Buffalo LinkStation question

Hello,
I have a 2T LS-XL778 (external) unit from Buffalo that is connected via CAT-5 to my router and am having a hard time using it with Lightroom 5.6 (LR) standalone.
I have a 1T LaCie external which LR can see and I use it all the time with no problem.
How do I get my photos and Collections onto the Buffalo unit? I want to end up using it for all photos because of its capacity and use the LaCie as backup.
Thanks

Good point, my bad for not being specific.
I have to open the Finder where I see the Buffalo external drive under the 'Shared' section. In LR this external drive is not visible but the LaCie external drive is.
My procedure now is to populate the Buffalo drive. But wait - I just moved a folder from the LaCie to the Buffalo external and it did populate it.
I was trying to move some of the Collections folder into the Buffalo drive but could not. I now realize that Collections just points to the source wherever it lives.
Lesson learned - you helped me to think this through as I am relatively new to Lightroom and all its capabilities. Made me realize just how ignorant I was. You can fix ignorance, but not stupidity.
Thanks, and I hope this helps someone else.

  • Buffalo Linkstation not accessible in Mavericks

    Hello All,
    I have recently purchased a Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo model no. LS-WX4.0TL/R1 for an IT client of mine that needs to backup both PC and Mac computers.
    When I go to map to the NAS via AFP I receive an error that the particular location is not available, or cannot be accessed.
    This is peculiar because I have used this particular NAS in other Mac environments running Lion with no issues.
    Has Apple restructured AFP in Mavericks?
    Also, I have logged into the NAS user interface and checked for Firmware updates. The NAS reports that it is running the latest firmware.
    I have posted this same question on the Buffalo support forums. They said to update firmware, and then to contact Apple Support if there are further issues.
    Does anyone have any insight to this issue? Be it regarding AFP in Mavericks, or firmware for the NAS?
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem with a linkstation quad I purchased yesterday - works fine over SMB but cannot access via AFP.
    Running mountain lion and mavericks and same problem in both, have already upgraded to latest firmware.

  • Buffalo Linkstation is not recognized when plugged directly into mac

    I recently received a Buffalo Linkstation and tried setting it up, when i got it all up and running, the lights come on, but it won't connect to my mac, it's connected via ethernet cable
    I do not have it plugged into a router and don't want to go get one, I have two wireless routers, but when i first used one for both the internet and the linkstation, it was too slow, and when i tried using one for the internet and one for the linkstation, they interfere with each other and defeat the purpose.
    I just want it to go from the hard drive to the mac, then when i get it all set up, i'll add a printer
    I know this defeats the purpose of the networking capability and that i should just go get an external hard drive, but I did have one and it stopped working, so i sent it in and got this.
    Any help whatsoever would be appreciated

    I've never seen one of these puppies but your question
    was intriguing so I looked at Bufflalo Technology's web
    site. They claim to have a built-in ftp server, and that
    sounds like how you're gonna connect. The first thing to
    do is figure out the linkstation's ip address. Hopefully the
    default will be listed in the manual, or maybe you set it
    in the setup process. Otherwise, you've got to search
    your network for port 21. If it gets its ip address via DHCP,
    you need a DHCP server in the mix. I bet your wireless
    router has one, and you could use it to get you going.
    Once you have the ip address, you can mount the device
    in the Finder using Command-K and entering
    ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address.
    Good luck!

  • Time Machine - Not Seeing My Buffalo LinkStation Hard Drive

    Currently have a Buffalo LinkStation 2TB hard drive on my home network. The Buffalo is connected to my router (Netgear WGR614v10). It is not physically connected to my iMac, but I do have a LinkStation icon on my desktop in order to add files to.
    When trying to start Time Machine, I click "Choose Backup Disk" but the only drive listed is my Maxtor 750GB that I had when I purchased my iMac a couple of years ago. The Maxtor was purchased when I first bought the iMac because I wanted to use Time Machine (my iMac has a 750GB internal hard drive).
    Because the Maxtor 750GB is the only backup drive listed, I click "Set Up Time Capsule" but the "AirPort Utility" says it was unable to find any AirPort wireless devices. The only thing I can do at this point is "Rescan" which only proves the same result. There is a "Manual Setup" button at the bottom but it is greyed out and I can't select it.
    How do I configure the Buffalo LinkStation so Time Machine will view it as an available backup drive?
    Also, how would I do this if I added an additional hard drive (or two or three more)?
    I have a feeling this is probably obvious and I'm just missing it.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Time Machine does not work well, if at all, with some NAS devices. See #2 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Problems printing via a Buffalo Linkstation

    Hi - I'm having problems printing to the print server that comes as part of a Buffalo Linkstation. The printer in question is an Epson DX7450.
    I can print successfully to the printer via USB
    I can install the printer successfully as a windows server attached printer (attached to the Buffalo)
    But when I print, I get the following errors. I'm assuming the driver is expecting two way comms with the printer, but the Buffalo doesn't support this. Anyone any clues?
    Thanks,

    Should have googled properly - see this is an issue using a usb driver for a network printer. So I'll go and get a cups driver and see what happens.

  • Printing to Buffalo Linkstation

    Hi everyone,
    Am thinking of buying a new iPad and using it as the main connected device in my house (laptop giving up the ghost and can't afford the space for another computer - iPad seems ideal solution). I have a Buffalo Linkstation NAS which has a built-in print server (you connect any printer to it via USB) to share the printer across the network. The Linkstation's core OS is a version of Linux I believe, but there is no access to the OS without hacking it.
    My question is this: will an app like PrintCentral work on the iPad to connect to this printer as obviously you can't install WePrint on the NAS... will the printer still be picked up as a normal networked printer? The printer in question, by the way, is a Canon i865. This is a crucial thing for me and will decide if I get the iPad or not.
    Message was edited by: digitalinkblot

    Really? Nobody knows?
    Have decided to get the iPad anyway, have placed order, so when it arrives I'll try it myself and post the results back here, so that should anyone be having the same issue there's the info somewhere out there...

  • Buffalo Linkstation & OS 10.4 inconsistencies?

    Hello:
    Our Buffalo 160GB Linkstation has 3 folders: info, share, & share-mac. Some files placed into the "share" folder are arbitrarily renamed, some cannot be trashed (for no apparent reason), & some folders appear that were never created or pasted into the server. Our recent mishap came when we downloaded photos directly into the server and they disappeared.
    Question: Should we just erase the server folder & start over? Is the Buffalo Linkstation really compatible with OS 10.4? Any thoughts would be warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated.
    Karl @ RJF's office

    Just a bump.
    So what's the easiest way to undo a software update? Or does it require a fresh install of the OS?
    10.4.10 is causing the problem, I can deal without having the update.
    Help me remove 10.4.10!

  • 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 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?

  • 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 Pro Duo and Time Machine

    I am thinking of buying the Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo 1Tb as a backup for my work based Macs (2 Power Mac G5's). My main machine has 350Gb and a 150Gb drives, while my second one has a 150Gb drive. None of the drives are anywhere near full. For this reason, I think that I could even get away with backing up to 500Gb RAID (the Buffalo has 2x500Gb). Although as a backup drive, it may not be as important to have RAID.
    Anyway.....I read a review about the Buffalo that said that it could only handle 128 characters for filenames including the directory structure. Will this matter with Time Machine?
    I am also thinking of the same drive as a RAID for my home network to store photos and maybe as Time Machine backups of user folders. Again will a 128 character limitation be a problem if I simply store photos on the drive and do not use Time Machine?
    Thanks,
    Charlie

  • 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.

  • 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).
