Re: [WAMUG} 2012 time capsule - replacement suggestions

[Julie Bedford]

Thought I would add this one to the story.  I purchased my Time Capsule a few 
years back, but didn’t installed it for at least a year, the idea was to add it 
onto my second computer.  When at last I got it installed, it never worked.  I 
took it back to the reseller, who opened it up to find a dead hard drive, but 
the interesting thing was it was covered in dust and the date on the hard drive 
was about 6 years older than the Time Capsule itself.  One can only imagine !!  
Of course, it was out of warranty and had to pay the price.

Re: [WAMUG} 2012 time capsule - replacement suggestions

[Philippe Chaperon]

Good afternoon Peter and All, 

My computers are in a room upstairs where it gets very, very hot. During the 
day when our Air Cooler is on downstairs, the room becomes less hot  but I keep 
a smallish table fan pointing at the back of my iMac, making sure the air flow 
runs from the bottom to the top of the machine.  I keep the fan running all 
night, when doing back-ups etc, to keep the machine within acceptable 
temperature range. This seems to work for me keeping the CPU temp to 56º C at 
the moment. 

P.S. I do the same for my Power Shield UPS (Defender 1600) but with a much 
smaller table fan. Works well too.

Best Regards, 

Philippe Chaperon

The heat over the past few days did have an effect on my iMac though - 
yesterday morning iStat Menus told me the CPU was running at 95°C, which 
explained why the mouse had a mind of its own and very few Safari extensions 
were working properly, and I couldn’t connect to my Bluetooth headphones. 
Turned it all off overnight  and everything is back to a normal 50-60°C today. 
Could have cooked bacon with it yesterday.

Re: [WAMUG} 2012 time capsule - replacement suggestions

[Peter Hinchliffe]

The hard drive on my Time Capsule died about 18 months ago, but the TC is still 
working fine as a WiFi hub. I was using the hard drive as my Time Machine disk. 
I have since replaced it with a 5Gb external USB Drive, but the WiFi is working 
as well as ever.

The heat over the past few days did have an effect on my iMac though - 
yesterday morning iStat Menus told me the CPU was running at 95°C, which 
explained why the mouse had a mind of its own and very few Safari extensions 
were working properly, and I couldn’t connect to my Bluetooth headphones. 
Turned it all off overnight  and everything is back to a normal 50-60°C today.

Hi Gary

Last year I had my time capsule replaced with a refurbished one.  Check with 
the Mac shop in Joondalup.
If the hard drive is faulty, you can always replace this yourself.

Re: Alternative to Time Capsule

[Pete]

Hi Peter, thanks for that. Sadly the brain of the TC is dead in my Brother in 
law's unit, we can hear the drive spinning up each time it re powers but no 
lights and no Wi-Fi available from it. If only it were just the HDD failed, I 
could swap it out, I put a 3TB drive into mine many years ago as 1TB was too 
small for my expanding family.

The hard d
rive in my TC died several months ago, but the networking hardware still works 
so i’ve replaced the TM functionality with a couple of 3 & 5 Tb USB drives. 
Fortunately these are now cheap enough to make this feasible. I’m looking at a 
NAS eventually but managing with the current set up at the moment.

Alternative to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

H there, my Brother in law has two iMacs each of which we’re backing to his old 
style flat Time Capsule which is now dead - tried all of the reset methods 
numerous times. It’s cactus. Some options he has are to buy a used tower style 
TC or go to using his iiNet NBN modem Wifi and attach a backup NAS drive to it 
and set Time Machine to push backups to the NAS. 

Does anyone have experience with either and if the NAS route is all ok, is 
there a recommended brand of NAS?

Does Migration Assistant work ok in pulling back to set up a new iMac from a 
backup on a NAS? Are there any downsides to a NAS solution.

The TC is such a good device it is a shame that Apple no longer produce them. 
There may be some new-old stock laying around or a cleared known used one would 
be ok I suppose.

Re: Time Capsule WiFi security setting

[Peter Crisp]

Hi folks, I have resolved the issue with my connection to my home WiFi network. 
The solution laid in the Family Zone box which (was) sitting between my NBN 
modem and my Time Capsule as a traffic filter. It has provided a good service 
but something shifted a couple of weeks ago - I don’t know what it was but all 
of a sudden I was having all sorts of issues connecting to it, yesterday my Mac 
book would not connect to it at all (I was having to use my NBN Modem WiFi 
network for internet access). I could see the TC WiFi network but errors each 
time I tried. Others in the house were not having this problem. My iPhone also 
same thing - could see it but not connect. I think a silently deployed firmware 
update from FZ may have resulted in this shift. Anyway, I decided to remove the 
FZ box as a way of eliminating its effects to tell me if that was the cause. I 
spent half an hour on the phone to FZ yesterday and didn’t get it solved there. 
Problem is now gone (box removed), Kid’s devices which have the device 
installed FZ app on are still in control (as it reaches to wherever the device 
is on the internet) so the FZ box at home doesn’t provide any greater control 
(only fixed devices like Apple TV, Playstation are the added controls that I 
now don’t have). I am seeing Tx rates >300 mbps as well so lightning fast. 

I’m happy with this outcome.

Pete.

Re: Time Capsule WiFi security setting

[Peter Crisp]

Thanks for that Ronni. So I conclude the problem is something my side and not a 
broader issue. I have a 5GHz network only selected - I was unaware that the TC 
could issue both frequency networks concurrently. Will look into how I can do 
that.

Well done the Pies too! I hope for your sake they can progress further. Their 
form last night was good, but Port (and Brisbane) were very strong looking in 
their final.

Re: Time Capsule WiFi security setting

[Peter Crisp]

HI folks, a bump to see if anyone else can shed any light on this one. I’ve 
done some further reading on this and the Enterprise setting may be better from 
the reading I’ve done. The reading on the Apple discussion forum indicates that 
Apple hasn’t deployed WPA3 firmware updates for TC’s yet and not even sure if 
they will. I am up to date with the latest firmware available for my 3rd Gen 
TC. 

