update firmware on Time capsule

HELO,

My time capsule (73300.1) airport in El Captain 10.11.5 indicate that the firmware is available. I tried to update, but the part "update" is not active I can just select "ignore". I tried to do the update with a macbook air and an iMac with wireless Internet and cable, without success. Could you suggest me a solution for this?

  • Time Capsule loses connection to the internet every day

    I have a time Capsule airport of 5th generation TB 3 (802.11 AC, A1470).  For the past year, I lost the connection Wireless to the internet once a week or more.  In recent weeks, he has taken place more frequently and often now also 3 - 4 times / day.  During the internet cut, the light on the Time Capsule still green watch, but none of my devices are able to get to the wireless (3 iPhones, iPod Touch, iMac and 2 MacBook Air, Bose Speaker).   I can restore internet connectivity by cutting and then by restarting the power of the time Capsule.    All phones and computers are running the latest software updates.  Airport Time Capsule is running 7.7.3

    We do not know if you have a service provider problem, a problem of modem or a matter of Time Capsule.

    Provider number... check with your service provider to ask them if they are experiencing loss of momentary service due to new installations of equipment on their service. They will most certainly say that their service was perfect and the problem lies elsewhere, but it does not hurt to check.

    Modem question... If the modem loses its connection to the service from the provider, even just for a moment, then the Internet will go down and the time Capsule which landed.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to test the modem.  All you can do is connect a computer directly to the modem for a few days and check the connection from time to time to see if it fell.

    If so, this indicates that you that you might have a problem with the son of Internet that come into your home to the wall outlet, if you do not want your provider to send a technician to check and test the line to come in your House.

    If the wiring checked out OK, then you may have a problem of modem and the modem will probably be replaced... regardless of his age. If the modem is more than 4-5 years old, then it really must be replaced at this point.

    If you have not replaced the Ethernet cable from the modem in a few years, it would be a great time to do this.  There are some modems that just don't get along well with Apple routers... Motorola 6121 SB, SB 6141 and SB 6183 come to mind.  What is the number and model of your modem?

    Matter of Time Capsule... If there is no connection drops during your modem 2-3 days 'test' with a computer connected directly to the modem, then the time Capsule becomes the suspect.  About everything you can do in this case is to reset the device back to the default and then put settings in place again to see if this will help the issue. If you don't want to do it... and you have an Apple Store close to home... you can take the time Capsule to them and make them run tests on the Time Capsule.

    As you can imagine, 99 times out of 100, no problem you will find when you take the Capsule in the Apple Store because the drops intermittent are by far the most difficult problem to resolve.

  • says that there is an update of firmware available for my 3 t time capsule. I get "an error occurred when downloading". How to find the problem?

    I said that there is an update of the firmware available for my 3 t time capsule. I get the message "an error occurred when downloading". How to find the problem? I have elcapitan 10.11.6 and capsule version 7.7.3

    Try temporarily, connect your MacBook Pro to your Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection... If not already, then try downloading the firmware again.

  • The update of the firmware bricked just my time capsule.

    I followed the prompt to update the firmware today and I got a 'did not finish' message type. (I don't remember what it was because I just clicked on past)

    'The airport' (which is my Time Capsule) is now Undiscoverable. I rebooted all the usual culprits (router, computers, time capsule) and did a hard reset on the time capsule itself, but still can not find airport utility "" my TC.

    Now, I'm stuck in a dystopian nightmare of the 1980s with all the promises of technology and yet none of its features.

    Help!  (I write from my phone. A device that I've recovered from the future)

    I rebooted all the usual culprits (router, computers, time capsule) and did a hard reset on the time capsule itself, but still can not find airport utility "" my TC.

    If you Hard Reset the TC, it is normal that AirPort Utility cannot find the TC... given that AirPort utility displays only devices of the airport that have already been configured.  The TC is not configured, so it's a Station of Base AirPort "nine" with the default settings.

    Start over and set up the TC to help "Assistant" Installation of Apple on your Mac or your iPhone / iPad.  After the back if you need some advice on this.

  • Why the airport Time Capsule for P/W after update to 7.7.7

    Time Capsule ask P/W when I click on it in the Airport utility to see whats connected to it, but never recognizes the P/W or back with the icon to forget.

    He returns to normal after a disconnect and a return to the restart card. This happens since the latest firmware update to 7.7.7.

    Once the Capsule is back to normal and you can access the settings in AirPort Utility, my suggestion would be to delete the current password on the Base Station and add a new password. It worked for me with the same question, and it might for you as well.

    Make sure you remember the password in the keychain in your Mac is checked, and then click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the new settings.

