How do I set up remote access to my HD thats hooked to New Airport Extreme

Hi Everyone,
I want to have remote access to my hard drive which is hooked up to the USB Port on the back of the Airport Extreme. I have tried many different configurations and watched youtube videos to help me, to no avail. Apparently there are many ways to do this, but no luck!
Thanks for your help and if you have screen shots even more helpful.
I know I can't be the only one with this question and Apple doesn't make it easy since I called them and they want me to sign up for Mobile Me for $99/yr,
Thanks in Advance,
Robert

I should mention that its the only router I have which is hard wired via cable to modem.

  • How does one set up remote access via the internet to access files stored on the Time Capsule using airport utility 6.1

    I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with instructions please on how to set up remote access via the internet to the time capsule when away from home?
    I am running OS X Mountain Lion operating system and have Airport Utility 6.1.
    Many thanks to you all for your help.

    How can Iset up remote access on my iPad?

    Thank you for responding, James.  I just figured it out.  I used Safari  to connect to my office server system by using the http://mail server address/remote.  It works just like any computer.

  • How do I set up remote access so I can access my work iMac from home

    I'm sorry, I'm sure I should be able to find the answer to this but so far I can't. I have a G5 Imac at work. I also have one at home. (same model computer) and a G4 powerbook and the new macbook (with the intel processor). Here's my problem. I want to be able to leave my work computer turned on when I go home and access files that are on it from home, or remotely from the macbook wherever I am. Problem is, I have no idea how to set it up to be able to do that. Do I need special software?
    Thanks and I apologize if this is covered someplace else. I couldn't find the answer.

    That is possible. First make sure that this is OK (and allowed) with your IT/computer support at work.
    (a) Configuring the work computer...
    Is there a router between the work iMac and the internet? If so, the first step is to configure the work iMac to use a static/manual IP address. The next step is to map/forward the appropriate ports through the router to the IP address used by the work iMac.
    On the work iMac, open the Sharing preference pane and enable Personal File Sharing.
    (b) Accessing the work computer remotely...
    You must know the public IP address given by the ISP to your work location. If your ISP gives you an IP address via DHCP this address could periodically change. If your ISP gives you a static/manual IP address the address won't change.
    Start/access the file sharing method you want to use and configure it using the IP address from the work computer.

  • Set up Remote Access for Mac Mini

    I recently bought a Mac Mini and set it up at home. It is running on Mac OS X 10.8.3, and runs on Server 2.2.1 and Airport Utilities 6.2. I would like to be able to access the Mac Mini server from outside my home. Does anyone know the procedure of setting up remote access (through SSH or VPN) without creating an internet domain name? Thanks!
    I'm quite new to many of the Apple products, so it would be good if the answers are clearer and more detailed. Thanks!

    As Barney-15E says, Back-to-My-Mac is the best option.
    After that, try TeamViewer.com
    ssh can be done, but there are setup details with respect to your home router to allow port 22 from the Internet side to your Mac mini <http://portforward.com>.  And then you will need a dynamic DNS name from someone like No-IP.com or DynDNS.org so you can find your home router.  Once you have that setup, you should make sure you use a good strong password, as you have now exposed a known port to the internet <http://xkcd.com/936/> and <https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm>.  Don't forget to enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login.  So now you can ssh, but what do you want to do with that?  You can create ssh tunnels for VNC screen sharing and AFP file sharing.
    ssh -L 22590:localhost:5900 -L 22548:localhost:548 [email protected]
    Now you have logged in and you have 2 tunnels.  How to use them.
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:22590
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> afp://localhost:22548
    Back-to-My-Mac and/or TeamViewer.com are easier

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • How do you guys do remote access?

    Hi All,
    I have a customer with a MAC at both office and home.  When she is a home she would like to remote into her work computer (okay'ed by her boss) to work on various things (she is a graphics artist).
    How do you guys do remote access?  Do you have anything like Linux's XRDP?
    What ports and what protocol (TCP, UDP) do you use?
    Many thanks,
    -T

    So  something like Goodreader or Dropbox would work...if the files are *.doc's you could use Quick Office Pro HD to edit  them. An iPad probably isn't the place to do complicated edits, however...either of these apps will allow a file local to the iOS device to be stored, then sent to another app such as Quick Office Pro HD...or you could also have the files stored in an email folder in say, Outlook, and then have that folder sync to the iOS device OTA with the iOS Exchange client...

