would see on your screen time Capsule.

  

  When you click on the Time Capsule, the next screen that is displayed looks like this, except that you will see a picture of a Capsule of time on your screen.

  

  Simply click next to get the process going and follow the instructions.

• Airport Extreme will not read Time Capsule trying to create network roaming

  I have read all the forums on that alone and became frustrated. I am creating a roaming network for a time at an airport extreme capsule. I followed the directions of countless times without success. Time Capsule is set to DHCP and Nat, while the extreme is in Bridge Mode and has the exact same name and password network settings. Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works. In fact, this is how I am writing this post right now! My problem is that the Airport extreme will not even read the time capsule at all. Can someone help me please? A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace? I don't know what that means. Sorry to be a pain.

  has the exact same name and password network settings.

  Just to double check that you mean the password and the name of wireless... not the base station name and password the names of base station must be different.

  Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works.

  To the limit sometimes the gradient exceeds just slower... it does not connect.

  If you check the laptop goes to the Advanced preferences network ethernet to the last tab has the speed dropped to 10Mbit? The extreme is not able to go as low automatically... and unfortunately there is no controls for the later models.

  

  What model is your extreme?

  If it's a Gen5 or an earlier version... you can use older airport utility to set the speed of the wan port. This feature is removed from models later, of course... and the AU later so does she. If you can go try it using full duplex 10mbit. If that works try 100mbit full duplex, but you might find it's too fast.

  

  A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace?

  Your friend has a good idea.

  I would have cut the cable in the middle... and put an end to both ends. Then place a switch on the line (not a router). A switch is a bit like an amplifier. It is to retransmit the signal so it can go another 100M...

  The other issue is on pairs... If you have installed this cable yourself and terminated yourself you were affecting the pairs?

  Ethernet is delicate to the wire because of its origins as the wiring phone... where the Center pair is for the phone.

  MacBook won't connect to the Internet via long cable?

  Here is a very similar problem to yours... was bad ethernet endpoints. Break the pairs at your own risk.

• Time capsule airport unplug my Airport Express and internet

  Howdy,

  I just brought my Airport Time Capsule of the work. I have the joint via an Ethernet cable to my extreme, both are in my basement. Upstairs, I have a set Express in place to expand the wireless. The extreme and Express worked for many years now.

  Once the time Capsule has been recognized in the public services of the airport, he made an update of the firmware.

  After that, I edited the settings for the time Capsule to my home network and set it to "develop wireless."

  Extreme, Express and Time Capsule all had them green to light up in public services - so I tried to run a Time Machine backup, and things went sour.

  The cable modem the extreme is connected to started to abandon the connection every 30-45 seconds and the Express light went red and there is no longer recognized, so I clicked "forget" to remove it. Time Machine could not locate the time Capsule.

  So I unplugged the Time Capsule, all rebooted and now my extreme and Express up and running again.

  What waste?

  Thank you

  Dan

  After that, I edited the settings for the time Capsule to my home network and set it to "develop wireless."

  I think you probably mean "extend a wireless network".

  This is the bad setting... because it would be used only if the time Capsule connected to your network using Wireless.  You specify the Time Capsule connects using Ethernet.

  Here is what is happening now... the time Capsule waiting for a wireless connection, but he gets an Ethernet connection.  This translates into a huge feedback loop that effectively blocks your network.

  The correct setting for the time Capsule would be "create a wireless network"using the same exact wireless network name, security and password as other Apple routers. " Finally, make sure that the time Capsule is set to run in Bridge Mode before you click Update to save the new settings.

• AirPort Time Capsule Help!

  I have an airport Time Capsule, which supported my computer for the last 2 years.  We have recently changed our router and now cannot save.  This is obviously because of the wifi name and different password for what is stored in the time Capsule.  I looked at various manuals and notes help but it says click on edit and I don't see it.  There is no change when I go to Applications - Utilities - airport, just my time capsule with

  Open Airport utility. Go to wireless setup using the menu of the button on the upper part of the Airport utility display window. Here, you can change what you need to change - the network name Wi - Fi and the new password. Click Update when finished.

• Time Capsule do not pick up address DHCP and cable modem...

  You just bought a Time Capsule and a couple of Airport Express. If none of these devices are connected together via Ethernet, they seem to have set themselves up, and all is well.

  That being said, I tried to create a mobile network instead of pure wi - fi and am studying various behaviors that are not as expected when I rear hub to the Internet Time Capsule, but need to isolate and go 1 bit at a time... (it works not as well as suggest Apple instructions on homelessness of installation)...

  If:

  1. configuration of the modem cable shows that DHCP is 'ON' and supplied address range 192.168.0.x by 192.168.0.y,.

  2 Cable modem wireless is disabled,

  3 Time Capsule Wan is connected to the cable modem, Ethernet

  4 Time Capsule is configured to request its address IP, DHCP

  5. Airport Express is in Bridge mode and have addresses such as 10.x.y.z (appears to be from a Time capsule).

  6. safe as Time Capsule is set to be as DHCP and NAT

  7. There is NO other device in this configuration connected by Ethernet except the cable Modem and the Time Capsule.

  So, why is the IP address of the time Capsule 76.181.45.xyz? (The address is NOT in the range of the DHCP as described in the #1; it is not supposed to be?) ....

