• Airport Time Capsule ethernet and WiFi installation

  I am trying to set up my home network, but also, somehow, the practice run for the configuration of my future business...

  Here is the component.

  -Modem: Fast 5250 BELL FIBE Home Hub 2000.

  -Airport Time Capsule 1 t (a big)

  -AirPort Extreme (large)

  -AirPort Express (size of the Apple TV)

  Here are the different coverage area and device usually used in the:

  -office: Printer via USB or ethernet, ethernet MacPro, 2xMacBookAir.

  -Living room: Smart TV, Apple TV2, PS4 (all via ethernet if possible) as well as a bunch of iOS devices and laptop computer via a Wi - Fi connection

  -In room: IOS, Apple TV via Wi - Fi device.

  So good, here's the catch, the modem's in the entry closet surrounded by concrete, so I close the Wi - Fi on it. Cable Ethernet running from there, at the office, upstairs room and the main living area. The plan was to put the TimeCapsule 1 t in the office, extreme in the living room and express on the floor. But I already have problems that they can't be all connect via Ethernet in the modem... Oh! What a mess, he made... So I saw on the support page from apple, is it better to put the airport Time capsule 1 t as principal to create the network. So if I put the Capsule in the closet as the main will be backup my stuff via ethernet?

  Also, I have the older version of Time Capsule (dish 500 GB). Shud I use it as the main airport will be connected to it via ethernet anyway?

  And finally, I connect to the modem using PPPoE bell hand and another airport the main via Bridge DHCP mode. Is this fair?

  Probably all covered already in other posts sorry if it is redundant. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.

• Time Capsule bridge and access point?

  Hello

  I have a question about the network wireless of my TC. Our provider has installed a new router. These router can not work as bridge, telephone and TV are also connected to this router. Because 2 wifi networks do not work, I wonder what is the best set-up for the network? The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? So that I can put it off the wireless of the TC or the ISP router: can I use the TC-wifi (create a new network) or wifi existing ISP router to connect with wireless devices?

  -Do I lose speed when I'm with 2 devices on my network: TC as the ISP as a router and Access Point.

  (I always thought that 1 unit for router and access point is the best configuration.)

  -Are faster backup copies using the TC wireless or it does not matter when I backup on the wireless ISP?

  Some maybe stupid questions, but thanks in advance. Greetings.

  Because 2 wifi networks do not work

  Many people think that this is the case... but this isn't so.

  You can use several wireless networks... all attached to the same router. There is enough bandwidth available in the channels wireless for the operation of 3 different wireless networks nearby each other... and using 5 GHz adds much more.

  The Capsule is connected to the router by ethernet. It is configured as a gateway. Before I used the TC to connect to internet. Now, I have disabled the wi - fi function and use the ISP connection. It looks good, only backups are a little slow now.

  The configuration of TC in bridge is correct.

  Do not turn off the TC wireless... Provide a different name for the ISP wireless router and connect your computer... then you can get internet and make backups on the TC without overloading the ISP router wireless.

  -What is the best configuration for the TC in an existing network? If I disable the wireless of the TC or the ISP router:

  Turn on Wi - Fi in both.

  A physical configuration, it is recommended to have say separation of 1 M (3 feet) between the ISP router and the TC to a min. But it would be even better to have the TC at near the Mac who performs backups TM and related to the ISP router with ethernet.

• How to use Time Capsule with Time Machine and no Wifi

  Situation.  Late 2009 iMac with OSX 10.7.5.  Used Airport Extreme since purchase in early 2010.  Use a modem cable from Arris SB 6141.  Decided to upgrade to 2 TB Time Capsule.  And the problems started.  I put TC in place... Finally, with the help of the people of this forum (thanks).  Transport CANADA does not have the internet connection to the Modem.  New to this forum I discovered that the TC does not like the SB6141.  So I put the Airport Extreme in the network and work like a charm wireless.

  Now, how can I connect the TC to the network or the Mac to use the part Time Machine?

  I tried to put the TC in Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable.  First, the iMac would not recognize the local network by removing printers and the other external USB drive; and my TV got confused on what wifi network with the same name in which to connect.

  Before I hit the reset button on the time Capsule I tried to ask what would be the right steps.

  Thanks to the folks on this forum. Thanks for your help.  Hope you all a good holiday this year.

  You should not have really big questions on Lion.

  Connect the WAN of TC port on the ethernet port LAN AE.

  Configure the TC in bridge. I disable the wireless to EI and let it run in the TC... that's much better work in this configuration.

  The Mac that will backup must really be connected to the TC in direct wireless or ethernet... This will help loads.

  The wireless work better on the TC... If it isn't, then you can swap EI... but I'd be surprised if that was the case.

• Can I start again with time capsule 2 TB existing using an existing iMac and a new iMac.

