• New connection airport Time Capsule with others

  Quick question I have a new airport Time Capsule. I'm trying to connect my 2 extremes of 2 airport with the new unit. They are in 2 different places in the House, I see them in my utility, but they're more connected... Lost... Help?

  Are you using ethernet to connect or wireless extend?

  When you installed the TC you replace an existing router that used EI or did you do a clean install?

  If you want to extend wireless simply reset the two AE at the factory and start on with installation... they should auto select this option to expand the TC in wireless... but you must start with them the two reset otherwise it will mess up the network.

• Can I connect airport time capsule on UPS?

  I have a time capsule airport with 3TO.     Because of frequent failure, I want connect to UPS supply.   My UPS has a transfer time of 10 ms to transfer power on battery power during a power failure.     This glitch is acceptable for the time capsule.   I'm worried about the hard drive in the time capsule.

  I've never had any problem at all with a UPS in 5 years with a time Capsule, and we have electricity here maybe 5 - 6 times per year due to thunderstorms.

  Hello

  To connect the laptop to the WLan, it must ensure that everything is enabled and configured correctly.
  You should check these points:

  -activated the WLan with the WLan switch and the FN + F8
  -don t use any 3rd party config tools WLan if you use the WLan configuration options own Vista
  -for the first test WLan disable the security settings of the Wlan router
  -configure settings to laptop as good SSID and search for your wireless local area network
  -After that the laptop is connected to the WLan router, you can turn back the security settings (encryption, mac address filtering, firewall, etc.)

• Airport Time Capsule 2013 loses Internet connection

  Hello! Help, please! Bought a new airport Time Capsule 2013, hung, everything works well, but it several times a day, disconnect from the Internet. Saves only the reboot. It is very annoying ((the provider said it sees it's requests on a regular basis but does not correct. Apparently she must ask for options and more them do not ask, and she periodically asks for new, but do not correctly. It is for the USA, and I am in Ukraine. I have a wedding? (((((

  Apple routers can be very problematic on some connections... You use PPPOE with any kind of modem? Apple routers have proved to be unreliable with this setup for some people. In particular the fiber connections simply do not work very well.

  For you help, we need to know what kind of internet that you have and the modem... brand and model may not mean a lot but the actual type, is it a pure modem or a router? Or do you not need a router at all. If it is an installation of fiber you plug straight ethernet of ONTARIO at the time Capsule?

• How can I connect my Airport time capsule to the nbn optus

  I just got the NBN Optus connected and time capsule doesn't seem to work, can anyone advice on how to connect. I connected to a modem (Sagem Fast 38640op) with cable but the mac does not expect a return to the top

  You should do a full factory reset on the TC...

  Repeat the installation... and it should work correctly in bridge and create a wireless network.

  The Sagemcom really poor wireless but you can leave it on... use it for your network wireless of comments.

  This is my normal configuration guide... but there are a few specific pieces to network problems with the operating system later as Yosemite or El Capo.

  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.

• Airport Time Capsule poor connection

  I had the Comcast modem and Time Capsule works well for 4 years.  Comcast sent a new modem 6 weeks, who as I discovered is also a router.  Cannot maintain stable Time Capsule communication.  I basically have the choice of the two wifi settings, one for the modem/router to Comcast that works well, one for the time Capsule, which does not.  My backup depends on the connection of Time Capsule.  Tried to fill the Comcast modem - no internet at all.  I did a soft reset resets, hard, even a factory reset, nothing helps.  Also "upgraded" to El Capitan at about the same time.  Sigh!

  Ask Comcast to replace the modem/router or gateway that they sent you... is not required. .. .with a simple modem... you don't need.  (There will be only one Ethernet port, as in the example below).

  

• I just can't get my Airport time capsule on the internet.

  I bought an airport Time Capsule and a MacBook Air, have set up their, I access my files inside the airport TC, but I can't access the Web, away from home.

  What should I do?

  It is necessary to have a Mac at home connected to access?

  Setup using Airport utility it does not appear to me the ability to access over WAN. How can I do?

