Network Disk Disconecting in iTunes - Anyone else with this problem

I posted this a couple of times, but I have yet to receive any responses. Here is what is happening.
1. I have a USB drive plugged into my AEBS and my Macbook CD2 sees the drive just fine and all the files on the drive.
2. My iTunes library is linked to my music on this hard drive, and all my music plays perfect in iTunes.
3. I add new songs to this networked hard drive, then I go into iTunes and click "add to library" and then I select the new songs.
4. The network drive disconnects without any warning. When I go to disk utility and try to reconnect the network drive, it tells me my password for connecting to the drive is wrong.
5. To get the drive to reconnect I have to go back into Airport Setup Utility and set a new password for the drive and then I can reconnect.
6. This happens every time I try to "add to library" new music in iTunes, and this is the only time I have any problems.
7. I have a MBC2D with the newest os x and iTunes version and I have the brand new AEBS with the 'n' capability.
Someone out there has to be trying to stream their music from their network drive to iTunes. Anybody else having this problem?
Thanks a bunch
Jake

Fair point as well...however...with AppleTV coming down the pike some of us are trying to move iTunes library over to a network drive to stream through AppleTV to TV or Stereo. In my case, having iTunes on the network drive means I do not need to be connected to the network in order for someone to stream to AppleTV or their Mac since up to five users can share a library. In addition, the 3.5GB and growing iTunes library frees up much needed space on my MBP. If I can get this set up working I can rip all the CDs we have all over the house and stored on the networked drive.
To answer the earlier questions. I have an OWC 500GB connected by USB to the AEBS (n). It has never disconnected. I have also found that all 500GB drives are not equal. As an example, I purchased a MyBook500GB. It connected easily but I would receive an error when trying to transfer files over roughly 3.5GB. Some of my archived FCP files are much larger. I never received a response from Western Digital as what was happening, took the MyBook back to the Apple Retail store and purchased a OWC 500GB drive from OWC which was shipped that day. I have had no problems with this drive staying connected to the AEBS(n) or transfering very large GB files. I have noticed this drive does not spin down like my OWC250GB does.
The only problem I have is playing the ripped iTunes CD music. I have described this in another question on the board. Also talked with Apple's customer support which referred me to a person in the AEBS area. Looks like I am the only one experiencing this issue at present.
My suggestion is to try switching out your AirDisk connected to the AEBS(n) if you have another one of a different make/model at your location...or contact the Drive manufacturer and see if they have anyone else having issues with the drive and AEBS(n).

    i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard.  i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users.  Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD.   Anyone else with this problem?  CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update?  Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update!  it just saves gray.

    If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Or you can:
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

    The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit ALL apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • HT1918 Won't accept my Apple ID, even though I used it last night on iTunes, anyone else having this problem

    I'm trying to buy a video and I keep getting a message that says, "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store." Anyone else having this problem? I just bought a movie last night without any problem.

    I am having the same problem. You are only able to purchased when you first open Itunes after the first purchase  the password and login details are no longer accepted by the itunes store. This has only happened after  I installed the latest Itunes (11.03 (42)) so I assume that it is a bug in the software that that corrupted something on my mac.
    On the bright side it means I do not give apple money

  • Reviews keep disappearing from iTunes!  Anyone else with this problem?

    In the good old days, one could always bring back up a review for further editing.
    Now, often, the reviews disappear--one can labor over a multi-paragraph review, click submit--and then it's vanished-- even before being reviewed by Apple or being posted or being there to edit.
    This has happened especially on the iPad Air-- in fact, this morning, I tapped the wrong place--outside of the dialog box--and the review vanished.  Another time, the keyboard was blocking a pop up and when I tried to move the keyboard, iTunes vanquished the review!
    I'm now taking to typing out the reviews in other apps; ones that I know are reliable.  I then copy and paste.  It's not a bad system; indeed, it's a good one as you then have a local copy of whatever you submit.  But, I keep getting caught from time to time-- have Siri help me write a review directly in the App Store app and then losing all my hard work!
    So, I'm wondering if others have seen this or not--or, if there are some tricks I'm missing about writing reviews on the App Store!

  • Center Button Stuck. Anyone else with this problem?

    My center button got stuck on June 1st and I took it in to Best Buy where I bought it because I had a warranty on it. They said it had to be sent in to be repaired and I got it back on June 12. On June 20, after playing with it twice since I got it back, it broke again. I took it in to Best Buy again yesterday and they're supposed to be "fixing" it again. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Is so, how and if it was fixed.
    Thanks.

    I just got that same problem today - my iPod classic got a stuck center button, and the screen was staying lit with "Do Not Disconnect".
    So I used my nylon tool to pry open the case, and the tiny phillips screwdriver to separate the screen cover from the LED screen. I found a web page which shows exactly the condition of the central button, with the misaligned rubber dot:
    http://scrap104.blogspot.com/2008/10/stuck-ipod-center-button.html
    It was fairly easy to fix the center button by moving the adhesive pad back, but I would advise to avoid using a metal tool around those microcircuits, to avoid shorting out the CPU. And I filed the edge of the plastic center button for smoother operation.
    When the iPod was put together, pushing the center and menu buttons together set it back to normal.

    Upon load of iTunes 11, no music in my entire library will play within iTunes.  Reloaded iTunes 11 with no change.  iTunes recognizes song files; 'Get Info' can be used and data is accurate.   When selecting specific m4p file from windows directly, song will play in QuickTime. 

    I was able to determine that the SD drive where the iTunes Media is located had some corrupted sectors.  Ran chkdsk /f and able to recover all music, podcasts, and other media.
