MBPro can't find time capsule

MBPro received a message that it could no longer back up to the time capsule (1 TB). My iMac is wired to the TC and all's well there.

MBPro Sys Pres, Time Machine/Select disk - "Backup Disks:

There's a Data icon - "On Rick's AirPort Time capsule. local"

Available Disks - "Other Airport Time Capsule - Set up an AirPort time Capsule that is not listed here."

in AirPort Utility, "Other Wi-Fi Devices" yields, "No configured AirPort base stations have been found...."

Should be there!

Any ideas very welcome. Thanks.

Have you performed basic troubleshooting steps a few times, like.........

Powering off the Time Capsule

Restarting your Mac

Powering the Time Capsule back up

If yes, what is the status of the Time Capsule's indicator light on the front panel of the device?

Well, after decades of Macs, one would think to power the TC off first thing..... Worked perfectly. I'm trying to come up with an excuse - nothing.

Thanks much, Bob!

Nice work! The old "power it off and power it back on again" trick works again.
