Can't see 2TB HD on Network

I have hooked up several USB hard drives to my Airport Extreme router and have been able to access them without a problem on my network. However, I just got a 2 terabyte Hitachi SimpleDrive and can't access it. When I go to the Disks tab on the Airport Utility I can see the drive showing the capacity but the name of the drive does not show up (where as it does with other external drives). The drive is formatted as Mac journalized. I tried reverting the earlier firmware 7.4.1 as was suggested in a post on this forum but this didn't help and I'm not back on 7.4.2. I'm wondering if this drive isn't compatible with the Airport Extreme or if the Extreme doesn't support 2 TB drives. I'd be interested in anyone's experience with 2 TB drives and the Airport Extreme.

No need to do anything on the modem other than pull the power plug.
The start up sequence is important, so after everything is powered down (order not important on power down) start the modem first and let it run alone for a few minutes, then start the device directly attached to the modem and let it run a moment or two, then your attached hard drive for a few minutes and then your computers.

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

It appears an SMC reset was required:
HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't see files on a network Hard Drive

So I have a new airport extreme and I wanted to put a drive on the network. I have two HDDs: one is the time machine that I normally have connected to my computer and another is a Hitachi that I just have Movies on. Both of them will show up under the APE in the shared, but none of the files that are on the drives show up as being there. I also tried backing up when my time capsule was on the network (I could see the shared drive icon on the desktop) but it said the backup volume couldn't be found. When I look at the disks in the airport utility it says that they have things written, but I can only see the empty free space when I open them from my MB. Can I access the files that are normally on the drives from the network without having to reformat them?
The Hitachi is formatted under the Journaled Mac OS as well.

I had the drive on a user password, but changed it to just be accessible if you were connected to the router. With this setting I can see the files on my movie drive, but when I try to do I time machine backup, it just sits on the "making backup disk available" and never is able to start the backup. Is there some trick to allowing the disk to backup from the airport?

Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
-Andrew

Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

Mac Mini can't see the same wireless networks as a Aluminum 24" Imac ....

I have a question for ya'll. Is there any reason why my new Mac mini 2.0g system can't see the wireless networks that my Imac can?
What I mean, is that I can see two Networks with my Imac:
1. Mine
2. Other networks around me.
On the Mini, using 10.4 or 10.5 My mini can only see my wireless network. Which is only 1 foot away from the mini (and Imac).
It has been suggested to me that my antenna is bad ... Are there ways to test this? Or is it just inherit for the mini?

The Mini has a much smaller antenna (the size of a larger postage stamp) -- and it is located in the back upper right corner, as you face the mini from the front.
The antenna is less capable than the larger antenna in the iMac, and it is more easily blocked. Make sure nothing is between it and your wifi router.

Why can I see other peoples' WiFi networks but not my own?

This is a problem that started when an engineer came to replace our TV's set top box as well as our router a few weeks ago. I'll run through everything in quick bullet-point form...
-My flatmates are able to see and connect to our network with no issues at all on their XP laptops.
I, on the other hand, can not see or connect to our network at all. However, I am able to see other WiFi networks.
-Days of rebooting and replugging the router, my iMac and AirPort card prove fruitless.
-Throughout all this, the router is sat on top of the set top box, which is sat on top of the TV. I move the router down so its sat next to the TV and a plant. I'm able to see and connect to our network with no issues.
-Three weeks later, the problem has returned. I can't see our network but my flatmates aren't affected.
-Thinking it may just be poor reception in my room, I set up my Mac in the front room a couple of feet away from the router. I detect other networks, but still not my own.
-More unplugging and rebooting later, hallelujah, I can see and connect to our network. I take the Mac back to my room and try from there. No luck. The familiar XBoxLive8973498374, BT-HomeHub8934897, TalkTalk439847 (etc) and Sofia networks come up in my networks list as usual but not our own SpeedTouch459873439847 (etc).
We have a Thomson ST 585 router and I have an iMac G4 with the original AirPort card. Short of buying a new router, does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is situated a couple of feet from the router in the front room:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2308676274_00f5eba51c.jpg?v=0
Our network is the one labelled SpeedTouch. As you can see, my AirPort antenna seems to be working perfectly. However, the SpeedTouch connection (and only the Speedtouch connection) would be lost intermittently for several minutes at a time.
This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is in my room:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2308733380_dcdc2faccd.jpg?v=0
The SpeedTouch signal strength is obviously not as strong but still reasonable. I don't seem to have any issues anymore; I can see, connect and stay connected to our network with no real problem - but I haven't changed any settings on the router.

Can't see each other on network after installed OS 10.9.3

After i installed OS 10.9.3 on all of my Mac stations, they can't see any of the Mac anymore. The network router works fine, but they just won't see each other. I found these problem after install OS 10.9.3 to 2 of my Mac Pro. They can't connect to the Macbook Pro runing lower version of OS 10.9.2. Please help.

