Buffalo Linkstation live - Itunes 10.5

Hi,
I have a linkstation live connected to my home router via ethernet.
The linkstation live has an Itunes server built in to this.
Prior to upgraded to Itunes 10.5.0.142 my computer (Windows7 32bit) could see my linkstation live as an itunes server as displayed this in itunes as a shared library.
Now I've upgraded to 10.5.0142 (Had to to upgraded to iOS5) the linkstation is no longer seen.
I've looked on buffalo's site for an update however they have firmly laid the problem at apples door.

Please Apple - Can you re-issue a fix like you did before !
Thanks
Paul

I was looking for something like this. I have just bought a WD My Book World NAS drive. I connected it to my old router (G) and discovered it was too slow to wirelessly stream high bitrate music or movies. I then bought a Belkin N+ router which resolved this issue. However I have trouble with the mounts. When I wake my MacBook from sleep I can normally see the drive under Shares in Finder, but after some minutes it disappears. If I Go -> Network in Finder it turns up, but will not connect. The funny thing is I can be streaming music from the darn thing without interruption! The network shares on the desktop also turns on/off erratically. I can still access the folder contents from these even that the drive is not visible in Finder.
The NAS is set up for AFP on all shares which should be ok. I have tried both dynamic and fixed IP address on the NAS, but my Mac gets it dynamically. I'll try a fixed IP for this.
People are talking about automatic mount of network resources on start up. I came from Windblows and do not know all the fancy Unix commands and config files stuff. So how do you folks do this?
Will be much appreciated, thanks!

  • Thinking of moving my iTunes library to a NAS (Buffalo Linkstation Live)...

    Hi
    My iTunes library is growing, with movies and tunes etc its getting too big for my iMac HDD (320Gb). At the moment I have all my music on my iMac HDD iTunes library, and my movies on my NAS.
    However I was wondering if I can put my whole iTunes library on my NAS. I have a Buffalo Linkstation Live which says in documentation
    "iTunes automatically makes the LinkStation available as a content source in your iTunes software"
    Not exactly sure what this means though? Also if it is possible, what is it like performance/managing wise? The Linkstation is wired Ethernet to my iMac by the way. Also if the iTunes library is on my NAS, can my PS3 access it to? I have a PS3 which accesses my NAS fine at moment, will the PS3 be able to "see" inside the iTunes library on the NAS?
    cheers

    Anyone in similar situation or has a Buffalo NAS Live please?
    cheers

  • Using Buffalo LinkStation Live as an iPhoto '09 Library

    I just recently purchased the buffalo linkstation live NAS. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac. I was wondering if it is possible to use the hard drive as a server with my iPhoto library on it, so other DNLA devices can view the videos and pictures in it. I heard that there are potential risks if the hard drive(s) is not Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted. However, this hard drive is for both Windows and Mac so I really hope I can use it as a server. I'm only going to use my iMac to add, edit the library with photos/videos, not use other computers. Otherwise, I can only use my hard drive as an iTunes server, which is kind of a waste, since the hard drive has 1tb and I want to use the most of it.
    Thanks,
    -Tarun

    Then it's not a suitable location for the iPhoto Library.
    One possible workaround: put the library on a Disk Image and store the Image on the NAS

  • Will the Buffalo LinkStation Live work with my Mac Book?

    I am wanting to get a hard drive that will wirelessly back up my two MacBooks using Time Machine Software. Also, I would like to be able to hook up my printer to this device so that we can share a printer between the two Macbooks wirelessly.
    I came across the "Buffalo LinkStation Live™ - LS-CHL". It seems to do exactly what I want, but I can not tell if it is compatible with Time Machine software or if I have to use their bundled software.
    Basically, I want to share a backup HD and printer between my two MacBooks....wirelessly. I do not need a router because I already have one. I understand a Time Capsule would probably work, but it is more than I want to spend.
    Here is a link to the LinkStation Live™ - LS-CHL.

