Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can.
You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.

Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

Viewing files on a hard disk attached to airport extreme

I recently had issues with seeing a hard disk attached to airport extreme. The problem i had was that the hard disk had to be formatted in FAT-32 format which I did and fixed that problem. Now the data on that drive can not be accessed or modified from my PC ( windows 7) over the wireless network. When i look in my windows explorer the hard disk comes up on the network as airport drive Z and it has crosses in front of the files on the drive and a message that i do not have permission to access thes files. Any ideas would be appreciated in how to fix this. Thanks. darryl

Is there no way that time machine can delete the oldest back up when it becomes full?
Time Machine will automatically start to delete the oldest backups first to make room for new backups when the drive is full. It has worked this way since its introduction about 4 years ago.
The one thing that can throw this off is if the drive is near full, and you suddenly ask Time Machine to make a very large backup. Then, Time Machine can have problems, and you have to manually delete some older backups.
I thought about time capsule, but someone told me that it runs very hot and has no off switch.
Well, the Time Capsule is an AirPort Exreme in a larger case with a built in hard drive. My 4th Generation Time Capsule and 3rd Generation AirPort Extreme both run about the same, heat wise in my experience. If anything...the AirPort Extreme runs a bit warmer than the Time Capsule....if my hand is any kind of accurate indicator. And, as you know, the Airport Extreme does not have an "Off" switch either.
I spoke to a lady in the Apple store today about a bigger drive and asked her what will happen when it gets full. She suggested that then I get another one. Sounds pretty crazy to me!
Sounds like a salesperson....hoping that you will buy more stuff.

How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

Hello,
How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.

System keeps looking for a 'server' that does not exist. Is says the old name of my Airport Extreme. Clicking it away (4x) it gets through.

Other weirdness to report: my neighbor upstairs appears to have a Linksys router network on channel 6. My AEBS is on channel 1 so there shouldn't be interference... but according to iStumbler sometimes the signal leaps to 64000 (keep in mind my own Airport never tops 60)! Is that potentially the problem?
Might it be possible that your neighbor just acquired a 802.11n (pre-N) wireless router recently?
802.11n effectively increases capacity by doubling the number of Wi-Fi radios and increasing the number of antennas used to push signals out of those radios. 802.11n splits a data frame into multiple pieces. It then transmits these pieces in parallel using multiple radios that are attached to multiple antennas. These antennas blast out signals from virtually the same vantage point – scattering the signals everywhere.
You may find the following ZDNet article interesting: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=247
Even if he did not, and you are on good terms, you might want to ask if he can temporarily turn off his wireless, or, at least, reduce the signal strength to see if that will help in your situation.

HELP!!! Can't access my files in my WD hard drive

I have a 500gb WD hard drive with a bunch of files in it that I always used with my macbook. Recently I wanted to share some files with a friend who is Windows vista user, and I plugged the drive into his computer but didn't work at all (the computer froze)...
Then when I tried using the hard drive in my macbook again, I couldn't access my files...the computer doesn't even read it. When I open disk utilities, I see that the hard drive is there but it's impossible to access it.
I have over 16,000 files saved in the drive...and they're very important. I don't wanna go through formatting the thing, cuz I don't wanna lose those files. I need to access those files ASAP.
Is there any way that I can access them again? Or formatting is my only choice?

I assume you mean this was your TM drive? Windoze can't read the format it's in, and certainly would not understand the special structure used for TM backups. In trying to read the drive, the PC has apparently corrupted it.

Can you do a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on it via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder)? If it finds errors but can't fix them all, run it again (and again) until it either fixes them all or can't fix any more.
If DU won't let you do that, it's barely possible that a heavy-duty 3rd-paty app such as Disk Warrior (4.1.1 or 4.2) can fix it. It's about $100, though, and there's no guarantee it will work.

HT4859 Can't access my files uploaded to iCloud, yet iCloud shows 2 out of 5 gigs used. How can I access my files?

I recently had an issues with my old iPhone 4s. I took it in to the apple store but the night before made sure I backed up my files to iCloud. After doing so I made sure my files were backed up because it went from 0 of 5 gigs to 2 of 5 gigs used. When I got my new phone, also an 4s, I tried to recover my contacts and pictures from iCloud, yet nothing happened. When I logged into icloud.com it shows no old contacts, actually none at all. I also can't figure out how to access my old pictures and files on icloud.com. When I go to icloud's settings on my iPhone it clearly shows 2 gigs of files yet when I try to restore the files to my new phone nothing actually gets added to the new phone. How can I access these files???? Anyone have any idea??

just tried restoring from backup and it didn't list it as one of the backup options after i wipe out the iphone yet for some reason it shows up when i go through settings>>>manage storage. thanks anyway. i may have to bite the bullet and sit and wait for a few hours at the apple store, argh...

Why after firmware update to Airport Express 2nd generation on 12 Aug can I not wirelessly access access hard disks connected to airport

During the firmware install there was a problem so that the status light on airport express was amber. It would change to gree for a short while after re-plugging the USB connection between the Airport and hard desk drives (via a hub).
I can see the hard disks listed on the macbook (OSX 10.7.5) finder but not the files on the desks. The hard desk listing have also come up on the imac (OSX 10.6.8) but not often and again there are no files listings available.
A Brothers LaserJet printer sometimes also connected to the hub and then airport also sometimes requires a re-plugging of the USB connection between the hub and airport.

