Connected a usb HD to the new airport extreme 802.11ac; how can I see the HD on my iPad?

I just purchased and set up the 802.11ac airport extreme. I have connected an usb HD; I can see it from my iMac and my MacAir laptop. Can I see the connected HD from my iPad air 2?

You can, if you install an App like FileBrowser on the iPad. Info below:

  • I just purchased a new airport extreme 802.11ac I set it up and runs fine when i put my mac to sleep i come back and it can not find my airport i have to restart

    I PURCHASED THE NEW AIRPORT EXTREME 802.11AC I SET IT UP AFTER I PUT MY MAC TO SLEEP I COME BACK AND IT SAYS CAN NOT FIND AIRPORT EXTREME I HAVE TO RESTART AND IT FINDS IT.

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme  802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?

    I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme  802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?

    You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

    Do I need to get all new hardware to enjoy the benefits of new Airport Extreme 802.11ac protocol?

    You will need hardware capable of using 802.11ac, which at present is limited to the new MacBook Air models.

  • Upgrading to New Airport Extreme 802.11ac

    Good day All, today I purchased a new Airport Extreme 802.11ac which I will use to replace my 5th generation Airport Extreme.
    I have saved the configuration file from my old Airport Extreme, can I simply import this same configuration file into my new extreme 802.11ac?
    Thanks

    Hey GreyWullf,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you can! Check out the following resource:
    AirPort Utility 6.x: Import settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5081
    If you saved a settings file from a base station or an AirPort Time Capsule, or if you were given one by a network administrator, you can import the settings to the base station or the AirPort Time Capsule.
    1. Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Select the base station you want to set up, then click Edit.
    2. Choose File > Import Configuration File, locate the settings file, then click Open.
    3. Make changes to any of the settings in AirPort Utility.
    4. Click Update to make the new settings active.
    To save a settings file, choose File > Export Configuration File.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Photos in album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Photos in iPhoto album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • The TOC is very confusing. How can I see the page showing the list of chapters and accompanying pages?

    The TOC is very confusing. How can I see the whole list of all the chapters, as it would appear in a book? I only can see a vague image of the chapter title, and only from one chapter at a time; the chapter I am on. In the instruction example it shows also only the "title" of the chapter it pertains to, but it is all in legeable text. The inspector gives options, but it does not explain how to apply it, and I cannot see what my option will look like and to what part of the "text" it is referring.

    The "lower rectangles" are thumbnails of the actual pages in your book... the text was presumably the content of your book. IF you did as I suggested to keep the TOC listing of a full book.. but removed content on all except the three chapters you want to send off to XXXXX -  then the "rectangles are showing blank pages. Which is normal.
    You need to understand that Apple created iBooks Author to create a book which can be obtained from their iBooks store. The application is flexible for customisation to a large extent and the innovative make use of that flexibility. The TOC basically replaces the old Index in printed books to advise readers what content is available.
    On an iPad, or Mac now, Insterad of using  "hyperlinks" from a written index page... which is basic web page navigation - Apple chose  to have a visual TOC.
    Basically you  have to decide - create a three chapter sample which you seem to require - which will show the TOC as it is, or  if you the whole TOC of the finished book is required to show... but  not the content, you end  up with blank "rectangles".  
    Screenshots oniPads... press the  top right start button and the  lower centre,  home buttom together and it  makes a screenshot. Transfer to your computer ( email or Dropbox type cloud) and  add to your post.

  • SERIOUSLY slow USB hard drive on the new Airport Extreme 802.11n

    I have recently bought the new airport etreme 802.11n. Great little device, look wonderful on the office desk. I had some troubles getting it up and running on my machine but finaly got there in the end.
    The USB hard drive is a great little addition that I was very excited about, untill I got it running. It is amazingly slow, for example I tried to copy a folder that contained 15 files which amounted to 135.6mb and it took 20 mins and 24 seconds to upload!
    Is this just the speed that it should be uploading or is there somehting wrong with my settings.
    I'm running on 3 bars of signal and the settings I'm using are:
    connect with password (which is the same as the base stations password)
    Automatically discover disks
    Show in menu bar
    If anyone knows the technical data for the transfer speeds and can confirm my queries I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance

