Help getting my xbox 360 to see my shared external drive

I have an Xbox 360 that is hard wired to my Airport Extreme. I also have an external hard drive hard wired sharing on my network. I am trying to get the Xbox to see the shared drive so that I can view my content.
I searched all over the internet trying to find someone else that has done this, and the only thing that I came up with are these instructions (http://download.iomega.com/resources/hmnhd-wp-media.pdf) on how to get an IOMEGA HOME MEDIA NETWORK HARD DRIVE to connect, therefore I think that it is possible I just can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Side note, my external is formatted to FAT32 and if I plug it in to the Xbox directly I can view content, so I know that the conflict is not there.
Thanks for your help,
-Bryan

I figured it out.  I guess I should have tried a couple more things before posting this.  LOL
I narrowed it down to the 360.  Everything looked fine on the Airport Express, but then the 360 had been working fine on my old router.  So that's why I thought it couldn't be the 360.
I tried running the 360 wired through the Airport, and it still wouldn't connect.  Then I tried connecting it straight to the modem, still wouldn't connect.  So it had to be something on the 360.  I restored the factory default network settings....and bam, connected wirelessly right away.  It's so odd...nothing changed except for the router (when I got the Airport).  So there was no reason to suspect the 360.  Hope this may help if anyone else runs into this issue.

  • I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac.

    I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac. I have installed the suggested driver and the program ControllerMate. The Mac sees the controller because it shows up and responds. The program ControllerMate also sees the controller and responds appropriately, but the game (Minecraft) doesn't. HAs anyone else cracked this nut or have advice?

    Try using the resetting SMC procedure

    You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described.  You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
    Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself. 

  • How do I get the second HD to be a shared network drive??

    PowerPC G5 / dual 2Ghz - used as our file server.
    running OS X Server - v.10.3.9
    Have one internal HD - 160GB partitioned into two drives (General Access & Archive) in the Public folder of this computer
    Appears as Network: Local / G5 Server. When you click the connect button you get a choice of which volume to mount/connect to (ie. General Access; Archive or both)
    Running out of space on the drive so I purchased a second 160GB HD. Installed it, formatted it (with DiskUtility), named it, and copied all files from Archive (partition)
    The thought is to make this new 160GB drive Archive and to remove the partition from the original 160GB HD and have that be just General Access.
    How do I get the second HD to be a shared network drive??
    Also can I remove the partition to the first without having to clone it and reformat?

    Roam & Ali B,
    Thanks!!
    Next dumb question(s).
    We have a laCie FW external HD that I was using as a back-up drive (temporarily)
    I do have some files on it that I have to bring back onto the server to use. I get a admin user&passsword prompt every time I have to copy something back. It usually copies over a locked file that can only be deleted from the Server terminal.
    1. Why isn't this working without the admin prompt? I used DiskUtil to format it before I could use it.
    2. How exactly do I "clone" the current content - its not a simple 'Select All' and drag&drop? Is it going to bring over the partition as well??
    3. Once I have everything on the FW HD, re-boot using it as the System, and re-format the original 160GB HD - will I run into #1.

  • Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

    Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

  • How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

    I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
    Thanks =]

    Here is what I would look into.
    Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
    Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
    Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
    As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

  • How do I get time machine to see my Seagate external drive?  I

    I continue to have trouble getting the machine to ID an external drive for time machine.  I bought a new external, Seagate, installed it and things were fine, until I had to move my computer due to home repairs.  I ejected the Seagate as part of the shut down for the move, and when I reconnected everything OS now no longer sees the Seagate.

  • I can't see my shared external HDD from my Macbook

    I have a Mac Pro on 10.5.8 that has an External HDD connected to it. It mounts and works properly.
    I went to 'System Preferences/Sharing/File Sharing' and shared many internal drives as well as the external HDD. Users for the shares are: My local user name, and also everyone with R&R access granted, and in options I tried with AFP and SMB selected.
    Now from my Macbook Pro on 10.6.6 I can see my MacPro. When I click on it I can see all the local drives shared on my MacPro, but not the external HDD.
    I also tried 'connect to server' with afp://localipaddress/ExternalHDD but I am asked for the user/passw. There I enter the local user/passw for the MacPro where I have the shares and I get "There was an error connecting to the server 192.168.1.8. Check the server name or IP address and then try again"
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you!

    Me too. I have a Mac mini running 10.6.7 with an external USB drive. I have set it up to share the drive, but in System Preferences, the access column is grayed out for all users. In Finder, if I click on the drive, it shows up with the Shared Folder designation. But the drive does not show up when I connect to the Mac mini from my MacBook (also 10.6.7). Other shared folders do show up.

