Airport disk not visible in windows (XP)

I have 3 computes 2x imac + one PC under Windows XP
I use time capsule (7.4.2) for the network + file sharing.
Almost everything works ok.
Only issue is that I do not have airport disk access from the PC/Windows.
On the PC I have Airport Utility 5.4.2, when I open airport disk preference, it seems I see the airport name but when I try to connect to it/identify myself (connect as user) with the proper user id & password (as I have setup on the time capsule) I get the following message: "unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retipe etc".
Any idea what it could be?
thx

Hi nathalie&michael, i'm having the same problem. not only does it fail to connect as a user, also the guest connection returns the same error message. i have also tried manually mapping thee drive and this returns 'path not found' errors.

  • AEBSn + USB disk, not visible in Windows

    Have been using AEBSn as access point for last 6 months. Now added a LaCie MacMini drive via the USB port on AEBSn but am unable to access it via the LAN. I know this is a common problem and have checked the settings described in some of the responses to no avail.
    The disk is formatted as HFS and can be accessed using MacDrive when directly attached to PC. The disk name is currently "Lemon" (so no funny characters).
    AEBSn has latest firmware (7.2.1), the disk is visible under "disks" on the Airport Utility, file sharing is enabled with base station password, guest access is read & write and disks are advertised globally using Bonjour.
    I have tried to access from three different PCs. The latest Bonjour (1.0.4) is loaded and is enabled in firewall (AVG in 2 and Windows in other). From Windows Explorer I can see the AEBS (properties shows it as a CIFS server) but it has no folders. The Airport Disk Agent is running in the system tray but does not detect any disks.
    Please help, my central back strategy is in ruins!

    Hi, I just got my usb disk working!
    I got Airport Extreme (the latest one), all the firmware updates (7.2.1) one pc with WINXP. A 500Gb USB disk from Packard Bell. I want to connect the drive to the Airport and serve files over the wireless.
    my trouble was that while I could see the disk in airport utility, I could not actually connect: wrong password, user etc.
    As the disk is visible in Airport Utility and the Extreme station is visible in the disk management utility in the status bar, I concluded that there must be a problem outside of the Airport Extreme. Indeed, this I found to be in my network settings, which I easily fixed by installing Microsoft Client for Networks. Practically I did this by Start>Network settings right click Properties. then selected the wireless network right click properties once more. Under the General tab I checked for the presence of Microsoft Client for Networks, it wasn't there so on the same screen I click Install.. select Clients and fianlly Microsoft Client for Networks. Bingo.
    I hope this helps, I spent a whole day looking around in this forum and no one has suggested this. So I do and wish you good luck! (now to see if I can get the music onto my Airport Express!!!)

  • HFS+ formated USB Disk not visible under Windows 7

    Hello.
    I recently purchased an APE and hooked a 4TB HFS+ drive via USB on it. Unfortunately it's not visible under Windows7. Though if I use a Fat32 formatted drive i'm able to access it. I even have macdrive installed. The drive is working properly if connected to the PC or MAC manually.
    Please help

    Hello exalderan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    FWIW. I currently have an external USB drive (NewerTech miniStack) connected to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). I can access it from Windows 7 (Ultimate) from either a dedicated Windows PC or from a Parallels VM running Windows 7 without any issues. The 2 TB drive is formatted in HFS+.
    What type of errors are you getting?

  • Airport Disk not visible on finder after Leopard install

    On Finder, my Airport extreme appears but I can't see anything on my HD attached.
    But if I open a terminal, I can browse my Airport disk.
    Anybody have a solution?
    Thanks

    Go to Finder = Preferences
    "General" icon and check [x] Connected Servers
    I had to reboot to make this work. Your mileage may vary per when the disk icon is visible.

  • Airport Express not visible to Windows XP laptops - works with MacBook Air

    Frustration. I've been searching these Discussion boards and none of the proposed solutions seem to work for my problem.
    I am trying to set up a brand new Airport Express to stream iTunes wirelessly to my home entertainment system. The majority of my music resides on a Dell laptop running Windows XP Pro(SP3). I have a home WPA2-PSK WiFi network using the modem provided my local internet provider (Qwest). I've been trying to set up the AEX as a client on my existing network. I have turned off my laptop's firewall and virus protection.
    I used the Airport Utility to configure the AEX (setting the AEX name to something without spaces, setting a password, choosing join an existing network, selecting the correct network type (WPA/WPA2 Personal), entering my network's password, and enabling AirTunes). This seems to go well. After the restart, the orange light turns to a solid green light, but I get the familiar "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport wireless device after restarting." I can get the Utility to retrieve the above group of configuration settings by entering the IP address and password via the Configure Other on the File pulldown. Despite the correct settings seemingly being saved to the AEX and the green light, the AEX is not available to my iTunes.
    At this point, I'm about 8hrs into this setup process. I have been through all of the recommended permutations of AEX hard reset (paperclip in the AEX reset button while plugging it back in and waiting for the rapidly flashing orange light), laptop reboot, linking my laptop to AEX via ethernet cable for setup, hook AEX to wireless modem via ethernet cable for setup, hook AEX and wireless modem to laptop via ethernet cable for setup, etc. Each time, the AEX settles out to green, but it is not seen by Airport Utility on the Windows XP laptop. I've now tried with a second Dell Windows XP laptop (also shut off the firewall and virus protection) with precisely the same results.
    Today I brought home my office MacBook Air. I reset the AEX and re-installed it as a client on my network and it was immediately recognized by the MacBook Air, and went on to stream iTunes wirelessly to my entertainment system (proof of concept). When I switch back to the Windows XP laptops, the AEX still cannot be found by the non-Mac laptops. They can find the AEX temporarily when I enter the IP address to the configure other, but cannot find the AEX after the reboot. The AEX is only available to the XP machines when the AEX is hardwired to either of the laptops via an ethernet cable.
    I still just want to be able to stream iTunes wirelessly from my primary Windows XP Dell laptop to my entertainment system. Please help. Thank you.

