Connect wifi to WDTV Live

We have a Tompson TG782T router and wifi usually works perfectly for all of our devices (phones, ipads and labtops). We've recently signed up to Netflix to start a 30 day free trial and would like to use our WDTV Live.We've never been able to get this device to connect to wifi. I've tried putting in the IP address and everything in manually several times (different people have also tried). Have also tried using the manual set up option. Different people have tried to put in the password several times also.Has anyone else experienced this? How did you fix it? Do we have to buy another multimedia device?

Did a bit more digging and sorted it.
Entered modem set up via these instructions..
https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Modems-Hardware/Thomson-TG782T-modem/td-p/157902
Manually set router channel to 11, re-did WDTV set up as required and it worked first go.
Not sure why, but it worked.
Cheers.

WDTV Live will not connect to network

Hi all, my WDTV Live suddenly stopped connecting to my home network. The unit freezes on the opening screen and nothing else happens. The hard drive hooked up to it fires up and the signal is going through to the tv. I have tried the reset button on the bottom of the unit. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply, Joey. I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your message. I'm a noobie at these forums...please be patient. I have been using the unit to stream Netflix via the wireless network in the house.. Everything has been hooked up the same way for months now, with no problems. Where do I find the factory reset instructions?JoeySmyth wrote:remove your hdd and try a factory reset via the ui ....Setup > System > Device Reset > Reset All Settings Back to Factory Default

WDTV Live has lost all content, Root Directory no longer showing on PC - HELP

Hi All, I disconnected my WDTV Live last night from my TV and connected directly to my router with a network cable. When I click on the WDTV under networks in my computer there is nothing there at all! no root folder, none of my files etc. I have tried dropping a new folder in there but it wont let me and the option to right click add new folder is not availble. When plugged back to the tv there is no file contents either, everything is gone. Please help, I'm runnning Windows 7, the WD still turns on, I have no files no root directory, NOTHING!

A co-worker of mine is having a very similar problem with her WD Media Hub. I was the one who helped her get it setup when she first purchased the media hub (a few years back) and so she came to me when she recently went to use it and it acted like as if there was no content on the thing at all. She brought me the device to work and i was able to get it connected to the network and access it via IE (using the web page at http://10.70.0.86:80/) but any attempt to connect directly via windows explorer fails. The hubs name is the default WDTVLiveHub and when I type in \\WDTVLIveHub\ in Windows Explorer it can’t find the device nor can I map a network drive to it. This is how we originally setup her media hub with content, using Windows Explore to copy a bunch of content. When I was able to access the device via IE at 10.70.0.86:80 I went to the System and selected Storage and in the drop down for device the drop down is blank with nothing to select. In the top right there as a red exclamation mark and when I selected it I got a warning saying the drive's was near capacity. This tells me the files are there but for some reason they can’t be accessed. I did a hard reset via the button on the bottom of the device but that did not fix the problem with accessing it via Windows Explorer. I told her to take it home and see if it will work for her when she hooks it up to her tv,.It’s definitely not a firmware update issue because she's not had it connected to the internet so any firmware update would have had to been done manually. Any feedback or troubleshooting suggestions is most welcome.

WDTV Live depuis un Macbook

Bonjour, Je souhaite accéder au boitier WD TV Live depuis mon Macbook mais n'y parviens pas. Mon pb est bien du lien du Macbook vers le WD TV Live et non l'inverse. Le but étant de regarder sur le Macbook des vidéos présentes sur le disque dur branché sur le WD TV. Le boitier WD est relié en filaire à une Box (LaBox by Numéricable). Mon Macbook se conecte à la box en Wifi. Dans le menu "Partagés" du Finder du Macbook, je vois bien le "WDTV Live" mais lorsque je clique dessus pour y accéder, j'ai le message "Echec de la connexion" au bout de quelques minutes. Pas de problème d'accès depuis un PC sous Windows. Pouvez vous m'aider ? Merci

I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
Thanks

Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

Access to my Windows "Store" is only via my Wife's MS Live Sign-In UserID and there is No Way to Change it I can Find

