How to access USB HD on Windows?

I am able to connect to my usb hardrive on the mac's on my network, but I am unable to see the drive on the windows. What or how do I do access the drive?

Ok, let's double-check the file sharing setup on your AEBSn...
AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) - File Sharing Setup
Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:
Disks - File Sharing
- Secure Shared Disks: <With disk password | With base station password | With accounts >
(Note: Choose "With a disk password," or "With base station password" if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose "With accounts" if you want to secure the disk using accounts.
If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk.)
- Guest Access: <Not allowed | Read only | Read and write>
- Share disks over Ethernet WAN port: (unchecked)
(Note: Select the "Share disks over Ethernet WAN port" checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.)
- Advertise disks globally using Bonjour: (unchecked)
- Workgroup: <Windows workgroup name>
- WINS server: <WINS server IP address>

How to install USB driver for Windows?

I'm trying to connect my LG VS980 phone to a Windows XP computer. I'm having difficulty installing the USB driver.
After following several false trails, I found what I think is the right file: on a "Product Support" page which says it's for a "G2 Verizon VS980," there's a button labeled, "Install the USB DRIVER / USB DRIVER for Windows / DOWNLOAD." I clicked the button and downloaded a file 8 MB file. Its name is LG. Not LG.exe or LG.msi or LG.zip. Just LG.
When I double click the file, Windows quite reasonably asks me what program to use to run it. I don't know what program to use any more than Windows does.
There's a link labeled "Instructions... LG G2 VS980 SOFTWARE UPDATE below the download button. When I click it, it loads instructions for installing software on the phone.
Can anyone make sense of this for me?

I'll so my best to answer the questions.
>...what you're looking to do a transfer with...?
Initially I want to download pictures taken with the phone's camera. I've considered other uses for a USB connection that I can explore once it's working. I'm puzzled by the question, though. Why should the type of data I want to transfer affect the fact that I can't find an installable driver? I wonder whether my question means the same thing to you as it does to me.
Because photos and music are the basic media people want to transfer between their phones and computers. (Computers in this sense are laptops, desktops, note books etc.) So the question to you was valid.
>Also, have you tried any other computers?
No. Again, I'm puzzled. What difference would another computer make? Would I be able to find a download from one computer that I can't find from another? (Only by blind chance.) Might another computer be able to execute or load a file with no filetype? (Only if it has magical powers.)
Different computers may work where the computer you own evidently does not work. It is good to check the connection of the device to another computer to rule that out. I will answer the obvious of different operating systems and how they function.
>And which software version if your phone currently running?
That question makes sense. Unfortunately I can't answer it. I've looked up how to find the version number, and the instructions tell me to select an "About phone" item in the Settings menu, which doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist? open the Settings Menu go all the way to the bottom (scroll down) the last entry is "ABOUT PHONE" click it. It will give hardware and software versions operating system number etc. Its there trust me. My wife just bought this phone and loves it.
>Often times, the device drivers you're prompted to install are supported solely by the computer's software.
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Taken at face value, it's a trivial and obvious: any driver that one installs on any computing device is supported solely by (i.e., depends on) the device's software. But how does that relate to the question about the version of Android? Android runs on the phone; the driver has to run on the computer.
You stated you are using an older Windows XP computer, I can tell you I hooked my wife's phone to our Windows 8.1 computer and no drivers were necessary. It came up with an option on the phone screen and I chose USB Mass Storage for the connection. This option is also in the phones settings. Read the manual it has loads of information form you to use.
The device had a drive letter assigned and it was labeled LG-Network and once you double click it the folders for music, photos, etc. are all there. Via using windows manager you can simply do a copy and paste to and from the different folders and drives with ease.
Good Luck

How to access Calendar Events in Windows Phone 8.1 SDK

Hi,
I have multiple email accounts setup on my Windows Phone 8.1.
I have requirement to access appointments in calendar for specific email accounts and perform some operation. I found sample code on MSDN and all of the are examples of using Microsoft.Phone namespace. But as I am using Windows Phone 8.1 SDK and not Windows
Phone 8.1 Silverlight SDK.
Can someone guide me of an equivalent namespace/method of accessing calendar appointments using Windows Phone 8.1 SDK.
Thanks,
Nasir

Hi nasir,
If you would like to modify the server side appointments I believe you need to call server side api to manipulate them.
For instance if we would like to modify the data into O365 server,
Get started with the SharePoint 2013 REST service should be a good start. Also calling Exchange
Web services is a good idea.

How to access Bootcamp drivers in Windows 7?

Having successfully installed Windows 7 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition of my new iMac, I used Disk Utility to format an 8 GB USB flash drive, choosing the MSDOS (FAT32) Format option as instructed to do by the Bootcamp 5.0 installation PDF. I then unzipped the Bootcamp 5.0.5033 files I had previously downloaded and copied them to the root directory of my flash drive.
When I restarted Windows 7 with the USB flash drive mounted, I navigated to my flash drive using only the wireless keyboard and tried to open the setup.exe file to install the hardware drivers. To my surprise, Windows 7 regarded my flash drive as improperly formatted and therefore unreadable. It cheerfully offered to format it for me, which I declined.
Back on the Mac OS 10.8.3 partition, I found that I could reformat my flash drive using NTSC, but then the Mac OS could no longer copy the Bootcamp drivers onto it. Since I don't have the necessary Windows drivers installed, naturally I can't get online and download the Bootcamp driver files directly onto the Windows 7 desktop. And I don't have access to another Windows computer at the moment. So it's a case of: "You can't get there from here".
I'd appreciate any suggestions for workarounds.
Many thanks!

