Air cannot access USB Drive on OS X

I am having a problem seeing a connected USB thumb drive in
the fileSystemTree under OS X. I can see the drive when i run the
app under Linux or Windows, however i just cannot find the
connected drive in OS X. anybody have any suggestions, or
workarounds?

ok so i found a work around for this issue. apparently in OS
X you can't see all the drives mounted when using air by default.
to get around this i just created a new file and resolved the path
to "file:///Volumes/" this takes you to the "volumes" folder to
which you can access all mounted drives on your system. if you are
using a filesystemtree, as i was, you can then set the "directory"
property to this newly created file. now you will see all your
mounted drives (usb storage drives included) in your
filesystemtree!

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

Cannot access usb ethernet after upgrade

I upgraded from 10.5.5 to 10.5.8 via download and now cannot access USB Ethernet. Select "Network" in System Preferences & all I get is "beach ball." When I disconnect USB Ethernet, Network appears. I had to use Apple USB Ethernet adaptor because Ethernet board got fried and did not want to buy new Mac. Can I go back to 10.5.0 then to 10.5.5 combo? If so, how?

Solved my own problem. Reinstalled 10.5 then the 10.5.5 Combo updater and now USB Ethernet works. I guess I will stay away from any further updates after this. So, my ancient eMac lives for another day.

Cannot access USB flash drive. - Access Denied

Have HP flash drive that I cannot access any files. The computer reads the USB drive ltter but then gives me the message access denied. Tried on other computer and works fine. Even works on this computer in safe mode, but not in regular mode.

Hello @thecos99,
I understand that your desktop computer is not able to read the information on the USB flash drive, and that it indicates that the "Access is Denied". I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose this issue, I recommend following the steps in this document on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 7). This should help enable your system to recognize the USB drive.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

How can I access USB drive on AirPort Extreme with iPad

Good day. I recently purchased an AirPort Extreme, and am very pleased. I thought I would take advantage of the ability to store files and videos of my children on my USB drive on the router. Installation was flawless, however, i cannot access the USB drive with my IPad. I have seen several postings about this, am i correct in reading that this is not possible without a 3rd party app? If that is the case, could someone point me in the right direction?

Have you tried this? (And is the Airport new enough that you can call Apple?)
*Manually mounting Mac OS Extended (HFS+) volumes*
*From the Finder's Go menu choose Connect to Server.*
*Enter the AirPort Extreme Base Station's LAN IP address (by default 10.0.1.1).*
*Enter the username and password required to access the AirPort Disk(s).*
*Select the desired AirPort Disk(s) from the available Volumes.*
*Manually mounting FAT16/FAT32 volumes*
*From the Finder's Go menu choose Connect to Server.*
*Enter the AirPort Extreme Base Station's LAN IP address preceded by smb:// (for example, smb://10.0.1.1 )*
*Enter the username and password required to access the AirPort Disk(s). Leave the Workgroup field empty unless you have assigned one in AirPort Utility.*
*Select the desired AirPort Disk from the available CIFS (Common Internet File System) volumes*

Cannot access USB storage

I had a E3200 for more than a year and everything is fine. I have a 128G USB key attached to the usb port and had no problem sharing the content with any user connected to the router. In the last 2 days I started having problem accessing the USB key. When my WIN8.1 came up, I saw notification saying "not able to cnnect to all network drives" and I cannot get to the USB key anymore. The other router function is fine (every user can access internet with no problem). I tried to check using the admin interface. But 192.168.1.1 did not return the admin login (using IE or Chrome).
I powered off and power on the router, I can than get to admin and saw no problem with the USB Stoarage and I also was able to get the USB content on my file explorer. This stayed OK when I was using my laptop (may be for 1 or 2 hrs). But the next time I power on my laptop, I got the problem again (cannot get to the USB drive and 192.168.1,1 did not return login prompt). Power off and power on the E3200 will do the trick again. Any suggestion on how I can find out what is wrong ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To help us isolate the situation, try accessing your files using other laptops. If all of the devices are affected, it would be best if you'll check if the firmware is up to date. If it is, you may try to re-flash the firmware.
To download the update instructions and the latest firmware, go to this link, http://support.linksys.com/en-apac/support/routers/E3200.
It is recommended to do a factory reset after successfully updating the firmware. Reconfigure the router and observe its performance.

