This may get long, but bear with me. I want to give as many details as possible.
A little over a month ago I bought a new 1TB Time Capsule to replace my old Airport Extreme. I set it up and my wireless internet was working fine, however I couldnt get it to backup my Power Mac G5 (via ethernet connection). I kept getting the could not mount backup volume error message. I searched many forums and found people with similar issues, but I was never able to find a solution to my problem.
After the 10.5.6 Mac OS update I thought I may have hope, but the only thing it did was give me this new error message when I try to choose my backup disc:
The network backup volume could not be mounted because there was a problem with the network username or password.
Open System Preferences and choose Time Machine then re-select the Time Machine backup destination to enter the correct username and password.
I tried that and now I get this error message:
Keychain error -25299 occurred while creating a System Keychain entry for the username Tracy Hollifield and URL afp://Tracy%20Hollifield@THTC.local/THTCBackup.
You can try using the Keychain Access utility to edit or repair your System Keychain.
Also, when I click the i beside the red Failed, this is what it tells me:
The network backup volume could not be mounted because there was a problem with the network username or password.
Ive checked and double-checked my Time Capsule username and password and they are correct. Some of the things Ive tried: changing Time Capsule username and password, making sure username wasnt too long or contained funky characters, verifying and repairing my HD permissions, reseting Time Capsule and starting from scratch, making sure my firewall was set to allow for all incoming connections, etc...
For grins I decided I would try to back up my old iBook, and it worked - both wirelessly and connected via ethernet cable. This leads me to believe that its something in my Power Mac G5. Im a long time Apple user and Im usually pretty good at troubleshooting and solving my own problems, but this one has me stumped. I guess if I dont find a solution in the next couple of days, Ill have to give Apple tech support a call (something Im trying to avoid).
If anyone else has experienced this problem or has a possible solution, Id love to hear it.
Thanks.... Tracy