Eric,
Thanks for the links. I had consulted both of those web pages and followed their instructions. So I have requisite Bootcamp files. The problem is that, contrary to the instructions given in the BootCamp installation PDF, Windows 7 refuses to recognize my FAT32 formatted USB flash drive, so I can't get access to the driver files on it. And of course Windows 7 can't see the Mac OS partition so I can't access them there either.

Figuring out how to access a device using Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice?

Before I start, I would like to share this link I used to access windows RT libraries from Desktop applications (only the ones stated in MSDN documentation that are accessible from desktop applications):
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cdndevs/archive/2013/10/02/using-windows-8-winrt-apis-in-net-desktop-applications.aspx .
After following the above instructions you can import some of the windows RT libraries in references. I have been trying to use the Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice library. I think my UsagePage and UsageId are off though. I am wondering
if someone good in hex can translate them from my report descriptor. I already have the VID and PID (this should be enough along with the path if I called write file or some of the other win32/OS api's). Here's the code I am using in VB.NET:

How to access and control a Windows 7 computer from a Mac - long distance?

I bought my parents their very first computer. They are 2000 miles away in another state. Currently I have the computer in my possession to "set-up" everything so it is as seamless as possible when they receive it.
It is an HP with Windows 7. I have a mac. I would like to remotely access their Windows machine to help them when they need it - to be able to control theirs to show them how to do things and to do it for them if need be.
Thank you for your time

You are only as secure as web browsing to the LogMeIn website is (which appears to use HTTPS). If your login on that site is compromised, they will have a list of your computers that they can attempt to connect to. As long as you don't save the login credentials, they would then also need to know what username and password to use to connect to the computer. Granted, a little social engineering, and they could probably get some good ideas what to try for those, but if you chose to make your computers secure with complex and hard to guess passwords then it should be fine.
I've been using LogMeIn from my Mac to my mom's Windows XP system from July 2009, and to my wife's Thinkpad running Win 7 since Oct 2009. None of the computers involved have had any security issues at all, let alone any caused by LogMeIn. For my wife's PC, it sits behind our NAT Firewall in our LinkSys Router (although I did have it behind a CheckPoint VPN Edge router for a while). My Mom's PC sits behind a Netgear Router providing its NAT Firewall. When my Mac isn't at home, it's generally behind that CheckPoint VPN router at my office now. It all works nicely from behind one router to behind another. The Piece that you install on the PC will log it into the LogMeIN website and that is how it gets through the router to the PC. You login to the website, select the PC to control, then login to that PC.

How to access Integrated camera from Windows 7 - ThinkPad X301?

Could someone please tell me how to start the integrated camera after installing the driver in Windows 7? I could see the device driver from Device Manager stated that it is properly installed and working fine but I had gone all the program interface to see where to start it proves to no avail. It is unlike Windows XP where it can be accessed from Accessories.

How to access group policy in windows 8 home premium, not 8.1 to disable snipping tool

how do I access group policy to disable the snipping tool in windows 8 home premium? client has not installed update 8.1. client is trying to save pictures to pictures album, but it also saves a screenshot to the documents folder as well regardless
of what save method is used.
thanks.

You can disable the Snipping Tool by creating the below registry setting
(save as a .REG file)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC]
"DisableSnippingTool"=dword:00000001
ref: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/Default.aspx?PolicyID=2426
I am not aware of any Snipping Tool feature which automatically saves the snip, as a file.
(there are other utilities available which can perform similar functions)

How to access ZFS share from Windows 7?

I am new to UNIX and am having a hard time to get a ZFS share to access from windows 7 on my home network.
I was able to access both WHS 2011 and QNAP 459 share on SE 11 by using the file manager - Server - windows & then just using the IP address, username, password. That was easy or at least similar to what I was used with windows 7.
However, I have yet to be able to access a ZFS pool containing a share that I can access from another windows 7 machine at home.
Apparently, I can mount the share from windows but the login name/password do not get accepted when I add a network connection in windows. Windows does seem to find the path \\solaris\tank_share1 and even mounts it, but the login for SE 11 does not work for some reason.
I changes the workgroup name to WORKGROUP in windows but that did not change anything. I tried to edit the pam.conf file by changing the ownership from root to myself so I could use gedit since it has been 15 years since I last used vi. However, that corrupted the setup as I got "system error" message on reboot that never got out of that infinite loop.
I am basically using the instruction through the following link:
http://blogs.oracle.com/observatory/entry/accessing_opensolaris_shares_from_windows
Any help to get this problem resolved is much appreciated
Thanks,
Kurt

The documented procedure of having to edit the pam_conf file seems to work followed by resetting one's password seems to work after all. I believe, by taking away ownership from root to "admin user" screwed things up. I had to relearn how to use vi but that didn't take very long.
Got about 50 MB/s speed coping from Windows SSD to SE11 SSD via very small (5 GB) RAIDZ array in VMWare (running on top of WIN 7-64). I have to try native SE11 SSD next as the VMWare setup is just for practice.
Q: Is there a way to launch gedit from the terminal window in root mode so I wouldn't have to use vi?