Access USB drive?

Can AIR check for an available USB drive, and access
read/write on the USB drive?

AIR can access a USB drive as it would any drive on the file
system.

Accessing usb drive from a connection kit

I have a thing called 'HDMI & AV Connection Kit for iPad' I plugged it into my iPad 3 and put a USB flash drive into the USB hole. How do I access the USB flash drive from the iPad? I cannot find a way to navigate to it.
If anyone knows what I do, or what app I need to get to do this I would be very grateful
Thanks
Dave

You can't. Not in the way I think you want it.
The CCK will only work to import photos and videos. You could put some photos on a USB drive and then import htem into your iPad. Those photos must follow a very rigid naming convention (be in a folder named DCIM and have a file name of exactly 8 characters, like DSC_4483, same with movies)
there is no protocol to import documents or the such. and there is no protocol to export anything with the CCK.

Cannot access external drive ITS INVISIBLE

I just control clicked my external hard drive
and I unintentionally changed something under
ownership and permissions and now I can not
see or access the drive.
-I attempted to use disk warrior to restore and it did nothing.
-Disk Utility was able to see the drive but told me the following
-owners enabled: no
So it seems that I need to r-enable myself to view and edit the drive but
i am not able to do that so I was hoping that someone could give
me a hand.
thanks

Hi, casey.
...but when I look at the disk partition where all my stuff is in disk utility it is just a piece of paper and I cannot access it.
"Just a piece of paper"? What on earth do you mean by this?
Do you really not have any idea what you did to foul yourself up so badly? If you could tell us exactly what happened — what option or command you chose, in what window or menu — it might be extremely useful information.

How to access USB drive on e4200 remotely

Hello,
I recently bought a e4200 v2 and installed connect cloud. I have attached a USB drive to the router. I can connect to it by mapping a network drive on my windows 7 laptop. I can also access it as a media server through my iPad on the local wifi network. This way I can play the music on the USB drive through the iPad. The next thing I would like to accomplish is to be able to listen to the music on the USB drive through the internet (so remotely). Is that even possible?
Regards and thanks,
Steven

Hi there. That is actually possible. When you open your CCC go to USB Storage and set Enable FTP Server to ON. It is important as well to have a public internet ip address on the router which means coming from your internet service provider. For other cases, it is static so that it will not change. Are you by the way on Cable internet or DSL internet service? If you are example on DSL internet and your internet ip address from your ISP is private (192.168.1.4) then remotely accessing anything from your router is not possible you have to set the dsl modem to full bridge in order for it to work. To verify your internet ip address using CCC, go to Connectivity on the side panel and it comes up with a page and click on Internet Settings up on top. And say you wish to access the music files on your windows 7 laptop remotely, you have to set a static ip address to that computer and forward port 21 (default for ftp) on the router. Usually the address that you will type in on the address bar on your remote device is ftp://publicwanip. By the way, you may refer to the links below I found from Cisco's public kb site.

How can i Install an AIR application on USB drive?

I am new to AIR application development.I want to develop a application which could run from an external USB drive(flash drives). I wanted to know if it is possible to install the application on the USB drive.If so what is the procedure.

That is completely false about Windows. Windows does not automatically get infected with anything the minute you connect it to the net. My god where do you come up with that? I run several Windows PCs and none of them run any malware or anti virus programs and none of them have ever been infected with anything and they are always connected to the Internet. I'm typing this reply from one such Windows PC.
It's all about how you use your computer not the OS it runs. Sure Windows is a much bigger target for the scum of the world to attack as it has 90% of the market so the people that write the viruses and malware programs do it for a system they have a better chance of infecting.
But to ***-U-Me that just because you have Windows and you go to the Net that it will get infected with something is just a Bold Face Lie. And I suspect you know that.
So why not post truths instead of the Lie in your post.
By the way Mac's can also be infected as has been proven recently. So no matter what OS you run you can get infected. Now that is not a Lie.

