new x yosemite doesn't support airport utilities.....

AirPort Utility is already built into Yosemite. What version of AirPort Utility are you asking about here?


time capsule doesn't work.....

You mean to say that the Time Capsule won't power up?


If not, then what exactly doesn't work? We will need to rely on your description for details, since our crystal ball is broken and we cannot see your network.

@nickradford This is the issue. We can't access the TC via Airport Utility in Yosemite Mac OS. By iPhone, by iPad, even by a other Mac with a different version from Yosemite we can access the Airport Utility.

The WiFi is working correctly. Even if I map the time capsule drive by their IP, I can see my files. But, I can't access the TC by Airport Utility and the Time Machine backup can't find either.

My story feels similar to others posting here:

Ever since updating to Yosemite, my iMac (late 2009) has been losing its internet connection. When the computer is restarted or I log in to the computer, the internet connection is fine. But a few minutes later - say, less than 10 minutes - the connection gets dropped and stays dropped. Our internet is distributed from a cable modem to an AirPort Time Capsule base station. Other devices in the household (two iPhones and an iPad and a MacBook Pro [running Mavericks]) stay on the internet just fine. Only the iMac loses connectivity. I’ve tried restarting the cable modem. But, since the other computers on the network are not suffering from dropped internet, it can’t be the modem. I’ve also performed a hard reset on the AirPort Time Capsule. This worked for about 3-5 minutes, then the connection dropped and, as usual, the following message appeared next to the AirPort Time Capsule icon in AirPort Utility:


“(AirPort Time Capsule Name) was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet. Forgetting this device removes it from this network.”

I am connected to my time capsule by ethernet cable. I am experiencing a regular issue where the wake from sleep for homesharing isn't working, usually after the mac has been woken from sleep then returns to sleep. What follows this is that the airport utility then cannot see the time capsule, it reports it is gone from the network despite being plugged directly into it!


I have to reset the network, either by rebooting the time capsule or swapping to wi-fi and then back to the ethernet cable. Yosemite has DEFINITELY broken something here because it all worked on Mavericks fine. I can also duplicate this on both a mac mini and macbook air.
