• Change of name affects NetBios of Mac Time Capsule?

  Hi all

  I noticed that my netbios name is the one I always used with '-2' after him, I don't know why and can't remember if I chose that, but I basically changed it back to what it was without the extra part. However I've done backups to my Apple Time Capsule with the "nom_netbios-2". Now that I've renamed "nom_netbios", is that going to affect my Time Capsule? Sorry for the question but I'm quite new with Time Capsule. Thank you!

  Check if you have backups for two Macs with similar names, rather than backups for a Mac as follows:

  Open any window in the Finder on your Mac

  Look for Time Capsule icon under the title shared on the left side of the window

  Click the Time Capsule and a folder called 'Data' (unless you have changed the name of the Time Capsule disk) appears in the box on the right

  Double click on data to open the player. You may be asked the peripheral or the administrator Time Capsule password if you have not done this before

  Now look to see if there is a file "sparsebundle" for your Mac, or there are two

  Ideally, you do not want to only see one file with the normal name of your Mac

• 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

• Time Capsule access denied

  Hello.

  After upgrading to os x 10.11, airport utility does not recognize the time capsule password so I can't access it and its hard drive.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  Reset the TC factory and redo the installation.

  No files are lost on the drive hard when you do this.

  Here is my recommendation for installation in later operating system.

  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 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.

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

• How can I add a password to an existing network of the time capsule?

  How can I add a password to an existing network of the time capsule?

  I guess you mean that time Capsule has already been configured to provide a signal of wireless network, correct?

  Do you mean that the network has no password at all right now... or... do you mean that the network has an existing password, but you want to change the password?

  What operating system are you using on the iMac that you list in your profile?

• Cannot access hard drive Time Capsule... Password not accepted

  The device ' Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd generation).

  Subject: Unable to connect to the HD TC

  I've reconfigured our old Time Capsule (CT) for use by my daughter dependent of the College.  What with the TC seems to work fine (IE. Internet access and WIFI configured etc...).  I reformatted the HD to start from scratch.  And last updated as indicated by the Airport utility application.  The intention is to create a new WIFI area with backup (Time Machine).

  When you set up Time Machine I stressed the internal HD of TC, and then it says "connecting to etc...".  After a few seconds, a new mold box presents itself to ' enter your password for the server (name of TC) for Time Machine can access.  I enter the HD password I had setup in Airport utility with nothing doesn't.  I checked all passwords with Airport utility "Show passwords".  Tried all the passwords, and of course which none worked.  And Yes, I even try the previous passwords even if I had changed their

  I noticed that using the Airport 6.3.5 utility running on my OS X 10.10.5 machine I can see and change the TC.  But when I use another computer running 10.11.6 is the Airport 6.3.6 utility does not see the TC?

  Thoughts and comments please?

  Next step may be reset to the factory settings, but feel something going on here...

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  (1) try to reset the password for the utility disk AirPort

  (2) open TextEdit on the Mac and type the password in plain text in an editor window.  This will allow you to ensure that all the keys on the keyboard are recognized.  I've seen cases where passwords fail again and again because of a problem with a wrong key on the keyboard or a habit of typing that makes you believe that you enter the password one way, but the result is something else.  Be able to actually see that typed password allows to check that.

• How to reset the password for the system administrator for Time Capsule?

  I need to do a system restore to 2008 MacBook my wife of my 2014 Time Capsule, and I'm stuck at the system administrator password prompt. It does not accept the password to base such as revealed by the Airport utility station > base station > show passwords on my MBP, which is able to save and enter Time Machine, even if the TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password. I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

  Although TC is configured to use individual accounts rather than a single disk password

  You must use the right of the user and the password in this case. NOT the password from the drive.

  I'm nervous about any base station reset option in case I spoil my backup. How can I me?

  Reset complete... It will not damage the backups somehow... It simply returns to the default values.

  Let me recommend to you if you want to continue using the TC in this way... (useless IMHO). Please do an export of the configuration before factory reset you.

