Cannot access my WD world edition on Mavericks 10.9 finder

Hello my fellow mac-users
I seem to have a tiny prob. I've recently updated my Macbook pro 13' to the new Mavericks 10.9. And now I cannot access my WD My Book World Edition 1TB external storage.
I see it on the finder and I can access inside its configurations through Bonjour. But when I try to simply get in through Finder, putting the correct Username and Pass, it says:
"There was a problem connecting to the server "MyBookWorld". The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
Now I tried to find anything on the web, but all I found was a mere suggestion to buy a newer WD external drive - which is not an option for me.
I can easily connect it and see all of my files there when I'm on a Windows 7 operated computer.
Can someone help me out? PLEASE!!!
Thanks in advance!

I read this in the WD community written by a user called alazO and it has worked; hope this is useful
Find out what the IP address is for your NAS drive.  I set mine to a static address, so that it's always the same.  If you need help with this, let me know, and I'll give more info.  But in short, if you can log into your router, look under your networks tab and peruse -- you should be able to find it.
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server.  In the type-in box, put in afp:// IP address, if that does not fix it, put in smb://IP address.  So, if your NAS IP address is 192.168.1.100 (example), the you type in afp://192.168.1.100 in the box.  Then press Connect.  That should restart your connection.
AFP is Apple File Protocol -- it is Apple's version of file management over the network.  SMB is Server Message Block -- it is Microsoft's file managment over the network.  They both work for me.  SMB is more common among various Linux, Unix, Windows systems, and works with Apple.  I've read in blogs that Apple may be moving to SMB over AFP, but I don't know that for a fact.  I suggest trying both for your NAS, one may work faster than the other, and may depend on the firmware in your NAS.

  • Cannot access report attributes for editing

    I have a report/form combination. It's been working fine (both editing and running). I have made some changes to the report region definition source, successfully applied them, and they work as expected. However, I cannot (since yesterday, though it was fine before) access the report attributes. In the page definition, if I click on the 'report' to edit the report columns, I get an Internet Explorer error that the page cannot be found. Same thing if I try to access the report attributes by editing the region (the region definition and print attributes are fine, only the report attributes are inaccessible).
    I thought I'd start over, just to see if that helped. I created a new report/form combination on the same table, and on this new report I still cannot access the report columns.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?
    thanks,
    Carol

    Please ignore this; the issue was needing a patch to handle a bug.

  • Cannot access Windows Partition after Disk Utility (Mavericks)

    Today my Windows partition worked. So I thought, might as well fix the permissions of the drive and also repair the drive for any bootloader problems. Resulted in an error saying "Live file system repair is not supported".
    Mavericks still works boots fine. Windows on the other hand, does not appear when holding down the Alt/Option key at boot.
    Please, I don't need an official documentation that teaches me how to install Boot Camp correctly, I just need an experienced answer to explain what is going on, don't post just to get points please.

    I have this exact same problem. In my case, I had a Boot Camp partition set up and fully working, with Windows 8.1. Then, using Parallels 8, I set up a new VM to use that Boot Camp partition (following some instructions from Parallels that I found online).
    After that, Windows felt that disk repairs were needed, but it never successfully repaired them. So I went to disk utility, selected the whole hard drive (not just a partition), and did repair.
    This led to the error from Disk Utility: "Error: Live file system repair is not supported." And after that, when I reboot with the Option key held down, the Windows partition no longer is even shown. I hope like h*ll it isn't gone, because I had spent some time getting things setup on it.
    Someone, please help.

  • Access to BlackBerry World store of US while being outside US

    Hi BlackBerry
    I was wondering why the access to blackberry world is determined by which mobile carrier I'm currently using my phone with.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, If someone from the US for expample is out of the US and is using a sim card from the local carrier in the country that he is currently living in, he cannot access the BlackBerry world of the US, instead, he will gain access to the BlackBerry World of the country which he is currently living in.
    I think that Android also has the same concept with their users' ID's, which I see as very annoying compared to Apple, which gives you the opportunity to have your user profile linked to your country's AppStore by entering a valid address and a payment method relating to your country or issued from your country.
    Apple also gives the opportunity to the user to choose (No Payment) option and enjoy using and downloading all free apps, which is a very good option, and is currently available on BlackBerry and Android as well.
    I really Hope if BlackBerry can follow the same approach of Apple with while creating or editing the BlackBerry ID, in order to have the BlackBerry ID as "Country determined" and NOT to be as "Mobile Carrier determined" as the case is now. I hope also if you do so to keep the same flexibility (as now) of not obligating the user to enter a payment method while creating or editing a BlackBerry ID.
    I think that if BlackBerry considers and implements this, it will give a big push to its users and the traffic flow on he BlackBerry World for downloading and buying apps, movies, music,...etc, as it allow for example US users US to access the BB world of US while being outside US for a trip or work. The same will apply for other users from any country around the wold.
    So, I hope that BlackBerry will provide this flexibility as provided by Apple (and maybe a better one). Please consider this seriously and keep moving ahead.
    Regards.

    Hey ahmed_mh1,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Currently BlackBerry World will take the localization settings from the APN settings on your micro SIM card.
    If this does change in the future, I would suggest checking for updates at www.blackberry.com/appworld
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Cannot access to my WD world Edition

    Hello
    Hoping someone out there will have the answer to my dilemma
    I'm using Lion and Time Machine and have installed MyBookWorld Edition
    In Finder I now have 2 "shared drives" MyBookWorld and MyBookWorld-Backup.  There are the 2 folders in the MyBookWorld and I can connect as guest/admin.  However, MyBookWorld-Backup says Connection Failed.
    What I wanted to do was to take some  Time Machine files from my backup, transfer them to a pendrive and then let Time Machine carry on.  I
    Time Machine works and seems to backup but it seems as if I cannot access and browse the backup disk!
    So, now I am snookered, can anyone advise how to handle this?
    thank you so much
    ale

    Hi,
    I am having similar problems as you had, did you have any luck finding the answers? In my case I just wanted to understand what is the share called My worldbook-back and why I only get connection failed when I try to see what is there? Time Machine only recognizes this "back up" share for the Time Machine back ups, it does not see the "main" worldbook share....
    One more....can you see your WD on Safari/Bonjour? There are lots of features on the WD Network Storage Manager tool that I would like to use but I could not get Bonjour to show my worldbook.....
    In case you can point me to a place I can get the answers I would appreciate.
    Thanks,

    I can see a preview of the photos, but I cannot access or edit them.  They say "the folder cannot be located" and "the photo is missing".  I have gone through multiple Adobe tutorials to try and recover them to no avail.  Any tips?

    Backup catalogs wouldn't have helped with this problem anyway, but naturally, you shouldn't delete backup catalogs for a while.
    The solution to reconnecting the folders is given here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Now Mavericks is installed, I cannot access my downloads folder.

    Now Mavericks is installed, I cannot access my downloads folder. How do I click on items in the folder and get them to open? When I attempt to click on the items, nothing happens. Before Mavericks, I could click and get the folders to open.  Yes, I have used three different devices to try to click on them, so it is not my mouse/treackpad/Wacom pen. I am getting very frustrated with this new OS - this is not the only thing bothering me.

  • I upgraded to iOS x mavericks on my iMac now i cannot access my iPhoto i get this messageThis update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    I upgraded to iOS x mavericks on my iMac now i cannot access my iPhoto i get this messageThis update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. I have not changed anything thankyou for any info.

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, elect the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