I am puzzled that I am seemingly the only one in this community with this issue 
as I read all threads coming in and no one else has indicated an issue. This 
makes me think the issue is unique to me and my network config is something to 
be tweaked a bit (Radio button and other settings perhaps).

What I did note is the WPA3 security recommendation arises due to iOS13 and 
this issue in my house arose (for all of us in the house) the very day (and I 
can’t help thinking connected) to the fact I was given an iPhone 8 from my 
niece and I restored my backup from my iPhone iPhone 6 (iOS 12.x.x) and in so 
doing I moved into iOS 13.x.x  where this WPA3 WiFi security recommendation 
arose. But my sons both have iPhone 11’s (how does that work!!)already on iOS 
13.x.x and now iOS 14.x.x.

Time Capsule WiFi security setting

[Peter Crisp]

I have a Time Capsule in my house and a 25m ethernet cable to an Airport 
Express down in my sons room configured as an extender (Ethernet up the wall 
cavity, down the house then back down cavity in his room). Just recently I have 
been having issues with some devices in the house connecting to the WiFI 
network from the TC. This morning I tried on my iPhone 8 again and whilst it 
connected a small message underneath said “Weak security - WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) is 
not considered secure. If this is your WiFI network, configure the router to 
use WPA2 (AES) or WPA3 security type”. 

I checked in Airport Utility and I only have WPA2 (Personal or Enterprise, I’m 
set on Personal) as an available security setting - not sure what the (AES) bit 
means but do not have WPA3 either - so I can’t actually make a change to this 
setting. As a result of this I have set up the WiFi network for the NBN Modem 
for an alternate WiFi network in the house for when difficulties arise. No 
problems with that one. The problem seems to be with iOS devices not OSX 
devices - so the TM backups are ok as they need to be connected to the TC and 
not the NBN Modem. 

Anyone else have these issues and any tips on what I can do to resolve this one?

Regards

Pete.

Subject:Re: When Time Capsule no longer functions

 Hi Peter

 I had a Plan B but …

 My 5 year old Time Capsule had indicators of pending failure
(intermittent orange light, auto restart of TC) towards the end of
last year. Web searches showed that the Netgear wireless router AC1750
(R6400v2) with an external hard drive was promoted as a TC/TM
replacement. It was available as a post-Christmas sale special at
around $160. Several times during the week it took me to install it I
was ready to throw it away and buy a genuine $420 Time Capsule. It
does work reliably as a WiFi router. I don’t use it as a Time
Machine. It’s network printer facility needed constant care and
attention. Its support documentation …!

 Hence Plan C - buy an Apple Airport Express ($300) and use an
external hard drive for TM.

 As it turned out it was probably the WiFi/router component of the
Time Capsule that was about to fail. I’ve had the TC in bridge mode
with both the internal drive and an attached external drive for Time
Machine, and a network printer - and use it as an ethernet hub too. No
problems at all. 

 A five year life expectancy is probably industry standard. I try and
keep things alive a little bit longer.

 I know much less than Daniel about future parts/support for a
superseded (but new) TC. But for ease of mind and comfort “for the
foreseeable future”, go for an Apple TC!

 Cheers
 Alan

drive. (done this for a few clients). A NAS can be used as a Time
Machine backup - some specially say they’ll work with it - e.g.
Synology off top of head.

years (as that’s legally how long they have to support hardware -
same as other manufacturers for parts of computer hardware).

Re: When Time Capsule no longer functions

[Alan Smith]

Hi Peter

I had a Plan B but …

My 5 year old Time Capsule had indicators of pending failure (intermittent 
orange light, auto restart of TC) towards the end of last year.  Web searches 
showed that the Netgear wireless router AC1750 (R6400v2) with an external hard 
drive was promoted as a TC/TM replacement.  It was available as a 
post-Christmas sale special at around $160.  Several times during the week it 
took me to install it I was ready to throw it away and buy a genuine $420 Time 
Capsule.  It does work reliably as a WiFi router.  I don’t use it as a Time 
Machine.  It’s network printer facility needed constant care and attention. Its 
support documentation …!

Hence Plan C - buy an Apple Airport Express ($300) and use an external hard 
drive for TM.

As it turned out it was probably the WiFi/router  component of the Time Capsule 
that was about to fail.  I’ve had the TC in bridge mode with both the internal 
drive and an attached external drive for Time Machine, and a network printer - 
and use it as an ethernet hub too.  No problems at all. 

A five year life expectancy is probably industry standard.  I try and keep 
things alive a little bit longer.

I know much less than Daniel about future parts/support for a superseded (but 
new) TC.  But for ease of mind and comfort “for the foreseeable future”, go for 
an Apple TC!

Cheers
Alan

Re: When Time Capsule no longer functions

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Peter

Quick reply, as just walking into another job.
But basically - either a wireless type hard drive. If the Time Capsule works 
but internal drive “fails” then you can use a USB drive plugged into it and 
“ignore” internal drive and use external drive. (done this for a few clients). 
A NAS can be used as a Time Machine backup - some specially say they’ll work 
with it - e.g. Synology off top of head.
Just a few suggestions there.

I would imagine Time Capsule will keep going for a while. As it’s just a “box” 
that keeps working. Only thing may be Airport Utility that stops being able to 
work. But I don’t see that happening for many years to come. Apple will keep 
parts for Time Capsule up to 5 years (as that’s legally how long they have to 
support hardware - same as other manufacturers for parts of computer hardware).

Kind regards
Daniel

When Time Capsule no longer functions

[petercrisp]

HI WAMUG users. I have been following a current thread but Daniel's
comment about the Time Capsule demise in that thread on the horizon
made me type this one. If I were to buy a spare Time Capsule, would
the software be compatible forever even with Apple no longer
supporting it?
What is Plan B in the event of the Time Capsule failing (hardware
failure) for those that do not have a spare Time Capsule - and then
eventually when no spare exists? 
Regards
Pete.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni thanks for this. I figured the other volumes would have a logical 
explanation. 