  I already configured the back to my mac option.

  Can someone help me?

  Please take a look at the following airport user tip for, at least, three methods to access your Time Capsule from a remote location.

• Create wireless network with airport Time Capsule

  I replace my ISP provider rented the modem / router with a modem, I bought and I would use my gen current airport Time Capsule to set up the wifi network. I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  I am running OS X Capitan 10.11.3 on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.

  Thank you!

  Dale

  I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

  Hmm.  A time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so what works for one should work for the other and vice versa. You might be looking at old operating instructions?

  Since you've decided to add a new modem, Time Capsule will be reset back to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new modem.  Apple installation "wizard" will guide you in installing the time Capsule, by appointing a wireless network, set up a password, etc, so the process is very easy to name.

  The installation provided with your Time Capsule Guide goes on how to set up the time Capsule.

  After resetting the time Capsule to factory default settings, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

  To get the "Assistant" Setup running, just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for the new AirPort base station. Just below that, click directly on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme, but you would see on your screen time Capsule.

  

  When you click on the Time Capsule, the next screen that is displayed looks like this, except that you will see a picture of a Capsule of time on your screen.

  

  Simply click next to get the process going and follow the instructions.

• 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.

• HOW THE AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE WIRELESS NETWORK IS PROTECTED?

  I implemented the airport Time Capsule, using a DSL modem connected to the internet as its bridge.  MacBook Pro was used for initial set up by the bolt of lightning to Ethernet connector and then disconnected and works perfectly.  Now, I would like to use Wi - Fi for my Samsung phone not iOS.  On the Samsung wireless I connect to my home network using a password.  Well, I don't think that a password was never set.  How can I configure my wifi at home to establish a password?   I don't think that the modem settings should enter in solving this for me, but I'll add that the modem required a static IP address be entered for this connection when its router features have been disabled for the connection of bridge.

  If the Time Capsule (TC) provides the wireless network, then you can secure it using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the TC and then, select change.
  • Select the wireless tab.
  • In the wireless security, select the type of security. I highly recommend that you choose: WPA2 Personal
  • Enter a password in the field password wireless. Enter the same password in the verify password.
  • Select Update.

  

• Unable to connect to WD Mybook Duo when it is connected to Time Capsule

  I have a new Western Digital MyBook Duo 4 (2 TB per disk) to I want to access any of the three Macs in the House.

  Every Mac use the Wifi in my Time Capsule airport station. My book Duo is plugged into the USB jack on the back that is provided for external hard drives.

  However, all Macs you will see the Duo MyBook, none can use it.

  Info: Every Mac running El Capitan.   The Time Capsule and MyBook Duo running the latest firmware.

  In the Finder, every Mac can see the airport Time Capsule, under 'Shared' in the left pane. By clicking on it, each Mac can see the time Capsule HARD internal disk and external HDD my book Duo. When I click on it, I get the same darn message each time: "the operation cannot be performed because the original for"My Book Duo"item could not be found."

  If I connect the MyBook Duo directly to the USB port on any Mac, everything works fine. But this isn't the way I want to connect.

  The most convenient airport Time Capsule is supposed to effectively (via its USB port) allows you to have an external HDD on a network, and that's how I want to use my book Duo.

  Can someone help, please?

  Hello

  Did you do the drives MyBook Duo are in the right format? It must be formatted in HFS + (also known as Mac OS extended (journaled).

  Hope this helps, good luck!

• Implemented new airport Time Capsule

  When defining the new airport Time Capsule, I think you have the ability to create a new wireless network or extending the existing.

  What is the best choice and why?

  Thank you

  Create a wireless network is used only when an Ethernet cable connects permanently to another router or a modem to time Capsule. Like the illustration in the Installation Guide.

  Extend a wireless network is used only when the Capsule connects wireless to another router from Apple.  This parameter cannot be used if you have a 3rd party router providing your wireless signal.

  Bottom line... Use the option create a wireless network with an Ethernet cable... unless... you already have another router from Apple and you want the time Capsule to connect wireless.
