2 Mac Systems on 1 TC and don't see External HD connected to TC from both Mac Systems?

I cannot see my new external hard drive from both of my MAC systems - iMac and Macbook Pro.  The iMac see's the hard drive within Airport Utility but I cannot get the laptop to see the hard drive because I want to be able to make transfers to the external hard drive without much confusion.
I do not want the external hard to back up to my TC but only use it on my network.

Alright... so now
I see my other computer "iMac" in the Finders Window of the laptop
It makes me connect to the system which is always has in the past.
I opened the External HD up for sharing within the File Sharing under systems properties.
If I wanted to move something from my, Say "Desktop" into the external hard drive will I continually need to log onto the iMac and move the file to the hard drive which is now available.
I figured that the External HD would just constantly show under shared devices on my laptop at all times considering it's a shared device.
Still not certain that I have all aspects correct.  I've even went under the "side window" of the share devices and made certain that EX HD's are checked for viewing.

  • I am running OS X 10.5.8 and don't see an iCloud icon in my system preferences.  I do see a Mobileme icon but I would like to have all my mac devices on iCloud.  How can I get iCloud on my desktop?

    I am running OS X 10.5.8 and don't see an iCloud icon in my system preferences.  I do see a Mobileme icon but I would like to have all my mac devices on iCloud.  How can I get iCloud on my desktop?

    iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later. See the following about how to upgrade:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • I downloaded 2 movies that I rented last night and don't see them in my purchased items

    Feel stupid even asking this but I downloaded 2 movies that I rented last night and don't see them in my purchased items?  So I thought maybe it didn't fully download and went to do it again and it said you already rented do you want to rent again?

    I've noticed a charge on my credit card for $8.49 each month.  I looked at my Apple iTunes purchases and don't see it in my purchase history.  How do I find out what this charge is for?

    If it's happening every month then it's likely to be an auto-renewing subscription - there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

  • Can't save-All-relative files and don't see check_cs5.css under tab index.html

    after closing check_cs5.css in the second tutorial I was suppose to get two tabs (source and check_cs5.css) which I could click on (underneath the index.html document tab). I don't see these. I can't get both the Design window AND the check_CS5.css code window. I only get the code for index.html and the design window. For some reason when I was suppose to save "all-relative-files" ... that was grayed out so I "saved ALL". I don't know why that was but it probably had something to do with the problem I just mentioned. This occurred near the end of tutorial 2 of the beginner tutorial.

    This post seems to be the contuation of an earlier conversation but I don't know which earlier thread you're referring to.
    Which tutorial are you doing?
    Was this thread yours or someone totally different?

  • Bought gamers club and don't see it in profile

    I feel cheated since I purchased this a few days ago and sitting here with the card and reciept to only log in and don't see nothing about it in my profile. 

    Hi NattyPButter,
    Welcome to the My Best Buy Gamer's Club! There are quite a few games on my own "must buy" list, so I can imagine how anxious you must feel to start using your Unlocked benefits.
    Depending on when you enrolled in GCU, it's possible that your membership status may still be reflected on BestBuy.com soon -- it often takes 2-3 days for such changes to be recognized in-store and online. It's also possible that a second My Best Buy membership may have been created on your behalf in error, but it'd be difficult to know for certain without additional information.
    I'd like to take this opportunity to gather some details, so please make sure to check your private messages when you can. To check your PMs, simply sign into the forum and then click on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  • I like to use collective fonts as microsoft word let me in the option fonts/collections but in InDesign CC only got favorites, why is this so limited, i like order and group fonts similar to work more selective and don't see hundreds of fonts. Please Desi

    I got created a fonts collections in  fonts catalog.app and i can see them in collections in the program microsoft word, unfortunately in InDesign CC is not posible, only got all the list of fonts available in the computer, the option to reduce the view of fonts is favorites or restrict by part of the name or type. I believe this feature most by included as default in InDesign CC. Manage fonts collection is a pretty good option to view big differents type of fonts  selected together. even the smart collection are not visibles.

    InDesign users use normally paragraph styles and character style, no need to sort out font collections. only when you set up the styles.
    NEVER work without styles, don't us style overrides.
    But you can type in any part of the font name and you get all fonts with this expression in the name, not necessary the first letters.

  • ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

    I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.

    Hi Erik,
    Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
    1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
    2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
    3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
    4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
    5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
    6. REBOOT your PC.
    7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
    8. Plug in your iPhone.
    If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
    Goodluck all!
    Cheers.

  • I have a macbook air.  It died b/c it wouldn't charge.  Have tried other chargers.  Won't work.  Closest genius is an hour away and don't see anywhere that I can mail in my repair (where did that option go?) and no chat option.  What am I missing?

    I don't understand (and you will make fun of me here) what happened to customer service?  My only option is to call you or drive for an hour to Ellensburg to get my computer repaired?  I have four kids, Neither of these are good options.  I hate the phone, I can't hear (loud kids) and will invariably have to get off before you answer my question.  For a "tech-savvy" company, there are no chat or e-mail options?  And what happened to the mail-in repair option?  I think I paid enough for my computer to be allowed that much (not to mention the $400 minimum you'll overcharge me to fix the thing, at least).  If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do to get my computer working again, It'd be greatly appreciated.  The green led light won't light up so I know it isn't charging and I've tried another charger so I know it's in the computer and not the charger.  And apple, if you're listening, I'm so sad, because I just saved up enough to buy an imac and this runaround and apparent disinterest in your consumers has discouraged me yet again from buying it. 

    Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

    Hi timc,
    Thank you for answering my question. After taking the screen shot I started thinking "maybe it's one of the add-ons that I downloaded!!!" So I turned off the "Yahoo! Notifier" add-on, and sure enough "poof-it never appeared again"... Thanks for being the guy to get me out of myself and start thinking backwards...(And I really don't need that add-on anyway, just seemed cool that's all)... Thanks again timc...!!!