    WPA2-PSK (AES) = Apple WPA2 Personal
    WPA-PSK (TKIP) = Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal
    See if you can change the setting on your wireless router to read WPA-PSK (TKIP).

  • Phone not visible in Windows Explorer - post 10.3 upgrade

    I installed 10.3 on my Q10 no problem, saw the Blend icon and decided to install (having used it on the work Passports) so a couple of things....
    1. Blend now downloaded - but wants to install on an F:drive - which would be the Q10.
    2. When connected via USB (or wifi) the Q10 is not visible in Windows Explorer (it was fine in 10.2)
    3. Can see the drivers begin to install, but then it rolls back and a 'Install failed, cannot find F:drive' appears.
    4. Is Blend intended for use on the Q10.
    Anyone got any ideas I can try?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Found it, you have to go into Settings > Networks and Connections > Connection Services > USB and slide the USB Mass Storage Mode to the on position. It will then show as an ext. hdd in Windows Explorer.

  • Some Media Card folders within 'documents​' folder not visible in Windows XP Pro SP3

    I have tried renaming these folders on the device (eliminating '.'s and generally shortening the folder names) and then connecting to a Windows machine again afterwards, however, I have two problematic folders (within the 'documents' folder) that are still not visible in Windows.
    One thing that is kind of troubling is that I thought I noticed that when I was moving files out of the 'documents' root directory (only place I can put files from the Windows machine [while connected] because I can't see the target folders in Windows) on the device to one of the problematic folders (again, because I cannot accomplish this in Windows), the original full-length folder name was still being referenced in the path displayed in the intermediate confirmation dialog.
    Does it matter whether the folders are created within the (connected to) Windows environment or done on the device?  Are there folder name length considerations or illegal characters?
    I have created (in the Windows environment, while connected) some rather long folder names (including ''' & '.' characters) within the 'pictures' directory and have no trouble seeing them later in Windows.
    What could be going on here?
    Thanks, FFF

  • Airport disk won't let Windows 7 copy files

    Dear readers,
    I've got an Airport Extreme, with a PC (win7x64), Mac mini and USB disk (Lacie Porsche design 500Gb) connected (wired Gbit).
    To get acces to the disk I already changed the Windows settings below. Now when I copy several files or 1 big file to the Airport-disk, Windows pops a message that the connection is lost (although I still see the disk in Explorer). I can chosse "skip" to skip the first file, after which the rest is copied perfectly.
    The Synchronize tool "SyncToy" has no problem copiing any file to the disk.
    So it seems Explorer has a problem initiating a connection needed for copiing in a first attempt, right? Perhaps SyncToy is more patient and waiting for a good connection?
    Does anybody have a idea how to solve this?
    Thank you
    security setting change, needed to make the disk visible:
    Go to Start Menu
    Search for: security
    Click on Local Security Policy
    Goto Local Policies> Security Options
    Double Click on Network security: LAN Manager Authentication
    Change level to: Send LM # LTLM Responses
    Then, scroll down to Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
    De-select Require 128-bit encryption
    Hit OK

    Found a ...minor work around, though it's not really a solution.
    Using the FastCopy app, I had no problem on copying/moving etc. Actually I managed to move more than 70GB without a single issue.
    Now, as the Free Copy site (http://www.ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en) (points out:
    - Because Reading/Writing are processed with no OS cache at all, other applications aren't easy to become heavy.
    - It runs lightly, because MFC is not used. (made by Win32 API and C Runtime only)
    Maybe those two facts reveal the culprit for the annoyance.
    Hopefully a better solution will come up soon.

  • Has anyone got Airport Disk working from a Windows PC?

