I can't Access my External Harddrive.. Please Help

OS = Vista on a PC
I have a WD External Harddrive, that I Can't access. It is a plug in Harddrive (self Powered)
If i open "Airport Utility" on the left side it will show the unit. I double click on it. It brings up a secondary window that allows me to select
Airport
Internet
Printers
Disks
Advanced
I select Disks, and it shows the harddrive in the list. However....
I can't click on the harddrive to access it
Unless I'm doing it wrong (very possible) I can't map a network drive to it.
It's not showing up under the network tab
It's not showing up under "My Computer"
Please help I have called Apple Support and they can't figure this out. Infact they are sending me a new Unit for no reason.

It may be possible that this particular My Book model is not compatible with the AirPorts as an AirPort Disk. (ref: The iFelix unofficial 802.11n Airport Extreme Hard Drive Compatibility List) Have you contacted WD support to see if they have a newer driver or specifically call out that they are compatible? I did a quick Google-search on the terms: "AirPort My Book" and found dozens of references where folks were having hit/miss success with the My Books.

    If it's reached the point where you can't try re-entering the code then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • I can't access my icloud account , please help

    I can't access my icloud Account, please help .

    How are you trying to access it? You can't access the iCloud website on Safari on an iPad, you have to sign in in Settings>iCloud and access the data through the relevant apps.
    Have you successfully set up an iCloud account? Can you log in at http://icloud.com on a computer? What operating system are you running on your iPad?
    Do you get an error message when you try to access it?
    You really need to post more data with a question like this, just 'I can't access' doesn't really allow for any sort of answer.

  • Can I access my external harddrive if I connect it to my Airport via USB?

    I have a basic router providing a wireless network and access to the internet (given by my internet provider). And then I recently bought an Airport adaptor and connected my stereo, and now I'm playing music wirelessly.
    My question is then, will I be able to access my external harddrive if I connect it to my Airport via USB?
    It's an Airport Express Base Station (the one with only jack, usb and ethernet)
    Thanks

    Sorry but the USB port on the AirPort Express (AX) does not support USB hard drives.

  • HT5312 No matter how many times I reset my password, I still can't access my account. PLEASE HELP. :(

    I had to make this new Apple ID because I can't access my old one.
    I forgot my password to my original Apple ID so I followed all the instructions on iforgot.apple.com
    After I got the email confirmation saying that my password was successfully reset, I tried out my new password but it kept saying 'Your AppleID or password was entered incorrectly.'
    I did this numerous times before. I even tried to get help from Apple Support through email but no matter what I did, it was useless. Please, anybody, help, I'd still like to use my old Apple ID. Thanks.

    I seen this many times, and in just about all cases, it's the user resetting a different AppleID than what's being used for the iTunes account.

  • Create a user that can only access to one schema - please help!!

    Hi all,
    I want to create one user in a Oracle DB that can only access to one schema. I did the following:
    CREATE USER "TEST" PROFILE "DEFAULT"
    IDENTIFIED BY "test" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USERS"
    TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP"
    ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
    GRANT SELECT ON "TESTDTA"."F0007" TO "TEST"
    GRANT "CONNECT" TO "TEST";
    I have done a test and the user TEST can access all schemas, when I only gave explicit permissions to the schema TESTDTA.
    Any suggestion/clarification???
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Can't Access iTunes Music Store, Please Help

    When I open my itunes and click on the music store, I can not access it. It says, "Could not complete the music store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
    My internet connection is fine, so I don't know what is going on. My firewall is set to accept itunes requests. This has been going on for a few days now, I'm clueless on what's going on. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I'd start off by going to the "Advanced" menu and selecting "Run Diagnostics...", then choosing to test for network settings to the iTunes Store. It should tell you if a firewall really is blocking you from accessing the store or if something is going on, I would think.

  • Installing Mavericks As A Bootable External Harddrive Please Help!

    Hi sorry to bother you, I'm having difficulty installing Mavericks as a bootable external harddrive. I've downloaded Mavericks off the App Store (which taken 4 hours) and have tried using the createinstallmedia method but I'm having no joy
    I've been following a Youtube tutorial and everytime I run the below command through terminal when I get to the part where its "Making disk bootable…" I get this message - Couldn't mount dmg /volumes/install os x mavericks/install os x mavericks.app/contents/sharedsupport/installesd.dmg (error code 5)mount of outer dmg failed.
    I have no idea what this means I'v tried googling it and there isn't much on the subject apart from one forum where one guy had to re download Mavericks again which I've done already and still get the same error message. If anyone knows where I am going wrong it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks "clintonfrombirmingham" for the quick reply! Yea I think I am going to have to use either the Disk Utility method or like what you suggested the DiskMaker option. I was just interested in the reason as to why it wasn't working for me using the bootable USB installation disk method.

  • Can't access blackberry app world- please help

    Hi Blackberry users, 
    I've just received my blackberry bold 9900 on ebay. Everything seems to be working fine.
    However, I can't seem to open the app world?
    I haven't put a simcard in yet, however, I am using my home Wi-Fi connection. 
    When I try to enter it, it says: 'You do not have sufficient wireless coverage or your connection to the wireless network is turned off'
    Can you please tell me how I can solve this? My internet connection is perfectly fine. I can use youtube and web browser on my blackberry as well. I also tried to access blackberry app world in my browser but when I came to downloading the app from the web browser, it asked me to turn on cookies, which I checked was already on. 
    Thanks guys

    You have to have a BlackBerry data plan attached to your account in order to access this.  You'll have to give your carrier a ring so you can get it setup.

  • I need an external harddrive, please help.

    Hi!
    I am shooting a documentary in the USA and need to buy an ext harddrive to use with my Macbook Air.  I need a solution and I am confused by the options. I know I do not have firewire but I do have USB2.0. Is that just as good? What about Thunderbolt?
    I would also like it to be powered by the laptop so I can avert any problems with powering it in Germany, where I live.
    I will need it for 10 hours of uncompressed HD footage.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Kindly!

    For storing raw footage and viewing it I agree with captfred that USB will be more than sufficient. When it comes time to edit you'd notice the difference between USB and other options. I don't work with video in huge quantities the way you do/will but I prefer working with FW800 or having the video on an internal drive when I edit. But I do disagree with the recommendation of WD because the company uses a proprietary chipset and has very poor customer support. I prefer OWC drives and I've been pleased with the two iomega portable drives I've bought.
