Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
Any ideas?

Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

= No SB0220 support available? SO, IS THERE exactly a model numbered as SB0220 AT ALL?
I think there is not.
Yes My Sound Card is exaclty SB0220. I have downloaded the patch and start it. After that I configured the installer and now I have creative drivers. But are they the best for my sound card? After all I`ve pathed the installer and some sort lied it. If the drivers are for my model, why should I path it's
Yes, I've seen a true SB0220 too on a picture after writing that comment so there is true SB0220 model. But, are you sure your card is SB0220? Did you look the number from a sticker on card board w/ serial number lik MSB022xxxxxxxxxxx where the SB022x is the true model number for your card.
Why you didn't got drivers installed for your card is, because the installer doesn't support the model SB0220 (supported cards are listed in ctcomp.dat -> this is the file ctcomp.exe patches).
IIrc, those drivers are the latest ones for your card. If you like to, you can try soft-mod your card the way, you can use Audigy series drivers (which are a bit newer) -> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php (i.e. you just use ctcomp.exe utility to patch the installer for Audigy drivers (use these drivers st - http://www.station-drivers.com/telechargement/creative/%20audigy%205.2.0.042.exe) (newer installer maybe can't be patched w/ ctcomp).

DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway

Memorex USB DVD Burner/RW not playing movies " A valid drive could not be found. [-770012

Why does the USB DVD player/burner not work under Mavericks when it worked on a much older 2Core Duo Mac running Lion? Why is there no support for this item sold in an Office Depot Store? You can not get any more plain vanilla hardware than that.

Drive Mapping not showing up in Explorer Drive Listing

Hi, I am having a strange problem.
I have a unc path that I want to map to and everything works fine.
Apart from one user.
When I try to map the drive under the probmatic account, I cant see anything in my drive list.
I can go to Computer and map the location by using the Map Network Drive button. (This works fine and the mapping appears.)
But the mapping doesn't appear if I use Net Use. (It says the command completed successfully but it doesn't show in my drive listing)
I have added the account to the local administrators group and turned off UAC.
It's really strange.
I need it to be able to map using Net Use because I have a batch file with a command in.
Have you come across anything like this?

Hi,
No multiple connection to the share using the same credentials. It's basically saying that I can't connect to the share as more than one instance of the same user.
But it's showing that no sessions exist. It's like it's not cleaning up the connections properly when you close them.
I have found some other articles.
This post sounds similar to what I am describing. It's from the following thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4b736ba5-268a-4dcb-a3ee-cc2abff0bb01/issue-with-group-policy-drive-mapping?forum=W8ITProPreRel
Run command "net use" in command line with administrator privilege and see if the drive is mapped.
If you can see the mapped drive in the result of net use but cannot see it in Windows Explorer, the issue may be caused by UAC. Are you the domain adminsitrator?
Similar issues occurred since Windows Vista. See:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766208(WS.10).aspx
It said:
UAC may prevent Group Policy logon scripts from appearing to work properly. For example, a domain environment contains a GPO that includes a logon script to map network drives. A nonadministrative user logs on to the domain from a Windows Vista computer.
After Windows Vista loads the desktop, the nonadministrative user starts Windows Explorer. The user sees their mapped drives. Under the same environment, an administrative user logs on to the domain from a Windows Vista computer. After Windows Vista loads
the desktop, the administrative user starts Windows Explorer. The user does not see their mapped drives.
When the administrative user logs on, Windows processes the logon scripts using the elevated token. The script actually works and maps the drive. However, Windows blocks the view of the mapped network drives because the desktop uses the limited token while
the drives were mapped using the elevated token.

Need to do a full restore but my backup drive is not recognized

My backup drive is not recognized by Migration Assistant nor on OS x 10.6.8 start up. Need a full restore via Time Machine.
On startup with new drive, I initially selected to restore from Time Machine backup. It asked to connect the drive which I did but it did not recognize. So I moved on thinking I could restore through Time Machine.
Did some research and decided to try Migration Assistant. Again, the only disc displayed was the hard drive and not the external "My Passport" drive.
I can see the backups on the My Passport drive and even checked (repaired) that disc and still not working.
Any ideas on how to get this to work? Needless to say, I was very pleased with the concept of Time Machine but if the restore doesn't work it doesn't do much good.
Thanks in advance!

I think I found the right path.
- Inserted the OS x 10.6.8 install DVD
- Selected language
- Rather than continue with OS install, selected the "Utilities" menu item and found the restore from backup option
Next step, the search found the external drive. From there I selected the date and now the restore is running.
Thanks for the replies!

My internal hard drive is not recognized by the leopard installer disk

i just got my leopard delivered this morning, and have just put it in, every thing is going well, until it comes to the screen where you select the hard drive you want to install leopard on, and my internal hard drive does not show up, however other drives do (like my external hard drives and usb sticks).
really hope someone can help! thanks

I am having the same problem with my MBP with Leopard. I get a flashing question mark on startup, and have repaired/permissions and my startup disk doesn't show up. I reset PRAM, and then ran permissions again to no avail. If it really is Spotlight just indexing, Apple should tell us that in their technical documents. If anyone has any other solutions, that would be appreciated.