The two responses above are right- there is no Windows Explorer version that will install in Mountain Lion.
There are a couple of things you can try that might work, short of installing Windows on your machine, either in a virtual machine (like virtual box or parallels) or with bootcamp. Personally, I hate either of those options, just because windows is such a magnet for malware and viruses. The second you expose windows to the internet it becomes infected.

Mavericks: Cannot access hard drive on side-bar

Just updated my OS to Mavericks and have come up against something that has stumped me. Usually, I can access my files on my Media Drive through a side bar, however after upgrading this doesnt seem to be the case. The Finder window displays my files but I cannot access them. I can however access them through other means.

Cannot Access USB Storage on WRT610N From My Computer

Hi ,
I am uable to access my files on the USB Storage Device connected to WRT610. Its configured properly. I can see the drive on my network. When I double click it asks for password which I enter and it takes me to the shared folder. But when I click it it says Not Accessible....You donot have the persmission. FTP works fine.
I have noticed that on the disk page in the Shared Folder Area when you click on the Summary, the box with Groups With Access is Empty. Whereas on the FTP area in the same summary it clearly mentions the admin group.
I have tried every thing including factory reset, hard reset, using new group, new user name etc...but no joy.
The technician from Linsys even spent an hour on my computer and ultimately he gave up and gave me number to contact technical support.
Any Ideas Guys. Its driving me mad!!!
Regards

Let me know the current firmware version in the Router? If the firmware in the Router is an older version then upgrade it with the latest one which can be downloaded from the Linksys/Cisco website. After successful firmware upgrade you need to reset the Router. It is recommended to reset the router once. Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
After reset, reconfigure the router and then check the connectivity status of the storage..
NOTE: Before upgrading the firmware must disconnect the USB DRIVE. As the drive connect may corrupt data on the drive, so as a precaution make sure the user safely disconnects the drive by using the button in the Storage page that says Safely Remove Disk

ICloud full, cannot access iCloud drive and cannot deleter files...

I am getting messages saying that my iCloud is full. Okay, I get it. So I look up how to free up space and find all the instructions on how to not have apps sync (which I've done) and to delete photos (which I've done), yet it's still full. I'm sure there are plenty of audio files on there that could be taken off as I do have iTunes Match however, I cannot for the life of me figure out HOW to delete any files off iCloud. I have tried accessing iCloud Drive on various computers and I get error messages and pop screens telling me to reload - shocker. So, how in the **** am I supposed to figure out what is taking up all this space on my iCloud and then, how do I delete it? I don't really "save" anything so I'm not sure what to do. Anyone else having the same issue and if so, any solutions? I do not want to buy more space but I want to be able to back up my phone. Technology is great when works, but this isn't working and it's frustrating. Thanks for anyone that has any helpful advice.

E1550 - unable to access USB drive with Ubuntu

I am probably overlooking something real obvious but after screwing around for two hours I figure I need some help.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I have set up the E1550 router with an external drive that I formatted with the router utility. At this point I do NOT have an internet connection hooked to the router - I am not sure I want to for now. What I would like to do is to be able to access, wirelessly, a drive that multiple users can use to back up their important files onto.
I have tried using anonymous disk read/write access as well as creating shares. All the features seem to be setting up ok but at this point I have no clue how to access the drive.
I have tried using the Ubuntu files utility and then selecting 'browse network' followed by selecting 'windows network'. Alas, 'windows network' is an empty file with no drive present.
I have tried accessing the router wirelessly and also hard wired - no joy.
Am I maybe not acessing the drive properly through Ubuntu? Do I need to mount the remote drive rather than accessing it through the windows network ?
Thanks in advance for any pointers given !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not expert with Ubuntu OS but have you tried to map the drive on your computer? I have no idea how to do that using Ubuntu but if you're using Windows or Mac, you can simply follow the steps from Linksys KB. It usually helps me when I am trying to enable file-sharing capabilities within my network.
