Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

Someone has an idea of what's going on?

Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

  • Time Capsule will not respond to Airport utility

    Here's my situation.

    I have a Time Capsule as my single wireless AP.  The led is green.  All my devices are able to access it without problem.  I can all the Time Machine backups on the internal drive.

    However...

    When I try to access the TC via the Airport on my MacBook Pro (10.10.5) utility I get the next series of notifications:

    (1) when the first attempts to access it, I get the message 'read settings on the Time Capsule XXXXX'

    (2) after a few minutes of this status, I get a yellow triangle with "Device Not Found.  XXXXX Time Capsule was previously part of your network.  Check that it is still within range of your network and it is plugged into a power outlet.  Forget this device removes this network (button) [FORGET]

    When I try to access to utility Airport on my iPad Air (9.2), I am able to access the information about the hardware, but no matter how many times I enter the password, I have no answer.

    The device is not in a convenient place for a direct ethernet access, but it is possible.  Can anyone think of a reason why I can't access via Airport utility?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you did not do a complete network feeding cycle in a while, now would be a good time to do this.

    Turn off all devices on your network..., modem, router, computers, accessories, etc... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Start the modem first and let run for 2-3 minutes

    Then begin the next device connected to the modem and let it run for a minute

    Keep a minute out one at a time until the entire network is back of boot devices

    Recheck the network and AirPort on your Mac utility

  • Impossible to extend the AirPort Extreme wireless network

    I have a wireless network set up with a time Capsule airport 4th generation.  I'm trying to take my old AirPort Extreme wireless 3rd generation. I have double. Kettle has implemented, but I get the status message on the extreme that it cannot extend the network.  I can get a strong signal on my iPhone from the point that I have placed extreme itching so I'm close enough to the time Capsule.

    Could I use a connection by current bearer through my home wiring to the extreme and extend it like that?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps closely and report on your results.

  • You can access time capsule iTunes library using the Airport express

    Hello

    I I have an Apple Airport express and listen to music from my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. I have just bought a Time Capsule from Apple and saved my MacBook to this. I would like to listen to the music of my Time Capsule, as is always on.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, your new Time Capsule is not an iTunes server. This is, in itself, it can not stream audio files stored on the internal hard drive to an AirPort Express or Apple TV point. You will still need to use iTunes on your MBP to do. You would just point to the media library on your Time Capsule in the case of iTunes. (Note: However, if your iTunes library is stored on the Time Capsule as a Time Machine backup, this no longer works.) "It will take a stand-alone copy of the one that was on your MacBook.)

  • Time Capsule will not let me delete a corrupted file

    I have a Time Capsule, and a folder on the hard disk called "Temp". In this, there is a corrupted .wmv file that is grayed out and seems to be corrupted to an earlier copy. But when I try to remove it I get: "the operation cannot be performed because one or more required elements was not found (error code - 43).

    I tried this:

    • Restart in Safe Mode, did not work.
    • Disk utility will not find the time Capsule.
    • Taken from the decision-making time Capsule to force a check of the file system.
    • Tried sudo rm - rf in the terminal.
    • Reset the NVRAM.

    I still get the same error and it is not on a Time Capsule image, it is just a normal file. It does not hurt, just bugs the life outta me. Any suggestions on how to remove this file?

    There are a number of things you can try. IF you can see the file in the Finder, I would download a freeware called lock-UnMatic.  http://AlternativeTo.NET/software/lock-unmatic/?platform=Mac is the Mac version of look-a-like of FileAssassin, produced an excellent PC.  Linking the TC for your MacBook, at least temporarily, using Ethernet instead of wireless can be a good thing to do.

    Give it a try, then display your results.  Good luck.

  • New airport Time Capsule is not connect to Airport Express more.

    When I just upgraded my Airport Extreme for a time Capsule of the airport, I lost my connection to the Airport Express connected to my stereo to allow playback Airtunes wireless. Airport utility is really different and shows that the new ATC.

    Help?

    Ok. It seems that my Express and my old extreme are no longer supported by Apple? Come on guys! I tried the Airport utility download stuff to my phone, but that did not work. Alternative workaround so I did not in the trash with a value of $400 of perfectly functional base stations? I just want to have Airplay again. GRRRR.

  • Initial backup, Time Capsule will not end.

    I recently started to use my Time Capsule to back up my early 2014 MBA 13 '' again. However the initial backup will never end. The TC is not used as a Wi - Fi router; It is connected to the existing wireless network.

    When I started having this problem initially. I erased the disc TC and more fresh and Time Machine, under System Prefs, told me that the backup has been chugging along just great. Well... now, after he had all of August to reach the end of time Machine always shows me "waiting for full first backup."

    If I choose "save now" widget menu bar or if I let the system restart automatically backups TM shows Control Panel "backup x of x, XX, XX" and the second number continues to increase. The backup will never end.

    I searched the Ko of Apple and these discussion forums and not found the answer. What can I do to make this backup finish?

    TIA.

    The TC is not used as a Wi - Fi router; It is connected to the existing wireless network.