  Trying to understand several iMacs and Time Capsule.  Can I save a 2 iMacs on my Time Capsule?  I am running AutoCAD LT 1015 on my new iMac, so far, I've not put back up on my Time Capsule.  I'm worried it might be a problem with the existing backup tutorial AutoCAD on the Time Capsule, interfering with the new version purchased.  Therefore, I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

  I wonder if I can remove the Time Capsule saved since the original iMac info and start back up both machines it again?

  Yes you can. The way simplest and quickest way to accomplish what you want is clear the Time Capsule disk and then start over again with a new backup of a Mac. Then, once it's over, make a new backup of the other Mac.

  When the two Macs have saved for the first time, then both will continue back up automatically and gradually.

• Make an express airport only connect to an another AE and not the main Time Capsule.

  Hi all

  I have a Time Capsule airport and 2 Airport Express. The Capsule is far and an of the expressed airport is in the middle (call this) 1 and the other far from it, I'm calling this 2. As it is now, the 2nd Airport Express terminal connects to Time Capsule. However, it gives me much lower speed (Interruptions during the game). But if the 2nd Airport Express connects to the AE first, which is the extension of the network of transport CANADA, significantly improves the speed.

  I've tried everything. All devices are relatively new (think of the last model). I called the Apple Support, but their solution was to any wire. I asked if the 2nd AE can be configured statically, but they have quoted me their policy, which is not supported and took my info and never called back. I read the posts of the forum, but could not find any relevant information.

  Can someone tell me how I can do the 2nd AE connect only to the AE 1 (in the middle) so I can get faster speed for the game device wired to the 2nd AE? Your feedback is much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  B.

  When you try to extend using the wireless, there will be a loss of speed associated with the process.

  When the two Airport Express connect to Time Capsule, it will be more loss of speed because the 2 devices are connecting and extending.

  If the 2nd Airport Express does not connect to... Time Capsule and it connect instead to the 1st AirPort Express... then 2nd Terminal AirPort Express doesn't have to extend the network.  The 2nd Airport Express could be used for AirPlay, or to connect to a remote printer on the USB port, but it cannot 'expand' or 'repeat' in this case the signal of the wireless network.

  So you're wrong bing into thinking that the network is the extension more quickly if the 2nd Express connects to the 1st. Your network will behave at the faster speed even if you just turn off the 2nd Express.  It is not at all in any case extending the network, and you don't need.

  Here's another way to look at the same thing... using an illustration of the Apple support document for the extension of a network:

  

  IF... you can connect the 1st Terminal AirPort Express at the time using an Ethernet cable Capsule... then... the 2nd Airport Express would extend the signal from the first... but speed would be because you are trying to extend using the wireless.

  SO... connect the AirPort Express devices using Ethernet... then you will have maximum coverage at the highest speed... Since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable.

• time capsule airport cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found

  I just purchased a Time capsule airport and can't install. It flashes orange, and although that Time Machine backs up on it, and I can access the internet, I don't remember upward the back-up because I got the following error message:

  "'Airport Time Capsule' could not open the original item cannot be found".

  The printer is connected to the Capsule by USB works.

  I'm installing via an iMac.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  You first need to determine what is at stake that indicates the LED "blinking orange.

  To make your iMac:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the Time Capsule
  • In the pop-up window, all questions will appear in the status section.

• New mac connects to the time capsule but does not see the old backups

  My new MacBook Pro connects perfectly to my Time Capsule, but it is not all backups that are there.  I can't scroll through them as I can with my old MacBook Pro.  The MacBook still connect to Time Capsule well and see and scroll through all the backups it.

  No idea why?

  I wish that my new mac to be able to go back through the backups as does my current MacBook.

  Thanks for any help.

  Since El Capo OS a lot stricter security.

  You will generally not be able to simply use a backup Time old Machine as you did in the past.

  Backups made by different computers must be used via migration assistant... not just opened in TM.

  However, you can always copy a file or folder, you must manually via the Finder... ride the sparsebundle and access... If you have issues copy folder in the form of TM and then paste it in Finder... There are different ways to trick the it.

• Suddenly, MB Pro can not save on Time Capsule

  A month earlier, out of nowhere, I get a time error message:

  "Backup failed."

  Time Machine could not save in "XXX Time Capsule."   Then in details:

  "Time Machine could not complete the backup for"XXX Time Capsule".

  "The backup disk image" / Volumes/XXX of MacBook Pro (4) .sparsebundle of the Time Capsule/XXX ' could not be found (error (null)) "." "

  Have restarted the T.C. and just updated the firmware - no help.  OS X version is up-to-date.  Nothing has changed I know. Full to 98% of the time Machine, but it has been like this for a long time and just deletes old entries, as it should.

