How do i get my laptop to see hardrive on airport extreme?

I have an external hard drive connected to my airport extreme. I am having trouble mapping to the hard drive. Any suggestions??

this is a serious issue that Apple refused to address with firmware update...my 4 HDs worked fine with the previosu AE..as soon as I updated to AC (latest version), the external HDs as well as Brother laser printer no longer worked...
Again, all wroked well before, now, not working..was wiorking before, not working now...important point...
HDs were formatted to journal mode, they are accessible by direct USB conection to my Air...But with the latest AE, all the good functionalites are gone..my Air no loger sees the HDs and I am unbale to print wirelessly..
All HDs and printer were hooked to a powered USB port, then to AE..In order to eliminate USB hub, I hooked them up one by one directly yo AEac, still I am unable to see them..none of the previous posts on this form resolved this issue...
Instead of being an asset, AE AC became a liability...I am reading all types of customer posts on here, but none really addresses in a way that puts the burden to Apple...All solutions are pro-Apple to whitewash the issue..
lately I feel like I am dealing with Windows and Microsoft..Someone in Apple needs to take us seriously and address this from firmware point of view..

  • How can I get an email contact to return my Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Just bought it on line a couple of weeks ago, and as seems to be the case with everyone else here it just has never, ever worked right. Dropped signals, failure to renew DHCP's etc.
    Make a long story short, I unlugged it, went back to my old Airport Base Station and all is fine, so clearly it's the very first piece of crap I've ever gotten from this great company (I currently own 5+ apples.)
    Anyway...how can I get it exchanged without having to call Bangalore?

  • How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

    I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
    What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
    Please advise and thank you!

    Use a (powered) USB hub.

    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple.   See:  Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

  • How do I get the following information for setting up AirPort Extreme?

    Getting these two messages when attempting to set up brand new Airport Extreme. Where do I get the information needed to resolve these problems?  Thank you

    What modem router do you have? Is it adsl and is it working in as router at the moment?
    The way apple run the Airport now is to try and take over as the main router.. this is not always possible and sadly because no choice is given you have to work through the setup again and deliberately force it to the correct setting.. ie off bridge mode.
    Assuming you do have a modem router..
    Click on edit settings on the bottom..
    Go to the internet tab and change it to dhcp.
    Go to the network tab.
    Change it from dhcp and nat to off bridge mode.
    The AE will then work as wireless AP and switch which is fine.
    Otherwise you need to bridge your modem and supply the pppoe info that the ISP passed to you.

  • How can I get a PC connect to my home Airport Extreme network ?

    HELP!  I'm trying to get a new PC (that we know has a working wireless card-it works fine at Best Buy) to connect to my home Airport Express network?
    It's an older Apple Airport, but I have multiple Mac's of various ages, an iPad, 2 iPhone 4S & an iPod Touch and they ALL connect with no problems.
    The PC can see the network - it reads the name of it - but won't load any page. I keep getting a "this page can't be displayed" message, and in the windows task bar I can see multiple bars (indicating its connected) but it has the deadly yellow triangle with a ! on it....
    I tried calling the manufacturer tech support and they had me delete & re-install drivers, but that did nothing. We took the PC back to Best Buy today and the techs there were able to log onto the internet - the Best Buy techs said that their in-store wireless router was old & slow.
    So I am at a loss to get this PC to connect to the internet.
    Any suggestions or thoughts are much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • I have mac, desktop v. 3.6.16 will not update to 6. My mac laptop is updated to 6 but runs very slow. How do I get my laptop back to 3.6.16

    Desktop is an imac is 10.6.8 running firefox v 3.6.16 and runs well. My mac laptop also 10.6.8 automatically upgraded to 6.0 and runs very slow, and I do not like the layout of the toolbar. How do I get my laptop back to 3.16.6

    Now it is clear which it wasn't before! We can't see what you have done or not so a good descriptions does help when communicating.
    If you have done all you say and some restarts too I would advise you to do the install of 10.6 from the installation disc. Restart the computer and then install the 10.6.6 Combo update. You just install "on top" of what you have. No archiving or formatting.

  • How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it.

    How can I get iMovie 10 to see my iPhoto Library after I relocated it. I moved my iPhoto Library to a secondary hard drive, because my main SSD wasn't large enough. I then upgraded to IMove 10.0.4 and also moved my iMovie Library to the secondary hard drive. When I highlight the iPhoto Library in iMovie there is nothing there. Any ideas on how to get iMove to find my relocated iPhoto Library?

    I think I may have solved my own problem. I left cliked on the relocated iPhoto Library and went to "Open with >." I then went to "Other...." I then set the wind located in the bottom labled "Enable:" to "All Applications" and picked iMovie. It gave me a error, but the ultimate result was that iMove now was linked to my iPhoto Library.

  • X220 with Intel Series 310 80 GB mSATA SSD (How do you get Win 7 to see drive

    Hi Everyone,
    I am the proud owner of a new x220 with the following spec:
    * i7 2.70GHz
    * * gis mem
    * Bios version 1.21
    * running Win 7 64-bit professional.
    * 320 hd
    I am very proud of my self for installing the Intel Series 310 80 GB mSATA SSD by myself (not very technical).  
    1. If I hit F12 on boot up the drive is available.  
    2. Running Lenovo Think Vantage Tool Box and it sees the Intel SSDMAEMC080G2 drive...
    The question I have is that windows does not see this as a drive from my computer..ect.  My question is how to I get Win 7 to see this drive so I can move my win 7 to it and set as a the boot drive.
    What step am I missing???  Thanks everyone for your help!!!

    Hi, guys
    If you whant to use the msata drive as the 2nd drive in the system you've to initialize it.
    For making it bootable the are seveal methods. I've used the next two:
    1. I used Intel Data Migration Software tool (based on Acronis technology) to transfer all image from the stock hdd to the new Intel SSD drive 320 Series (120 gb). At this moment the new drive was plased into the external usb box. Then I've booted from the new drive and resized the partitions using the Disk Management applet.
    2. The second method is to use the factory recovery media (USB stick in my case). I did that for the new msata SSD drive (non Intel 128 gb). Insert the new drive, boot from the usb stick, fully recover, reboot into the bios setup, change the boot priority for the new drive, reboot from the new drive, resize the partitions and delete the Lenovo_recovery partition on the new drive. I'm sure the cloning tool will work for msata too.
    No actions were carried out with the SSD drives (I mean initializing, partioning...) before data migrating in both cases.

  • I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities Airport Utilities and all get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. I need help?

    I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities>Airport Utilities and all I get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser window which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

    Open AirPort Utility. The first screen looks something like this:
    Click on the AirPort Extreme and another screen will appear. Click Edit, then the window with the Wireless tab will appear.
    If you do not see these screens, you will need to start over and configure your AirPort again.

  • How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

    How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?  My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings.  Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password? 

    Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps
