On your iMac....


Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility)

Click on the picture of the Time Capsule and a smaller window will appear

Do you see an Update button there? If yes, click it to update the firmware on the Time Capsule


Otherwise, look for the Status setting and click on the smaller amber dot there.

Another window will open up to tell you what is wrong, along with a suggestion to fix the issue.
