How do I re-connect to a drive on my network?

We have 2 Macs connected through a router. I access drives from my G4 to our G5 all the time - but this morning I accidentally "ejected" one of the G5 drives I was connected to, and now I can't re-connect. When I use the normal routine (Go -> Connect to Server -> Browse -> Local -> Guest's computer -> login as registered user) I can see the G5 desktop and internal drive, but not the external drive I need access to.
The external drive IS accessible directly from the G5.
Restarting didn't work. How can I make my G4 "see" the external drive on the G5 again?
I am running OS X 10.3.9.

Never mind. We did some more restarting and got it to work.

    how do i add an external hard drive to my network

    If your external HDD has a USB interface and is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT32, you can connect it directly to the USB port on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). You would then use the AirPort Utility to configure the AEBSn to share out the HDD over the network.
    Please see the following Apple Support article on how to mount the HDD on your computer.

  • How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical. 
    If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
    Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization? 
    You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
    If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured.   This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
    If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
    The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
    http://10.20.30.40
    UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share.  That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network.  You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server.  (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
    If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance.  If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed.  (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

  • Leopard  - how do I share a USB Hard Drive on the Network

    Hi All, All my media is on a USB2 hard drive on my iMac (bedroom PC). I'd like to share the videos with a mac mini running Leopard, which is in the living room. I've shared the folder, enabled file sharing in system preferences, but for some reason, am not being able to see the shared folder on any of my other macs.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I totally agree. It was frustrating that it would add to the sharing list just like any other folder and say it's shared but then not appear on the network on other computers.
    Another thing I have noticed when I share a folder on a fat32 drive is that the permissions it displays are different. It will display "Daniel Read & Write" twice and then "Everyone Read", while when I share a folder on a MAc OS Extended (Journaled) drive it displays "Daniel Read & Write", "Users Read" and "Everyone Read". So perhaps this has something to do with it. I did have a quick play and change the permissions to read & write for everyone and still no joy.
    I also tried connecting to my imac from my macbook as Daniel which gave me network access to every folder on my imac (even if not shared) but still the FAT32 drive did not appear, but the Journaled one did. I will carry on playing with this but I do think it is a bug in the OS. I never got round to trying this on Tiger, do you know if it was fine there?

  • How can I remotely connect to VM outside of Internal Network without connecting to Host Machine?

    I am running Windows 7 in a VM: The VM was setup using Hyper-V within Windows Server 2012 R2. First, I configured the
    Linksys router Port Forwarding for TCP 3389 and 3390. To both IP addresses. I also created Firewall Inbound Rules for Port 3389 and 3390.
    To connect within Network, I simply enter the VM IP address or Computer Name, username and password and the connection is successful. I am also able to connect to the Host Machine out of my local Network by using the
    Public IP address.
    The Problem:
    When I attempt to access the VM, lets say at a Caribou or the Library, or any other outside Network, I am landing into the Host Machine instead of the VM.
    For example:
    To log into the VM outside, I used the same Public IP address, the username and password to the VM but I am landing in the Host machine with an error message that the user is invalid.
    I have also tried the following: Computer Name:3389 but not successful.
    How do I access the VM so that the connection is not going to the Host?

    What I have done in the past for this is to configure different ports on the router.  Generally your router will have a single public IP address. Let's just call it 1.1.1.1. Then in my router I configure ports to be forwarded.  Let's assume your
    Hyper-V host is 192.168.2.100 and your VM is 192.168.2.101.  On the router I configure some port, for example 43100 to be forwarded to 192.168.2.100:3389 for the host.  For the VM, port 43101 is forwarded to 192.168.2.101:3389.
    Then when I access from the public internet, I connect to 1.1.1.1:43100 for the host or 1.1.1.1:43101 for the VM.