After having run the Disk Utility> First Aid process now my connection to the 
Time Capsule has me connecting as “Peter Crisp” straight off the bat - without 
the need for entering password. It does take a moment to connect but at least 
now the password is remembered. I think I can for now assume that my Guest 
status on my own network has been returned to my true identity. Thank you and 
Neil for tips in getting there.

Regards


Pete

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

What you are seeing in Keychain Access below is all rather normal.

Re: Disk Utility - High Sierra
A standard macOS startup APFS container does contain additional volumes to the 
volume with macOS installed on it. 
You can list these with diskutil apfs list. The standard configuration of such 
a container is as follows:

disk1s1, the volume you boot from, mounted at /, shown in Disk Utility as 
Macintosh HD
disk1s2, ‘Preboot’, not mounted, hidden
disk1s3, ‘Recovery’, not mounted, hidden
disk1s4, ‘VM’, mounted at /private/var/vm, hidden

The last 3 are grouped as Other Volumes in Disk Utility. 
They're required by macOS and shouldn't be removed.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni, firstly, yes I hope the WCE can do the proper business. We shall see.

I had a browse around Keychain Access the other day but was to wary to edit 
anything so I didn’t. But I had a look again now and there is no Keychain First 
Aid routine in the latest OSX High Sierra. Some web browsing confirm Apple 
quietly removed it due to some potential vulnerabilities. In the Keychain 
Access window there are numerous rows of information representing “Name_Time 
Capsule” some with Kind is network password and others Airport Disk password. 
Attributes on thee network password kind say Account: No User account (dated 
2017) and the Airport Disk password  kind say Account: Peter Crisp - but these 
are dated 2014.

So I ran the Boot volume First AId and it completed successfully.  In running 
that I noted that in the storage representation bar for the Mac HD has a “Used” 
section to the bar (101GB) and “Other Volumes” (2.82GB) and the rest Free 
146GB. I don’t know what “Other Volumes” is. Is that normal?

Regards


Pete

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

I just caught up with this thread... sorry for late reply.
But have you tried ‘Keychain First Aid’?
Since problems with passwords are likely due to the keychain, open the 
"Keychain Access" utility and run the "Keychain First Aid" routine (available 
in the "Keychain Access" menu) on all keychains. 

After this, if the problem still persists, try running a permissions fix on the 
boot drive using "Disk Utility", which should ensure all files on the boot 
drive are properly accessible.

Regards,
Ronni

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Further to this, I might add that I am on High Sierra 10.13.4 (MBP Retina 2013) 
and those that have experienced it previously indicated it was with the recent 
update/s and for those people it was not an issue previous to recent updates.

Perhaps the sequence of updates for me along with other extraneous things has 
lead to this and being limited to those others duplicating that scenario.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni, yes you’re right. I have been doing this every time opening the 
Finder, Press “Connect as” and then enter password. Every time I do this, I 
select the “keep my password in my Keychain”. Every time I do it again, it asks 
for me to enter password again. So I do, and also select the “keep my password 
in my Keychain”. Each time entering the password, I am successful as being 
connected as “Peter C...” and not Guest so it is ok in that respect. But the 
fact that the keeping of password is not being kept is forcing me to enter it 
each time. 

I did some Apple Support reading and other’s have experienced the same failure 
to have the keychain remember the entered password, means each time it needs 
re-entering. Is there a way to remove the password from the keychain and start 
the process over again and perhaps trigger the remembering process for the OS?

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Peter,

I probably should explain more re my last reply.
In the Finder sidebar under shared is your ‘Pete’s Time Capsule’ (whatever you 
named it). 
When you click it, then click ‘Connect As’ you are attempting to connect to the 
server ‘Pete’s Time Capsule’ click connect put the password for the Time 
Capsule and then you see the ‘Data’ folder and on the far right side of screen 
under ‘Kind’ is ‘Sharepoint’

Hi Peter,

You have File Sharing setup on your Time Capsule Network.
Look in the Finder Sidebar under Shared.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

Hi Peter,

 

I am unfamiliar with “Sharepoint” but Wikepedia seems to suggest this is a 
web-based, collaborative platform that integrates with Microsoft Office 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharePoint .

 

However, I’m not sure if/how this might relate to your problem!

 

Hopefully wiser heads can point the way ;o)

 

Cheers

 

Neil

Hi Neil, I’ve checked and there is just the one network which I have in place. 
It is the same network as all devices/MBP’s in the house connect to. 

 

Just a note, on some occasions I see that the connection is a “Sharepoint”. No 
idea what this means but maybe helps in the solution process.

If you have both networks set-up you should see them in your network 
preferences when you go to advanced, under the wi-fi tab, eg I can see my main 
wi-fi and my iphone hotspot – even though the hotspot is not currently on, it 
is remembered.

 

If you CAN see two networks here, you can re-order them to set your preference 
(as it says – drag networks into the order you prefer) – maybe the guest 
network is currently “preferred”.

 

Of course, your problem/issue may be something else entirely – but it should be

Hi Peter,

 

Going from memory (some time & several OSes earlier) I set-up a time capsule at 
a rellie’s house with a main network and a guest network that visiting 
grandkids could use – they appeared as separate networks (rather than 
logging-in to the same network as user or guest) – I gave mine quite separate 
names to distinguish which was which.

 

If you have both networks set-up you should see them in your network 
preferences when you go to advanced, under the wi-fi tab, eg I can see my main 
wi-fi and my iphone hotspot – even though the hotspot is not currently on, it 
is remembered.

 

If you CAN see two networks here, you can re-order them to set your preference 
(as it says – drag networks into the order you prefer) – maybe the guest 
network is currently “preferred”.

 

Of course, your problem/issue may be something else entirely – but it should be 
an easy check.

think what may have changed this but wonder how I can actually alter this so my

a Google around but didn’t see anything specific to interrogate this one.