  • Remotely access usb western digital 2tb storage connected to airport

    Hi everyone, just wanted get some feedback on this set up, if it is possible, and how to configure the settings properly. I want my Netgear n600 router Version 1 + Airport Express + WD 2tb hard drive to = a personal cloud that I can remotely access. I have a netgear n600 WNDR3400 that has a 2.4ghz and a 5.0ghz  wifi network capability. I 30-30-30 flashed the netgear n600 router so that I have dd-wrt firmware( DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/08/11) mega) running on the router instead of the restrictive built-in netgear web interface. I have an Airport Express 802.11g version 6.3 that I have connected to the netgear n600 router via ethernet cable. Connected to the airport express, via usb 2.0, is a Western Digital 2tb hard drive (externally powered). When I am booted up from the internal macbook pro hard drive mac side (I also have Bootcamp Windows 7 installed that I can boot from) my mac's time machine application starts backing up to the WD hard drive when I connect the usb hard drive to my macbook pro. The entire WD hard drive is formatted as HFS+, however I am considering partitioning the WD at least 3 ways, 1250 gigs HFS+ for mac storage, 500 gigs NFTS for windows storage, 250 gigs for unux / linux storage to host my website. I want to remotely access the WD storage space connected to the Airport Express, specifically, each individual hard drive partition based upon what remote system I am using and the respective partition storage format. If I am on a windows computer, I want to have a 500 gig "cloud" that I can access any computer via a windows Start -> Run or map the network drive. I want the same home server ability as a 1250 gig cloud that any mac can access. I want to have remote read or write priviledges when I connect to this server through the mac finder. Similarly, I want to connect through a linux terminal to have access to my 250gig partition for unix. One last thing, I want to host my website on the WD plugged into my Airport Express. Does anyone have any suggestions what dd-wrt settings I need to change to make this work? I do not understand port forwarding very well at all. I think I understand that I need to have a static ip address and then forward the ports.  I just do not know what to set my static ip to, or what settings I need to change in the dd-wrt web interface for forwarding ports. Can anyone please tell me which ports do I forward to remotely access my usb storage and personal website? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Much obliged, Keento

    The Express doesn't support HDDs.

  • Set up DynDNS access through existing network with new Airport Extreme

    Hey everyone!
    I just can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong here...
    I am working with an office network which was initially set up with a Linksys router and a separate Linksys hub connecting two Macs and a network printer in one particular room. We added several new iMacs and for ease of connectivity, decided to add a new Airport Extreme base as one of the new iMacs is acting as a server for a database the other new wireless iMacs connect to. Also, all the machines need access to the connected network printers connected in various parts of the office.
    What we have now is the original Linksys router -> Linksys hub -> Airport Extreme. Everything seems to be working fine this way but I do believe that both the Linksys router AND the Airport Extreme are distributing IP addresses, which I'm thinking, could be the problem. I set up a DnyDNS account just fine, assigned port # 8080 on the server iMac and also opened port 8080 on both the Linksys and Airport Extreme. I still cannot get through to the server via DynDNS however.
    I am wondering if I should turn off IP distribution on the Airport Extreme and let the Linksys router handle all that? The software that the other wireless iMacs run to access the database on the server depends on the server IP address too, so will this need to be changed if the Linksys is handling IP addressing? How does the hub affect any of this... does it change or interfere with the addressing in any way?
    Thank in advance for any ideas or suggestions!

  • How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?

    How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?
    I have an external hard drive attached to my Airport Extreme and I can access it just fine through Finder.  I would like to be able to keyboard navigate to it in an efficient manner.  I tried to use the "Go to the folder" feature but was unable to.
    I had tried dragging the drive to the Network folder but the shortcut it created does not lead to the drive's contents...it seems to lead right back to the parent directory:
    I hope I explained the question well.  Thank you for all of your help and time in tending to my inquiry.

    Cant you set up "back to my mac" then go to finder preferences and put a check mark under everything under the shared location. Also set up back to my mac on your airport extreme.

  • How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

    How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
    Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting? 
    I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
    Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
    As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
    If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
    Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
    And, remember, at the onset I wrote
    As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
    I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
    issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
    I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
    I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.
    ATR
    Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

  • How do I unhide my network which I recently set up with new Airport Extreme?

    I recently set up my new Airport Extreme. Then realised my Canon MX 410 was not seeing it on wifi network. I've been told I need to unhide the AE so the printer can see it. However, when I go into Airport Utility it is not giving me the option to unhide. I have tried connecting ethernet cable to it & turning off wifi, but this does not help.. Any ideas people?
    Thanks....

    I've been told I need to unhide the AE so the printer can see it.
    Advice likes this sounds good.....IF.....you previously enabled the option to "hide" your network. Chances are, you would know if you did do this, but if you are not sure, you can check to see if the network really is "hidden".
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Click Wireless Options at the bottom of the window
    If the network is hidden, you will see a check mark in the box next to Create Hidden Network.  If the box is not checked, then your network is not hidden...so there is no way to "unhide" a network that is not hidden in the first place.....and you might want to contact Canon support for help on how to set up your printer.
    If you do see that the box is checked, then remove the check mark to "unhide" your network, click Save, then click Update and allow a full minutre for the AirPort Extreme to restart.

  • How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

    How do I set up my mail to automatically reply that we are on holiday?

    From Mail Help:
    You can create a rule to have Mail automatically reply to incoming messages. For example, you can set up a rule that’s triggered by a specific subject so that Mail replies automatically to all messages with that subject.
    This feature is useful if you receive a lot of similar messages from an online form on a website, and you want to reply automatically.
    To automatically reply to messages:
    Choose Mail > Preferences and click Rules.
    Click Add Rule and type a descriptive name for the rule.
    Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a message.
    From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose “Reply to Message.”
    Click “Reply message text” and enter the text for your reply message.
    Mail will include the text you enter, along with the full text of the original message, in the message that it sends.
    Mail must be running to automatically reply to messages, because rules aren’t processed while your computer is shut down or you’re logged out. To set up automatic replies while you’re on vacation, ask your email service provider how to set up an out-of-office reply.
    Carefully consider the rules you create for sending automated replies. If they’re too broad, you can send messages inadvertently or create message loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rule.
    After a rule has processed a message, the message’s status icon changes to a gray arrow to indicate a reply was sent.
