Today a "Refurbished" 2TB Time Capsule was delivered from Apple and I'm having BIG trouble setting it up. Am running a network on an Air Port Extreme with Snow Leopard with no problems [connected by cable to the Net] and I've tried every which way to get it connected but it just isn't recognised by either my Power Mac or a Mini on wireless or direct ethernet cable. Have switched on and off and reset all to no avail
Am not fully Macified yet but would be grateful for any suggestions to help sort this out!

So you're saying the TC is not showing up in Airport Utility? How long are you holding the reset button? Maybe you got a dud refurb.

What mode have you set it up in?

Think I must have been confused by the handbook which says to "Press the reset button for one second". Yes but I needed to reset everything not just the password and pressing it for much longer worked. Time Capsule spent most of last night backing up with Time Machine from a Power Mac G5 [using Leopard] successfully and I wondered if it would be possible to read this backup with other computers on the network all running the later Snow Leopard?
Now to try to sort out the Sonos system which went down when I messed up the network...............

Seems there might be a wireless problem with installing a Time Capsule on a system running a Sonos system. Mine stopped working and the marvellous Sonos help line didn't get to sorting it out in around an hours chat [which I had to stop] apart from suggesting the router was faulty; this was swapped with a new one which WAS faulty!
Thought about the problem overnight and put the old router back and changed the wireless channel Sonos was using from 6 to 11 [I think] and now it's working fine again

Each backup can only be read / used with the computer it was generated from.
E.g., a Time Machine backup of your iMac will not appear on your MBP and vice versa.

Actually you can mount the sparsebundle using the Finder and search/read other backups from any Mac.
But....do not delete or modify the backups from the Finder as this would damage them making them unusable within Time Machine.
