Q: Can't access my time capsule

When I click on the time capsule icon, it opens a window similar to founder, but closes by itself after 20sec.  What can I do to fix it?

Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    Reset the TC to factory and start over.. plug the TC into the computer by ethernet as well as keeping wireless active.

     

    You can even do it in full isolation from the network.. ensure ipv6 is turned on to link-local in both the ethernet and the wireless network preferences on the computer.. this is important.. the utility now requires ipv6 to work.

     

    You must also be using the latest utility available.. so make sure you are up to date.