    Does your drive meet these requirements?:
    You can connect USB-based storage devices to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n). Learn which formats and protocols are supported.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) supports USB storage devices that have a block size of 512 bytes, and are formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS-plus), FAT16, or FAT32. Not all USB storage devices use a block size of 512 bytes.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) shares storage devices based on the format used to initialize the storage device. For example, if HFS-plus formatting was used, AFP and SMB/CIFS protocols are used to share the device on the network. If FAT16 or FAT32 was used, SMB/CIFS protocols are used.
    The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) works with disks that have a single partition and are not RAID volumes (no more than one volume per physical disk).
    Note: Use AirPort Disk Utility to discover and mount AirPort Extreme-based volumes over the network.

  • New Airport Extreme (802.11ac) Support for Encrypted USB Disk

    The old Time Capsule and Airport Extreme apparently did not support a filevault2 encrypted USB disk for storing files like an NAS (not talking about a time machine backup).  Does anyone know whether the newly released Airport or Time Capsule now supports the encrypted disk?

    I do not think that USB encrypted disks are supported...and would be surprised if they were....but will know for sure late tomorrow.
    Will update at that time if no one else has answered before that time.
    The fact that Apple still has a USB 2.0 port on the new AirPort products might be a clue as well.

  • Airport Extreme green light but can't see the wifi network

    Hello, coming back from the holidays I can't see my Wifi network anymore (From PS3, Phone, Computers ..etc.). My airport has a greenlight and the internet is working fine if my computer is connected with an Ethernet cable. I re-did the configuration many times and I did a hard reset of both my modem and the airport. It is not setted to a hidden connection. All the settings are basic like before. The only difference is that I did the update to 7.6.4.

    I think you were right, my airport was broken and I noticed that at the end of the configuration process where there's a green checkmark it was written in the bottom that a wifi device wasn't working properly. Nothing could be done to make it work though.
    I bought a new Airport Express now but I still have a major problem. I was able to configure it through wifi with my iMac without any problem and now it is connected to the internet via wifi perfectly but i STILL can't see the network with either my Android phone or my PS3 console !?
    - Brand new airport express
    - configured to "create a wifi network" with a WPA2 password using the simple steps of the airport utility
    - Airport Utility 5.6.1
    I did reset the airport express a few times with the utility and by removing the power cord. I also did reset my iMac and I can still connect to the wifi just fine with it.

  • Change to channel 149 on NEW Airport Extreme 802.11ac on U.K device?

    My new Airport Extreme has a very poor range and see that devices sold within the U.S.A have the ability to increase the power of the device by selecting an higher channel on the 5GHz frequency. I'm not suffering interference and my original non branded modem/router supplied by my ISP is outperforming the Airport Extreme. Apple technical support has not diagnosed any problem with the device and believe it is working normally.
    Is there anyway of changing the frequency?

    What channel is 5ghz working on??
    I doubt a higher channel will help.. the extra power output at the higher frequency does not even make up for the lower range.. ie range is better using 36-40 than higher channels even with the power boost.
    At least that is my experience .. on Gen4 TC.
    AFAIK channel changes are not sticking.. that is a fault in the airport utility.. have you tried from iOS device or using 5.6.1 utility on windows.. which apparently can still access some of the deeper menu items.. although the changes may simply not stick.
    US and UK might also have different regs for power output.. I would think it would set output as high as regulations permit..

  • Any feedback on the new Airport Extreme 802.11n vs the previous version?

    Is the new version that much better and faster? Anyone have it set up with Apple TV?

    The range (and therefore the speed) is definitely better. I used to require a 3 node WDS to get decent throughput throughout my townhouse. Now I use one AirPort Extreme and it covers the whole unit.

  • My ps3 won't connect to new airport extreme 802.11ac

    My MBP will connect, my roommates laptop connects but neither of our PS3's will connect. Anybody got a solution?

    If you still are still being asked for a password and the one you entered is rejected, I would recommend performing a "soft" reset on the AEBSn. This type of reset will temporarily disable all base station passwords for up to five minutes, which should give you plenty of time to access it with the AirPort Utility to change it.