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

    How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

    The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
    Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
    Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
    this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

    I tried automator, but without success.
    Thanks

    Interesting question.  Others have provided the direct answer (no, massive security hole), and a little time with a search engine finds various existing discussions of autorun-related topics (eg: here and here and here), and a link to the Do Something When tool, and there is the DeviceListener example in the Xcode kit and to adding a folder action where the volumes are mounted.  See the topics for details.   Haven't tried this stuff, though.

  • How to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)

    how to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)? Does it need a special format? It is now fromat on FAT32, but i don't see it ??

    The USB port your Mac is high powered. The port on the AirPort Extreme is not.
    So, it tends to be borderline as far as its ability to supply sufficient power to a hard drive...even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    Often, users...including me....need to use a powered USB hub when they attach any drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    You might want to give that a try. Double check to make sure that the drive is formatted in FAT32 as well, since Windows NTFS or exFAT will not work with the AirPort Extreme.
    Powering down and restarting the entire network.....modem first, then router, etc.....is something that you would always want to do after any change or addition to a network.

  • HT2426 how do i access my external hard drive connected to my time capsule 4th gen

    how do i acess my external hard drive (wd) that is connected to my time capsule using a macbook pro?

    Make sure that the drive has been formatted correctly to work with the Time Capsule.
    That means a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled)....highly recommended.....or FAT32.
    Once this is checked, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the screen
    If the USB port on the Time Capsule can supply enough power to the hard drive, you will see the name of the drive displayed in the window, per the example below:
    If you have the correct format on the drive, and it does not appear, this is an indication that the USB port on the Time Capsule  (which is under powered), does not have enough power to work with your hard drive.......even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    In this case, you will need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule to provide enough current for the hard drive.
    Now you should be able to access the drive using the Finder to mount it on the desktop.

  • How to use time capsule as hard drive and connect with existing net gear router

    I have a netgear D6300 router, which i use to connect to internet - which is excellent so far for my downloads and games etc for my PS4 and hence am keen to continue using it. I bought the Airport time capsule for wireless storage, and when i set it up, I was advised on setup to connect the TC to my router, and it did what it needed to do.
    Now, in order to connect to internet, i need to connect wifi to net gear router, but to access time capsule, i need to change wifi connection to my newly created wifi network with TC.
    I want to use TC as a backup storage for my mac (its a 3TB TC), but also, my laptop has only 500gb hard drive which is now half full from downloads, so i want to transfer all my downloads to my TC and use it as an external hard drive, and future downloads to TC - but when i connect to wifi of TC, i can copy my folder on my mac, but not paste it to TC in finder. (the only thing in TC is an image of tmg of my macbook from first backup.).
    How do i use TC as an external HD - there wasn't much difference in price of external wifi/wireless HD between non-TC and TC at 3gb, so i just thought i'd go for the airport TC option.
    And is it possible to keep connected to wifi internet via net gear router, AND wifi TC - the whole point i bought it (from US shipped to australia on eBay, therefore not able to send back) was to use TC as external large HD via wifi, but keep my net gear router going.
    Surely there is a way to not having to flick between wifi connections of TC and net gear internet.
    When i'm connected to TC, i can't access internet, only TC.
    And I don't really want to connect TC to my router via ethernet cable, as too many cables.
    This can't be a difficult situation to manage, but i'm not sure how to do it.
    Thanks

    And I don't really want to connect TC to my router via ethernet cable, as too many cables.
    Sorry but you have very little choice.
    The TC can join to a wireless network.. but it is flakey, poor, slow and highly NOT recommended way to do things.
    Nevertheless if you want to give it a try .. here is the method.
    How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
    You SHOULD, plug the TC into the Netgear and run it in bridge mode.. you set the wireless to create a wireless network.. then when you connect to the TC it will be also connected to the internet and fast.
    (if you don't do that you may as well have used a USB drive plugged into the Netgear, as it would be just as good).
    TC is not actually designed for mixing Time Machine backups and files.. but if you are just storing downloads that is ok.. but I strongly recommend you use a DMG or sparsebundle to prevent the TM and the data from messing each other.
    See Pondini instructions here.