There are 5 of us in the house - all with a Macbook and even my kids Macbooks 
default connection either has their name or Administrator. Whilst this isn’t a 
security concern to me with them so much but I am puzzled why the network 
“sees” me as a Guest in my own home - so far as the TC connection goes!

I am able to do all other admin functions on the network so my apparent admin 
status seems in order.

Any tips from anyone?

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

No I wouldn’t delete anything until we can work out how you are now connected 
to your Wi-Fi Network as ‘Guest’ instead of your administrator name you have 
always connected with. 
Are you connected to the 5GHz on your dual-band  Network, not the 2.5GHz? 
Have you made any changes to your 5GHz or 2.5GHz Network.
Are your Time Machine backups working correctly?

I have never heard of this happening before. I’ll give it more thought 
overnight and tomorrow as I have another job to finish tonight.
I’ll get back to you if & when I can think clearly about this issue.

Regards,
Ronni

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni, thanks for your response. I really don’t recall setting up a Guest 
network - having had it for ~8 years I can’t recall. In all that time I have 
never used a Guest network nor seen the need to so I am happy to delete it - 
but don’t know how to. If I did delete the Guest network, would that prevent me 
auto connecting and hence interrupt the TC backups going on? I’d prefer to 
delete the Guest network after I’ve resolved the auto connect as Admin.

Regards

Pete.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Hi again, with further reading on this it might be due to a bug in the OS 
Sierra (10.13.4) I am running to do with Auto mount of the TC. Once I set the 
connection to “Peter Crisp” the TC shows as mounted in the Finder (little 
upward pointing triangle), but the frustration is that the next time I open a 
new Finder window, I have to re-enter my password to reset the connection to 
“Peter …”. Each time I tick the remember in Keychain option but it seems to not 
remember it.

I suspect the others in the house don’t have this issue as they’re all lagging 
behind in their OSX update status and the more recent updates are where this 
has arisen.

Regards

Pete.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,
Did you setup a Guest Network at some stage? Using a guest network allows you 
to share you connection with guests to your house without endangering your main 
network with all of your devices. 
It appears as it you have two separate wi-fi base stations instead of one.

Regards,
Ronni

Connection to Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

I have just last night realised that my connection to my Time Capsule in my 
house has me connected as “Guest”. I think this is just a recent thing as I 
would have recognised before now over the 8 years odd I’ve had it. I can’t 
think what may have changed this but wonder how I can actually alter this so my 
connection is in my own name - as I am known to the network as? I had a bit of 
a Google around but didn’t see anything specific to interrogate this one.

There are 5 of us in the house - all with a Macbook and even my kids Macbooks 
default connection either has their name or Administrator. Whilst this isn’t a 
security concern to me with them so much but I am puzzled why the network 
“sees” me as a Guest in my own home - so far as the TC connection goes!

I am able to do all other admin functions on the network so my apparent admin 
status seems in order.

Any tips from anyone?

Regards

Re: NBN and Time capsule

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi there,
We have the NBN up and running though it's fibre to Node.
My old adsl 2 speed 1.76 mb/s .86 mb/s
Now 23.47 MB/s 4.7 MB/s
Quite a difference!

The Voip phone works and so does bridge on the Time Machine!'
Yay!

Hi Ronny,
Unfortunately we're going to be Fibre to Node.
We are also having VoIP phone at the same time.

Re: NBN and Time capsule

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Rosemary,

Are you on NBN FTTP (Fibre To Premises/Home)?
Are you having a Fibre Phone connection as well?

You DON’T need their Modem!
The Network Termination Device (NTD) - NBN connection Box acts as the Modem.
Basically, the NTD is a modem, so you won’t need a modem anymore! 

However, to share your NBN connection with all the devices around your home 
that use the internet, you will need a Wi-Fi router, also known as a gateway. 
You already have the router -  a Time Capsule.

I have been on NBN for a number years now.
I have a 3TB Time Capsule connected directly from Time Capsule WAN port (Wide 
Area Network) to the UNI-D 1 (Port 1) via  CAT-6 Ethernet cable and my Phone to 
UNI-V 1

My Airport Dual-Band Network settings - Router Mode: DHCP and NAT remain the 
same and all my Mac computers (3), iPad & iPhone connect without any problems.

My NBN Plan with Westnet is:  Residential 8 Plan (100GB + 100GB) + 50/20Mbps 
Turbo pack + Fibre Phone - $94.90 mthly.

Ronni

NBN and Time capsule

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi there,
NBN is evidently near here, so I've applied for it with Westnet and it
should be connected in a week or two, with their provided modem.

Will I be able to connect my Time Capsule in the same way. At present, I
run the wifi from the TC rather than my Netcom modem.

Hi Barry

When my Capsule flashes the orange light, I download the update and then it 
goes back to green.  Hope that helps

Re: Time Capsule green light

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

Are you sure you have the Time Capsule connected correctly to the NBN 
termination Box and setup correctly?

To see if your Time Capsule requires a firmware update:
Open Airport Utility
If AirPort Utility shows a numbered red badge next to the name of a base 
station, click it for details.
If the base station is protected by a device password, you might not see a 
badge until you click the base station and enter the password.
If your base station is already using the latest firmware, no firmware updates 
appear in AirPort Utility.

If a Firmware update appears - Install the Update 

More information here: <https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201519 
<https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201519>>

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Time Capsule green light

[Barry Sexstone]

Peter

I have an Airport Express which has been exhibited a similar problem over the 
last couple of months.  The green light changes to a flashing orange but 
everything else behaves normally.  Sometimes I get fed up with it flashing and 
reset it by turning it off and then on again but it seems unnecessary.  I am on 
ADSL2 not NBN.
I will be interested in other’s comments

Time Capsule green light

[Peter Crisp]

Happy New Year to you all, I have a Time Capsule I have had for ~6 years now 
and it has been bulletproof, even with an up sized 3TB drive. Recently I have 
converted to the "Malcolm Turnbull" NBN and it has been pretty much an improved 
service. I have noticed however, since the change to NBN, my TC green light has 
frequently gone to the orange flashing light. It may be coincidence that it 
seems to coincide with the NBN swap but I see online that the most plausible 
cause is the need for a firmware update. Is this something that others have 
experienced?

