Time Capsule no longer works in conjunction with the ISP modem

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and my apologies if similar topics have already answered - rushed for this post, so I did not have too much time to browse the forums - please point me in the right direction if other threads exist!

I'm in the United Kingdom and Virgin like my ISP... I had my Time Capsule for almost a year now and if it had connected to the Virgin Super Hub (dial-up Modem mode), without any problems. A few weeks back, I started to notice the drops intermittent in the Internet, until it finally went down all together without apparent reason. Now I can no longer use the Network Time Capsule using a Macbook, laptop computer Windows, Smartphone, Tablet, or Console games (I can always connect to the network, but there is 'no internet'). After talking at length with Virgin they basically blame the Time Capsule and say they cannot help me because it is not their technology. Since cutting the Capsule and turning back on the Super hub wireless, everything works again. I tried the simple things like rebooting, check connections etc., but to no avail.

I have a lot of backups on the time Capsule (I use it for work purposes), so I'm afraid to play with things too in case they are deleted, but now desperately need to get operational new... Should I look for to reset the Capsule of time and/or remove/reset the wireless network I created when the first set up (if everything resets is possible without deleting the stored files)? Any help or advice would be much appreciated... Sorry for the long post!

Thank you guys so much!

The first part is to ease your mind... the TC is perfectly ok with reset... nothing can be deleted by using the reset button or reset everything in airport utility... the only way to erase the hard drive is to clear its contents through the disk tab in the airport utility.

We noticed a lot of problems with the WAN port on the TC... And a bunch of modems... This can happen a day or day 366... but once it starts, it doesn't go away.

Connect the TC in the Virgin hub working in router mode full... you're going to fill the TC.

1 factory reset the TC.

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.

2. make a new configuration of your Mac or iOS devices.

With the wan of the TC plugged into the hub of Virgin by ethernet it should choose default wire bridge... If this isn't the case, manually change the configuration.

3. once it is bridged leave the connection of the Virgin hub since the LAN of the TC port WAN... and see how it goes...

If it works ok for the backup then continue to use it... If it's still questions... Please post screenshots... or consider to resume to apple... in the United Kingdom, you should have a legal guarantee of a couple of years... much longer warranty Apple offer directly.

  • Time Capsule no longer works

    After a software upgrade of time capsule (proposed automatically on the Airport utility), it doesn't work anymore. The led remains off. I turned he walks several times, pushed the button to boot as well, but it has not changed anything. The model is the 4th generation (A1409). Could you please help?

    Thank you

    Pull the power cord to the back of the time Capsule

    Wait a few hours

    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the time Capsule

    If the time Capsule still fuel not on, the power supply or main circuit board has failed and the time Capsule should be replaced.

  • Time capsule has stopped working

    Time capsule has stopped working. No orange or green light. Food is the device. Is there a fuse that might be blown? Reset it would bring to life?  Is it possible to get the backup data stored on it?

    Is there a fuse that might be blown?

    Sorry, but no.

    Reset it would bring to life?

    No, unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to reset the time Capsule if it will feed at all.

    Is it possible to get the backup data stored on it?

    Open the Capsule and remove the hard drive. Place the disk into a USB to SATA cart and which connect to your Mac.  Here, I'm assuming that the Time Capsule is not yet covered by warranty or the AppleCare, as it opens the warranty, if it is still covered.

    If you could post back with the model number of the Capsule of time... it is on the lower part of the device, probably embedded in the foam pad base, and begins with an 'A' followed by four numbers... we may have some additional information or advice for you depending on the model you have.

    There are a lot of things I want to mention, but do not have the time to.

    I'll start with the fact that you are using soon be deprecated MySQL instead of MySQLi or PDO.

    Second, you can't have your markup in the head section of your document as in

    Third, none of the session variables will not work if you start the session after your conditional statements. In other words, session_start() should be at the top of your document.

  • I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

    Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

    Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

    After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

    Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

    Set up AirPort Extreme again

    Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

    Hello

    Do you have any application installed on the computer security?

    Method 1:

    If you do, I suggest you to disable anti-virus and check if it solved the problem.

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If the step is not enough, then you can go to the method 2:

    Method 2:

    I suggest you go through the steps and check.

    a. closed Windows Media Player12.

    b. Access Services [table-> system and security-> administration-> Services tools]

    c. find the service named "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"

    d. stop the Service manually.

    e. Locate the "UpnP device host"service. Stop the service and restart it.

    f. run "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" now.

    g. close windows all associated and the Panel. Open Windows Media Player, right click on a playlist and see if the Play option lists the TV. Try to play now.

