Folders added to USB disk connected to EA6700 not seen by Panasonic TV

Hello,
I have a Seagate 1.5TB USB ST315005EXA101-RK connected to EA6700.
The USB disk contains two folders with pictures, and they are fully visible in the Panasonic TV.
Today I added some other folders to the USB disk, but they are not seen in the Panasonic TV.
Shall I remove .tmp & cache folders in the USB disk in order to let EA6700 show all folders in the TV ?

Sorry for not replying to this forum earlier. I have been busy with other tasks.
I disconnected the USB disk from EA6700, and connected it to my PC.
Then I removed .tmp and cache folders, and connected the disk back to EA6700.
Now I see all pictures on TV,
The lesson from this problem is to reconnect the disk to PC and remove .tmp & cache folders.

Cannot connect to USB disk connected to Airport

I have a USB disk connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme. The disk has a volume label already set and had been previously directly connected to my IMac
I've gone into the Airport utility and updated the 'Disks' information to include "Enable file sharing" and "Secure Shared Disks" "With Accounts". I have the users listed under acounts and have set the passwords, same as login passwords.
But, I can't successfully login to the disk. I've tried the base station password, the network access pasword, the user password: none work.
What am I missing here?

Does the disk appear as a volume when you check using the Disk tab in AirPort Utillity? In the example below, a WD Drive is connected to the USB port of an AirPort Extreme.
If the drive does not appear here first, you will not be able to access it. Check to make sure that the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). FAT32 will also work as well.
Some other formats like NTFS or exFAT might be able to be read when the drive is connected directly to a Mac.....but these formats are not supported with the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
If the drive is formatted correctly, try using a powered USB hub. Connect the powered hub to the USB port on the Extreme, then connect the drive to the powered hub.

I have a set of 3 USB disk connected to my TC via a USB hud. I usually swithc the TC at night. When I restart the next day it stucks in amber state. when I disconnect the USB hub where my discs connects and restart, it start properly. Any hints?

I have a set of 3 USB disks connected to my Time capsule (TC) via a USB hub. I usually switch the TC at night. When I restart the next day it stucks in amber state. When I disconnect the USB hub where my discs connects and restart, the TC will start properly. Any hints?

LOL.. don't switch off the TC.. this is fairly typical behaviour..
Or try a different usb hub.. but you could well and truly run out of hubs before you fix the problem.
Are you running latest firmware for your TC?
What error message is coming up in the airport utility.. amber led is a fault indicator.. look up what the actual fault is and see if it is for instance overloading the usb. You are using a powered hub??
Get one bigger USB hard disk instead of 3 smaller ones.

USB disk connected to TC shows on one Mac, but not the other

Hi guys!
The Time Capsule works just great! I'm running it bridged in my existing network, with WiFi turned off.
And the USB disk shows fine on my Mac, but not on my colleagues' Mac. TC shows on both. What am I missing here?
The USB disk will serve as "file server" and will be backed up onto TC together with the macs.
Update: Whoa - now it suddenly shows up on both machines. Go figure.

Navigate to your Applications folder.
Right Click on iTunes and select Show Package Contents.
Navigate to Contents/MacOS/
Double-click on iTunes Helper(to get it running). This allows iTunes to start when you plug in your iPhone.
Open System Preferences and go to Users & Groups.
Select the Login Items tab to view the list.
Drag iTunes Helper from the Finder into the Login Items to get it to run at login.
Delete it from Login Items on the Mac you don't want it to start iTunes on.

Unable to view *certain* folders on a USB disk shared by Airport Extreme

I have a 1 TB FAT32 formatted USB drive shared over an Airport Extreme (firmware 7.4.2).
A few days ago I was reorganising media files on the hard drive. I created a subfolder in a folder called 'Movies' and copied a couple of VOB files into the subfolder. Suddenly, the entire contents of the 'Movies' folder vanished. I unmounted and re-mounted the shared disk on the Mac (browsing to the base station in finder and clicking eject). I am able to see all other top level folders and other files on the shared drive, but the 'Movies' folder is empty. The Airport logs indicated a problem with the volume, so I disconnected the drive from the airport, plugged it into the mac and ran disk utility to verify the disk. No errors were reported.
Here is where it gets interesting.
1) When I plug the USB drive into my Macbook Pro, I am able to mount the drive and browse all the directories, including the Movies folder - all my files are still there.
2) If I plug the disk back into the airport and mount it on the mac, the 'Movies' folder appears empty.
3) The hard disk usage reported (both in the airport utility and in finder) is consistent with the 'Movies' folder still being there, however the Movies folder shows up at Zero bytes in 'Get Info'
4) If I open a terminal window and cd to the mounted hard disk, 'ls -al' reports no files. However, I can 'cd' to a sub-directory of the Movies folder that I know exists, and 'ls' shows all the files in the sub folder!
I can even copy files in the 'Movies' folder to another location if I know then name - but 'ls' cannot see it, and neither can 'du'
5) I attached the drive to a Windows machine and ran chkdsk and even did a surface scan - no problems reported.
I'm stumped. Has anyone seen this wierd behaviour before? The disk is fine when mounted directly on a mac or windows machine - but when mounted and shared via the airport, the Movies folder is not visible, though it is definitely there!
Help appreciated!

