How to fix AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule ‘Device Not Found’ in macOS
In my case both an AirPort Time Capsule 5th generation (model A1470, mid 2013, ME182LL/A, 3 TB) and AirPort Time Capsule 4th generation (model A1409, mid 2011, MD032LL/A, 2 TB) shows up the ‘Device not found’. However, you cannot update it or change the settings. The Fix ‘Device not found’ in AirPort Utility for AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and Time Capsule is done by unplugging the AirPort device and then deleting Apple ID in Back to my Mac.Īlthough the AirPort device is not found in the AirPort Utility app, it is still accessible via Finder app. Nevertheless, your AirPort or Time Capsule device is still working and reachable via Finder app. I'm surprised Ive would want a third-party's router sitting on a desk, although if he doesn't care about a monitor, then he wouldn't care about the router (which in the case of third party routers don't necessarily sit on a desk anyway).If ‘Device not found’ appears in the Airport Utility app on your Mac, it means that your AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule is not showing up in the AirPort Utility app and hence, not accessible. Although Apple doesn't make printers, scanners, computer speakers, monitors and many other desktop devices, I consider their router to be part of the ecosystem. Maybe they got rid of the team (or moved them on to something else) because they were unproductive. On the other hand, while the supposed team was still working on this product line, what the hell were they doing day-to-day? Airport Extreme 802.11ac and Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac were released in June of 2013, 3 1/2 years ago! Airport Express 802.11n was released in June of 2012. It's not that I don't believe the rumors, after all - Apple hasn't updated the Express to ac, but I think we'll know for sure if we see Apple Retail and/or the website selling a third party router.Ĭonsidering that Apple has been removing ports from machines because "everything is wireless anyway", it doesn't really make sense to me that they'd abandon this line. An Airport device purchased today will remain usable and safe for the foreseeable future, and perhaps a smooth transition will be had into whatever Apple comes up with next, whether it's new versions of AirPort, networking integrated into other devices like AppleTV, or something entirely new.
Instead, a reasonable reading of today's report suggests that a wait-and-see approach is just fine or even wise for consumers. Taking that information at face value, many readers were believing all this to mean that they should also quickly abandon the product line and quickly start finding other routers and networking gear. This paints a fundamentally different picture than the previous reports, which gave a strong impression that Apple was totally abandoning the product line, even stating that devices were no longer available for sale or were otherwise scarcely available, and also leaving a strong impression that the devices wouldn't be supported much longer or at all. These sources have in fact indicated that the product line will continue to be supported. That leaves a lot of possibilities open that were previously asserted not to be.

I checked my local store this week, and the full line is on the shelf, several deep), and supported by Apple (I just performed this week's firmware updates on mine).Īccording to this article, unnamed inside sources are still maintaining that engineering staff have been re-assigned, but the previously reported dissolution of the AirPort division is not 'specifically confirmed' by these sources. The visible facts are still that Airport devices continue to be widely available for sale (not just listed online or 'by request' from the back of Apple stores. Let me say that I appreciate this article's somewhat different approach to reporting on this issue.