    Hope this helps and keep us posted.

  • Time Capsule visitor files a network (associated with possible network connectivity)

    I have one Capsule of 3 TB I bought in early 2015.  I had a very frustrating problem from the beginning with her down my network, apparently at random.  I tried a lot of different things, and nothing worked, so I post to see if anyone else can help.

    The TC is plugged directly into my UVerse router/gateway via ethernet and I put the TC to have a static IP address.  The Uverse router firewall has a rule for the TC and TC shows how a router cascade in the rou UVerse.  I have wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz when put in place on the TC.  I have a Mac Mini connected directly to it via ethernet, but it's a recent thing (maybe I was hoping that it would help).  I have also a PC attached to it for internet access only windows.  I have two Macs backup via Time Machine, well I tried to disable backups on one to see if that has had an effect (it didn't).  In fact, I have a whole list of notes on things I tried in the last two months, since I started to really tackle this problem seriously.  In particular, I've tried steps 1 to 5 in this link: Time Capsule constantly default to be recognized by Airport utility if I have not tried a factory reset.  I'm running the latest versions of OS X and iOS.

    The basic model is that I have the TC set up and work.  The wireless works fine.  Time Machine will back to it fine.  I can see the TC in the Finder.  I can open the AirPort on a Mac and iOS utility and it is 'green '.  All right.  Then, at a random time in the next few days (the longest one since I started to take notes is 7 days), the TC will drop from the network.  The without wire will be there and still works fine, but Time Machine will not be able to find it for backups, it will not be displayed in the Finder.  AirPort (iOS or Mac) utility shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and says that the device is no longer part of my network.  I have to unplug the TC and plug it back again so that he can return to the top.  As soon as I did that, everything will return to normal and be fine for a few days, and then he disappeared again.

    Tonight, however, I connected to another event.  I was watching something on my AppleTV when he started the buffering.  I grabbed my iPhone to see if my internet has declined.  More or less on a whim, I checked the airport utility and noticed that the TC showed a green dot but 'Internet' showed an orange dot.  A minute or two later, the AppleTV started playing video again, so I checked again airport utility and this 'Internet' time, has a green dot and the TC showed the usual brand yellow triangle / exclamation indicating it was abandoned.  I noted the time and then went back to look at what I had looked at.  About two hours later, I went to the power of the TC cycle and understand what to try next.

    The AppleTV is not connected to the CT.  It connects to the UVerse bridge (it is connected to the ethernet on the back of one of the set-top boxes UVerse).  This means that the loss of the internet was for everything in the House, not only the TC.  Something about the process seems to have caused the TC to drop from the network somehow, but everything remains recovered him very well.  Looking the UVerse bridge, it seems rebooting once since then (about an hour and a half after the TC dropped) but not by anyone in the House (I don't know if perhaps AT & T pushed something in the modem or if it is defective).

    So, no idea why loss of connectivity would cause the TC had to give up in the network?  Of course, it also appears, I may have a problem with the gateway Uverse, but if the TC goes down when everything is ok, it suggests a problem here as well.

    Since you seem to have picked up some things from my post...

    We will continue the process... This is where life becomes difficult. It is not uncommon to what you feel.

    Just to get the full picture.

    The TC is plugged directly into my UVerse router/gateway via ethernet and I put the TC to have a static IP address.

    I would prefer you to the TC using the bridge... using standard DHCP... (you can leave the Uverse for him apply a DHCP reservation).

    Once you do that... move the cable that connects the TC to the WAN Uverse on TC to the LAN port... It is fine in bridge...

    If it always falls I have a more serious way to do. It is much more complicated, however, because apple has removed all controls on sensitive router. But I think you will find that the WAN port is dubious on the TC. It can appear at different times and with different modems/routers...

    Alternatively, you can take the TC to Apple and have them replaced... It took me three goes to get a decent one. And I'm not even sure that the fault will not be displayed again in the near future out of warranty.

    But it could appear perfectly when Apple test it... and the replacement can be just as bad... in other words it is a deeper problem that Apple realize.

    Another thing tricky, I discovered.

    Airport routers stick to the local domain... even packed... they do not Pick-up area of the main router.

    This means that some devices will lose the connection because they are on the wrong field. It is possible to change the field on the Uverse make local as well... Since apple has not all the controls of the airport. I did some time ago on my main router and I can hardly give you direct evidence that helps... as many adjustments it is one of the many small things that are in addition to the lack of reliability that can help if you get the other 20 on the right. I think it helped...!

