HFS+ formated USB Disk not visible under Windows 7

Hello.
I recently purchased an APE and hooked a 4TB HFS+ drive via USB on it. Unfortunately it's not visible under Windows7. Though if I use a Fat32 formatted drive i'm able to access it. I even have macdrive installed. The drive is working properly if connected to the PC or MAC manually.
Please help

Hello exalderan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
FWIW. I currently have an external USB drive (NewerTech miniStack) connected to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). I can access it from Windows 7 (Ultimate) from either a dedicated Windows PC or from a Parallels VM running Windows 7 without any issues. The 2 TB drive is formatted in HFS+.
What type of errors are you getting?

  • AEBSn + USB disk, not visible in Windows

    Have been using AEBSn as access point for last 6 months. Now added a LaCie MacMini drive via the USB port on AEBSn but am unable to access it via the LAN. I know this is a common problem and have checked the settings described in some of the responses to no avail.
    The disk is formatted as HFS and can be accessed using MacDrive when directly attached to PC. The disk name is currently "Lemon" (so no funny characters).
    AEBSn has latest firmware (7.2.1), the disk is visible under "disks" on the Airport Utility, file sharing is enabled with base station password, guest access is read & write and disks are advertised globally using Bonjour.
    I have tried to access from three different PCs. The latest Bonjour (1.0.4) is loaded and is enabled in firewall (AVG in 2 and Windows in other). From Windows Explorer I can see the AEBS (properties shows it as a CIFS server) but it has no folders. The Airport Disk Agent is running in the system tray but does not detect any disks.
    Please help, my central back strategy is in ruins!

    Hi, I just got my usb disk working!
    I got Airport Extreme (the latest one), all the firmware updates (7.2.1) one pc with WINXP. A 500Gb USB disk from Packard Bell. I want to connect the drive to the Airport and serve files over the wireless.
    my trouble was that while I could see the disk in airport utility, I could not actually connect: wrong password, user etc.
    As the disk is visible in Airport Utility and the Extreme station is visible in the disk management utility in the status bar, I concluded that there must be a problem outside of the Airport Extreme. Indeed, this I found to be in my network settings, which I easily fixed by installing Microsoft Client for Networks. Practically I did this by Start>Network settings right click Properties. then selected the wireless network right click properties once more. Under the General tab I checked for the presence of Microsoft Client for Networks, it wasn't there so on the same screen I click Install.. select Clients and fianlly Microsoft Client for Networks. Bingo.
    I hope this helps, I spent a whole day looking around in this forum and no one has suggested this. So I do and wish you good luck! (now to see if I can get the music onto my Airport Express!!!)

  • Airport disk not visible in windows (XP)

    I have 3 computes 2x imac + one PC under Windows XP
    I use time capsule (7.4.2) for the network + file sharing.
    Almost everything works ok.
    Only issue is that I do not have airport disk access from the PC/Windows.
    On the PC I have Airport Utility 5.4.2, when I open airport disk preference, it seems I see the airport name but when I try to connect to it/identify myself (connect as user) with the proper user id & password (as I have setup on the time capsule) I get the following message: "unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retipe etc".
    Any idea what it could be?
    thx

    Hi nathalie&michael, i'm having the same problem. not only does it fail to connect as a user, also the guest connection returns the same error message. i have also tried manually mapping thee drive and this returns 'path not found' errors.

  • MTP USB Device not recognized under Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hey everybody, I'm sure there are plenty of similar threads about this issue, however I haven't seen any with Windows 7 as OS.
    My problem is in the recognition of the driver, since the MTP device is not working properly. I've tried alot of possible solutions, but none of them have worked, i.e the removal of the driver in device manager, tried a custom script for the inf file, deleting of all USB/portable related drivers.
    Its sad that no recovery tools are yet compatible with Windows 7, atleast not that I'm aware of.
    Please, throw some more suggestions/ideas! My Zen works perfectly fine under XP btw.

    I was having the same problem with my Zen Vision:M under Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    No matter what I tried from deleting the usb root hubs and reinstalling drivers, nothing would get the mtp usb device driver to load.
    I found that the mtp usb device driver will load correctly as long as you are plugging the USB cable into a direct port and not running it through a USB hub. At first I thought it might be due to an incorrect USB voltage, but the hub I'm using is a powered Belkin hub. Very strange!
    So give that a shot -- run the USB straight to a port out the back of your computer. Don't use a USB hub or ports off your monitor since that is actually a hub as well.
    Good luck!http://forums.mycreativefansite.com/...ify_inline.gif

  • External USB drive not visible under 7.3.1

    Upgraded AEBS Firmware to 7.3.1. Connected freshly formatted LaCie 500G (HFS Extended (journaled), Single GUID partition) to AEBS; Airport Utility recognises presence of disk, System Disk Utility does not. Can connect (as guest or user) to AEBS as server and see disk ok, but it does not mount.
    Reloaded 7.1.1; no difference.
    Others seem to have noticed that AirDisk is working better, even TM will recognize it. I am missing a simple setting somewhere....
    any thoughts? Thanks

    Check the AEBS logs. Sometimes, if the hard disk has errors, the AEBS won't mount it, and it is reported in the logs.
    In this case, plug the broken hard drive into the Mac and run Disk Utility to repair it.

