AEBSn - WHY ISN'T THE HARD DRIVE SHOWING UP?

I have configured my Airport Extreme Base Station and also have it working with Airport Express, so that the base station now appears in iTunes (that only took 2 hours!). In the Airport Admin Utility my external hard disk also shows as connected, but my computer isn't recognizing it. Can someone tell me what I need to do for the external drive to be recognized so I can have the main functionality this device claims - connecting an external hard drive to the network! Thank you.

Anyone?

  • I uninstalled a cad program I've been running for years and when I go to reinstall it says 0kb available, but in Finder the hard drive shows 80 gb.  Why won't it let me install?

    Cad software started having some issues so I uninstalled it and when I go to re-install, I can't get past the "select folder for installation" page.  I can't browse to any other than the default applications location and at the bottom of the screen it shows 0kb available.  But there is 80 gb available on the hard drive.  It's an older software, but that shouldn't really matter as it's been on the machine for years.  Did upgrading to Snow Leopard somehow do this (as it had many other negative effects on the software)?  Software is ArchiCAD 9.  I'd upgrade to current version if I had an extra $4K laying around but I don't (so please don't suggest that).  Also, I'm that Administrator and I don't have problems installing other softwares.  Is it possible that the installation disk from the software manufacturer can have an expiration date?  Software is from about 2006.
    Thanks.

    I suspect the software was originally designed for PPC based Macs and is simply not designed to run on 10.6.7. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer and asking the correct way to uninstall they're application.
    After uninstalling I would run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility and if necessary do a SMC reset using the following instructions:
    SMC RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • WHY DOESN'T MY HARD DRIVE SHOW? - AIRPORT EXTREME N WITH XP SP2

  • Why is my external hard drive showing up twice on Time Machine?

    This is the first time I am using Time Machine because somebody recently gave me an external hard drive.
    The external hard drive is appearing twice on Time Machine preferences. One of them is currently backing up and the other one says "Waiting to back up" but I don't want it to back up twice on the same disk.
    Here's a screenshot:
    Does anyone know why it is doing this?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil destinationinfo
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Why don't extra hard drives show up in finder window?

    I have an older MacPro running 10.7.5 with 4 internal drives. Just this morning the three extra drives do not show up in a finder window under "Devices." I used "Disk Utility" to verify all three and no problem was indicated. I checked "Finder - Preferences and under "Devices" all 4 boxes are checked. I unchecked them, closed the window and then rechecked them to no avail. One of them is my backup disk. When I attempt to enter "Time Machine" I get the message "The Time Machine Disk cannot be found." What could cause them to disappear. I have not tried opening the case, removing the disks and reinserting them.

    Might be corrupted Finder preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. See if external drives mount in the Finder.

  • HT201343 Why isn't the mirroring option showing up for my apple tv?

    My mac book pro is an early 2012 model. I recently bought the apple tv, netflix works great, but my computer is not showing the mirroring option, do I need to download anything else in order for the mirroring option to work/show up?

    It is your OS, you need OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and you have OS X 10.7 Lion.  Get it from the app store.

  • Why isn't the whole song showing up from GarageBand to iTunes?

    I followed the directions for sending a song to iTunes but only a fraction of my song shows up in iTunes.  It's not my cycle button.  I don't have the cycle button on...

    ..if it's the preferences, then what about the preferences should I change?
    I suspect, that the Preferences files in your User Library may be corrupted.
    Try, if removing GarageBand's preference files will help. Remove these files from your User Library to a folder on your Desktop:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist
    ~/Library/Caches/garageband
    Quit GarageBand, then remove the files to a folder on the Desktop and restart the computer, before trying again to open GarageBand.
    You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
    Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
    Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to the Preferences, Caches, or Containers folder. Remove these folders completely - don't leave anything inside:  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/,
    ~/Library/Caches/garageband

    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi, thanks for responding. it copied the files when i was booted it up for the first time,
    it was an option when it ran the set-up routine.
    i'm going to re-install the drive and initialize with disk warrior. then i'll re-format. (and not install the OS)
    does that sound right?

  • I downloaded Lion on my iMac.  It apparently cleaned out the hard drive.  Nothing shows up from before.  It looks like a brand new computer.  It is backed up on Time machine.  Any idea of why this happened and suggestions on restoring?  Thanks.

    I downloaded Lion on my 4 yr old iMac.  The download stalled at the last minute so I clicked "CANCEL".  When it was restarted, Lion was there, with no apparent option but to go ahead and install so I assumed it was okay.  Didn't transfer data from "another computer" when prompted - assumed it would transfer from that computer.  It apparently cleaned out the hard drive.  It looks like a brand new computer.  None of my apps, programs,  files, or thousands of photos.   It is backed up on Time machine, but it's a sickening sight.  Any idea why this happened and suggestions before restoring?  Thanks.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • I just put a solid state hard drive in my mac book pro and used super duper to copy the hard drive and move the data over to thew new ssd, but most of my music isn't in iTunes when I turned it on? How do I get my music to show up in my new drive?

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

  • Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?

    Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?
    Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive.  I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.

    I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.
    You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive.

  • Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
    Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
    If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.

  • Hard Drive shows twice the memory used of what is actually used

    Can anyone tell me why the hard drive on my mac mini shows roughly double what my time machine back up shows?  I know that the time machine number of 98 GB is correct vs. the HD that shows 182 GB used.  I have only had the Mac Mini for 5 months and the only upgrade I have done is the 8 GB of Ram.  Is it possible that my disk utility is not reading the HD correct but is reading the time machine external drive correctly?
    Makes no sense to me and I would appreciate any insight you can offer.
    Thanks.

    One other comment: If you're lucky, the drive enclosure has failed and the drive mechanism is intact. In that case, you can get to the data by removing the mechansm and installing it another enclosure.
