Airport Extreme won't show the WD external hard drive I plugged into the USB port. How do I connect my external hard drive to my network?
I plugged in my WD external hard drive into my Airport Extreme via the USB port. The hard drive will not show up in the disk section in the airport utility... How do I hook an external hard drive up to the airport extreme? I have tried 2 different WD hard drives. I must be missing something!!!
Thanks!
To be recognized by the AirPort for sharing, the WD HDD has to be formatted in either HFS+ (ideal) or FAT32. The easiest way to format the HDD is to use the Disk Utility in OS X.

My computer won't boot if HP Officejet Pro 8600 is plugged into a USB port.
If I unplug the printer and then turn on the computer it boots fine. The printer works fine if I don't plug it in until the computer is already running.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello sycomp
I found out that your computer has a bios update that may need to be installed. I would of course suggest not having the printer plugged in until after you update the bios. Interestingly one of the fixes listed states it resolves a boot issue when the Photosmart 8250 is connected. It may resolve your current issue as well. The link below is to the proper download page.

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?
Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?
Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

The volume only works when I have earphones plugged into the jack, otherwise when I try to adjust the volume it has a circle with a cross. Ive tried restarting it with and without the headphones plugged in. However it does make that mac sound when turning on the machine before the apple logo comes on and takes me to the desktop screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this??
I'm having a very similar problem.
I've got a 2010 iMac that I've got hooked up to my Pioneer Elite via HDMI cable using the Moshi adapter.
It's been working great for months, but today the audio began dropping out -- a fraction of a second, every six seconds or so.
I installed the latest Snow Leopard update today. Does anyone think there might be a connection?
thx! -
My computer and itunes app do not see my iphone when I plug it into either USB port on the computer. The cable works because I can hear the iphone start charging off the computer. But there is no indication of the device in itunes or on my hard drive device list. Any ideas?
Have no idea what you mean by "basic stuff". Try EVERYTHING in this support article:

MBP suddenly doesn't find my external hard drive when plugged into the USB port
Last night I worked on some wedding photo editing and let the laptop battery run all the way down forgetting to eject my Seagate external hard drive. I got the message when I booted it today that I didn't properly eject. Now it won't "see" the hard drive in any of the USB ports, but the hard drive is lit up so juice is going to it. Any ideas how to fix this one?
Open Disk Utility first.
Insert the drive.
If it appears in Disk Utility, use First Aid (Repair Disk)
This should be called (Repair Directory).
If it does not fix everything on the first try, run it again until it fixes everything or gets stuck.
Report any remaining error messages.
Consider getting an external Power supply for that drive. -
i tried to restart and re download everything and it still is doing the same thing. this keeps happening alot and i have to end up taking the ipod to the apple store to have them erase everything on my ipod to restart it. is there anything i can do at home to fix it
Have you tried to put the device into DFU mode?
To put the device in DFU mode,
1. Connect the device to iTunes
2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
I hope that helps.

I recently noticed that the light on the magnetic connection to my charger for my laptop is always on even when it isn't connected to the computer. I keep it plugged in. I don't remember it being like that in the past so I'm wondering if something is wrong.
Last sentence in the paper suggested by DALE:
Additional Information
Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of the evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.
