"Home Media Network Hard Drive - Cloud Edition": what is it?

I have a "Home Media Network Hard Drive - Cloud Edition".
I want to update the firmware (actually, I already did, but may have made a mistake).
When I go to the support page https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/subproduct/p/1031 I find that there are two choices that have names similar to my unit's, but not identical.
Is one of these actually the same as my model? If so, which? If not, how do I get support for my model? Why isn't this clear?
PS: These names are awkward, long, and confusing. So long that I could not put all of them in the Subject. Too late to change them now.
Solved!

Hello HughR
See the below hotlinks for a picture confirmation of each device.
If the Home Media (Network Hard Drive) Cloud Edition (HMNHDII) is your device, then you would want to follow the firmware update guide from here.
If you have the Home Media Network Hard drive (HMNHD) then you should follow the firmware update guide from here.
From your post it seems you have the Home Media CE, the second generation of home media NAS. The " Home Media Cloud Edition " link would be the correct link to access the support page for the device.
The names are long, hence the abbreviation from "Home Media Network Hard Drive - Cloud Edition" to just "Home Media Cloud Edition"
Hope this all helps!

Hi just installed the above and transferd all my music but now cannot play them on my iPad it can see the hard drive in iTunes but will not play any advice cheers Darren

Hello jarmin2411
A factory reset from the web interface would correct this sort of issue. However I suspect that using the pin-hole reset button should also be able to clear the issue as it seems to be a network configuration issue. The network settings may have become corrupt during the update. Using the device reset button

I have upgraded to Lion Os but my Network storage (Iomega Home Media Network hard drive) does not work with Time Machine. Are there any solution available?

I have upgraded to Lion OS only to find that my NAS (Iomega Home Media Network hard drive) does not work. It tells me that it is not configured. Are there any solutions . Have Iomega sorted out the problem?

Same issue here. Based on what I can tell, iomega still has not developed a solution to the problem. See below:

Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive contents not appearing in iTunes

I'm running iTunes 10.5.1 on my MacBook which is running OS X 10.6.8
I've got an iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive ( http://tinyurl.com/l8jmaa ) NAS hooked up to my home intranet, and I use it as the master repository for all my music for iTunes, as I've got multiple computers in the house, and the device (with iTunes and DLNA activated) will show up in the "Shared" section of my iTunes source list, and I can view and play all my music from there.
Sometime over the course of the last few iTunes updates, however, this functionality broke, and I'm not sure why. The device shows up in the "Shared" section still, but when I click on it, iTunes shows a message on its screen that says "Loading "Iomega-0557fc" (yeah yeah, I didn't give my drive a spiffy name, I just stuck with the stock out-of-the-box name) and gives me the horixzontal cady-cane, and the little circle spinner spins away to the right of the device in the source list, but iTunes never actually completes the task of bringing up an index of the drive.
The drive itself is fully functional. All the settings are proper on it, I can move data on and off from the Finder, I can even drag-and-drop music files from the NAS in the Finder into iTunes and the files will add to playlists and play just fine (I've got "Copy files to iTunes Media Folder..." turned off, so I know they're playing from the NAS) so it's not like there's some kind of malfuction on the NAS itself. I've also made sure I've got the latest firmware updates and such.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with one of these drives, and I'm hoping someone else has encountered this issue and figured it out! Any help is appreciated!

Hi , I have similar problem..It was working initially and for some reason it stopped. I device shows up on the SHARED , however when I click it doesnt load the songs..however I am able to stream songs from Iomega NAS via other DLNA clients (ace player etc in ipad)...

Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive network access problem

Hello all Having trouble accessing Iomega media drive ce,web interface is not responding.Iam able to ping ,map and access shares using win7 and winxp systems.Read and writie to shares.Earlier in 2012-13 experienced similar problem,but reimaging using reimager software, fixed the problem.Reimaging didnt destroy data it just reset the user accounts.(atleast in my case).Few days back the problem reoccured.I noticed from my experience, the web interface becomes unresponsive only after enabling cloud with medium or high security.I tried resetting. Also tried to connect drive to pc directly and ran ARP utility.Drive respond to ping(arp provided ip address).,but web interface is still unresponsive.Also cloud invitation email not working.But device status monitor or reporitng email works. I periodically receive email alerts about new firmware,time synching.Please help me restore my drive. Drive details:Home media network CE(shipped firmware 3.2.3.15290 ).Current firmware:3.2.8.30031.Storage manager ver. 1.4.4.14439Router infoSL-2750u (tried using port forwarding/DHCP and port forwarding/Static ip).TZO remote access status:Expired.FTPisabledCloud :enabledWarranty status:Active.(13/12/2015). Thank u

Hello dhanse_k,
For something like this, there really isn't much that I can help with here.
I'm limited to giving advice and that isn't going to help if you have a verified IP that's not granting access to the UI.
I recommend starting a support ticket here:
https://lenovo-ap-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18133/session/L3RpbWUvMTM2NjU5MDgxMS9zaWQvSEtSbjZqb2w%3D#phone
It sounds like your NAS is having issues with Apache and starting a support ticket will enable an agent to assist you with that.

IOMEGA home media network hard drive security issue - admin password bypass

Some time ago I analysed the http traffic between the above and firefox so that I could automate the restart process because I wanted to restart the drive about once a week overnight. This I achieved by writing a simple python program and it seemed to work ok but I stopped doing it after a short while. Many months later I have returned to this and found that the conversation has changed. The redirection that used to occur has gone and I can now restart my drive without the need for a valid administrator password and I have done this both from a computer on my lan and also via an external no-ip free dns domain name. Note that any attempt to access the drive via a browser still requires a valid password. My original drive was at firmware level 2.063 and this one (a replacement under warranty) is at 2.064.
Has anyone come across this problem and has anyone any idea how to fix it?
Happy to post my python code if required.

Thank you for the reply. I followed your advice. I guess the upgrade worked ok because the device now says its at the right level, it removed the admin password (which I then re-instated) and a robots.txt file has appeared in the FTP folder. However, a couple of things didn't work as advertised:
1. When I tried to turn on remote access it just hung and I had to reboot the device. It subsequently resolved itself after a couple of reboots and when I wasn't looking.
2. When I tried to access the folders through a browser I was presented with a greyed-out 'public' user, for which I did not have a password, and this only resolved itself when I added a new user, which led to another problem ...
3. I cleared the passwords on a couple of users because I wanted to change them. No way could I get a prompt for a new password - followed the instructions in the manual - so I ended up deleting them and recreating them from scratch.
Now then, has this fixed my original problem? Not really. The situation is that when remote access is enabled then my program in its current form doesn't work (but I would need to see if I could make it work). If remote access is disabled and I get my router to port-forward, say 8000, as 80 to the iomega then my program still works fine and I can do a restart or shutdown without the admin password.
Obviously now that I have this program worked out I can go on to do other admin tasks remotely.
I'd appreciate any further ideas you might have.

Can't access Iomega Home Media Network HD from my MacBook Air

Hello,
I recently bought a MacBook Air that is currently running OS X 10.8.4. This is my first MacBook.
I have an Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive, but I can't connect to it. I downloaded their most recent software for Mac (the LSM client for Mac OS 10.6-10.8, version 1.4.3.9580), but keep getting a message saying "The version of the server you are trying to connect is not supported" when I try to access my files from my Mac.
I tried to find the answers from Lenovo, who bought the Iomega, but their support seems very poor and I wasn't able to reach anyone about it since my warranty has expired.
I was wondering if some one could please guide me to find a solution to this problem.
Thank you so much in advance!
Thais

Preferably, get rid of that junky device. If you don't want to do that, see below.

WRT54G2 and Iomega Home Media Network HDD

So I am on my second HDD with Iomega. I am thinking now that this is a router problem rather than a HDD problem. I have a 1TB Iomega home media network drive, eversince I bought my router and began using it I have been unable to use my HDD. It is hard wired to the router via RJ-45 cable and both units have been reset and powered up in about every order you can imagine. I have reset factory defaults on the router and made security changes to ensure there was nothing blocking that port. I am at wits end. I cannot connect to the HDD and the drive flashes yellow and blue indicating it cannot estabilsh or receive an IP address from the router. Can anone help me with this. The drive has already been replaced once after the same symptoms occurred previously. Any help is appreciated.

Per the Iomega support site:
How do I find the Home Media Network Hard Drive on my network?
Install the Iomega Home Storage Manager software. Once the installation completes, the Iomega Home Storage Manager icon will appear in the system tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac) and your computer will automatically be connected to the Home Media drive's shared folders.
NOTE: If no DHCP server is found on your network the Home Media Drive will get the self-assigned IP address 169.254.55.82.
NOTE: The Iomega Home Storage Manager will automatically scan your network and connect to available shared folders. If you receive a message from your operating system's firewall alerting you of network activity, click the unblock button.
Mac Users: The Iomega Home Media drive's shared folders should mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.
PC Users: The Iomega Home Media drive's shared folders will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.
Also see the User Manual for the drive or the Iomega online support site.
The network drive has a menu system to allow the user to configure the network settings for the drive. Log into the drive per the User Manual directions and check the Network settings to ensure the Automatic (DHCP) is enabled. When this option is enabled it should pull an IP address from the router.
One other option is to configure the IP setting to Manual in the Network page on the network drive and input an IP address (Static IP Address) outside of the IP addresses the router will hand out via its DHCP server. You would also have to fill out any additional settings for the Manual option. So for example if the router is configured for IP address of 192,16.1.1, and a starting DHCP IP address of xxx.xxx.xxx.100 and a Maximum Number of DHCP Users of 50 than set the network drive's IP address to 192.168.1.200, or any ending IP number between 151 and 254, or between 2 and 99. That way it won't conflict with the router's DHCP address assignments and it will always have the same IP address.

Iomega Home media network drive & Time machine backups

First timer guys, so go easy. :-)
I have macbook pro. Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion couple of days ago. I have Iomega Home media network drive NAS box which I had setup for Leopard and my backups via time machine were working perfectly. I could also mount the shares on the Iomega box on my macbook. Post upgrade to Lion, I can access the shares on my MAC (over smb) but backups not working anymore. Apparently Lion requires shares to be accessible over afp only. I have confirmed Iomega box is compatible with smb as well as afp shares and I even tried manually mounting those shares using command, still no luck.
Command I'm trying to mount afp shares & the error -
bash-3.2# mkdir -p /mnt/backups
bash-3.2# mount_afp afp://username:[email protected]/backups /mnt/backups
mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -5019, errno is -5019
bash-3.2# echo $?
101
bash-3.2#
Can't see any references to this error. I see few links that ask to carry out some clumsy steps to sort this out. That's not working either for me.
On a sidenote, why mac doesn't have /etc/fstab? Any alternatives?
Appreciate any kind of help here.
Cheers.

Hi,
Have you fixed your problem?
I have the same configuration, and I can't finish a backup. Every time, I have the message, "Try again a new backup".
Thanks

Suggestions consolidating iTunes accounts, home media network

Hello, I am not exactly sure where to post this, but much may revolve around iTunes store, etc, so I thought I would try here first. Really looking for advice, sorry for the long entry.
I am in the process of trying to reorganize, simplify and set up a nice home media/storage network for my wife and I (and kids as they get older) the opportunity to basically use and sync any of our devices/computers so that we all have access to a main music library, movies, etc. Here are my main questions, and the scenario ...
I have my own iMac
Wife has Mac Air
Have Apple TV2
Will each be getting our own iPod Touch
Airport Extreme currently used for home wifi network
External drive connected to Airport Extreme to store all/everyone's media?
My initial thought is this could function well as a media storage hub that all our networked devices could pull from? Or maybe there is a better option, setup that I'm not thinking of?
Consolidating two individual iTunes Libraries/accounts to one main one?
What is the best/cleanest approach? My wife and I each have our own, but are find merging if it is recommended. Is it recommended that my wife or I change one of our accounts/ids so we both now purchase off the same apple id? Then just combine our two separate libraries onto an external drive hooked to our Airport Extreme, and use that as a main media collection? Can that external drive then be accessed by the Apple TV as well as our personal computers? Or what if the kids down the road want their own account, if you don't use a single apple id to purchase content, is it difficult to have a central media driver with everyone's content?
For eventual syncing into iCloud?
Is it recommended that we put all devices (whether hers, mine, or kids) to the same Apple ID so all devices have access to all the same material? I'll admit I don't know much about iCloud yet, so this might be a basic question. Or maybe there are still ways to sync all devices even if through different ID accounts so the family doesn't feel I'm 'in complete control' ? Is media stored on an external drive for the network able to sync or be used in the same way by the iCloud service?
I'll probably have more questions, I hope these made sense, and again, sorry for the wordiness. Maybe its a simple setup, but if anyone has the interest or time to lend some advice on what has worked well for them, I'm all ears. Thank you!

What is the Model no of the NAS..?
Might be you need to do some settings on NAS..Try resetting the NAS and try to reconfigure again.

Is the "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" on the new mac worth the extra cost? I am comparing with a refurb with better specs (faster CPU, larger hard drive) and from what I undersand the PCIe flash storage is the big differentiator in cost.

hello - i am considering two macbook pros
NEW - http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=ME294LL/A&step=config#
REFURB - http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0ML1LL/A/refurbished-macbook-pro-27ghz-quad-c ore-intel-i7-with-retina-display
The refurb actually has a faster processor and a larger hard drive. From what I understand, the big difference in cost is the new macbook pro contains "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" versus the refurb "768GB Flash Storage".
Is the PCIe flash storage really worth the extra cost (and smaller size)?
PS - Also I believe the brand new one has 2 GB graphics memory as opposed to 1 GB graphics memory. I don't really care about that as much as I won't be doing a lot of video editing or gaming.

Is she wrong - are these actually going to people's homes, being used, then returned and resold?
Some are some are not. Otherwise Apple has a ton of Mac's sitting around that have been returned by customers under their 14 day No Questions Asked return policy.
But they not just Returned and Resold. They go back to Apple, checked out (Tested) any parts that are not up to spec replaced and then repackaged in a plain white box to be sold as refurbs.

1 x iMac and 1 x Macbook Pro with iPhoto 11 on each and an external network hard drive

Sorry in advance if this has been asked already - I scrolled down to see but could'nt find it......
Anyways, here is my situation: I have approx 7 yrs worth of digital photos stored on my external network hard drive. I've recently turfed my Dell and replaced it with an iMac as my family's main computer. Now I have 2 Apple computers at home - the iMac and a Macbook Pro that I am its only user. Both have iPhoto 11. I've been playing around with the pgm and have been importing photos from my external network hard drive (not many but enough to get the idea of iPhoto) on both computers only to realize that the work I do on one is not reflected when I go on the other. After reading some of the comments in this forum, I now realize that a copy of the pics go right on the computer's hard drive.
Is it possible to just edit, etc the pics on my external network hard drive and replace the old pic with the edited one?
Also, is it possible, for the work I do on pics on one mac to appear in the other's iphoto library? Meaning, when I do "events" and "faces" on one mac, is it possible to see that work on the other?
If not, then at this rate, I will have 3 copies of the same photo - one on the external network hard drive, one on the iMac, and one on the Macbook pro!!! I've read some stuff ref iCloud and it sounds like this could be a possible solution but am not sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thx,
Craig

Sort of?
Is it possible to just edit, etc the pics on my external network hard drive and replace the old pic with the edited one?
That's a straight no. iPhoto is a Digital Asset Manager and as such always preserves the original file. Basically, to iPhoto, your original file is the "digital negative" and it protects that the same way a film shooter will protect his negative. So it will never edit or replace an original file.
Also, is it possible, for the work I do on pics on one mac to appear in the other's iphoto library? Meaning, when I do "events" and "faces" on one mac, is it possible to see that work on the other?
There are a couple of ways to make this happen.
A: If you only edit nd manipulate on one machine, then simply back up the library to the other machine. Net result: The same editions of the same photos on both machines.
B: Create one Library and share it across both machines - best way to do this is to put it on an external hard drive and then plug that into whatever machine needs the library at whatever time.
But... This can't be your "network hard drive". The disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
I suspect that iCloud will make all of this moot, but until we see it in action we won't know for sure.

Copying VHS tapes to Hard Drive for editing in iMovie

OK, so I have old home videos on VHS tapes; I was going to burn them all to DVD, but found that they cannot be edited and I understand ripping them will degrade the quality (and we're working with VHS -- not the best quality to begin with!) So, I learned there is a way "analog digital capture" where I can transfer the VHS tapes onto a hard drive, then edit in iMovie.
I know I could pay for a transfer house to do it, but I think it would be wiser financially to invest in the device I need to do it myself.
I don't entirely understand what I need to buy, or how to do it, does anyone know what I am asking and what to do? Thank you so much!

I am using a JVC DR MV-150 VHS DVD recorder which dubs directly.
The results look better than the originals.
Some problems with "finalizing" the DVDs, but I managed to push a series of buttons and got there. It is not what JVC says in their manual and found something on line which was wrong as well, but a combination got me there.
It is one touch, load in tape, load in blank DVD and push dubbing. Machine initializes the DVD and then transfers, at the end you go through a process to "finalize" the DVD and done.
Cost me $200 at Sma's Club.
You can also take semi full tapes and pause the dubbing and put in a new VHS tape and record a "New" chapter.
All in all I like it. It has better quality than going from VHS to computer, I assume they have some sort of a chip in the machine to make this better.

How do I set up Time Machine to work with an Iomega network hard drive?

I have just bought a new iMac having switched from Windows, and am very much a beginner when it comes to all things Apple. Previously I had used my NAS hard drive with my old windows pc. i successfully used it to transfer a lot of data from the old pc to the iMac but can't seem to get it recognised when I try to configure time machine. I have downloaded the latest version of Iomega Home storage manager which appears in the application folder in the dock, but when I click on The HSM icon it just disappears and nothing happens. I can access the drive through the Bonjour service and can see its contents in Finder. I have looked through the forums here but much of the info assumes a level of knowledge that i don't have. Is there an 'idiot's guide' anywhere to enable me to set up time machine to use the network hard drive?

You would probably benefit from a couple of things, first going through these 2 links
Time Machine FAQs & Time Machine Troubleshooting.
If you still have questions there is a TM forum, because TM is part of OS X you will find the forum in the Snow Leopard forum. Click Apple Support Communities and in the search field type Snow Leopard. Once you are in the correct forum you can narrow your search by clicking Refine this list.