  • Time capsule starts only after the last update

    My Time Capsule (A1409, 2 TB) is do not restart after having applied the most recent update. Has worked for years in my small locker in the basement connected to my local network. Fan seems to be working (vibrations of feeling) which connection to the power source, but the LED shows NO color. HW-Reset either doesn't help not. Probably from power supply? As the machine is not under warranty, what are my options (all) to retrieve the data on it?

    Other options apart from opening and get the HD out and connect it to a USB box to retrieve the data?

    What is the best way to transfer the existing backups to a new capsule so that (ideally) my 4 existing Mac can pickup their backup where they went before?

    Thanks for any input / advice / tips.

    Bonus question: any practice of best approaches on the Capsule of backup for the future (for example via a connected USB drive)?

    I intend to buy a new (although my NAS (QNAP) would support Time Machine backups, I don't plan to use it, not even for a double-backup-strategy).

    Probably from power supply?

    Vibration isn't the hard drive running... the fan... feeding is very well... the jury has no... was triggered by the update of the firmware, it would have happened soon anyway.

    What are my options (all) to retrieve the data on it?

    You MUST open the TC... There is no way to access the data except in order to open it... However, you can repair the TC using this method.

    What is the best way to transfer the existing backups to a new capsule so that (ideally) my 4 existing Mac can pickup their backup where they went before?

    We recommend that you do NOT. It is often not successful and it is better to keep an archive on a USB drive for a few months and once you have a decent amount of history to put the USB back to other uses.

    You can copy the sparsebundle to each computer... Apple has a set of instructions--small as usual.

    Backups transfer TM...

    Pondini doco http://pondini.org/TM/18.html

    Any practice of best approaches on the Capsule of backup for the future (for example via a connected USB drive)?

    A TC has only a function of archive built in. Whenever you press on archive it backs up the entire TC on USB... not possible for incremental backup.

    You can work around this by using Carbon Copy Cloner... which can save almost anything to almost anywhere... However, it is extremely slow more wireless when the backup drive is plugged into the USB TC rather than on the computer... To copy all packages to TC on computer... computer to TC... TC on the USB drive.

    On ethernet, it is full duplex and should work ok... but it is always faster to plug the drive into the Mac and so you travel go simple package.

    I intend to buy a new (although my NAS (QNAP) would support Time Machine backups, I don't plan to use it, not even for a double-backup-strategy).

    I would certainly use the QNAP but with Carbon Copy Cloner rather than Time Machine. It is much more reliable and flexible... Although it lacks the possibility of several version of TM.

    A dual strategy of backup using TM and CCC is well worth... make clones bootable from all your computers on USB auto powered 2.5 "drives suitable size for each computer.

  • Cannot install/update program time capsule

    Hi all

    I have an old time capsule that I am using.

    I have reset it completely. He is sitting next to my Macbook Pro. I can reach it with Aiport app and I can get it to connect to my WiFi network. But that's all.

    He travels constantly green / yellow / flashing yellow.

    Firmware update: ONCE I got almost through it. But then she came back to a firmware even earlier. And it comes up with an error every time.

    I lost the contents of my trousseau. I rebooted the device and my Macbook dozens of times. I changed the IPv6 settings according to the sugg4estions (yes I've read). But no luck.

    All ideas are welcome.

    Michael

    You can't do what you want, unless your WiFi network has been created by another router from apple.

    This is what makes it difficult.

    Apple routers do not join any other routers... the very thought makes me light.

    Apple routers must be connected by ethernet only to their inferiors.

    They do not last forever so which means at what age is it and what model are you using? The base A1xxx please.

    Back to the factory and start again... but you must understand that you can not connect to Mac unless you run the main router to the CT or double networks ethernet.

  • Time Machine does not work with Time Capsule, after update of Yosemite to iMac 2011

    My Time Capsule features all work except when trying to access files with Time Machine. It is new and can be linked to an update in Yosemite. Tried rebooting both without success.

    You can mount the drive of TC in the finder?

    The old backup Time Machine may be usable via a direct opening so the sparsebundle to give it a try.

    If not, do you want to achieve... you want to migrate your files? Have you tried the migration assistant?

  • Use the second router to extend the network to Time Capsule

    I have a v7.6.7 running Time Capsule 1 TB and older airport. I'm hoping to add a second router in a new location, and I use an ethernet cable from the TC at the new router (TP Link Archer C5), updated to the latest version of the firmware. The IP address of the TC is 192.168.1.1.