  Any thoughts?  I was able to empty the contents of the time capsule, I suppose, if being near capacity could be the culprit.   ???

  Thank you!

  Being near capacity should not be the problem, but of course, everything is possible.

  If Time Machine backups are essential for you, I suggest that you check first of all in existing ones to another drive. Then erase the time Capsule drive and start a new Time Machine backup.

  You can do both archive and delete measures directly from AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility and then select the time Capsule.
  • Select Edit.
  • Select the disks tab.
  • For the process of archiving, select Archive disk...
  • For the delete process, select erase disc...

• Time Capsule backups fail 'lack of space'

  I have two 3 TB time Capsules airport here at home network with an iMac and MacBook Pro 2.  All computers are up-to-date with the latest version of the software for Mac OS x (10.11.5) and the two time Capsules have been updated with the latest firmware yesterday (May 30, 2016).  I get the same error message that does not respect the backup, or for both, readers of time capsule due to lack of space.

  How is that possible?  I thought that TC permanently erased the last backup to make room for the next backup... aren't these differential backups?  Are a number of safeguards supposed to be kept?  Or over a certain period of time?

  Is the solution here to add a few more disk space for the time capsule airport with USB drives?

  Thanks for your help.

  Time Machine usually works very well to delete backups of older (and small) "extra" type on the Time Capsule, but if the disk is full, and all of a sudden you add lots of new data to your Mac as an update of the operating system, or enlarge them or video files... which adds a lot of new data to your computer... and then the Time Machine can not delete older files to make room the new, much larger that new normal backup which would be necessary.

  When this happens, you have 3 Basic, in order of most expensive options on the bottom:

  • Add another new Time Capsule and start backups to go
  • Add a USB to a Time Capsule and start to go back up
  • Clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with the backups with the drawback that you will lose your history backups

  In fact, there is a fourth option... that I do not recommend... and it is to go back into your files to backup using the Finder and delete older backups manually.  The drawback here is that it is a long and tedious process, and there is a very real danger that the entire file backup for Mac may be corrupt, make the file useless.

• How to see files saved on my Time Capsule airport? All I see is the name of my hardrive.

  I have recently started using Apple's Time Capsule airport and use it for my Time Machine backups. When I used Time machine in the post with an external hard drive, I can go and see all the backups and individual files, if I needed to. However, with my new Time Capsule airport, I don't see the name of my hard drive. Is there a setting someone to reveal all the files and individual backups?

  If you want to see the files Time Machine has saved on your Mac...

  Click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen of the Mac

  Click on enter Time Machine

  For more information about Time Machine, see this Apple support document: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple supported

  However, if you are asking how to see the files that Time Machine has saved time using the Finder Capsule...

  Click on the Time Capsule icon under the heading Shared in a Finder window

  A disc hard... named 'Data' unless you have changed the name... is displayed on the right

  Double click 'Data' (may asked you the peripheral Time Capsule password when you do this)

  Double-click the sparsebundle bearing the name of your Mac

  A reader named Time Machine backups will appear on the desktop

  Open the drive and go through the levels to find the files you want

• 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.

• Full Time capsule not deleting files

  I have my MacPro & iMac saved to Time Machine. It works very well to find a lost file.

  BUT, when HD 2 TB recently completed, he ceased to backup and I had to wipe the HD & start over.

  I thought that Time Machine would sequentially remove oldest files, once that it filled to the top.

  I have check the disk (Option - Menu TM) & it checked OK

  Is there a setting that I missed?

  Thanks for the tips!

  ... John

  Time Machine has no problem deleting old incremental files to make room for the new files in incremental backups.  The keyword here is 'extra', which are small files that take up very little space.

  But... and this is a big BUT... If the Time Capsule disk is full, and you try to save a large amount of data that normal... What can happen if you have recently updated the operating system on your Mac, or added large files from media or other types of files for the beams of Mac... then Time Machine, because it can not remove enough files to make room for the new more normal backup.

  In this case, you have a few options:

  (1) add an another Time Capsule and start new backups to go

  (2) add a USB key to the current time Capsule and start new backups to go

  (3) clear the Time Capsule disk and start over again with new backups

  If you don't mind clear on the Time Capsule backup history and start all over again, it is of course the most economical way to continue. If you want to keep your old backups intact, then go with option 1 or 2.

• Questions of Time Capsule, I have to rename my sparsebundle?

  I recently started having problems with my Airport with Time Capsule, and after doing a bunch of other updates of my system, I wonder if the name of my sparsebundle could ask questions.  A bit of history behind what I have made, please bear with me while I explain all of this.

