I then went to the online Apple Store and read the TC reviews, which contained quite a few reviews that report HD failure (mostly power failure, if I'm not mistaken) after 18 months or so! Some suggested that a good solution would be to get an Airport Extreme plus a USB hard drive of some other brand, not Apple. He expressed surprise that my TC has lasted four years!!! He said I should replace it. He was not able to see the TC/HD wirelessly but was able to access it by plugging in a cable. I took it to the Apple Store and the Genius said that he thinks it is failing. I have backed up all the files I had stored on there as advised by the Apple Store Genius (see next paragraph). I can get it back by unplugging and replugging the TC, but I tried a hard reset and that didn't bring it back. I can usually get the HD to reappear but it disappears again eventually. The wireless router part is still working fine. Recently the HD has become erratic, in that it appears on Finder under Shared sometimes but not always. I use it to back up my MacBook Air and I also use it for file storage. I have a 500 GB Time Capsule that is about four years old.