It behaves 100% as it has normally behaved with all Time machine backups 
working and all streaming and network functions to AppleTV etc behaving as 
normal so there is nothing out of order in operability in the house.

Anyone have any occurrence like this themselves and is the firmware update a 
cinch? I also have an apple airport Express functioning as an extender which 
also is behaving as normal but it's indicator light has remained green the 
whole time during pre and post NBN installation.

Regards

Apple are concentrating on the social media and entertainment customers. That's 
the way forward...
They seem to be forgetting us customers that actually want/need to do 'Real

Blimey, Apple dropping another great product! :(
The Apple Thunderbolt Display was discontinued in earlier 2016 and now Airport

Re: Lifespan Time Capsule?

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Rod

They can vary. I’ve got one that’s about 5 years old and it’s still going 
strong. But does vary.
Have you tried doing a hard reset on it? (plug it in via Ethernet and access it 
that way and then do a full restore on it).

Some routers will only work with printers etc, so not every model will “share” 
a Hard Drive, but in theory yes this should work (depending on model).
Best way is to look up the model and see, or the old “try it and see” :)

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Happy to help   :-)

Keychain access has been covered many times on this forum, but I guess it’s one 
of these things that you don’t think about until you need it. The next best 
thing after knowing how to use it is to make sure you have it set up to sync 
with iCloud, especially if you have multiple Macs.

The password should be stored in your keychain. Launch Keychain Access from 
your /Applications/Utilities folder. 

Just type “Time” in the search field at the top of the window and you will see 
all the entries for your Time Capsule. 

Double-click on the most recent entry if there are more than one and click the 
check box at the bottom of the resultant window next to “Show Password”. It 
will ask you for your administrator’s password, then display your latest Time 
Capsule password. 

If you don’t know your administrator’s password then you’ve got more problems 
than just your Time Capsule...

Hi Bill,

Are you wanting to Erase everything on the Time Capsule's Internal Disk?
If so you use Airport Utility - There are two main versions of Airport Utility: 
5.6.x and 6.x (Lion 10.7.x and later).
As you are running Snow Leopard you would be using version 5.6

Airport Utility 5.6.x
1. Open AirPort Utility 5.6.x
2. Select the Time Capsule whose disk you want to erase.
3. Hit the Manual Setup button.
4. Click the Disks icon button.
5. Click the Disks tab.
6. Select the disk (not a sub-volume, the disk itself).
7. Click Erase.

Cheers,
Ronni

My aim was to remove CS3 which was successful using your instructions, then
I wanted a CS3 free backup so when I get mavericks installed I can then
restore all.

Re: Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Further to this, I might implement a combination of attached external drive per 
Ronni's note but also interested to hear if this TC drive upgrade is a logical 
thing to do as well.
 
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_upgrade_your_time_capsules_hard_drive

I've done HD upgrades before and comfortable with the process, this link 
suggests it's pretty easy in the TC as well. Anyone done this before and 
stories to tell?

Sorry to procrastinate further on this but I like the challenge of exploring 
options.

Pete

 Hi Peter,
 
 Make sure it is a large external drive, you need at least double the size of 
 the MBPs you will be backing up to this external drive.
 As I have mentioned to you before I backup ONE MacBook Pro using Time Machine 
 to my 3TB Time Capsule! 
 
 'How to Format  Partition your Drive to work with Time Machine':
 
 1. Make sure to copy any files on your hard disk to another location because 
 reformatting will erase them.
 
 2. Click on your computer Hard Drive’s icon. 
 Select Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility.
 
 3. In the left hand column, click on the drive icon for the name of your 
 external drive. 
 Make sure you click on the First icon, not the Second Level ‘Volume’ icon.
 
 4. Select the Partition Tab.
 
 5. Select the Format Type from the Format drop-down menu.
 Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (recommended).
 
 6. Click on the Options button.
 
 7. Select the type of partition you want to use:
 GUID Partition Table - for bootability on Intel-based Macs
 Apple Partition Map - for bootability on PowerPC-based Macs
 
 8. Click OK.
 
 9. Click the Apply button.
 
 Then turn ON Time Machine from the panel in System Preferences on each 
 computer

 Hi Peter,
 
 Your previous response Re: Time Capsule capacity and OS X limits - on 13 
 December 2013 was:
 Thanks Ronni, I'm going shopping for a 3TB TC 
 
 
 Obviously you have changed your mind ;-)
 
 You can attach a USB drive to your Time Capsule. Then you can back up to 
 the USB drive instead of the Time Capsule's internal HD (see question #Q2 - 
 How do I set up Time Machine to back up to an Air Disk on my Time Capsule). 
  http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ2.html
 
 If you have multiple Macs, you can back some up to the Time Capsule's 
 internal drive, and others to the USB drive. 
 
 If you need even more space, you can connect multiple USB drives via a 
 powered hub, and back up different Macs to each. 
 What you cannot do, however, is have one Mac's backups continue from the 
 Time Capsule's internal HD to a USB drive connected to it, or have the 
 backups for any one Mac span two drives!
 
 Time Machine should back up to most Hardware RAID sets (multiple drives in 
 an enclosure with a single connection to your Time Capsule). 
 
 But Time Machine will not back up to a Software RAID set (where you combine 
 separate drives into a single volume via Disk Utility).
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

 You can attach a USB drive to your Time Capsule. Then you can back up to the 
 USB drive instead of the Time Capsule's internal HD (see question #Q2 - How 
 do I set up Time Machine to back up to an Air Disk on my Time Capsule).  
 http://pondini.org/TM/TCQ2.html
 
 If you have multiple Macs, you can back some up to the Time Capsule's 
 internal drive, and others to the USB drive. 
 