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • Buffalo LinkStation Live and NasNavigator 2 problems with Mac

    I am using a Buffalo LinkStation Live (LS-CH1.0TL) with my MacBook. With the Firewell turned off on my Mac it works really well. Unfortunately, with the Firewall on, a perpetual dialogue box appears asking to give permission to allow incoming connections from NasNavigator 2. Whether you click Allow or Deny, the message appears again after about 10 seconds. This process continues indefinitely. It works fine with Windows 7 (either run via Mac or on my previous PC). I have updated all software/firmware and reformatted and restored factory settings on the LinkStation.
    Buffalo are stating that this is an Apple issue so can anyone help or is this going to be technical-support-tennis where each are blaming the other?! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
    Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
    Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
    Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

  • Connecting a Buffalo Linkstation Live to an AE network

    I just bought a Buffalo Linkstation Live HS500GL on closeout at Circuit city. I have it hooked up to my AE via ethernet, but I can't "see" it on the network. The supplied software, the NAS Navigator seems to find it, and shows the IP address, and all the information, but I can't connect to it through a browser (Safari or Firefox) or any other way.
    The instructions that came with it said I would have a NAS Navigator icon on my desktop as well as a new "share" icon on my desktop. There is no share icon showing up.
    I have also tried connecting to server in the Finder "Go" menu, but this doesn't work either.
    Any advice out there?

    Just bumping up to see if anyone has any ideas.

  • 'Phantom'  iTunes tracks on Buffalo Linkstation Live shared drive

    I have finally copied all my music over to a Buffalo Linkstation - I could not consolidate so dragged into iTunes from my PC drive and changed directory location. My PC can see the entire library direct and my iMac and PC can see the library on the Buffalo drive. But when searching direct to Linkstation via PC or iMac I am seeing multiple copies of tracks. Some of these multiples come up with '!' others show up 2 or 3 times and can be played. There are no duplicate copies on the LinkStation - the trash is empty. Any ideas please?

  • AppleTV compatible with Buffalo Linkstation Live?

    If you look it up, The LinkStation Live supports SMB and has a built in iTunes7 server.
    http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/linkstation/linkstation-live /
    Do you think I could plug this directly into the AppleTV via ethernet or would I have to use my existing router?
    Would it show up in AppleTV sources, as a shared library, if the LinkStation was set up that way?

    Then it's not a suitable location for the iPhoto Library.
    One possible workaround: put the library on a Disk Image and store the Image on the NAS

  • Setting up iTunes and Buffalo Linkstation Live

    Anyone using this setup on Windows XP?
    Anyone know if I can connect directly to my iTunes content from my Apple TV? I have the pCast/DNLA server running.
    Thanks!

    I think I'm having a similar problem. AirTunes has been working fine for the last 6 months, but a reboot last week has killed it. iTunes can see and connect to my remote speakers. When I hit play, the play-button responds correctly, turning into a pause button. However, nothing comes out of the APX out and the timeline doesn't move. I can play out of my local speakers fine.
    At first I suspected that I might have disable a Windows service that was necessary for iTunes to play over the remote speakers. After a fresh install of WinXPPro and updates of APX firmware and iTunes, my symptoms are still the same.
    Funny thing is that everything works fine with my WinXPPro Dell notebook. That makes me think that there is nothing wrong with the APX. Any clues?

  • Can't get Apple Tv to see my Buffalo Linkstation Live, please help

    Have tried everything to get the two to talk, but the apple tv does not see the buffalo drive.  I have turned on the itunes server on the buffalo drive, and have verified that all folders are sharded on the drive.  I am at a loss, and would really welcome some help.  Thanks.

    A 3rd gen Apple TV needs an iTunes library shared using Home Sharing, which means a Mac or PC based iTunes will only work.