Data Modeler 3.3EA2 Driver Class Not Found

When trying to connect to a SQL Server 2008R2 instance I get teh message "Status : Failure -Test failed: Driver class not found. Verify the Driver location"
I have added the SQL Server JDBC Drivers to my PATH environmental variable, and even tried to put the JDBC driver into a folder without any white spaces in the directory name
C:\Progra~1\Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server\sqljdbc_4.0\enu\sqljdbc4.jar;C:\Progra~1\Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server\sqljdbc_4.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar;C:\Temp\sqljdbc4.jar
I also added the sqljdbc4.jar to the Data Modeler: Third Party JDBC Drivers screen.
Any thoughts on what can be causing this issue?

I was unable to get the JDBC ThirdParty Driver to work, since no matter what I did I could not get the Oracle Data Modeler to map to the JDBC jar file. Here is a work around...
Steps to connect Data Modeler to a SQL Server database.
On Windows 7
1. Go to Adminstrative tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)
2. Select System DSN and setup a connection to your SQL Server database
3. In Data Modeler click File -> Import to bring up the Database connection string
4. Click on the JDBC tab
5. For the OCDBC alias use the connection name you created in step #2
If anyone else is able to get the JDBC ThirdParty driver to work will you please post it here.

My USB Super Drive will not Play Red Box DVDs, Why?

Can anyone explain why my USB super drive will not play RedBox DVDs?

What Mac are you using with the USB SuperDrive?
Is this USB SuperDrive a third party drive or Apple's USB SuperDrive?
If this optical drive is Apple's own external USB SuperDrive, this only works with newer Macs that have no built-in optical drive any longer and WILL NOT work with older Macs that came with built-in optical drives.
Is the Red Box DVD a standard DVD or Blu-Ray DVD disc?

CD/ DVD Drive is not reading any discs! - HP Pavillion DV6747TX

Hi there, I have a problem. My CD/ DVD Drive is not reading any discs! I have no idea what's happened..it was going fine and then all of the sudden it stopped working.
The computer I have is a HP Pavillion DV6700 or DV6747TX to be exact and the CD/DVD-Rom drive is a TSSTcgrp CDDVDW TS%L632N ATA Device. It seems to be present in the Device Manager and in the Computer Menu. When I put a CD or DVD into the disc drive lights are blinking and it sounds like it's trying to load or do something, but nothing is coming up. CD Drive E still says CD Drive E instead of reading the disc that's in there and when I click on Drive E it says Windows cannot read the disc in drive E.
I have tried searching the net for answers including the suggestions on this website and have tried a few other ideas I have come across but nothing seems to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is usually a known software conflict and happens across the board will all computer manufacturers due to a issue with multiple media burning/ripping applications being installed on your system.
You can either run this file, go online to Microsoft's site for a fix, or manually fix it by following the instructions below:

My disk drive does not play any original dvd or cd anymore, but the copies work fine, no matter which format. Do I need a new disk drive?

Hello All,
since last week my disk drive does not play any original DVD or CD anymore, but copied ones, no matter which format work fine. I am a bit confused that the copied ones still work.
Anybody experienced the same? Will I have to get a new disk drive? Unfortunately the warranty expired last month
Looking forward to your answers and thanks,
Yvonne

An external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ may solve your problems.

Satellite P25-S520 - DVD drive is not working properly

Fix DVD Drive or buy external drive
My DVD drive is not working properly, in fact it may never have been working proper. Recently I tried to back up my PC to a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize the DVD was present. I then tried writing a text file to a DVD and was unsuccessful. Both DVD+R and DVD-R media were tried (Maxwell 16X).
I could have probably lived with this however, I got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my neighbors laptop and it was recognized.
An attempt at updating the driver was also unsuccessful.
I was able to rip a music CD last night so that at least is working correctly.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? The important part is being able to load my new program.
Searching some forums I've found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive cannot be fixed I am not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately where I live there are no brick-and-mortar stores which sell external drives and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can anyone suggest an external USB drive which will read and write CDs and DVDs and which is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?
Thank you for any help,

Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.
However you wont be able to boot of CD's (Run Recovery for example) if you use an external drive.
So your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and ask for a quotation.

DVD drive will not read DVD-Roms

I recently tried to reinstall a game that I had played previously, only to find that my drive will not read it. I can hear the disk spinning, but my computer will not recognize that there is a disk in the drive. I tried some of my other games and I noticed that all of the older games, that ran on CD-Rom, had no trouble installing, while the ones that ran on DVD-Rom never showed up in the drive.
This is strange because I have installed all of these DVD-Rom games on my laptop before with no problem. I've tried doing simple fixes, like updating everything and uninstalling then reinstalling the drivers, but nothing helps.

Hi,
If it worked before then try few System Restore points and check. Could have happened due to some update.
Also provide the Product number of your notebook if restore doesnt help.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Hi @Vikingx,
Thank you for your reply.
I would just like to let you know that I am taking over for Futoji and will do my best to assist you!
I see that reinstalling the software did not help.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you tried Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 7)
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates and help resolve issues.
You did mention that DVD drive is not recognized correctly by Device Manager. Would you try this please.
Delete the existing installed driver.
Scan for hardware changes. This should allow Window to install the default driver.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting Device Drivers (Windows 7, Vista) that may also be of aid.
If you are still having an issue you could do a restore back to when it was functioning.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
The last step would be to do a full recovery back to factory.
Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
During the recovery you will have the option to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. Here is a link to Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)
If the issue should remain, I suggest contacting HP support for assistance. They have the ability to remotely access your system to easily locate and resolve issues.