 If you need even more space, you can connect multiple USB drives via a 
 powered hub, and back up different Macs to each. 
 What you cannot do, however, is have one Mac's backups continue from the Time 
 Capsule's internal HD to a USB drive connected to it, or have the backups for 
 any one Mac span two drives!
 
 Time Machine should back up to most Hardware RAID sets (multiple drives in an 
 enclosure with a single connection to your Time Capsule). 
 
 But Time Machine will not back up to a Software RAID set (where you combine 
 separate drives into a single volume via Disk Utility).

Re: Time Capsule

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

Make sure it is a large external drive, you need at least double the size of 
the MBPs you will be backing up to this external drive.
As I have mentioned to you before I backup ONE MacBook Pro using Time Machine 
to my 3TB Time Capsule! 

'How to Format  Partition your Drive to work with Time Machine':

1. Make sure to copy any files on your hard disk to another location because 
reformatting will erase them.

2. Click on your computer Hard Drive’s icon. 
Select Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility.

3. In the left hand column, click on the drive icon for the name of your 
external drive. 
Make sure you click on the First icon, not the Second Level ‘Volume’ icon.

4. Select the Partition Tab.

5. Select the Format Type from the Format drop-down menu.
Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (recommended).

6. Click on the Options button.

7. Select the type of partition you want to use:
GUID Partition Table - for bootability on Intel-based Macs
Apple Partition Map - for bootability on PowerPC-based Macs

8. Click OK.

9. Click the Apply button.

Then turn ON Time Machine from the panel in System Preferences on each computer

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Time Capsule

[Peter Crisp]

Ok, all noted thanks Ronnie. Off to see The Boss shortly so unfortunately I 
can't get to this tonight.

As usual your message is very clear. My 1TB TC currently has 34GB free, with 
just 4 mbp's backing up!!!

Time Capsule capacity and OSX limits

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Muggers, I have a 1TB Time Capsule which has the backup Sparsebundle files 
of the 4 Macbooks (my Wife's plus 3 kids) currently in my house. I have bought 
a MacBook Pro for middle child for school next year and as a result I can have 
his hand-me-down (hand-me-up??) Black Macbook (not such a bad thing as it has a 
120GB SSD). Anyway, the TC is nearing it's 1TB capacity limit as it is, but 
once I set up the 5th Macbook for me and associated TC backup, it will exceed 
the capacity of the TC.

My question is, if I attach an external drive to the TC USB port, can I select 
that external drive as the destination of my 'hand-me-down' Macbook backup OR 
should I be replacing my TC with a 2TB or 3TB unit? Maybe the external drive 
needs to be dedicated to Time Machine Backups instead of other data as well, 
which would be fine.

Compounding the above problem, my wife's recent (earlier this year) upgrade to 
a 13 MBP resulted somehow in a peculiar doubling of the size of the 
sparsebundle file for her MBP - not sure how it happened. In any case, I am 
inclined to make a clone of the MBP, then blow away the sparesebundle file, and 
set up a new TM backup and so reduce it back to the ~230GB of her current data 
instead of the current 533GB sparesebundle file for a 500GB MBP!! Is this 
intended action the best way to fix the oversize sparsebundle issue I have for 
my wife's MBP? I'm not worried about any lost data as the cloning in it's 
current state will be good enough given the data content.

I am also interested in knowing what OSX I can get the hand-me-down black 
Macbook upgraded to. It is a Macbook 4.1 model, currently using OSX 10.6.8, 
2.4GHz and 2GB memory. If I have to stay with Snow Leopard, thats fine, for my 
purposes it will be ok till I get a 13 Retina MBP early next year. Is 
Mavericks or ML beyond this machines capability?

Apologies for containing a number of questions in this but for context, these 
issues are not able to be completely separated into discrete subjects.

Regards

Re: Time Capsule capacity and OSX limits

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

1. I would definitely recommend you purchase a 3TB Time Capsule for Time 
Machine to backup 5 MacBooks. I use a 3TB Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Generation) 
to backup ONE (1) MacBook Pro. 
Time Machine needs a lot of free space to work efficiently. Problems occur when 
there is not enough free space on the disk.
http://store.apple.com/au/product/ME182X/A/airport-time-capsule-3tb

2. Re: your wife's doubling the size of her TM backup Sparsebundle would have 
happened by NOT selecting Reuse Backup when setting up for the first backup 
of new machine.
I would delete your wife's sparsebundle from the Time Capsule Disk.
I seem to remember sending you details some time back how to delete 
sparsebundle from Time Capsule.

3. Re: Macbook 4.1 model is (13-inch, late 2008) 2.4GHz and 2GB memory 
 I would suggest you install more memory... It can take 6.0 GB.
If this is the MB you have (or going to have) its Maximum OS is Mac OS X 10.7.5

Cheers,
Ronni

Mavericks-Time Capsule TM drives don't appear on the desktop anymore when a backup is in progress

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Mavericks Time Capsule/Time Machine backup users ,This was troubling me! Why my Time Capsule/Time Machine backup was not showing on the Desktop when it was Backing Up.Even with the appropriate box checked in Finder  Preferences  General.I could see it in /Volumes, and see it was backing up in 'Time Machine Buddy'widget - but not mounted on the Desktop.This is a 'New Feature' in Mavericks, Time Capsule TM drives don't appear on the desktop anymore when a backup is in progress.Externally attached TM drives being mounted do appear apparently - I have not checked this as I use a Time Capsule for my TM backups.For better or worse the animation of the TM icon is gone. It's just the new look for Mavericks. Apple have decided this is best!Whether it is to accommodate energy efficiency or to easily permit Time Machine backups to occur during Power Naps?The Time Machine menu in the menu bar lets you know when a backup is happening in the background.While a backup isin progress, the menu icon includes an additional arrow (Two Arrows in the "clock face") When Time Machine is not backing up (only One Arrow in the "clock face")Yikes I will be in real trouble with WAMUG, I've included a 19KB attachment.Daniel, I never send attachments... just this once... and it is only very tiny :(Cheers,Ronni17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHzQuad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt"2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @7200rpm HDOS X 10.9 MavericksWindows 7 Ultimate (undersufferance)

Re: Mavericks-Time Capsule TM drives don't appear on the desktop anymore when a backup is in progress

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Brian,

My Time Machine backups have always been working perfectly in Mavericks, that 
has never been a problem.
My post was about the Time Capsule / Time Machine backup not showing on the 
Desktop when Time Machine is backing up.