    And that's probably the problem, because Apple does not officially support backups Time Machine to TB unless you use the wireless TC, or connect the Mac directly on the TC using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

    Things can work with your existing wireless network, but it will be no help if it is not. Sometimes in situations like this, a Mac will back up OK wireless, and another Mac will have problems.

    As you try to add 'new' backups 'old' backup, Time Machine can also have issues with this, try to compare the old and new files and get confused about what to keep and do not keep. In this case, the recommended solution would be to delete older backups of the MBA and then start again and try a new backup.

    Wireless is never recommended for a first full backup. It's OK to use it, then much smaller incremental backups.

    If you try this course the existing wireless you have and still have questions, other than to try to save on the wireless TC, on the only other option to try would be to connect the MBA directly to one of the LAN port <>- on the back of the TC using an Ethernet cable.  Since you have an MBA, who does not have an Ethernet port, you can buy a bolt of lightning for the Ethernet card.  Maid in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

  • Time Capsule will only restore the disc that it took the backup from?

    I use Time capsule to back up a stick of memory, among other things. I would like to do a restore on a different memory stick. Time capsule doesn't want to do this?

    It will do so if you use the Restore To option in the interface of Time Machine, and then navigate to the location where you want the data to be restored.

    Open Time Machine

  • provider changed vague Qwest and now one device connects to the net.  Seems to not be recognizing the airport extreme.  Patches?

    Decided to change providers.  Network domestic fine fixed by extreme airport which has been consulted by 9 apple devices and windows device.  After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.  Is this a problem with my airport extreme or vague does not not with mac?  All the patches would be appreciated.

    After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.

    Sounds like Installer connected your laptop directly to a modem to put in place the new connection.  If that's what happened, then the modem will recognize your laptop, but it will not recognize the AirPort Extreme, then it will appear as if only your laptop can get a connection.

    The modem and AirPort Extreme should probably be reset and then set it up again. We'll know more soon.

    Can you provide the number of brand and model of the modem that was shipped with your service?

    What operating system uses the laptop?

  • Airport for Time Machine utility settings / Airport Extreme network

    I just added a new Airport Extreme to my former Network Time Capsule, to extend my Wi - Fi. I have read many posts and checked different websites, but I'm just getting more and more confused.

    I think we got it... and we understand. This tells us that you have added an AirPort Extreme to the core network to ensure the widest coverage Time Capsule wireless.

    My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5.

    No, unfortunately, we do not have it.  This tells us that your AirPort Extreme is the main router and that you have added a time Capsule to provide wider coverage wireless for the AirPort Extreme network.

    Sorry, but we are confused. Which of your statements above is correct?

    AirPort Extreme extends to the Time Capsule network, or have you changed your network so that the Capsule extends the AirPort Extreme network?

  • Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

    Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

    Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

    When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

    Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

    I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

    Any suggestions?

    Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

    1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

    2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

    Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

    Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

    3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

    4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

  • Can I connect wireless and wired to the Airport Extreme even? My House has plaster walls that inhibit the signal and I move to my office.

    I have a good Wi - fi network at home using an Airport Extreme and Airport Express, but am moving my office on the other side of the House. The walls are plaster that inhibit the signal. Can I connect another Express to my extreme via an Ethernet cable for the office. I still maintain the wireless network. Thanks for your help.

    Yes, it's the right way to do things.

    Only the express will not extend the wireless... you create a wireless network of the same name and security settings... This is called roaming network.

  • Will only mirror 2 views will not extend poster in 10.10.5

    I have the latest Mac Air with 2 monitors of Garland of Dell U2414H. It reflects only every monitor that is pretty useless. It will not extend the poster. The Layout tab shows also the 2 monitors of different sizes when the settings are the same for each.

    The worst part is that they will reflect only when I chose to expand.

    Same situation with my MBA from 2015.  I have 2 screens Dell U2414, two who supported the MST and DP 1.2

    I can't get their mirror, they won't have the Garland.  I also tried to connect to my MBP 2014 with the same result. The only way I could extend the poster was to connect each monitor port thunderbolt/display on my MBP. Of course, it won't work with my MBA because there is only a single port TB.  I know the only other autour work would be to run a display on the port of TB and another a USB port with an adapter, which, in my opinion, is a terrible solution there is a USB port and not a mess on my desk.  Everything I've read, this is a limitation of Mac OS X, not a hardware problem. I run Parallels with a Windows VM on my MBA and he sees both displays fine with wreath using the port of TB on my MBA.  What gives Apple? Why intentionally block monitors third-party DP working with OS X?  Frustrating.  The other frustrating thing is that there is no work around what I see-

  • I lost my WiFi signal after having placed a time Capsule in the system. Now the Airport Extreme will not recognize the system. Any ideas?

    Any ideas on why my Airport Extreme will not recognize the system after the integration of the time Capsule in my system? Continues to have a flashing yellow light after trying all suggestions of technicians from the Apple Store and Internet provider.

    Since we don't know all what has been tried, we will have to start from the beginning if you don't mind.

    What exact models are your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet? I'll assume that Extreme is your "main" router and is directly connected to the modem by Ethernet... correct?

    Do you have the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the extreme, by wire or wireless? What is your goal for the TC? In other words, will not be used to extend the reach of the extreme wireless?
