How to access a harddrive on a home network with an iPad

How to access a hard drive on a home network with an iPad ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Some drive manufacturers have produced apps for this purpose, if your drive manufacturer doesn't do this then you might look through the app store for third party solutions.

  • HT3819 Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

    Is it possible to share a printer (attached to a Windows-7 PC) on my home network, with an iPad, iPhone or a Mac?

    Possibly. You'd need to see if your printer has any programs you can put on that attached computer to allow it to be a print server.
    I'd start with your printer manufacturer first. See if they offer anything. for your model. If not, then you can look for any printer apps or programs.

  • How do you properly set up a home network with multiple devices?  I have a macbook pro, an iMac, and several other phones, tablets, roku devices, etc.  Everything works properly except for when I try to access the other computer through the network.

    I have an iMac and a macbook pro that I used to be able to share files between but ever since I moved 3 months ago I can't get it to work.  Also, now my phone and my wife's phone are inseparably connected.  She seems to be getting all of my text messages but I don't get hers.  We also bought new computers right before we moved so that might have something to do with it.  Both computers are on my account and have my name.  Thanks in advance, it would be nice to get this working again - tired of walking ten feet with a flash drive to share files  : )

  • How to set up an HP6122 on home network with Win 7 laptop?

    HP6122 works when plugged into laptop USB port.  Can't get it to work when it's plugged into an XP computer on the same network.

    Have you install the necessary drivers for the printer on the computer with XP??
    The best thing is to use a jetdirect. I have bought a cheap jetdirect e3700 on ebay and connected it to a Linksys router. I can use it on linux without any driver (hplip package only) and on Windows it needs just a printer driver. You don't have to even plug the printer into a pc through an usb port with the jetdirect card..

  • Don't know how to access my email away from home

    i don't know how to access my email away from home.
    can't find webmail or email options.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; AOL 9.1; AOLBuild 4334.5009; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; GTB6.3; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)

    Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
    If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

  • How to hook up a G3 iBook to a home network with only Windows machines?

    Before I attach an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.9) to a home network with only Windows machines, what should I know? (I intend to connect the iBook to an Ethernet socket on my Westell modem+router.) My reason for doing this is to back up a million family photos in the iBook's iPhoto Library.
    This is the iBook:
    Machine Model: iBook (Dual USB)
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 800 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 640 MB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.6.4f1
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
    Please give me as much detail as you can stand to write, because I know nothing about Apples. It's for my dear old Dad, who has no other way to back up priceless photos.
    For example, when things are working well and the iBook "sees" the Windows machines, how do I copy the iPhoto Library?
    Thanks!!

    Hello,
    When I got my first mac this ( http://macs.about.com/cs/tipstutorials/a/xposxsharing.htm ) article helped me enormously.
    It's very easy to write to the disc once you've set up the network.
    On the mac locate the iPhoto library (normally open finder and click on pictures).
    Open another finder window and locate the windows PC on your network, then mount the folder to which you will back up the iPhoto library.
    Drag the iPhoto library to this folder.
    Wait.
    Wait some more.
    When the copy is complete check the images can be accessed from the PC.
    Unmount the folder from the mac by dragging it to the trash.
    Congratulations.
    Beware though, if you're like me you'll find this apple thing adicitve!!!

  • How do I hook up a G3 iBook to my home network with only Windows machines?

    I'm completely ignorant of Apple technology but pretty good for a novice with Windows PC's. To help a family member with an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.9) back up a gazillion family photos (at least 3.2GB in the iPhoto Library), we want to connect his iBook to my home network with two Windows machines (one of which is connected via UBS to an external drive for backup). But before I just connect his iBook to an Ethernet port on my Westell modem+router, what should I know?
    I need to know all the basics and all the steps, in as detailed a manner as you can stand to tell me.
    And when it all looks good, what are the steps to copy the iPhoto Library to a designated spot on one of the Windows machines (or that external hard drive)?
    By the way, this is the iBook:
    Machine Model: iBook
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 800 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB

    Many thanks!

    Thinking of purchasing Time Capsule.... Can I access my documents saved on (Home Network) Time Capsule from another Network??? For instance, I can access my documents saved on MyBookLive (which is connected to my wifi) from ANY wifi connection... Like when I'm at school I can download documents stored on my MyBookLive at home.... I love this feature... But I would prefer to keep my products apple... So my question is can I access my documents from ANYWHERE with Time Capsule???
    Other products I have: MacBook (2009 limited edition it's aluminum) two iPad2 (2012) iPhone 5 (2012) two iphone4 iPod touch (2010) iPod Nano (2011)

    Remote access to TC is allowed by BTMM and iCloud service.
    Not for ipad or iphone.. only the Macbook although I think people have some work arounds..
    NOTE. Your school firewall should block it. If I was still working in network admin I would. ie you are risking the whole network to get access to files unchecked for viruses.. and please don't just say Macs don't get viruses, you can still be the source of the infection even if you don't suffer the disease. Just a carrier.

  • TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Simple Home networking with Mac OS X Server

    Hi all,
    Can anybody give me a quick guide to setting up a basic home network with the use of Mac OS X Server for central administration?
    I have 2 desktop macs, 1 mac laptop and 2 PC laptops and occasionally I have a number of friends bringing around their laptops.
    I would like to set up all the basic services so that guests and registered users can access share points and home folders . I would also like to be able to use the DHCP service for this and be able to use basic services like DNS and AFP.
    Does anybody know how to quickly set this up on a private home network?
    I am new to Mac OS X Server so be gentle
    Thanks.

    John Detroye works for Apple education in Colorado, USA. He has written what i consider the best practical guide to setting up a Server system for use in a School, which is essentially what you want to do. Although he wrote it initially for 10.3 Panther Server, almost all of it still applies.