Can't see local computers in network neighborhood anymore

Hello,
I bought a WRT610N on Friday to replace my WRT54G and while it is running great I have a small issue.
If I go to browse my local network, I don't see a list of computers like I used to with the WRT54G
If I type \\computername then I can access the shares on each computer as well as be able to \\computername\c$
I can ping all of them and yes all of them are on the same workgroup as well as the router itself.
What setting I need disabled in the router so I can "see" my computers in network neighborhood
Thanks

Are you able to access the computer using the ip address of that particular computer....? Try that and check if you can access the computer using the ip address instead of the name.

Hi
The Wlan card driver seems to be installed properly so I think that you have forgotten to enable the WLan
note: the FN + F8 switches between the BT and Wlan.s o be sure that Wlan has been chosen instead of BT connection.

Mac's can not see or connect to network resources

Our company network is a windows network. We have a couple of remote users with Mac's. The Mac's connect to the network over a VPN. They can connect to the network through the VPN but can not see or connect to any network resources. What settings am I missing?

My problem is that once the VPN is established and I am on the network, none of the shares or resources are visible or able to be connected to.
VPN gets you connected to the network as if you were physically present in the office, but nothing more. Once you have successfully connected via VPN, you have to perform a seperate step to actually login to the server.
Also, some of the "it just works" aspects, like seeing all the things you can login to, before actually logging in to them, is a feature of Bonjour, which doesn't pass over VPN. You'll probably have to use the Finder Menu GO -> Connect to Server, and then type the server's IP address in manually.

Replace old router with WRT110 and now I can not see shared printer on network

Replaced a BEFW11S4 with a WRT110. Now I can not see a shared printer on the network any more. I have not changed anything on the computer that has the printer shared. I can see the internet on all the computers, but not the shared printer. can you help?

First which you need to check, is your printer is working Offline on your computer. In this case you need to Re-map your Printer on your Computers back again. First check if you have any Firewall or Antivurs Installed on your computer try to disable it and check if you are able to print from your computer. If not then try to Remap the printer on your computer.
Go to Network connections window and if you are able to see your computer name on which the printer is installed, then right click on the Printer and click on "Connect" or "MAP" once done you will be able to print from your computer.
Note down the IP address of the Computer on which you have Installed the Printer. (Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the command prompt type "ipconfig" and note down the Ip address, Then go to your other computer and Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and now in the Command prompt type "ping (IP address of your main computer) and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies. If yes, then again click on "Start - Run - type ( \\ip address of your main computer) and click Ok, and now you will be able to see your printer name then right click on it and click on "Connect" or Map, once done, now check if you are able to print from your computer.

Lately my Mac can't see my wi-fi network

I have a wi-fi connection that I'm using all the time.It always worked fine on my Mac but lately it can't see the network and I have to restart the router. After that I can get connected.This never happened before and it's weird because I have an iPhone and an iPad that are connected to the wifi all the time and is working just fine.Is there something wrong with my Mac or is just the router? And if it's the router, why my iPhone/iPad don't have any problems gettin connected?

IMac can not see Windows machine on network

Hi guys,
Before the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can connect and share with my Windows machine. However, after installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can not see my Windows machine work-group anymore. How to fix this problem ?
Im using 20' iMac running on Mac OS X 10.4.8
Please help.

If reinstalling the current update doesn't work, perhaps that is because the update was completed properly, but in the process has messed up configuration settings files and preferences. If you can't find any problems in your settings through System Preferences, then there are probably hidden errors in the .plist files and the way to correct that is by manually wiping out all your network settings files and redoing everything in Network preferences may be a quicker fix than brain surgery. Try deleting these files, then reboot and redo your network settings appropriately..
These are all in the folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Note, this will wipe out all network-related settings, and force the OS to rebuild default preference settings files for the built-in network devices. This is sometimes the only thing that will clear up bizarre networking issues, but generally speaking, it works well.. just don't forget to thoroughly note all your proper network settings including wireless network passwords and all that before you perform this house cleaning for reference as a precaution.

AppleTV works on Mac over Wifi, but PC Can't See It On Same network

I have a 40GB AppleTV.
2 Computers:
MacBook
Windows
MacBook can see and connect to AppleTV perfectly
Windows can't see it at all.
Using an Qwest Actiontec PK5000 DSL Modem/Wireless Router.
Can you help?

If you using a firewall make sure the bonjour service is given privileges to allow both way coms without being blocked.
I have noted several times that my firewall, which is the MS security essentials, has disable bonjour. Giving privileges back and restarting iTunes sorts this type of problem.