  • Anyone help setup TC with Buffalo Linkstation NAS

    I have a TIme Capsule working great with my iMac. I also have a Buffalo Linkstation Live 1Tb NAS.
    There is a smartphone app that allows you to share a folder from your NAS over WiFi and 3G. I want to do this so I can share my music over my 3G when out and about, and play it (I am in UK and have unlimited 3G internet).
    However in the easywebaccess setting it says I havent got UPnP. I'm unsure how to enale/set this in my TC. I goto advanced setting on my NAS and says I need to setup oorts etc, I dont know how to do this on a TC.
    When trying advanced setup I get this error "UPnP Gateway not found and/or doesn't support port forwarding, use manual setup."
    Anyone help please?
    cheers

    Let me suggest you swap your system or your thinking..
    If you use a modem router to which the TC is connected tell me more.. The TC can be bridged and the other device become the router.. this makes things easier as you can then track ports that upnp opens.. and see what you need to do.
    I am unsure where the app is loaded.. is it in the buffalo or the phone??
    Mostly iphone is rigged to itunes, welded or melded would be better as it is almost impossible to escape itunes.. so when you coyly refer to smartphone.. I presume you are not actually talking about iphone but the that horrible company that had the gall to encroach on Apple's space.
    To get music to work, it must use a standard method eg http, or ftp etc.. all you need to do is to tell me what method it uses if you don't have the actual ports it uses.
    Apple buiild everything to operate in their own paid for realm of itunes.. icloud etc. When you try to bypass that.. you need to get the apple router out of the way.
    (It might also be much easier to use an SD-Card or some other memory type if you can plug those in).

  • Buffalo Linkstation - Sync no Pictures

    first. Sorry about my english ...
    all my music, videos and pictures are at the "buffalo linkstation".
    and itunes see and play musik and videos and sync all with ATV ... but not the pictures, and yes, i can select it in itunes und see all the folders ...
    wy ?

    I am having the same problem synching pictures only (not music, video or podcasts) located on a Buffalo Linkstation Pro, and the problem is with my iPhone and Apple TV. I recently moved my files to the Linkstation L drive from a smaller Western Digital D drive (Library still on C drive). Synch worked fine for severl days on both the iPhone and Apple TV, but then it started to hang synching pictures. When I move the pictures back to the WD D drive or to the C drive, the synch works perfectly. However, iTunes will not synch pictures located on the Buffalo Linkstation L drive (which does show up as a shared drive, too).
    Appreciate any advice on this as I have very large files and need he storage capacity of the Buffalo Linkstation.

  • Buffalo linkstation iTunes support - what does it mean?

    Buffalo are putting "iTunes" on their packaging.

  • Buffalo Linkstation works with all PC's but not iMac - With Airport Extreme

    Hi. I hope someone can help. Been at this for days, even AppleCare can't help....
    We have a Buffalo linkstation hooked to a new Airport Extreme.
    All PCs can see it and view documents, iTunes, etc. My iMac cannot. Actually, I think it sees it but it's a mere file on my desktop. When I click on it, it pulls up a Finder type window, but this Buffalo icon (like network icon) can't be mounted in my normal finder main section. I can't figure out how to do that.
    When I open Finder, I don't see the buffalo at all but have to go thru many libraries to find it. When I click on it ("connect") to it, It says "Select the SMB/CIFS shared volume you want to connect to: I click on the name, but it says "the alias blablabla could not be opened because the original item cannot be found. It gives the option to fix alias so I hit that and it puts me in my "documents" area and won't let me go anywhere else.
    OMG... Can someone tell me how to get this thing working? I can see the files but they are so buried. I'd like to take this Buffalo which seems to be on my desktop and mount it? to the right area of my Finder.
    All I want to do is see the darned iTunes on the buffalo wirelessly via airport extreme. LOL All other computers (PC's) did this instantly. Help?

    Yes, I can see everything I need to see (external HD)....
    I even dragged the darned thing into the finder...
    Now my upper left box of the finder says:
    Network
    Share (that's my external buffalo HD)
    Windox XP
    iMac
    The problem with the above is that "Share" is not mounted. It has the eject button next to it. I think (maybe) I could get this functioning if I could mount this darned thing but I can't for the life of me get it to do that. Any ideas?
    EDIT: I'm not sure how to use directory access utility. Do I need to?
