HT1331 Why does this article still not indicate that Airport Disk Utility no longer exists?

ADU stopped existing after 10.6. I see this article was updated in May; that means two revisions of OSX which don't contain this utility have been announced or released at that time yet it's still wrong. It's near the top of google rankings, making this a crappy thing to do to your users who are looking for information, Apple.

Yes, you are correct - there is no longer a Airport Disk Utility. It was discontinued. That article was accurate up until 10.7 was introduced.
You cannot call "from the main window of AirPort Disk Utility enable "Show AirPort Disks in the menu bar"" a 'typo' - it is flat-out wrong, as that menu option no longer exists at all. So the instructions can not be applicable.
This could be corrected simply by adding "10.6 and earlier OSX versions" or the like to the products affected list. But leaving this entirely unusable set of unstructions up as it stands is misleading and counter-productive.

  • HT1331 "AirPort Disk Utility" no longer exists in 10.7 Lion (and possibly hasn't existed since 10.5).

    I think this article is misleading, it seems that "AirPort Disk Utility" no longer exists in 10.7 Lion (and possibly hasn't existed since 10.5).

    Good luck, I've treid with this one:

    Notice how outdated it still is. Not only that, but how it's got wrong info, like 1st Gen Express Model #.

  • Why does SMS tell me "not allowed" when I try to add an existing contact to one of my SMS Groups?

    Why does SMS tell me "not allowed" when I try to add an existing contact? 

    If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
    You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
    (My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

  • HD not showing in Airport Disk Utility

    Everything is working great except the connected Seagate HD. It is not showing up in the Airport Disk Utility. It HD is showing up on the network and can be accessed. The only thing that show in the list is the AEBS. I cannot save MS Excel or Word when try to "save as" to the disk. I can copy and paste to the disk without any problem. I have not tried to move anything else to this disk until I can figure out this issue. I have installed all the updates from the CD and have all my Mac running the most current updates also. I also reformatted the HD from Extended Journaled to Extend to see that was the problem but that did not help. Anyone if an idea?

    Make sure that the USB cable is really making contact with the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). Some have reported that some cables don't fit well into the AEBS's USB port.
    You may want to try another USB cable.

  • Why does this server still EXIST ON MY NETWORK!

    I've had these supposid servers on my network for like months now, I'm concerned people on my network can go through my computer. I turned off everything on the server app, and even deleted Mac Lion Server, and this is STILL HERE. How do I remove this from my network!
    Please HELP!

    Hi
    Apart from what's already been suggested:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190174?start=15&tstart=0
    I would pay attention to Gerrit de Witt's post. There are other threads in this forum that discuss this 'problem' which you can search for yourself.
    Apple's 'official' way is here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4827?locale=en_US
    But as threads in this forum have pointed out, it does not disable everything. I'm guessing it does work if you get the option to configure the Server at the Welcome Screen and bypass it at that point. However once you go beyond the Welcome Screen additional components are indeed downloaded which are not part of the Server app alone.
    I suppose the only 'sure' way (as Gerrit mentions) is to backup and reinstall. This may involve a reformat?
    HTH?

  • Why does Firefox sometimes still tell me that I have cache to clear in the Advanced tab of the Options menu after I completely clear it using Clear Recent History?

    I always have the time range in the Clear Recent History window set to "Everything", too.

    While I didn't know about the about:cache page, it doesn't help me understand why Firefox is doing this, and how to fix it. Also, as I said in my question, I already knew about the cache information in the Advanced tab of the Options menu. I was trying to imply that I sometimes have to clear it using both the Clear Recent History feature and in the Advanced tab of the Options menu, because using Clear Recent History doesn't delete it all.

    Hey Rolf. I used the commands like you said but it will not translate anything unless the entry is static.
    ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.2 72.186.*.72      is what im using to get my main node translated while i figure out this problem. The configuration worked fine until I upgraded IOS from 12.3 to 12.4.  Thats when it quit translating. My config follows. Keep in ming that when i tried your commands I removed the static entry for 192.168.1.2

  • Text messages and imessages marked as delivered yet not received since last update. I cannot make sense of the troubleshooting page, why does this complex machine not just work?.

    I updated my iphone -again, and now my girlfriend (and who knows who else) is not reliably receiving messages. I try sending as iMessage and as SMS and have iMessage checked in my options and send as text message if iMessage doesn't work also checked. It was working fine, I updated, now it's patchy at best and although messages are marked as delivered they aren't and I don't know unless I phone the recipient up. Have tried restarting, resetting and digging through the trouble shooting pages... Apple products used to just work, now my phone is like a puzzle that I have to solve. I'm ditching apple in October when my contract is up but would like to send texts in the meantime, any ideas?

    Awesomez. Thanks apple support community, very helpful indeed. About as helpful as a phone that stops sending texts after the manufacturers update it. No worries though, I got a HTC yesterday, put my sim in and guess what? It works. Close this thread down thanks mods.

  • Why does this email address not work

    Hi
    i have posted the question a couple of times in a different format, but have not received an answer....
    Why wont the ipad email system allow the following format address:
           [email protected]
    It works in outlook, but not on the iPad.
    I get the message invalid address or password.
    I am hoping that someone knows how to make it work...
    Cheers

    I think the format is yourdomain.com.test-google-a.com. Your example is missing the .com part of your domain. So your example should look like [email protected] where mydomain = name.com

  • Why does my MacBook suddenly not register that it has airport card?

    Regularly (about 6 times a day or more) I loose my airport connection on any network (home, in coffee shops, library, at work, etc.). The airport status icon usually goes blank (as if it is off) and will either not turn back on, or says that no airport card is installed. It will not come back on unless I restart/shut down my computer, usually at least a couple times. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

    hmmmm that's an interesting problem. Is your macbook under warranty? It might be a hardware issue so I would take it to an apple store.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • HT1492 Nowhere does this article define what verbose mode is so I know if I want it or not.

    Nowhere does this article define what verbose mode is so I know if I want it or not. I wanted to make this observation a comment about the article, but I don't see a way to do that. The article needs to be revised.

    Thanks, WZZZ and baltwo. Your combined contributions clear it up: Verbose is what I call Terminal mode. (Maybe my term is better, because one needs a Verbose reboot after a Terminal crash ; ^ ) I now know I have had no need to use it on startup.
    My point was as a writer: If I want to explain how someone can get into Verbose mode, I first explain what it is and its value. The article leaves me asking exactly what WZZZ says: Why would I want to use Verbose mode—preceded by: What is it? I'm hoping that Apple will see my topic and fix it, but I'm not holding my breath....
    Even the osxdaily article only hints at the value of Verbose, but that was enough to provide the clarity the original article lacks. I have the Terminal alias on my dock, but I don't think I've used it more than once in four years. I'm no geek, and when those things happen I just march to the Genius Bar, where THEY boot up in Verbose mode. To me it's a testament to the stability of the evolved OS—or more to the fact that I haven't changed how I use my MBP in years or download strange new third-party apps.
    Again, thanks for the help.

    Steve!
    There is a lot more "meat" in this .
    I purchased all out of Denmark. My HD crashed and I reload it all. While doing this I had to install new iTunes, - this is the newest version 10.xx. The old version was probbaly 9.xx (cant remember). So the library files are from an old version, - but it does not look like creating a problem. I am now in Sweden, so iTunes was installed in Sweden, and I try to re-download my missing songs while being here in Sweden. However, - I belive I am connected to iTunes store in Denmark. ... (it takes 2 smileys for this, - if you get as far as to here and still have an overview.)