Hello nikkjazz. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) supports USB storage devices that use a block size of 512 bytes ... and is true whether the device is formatted for HFS+, FAT16 or FAT32. If yours is not, then it may explain why you can see the folders when the drive is directly attached to the Mac, but not so when connected to the AEBSn.

Airport Extreme and USB Disk Connection

I have attached a Western Digital external drive, that I can successfully see the files on it when connected by USB to my iMAC, but when connected to my Airport Extreme I am unable to see it. I can however, see it successfully within the "airport utility" as a storage device connected to the base station. Why can I not see it and where should I be able to view it from?
Thanks in advance Neil

1. I do not see the AEBS in "finder" as I do idisk etc.
2. I do not see the AEBS in "disk utility" either
You will not see the disk in either Finder or Disk Utility until it is mounted.
I've had the same issue. Always have resolved them by shutting down the disk and disconnecting the USB, also cycle power on your USB hub if your using one. Reconnect the disk and power-up.
I can connect to the server (though not sure what account I should do this as) but there are no volumes to select.
Disk Utility> Disks> File Sharing> Secure Shared Disks, if it's set to "With base station password. you would use the Name and Password of your AEBS
Sounds like your connecting properly, it's just not recognizing the Disk.
One other thing, do you know how your disk is formatted?

Setting up USB disks connected to Airport Extreme

I took two different USB drives, formatted one drive with two partitions of Mac OS Extended (journaled) and the other drive formatted NTFS. After attaching the drives to the AE, I established how I wanted to share the devices and set up accounts to access the devices. My intention was to use these drives to backup my devices but have since learned that Time Machine does not support this (stupid and disappointing).
When I log in from my Mac, I see the one drive with two partitions, but I also see a drive with my account name. Performing a "Get Info" on the drives now show their format as AppleShare. What feature did I invoke that automatically established a "third" drive? Where is it established on the physically formatted Mac drive? Does the format of Appleshare just indicate how the partition is accessed?
The other account, established for a Windows machine, does not see the NTFS drive, but when logging in to the AE also has a drive mapped with the name of the account. I also cannot consistently connect to this drive as the airport utility does not display the drive in the system tray. The airport utility doesn't see the AE, yet this Windows device can print just fine to the printers attached to the AE.
I'm dazed and confused. Can anyone explain what is going on? Thanks.

The USB port on the AirPort Extreme will support drive formats of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and FAT32. NTFS is not supported, so that might explain some of your difficulties.
What feature did I invoke that automatically established a "third" drive? Where is it established on the physically formatted Mac drive? Does the format of Appleshare just indicate how the partition is accessed?
Not sure about this. When I format a drive as Mac OS or FAT 32, I see a single drive when accessed from the Finder.

How do I restrict access to USB Disk connected to Airport Extreme

I have attached a USB HDD to my Airport Extreme Base Station. The drive is divided into 4 partitions, which I did with the HDD connected directly to a MBP before plugging into the AEBS. All the Macs on the network seem to be able to read and write into all 4 partitions. Is there anyway to restrict which Macs can access with partition? Or, if I went to a single partition, is there a way to restrict access on a folder by folder basis?
I've tried searching, but the best answer I've found so far is that the AEBS will only support a single partition/volume.... which doesn't appear to be true anymore.
Thanks in advance

You can put a filter on your wifi or use something like the K9 browser.

Permissions on USB disk connected to Time Capsule

Hi,
I'm trying to attach a 1TB USB hard drive to my Time Capsule, which I've managed to successfully do. However, whenever I write something to the USB drive, it's UNIX permissions get set to 777, and the owner and group get set to my user and group id. Even if I use something like "sudo rsync -aH" to copy the files, all of the existing permissions and ownerships get stripped and set to me. There are lots of "chown" error messages issued by rsyn. For instance:
rsync: chown "/Volumes/Snapshot-Softwolf/vanilla/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" failed: Operation not permitted (1)
If I manually attempt to chown files on the USB drive, I get similar error messages. If I manually attempt to chmod files, I get silent failures. SImilarly, using Finder results in silent failures.
Is there any way to set up the USB drive to allow permission and ownership changes? A 3rd party solution would be acceptable provided it isn't too expensive.

temporarily connect the drive to your Mac, rename the drive, then plug it back into the TC.

