Me too! As soon as I get back home
Exactly why I'm transferring all my stuff back off it.
Has there been any confirmation yet of whether the new models address whatever this not-power-supply-mystery problem is? I've been on the fence for a long time now, waiting for this answer.
This seems to be standard Apple policy, they only seem to acknowledge problems if they hit the mainstream press.
At least they are replacing the broken Time Capsules, even if they aren't being totally honest about it.
I think it's going to get very crowded on the fence as I'm there as well.Has there been any confirmation yet of whether the new models address whatever this not-power-supply-mystery problem is? I've been on the fence for a long time now, waiting for this answer.
Whelp, my 19 month old 500GB Time Capsule died yesterday. Thanks to the posts here and other places, I was prepared and pulled all important data (except for the backups) off the drive.
Called Apple and they were very good about it. I have AppleCare on a couple of computers in the house so they simply applied the Time Capsule to one of them. They are shipping the replacement today via overnight FedEx.
What's funny is I'm getting a new 1TB Time Capsule for Christmas so I will probably be selling this replacement.
I'm quite pleased with Apple support. They took care of me. I'm not happy with the Time Capsule however. I hope they addressed this issue in the new version of the Time Capsule.
Mine is very quiet and like I said it doesn't get hot at all. It feel the same the Airport Extreme I had.Just as a follow up. I received my replacement 500GB Time Capsule yesterday from Apple.
It came in a box with nothing but the Time Capsule itself. Quite frankly it looks brand new but I will never know for sure.
It works great. The only thing I noticed that was different was the hard drive. It doesn't sound like the same drive. It's not as noisy. Makes we wonder if they addressed the heat problem by using a different type of hard drive.
At any rate, it seems to work great. Apple really came through and it won't cost me a dime.
I have the latest Time Capsule and it has never ran hot at all. It's warm and that's about it.
My second TC died tonight - light went out and no life at all. This is a replacement TC for the one that died within a couple of months of purchase. However I am hoping that the 2 year extra apple care I purchased with my 24 inch imac may get me out of trouble. I'll let you know after I've spoken to Apple tomorrow.
just a quick update. Apple have replaced my dead TC with a new one, even though my warranty on the imac was out of date by a couple of years (how time fly's). Asked me a couple of questions, tried to see if we could restart it by plugging it in with the reset button held in - nothing. OK, new one on the way and it arrived within a couple of days. Had to send the old one back (probably to refurb for one of you!) Thanks apple - mind you, I have bought a ton of stuff from them over the years, so only fair I think
This is just insane!! My TC 2TB, less than a month old, just died!!! WTF!!! I'm not impressed with Apple products at all! What a waste of money!! I thought a company like Apple would test their products for faults like this.
What the hell Jobs!? Get your ***** together! I'm so very p!ssed that it would die after such a short time. I ordered it 02 Apr 2010!!! It's already dead 26 Apr 2010!!! Less than a month!!! WTF!!!! W T F ! ! !
Jobs can take this piece of s!it and shove it up his A$$!!!!!!
Takeing back iMac 27" i7 2TB HD 8GB ram, 2TB TC back to the store and getting all my ****ing money back, I'm done with Apple crap!!!
Sorry for such a harsh post, but I'm just p!ssed!!