  Whence this address?

  A friend says this address puts the "other side" Time Capsule of the cable Modem, directly on the Net?... (Shouldn't worry?) ....

  If none of these devices are connected together via Ethernet, they seem to have set themselves up, and all is well.

  It's because you didn't have the devices connected via Ethernet before you set up the. Given that the installation utility saw a wireless connection, it is assumed that this was the way that you want to connect devices on your network at all times... so he put it this way.

  If you had an established connection Ethernet before you ran the installer, then the utility would have detected this connection and set up the airport to "expand using Ethernet", does not extend to assistance of wireless.

  (it works not as well as suggest Apple instructions on homelessness of installation)...

  If all goes well, you don't talk about this document... Wi - Fi base stations: extend the reach of your network wireless by adding additional base stations Wi - Fi - Apple Suppo... .. Since the 'how' information in this article is at least 4 years late, bear little resemblance to the latest version of AirPort Utility and some of the information are simply not true.  This document if trash is what you... He'll probably do more harm than good with regard to the details of setting.  The article is OK for basic general information, however.

  6. safe as Time Capsule is set to be as DHCP and NAT

  It should not be if your modem is a modem/router "" or type 'bridge' of the device which is also DHCP and NAT services. The fact that you have disabled the wireless on the device confirms that it is both a modem AND a router. That being the case, then you have two devices that both struggling among themselves to try to control the same network... AND do you also have a network error called Double NAT... something you don't want.

  Probably the best at everything again and provide us with the number of brand and model of your "modem", that we can confirm what it is that you have, then the correctly configured time Capsule to work with this device. Once the time Capsule is set up correctly, it will be easy to put in place the other airports.

• 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

• Question conectivity Time Capsule with Windows 7

  Hello

  I am owner of a time Capsule A1309 with 3 TB of memory and it stopped working with my Windows PC for a while. It used to connect normally not long ago, but now the drive doesn't appear and I can't access the time with AirPort Utility Capsule unless I type the IP address. I have a lot of archives stored in the drive and cannot access it from any PC running Windows in my house.

  My Control Panel is:

  • RAM - 8 GB
  • Intel Core i5 - 2430 M 2.40 GHz
  • 64 bit
  • Windows 7 Professional

  I know that the Time Capsule works normally, because I can access it from an old iMac I have here.

  Other details: My Time Capsule is on System 7.6.7 version and I also have the last airport utility installed on my PC.

  Thanks in advance,

  Rodrigo Trindade

  For starters, you have access to the Time Capsule (TC) using the AirPort for Windows PC? The question started the TC to 7.6.7 firmware version after update?

• 'No available backup disk', Time Machine is not more Time Capsule

  I have a time Capsule 2 TB and it has been used by Time Machine for many months.

  A few days ago the Capsule detached from his power and today is now connected to the new.

  Time Machine reports the error "backup disc not available."

  Time Capsule lights are green, AirPort Utility is showing this device being lit also.

  Time Machine knows how much space is available on this unit. However, it is not able to use this device to register older backups or to create a new.

  I don't see this device in the Finder, although I couldn't see him there when everything is working well.

  Airport utility indicates an IP address for this device and I can ping.

  What to do now? Isn't it at least possible to mount to access the files on it?

  Hello sdrfliozuit76,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I understand your message that you are not able to back up your Mac with Time Machine and the error "backup disc not available."

  To continue troubleshooting this situation, I recommend reading and working through the following article and its suggested steps.

• Time Capsule password

  I want to recover my files from a Time Machine on a Time Capsule backup. My Mac not connect to the Time Capsule said as he tells me that I entered an incorrect password. I've never had a Time Capsule password and it has never changed, nor no one else knows. Whenever I have try and enter my password, it tells me that it is bad when I know that it is not. The files are saved are extremely important and I can not afford these files to be lost.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Sorry, I'm not not clear about the question to know if you say that you used Time Machine on your Mac to back up your files on the time Capsule at the long... or, if you have a new Mac and try to access the files on the Time Capsule.

  In both cases, you "see" the time Capsule if you open AirPort Utility?

  We ask, is that you probably don't remember two passwords different on the Time Capsule originally implemented. One of them was a Base Station, or a password of the device... and the other was a wireless network password.

  Chances are, you know your password wireless, but here you are prompted for the password of the basic Station or "peripheral" to the time Capsule.

• Is Time Capsule Capable of managing 1000mbps speeds?

  I need to know if my Time Capsule can be used as a wifi with 1000 Mbps speeds incoming router. Some people in the neighborhood have bought high range routers that are able to put nearly 1,000 Mbit/s, and I want to know if my Time Capsule will be up to the task, or if I should start looking for a new router. Thank you!

  The answer depends on how you have set up on your network time Capsule.

  If the Capsule is the "primary" router providing DHCP and NAT services for your network, the Wan on the flow of the LAN on the Time Capsule will be limited to 400-500 Mbps on average. Ditto for the wireless.

  If you use another device on your network that behaves like a router, it can deliver 1 000 Mbit/s to the Capsule and the time Capsule is set up as a 'bridge' for the network, Time Capsule will probably provide nearly 1 000 Mbit/s speeds.