How to access using VNC from Windows XP to Mac G5 (OsX 10.4)

Hi, I read all the technical documentation about the compatibility to open from a Mac Machine a Windows Server using the VNC.
My problem is different. I have a Mac Server, and I want to see it using my Windows Laptop.
Do you think is it possible? What is the software I can use to obtain the full control how the Apple Remote Desktop?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Salvatore

"Do you think is it possible?"
Yes
"What is the software I can use to obtain the full control"
Turn on VNC access in the Remote Desktop section of the Sharing System Preferences, then use any Windows VNC client.

I recently bought a e4200 v2 and installed connect cloud. I have attached a USB drive to the router. I can connect to it by mapping a network drive on my windows 7 laptop. I can also access it as a media server through my iPad on the local wifi network. This way I can play the music on the USB drive through the iPad. The next thing I would like to accomplish is to be able to listen to the music on the USB drive through the internet (so remotely). Is that even possible?
Regards and thanks,
Steven

Hi there. That is actually possible. When you open your CCC go to USB Storage and set Enable FTP Server to ON. It is important as well to have a public internet ip address on the router which means coming from your internet service provider. For other cases, it is static so that it will not change. Are you by the way on Cable internet or DSL internet service? If you are example on DSL internet and your internet ip address from your ISP is private (192.168.1.4) then remotely accessing anything from your router is not possible you have to set the dsl modem to full bridge in order for it to work. To verify your internet ip address using CCC, go to Connectivity on the side panel and it comes up with a page and click on Internet Settings up on top. And say you wish to access the music files on your windows 7 laptop remotely, you have to set a static ip address to that computer and forward port 21 (default for ftp) on the router. Usually the address that you will type in on the address bar on your remote device is ftp://publicwanip. By the way, you may refer to the links below I found from Cisco's public kb site.

Accessing USB device in Windows 10 Tech Preview under Hyper-v

I am using Windows 10 Technical Preview in a VM created with Hyper-V on a Windows 8.1 machine, and accessing the VM with Remote Desktop Connection. In RDC, I have set the local resources to include ports and "other PnP devices," but I still
cannot see my USB Microsoft LifeCam. The camera works fine on the host, but in Windows 10 I get a message that says, "To get started, connect a camera."
What setting do I need to change in order to access this device in the VM?
Thanks!
MW

Hi,
Since USB drive could be work properly, VM and RDP settings should be ok. For this problem, it is probably a driver compatibility problem, it would be better to contact LifeCam support to confirm the problem:

Linksys E4200: How to access USB hard drive remotely from Android phone or computer

Hello.
I just purchased a Linksys e4200 router today along with a WD 2TB MyBook hard drive. My intent is to set these two up together so that i can share files on the hard drive with:
Computers on my home network ( 1 Windows 7 desktop wired, 1 windows 7 laptop wifi, 1 XP netbook wifi)
Computers remotely over the internet
Smartphones (Android and Apple) on my home network
Smartphones (Android and Apple) remotely over the internet
My questions are:
Can all of this be done with the E4200?
Has anyone in the communiyt forums set-up remote access for fileshare with smartphones?
What is the easiest way to set-up and configure this?
Does anyone have experience using the WD MyBook Essential (WDBACW002OHBK)? Does it work well with the E4200?
Thank you in advance for all responses and help.

Hi,
Major concern in your case now, seems like is all about accessing the data from that Shared Hard Drive remotely over the internet....
For that very reason, we can use either of the two ways to access the shared Hard Drive or Network Hard Drive remotely....However, for both the ways, we need to have a public IP address coming in from the modem...(192.168.X.X....172.16.X.X....10.X.X.X...are examples for Private IP, rest all are public IP's)
One of the ways to get this done is through the WAN IP that you are getting from Modem on your connected Cisco Router's status page....Open the set up page with http://192.168.1.1 , go to Status tab - look out for WAN IP - should be a public IP address not a private one....,then so as to access it, you have type in http://wanip:sharename....
Other way round to do the same is via getting the WAN IP converted to the domain name, this is done via dynamic domain naming system (refer to http://TZO.org) in which we converts our WAN IP into a domain name, which will continue to update the ever changing public IP address (WAN IP) on the daily basis....then so as to access it, you have type in http://domainname:sharename.....

How to access TC from a Windows 7 PC off my home network?

Can someone please tell me how to gain access to my personal home networked TC from my work provided Win 7 PC? I do not take my Mac into the office so can I get to crucial data stored on my TC from work? FTP client perhaps? Map a drive via IP address? IP address in IE?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

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.