  • Itunes cannot see media on external drive

    Hi
    I ran out of space on my drive so moved my itunes folder onto an external drive. All the files and folders are there, so I know they went across OK. I then trashed and deleted my original itunes folder. When I load up itunes now it does not see all the music on the external drive . It just looks like a brand new fresh instal of itunes waiting for some music. After a quick search I though I may have moved across the libraries. Have tried holding the option key on loading and selecting the choose library option, but when I point to the folder created on the external drive, it just says "An itunes library file could not be found in the folder "itunes media" ( that was the name i gave it) I guess i need to get itunes to point to this folder but i have no idea how. Help please

    No there isnt any files call library in the folder i created I am now in the process of copying them back but I guess I will loose all my playlists and playcounts. I do have a Copy of my drive that i made with carbon copy cloner. So maybe it will be best to boot from there, restore and start again.
    Chris it was just the media folder. I was following the instructions on the apple support page. Got to point 14 didn't get the warning but did seen to have a brand new itunes, so emptied the trash as they said expecting everything to be fine but it wasnt.

  • Mountain Lion cant see my WD external Drive

    I have just got my new MBP 15inch this week. I tried to mount a 1TB WD external Hard disk ... but my MBP (including the Disk Utility) cant see it. The external drive can be mounted perfectly on another MB 13 inch Mac OS Leopard machine.
    I tried to plug/unplug ... use different USB port ... and i failed. After two days I tried again and only once my MBP 15 inch detected the drive !!!! It was very weird ! I copied some stiuff from the drive and unplugged it. When I tried to plug it again, the same problem appeard !!!
    Help !

    Thanks for the no-one-help. But for other poor buyers : Buy a new SS USB cable. It seems that Mountain Lion cant read the WD with the one-year old cable. Anyhow ... both are frustrating (Apple and WD )
    get a new cable !

  • Can't get hold of my relocated masters on an external drive?

    All of a sudden I am not any longer able to get in touch with my relocated masters (on an external drive). I can SEE them, but is not allowed to "consolidate" them or use them for f. inst. EXPORT to 3rd part (Smugmug etc). The drive as such is mechanically ok, well functioning, and in Finder I can see all of the files (masters)...which in Aperture are having a "RED" dot in the small logo in the corner of the photo, indicating that they are held on an external drive...Would be most thankful for any help/advide about how to solve this problem, thanks.

    Thanks a lot Frank for your willingness to help. YES, you are right (just did not the right expression: BADGE for offline referenced original" I have quite a few of such files, in order to economize with the space on my system HD (Macbook Pro), and I'll have to continue that way in the light of my recent investment - a NIKON D800, the files of which, as you will know, are huge.
    The whole problem started when I had to find a new hosting place in the light of Apples closing down of "Me.com". When I closed my account with Apple with a view of leaving Me.com and start moving the majority of my photos to Smugmug, for unknown reasons I ended up with 2 (TWO) databases within Aperture - most recent version. And a big number of my MASTER photos held on an external drive all of a sudden proved to be unreachable, however, I could/can SEE them (with the badge in question) when in Aperture AND also in Finder - but can't CONSOLIDATE them/get them back to the appropriate PROJETS within Aperture.
    Meanwhile I have tried to bring things back to normal by merging the two databases, and or by a "REPAIR" database - all steps so far in vain.
    Thus, I am nowin Aperture left with two databases with a lot of referenced files scattered all over and outside the proper projects to which they belong. AND the MASTERS of the said files, or most of them, remaining on the external drive, where I can't get hold of them....
    Having tried your proposed step - in vain - I realize that it is a stupid situation, and fully understand if you have no more proposals to me....

  • Cannot see music on external drive

    I just upgraded to itunes 7 and I cannot see my music on my external drive. I have had access and all of a sudden it can't see it. The music is there but won't display in iTunes. Any thoughts?

    I don't know enough about iTunes for Windows to help you with this. But if you post your question in the Using iTunes for Windows forum you will get help from people who know more about this.

  • Please help me move my iTunes music from PC to external drive to laptop.

    Okay, please, please help me!
    And please know that I'm VERY computer illiterate and VERY frustrated right now. I've searched through dozens of answers to this questions and don't understand any of them. I don't know what a file is or what a folder is and I don't know how to "find" my iTunes folder. I have about 100 albums on iTunes and want to transfer them over to my laptop. I bought an external hard drive today don't know how to use it and the manual is useless.
    I've looked at countless posts on here and most of them are riddled with terminology I don't understand. When you tell me to "find" my iTUNES folder...I don't know what that means or how to do that.
    Please help me and keep in mind that you'll need to explain everything NOT LIKE I'M A 3 YEAR OLD....3 YEAR OLDS KNOW HOW TO DO THIS CRAP! Talk to me like a very, very computer illiterate adult. The PC(where the music is now)runs Windows XP and the laptop(where I want the music to be) is running Windows Vista
    I will be forever grateful!
    Thank you!
    S-

    Ok. Update. I think I have my iTunes library on my external drive. Now, I need to know how to get it onto my laptop. When I "import" into iTunes, it only lets me bring over one album at a time. Even then, when I unplug the external drive, it says that the file cannot be found and won't play. However, if the external drive is plugged in, it will play the album.
    Thanks!

  • Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

    Hi all,
    I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer  large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
    Many thanks in advance!

    If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
    For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
    Hope this helps.
