Can't see content in AirPort Disks

I have three LaCie drives connected to my TC via a USB hub. The drives mount OK but I can not see any contents (0 items) though the space available is correct. I suspect this is an issue with permissions but am not sure what permissions I need to change. Using AirPort Utility, under the Disks tab>File Sharing I have enabled file sharing with Secure Shared Disks set to "With Accounts".
If I select one of the drives and do a Get Info the owner is system (read and write), Group is wheel (read and write) and Others read and write. I have tried applying the permissions to enclosed items but this does not reveal the contents....
Any ideas??
Thanks
Tony

As a follow up, I can copy files onto the AirPort Disks so I guess the problem is that the files on these drives are not recognised as belonging to me (I guess external drives do not normally have specific owners). I guess that I will have to connect each drive to my machine directly and change the owner to my name, will this resolve the issue?? The negative of this would be that no one else would be able to connect.
My assumption in all of this is that AirPort Disks are only useful if you start off with an empty drive.

Seeing CONTENTS of Airport disk in Snapfish (Java or Active X???)

So I can access and use the airport disk from Windows Explorer.
From within the www.snapfish.com "picture upload chooser" I can see the disk, but can't see any files (or more important sub directories) within the file browser in the web pop-up from snapfish (Firefox).
Any ideas would be appreciated
-Kevin
P.S. on my MacBook also with Firefox the airport disk is entirably usable, the problem there is that it only lets you choose one image at a time to upload as opposed to all images in the directory (like a local disk on windows)so if anyone has any ideas there that is an alternative...

So, I tried resetting the AEBS and that worked for a day. Then it went back to the error. I was booted and I still cannot connect to my Airdisk. Never had this problem in 10.6.x. Any thoughts?
This problem is just for connection to the directory, not for backing up.

Can't see content of Airport USB drive.

Just got my MacBook Air.
I have set up a USB drive on my AEBS, which I can access just fine via my old MacBook.
On my new MB Air, I can see the base station in the finder side bar. When selected I can see the name of the drive. When selected, I cannot see any files or folders on that drive. I can't read or write.
How should I set up the MB Air to allow full access to the Airport USB drive?

I'm having the same issues. Random folders throughout the server are not displaying their content. I can see the contents of these folders in Tiger, just not leopard.
I'm connecting to a Windows 2003 Server with Service Pack 2 using SMB, not AFP like Taliesin above.

ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

Question for those who know iCloud.
If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.

I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

Can see contents of remote disk, but can't see it's contents

Hi community.
My configuration: MBA 13" (late 2010) and a Win7 computer with a DVD drive. Done everything as described in this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
On MBA, I see the entry "Remote disk" on the sidebar, i see my Win7 PC in the list.
But when I expand it, the contents are empty (a dvd is inside and I can see it both by file sharing and by RDP on Windows)
What do I do wrong? Tx in advance

I can see the Windows PC, but I cant see the drive.
So I only can do a 'Get info' on the PC and it says 'PC server'

Can't see files on airport extreme shared disk

I have a airport extreme and had a external harddrive connected via usb, formated fat32. I was able to see and use all files on it within my network via imac or xp,vista and win 7. I decided to buy a wd mybook with larger drive to give myself more storage. When I received the my book, out of the box it was formatted fat32. so I attached it to my vista machine via usb and copied the files I had on the airport shared disk to it. now, when I hook up the mybook to my airport and connect to it from any machine on my network I can't see my files. I can connect to fine but, its like they are hidden. I can tell they are there because of how much space is used up on the drive.

I have seen others have issues with those mybook drives, and I think they have s0me sort of DRM built in. What type of files are these?

Can't see contents of USB hard drive connected to Time Capsule

Hi. I have a USB hard drive connected to my Time Capsule (which I just got today). I just want to use it as a shared drive, so that the users in my home can use it to access common files (media files, stuff like that).
The TC's set up is to enable file sharing with accounts. AirPort Disk Guest Access is not allowed.
When I authenticate as a user via Finder I can see the disk, see that disk space has been used, but can't see the contents. I'm guessing this is because the files that are actually on there belong to some other user.
Is my guess right? Any suggestions as to how we can all use it as a transfer drive?
Col

Fixed it. I connected the USB drive directly to my computer, and dragged the folder into the 'Shared' folder, which Time Capsule had created. The original folder is now visible, which is what I wanted!

Can I stream content on AirPort Extreme to Apple TV?

Hello,
I am considering purchasing a AirPort Extreme. I am wondering if I can stream the content saved on the hard drive through Apple TV?
Thanks.

Do you have a hacked (JB is term used here).. atv1 or atv2 the answer is yes..
If you have a standard ATV or ATV3 which is not hackable.. then the answer is no. Your files can be stored on the disk plugged in.. but there is nothing in the AE to stream it... it is a router not a media computer. It has no brains.. at all..
See the poem.. Banjo Patterson. The man from ironbark. http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/authors/patersonab/poetry/ironbark.html
There were some gilded youths that sat along the barber's wall.
Their eyes were dull, their heads were flat, they had no brains at all;
That is what you need to think of the Airport Extreme.. it has a flat head.. dull eyes..no brains.. Same applies to the TC btw.. where other brands might include DLNA server, itunes server.. twonky media server.. apple has none.. So you must hava a computer running to pick up the files from the AE or TC to stream it to the network. so the ATV.. can pickup the stream and send it to video.

