The machine seems to be working fine with the wifi and backup systems. I reset the wifi and the light stopped flashing and was green for a couple of hours, but then started again. Tried a second time with the same outcome. Any ideas?
What operating system are you using on your Mac?
I am using Mac OX 10.7.3
If you have not already done so, you will need to download and install the full featured version of AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Then open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and a window will open to explain why the Time Capsule is complaining....along with suggestions to remedy the issue. It might be something as simple as a message that an update is available for the Time Capsule.
Suggest that you keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac. (You cannot delete AirPort Utility 6.0)
Thanks Bob. Upgradedand then it had an upgrade available. That fixed the problem...looking green again.
Thank you. This was driving me crazy and Bob's comments above have resolved this problem for me too.
The Time Capsule light continues flashing yellow.