Do you use Time Machine to backup to a Time Capsule Data Disk... Or do you use 
Time Machine to backup to an external drive attached to your MBP?

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Mavericks-Time Capsule TM drives backups - retitled for accuracy

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Ronni

I back up to a 2TB Time Capsule in extension(?) mode, my household wireless 
network includes an Airport Express as the main access to the modem, Airport 
Extreme - in 'extension mode' - for other external HD storage - movies/tv, and 
MacMini for the TV.

After updating to Mavericks TimeMachine wouldn't backup, it acknowledged the 
data disk but timed out when backing up.

Apple Support Community had this listed as an issue, so I thought I would 
mention it incase other members had this backup issue.

After turning the entire network off it self sorted, found the data disk and of 
it went merrily backing up, with the oldest back acknowledge as 22 Dec 2012 - 
so all is good.

One improvement I have noticed in Mavericks is when my MBP wakes after opening 
lid or button tap the password accepts the first character instead of 
highlighting it blue and erasing it as the second character is entered! so, no 
double entering in the first character very time.

Hi Brian,

My Time Machine backups have always been working perfectly in Mavericks, that

My post was about the Time Capsule / Time Machine backup not showing on the

Do you use Time Machine to backup to a Time Capsule Data Disk... Or do you use 
Time Machine to backup to an external drive attached to your MBP?

[Severin Crisp]

In contrast, my 2TB Time Capsule which backs up both my iMac and my wives 
Macbook was perfectly happy with the changeover after the updated and just 
carried on seamlessly, when I turned TM back on and pointed it to the Time 
Capsule disk.I seem to be one of the lucky ones in this.

Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

At last I have my new iMac.
21.5 inch i7 with 16 GB RAM.
Flippin marvellous.

I tried setting up with my original Time Capsule but all I got was a message to 
tell me there is no room for this.
I guess it wants to start again because this is a new and different Mac.

So I deleted the largest file from the disk (can't recall it's name but there 
were only 2).
It has spent the last 3 hours cleaning up with no indication that it is 
actually saving.

Does anyone know what the correct procedure is it get it running with a new Mac 
?
Do I need to re format the drive and start again ?
Will the cleaning up finish and then save afterwards ?

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.
And I wish you all a happy new year (when it arrives).

Regards,
Stephen Chape

Re: Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Stephen,

When you connected your Time Machine backup to your New iMac and opened Time 
Machine in System Preferences you would have been given the choice to  reuse 
the back up.

If you chose Reuse Backup, Time Machine will add on to the existing set of 
backups. As the message says, then the original Mac cannot continue to back up 
to the same set of backups.

However, the first backup may still be a full backup of the new Mac, not an 
incremental one.

Or, Time Machine may say it's going to do a full backup (and delete a lot of 
old backups if necessary), and then appear to be backing-up very, very slowly. 
After a long time, when it doesn't seem anywhere near done, it may complete 
normally, having actually done only an incremental backup. Just why it does 
that is not clear.

How did you delete the backups you mention below? 


Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?

[Stephen Chape]

I just dragged it to the trash and then emptied the trash.
Probably did the wrong thing eh ?

If I reformat the Time Capsule will I lose my WiFi settings or are they 
separate?
And then can I just start over again?

No you only need to Erase the Data Disk Partition.

Airport Utility 6.x (Lion 10.7.x and Mountain Lion 10.8)
1. Open Airport Utility (Applications  Utilities  Airport Utility)
2. Select Time Capsule
3. Then 'Edit'
4. Then 'Disks'
5. Then 'Erase Disk' button

You will get a confirmation prompt, defaulted to Quick Erase, which is fine 
for most purposes.

 And then can I just start over again?

Yes. Open System Preferences  Time Machine  - Select Disk

Re: Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?

[Ronda Brown]

Stephen,

Once the delete process has completed, your Time Capsule will restart and when 
you go bak in to Disks in Airport Utility you should now see that all of the 
disk space is available.

 I should also have mentioned for your first whole system backup that you 
connect via Ethernet cable to your Time Capsule, not Via Wi-Fi as even via 
Ethernet it will take a few hours to complete the backup.

Cheers,
Ronni

 However, the first backup may still be a full backup of the new Mac, not 
 an incremental one.
 
 Or, Time Machine may say it's going to do a full backup (and delete a lot 
 of old backups if necessary), and then appear to be backing-up very, very 
 slowly. After a long time, when it doesn't seem anywhere near done, it may 
 complete normally, having actually done only an incremental backup. Just 
 why it does that is not clear.
 
 How did you delete the backups you mention below? 
 
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

Re: Setting Time Capsule up with new iMac ?

[Ronda Brown]

No reason why TM should not do its job, if you have migrated your Data across 
correctly and had checked everything was working properly before commencing the 
first backup of the new iMac.

Beautiful machine the new iMacs, worth the wait hey ;-))
My Son-N-Law ordered the new 27-inch and is waiting for them to start shipping 
in January.

 Stephen,
 
 Once the delete process has completed, your Time Capsule will restart and 
 when you go bak in to Disks in Airport Utility you should now see that all 
 of the disk space is available.
 
 I should also have mentioned for your first whole system backup that you 
 connect via Ethernet cable to your Time Capsule, not Via Wi-Fi as even via 
 Ethernet it will take a few hours to complete the backup.

 No you only need to Erase the Data Disk Partition.
 
 Airport Utility 6.x (Lion 10.7.x and Mountain Lion 10.8)
 1. Open Airport Utility (Applications  Utilities  Airport Utility)
 2. Select Time Capsule

When will Apple release NEW Time Capsule with 802.11ac 5G Gigabit WiFi?