    The title says it all really!
    Just wondered if I'm the only one having trouble with the new Airport extreme..
    Alex

    Hello everybody.
    I have no problems accessing USB disks on my AEBS from any Windows computer, but I have the same problem as ashealey.
    I have connected my new HFS+ preformatted LaCie 500GB minihub (designed to be stacked under a MacMini- but also looks ok under the Airport) to my also new Airport Extreme (802.11n). After connecting the disk, the disk appears with a nice picture on my MacBook. And I have no problems accessing the disk from Windows - both wireless and wired.
    I have copied lots of data, incl. backup (> 16GB) from my MacBook to the Airport connected LaCie disk witout any problems.
    From Windows I can create directories, and read/write files. And I can copy large amounts (>16GB) from the Airport disk to my Windows computers. But when I try, as you, to copy large data quantities from Windows to my Airport disk, my Airport Extreme and/or LaCie harddisk crashes as you describe. It is not enough to re-start the Airport. I also have to re-start the LaCie disk (I unplug both devices, and re-power them). I only ran one copy at a time, so it has nothing to do with simultainousl access.
    Hope the cause of this problem can be found soon. I guess the problem is in the Airport Extreme.
    I cannot understand, why Apple have released this Airport Extreme without having tried this simple test: Copy more than 20MB from a Windows PC to the Airdisk. I think Apple is loosing some of its fans, if the problem is not solved very fast. One of the reasons I selected the Airport Extreme, instead of using my current TopCom wireless router was the Airdisk possibility. This is more flexible than buying a seperate LAN disk. But if it doesn't work, what's the point?

  • USB Printer connected to Airport Express not visible on iPad and iPhone

    I have got two Airport Express devices in my network, connected by ethernet. Air Play works fine. Unfortunately my iPad and iPhone do not find the printer connected by USB. Printing from a Win PC to the printer works fine. The printer is visible in the Airport Express configuration and from Windows in the Bonjour printer search.
    Printing from iPad and iPhone to printers connected to the Win PC works fine.
    Does anyone know what might be wrong?

    That's only true of a limited number of printer models from HP. Future updates to iOS may change that, but that's not the case yet.
    On this Apple Web page http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html
    see the mention at the bottom that "AirPrint works seamlessly with a new generation of wireless printers from HP."

  • AirPort Extreme not visible in the airport utility installed on my Imac

    My AirPort Extreme is suddenly not visible in the airport utility installed on my Imac. After numerous rescans I am bordering to give up as the connection seems to be working fine when I connect it to the Imac through the ethernet cable. Any advices further than restarting the devices?

    For the app Airport Utility you have to be connected to the AE wifi.
    If you are not talking about the AU App, but the Airport Antenna you can do following:
    disconnect AE form power, wait 10-15 seconds, turn off the Airport Antenna in your mac. Then connect the AE to power, wait till it is fully started, then turn the Airport Antenna to on again.

  • Macintosh HD partition is not visible in Windows

    Hello
    I've a MacBook Pro mid 2012.
    A week ago I had a problem with OSX 10.9 and the Apple Premium Reseller fixed it with a clean instal of OSX. I've set everything back with my Time-machine backup. Because it was a software problem, my windows partition wasn't damaged. In Finder I can see the BootCamp-partition and of course my Macintosh HD-partition. But when boot with windows I can only see the Windows BootCamp-partition but not he Macintosh HD-partition. And that's my problem. I want to see the Macintosh HD-partition in windows. Before the clean install I could see the Macintosh HD-partition and now I want it back because I need it.
    I've downloaded the newest BootCamp software (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621) and installed it. Because the HFS+ driver is included in the BootCamp software you should think it solved the problem but it doesn't. I've  read many communities and they told about only to reinstal the HFS+ driver which was exluded from the BootCamp software but this also didn't work.
    I also tried to give the Macintosh HD-partition a 'disc-letter' because maybe that should be the reason why I can't see the partition but I can't give the partition a letter. I did it this way: Run => type: diskmgmt.msc. But it's impossible to give it a letter. (See additional photo at the bottom) I only can delete the partition when I right-click on it. (Is it normal that my disc have so much partitions which I don't know?)
    Can someone solve my problem please?
    Thank you very much for helping me out!
    Joachim

    The number of partitions should be four (the ESP/EFI information, OSX, Recovery HD and Bootcamp) on a single disk Mac machine.
    From a working system with bootcamp, the partition id for entry 2 is AF (not AC) as is shown in your MBR, and the Windows installation only understands MBR (if you do not install using Windows 8.x/EFI on late 2013 Macs).
    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
    Password:
    Disk: /dev/disk0 geometry: 121643/255/63 [1954210120 sectors]

    2: AF 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [    409640 - 1452530904] HFS+  
    3: AB 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [1452940544 -    1269536] Darwin Boot

    There is a simple fix for this. You may have to re-install Bootcamp drivers again, to allow the HFS driver to pickup the MBR entry or a reboot may be needed. Please use the following commands and stop if you see any errors. (the i386 boot error message at the start can be ignored safely). This is done by using the fdisk utility in interactive mode with the '-e' command line option.
    sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0
    p
    setpid 2

    p
    w
