I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.
You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.

Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

Newb question: How do I access the files on my usb disk?
I'm new to Mac, and have my airport extreme set up with my usb disk conntected, and set for file sharing. But how to I access the files that I already had backed up to my disk? Like pictures and videos and stuff that I want to use on my new Mac. I know it has to be something simple I'm just not doing, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

in finder, click on the icon of the airdisk under the shared header, wait for the connection to be established (you may need to enter your admin password), then click on the folder representing the external drive connected to your extreme.
that should cause the drive to mount on your desktop after which you can access the files on the drive.

My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document...
Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files. -
HT204057 I have the latest airport extreme. can not access the files.
I have previously time machine backups for two macbook pros on same drive.
However, I connect the drive to the airport extreme and although I see the drives and the backups, I can not access the files over Airport Extreme.
What am I doing wrong?You can't access a Time Machine backup that way. Connect the drive directly, hold down the option key, and select Browse Other Backup Disks from the Time Machine menu.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.
Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

I have purchased Adobe XI Pro and created a form for entering bowling scores to submit to newspaper for my high school team. I can not figure out how to get pdf's into my documents folder on my iPad so that I can access the files in bowling alleys where I do not have a Wi-Fi connections. I need to be able access files without going to acrobat.com. Help!!!@
Post the PDF files to a web site. The browse to them in Safari on the iPad. When you Open the files specify the Open to occur in Adobe Reader. Then you can have/Save them in your Documents folder on the iPad. An iPad has limited access to files otherwise.

How to attach a PDF file TO the form so that recipients can access the file as a resource?
How to attach a PDF file TO the form so that recipients can access the file as a resource?
Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

My Ipod-touch was ios5 when I bought. You recommend to upgrade ios6, because set-up icon always shows me "+". For that on facebook I can't see wall photos. So I want my ipod touch to be back as initial version ios5. How can I do? please tell me.
Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to. -
How can we access the file/directory system in the server
Hi friends,
I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
directories in the server.
My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.
manuYou can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

How can I access the files on my time capsule?
I bought this thinking it could be used as additional storage, like a hard drive only wirelessly. It appears to be functioning as backup but I don't know how to access the files to see if it actually is. Any advice? When I click on time machine in the finder it just takes me to a folder that says Data with no entry for date modified. Yet elsewhere it tells me it has been backing up every half hour or so. Whats the deal?
You do not access the backup file store directly.. you access it via Time Machine.. the files are not stored in a way you would directly access anyway.. all files are stored as a backup in a very complex structure.
Read Q14-17 on how to use restore to get files out of the TM backup.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
If you want to access files on the TC, copy them directly to the TC .. don't use backups as a method of access to other devices. -
If i create a partition for Windows 7, and boot up in Windows using Boot Camp, can I still access the files from the Mac partition (Photo's Music etc.)
JDFitch wrote:
Ok Great,
Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.
Jon
No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)
