I can see my Maxtor drive, but it's not showing up on My Network- help!!

Hi there- Just installed my shiny, new WRT 610-N and have hit what appears to be a common problem.
BTW- I've searched the boards for a solution, so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere and I just missed it....here's the story:
I can't access my external storage drive, that's plugged into the Cisco router. I can see it's obviously wired up properly, as it appears on Network Magic, but not on 'My Computer'.
I've tried to MAP the drive, as directed, but several XP components seem to be missing.
Also no problems LOGGING IN to the router- and under the 'Storage' tab, my Maxtor One-Touch II appears, clear as day, formatted to NTFS (but appearing as 'FAT' under the 'File System" column)
Confirmed the following settings:
-I'm running Windows XP, and like others here I'm not showing the 'Network Tasks' bar within 'Network Connections'.
Further, for the command string Explorer>Tools>Map Network Drive, I'm NOT getting the option to map the drive!!! ARRGH!
-I have checked the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer, and NoNetConnectDisconnect is enabled (1).
-The workgroup name under the routers 'administration' tab and my computer name are also matching, so no conflict there.
-I've assigned network access to another storage drive that's attached DIRECTLY to my cpu tower, and no problems exist with it.
-I'm running as the admin under XP with S/P 3 installed.
This would seem to be a registry issue but I can't solve it with the solutions posted elsewhere...anyone else finding issues with mapping external drives??
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

First take the back of data you have on the hard drive then if you are able to see the hdd under storage tab then try to format the drive using the router utility. Now check if you can map the drive.

TS1702 I lost the Icons from my 4s 6.1.2 IOS I can see them in Itunes but they will not restore to the Phone

I lost the Icons from my 4s 6.1.2 IOS I can see them in Itunes but they will not restore to the Phone

What icons are you talking about?
Are you talking about apps that you've downloaded? if so just sync them back to your phone using iTunes.

You need to sync your phone with iTunes on your PC. Read this article

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to unsync the music and then try syncing the songs to the iPod
- Last would be to restore from backup.

I can see the shared library, but it will not open, need help

Books from the iTunes Store are intended to be read using the iBooks app on an iOS device.

IPhoto is not showing photos that i have saved on an external drive. I can see tht the photos are on the drive, but iPhoto is not showing them. Help!!

Iphoto is not showing the photos that I know are stored on the external drive. I can see that there is 45 Gig of photos stored on the drive as they appear in finder when looked for, but I cannot see them in iPhoto.
I have used the external drive as the default location for my iPhoto library and not had this problem before.
I had a message earlier about generating thumbnails. I also had iMovie running this morning. This is when the problem began.
Have tried restarting computer and all the obvious things.
Also tried rebuilding the library.
Please help!

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Can see Audiobooks in iTunes but they are not on the iPod

Things were fine but then I tried to download a few songs from Freegal and everything got wiped out--music and audiobooks. I can see them when I plug the iPod into the computer under my iPod file but it won't let me drag and drop the chapters into the ipod. What's my solution to get those audiobooks, at least, back into the iPod. They are OverDrive books by the way and they have already expired in OverDrive.

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
Windows confuses iPod with network drive.

TS3274 After few minutes of charging my ipad 2 it's coming on and i can see the Apple logo but it's not going passed that and the battery is not getting charged

Need help with my Ipad 2, after few minutes of charging the ipad comes on, i can see the apple logo and stops there and the battery doesn't get full charge

Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If the iPad will still not turn on completely, then you should probably restore the iOS software.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

When viewing the Contact Certificates, I can see the Import option, but I do not see the option to actually save the Certificate from the original email.

The title pretty much explains it. In Outlook 2013 when I add a new contact, their certificate is not getting added to their contact page. When I look at the contact certificates section, it is blank with only import as an option.
I have been able to export a cert from the email and then import it to the contact but it says "Persona not validated"
Thanks for any insight you may have.

Yes, this is the behavior when you didn't import any Locate Certificate into Outlook contact item. How you export the cert from email? A bit more exact steps how you got to this point would be helpful.

Installed hard drive but it's not showing up

Hello,
I just installed this drive:
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822144016
But when I start up the computer, I don't see the drive in Disk Utility or in About This Mac.
I've installed and re-installed 3 times. The wires attach snugly. Anyone have any ideas?

Huzzah! Problem solved.
When I pulled the little cables out to connect to the drive, I must have pulled too hard and pulled them out of their slots. I re-attached and everything was fine.
Hope that helps someone else in the future

I have some movies I used redempetion codes for in iTunes on my computer hard drive, but they are not showing up on my Purchased list nor in the Cloud. I am concerned if something should happen to my computer that the movies will be lost.

Like the topic says, in the past year, I have used redemption codes on blu-rays I have purchased in iTunes and downloaded copies of the movies to my desktop. The problem is I am not seeing them in the Cloud if I want to watch them on my iPad or Apple TV. It also worries me that should my computer crash, the movies are lost since the codes are already redeemed. Advice?

I can only answer your first issue. In your ipad go to settings, iTunes & App Store, click on your Apple ID and sign out. Wait a few minutes and then log back in. The hidden apps shouldn't show any more on your ipad.

Hi . i just purchase my new matchbook air and my last macbook air backup was save in time machine. Now i want to backup from time machine but this is not showing in backup machine plzz help me out to backup from uncompleted backup ?

plz help me out

TimeMachine 'knows' that this is a new computer so you have to open up the TimeMachine control panel and tell it what hard drive to use for backing up. Also the first backup will be a complete backup because it is a different computer.

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

IMac Finder cannot see external hard drive but Disk Utility can

I have a WD external hard drive and it has been attached to my iMac for a year or two. About two months ago I upgraded to Lion 10.7.5 and hard drive still worked. Then suddenly about a week ago the iMac no longer sees the external hard drive in Finder.
I have connected the hard drive to the iMac with different USB cables and into different ports and it makes no difference so deduce there is no issues with the cables or the ports. I have connected the hard drive to an old Macbook and it can see the harddrive and read some of the info but I really need the hard drive attached to the iMac as I store all my music and photos on the external hard drive.
I read another thread and someone asked if you can see the hard drive in Disk Utility. I tried this and Disk Utility can see the hard drive.
What does this mean? Any suggestions as to how to get the iMac to see the hard drive so I can access the data on it?
I dont really know how Disk Utility works therefore if that is any help to me.
thanks

Open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar click Finder > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make sure: External disks is selected.
