Q: airport time capsule cannot be opened because original item cannot be found
I have just purchased an Airport Time capsule and am having trouble installing it. It flashes amber and although Time Machine backs up to it, and I can access the internet, I cannot recall up the back-up because I received the following error message:
"AirPort Time Capsule” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found".
The printer connected to the Time Capsule by USB works.
I am installing via an iMac.
Please help!
Thanks
IMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

You should first determine what is the issue that the "flashing amber" LED is indicating.
To do so from your iMac:
- Run the AirPort Utility.
- Select the Time Capsule
- In the pop-up window, any issues will be listed in the status section.
Please post back your findings.
