Can't get my AirPort Time Capsule to backup files from my MacBook Air
Recently had some major issues with my MacBook Air, so I had to wipe it and start from scratch. At the same time, my home WiFi went bad and I had to replace the modem and router. Now I'm back up and running fine, but have not been able to reinitiate backups to my AirPort Time Capsule.
I am running Time Machine and the message says "Connecting to backup disk...", but it eventually times out and says it will try again in an hour. I saw someone else had a similar issue, so I followed the directions provided by Bob Timmons in this forum. I did a hard reset, powered off, connected ethernet cable, powered back up, opened AirPort Utility, created a new network name, password. And everything looks good..in the AirPort Utility, the internet has a green dot and my AirPort Time Capsule has a green dot. I started time machine and made sure my MacBook is on the same wifi network as the Time Capsule, but it's not backing up for some reason. Any suggestions?
