How do I get my Windows 8 machine to Backup to Airport Extreme HDD?

Hello,
I want to run weekly backups from my Windows 8 Desktop to my built-in 2TB HDD on my Airport Extreme. When I go to network folders I do not pick up the HDD at all. Any suggestions? I have gotten this to work once, but I am having issues figuring out what I did differently before.
Thank you ahead of time!

Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • 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 am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine).
    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 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 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

    The messages are related.
    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

    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select

    from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section? If it's not "Mac OS Extended," Time Machine can't back up the volume.

    How do you get the Windows side on a Mac?

    There is no Windows side on a Mac unless you install a version of Windows in a virtual machine or use Boot Camp to partition the drive and install Win 7 (if you are using a Macbook Pro that came with OS X Lion installed).
    If you use a virtual machine you can install just about any version of Windows that you have a retail disc of and a legal license key to go with it.

  • How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again? After upgrading to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.

    How can I get my time machine to allow me to recover files again?
    After upgrading MBA to OS X, the time machine still backs up the files; but, I'm not able to navigate within the time machine or select any folders or files for restore.
    I've searched and can not find a solution to the problem that's being encountered.

    Yeap that all makes sense now.
    Do you only have the current backup showing in the TM display?? Won't it fill in the rest?
    Over wireless are you waiting for the indexing to finish.. ??
    Previous backup may not show for a couple of hours.
    Long short of it.. Mavericks version of TM is a pain.
    Sometimes it is easier to completely ignore the TM backup and do the restore manually.
    I have posted the details here. See if this helps.
