Having TC Show Up On Desktop As Shared Drive - How?

I'm using OSX 10.4.11. Is it possible to use TC as shared drive so I can transfer over my data? I cannot find a way to mount the TC or have it show up as a drive on my desktop. I've successfully added it to my network. The instructions are useless.

Hi,
I am losing my mind. I tried the "hard way" as there is no alias for Time capsule anywhere on my machine.
But when I entered the info I got "Connection Failed - The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
It then brings up another window which says "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://10.0.1.1" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
Help., What do I do now?
Thanks for any help

  • Plug and Play not showing up on desktop - camera, jump drive, etc.

    Hi all:
    On my Macbook Pro, none of the so-called "plug and play" devices show up on the desktop as they normally would on a Mac computer. I tried my ipod, camera, and usb jump drive. Is there a setting that I could have set on to make it like this??
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Go to Finder>Preferences>General, and you will find some boxes to check so that external devices will show up on the desktop. I'm not sure your camera would show up on the desktop--but it will appear in iPhoto if you want to put your pictures in iPhoto. Your iPod and jump drive will show up for sure.
    Good luck!

  • Itunes library is on a shared drive, how do I add laptops etc correctly?

    Hi folks,
    Short version:
    I have my itunes library on my WD My Book Live NAS. I would like a new laptop and a new PC to see this library and be able to add to it etc.
    Long version:
    I currently have a Desktop and a laptop, and itunes library on a NAS. I've tried and failed many times to get both the desktop and the laptop to look at and update the library correctly. There are still many albums that one pc does see but the other can't.
    I'm sure this was caused by me not setting it up correctly in the first place.
    I'm buying a new Laptop and putting Win 8 on the desktop so now I would like to sort this properly.
    I just want all my music in one place on the NAS and either PC on the network to be able to access it and new songs.
    Can anyone tell me how to do this?
    Cheers

    Is the entire library on the NAS or just the media folder? For background see Make a split library portable. Note that a shared iTunes library can only be opened by one computer at a time. A shared media folder can be accessed by multiple libraries, however this requires management to make sure that updates are reflected across all libraries.

  • Spotlight - Results from Shared Drives

    I'm looking for a solution, how to bring the Spotlight Search Result Page showing me also results from Shared Drives.
    (My Shared Drives are hosted by a OS X Lion Server and an AFP Share)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Bojan

    I'd like to know how to do this too.
    I have several folders shared on Lion server and have got spotlight to index their drives successfully on the server. Once the shares are mounted on the client machines, I can search the server results through the search window in Finder, no problem. But results from those shares never appear in the spotlight window on the menu bar.
    Anyone know how to fix this or change spotlight so it defaults to include shared locations?
    Thanks

  • Remote app on iPad2 not showing iTunes interface on ATV2 shared library

    I have an AppleTV 2 that's sharing an iTunes library via home sharing over Ethernet from a Mac Mini. Running Remote App on my iPhone 5S, I can control that library as expected. Running Remote App on my iPad2, however, I'm unable to see the main iTunes-like interface that lists songs, albums, artists, etc. on the shared library. While I can see the currently playing song at the top of the screen and have access to the Back, Pause, and Forward buttons, the main pane below that only shows the icons for Home Sharing and Using Gestures. Under Home Sharing, where it says "Tap the Apple TV button in the bottom left...," there's not Apple TV button, only "Devices." I can use the gestures interface in Remote App on the iPad2 to control playback, but I never see the main library interface. Any thoughts you have for remedying this would be really appreciated!

    Well the response I got to the above post was outstanding!
    Shall we put this in the bracket along with "If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
    If anyone is wondering, for my party I ended up using my Mac as the server for the iTunes DJ. And I discovered that if more than 5-7 people try to get onto it, it crashes the whole system and the music stops. Glorious.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:

  • USB Drive and iPod do not show up on desktop

    Hello,
    I put the computer to sleep when I'm going to be away for awhile and overnight. When I come back and wake it, my USB drive does not appear on the desktop. I have to restart the iMac to get it to come back.
    Also, when I plug my iPod in, iTunes updates it and then within 10 minutes, the icon does not show on the desktop but I can see the iPod in iTunes.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    I did run the hardware test and everything passed.
    For about 3 hours last night, everything was working fine. This morning the USB drive icon is there but not the iPod. I think I will try the OS reinstall but not for about a week. I will be out of town all next week and can't get to it before I leave.
    Something may have gone wacky while loading some application. A couple of the suspects would be Adobe Lightroom beta 4 or Google Earth. This issue only started within the last 5 days or so and I think those are the only applications I've loaded in that time.
    Thanks for the help in eliminating some of the culprits. I think the OS install should fix. If not, it may be time to have Apple take a look.

  • Network drives do not show up on Desktop or in Sidebar

    I have a user who is experiencing a weird problem. When they connect to a Windows server over our LAN, the server does not show on their desktop, nor does it show in the sidebar.
    I have checked the boxes in Finder/Preferences to show network drives on the desktop and in the sidebar, but the network drives do not show up.
    I have reproduced this on another Mac, a G4 also running 10.5.8 .
    The windows servers do appear in Go/Network, and the user can connect to them, but they still don't show up on the desktop or the sidebar.
    Does anyone have any good ideas about this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Templeton, I'm sorry if my message wasn't clear, but I have already tried that.
    I'm beginning to wonder if there might be some issue with this in 10.5.8, since this works on the Macs here with Snow Leopard, and it used to work when we had Macs on earlier versions of OS X.
    Again, I'm open for any ideas on this.

  • Why does my SC card no longer show up on desktop?

