Q: Time capsule no longer works after upgrading to Mavericks

I have upgraded to mavericks and my time capusle no longer back up. Will Apple be sending out a fix. Forums show lots of apple apologists trying various work arounds and some losing data.   When will Apple be sending out a fix. 

 

First Mail was crashing and with the new fix finally Mail is working ... when can we expect the fix for TC and mavericks.

    This is a user forum.  No one here would know that.  What specific problem are you having with TM?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

    View ▹ Show Log List

    from the menu bar.

     

    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now

    CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD

    so that all messages are showning, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.

    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.

    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.

    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