Can not see wireless TM in disk utility or desktop.

Am I running a TM Airport (router) it runs great, I love everything about it and the backups have no issues.
But I wanted to partition my 500mb drive on my TM yet for some reason I can not see the drive either on my desktop or in disk utility. Is there some setting I need to change somewhere else to be able to view this wireless drive and configure it? I looked via Airport Utility and the only option there is to archive or erase it, at least that can see it.
When the backup starts I do see a mounted drive show up.
Any ideas?

It does not show up because when I am not backing up, it gets disconnected...

Since software update, can't see contents of iPod when connected to iTunes

About 2 days ago, when I connected my iPod to my pc (iTunes), it said there were some software updates for my iPod so I downloaded them and the iPod rebooted itself. Once it came back up, my iPod showed up in iTunes under "devices" on the left hand sidebar. I got the registration page - I usually click register later, but nothing happened this time. It didn't bring me into my iPod. So I tried to Register. I could get so far, then it asked if I wanted some free movie or something, I said NO THANKS, CONTINUE, but nothing happened. I wasn't registered AND I couldn't access my iPod. I can see my iPod under My Computer. I can see "sandra's iPod" uder devices in iTunes. BUT, I can't get to the content when connected to iTunes. All of my stuff is there on the iPod. I can play my iPod when it's not connected to iTunes - but I can't see the content, manipulate playlists, delete songs, etc. when connected to iTunes. I am almost positive this is a result of the latest software updates to the iPod. I have not updated iTunes - I didn't want to and compound the problem. I'm not a techy person - so please be gentle! Thank you. Sandra

Resolved at home.

How can I see content on web sites that require adobe flash player?

We installed a web tv from our clinic but it requires adobe flash player, how can I see this stuff?

Despite what has been said, there is no Flash player for iOS devices.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
There are some browsers like Skyfire that can play some Flash content, but performance varies so try different apps to see if any can display the sites you go to...but don't expect greatness.

My account, my files, but can't see them in Target Disk mode?

I have a desktop machine and a laptop (PowerMac G5, Intel MacBook) both running 10.4.11. When the laptop is connected to the desktop in Target Disk mode, I can't see my laptop user account's desktop files, or files in the Document and other folders. I make clone backups of the laptop onto an external drive using SuperDuper, and have this problem in that environment as well. I understand that this is about account permissions etc. but how can I get access to an (admin) account that I myself manage?
SuperDuper tells me that it is because the short names for the accounts are different. Should I take the drastic step of using the utility ChangeShortName to change one of the names? Or is there a more ordinary fix?
Thank you--
Hester

Thank you Niel, for your suggestion.
However, it does not seem to do the trick. I did allow "All others" full read/write access to the account's Desktop, Documents, and other folders, but when I restarted the laptop in Target Disk Mode, the red minus signs are still there and I still get the message telling me I do not have sufficient access privileges. I am able to see the files in the account on the laptop that has the same short name as the account I'm using on the desktop, which is why I asked about changing the short name.
I am the administrator of both computers but have different account names for the primary accounts I use on each. This is a problem to me in Tiger. I used to be able to transfer files easily from the laptop when it was in Target Disk Mode.

Is Flash Cache fully transparent? Can I see content of a flash cache?

Hi,
is there possibility to see content of a flash cache like v$bh ?

On the cell layer, you can do
CellCLI> list flashcachecontentThat returns several info about the flashcached objects, amongst others the objectnumber that you can retrieve on the Database Layer with DBA_OBJECTS (object_id there).
AFAIK, there is no direct view on the Database Layer for that.
Kind regards
Uwe Hesse

P.S.
Example for looking at multiple Cells for FlashCache info about a certain table:
dcli -g cells.txt "cellcli -e list flashcachecontent attributes cachedKeepSize,cachedSize,hitCount where objectnumber=75698"Usage of dcli as above is explained here:

Airport Extreme works fine but I can't see it in Airport Utility

Have seen numerous posts on this issue but no solutions!
I have a MB Pro running 10.4.11, Airport Extreme and Airport Utility 5.2.1. The Airport Extreme works perfectly, with no connection issues, but I cannot see it anymore in Airport Utility. I have another Airport Express hooked up to my stereo (for airtunes only), and can see this in Airport Utility, but not the Extreme. The Extreme used to appear here, but no more. Otherwise works fine. Just need to be able to reconfigure it.
Anyone know what the fix is????

I have this same issue. Internet works, I can connect to it, but i doesn't show in the Airport Utility. Also, it doesn't let me connect to other computers or my AirDIsk. I am using 10.5. Unplug and plugin style reset fixes it...for a while. Any ideas anyone?