    I have iMac.intel 10.8.5 OS. I use 2 sets (A1-A2 and B1-B2) of dual SD cards for 2 videography cameras. A1 and A2 are identical. B1 and B2 are identical. Initally all SD cards showed up on desktop. They erased in Disk Utility when I'd downloaded the data. Then suddenly w/ no changes to computer or software, only 1 card would show up when I inserted it into the SD slot.
    If I insert 2nd card, nothing showed up on desktop, in finder or in disk utility. BUT, if I did a Restart, with the 2nd card in the slot, when the computer came back on, behold, there it was. I downloaded the contents, erased it in disk utility.
    I need to erase 4 32 Gb SD cards and erase them. I'm currently rebooting 3 times to accomplish this.
    It's a HUGE HUGE time sink to do this every time I want to download from cards. What's going on with the rebook solution? and how can I get back to better functioning? Solutions please. Thank you.

    It's a longshot, but you could try this:

  • Hard drive not showing up on desktop

    My hard drive is not showing up on desktop. Hardisc repair says drive is not formatted yet would not format drive or failed after initial attempt. I did put the same drive into USB external case and then it showed up on desktop. I then was able to format disc and install OS 9.2 onto disc but when I reinserted disc into Lombard (Powerbook G3 M5343) it was back to not appearing and identifying disc as not formatted.
    When I turn on -getting a prompt that says built in memory test says there is something wrong with memory cashe could this have something to do with problem?
    I don't think there is a problem with Motherboard as I just replaced it. I also don't think it is the drive cable as it identifies drive and also I have a "spare-parts" Lombard with a defective motherboard and I tried attaching drive with that drive cable and still had the same problem. Unless both drive ribbons are defective -I assume not...but maybe that could be the problem?
    Any ideas?

    Richard,
    You do have a failure of the backside L2 cache, a common problem on the Lombard. This memory is soldered to the microprocessor card and the only fix is a replacement card.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51159
    I don't know if the failed L2 cache memory would cause a problem with the HD on the internal IDE bus controller; it apparently does not via the USB bus.
    Generally, users who have the failed L2 cache do not have a successful startup unless they reset the power manager. Try this: With the Lombard turned off, reset the power manager and see if it will start up to the internal HD. If no success, shut down, insert your OS 9.2 CD, reset the power manager, and see if the HD appears on the desktop after booting to the CD.

  • External drive not showing up on desktop

    I have an external hard drive (2T Newertech ministack). We had a power outage the other day. Even though the drive is on it no longer appears on the desktop. I went to Disk Utility and see if it could be repaired but the drive is not even showing up there. Does this mean the ministack was fried by the outage or is there another way I can save it? And yes, the finder preferences are on for external drives to show up on desktop.

    It's not likely it would be fried if it's connected to a UPS because then it would not lose power and crash. Have you tried disconnecting the device from the computer, rebooting the computer, then reconnecting the device?
    Since you have another Mac try directly connecting the device to it and using Disk Utility to repair the drive. Then give it a try on the other computer.

  • Hard drive (internal) not showing up on desktop

    One of my internal hard drives is not showing up on the desktop. (Soft freeze after waking from sleep mode. I pushed the reset button on the front of the tower. Haven't seen anything on that hard drive since. I haven't been able to access it since.)
    Hard drive shows up in disk utility but I can't mount it. Looks something like this:
    74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1
    There is nothing below that. (Normally indented below is the name ie. Macintosh HD)
    I cannot verify or repair disk or disk permissions. I cannot mount it. All these options are grayed out. I took it to the Apple store genius bar. They think the disk is fine but "the partition is lost." (I didn't partition the hard drive. Don't really understand what that means.) I've tried Data Rescue (369 hours remaining) nothing is being recovered.
    I've tried Disk Warrior. In the "Hardware" option I can choose the disk and run a test. It says it is fine. ("This hard drive's built-in S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics indicate the drive is functioning normally. Test complete") In the "Directory" option the disk doesn't show up. So I can't rebuild the directory.
    What else can I do?
    G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The Apple System Profiler shows all the correct info except the name is "unknown." The only 2 places that seem wrong are the desktop - no hard drive, and in Disk Utility. I don't know what it's called, but the line directly under the listed hard drive in Disk Utility (74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1) should have the name of the hard drive (Macintosh HD) listed but it does not. It should look like this but with an icon of a hard drive in front of each line:
    74.5 GB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1
    Macintosh HD
    The second line (Macintosh HD) is not there. The other hard drives have their names listed. Apple seems to think this is a problem but other than running Data Rescue and Disk Warrior (neither of which did anything) they have not given me any other suggestions.
    The computer knows the hard drive is there but it won't let me access it. I have done, tried, and checked all the easy stuff. (Cables, any and every type of connection, restarting holding down option + apple + F + O and all the other restart variations with and without the OSX CD, and running "rescue" programs.) Nothing has worked. Short of an exorcism, I'm out of ideas.

  • Why are my files not showing up on desktop?

    I was running several programs on my macbook air: iChat, iCal, Mail, Word for Mac, Safari, and Finder. In Safari, I would right click on any file (word, powerpoint, pdf, etc) to download it to desktop as I normally would. All goes well until I actually go to desktop and see nothing. The file does not show in my desktop. I go into finder, pull up the desktop folder and the file is there. Here's the catch: files downloaded to desktop from other sessions show up in both locations (actual desktop and desktop folder in finder) but the new ones do not. Forcing all my programs to quit doesn't help, only restarting the system does and then the files show up in my actual desktop as opposed to only the desktop folder. I feel like this is rare and only happens when I have iChat open in addition to other programs (although I'll be doing more tests to confirm). I'm running the latest OS (Lion) on a Macbook Air. Anyone else seeing this issue or know what's going on?
