How do I access the hard drive that is plugged into my Wireless router?

I've got a HD plugged into my Linksys 3200 and do not know how to access it wirelessly from my iMAC. Can someone lend a hand as to how I can find and map network drives from my mac?

You should see it in Finder under Shared on the left pane.

I have a MacPro with two 1T hard drives. How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

I purchased a MacPro and upgraded to 2 1T hard drives. How do I access the hard drive that is not the start-up drive?

Have you formatted these new drives yet with Disk Utility? That is the first step.
Once they are formatted, if you want to see them on your desktop open the Finder preferences, General, and clock the checkbox that says "Show these items on the desktop" for the hard disks. If that preference was already set you should see the drives appear after they are formatted. Then they are there for you to use as you wish.

How can i access the hard drive in a satellite A30?

I have just bought a new hard drive and have been startled by the lack of information on the internet with help to access the hard drive. Please help. I have the satellite a30-203. Thanks, Daniel Short

Hi daniel,
turn your A30 upside down. Then you need to remove one screw in order to remove your optical drive. After this you will see the HDD. Remove 4 screws that secure your HDD from the computer. Then pull back the hdd using the back brackets in the same way like you pull out your optical device.
Hope this will help.

How Do I Access a hard drive that is hooked up through airport extreme

Hello - I am curious how I perform the following activities while being on my mac and need help.
- I have an airport extreme station setup on my main computer which is a PC and on that airport extreme I have plugged in a USB hard drive. I want the mac I am on to access the PC's hard drive via airport extreme.
- How do I get my mac to recognize files and folders on my windows machine?
Thanks
Dave

If the drive is hooked up to an 802.11n AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, click here and follow the instructions. If it's hooked up to a different AirPort base station, you can't.
To access the PC's internal drive, click here and use the file sharing instructions. If there's no document for Mac OS X 10.5 and that Windows version, use the one for 10.4 instead.

How do I access an external hard drive that is plugged into an AirPort Extreme

I have an external hard drive connected to my AirPort Extreme and I wanted to know how to access the photos and videos on it while using an iPhone or iPad while connected to the network. When I go to the airport utility app on my phone or iPad I can see the drive listed under file sharing and disks so I know it's connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You will need an App like Filebrowser to do what you want. More details here:

How do I change the hard drive that my ipod touch syncs to on a windows 7 pc

I have Windows 7 software on my pc. I have a ipod touch 64 gb and I don't have the space to sync it to my primary drive but I do on my secondary drive.
How do I get the files to sync to my secondary drive instead so I can update to newer software and restore my music/videos/contacts

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and change the location of the iTunes medic folder to the external HD. You will then have to import the library items into the new library.

I cannot get my computer to recognize the flash drives that I plug into the usb ports

I tried to locate a file from a memory stick and I could not get my usb port to recognize that I had inserted a memory stick in the usb ports.

No. I use VMFusion Version 2. I have not had this issue before. I have tried multiple memory sticks and they are not being recognized.

I have a broken screen on my 2008 MacBook, I want to access the hard drive what are my options?

I Have a 2008 MacBook with a broken screen, how can I access the hard drive?

1. Connect an external monitor. If everything else is working fine on the MacBook, you'll have full access to your computer. Or
2. If the MacBook has a FireWire port, use Target Disk Mode (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1661) to mount the HDD and then copy the files to the second Mac. Or
3. Remove the HDD, put it in a $20 USB caddy, and connect it to another Mac for file-retrieval.
By the way, this forum is devoted to vintage Classic operating systems that Apple retired over a decade ago. More people will see your posts if you put them in a forum devoted to your particular level of OS X (Leopard or above for a 2008 MacBook).

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

please someone help

Hi Glenn,
You need to Authorize your Mom's computer to your iTunes sign on. Sign on to iTunes, then go to Store at the top of the screen, and select Authorize this Computer.
Then you can download your purchases from your iTunes library by going to the iTunes Store (the one in the sidebar), Music, and then under Quick Links, Purchased.
Once the Purchased window comes up, select "Not on this Computer", and then select All Songs. Your purchased songs will display with a cloud next to them, and you can download them selectively or "Download All" (lower right-hand corner).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue. However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad. Does someone know how?

On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Type the name directly into windows explorer.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to my Time Capsule. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule?

I have 2 different MacBooks (owned by 2 people) connected to the same Time Capsule over a wifi network. I want to use the Time Capsule to back up both MacBooks separately from each other. Can one person access the hard drive of the other person, on the same Time Capsule? Is there a way to ensure that the files on the 2 laptops are kept private from each other? Thanks!

If someone really wants to do something, it won't take them long to find out how to do it.

Security on a Time Capsule is a bit like installing a lock on a tent. It will keep the honest folks out, but probably not the others.

How can I remove the hard drive from an iMac g4 before recycling it?

How can I remove the hard drive from an iMac g4 before recycling it?

There are take-apart guides online. For example
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html
However, you can also consider securely erasing the hard drive instead. You can do this using a Mac OS X installation disc with a version that your iMac G4 can boot from the optical drive. If this is a viable option, please post back (include Mac OS X version on installation disc).

How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

Hello,
How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.