Backing up a USB disk connected to my Airport Extreme

hello,
I can't seem to get Backup or Time Machine to see files on the disk (wireless...) connected to my Airport Extreme - Is this possible? I've seen posts about backing up other "locally" connected drives, but I'm not sure how to go about backing up a drive that's out there wirelessly. If Backup or Time Machine won't do it, does anyone have any recommendations for other software?
tia

thanks for the response - I'm not seeing where SuperDuper can do it either - it's not seeing "shared" stuff - like the disk hanging of the airport extreme. Am I missing an option with that? Seems like there should be some software that can do it.

Files on external disk connected to TC not available when File-sharing activated?!

Dear all,
I use a TC 1st generation. I have attached a WD Book external drive to the TC which works as a separate "server" for the family documents and photo's. This set-up worked perfectly until I this week formatted the WD and re-installed it. Now the files on the WD are not available through the TC.
Done:
I have connected the WD Book directly to my Windows 7 machine: WD Book visible including a station ID (:E) and name. Files all available. Check.
I have connected the WD Book directly to my MacBook: WD Book visible including a station ID (:E) and name. Files all available. Check.
In the Airport configuration program the WD Book is visible as an extrenal disk, but there appears no name or station ID (:E). Instead it shows the specs of the WD Book. (298 GB WD 3200 JB external....) This is the main problem in my opinion? Something in the TC causes the WD Book not to be available.
Furthermore I have clicked the box for file sharing, with password, plus sharing via WAN in the Airport Configuration Program.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks,
Paul

You asked the question and then answered it.
.. ughhhh!!! >> Why is that?
This is why..
the whole situation occurred when I had formatted my drive from FAT32 to NTFS since the FAT32 would not allow for large documents such as the export of my Outlook files as .pst. (14GB)
FAT32 is old without large file capability and without indexing. It is simply too old for modern usage.
Furthermore the only reason for me to move the disk was for testing purposes.
OK.. but attached to the TC.. the disk can save 14GB files no problems in HFS+ format from a PC. There is no need to do anything else.
If you want a large disk for backing up windows buy a new drive. And format it NTFS and plug it into the windows PC and leave it there.

Connection Issue - Device Not Seen

Hi
I've just bought a Nano Special Edition Red and am having connection problems.
I already have a 60Gb Photo on the system which connects & updates without issue.
When I connect the Nano SE it is initially seen in the Device List and it displays the normal updating info. The system says Updating Do Not Disconnect in the top window (as you would expect) yet within 6-8 tracks the update stops & the message 'The iPod Wolfhound's iPod cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found' is diplayed.
I have only one option which is to click Ok. This stops all activity & removes the Nano SE from the Device List. The iPod screen then displays the normal menu options.
Software version is 1.1.1.
Does anyone have any ideas as to the problem here please?
Thank you.
Regards

Hi
Guess what? Its doin it again!It started the update (I know this because most of the music tracks on the ipod are now missing) but I then get the same msg as previously!!!
I've been back & looked at what was said before to try to resolve the issue, there's no files visable & none hidden.....anyone any ideas please?
Thank you.

Access USB Disk from Win XP connected to Router

Hello,
My Airport express is plugged into cable modem router and so is a desktop running Win XP.
Another 2 machines Macbook and Winxp laptop can access AE router, internet and the USB disk connected to AE.
I am having trouble accessing the USB disk from desktop which does not have wifi and is hooked directly to cable modem router. I tried assigning a static IP to Airport Express and that didnt help either.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions!
You posted in the AirPort Extreme forum, but your post indicates that you have an AirPort Express.
If you have an AirPort Express, this device does not support hard drives at the USB port. Only compatible printers are supported.

Can you set permissions to be different on 2 USB disks/folders

I have two usb disks connected to my Airport Extreme and would like to restrict access to each disk separately if that is possible and if it is I would also like to restrict access down to folder level on each disk.
Does anyone know if this can be done (and if so how?)

If I change the access to accounts will I lose the data already stored?

Can I watch iTunes-purchased movies from an Airport Extreme USB disk?

With the newest Airport firmware (7.6.1), it seems I should be able to do this.
My scenario is so basic, I can't understand why I'm having trouble achieving this.
- I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.2 - since it's a laptop, I don't want to leave it on all the time.
- I have an AirPort Extreme with a USB disk on it (that I use for backing up my MacBook), recently upgraded to newest firmware 7.6.1.
- I have a recently purchased Apple TV hard-wired to the AirPort running firmware 4.4.4.
- I have purchased movies though iTunes on the MacBook Pro.
I want to watch my iTunes-purchased movies on my Apple TV even when my MacBook Pro is sleeping. That is, I would like the movies to be accessible via iCloud, or stored on the USB disk connected to AirPort Extreme, or something/anything.
It seems obvious to me that with an all-Apple set up, and iCloud, this should be easy to achieve.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
j

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.