    From there on, we need to work a little more on maybe the ethernet connection... or the LAN port 100 Mbps gigabit Uverse? I think I'd rather see you adjust the speed of 100Mbps as long as your internet speed is less than that of course for gigabit.

    Give me some screenshots of the configuration... It is also useful.

  • Time machine no longer works after update to Mac OS Sierra

    Backup Time Machine has stoped working on two of our Macs, I've updated for Sierra (MacBook Pro 15 "beginning 2013 and iMac early 2016"). They don't backup but are blocked for days now in the 'backup preparation' (connected via gigabit ethernet). The iMac uses our backup NAS (Synology DS216j) and a USB HD (Maxtor), now it can't mount the USB HD or, as the MacBook Pro, get to the point of actually perform a backup on the NAS backup server. All computers (all six of'em, five Mac and a Windows thing) was perfectly support towards the top, but those updated for Sierra no longer.

    Someone else who has had this experience and even has a clue what to do about it?

    Hi Dr. freon!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are having problems with the Time Machine backup. I know how it is important to be sure that the computer is properly back up at any time. Check out this article which talks specifically of macOS Sierra: If Time Machine still at the stage of "preparation". He has some suggestions of what can cause problems with the backup of your stay to "prepare".

    Another option is to read this article on macOS Sierra: Time Machine troubleshooting.

    See you soon!

  • Time Capsule backups stopped working

    I started successfully using airport Time Capsule to back up our 2 iMac and my Macbook Air in October.  My backups of my MBA have stopped working and I did not successfully back up from December 20.  Backup start and just stops part way through it, with the error message:

    Time Machine could not complete the backup of 'airport' Time Capsule.

    An error occurred when copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk.

    Last successful backup: 20 December 2015

    I tried to run the disk on my MBA utility and the TC backup space.  RAN in two places with success.

    There is a lot of room left on my TC - 2.06 to 3 TB are available.

    I'm on OS version 10.11.2 (that I have loaded 15 dec).

    It is also interesting to note that the backup of my MBA seems to progress very slowly, even though I have excellent wireless connectivity.

    Both of the iMac (the two 10.11.1 running) always execute backups successfully.

    My suspicion is that there is a problem with 10.11.2 backups, but I can't find anything online to suggest.  Any thoughts on what could be the cause of the problem and how to fix it?

    Above or upgrade to a different operating system change can certainly spoil Time Machine...

    I recommend that you try again. If the files are located in the old backup that you want to keep copy the sparsebundle to a different location, for example a USB stick plugged into your computer. Or you can make an archive of the TC to save all files. You will need a large USB plugged into the TC that holds all the files there. Archive is a utilitarian Airport.

    Then in the finder delete the existing TM backup and start a new.

    I would seriously think about using a third party backup... for example, Carbon Copy Cloner... you can download and test for free for a month... It is just more reliable.

  • Since the upgrade to El Capitan my automatic backups on my Apple Time capsule do not work

    Everything worked fine until I upgraded to El Capitan... now I don't have enough space for back ups on my time capsule (1 TB is) and a couple of years.

    What can I do simple?

    Thank you

    You have 3 options.  Ranked in order of the most expensive on the down...

    (1) add a new time Capsule and start backups goes to this device. It is also the easiest option.

    (2) add a USB hard drive to the existing time Capsule and start going that animate the backups. Next best option in terms of simplicity

    (3) delete the existing and any time Capsule hard drive start over with new backups. Not too difficult, if you're good by following the instructions

  • New Time Capsule ranging from Windows to Mac with file sharing.

    OK, so we bought a new time capsule recently and my family migrates slowly over Apple products.

    My question comes from having moved all our old saved files from various sources during the share of time capsule. Currently, the file system is FAT32 because that's what it was by default and I don't see an option to adjust it.

    "My wife has a time machine backup works fine already on the device, but when she opens the 'data' /: Time Capsule" on the Mac, we don't see any of these files that I put in there. What should we do, she can be seen on Mac.

    What OS is the Mac running?

    Can you please show me what you can see on the Mac... because the screenshot of Windows with all the deleted folder names is not helpful at all.

    I assume you can open all windows files... did you create the folder in windows?

    Let me suggest that you create the folder in the Mac. then copy the files through him, to the windows machine.

    Apple uses file permissions, and permissions have become significantly more restrictive of the end. Windows seems to ignore... but you might need repair permissions until it works.

    NOTE... the appearance of the windows FAT32 is not real... It's because of the way windows reads the network of the TC function... the drive is not formatted FAT32 in the TC... It is HFS +, a Mac format... offered by SMB (windows network blocks) which windows reads with FAT32.