THE ISSUE:
Whenever i go to the Windows Store on my 8.1 Pro Laptop and try to install **Anything**, Windows asks for me to sign onto my Windows Account but **ONLY** Offers me the choice of signing onto my Wife's account.
NOTES:
(1) I have already signed onto my Microsoft Account: at the time of booting into Windows on my Laptop [i.e., entered my "[email protected]' MS Live userid for signing in].
(2) There are no Options (that I can find) within the Windows Store to allow me to designate a Different ID (That is: My Windows ID [email protected], rather than my wife's Windows ID of '[email protected]'). That is, the sign-on screen comes
up **Automatically** with the UserID of my wife ("[email protected]"), ONLYT allowing me to enter the **Password** for That Particular UserId - but **Not** change the UserID
(3) When I then go to my Browser and sign into Microsoft Live **directly** with my [email protected] MS Live Userid, there are no Options **Anywhere** in my ID Profile, Account, - OR Anywhere Else [I looked at Every Menu Option for my MS Live account]
to allow me to ensure that the ID "[email protected]" is somehow an alias that I can delete, or in any other way "Tell" MS Live to ONLY use my [email protected] MS Live Account for the MS Store. Simply Speaking: that ID [My
wife's "[email protected]" ID] does NOT Show Up ANYWHERE under ANY Menu in my Microsoft Live Account, so even if I sign [again, since it did it at Boot time also already] into my MS Live Account, there is nowhere where there is some "Option"
to somehow "Turn Off" the recognition of ONLY my wife's Microsoft Live ID from my Window's Store.
Yes, I suppose I **Could** simply ask my wife for her ID - EXCEPT Guess What? She asked for it to be deleted when she ran into MS Login problems on her laptop (perhaps because she forgot the PW) and I've been told recently By MS Support that indeed
it has been deleted.
Sooo: Is There Any Way To Even Manually (in the Registry or elsewhere) Fix This Issue?
[B-T-W: I think the problem originally occurred when my wife tried to purchase MS Office 365 University and had major problems creating a MS Live ID and being able to Login to get to her machine. Once she had purchased the subscription
- which was for TWO Machines - I used her ID at that time to try and get access to the install files for a copy MS Office 365 University to install on **My** laptop as well. I think that is when I originally was able to input her ID ("[email protected]")
somewhere as I tried to get to Office 365, which was purchased under her "[email protected]" ID. It Never Worked - because she forgot her password somehow, so I eventually gave up on that approach and she asked for her money back for her
purchase of MS Office 365 University and was given nit back. Since I still wanted MS Office 365 University, I used a link from an email sent me by Microsoft to purchase, download, and install MS Office 365 University thru my OWN [email protected]
MS Live account. But this never succeeded in "Changing" this issue I've described above of all access to MS Store coming up with my wife's "[email protected]" MS Live ID automatically to sign into the Store.]

FangZhou:
What I meant by the sentence "ONLY Offers me the choice of signing onto my Wife's account." is
that my Windows Store shows my Wife's OLD (I say "OLD" because according to Microsoft, it has since been deleted) Microsoft Account UserID - NOT **My** UserID, and doesn't allow for any means or option to switch out the UserID that is being presented.
It only allows for input on the password, which won't do me any good, since my wife (1) Doesn't remember her hardly-ever-used Microsoft Account userid Password and (2) I really should be able to use my **Own** Microsoft Account UserID anyway, to which
I **do** know the password.
In any case, I ran the Troubleshooter you pointed me to (Thanks!). But the Troubleshooter did **Not** complete successfully, because the ms-windows-store:PurgeCaches file is **Missing** (this error message came up while the Troubleshooter was running,
and also the Troubleshooter results indicated only one of the three problems it found with the Windows Store on my machine had been fixed, the principle cause being exactly because this particular file is indeed missing) ==> see the following messages cut
'n pasted from the Troubleshooter's Results:
Windows Store Apps

Now that I've run this Troubleshooter, I have a **Completely Different [and seemingly WORSE] Problem** with the Windows Store on my machine: when I click on it, I am sent Right Back to my Windows Desktop - every time. I don't even get Into the
Windows Store AT ALL - immediately after clicking, the screen changes back to The Desktop.
Any Thoughts on how I rebuild/recreate this Windows Store Cache file; or otherwise fix my access to Windows Store now?