Apple uses Akamai for their software distribution.
See
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3923
The latter (http://swcdn.apple.com) currently redirects to the Akamai content distribution network that hosts the updates. Note that the redirected IP address of http://swcdn.apple.com may vary over time or by geographic region.
and https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/akamais-state-of-the-internet/id800491468?mt=8
Many of the large computer companies use akamai for software.. so it may have picked up those addresses from clients behind the Express.. although normally their IP should show directly.

How do I access my hard drive connected to airport extreme?

I've already imported video to my hard drive. I had it previously connected via firewire. It's there in an imovie 08. However, when I open up imovie in the "Event Library" panel, my hard drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point on it. Does anyone know how I can access this?
Do I have to choose "import" first and then copy the movie back into imovie? I think this would defeat the purpose of storing the footage on the external drive, right? I'm trying to make my first movie, so please be gentle if this is an easy question to answer. It's throwing me for a loop right now.
Thanks again!

sorry, the hard drive is connected via USB to my airport extreme. Here's how i can look at the files:
Macintosh HD, under "shared" i select my hard drive, open it and then click on imovie events, then i can access the 19 different folders which contain multiple clips in each folder, along with an imovie thumbs file etc.
However, in imovie when create a new project, then click on import, it will ask me where i want to save the files, and on the drop down arrow, the only choice is my macintosh HD and I can't choose anything else. I really don't want to save them to my computer's hard drive if i don't have to. It seems there should be an easier way to do this, but i'm overlooking something. I just want to be able to make a movie with the clips that are already saved on my hard drive which is connected via airport extreme. Thanks again!

What are some of the best iOS apps can remotely played videos, audios, photos and text files from a NAS hdd connected to Airport Extreme USB port? And how to configure this setup?

I have already set up NAS hdd as connecting it at USB port of Airport Extreme, i also want to remotely access it from iPhone, so what's the next step? What are some of the best iOS apps can remotely played videos, audios, photos and text files from the NAS hdd and how to configure this setup?

*Edit - I am not able to connect to the NAS when hardwired to the airport extreme.

HT201250 Can Time Machine backup files stored on external hard drive

Can Time Machine back up files that are stored on external hard drive and save them on a different external hard drive?
I have my pictures stored on an external hard drive connected to my iMac. I want to make an exact copy of the pictures folder on a separate external hard drive. Can Time Machine do that?
If yes, how?
If no, what's a good way to create a mirror of the folder on External Hard Drive #1 (the original) on External Hard Drive #2 (the backup)?
I am not opposed to manually copying every couple weeks or month, but (1) it's less convenient and (2) I got an error message the first time I tried this saying the files couldn't be copied because some of the files being copied had the same name as each other (not exactly that, I'm at work and don't have the message in front of me right now, but that was the gist of it).
Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

Can I view media files stored on an external hdd connected to a wifi router

Hi there, been searching but most the discussions seem quite old. I have a wifi router with a usb port for connecting an external hdd to. My ps3 will see the hdd but can I also get my iPad/iPhone to view the media files store on the hdd. Are there apps I need or settings I need. I currently use air video to stream from my pc but I am about about to change my pc for a laptop which will not be connected to an external drive constantly. Which is why I want to connect my hdd to my router, plus save on electric to run my desktop constantly.
So is it possible?
What do I need?
I'm a bit of an idiot so any settings I may need would be gratefully received too lol
Its an o2 wireless box 4, 500gb external hdd currently ntfs file system. I do not have apple tv either.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give

8player does it, haven't tried it for a full episode yet but seems stable, plug hdd into router and open 8player on your device, browse to router and attached hdd and play the file. avi and mp4 work no prob and there is a lite version if you want to try it out yourselves

Thanks for the warning message apple. i have wiped my harddrive lost all my home folder and am now panicking becuase some of the data was for a charity that i help out with and can't exactly go asking for the information again. i presume if my old home folder was there i would see it in the user account on my external drives backups? any help would be appreciated but think i am now losing the will to live.
Cue the massive shouting match when i have to explain this to the charity secretary

Read a bfile and write its contents in a file stored in my hard disk

I will try to describe my problem as clearly as I can.
I have created a table that includes a LOB column "BFILE"
Then I'm trying to READ the BFILE stored in our database using the
DBMS_LOB package.
so far so good.
Now I want to write these data that I have read in the step above in a file
saved in my local disk. The problem is, since the file in databse is
stored as binary and I read Raw Data , I cannot create an exact copy of this
file. It seems that It doesn't write the RAW data in the binary format.
I have used the DBMS_LOB.READ to read the data and it works fine.
Now I want to create a file in my local disk and dump the data that I have
read from the BFILE that has been initially stored in the database.
Is there any solution to this problem?
I hope to hear from you soon
Thanks in advance

ignore me now.... I answered my own question a short while
ago.
for anyone who cares....
I used CFHTTP to get the page and then used a cffile to write
the #cfhttp.filecontent# into the new file!