  

  With the help of user and passwords in the TC is near useless. It only affects the side of the router...

  If you need more security using encrypted backups... but the reality is... the security more you add less useful the backup is likely to be. As you have now discovered... When you need it... you need as clear and clear as possible.

• Password protect an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule

  I have a WD passport external hard drive connected to my time capsule, so my wife and I can easily share files. I have the external hard drive connected through the locked time capsules WiFi network so someone in the House can not access however if they walked the time capsule and not plugged in the external hard drive they could walk away with it. When I try to password protect external hard drive then time capsule may not recognise, and so I can't use it as an external hard drive that is shared. No one knows how, to password protect the external hard drive connected to the time capsule as if someone physically stole the external hard drive it would be locked, but have yet still recognizable by Time Capsule when I plugged?

  Hope that makes sense.

  The only way to do is to encrypt the files on the computer.

  And you both use the same password. Unfortunately, this probably means that you can not share files directly... The TC is not a SIN... never, it was designed for this purpose so there no controls to help admin file sharing.

  If you create a DMG file on WD drive that encrypt you and you can copy files to and from... but only one at a time.

  Another method would be to use a specific software... Watch chronosync.

  http://www.econtechnologies.com/Chronosync/guide-sync-with-disk-image.html

  I don't him have not run in this configuration... so, you have to experiment if it manages what you want.

  I think that there will always be limitations on concurrent access from multiple computers.

• change password on time capsule

  Can someone tell me please how to change the password on the wifi of the time capsule? Thank you

  Are you still using OS X (10.4.10) on your Mac that you put in your profile?  This operating system is about 10 years, and it is hard to remember that far back.

  If you have updated the operating system on your Mac, what system it runs right now?

• Problems when you give Time Capsule, a soft reboot (to make a new password)

  I'm giving my Time Capsule a new password because I forgot the old one. I tried to give it a soft reboot, then go to AirPort Utility and change the password. The problem is that when I reboot, my Time Capsule disappears from the AirPort Utility. Am I something wrong with it restarts? What can I do?

  I got El Capitan and the new version of AirPort Utility.

  Remove the TC of the network and plug in ethernet on the computer...

  Do a complete factory reset and reconfigure the TC... no files are lost to do.

  You may need to Exchange Airport utility over ethernet... Click on the

  Other Wi - Fi devices in the upper left corner of the screen... When you connect through ethernet, you will see that it is now possible to switch to ethernet... It's 1000% more reliable than using wireless. The TC after a reset will appear here (1) that will allow you to start the installation program. I think you are missing at this stage.

  

• Cannot add password to 1 St gen time capsule

  I have a time capsule of first generation and is gone in there to add a password WIFI arrives but no device is able to connect (imac, ipad, iPhone, etc).

  If I leave the unsecured network everything works as expected. In an area rural so that can work but not optimal.

  Have tried all WPA2, WEP and WPA/WPA2 and all have the same behavior.

  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You also change the name of the correct wireless network?  If this isn't the case, that will really mess up things since the devices will try store parameters to connect to the same network with and without a password name.

  As it is, your "remember" as network devices requiring no not a password, so that they do not connect with a password.

  Probably not what you want to hear at this stage, but it's a miracle that a 1st Gen Time Capsule still works. Most don't have 18 months and very little is ever beyond 36 months.

  The Capsule will fail at any time now, so if you value the data on the Time Capsule, connect a USB to the Time Capsule and copy the content on the Time Capsule above the USB disk drive as soon as possible.

• How can I use my time capsule as a hard drive on an existing network accessed through a password

  How can I use my time capsule as a hard drive on an existing network, storage, accessed through a password?

  We need more information in order to provide the right solution and Setup for you.

  You already have another router Apple... as an AirPort Extreme or Airport Express that provides the signal of your wireless network?

  If not, what is the serial number and model of your modem?

  Finally, what operating system is installed on the device you will use to install and configure the time Capsule? If it's a Mac and you're not sure what operating system it uses... click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac, and post back with number of Version of OS X that you see there.