  I bought my Airport with Time Capsule in November 2014 and it had worked well until February of this year.  We have changed our internet service provider, and the day that we did this, I had to unplugging everything on my desk to reorganize things.  I plugged everything in, my wifi was working fine, and I never had a problem with my Time Capsule, so I don't even think to check it out.  But then I got an alert one day say that my machine has not been saved in 12 days.  I tried to do a backup at this time, but it got stuck in the phase of "Looking for backup drive.  By trial and error, I found if I power cycle my Airport, I can get to find the reader and to make the backup, but it seems to be a temporary solution.  After a day or two or sometimes later that day after that the computer was put to sleep and woke up to the top, he would come back in the phase of 'Search'... ».

  I did some research online, but most of the post I found is from 2008, 2012, etc., which concerned me the info might be exceeded.  At this point, I prefer not to erase my Time Capsule and start over, so I'll try different things to see if I can solve the problem before having the extreme path again.  I ran the utility disk on the sparsebundle several times. The first time that I ran it on the iMac, there was an error, but the second time I ran it, all seemed well.  And I get this error when I backup my iMac and my MacBookPro. Both are set to save in the same time Capsule and it seems to be a problem with real time Capsule machines.

  I've done a lot of research and one of the things I found was that it might be my computer name causing some problems.  My computers have been appointed 'IMac of Lauriena' and ' Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro"(do not put my name in the post, but it's the same number of characters).  I've read since they have spaces and even the quotes could be causing the issues, so I changed the name of the two computers. I have them shortened to "Reenas_iMac" and "Reenas_MacBookPro" (although now I'm wondering if I should get rid of both the underscore character).  I also renamed "Lauriena airport Time Capsule" Time Capsule to "ReenasAirPortTimeCapsule".  After that I renamed the time Capsule, I made sure to enter Time Machine and reselect the drive to use for the backup, because he was looking for that on "Time Capsule of Lauriena airport.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.  I wanted to do, since my name sparsebundle imitated my computer before names, which means there are spaces and apostrophes in names.  But to my surprise, the name has not changed. Backups lasted longer than I expected based on what I had read, but the names have remained the same.

  Until today, even with put the computer to sleep all night, the automatic backups seem to work, but I fear the name of the sparsebundle can turn against me. At this point, I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.  Especially because I get nervous at the idea of not having a backup, even if it's just for a short period of time. If it turns out that I have to do this, I'll do it, but I wanted to see if I had other options.

  So my main question becomes, would the name of my sparsebundle potentially ask questions, and if so, is there a way to change this without remove it and start again?  If it helps, I use an iMac Mid and a MacBookPro 2011 Early 2011, both El Capitan 10.11.2 running. Currently, my sparsebundle names "Of Lauriena LastName MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" and "Lauriena iMac.sparsebundle".

  I'm not loving the idea of change the sparsebundle names...

  I welcome your change of name... I think that this translates into better reliability of network... but the fact is Time Machine is a little tricky beastie and unfortunately to know when it's messed up is often to the point that you want to use.

  My recommend is exactly what you don't want to.

  I'm doing everything I can to avoid future problems, and I hope I do not have to erase my sparsebundles and start over, if possible.

  Because of mutual exclusivity to avoid future problems... and starting over. Your desire is to have your cake and eat it, but one or the other will give way.

  If you want to keep your existing backups... make an archive of airport utility to a correctly formatted disk. Just keep it 3-6 months to accumulate enough history you probably never need.

  Then do a quick erase of the TC and start over. Backups can be done much faster using ethernet... one at a time... and there is no time you will be missing a backup.

  One of the things I had read was that if you changed the name of your computer, the next time that you have made a backup it would take more time to save and it would also change the name of the sparsebundle to match the computer name.

  Just to explain this... The first part is just... a backup should take a long time because it checks the files...

  The second part is not correct... TM cannot change the name of the sparsebundle to match the name... What I expected it to do in most cases, is start a new backup. Often, it's there for that... I tested it and found that it has begun a new backup... but by design, TM does NOT use the name of the computer... It is related to the UUID of the disc.

  http://pondini.org/TM/works.html

  Read great Pondini KB if you want to better understand.

  IMHO, if it's using the existing backup... then the change of name of the computer was not relevant... and backups should go... but my confidence in TM is reduced.

  Since you seem concerned to have good backups... Let me suggest a dual approach. Keep running TM as you are... It does a good job of incremental backups.

  But download Carbon Copy clone (it of about $40 and covers multiple computers in your household). You can trial for a month to see if you really like it. Create a clone bootable on USB plugged into your computer, you need to separate those for computers... but it doesn't have to be a small disc auto powered of the same capacity as the startup disk. (or larger than files with a little space) for units 1 to are fine, unless that is your Mac has Monster drives.

  Then the trial a boot from the clone... Hold down the option key when the computer is booting and select the USB drive... and you know after a few minutes you have a completely viable functional backup. All your files will be there and everything work exactly as before... because he is a true clone.
