OsX Mavericks and Time Capsule Drive not connecting

Howdy seanay89,

It sounds like you are unable to make a Time Machine backup becuse the disk is not connecting correctly. I want to recommend these links from the article named:

Time Machine: Troubleshooting backup issues

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275

Red "i" message: "The backup volume could not be mounted" or "The backup volume could not be found." appears when using network volume or Time Capsule

• Time Capsule: Time Machine backups do not mount
• Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later: Time Machine - "Backup volume could not be mounted" after changing network volume's password

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Cheers,

Sterling

Only thing that works for me so far is to restart OS, was not able to find any better solution yet.

I don't thing it's Time machine backup issues. You may be using time capsule just as a remote storage, which

I believe what seanay89 and I am doing. After update maveriks I constantly run into issue of inability to connect

to that remote storage. Restarting machine solves it until I go to work, when I'm back home I can't connect to

my disk again :'(

I am in exactly the same position: I am running MBP mid 2010 and updated to Mavericks recently. I have a 1TB TC to which was previously connected a 500GB external drive which my wife used to backup her MBAir. Usual running out of space problem - so went yesterday to Apple store and bought a 2TB Lacie external. Now having formatted to mac journal extended with 2 partitions (1 for Time machine backup, the other for general files- video/photos etc), I can often see the drive; even start a time machine backup before losing connectivity and am unable to reach it. I power down TC and restart it I can find the drive though is variable whether I can interrogate the contents - sometimes it is listed as a sharepoint connection but I can't see anymore than that.... I know the drive works as when directly connected to either my MBP or her Air I can read/write files fine... SOOO frustrating!

Thinking of throwing money at the problem and buying a new 3TB TC, but really that would be playing into Apple's hands/pocket.. and I thought they were better than that!

Yo tengo el mismo problema y al igual que muchos en este topic tengo un MacBook Pro Mid 2010, también tengo un Time Capsule 2TB en donde almaceno mi biblioteca de iTunes, algunas veces me aparece ese mensaje cuando quiero reproducir algunas canciones y es tedioso estar ubicandolas una por una.

Si alguien ha dado la solución, le agradecería mucho si lo compartiera.

Translation with Google Translate:

I have the same problem and like many on this topic I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010, I also have a Time Capsule 2TB where I store my iTunes library, sometimes this message appears to me when I play certain songs and is tedious to be placing them one by one.

If someone has the solution, I would greatly appreciate if you share.

Not sure what is causing this. But, a workaround that seems to work is to turn off your wi-fi network then turn it back on. The disk will then connect.

Was this ever resolved? I too get the "There was a Problem connecting to "XXXX Time Capsule" Server. " Time machine backup works fine but I cannot see my external hds anymore. Everything was working fine yesterday.

Yup, just to bump, I have this exact issue as well - 2010-or-so MBP with Mavericks, unable to connect to TC while the wireless network connection going through it works just fine.

I did not see the problem immediately upon installing Mavericks, though, it just started today (apr. 15th) - I upgraded a few months ago and have had other problems but not this one.

Turning Wi-Fi off and on does not help, neither does using "Go", and even the "trying to access TC via Airport Utility and getting repeatedly asked for the password while nothing happens" situation is replicated on my system.

Fix, please, Apple - and remember, we went to these products to not have to switch our computers off and on again all the time to make them go...

The only solution that I have found that works is restarting the time capsule.

Im having this exact problem with my 2013 macbook pro 15 retina (Mavericks) and 2 TB Time Capsule. My wife is running Mountain Lion and is able to connect no problem, so this leads me to think it is a Mavericks bug. In saying that I seem to recall it working for a few weeks after upgrading to mavericks and then... nothing

I also had problems with Time Capsule after installing Mavericks 10.9.3. I connected the computer with the Time Capsule using a (Ethernet)-cable. Then Mavericks installed automaticly a new firmware on the Time Capsule.

After the installation, the Time Capsule restartet automaticly, and i had my Wi-fi again. Even after disconnecting the cable. Hope, this helps

Well first off the Time Capsule was designed for Time Machine back ups only. I've called Apple with this configuration and it was unsupported lol.

Using the TC disk for storage for things like music and movies, when a computer wants to access the info from the TC, the TC disk will mount to that computer.

When the TC disk is mounted to a computer it will no longer run Time Machine back ups because the disk is mounted else where.

When you restart the Time Capsule, it unmounts from the computer that mounted it.

You should probably use a wired external hard drive.

See pages 28 and 29. Using Airport Utility (page 29), I don’t see the options the manual says are there. I have done a reset and a full reset (page 28) many times and it has always straightened out the Time Capsule.