[Ronni Brown]

Hi WAMUGers waiting for the new Time Capsule,

Apple tend to release a new Time Capsule model each year;  the last being the 
4th generation on June 21 2011.

I was aware in January, that Apple is expected to rapidly deploy support for 
the new 802.11ac specification this year, adding so called Gigabit WiFi to 
new AirPort base stations, Time Capsule, Apple TV, notebooks and potentially 
its mobile devices.

I'm desperately waiting on purchasing a larger Time Capsule as my current TC - 
TM Backup Disk only has 104.75 GB Free, and there is not much of this year left 
for Apple to announce a new Time Capsule :(

Come On Apple... Ronni is fast running out of patience!!!

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: When will Apple release NEW Time Capsule with 802.11ac 5G Gigabit WiFi?

[Tim Law]

Ronni,

I know how exciting it is to get something shiny and new, but doesn't Time 
Machine delete old backups as needed when the disk is getting full?  So your 
Capsule having limited spare capacity shouldn't be a problem, and isn't a good 
enough reason to replace it.  Or perhaps, thinking about it, that your TC is 
only a bit bigger than your MacBook's hard drive, thereby creating a problem. 

Alternatively, having something new and shiny IS allowed to be good reason all 
by itself.  :-)

Tim

Re: When will Apple release NEW Time Capsule with 802.11ac 5G Gigabit WiFi?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Tim,

Yes, Time Machine will start deleting old backups as needed... But I don't want 
that to happen. 
I want to keep as many backups as possible, I want to be able to 'go back in 
time' for as long as possible.

No, I'm not experiencing any problems with my Time Machine backups or Time 
Capsule.
My Time Capsule is a 3rd Generation 1TB, the HD on my MBP is 750GB with 430GB 
Free Space. Everything is working perfectly as I expect it to.

As most people know I am very concerned with Protecting Data... My own and 
others.
The backup strategy I have in place and recommend to my clients comes from 
years of experience – not only my own, but that of numerous industry experts. 

And yes, I do agree with your comment Alternatively, having something new and 
shiny IS allowed to be good reason all by itself... but in this instance that 
is not the reason why I want a new Time Capsule ;-))

Kind Regards,
Ronni

Time Capsule backup

[Severin Crisp]

The trials of my son Peter with his backups of several Macs to a Time Capsule 
prompted me to check out my own setup.  Nothing untoward except that I notice 
that my Time Capsule drive is not seen by Disk Utility, even when it is 
selected and Data disk is mounted on the Desktop.  I suspect this is to prevent 
inadvertent meddling; any comments?

Re: Time Machine/Time Capsule problem

I think it's had it . Noticed the first backup was August 2009..so on the  3 
yearly had it  cycle it about done!

I've re-connected my old Airport express, and that's working but it's another 
story.

 Hi Rosemary,
 
 This is bad news I'm afraid.. a solid amber light with no access will usually 
 indicate a dead hard disk.
 
 Let's clarify how the normal startup sequence occurs when you perform a 
 Factory Default Reset
 
 Power off the Time Capsule for 4-5 minutes
 Hold in the reset button, and while you continue to hold it in, plug the 
 power back in to the TC
 Continue holding the reset button for 8-10 seconds after you plug the power 
 back in and then release the reset button
 
 The TC should display a solid amber light for approximately 25-30 seconds and 
 then begin to slowly blink amber. The blinking amber is your signal that the 
 TC has fully reset and is now ready to be re-configured.
 
 If the amber light stays solid and does not change to blinking after 25-30 
 seconds, and you have tried the Factory Default Reset a few times, then I'm 
 afraid that there is an internal electrical problem with the TC and you will 
 need to get in touch with Apple to let them have a look.
 
 The best bet is to take it into an Apple Store or Apple Service provider.
 
 Rosemary, you could try turning the Time Capsule off over night and try a 
 factory reset tomorrow.
 Post back with your results please.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni

 Now the Time Capsule won't start again. It stalls at the orange steady

 There seems to be no way of connecting though I've tried unplugging/turning
 off again/ plugging into different channels on the router etc.

 Hi Rosemary,
 
 I'm trying to remember what size Time Capsule a 500GB, a 1TB or 2TB?
 I think it is only 500GB and you have been backing up two complete systems
 (2 Macs) for some time.
 
 Each time you have 'Repaired' the sparsebundle in Disk Utility on both
 Macs, what errors did you receive?
 Are they always the same errors?
 
 Also did you Check the DHCP client list on the Time Capsule and see if
 both devices are on it?
 
 And can you connect to the time capsule directly to establish a connection?
 GO, Connect to Server, afp://xxx.xxx.x.x (whatever your Time Capsule's IP
 Address is in Airport Utility)
 
 Rosemary, I can only do so much via email, it might be worth getting
 someone to check your Network and Time Capsule  Time Machine backups for
 you.
 
 If it was me, I would do a Bootable Backup of each Mac and then delete the
 sparsebundles and start again with a fresh Time Machine backup.
 And if it is only a 500GB TC, just backup ONE computer (the smaller size
 backup Mac) to the TC Internal Disk and use a USB  1TB or 2TB USB disk set
 up as an Air Disk to back up the larger of the two Macs' system.
 
 If you require details how to delete sparsebundles and how to format 
 setup an Air Disk post back or start a new subject thread.

  Disk not configured
 
  Is that the complete message or is it:
  Red i message: Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in
  network interface could not be found?
 
  1. From the Finder's Go menu go to this location:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
 
  2. Copy the file NetworkInterfaces.plist to the desktop (to make a
  precautionary backup).
 
  3. Delete the file NetworkInterfaces.plist.  Enter administrator name
  and password if prompted.
 
  4. Restart your Mac.
 
  5. Once restarted, reconfigure your Network and Time Machine preference
  panes in System Preferences.
 
  6. Check that your Network is working ok and you are online.
 
  7. See if you can select your TM backup disk and do a backup.
 
  Let me know the result of these please.