Mac mini and WDTV Live

My Mac mini (10.7.4) needed the following workaround in order for my WDTV Live to see my min's HD.
http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/search/1/a_id/8538/c/130/p/208,393
The directory on my main HD is visible in LINUX, not NFS as noted. Works fine. However all my movies are on a USB HD and I'm having no succes in adding the USB HD to be visible on my WD. I've tried the drive name itself, the drive name plus a first level file name and creating an alias on the mini HD that points to the USB HD. All 3 options work in FINDER > GO > Go to Folder. However when running "showmount -e", the display says anything mapped to the USB HD is (offline) and the WD says that directory is unavailable. Any one have any ideas on how to correctly name a path that includes a USB disk drive?

Finally found the answer on a Mac Developers site. Need the word "Volumes" in front of the drive name.
/Volumes/<drivename>
Works great.

XBOX ONE. I have the xbox one and the airport time capsule and cant connect to most xbox live games and zero parties. I have 0 experience in all this but somehow was able to change NAT to open but still wont connect. HELLLPPPP

Okay folks, I need your help out there.
So the nerdy side of me went and picked up the XBOX ONE on release day. Its awesome by the way, BUT..... I cant seem to connect to most xbox live games and absolutely ZERO parties. At first I just thought it was something to do with the xbox itself and would eventually fix itself, but i was wrong. After looking into it on microsoft, i found out that it had to do with my NAT settings on the airport itself. I guess apple and xbox are not compatiable for xbox live and it makes it difficult to have an open NAT setting and is a huge PAIN.
I was able to pinpoint one that the airport time capsule was blocking the IPV6 something or another. Anyways, I unblocked that, and reset the modem and time capsule and jumped on the xbox and now have open NAT settings but still cant connect to multi-player.
Upon further searching, i was told to uncheck the UPNP on my time capsule as well, but have no idea how to find that.
I know it seems confusing, but thats the best i can describe it.
tthanks all

Be a long long time before I see an Xbox One.. but whoever told you to uncheck the upnp in the TC.. tell them their dreamin' .. upnp is not support by Apple in any computer or router, never has been.. Apple deliberately wrote their own version called NAT-PMP to do the same thing.. dynamically open ports at the request of an application or client computer.
So there is nothing like that to uncheck.. and as a matter of interest.. there no box to check or uncheck for NAT-PMP either.. since apple do not believe in end user adjustment of settings.. they simply do not exist.
You will have to manually forward all ports required by the Xbox via the TC. For multi-player games you probably need to open more ports than the standard to allow just xbox live. You will need to check the ports required and open them.
OR
Buy a standard vista UPNP compatible router.. and use that.. and simply put the TC in bridge in the network.
I have not seen posts yet about xbox one.. but there are plenty about xbox and ps3 and the fact that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about games consoles.
This is a good basic post for older xbox.

I connect wifi i have a problem error message shows no IP ADDRESS

i connect WIFI i have aproblem error message shows dont have ip address. How to solve this problem

Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

Update time capsule, since ipod not connect wifi to time capsule

Hello,
Since I update my Time Capsule(7.5.1), I cannont connect my ipod touch to wifi time Capsule.
message ipod is : impossible de rejoindre le réseau RES_Didier
My iMac is connected, my PC Windows is connected ans my Apple TV to.
Only my ipod cannot connect.
But, if i connect my ipod to an other wifi network it is ok.
That is only with my time capsule that I cannot connect wifi!!
Do you know why ? can you help me ? (sorry my english is not very good)
Thanks
Didier

Did you upgrade install Mavericks? I think this can lead to all kinds of issues.. clean install the OS is the only way.
Do a full factory reset of the TC..
Use all SMB names.. that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
I strongly recommend when you have trouble.. even different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So you can keep track of where the issue is.
Also use ethernet.. if you have not got ethernet port, buy a Thunderbolt to ethernet (much the preferred) or USB to ethernet.. if thunderbolt is missing or used.
Open network utility on your computer and find the listing for the TC.
ie scan via netstat.
Make sure you have ipv6 turned on to link local.. this is now essential.
Use the IP address if it is static rather than name.. and try it in full network isolation by ethernet.
So Go .. Connect to server.
AFP://10.0.1.1 (at default IP)
The default password is public.. you will need to type in a password.
If it fails the TC could be faulty.
Use ping via the terminal to make sure the network is working.

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.
