Re: Connection to Time Capsule

2018-04-22 Thread Peter Crisp
Hi Ronni thanks for this. I figured the other volumes would have a logical 
explanation. 

After having run the Disk Utility> First Aid process now my connection to the 
Time Capsule has me connecting as “Peter Crisp” straight off the bat - without 
the need for entering password. It does take a moment to connect but at least 
now the password is remembered. I think I can for now assume that my Guest 
status on my own network has been returned to my true identity. Thank you and 
Neil for tips in getting there.

Regards


Pete

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

2018-04-19 Thread Peter Crisp
Further to this, I might add that I am on High Sierra 10.13.4 (MBP Retina 2013) 
and those that have experienced it previously indicated it was with the recent 
update/s and for those people it was not an issue previous to recent updates.

Perhaps the sequence of updates for me along with other extraneous things has 
lead to this and being limited to those others duplicating that scenario.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

2018-04-19 Thread Peter Crisp
Hi Ronni, yes you’re right. I have been doing this every time opening the 
Finder, Press “Connect as” and then enter password. Every time I do this, I 
select the “keep my password in my Keychain”. Every time I do it again, it asks 
for me to enter password again. So I do, and also select the “keep my password 
in my Keychain”. Each time entering the password, I am successful as being 
connected as “Peter C...” and not Guest so it is ok in that respect. But the 
fact that the keeping of password is not being kept is forcing me to enter it 
each time. 

I did some Apple Support reading and other’s have experienced the same failure 
to have the keychain remember the entered password, means each time it needs 
re-entering. Is there a way to remove the password from the keychain and start 
the process over again and perhaps trigger the remembering process for the OS?

2018-04-18 Thread Ronda Brown
Hi again Peter,

I probably should explain more re my last reply.
In the Finder sidebar under shared is your ‘Pete’s Time Capsule’ (whatever you 
named it). 
When you click it, then click ‘Connect As’ you are attempting to connect to the 
server ‘Pete’s Time Capsule’ click connect put the password for the Time 
Capsule and then you see the ‘Data’ folder and on the far right side of screen 
under ‘Kind’ is ‘Sharepoint’

Hi Peter,

 

I am unfamiliar with “Sharepoint” but Wikepedia seems to suggest this is a 
web-based, collaborative platform that integrates with Microsoft Office 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharePoint .

 

However, I’m not sure if/how this might relate to your problem!

 

Hopefully wiser heads can point the way ;o)

 

Cheers

Going from memory (some time & several OSes earlier) I set-up a time capsule at

logging-in to the same network as user or guest) – I gave mine quite separate

If you have both networks set-up you should see them in your network 
preferences when you go to advanced, under the wi-fi tab, eg I can see my main 
wi-fi and my iphone hotspot – even though the hotspot is not currently on, it 
is remembered.

 

If you CAN see two networks here, you can re-order them to set your preference 
(as it says – drag networks into the order you prefer) – maybe the guest 
network is currently “preferred”.

 

Of course, your problem/issue may be something else entirely – but it should be 
an easy check.

Are you connected to the 5GHz on your dual-band  Network, not the 2.5GHz? 

Have you made any changes to your 5GHz or 2.5GHz Network.

Are your Time Machine backups working correctly?

Did you setup a Guest Network at some stage? Using a guest network allows you

It appears as it you have two separate wi-fi base stations instead of one.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

2018-04-17 Thread Neil Houghton
Hi Peter,

 

Going from memory (some time & several OSes earlier) I set-up a time capsule at 
a rellie’s house with a main network and a guest network that visiting 
grandkids could use – they appeared as separate networks (rather than 
logging-in to the same network as user or guest) – I gave mine quite separate 
names to distinguish which was which.

 

If you have both networks set-up you should see them in your network 
preferences when you go to advanced, under the wi-fi tab, eg I can see my main 
wi-fi and my iphone hotspot – even though the hotspot is not currently on, it 
is remembered.

 

If you CAN see two networks here, you can re-order them to set your preference 
(as it says – drag networks into the order you prefer) – maybe the guest 
network is currently “preferred”.

 

Of course, your problem/issue may be something else entirely – but it should be 
an easy check.

 

HTH

 

 

Cheers 

 

 

Neil

Hi Peter,

No I wouldn’t delete anything until we can work out how you are now connected 
to your Wi-Fi Network as ‘Guest’ instead of your administrator name you have 
always connected with. 
Are you connected to the 5GHz on your dual-band  Network, not the 2.5GHz? 
Have you made any changes to your 5GHz or 2.5GHz Network.
Are your Time Machine backups working correctly?

I have never heard of this happening before. I’ll give it more thought 
overnight and tomorrow as I have another job to finish tonight.
I’ll get back to you if & when I can think clearly about this issue.

Re: Connection to Time Capsule

2018-04-17 Thread Peter Crisp
Hi again, with further reading on this it might be due to a bug in the OS 
Sierra (10.13.4) I am running to do with Auto mount of the TC. Once I set the 
connection to “Peter Crisp” the TC shows as mounted in the Finder (little 
upward pointing triangle), but the frustration is that the next time I open a 
new Finder window, I have to re-enter my password to reset the connection to 
“Peter …”. Each time I tick the remember in Keychain option but it seems to not 
remember it.

I suspect the others in the house don’t have this issue as they’re all lagging 
behind in their OSX update status and the more recent updates are where this 
has arisen.

Regards

Pete.

It appears as it you have two separate wi-fi base stations instead of one.

Connection to Time Capsule
