Problem with Time Capsule and Time Machine
I am using a terabyte Time Capsule with firmware 7.3.2 and I've having problems entering Time Machine. When I try, I get the dialog window which informs me that it is attempting to connect to my Time Capsule. I went to take a shower and when I got back to my laptop, it still had not connected. I was able to connect to the Time Capsule from within the Finder. And so I tried rebooting both my laptop and the Time Capsule, by restarting from AirPort Utility, unplugging the power, and using a pen to hit the reset button as well. I use my Time Capsule for a wireless router and I have had no problems with my internet connection and AirPort utility. Thanks in advance for any help.
Looking through the system logs, I find some message which look potentially interesting:
