How can I have the external HD connected to my Airport Extreme show up on Windows 7 and 8.1?

So, I have an Airport Extreme which works flawlessly.  I have a 1 TB external HD connected to it.  On my Maccbook Pro and a windows 7 laptop, I can view the HD as "Z".  For some reason, on another Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Laptop, it is not showing up under my computer.  Any advice?  THANKS!!

You can share files with iOS devices by using filebrowser or other file app.
To play movies on the iOS device though you would need a player that is outside of itunes.. because itunes will not play from the router.. it has no media extensions.. neither does the TC which merely adds an internal disk but is otherwise identical.
So look up how to play movies with a player on the iOS.. there is several available I am sure.

BUT itunes depends on a computer running in the network.. so storing the itunes library on the AE is useless.. and will slow the network down no end. It is much better to put files where they can be accessed.. ie directly on the computer.

  • I can not access the hard drive connected to my airport extreme!  Any thoughts?

    I can not access the hard drive connected to my ariport extreme.  When I use the finder to connect a server and type in the IP of the a. extreme, 10.0.1.1 it does not work and I get an error message.
    Any thoughts.

    Is the hard drive formatted for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
    If yes, you may need to use a powered USB hub since the USB port on the AirPort Extreme is under powered and it is often necessary to use a powered hub....even if the hard drive has its own power supply
    If both items check out above.....have you checked Finder Preferences to make sure that "Connected Servers" will be displayed?
    Finder Preferences > General > Show These Items on the Desktop > Connected Servers
    Then with the Finder menus displayed at the top of the screen click the Go menu
    Click Network and the AirPort Extreme icon should be displayed
    Double click the icon to mount the drive on the desktop

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • How can I tell the device is connected to itunes 12?

    how can I tell the device is connected to itunes 12?  I have Windows 8.  I hear that the device is connected, but don't see the device to manage.  Only thing that happens is on the phone it says Trust the computer..   I say Trust and nothing happens.

    in ituens at the top where you see the small icons for Music, Movies, TV etc when your device is connected you will see a small icon representing your phone or ipad etc popup click that and it will show you the usual interface for backup and syncing.
    if that doesnt happen, like it didint for me initially, you should close itunes fully via task manager if you know how to do this and start it again with the device unplugged then plug it in after itunes has finished loading.
    Worst case scenario you nee to resatrt

  • How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a  1440 x 900 ext not in miror

    How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a 1440 x 900 ext not in miror mode ???
    I have a Lenovo external display :
    H19-inch (483-mm) viewable image size
    Optimum resolution: 1440 x 900
    Tilt stand for viewing comfort adjustments
    16 x 10 aspect ratio
    Analog attachment

    I just bought a wide screen display that also uses 1440 X900 resolution. In mirror mode mine also only allows a maximum of 1280 X ???. I think may be a limitation of the GMA 950 graphics chip set. I never use it in mirrow mode so it doesn't bother me. I prefer extended mode. That way I can keep more windows open and visible.
    I use the question mars because on mine I can use 1280 X any of the resolutions that go with it.

  • How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?

    How can I reuse the BC4J database connection?
    I want to use the application module connection without opening another in a custom code. At this level I can’t access de ADF code, that’s why I can’t get the DBConnection from the application module.
    Now, I have a “data-sources.xml” in my project and the application module is configured to access the database from this xml file.

    I found the solution in other Forum. I worked ok.
    Here the code:
    If the Connections-Navigator connection is DBConnection1, the corresponding datasource is jdbc/DBConnection1DS.
    1. Create a JSP page.
    2. In the web.xml of the JSP add
    <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/DBConnection1DS</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    </resource-ref>
    3. In the JSP page obtain a connection with the datasource.
    InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
    javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DBConnection1DS");
    java.sql.Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.

  • How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

    Not sure what you are referring to. If you have any files MIA, simply re-download and reinstall the app via AAM.

  • How can I have the pricing conditions at the item and header level of the d

    How can I have the pricing conditions at the item and header level of the delivery? There exist "condition" tabs both the header and the item level of the delivery but the contents of the tabs are empty. I'll be happy if you can help me. Thanks in advance....

    Hi
    If you want to have the pricing procedure at delivery level then you need to assign a pricing procedure at delivery level also
    Just go through the path to maintain the pricing procedure at delivery level.
    IMG -> Logistics execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Procedure. for Delivery.
    But can you be more clear if the above one is not your query ?
