Can't see LaCie disk on any other computer except one

Okay, here's one I can't figure out. Maybe someone else can.
I just purchased an Airport Extreme and everything works as it should. However, when I plugged my LaCie Drive in the USB slot, in the Extreme, I find it shows up on my MacBook Pro desktop, but I can't see it on my daughter's iBook G4, my G4 desktop, or my wife's PowerBook G4. If I scan the Extreme config from any of the computers, it shows me the LaCie disk connected, but if I use the Airport Disk Utility, I only see it on my MacBook Pro. The utility shows nothing on the other computers.
Why is it showing up on one computer and not the others? Is it because my MacBook is Intel and the others are not, or am I just not configuring things correctly on the other computers?
Thanks, in advance, for any help on this

Ok, thanks for clarifying. You don't need to change any settings within the AirPort Utility, but let's double-check your Mac Mini's settings to make sure that it is both sharing the disk properly and that it's OS X firewall is not blocking the requests.
For File Sharing: System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing
o Make sure that the folders on your external hard drive, that you want shared, are selected in the Shared Folders window.
o Make sure that you have, at least, Everyone = Read Only set in the Users window.
o Select Options..., and then, verify that you have "Share files and folders using AFP" is enabled for Mac clients, and "Share files and folders using SMB" is enabled for Windows clients.
For the OS X Firewall: System Preferences > Security > Firewall
o If "Allow all incoming connections" is enabled, verify that: "File Sharing (AFP, SMB)" is now displayed in the list.

  • Can't see USB disk attached to other mac

    I have an Airport Express, on the network is a Mac Mini which has an USB disk attached to it (to the Mac Mini).
    However, I can't see the disk from any other mac that uses the Airport (this used to work)
    I've looked for "disk sharing" in Preferences and in the Airport Setup Utility, but couldn't find anything.
    I've also made the Sharing & Permissions of the USB disk for "Me" and "Everyone" as " Read & Write"
    Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Awfers

  • I can only see Inbox and not any other boxes (eg outbox, drafts, sent...)

    Thunderbird has been running OK for months but now I can only see my outbox. I cannot see any way to see anything else! I'd really like to get back to the display that shows the whole list of 'boxes' in, out, etc, and my custom name boxes. These usually appear in a column on the left. But I am stuck in Inbox. I can send mails OK. In fact I can access
    Get Mail, Write, Chat (not used), Address Book, and Quick Filter... and there's the search box. I could send a screen shot if you had a way for me to send it.
    I feel there's a button somewhere that could sort out my problem... but I've tried everything I can think of.
    So for now Thunderbird is of little use :( I hope you can help.

  • MacBook Air, no access to an external drive or any other computer with one. Just Internet.

    I bought a cs 6 design standard but i want to install it on my MacBook Air with no cd drive and I have no access to a computer with a working one so I can't transfer it to a flash drive. Can I just download it from here and if yes, where exactly?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks! It worked eventhough I downloaded he wrong thing (the Web Premium because I couldn't find the standard).  It just gives me a trial version of Dreamweaver and Flash which were not included in standard. But my serial worked with everything else.
    Again, thanks!

  • You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device

    When I try to download a library book on my Kobo reader, I keep getting this message. First it tells me to change the computer's authorization to be associated with an Adobe ID. When I click on authorize after logging in, the message keeps telling my "you can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device. I have no idea what this means. Help!

    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    Another is  "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

  • Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

    Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    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, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Hi there!!I have an emergency question,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

    Hi,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

    Forgotten passcode (Recovery Mode)
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?

    Dear Volunteers,
    I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
    a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display.
    b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload.
    c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
    Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
    With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
    Rajiv

    You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
    Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.