    I have set up my router C5 as follows: allocation of IP 192.168.1.199, value DHCP = off, and I connect a cable between the TC ports and port WAN (not Internet) available on the C5. In the C5 wireless settings, I tried both using the TC SSID and pw and creating a new SSID and pw. In both cases, the network will work for a short time, but eventually the entire network, including the TC, stops working. I made no changes to the parameters of the TC on any trial.

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router? If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router?

    Yes. That would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

    The key for a roaming network parameters are:

    • The 'primary' router must be configured as a router. In other words, it must have active NAT and DHCP services.
    • All other routers used in a network of roaming must be reconfigured as a bridge.
    • All routers must broadcast a Wi - Fi network that uses the same network (SSID, aka) name, and the type of wireless security, and the password.
    • All routers must be interconnected by Ethernet. To provide Powerline adapters using an Ethernet connectivity should also work.

    If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Should not really which is the main in the roaming network.

    I think at this point, your current circuit line. To check that, I would suggest that you consider to bring back the router C5 in the same room as you have the TC. Then connect it directly to one of the LAN of the TC ports. Complete the entire upward to a mobile network and test it. If everything works, bring back the C5 in the desired location, and then try again.

    If it fails, then the circuit line will be tested to check that it provides a solid 'Ethernet' connection between the adapters.

  • Can I use my time capsule for wired Internet?

    The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

    The back story: I have an i7 iMac late 2009 that has worked perfectly until that somewhere around OS x Lion. The update came, and suddenly the wifi became shotty; intermittent connectivity that could last from 2 hours to 2 minutes and often, the computer would suddenly turns off. So, I just took an Ethernet cable from my gateway wireless comcast directly to my time capsule and then another was running for the TC to the iMac. It worked perfectly when the router and the iMac were in the same room. Since then, we moved and there is only a single coaxial connection of work in the new House, and this room that can hold your desktop. Now, I searched high and low for a fix for the problem of wifi, without success; reset the PRAM, change the wireless channel reset wireless packet, you name it I tried it (with the exception of a reinstallation of firmware lion before the airport summary-pretend). I really do not have the money to have someone come run an Ethernet cable through my walls now or to understand the situation of coaxial cable (I tried to do it me but there are about 10 outputs and the room that I want to use seems to actually be connected directly on a former satellite Hughes-NET on the side of the House). Now, this wireless to the dream of the Ethernet connection is my only option... Anyway I can make it work?

    The fundamental question is, I can connect my time capsule to my wireless internet router and then use the capsule to connect my iMac to the Internet with an Ethernet cable?

    The answer is not quite as simple.

    Yes... If your 'hand' wireless router is another Apple wireless router.

    No.... If your 'hand' wireless router is a part 3.

    However, you have two options if you have a 3rd party router that provides to your wireless network:

    (1) add an AirPort Express and it set up to 'join' the network wireless provided by your 3rd party product. Then, the AirPort Express can provide wired Ethernet cable of the Time Capsule and the iMac can connect to the time Capsule using Ethernet as well.

    (2) If you can not run the Ethernet cable... (always the best performance option)... a pair of Ethernet over Powerline adapters could be able to send the Ethernet signal via power lines the existing AC in your House.  In other words, the theory with EoP devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you must just adapters.

    An adapter would be located near your router 'primary' and plugged into an outlet. A short Ethernet cable connects to the router to the EoP adapter.  In contrast, an another EoP adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the time Capsule and a short Ethernet cable connects from the adapter to the time Capsule. Then, the iMac connects to time Capsule using a different Ethernet cable as well.

  • Cannot set up time capsule

  • Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

    Hello.

    Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

    Concerning

    Simon

    Hello Ladro Maltese,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

    This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

    Keep your base station to day.

    After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

    Best regards

  • 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...

    The only thing that seems to restore connectivity is when I unplug my Time Capsule (version 7.7.7) and then plug it back in.  Can anyone offer solutions and the potential causes?

    What ISP modem or router do you use? Brand and model please.

    Who is the provider?

    How did the TC connected to it? What mode it's in, bridge or router?

    Is the wireless on the ISP router turned on?

    You have an excessive number of routers wireless around you?

    Use diagnostics wireless on a computer to check.

    You never reset the TC at the plant after the update of the firmware?

    If this isn't the case, please do so now. Redo the installation in accordance with the following instructions.

    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 Yosemite.

    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. (try to keep names < 10 characters)

    If the problem is using wireless TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels like this helps.

    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... the IPs derived in all directions when Yosemite do not remember his name for 5 min after a reboot done for poor network management.

    I highly recommend this method on bridge of situation where you have the ISP router.