  • MSI UBO-30 External Slim Bluray Drive not recognized under Windows 8.1

    Hi, does anyone here have MSI UBO-30? It is an external bluray drive from MSI. For some reason the drive is not recognized under windows 8.1 64 bit (it just says USB device not recognized). But works fine if plugged into Windows 7 machine. Anyone encounter the same issue? 

    Try upgrading your usb 3.0 drivers on your system. That worked with My GS70 Stealth Pro...

  • Phone not visible in Windows Explorer - post 10.3 upgrade

    I installed 10.3 on my Q10 no problem, saw the Blend icon and decided to install (having used it on the work Passports) so a couple of things....
    1. Blend now downloaded - but wants to install on an F:drive - which would be the Q10.
    2. When connected via USB (or wifi) the Q10 is not visible in Windows Explorer (it was fine in 10.2)
    3. Can see the drivers begin to install, but then it rolls back and a 'Install failed, cannot find F:drive' appears.
    4. Is Blend intended for use on the Q10.
    Anyone got any ideas I can try?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Found it, you have to go into Settings > Networks and Connections > Connection Services > USB and slide the USB Mass Storage Mode to the on position. It will then show as an ext. hdd in Windows Explorer.

  • "USB Hardware Not Recognized by Windows"

    Please help. I keep getting an error mssage "USB Hardware not Recognized by Windows" I believe i have tried it all. Uninstalled Itunes. Reinstalled Itunes.
    Okay I just tried pluggin it in as I typed this and it worked. The only thing I did diffrent was I unplugged my External Back-up drive.
    Is this Common? Can anyone help explain this to me?

    I have a combo floppy drive/USB 2.0 card reader and I believe I have the same problem.
    I'm not over-clocking and while USB shows up in WinXP in device manager the card reader is not recognized by the system even though I KNOW I have it connected correctly.  The floppy works fine.
    I believe the 4 USB ports on the mobo are non-functional but can't test it until Thursday sometime.
    Hopefully this is correctable with a BIOs update.
    Anyone else have issues with the USB ports on the mobo and if so, were you able to fix it?  How?

  • Wifi not working under windows 8.1 with Bootcamp

    Hi, I have installed windows 8.1 under bootcamp. it seems to work fine however the wifi connaction is not existing under windows. therefore i can only connect via ethernet. Anyone an idea how to solve it? Thx

    Hey there,
    I don't know if it's still interesting for you, but I've had the exact same issues. The only solution, as far as there is no official change from Apple, you can install Windows 8.0 via Bootcamp with official drivers for Bootcamp (wifi works great) and then install the upgrade to 8.1 as Windows still uses the former installed drivers from Win 8 on 8.1 as well.
    Hope that helped, 8.1 runs even better on my MB Air than Mac OS 10.9 :/

  • Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit

     Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit
    Anyone had successs in this or another Bluetooth Keyboard after a bit of a struggle?  What did you do to get it working?  When I Add Device in Bluetooth it sees the keyboard but enlessly scans for it when I try to select and connect.  The Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse worked just fine.

    My friend, i have both, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard here that your talking about. and the keyboard was a struggle to pair with the windows 7 64 bit.... i think i spent 2 days working with it. and i didnt try anything special, i just kept trying to pair
    it, and unplugging the dongle and working with it... and after a while. it worked... Lately though, i have been looking into getting a wired mouse and keyboard becuase of the delays and sleep time i have with my current keyboard(rocketfish). supposidly there
    is a way around the delays but it disables all the options on your keyboard. IE the media buttons, and web browsing features. and my mouse keeps dieing off too....
    Also, after researching these products more, i found that alot of people experienced similar problems with them, Being delays and mouse failure. Even with fresh batteries and all. The products werent meant to be used long term(2-3 years) for extensive use...
    I dont know about you but i thinki paid 100 bucks for the pair so thats only 25 bucks a year... Which is kinda silly considering i coulda got a better one that wont cough up on me.
    If anyone reading this finds a good wireless keyboard that doesnt delay, and a mouth that doesnt delay...(my biggest concern). Please mention it. i am very interested in.
