I can't see my external hard on my airport extreme

my external hard drive is connected to the airport extreme.  I can see it on my ipad and my iphone.  I can't see it on my macbook.  But I'm unable to access it on any of my devices.
I think I have the external hard drive configured.  But I can't access the hard drive.
Thanks for the support.

Strange if the drive format is Mac extended (journalled).  (see:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c)
Can you can see the external drive in the finder? 
Can you read to and write from it with the finder?
Have you tried Trashing the iMovie preferences file and re-launching?

  • How do I get my computers to see my external hard drive on airport extreme?

    I jus purchased and airport extreme as although he directions say plug and play - it doesn't work.  None of my computers see my external hard drive when it is plugged into the airport.  Cannot locate directions with step by step support.  thank you. Nettie

    The external harddrive is NTFS format and someone from apple told me that it would have to be reformatted to be seen by the Extreme -- Needless to say with 33% of the hard drive filled, I do NOT want to reformat.
    Unfortunately, HDDs attached to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, cannot be recognized by the AirPort if formatted in NTFS. If you do not wish to reformat this drive, you will either have to use a different drive or connect this drive to a Windows PC for sharing on the network.
    The AirPort can only share drives formatted in HFS+ or FAT32.

  • I can't see my external hard drive on the network.

    I can't see my external hard drive on the network. I have a WRT160NL router with USB. I plugged the drive in the USB and set up a share in the router config.

    Did you map the drive? It won't show up in Explorer automatically like a jump drive or an external drive plugged directly into the PC will.
    You didn't mention the OS you're running, but what you want to do is choose "Map a network drive" and you'll see the router listed as a network device. Click on it and you should see the external drive listed. You can map it from there. 

  • Migration Assistant can't see my external hard drive.

    Migration Assistant can't see my external hard drive with my back-up info on it. I need to migrate my user data from an older back-up ( OS X 10.4.11) to a recently installed OS X 10.5.8 system on a Mac Pro.  The external drive is not bootable.  Any ideas?

    Great news, thanks!

  • I can't see my external hard drive connected to my TC

    I can't see my external hard drive connected to my TC, I have connected to the USB port on my TC but cannot see it , any ideas

    Hello Bob,
    I have a powered hub plugged into my Time Capsule.
    Into the powered hub I have a printer; printer works fine.
    Into the powered hub I have an ExFAT formatted disk.
    The ExFAT disk is seen in the AirPort Utility as an "AirPort Disk".
    I cannot see the ExFAT disk in Finder or in Window's "My Computer".
    When I plug the ExFAT drive directly into Mac or Windows computers the drive is seen in Finder and My Computer.
    When the ExFAT drive is plugged directly into Mac or Windows both can read and write files.
    Do you think that I need to format the USB ExFAT drive as FAT 32?
    I have heard mention "need to map the drive". Do you think this would help?
    Thank you for your time.
    Rob

  • Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled)

    Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled).
    Does only certain branch of HDD can be connected to aireport extreme?
    I collect some information and i knew i have to partiion the HDD into Mac OS extended (journaled),
    and i did so. Still the usb HDD cannot be found.
    The other question is, can i partition the HDD into two sections, one of it is Mac OS extended(journaled) while the other is Fat32?
    I want to share Fat32 section with another PC with windows system.
    Thanks a lot if you have any suggestions.

    I had tried to set up the connection via usinb a powered usb hub as the bridge between external HDD and the airport extreme. i still cannot found the HDD in the "airport utilities".
    This is my setting.
    1. Set airport extreme  as "sharing-single-ip" mode. The wireless network functions correctly.
    2. Connect external HDD to MBA. Partition it into single-partition with Mac OS extended (journaled).
    3. The HDD can be found if i plugged it directly to my MBA.
    4. Connect a powered usb hub to airport extreme.
    5. Connect external HDD to the powered usb hub.
    6. Open airport utilities.
         a. Select "airport extreme" in the sidebar.
         b. Change the "Disks" sheet.
    7. Cannot find an external Disk
    Is there any problem here?
    Please help me. Thanks a lot!!

  • Why can I see my external hard drive?

    For 2 years or more I've had an external hrad drive to back up my Imac. One day I got a message that there had not beeb a back up for for a really long time  ( I have it on automatic).
    Ever since, I have not been able to see the external hard drive on mi Imac and have not been able to do regular back ups.
    First I turned off, on, restart computer and tried to see if it showed up on another computer, which it did.
    What could the problem be?  It was working just fine.
    Please help
    Thanks

    EHD's can crash. First thing I'd recommend though is to do 2-3 SMC resets. Shut down the computer, then remove the power cord from both the wall plug and back of the computer, wait 15-20 seconds and restart normally and test.
    If that fails use another cable to connect the drive, if that fails open Disk Utility and see if the EHD can be seen. If that fails then replace the drive. I would STRONGLY recommend 2 backups, use Time Machine on disk 1 and then use a create a clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner on the other drive. When it comes to backing up, redundancy is smart. Would you trust your bank if  they only had one form of backup of all your money??

  • Time Machine can't see my external hard drive

    Time Machine won't show me any backup disk options other than  "Set up Time Capsule".  When I click on that, it searches for AirPort wireless which I do not have installed.  How do I get Time Machine to see my external hard drive connected via Fire Wire?  I went into Disk Utility and it showed the external drive was there.  Backups had been working previously.

    I don't know the answer but I have the same thing happen. I have two external drives I use for backup. Sometimes it can see one and sometimes another. Then sometimes it can't see either one.  I will take one out for a while then plug it back in and then it may see it.  Maybe it's a cable issue or something but I will be curious to hear what someone more knowledgeable says. 

  • Why can't I find my external hard drive on Airport Extreme?

    I have recently moved into a different home and set up the internet through Airport Extreme that works fine.  However, I can not find the external hard drive plugged in to the Airport USB which used to show up in Macintosh HD under Devices. 
    I have unplugged and restarted the Airport, hard drive, and IMac numerous times.  I have reset the Airport back to original settings and created a new network. Not sure what to do next. 

    The drive was hooked in the exact same way 2 days ago at my old address and worked perfectly.
    "The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, so that would be the first thing to check."
    How do I do this?
    "Next, the power at the USB port is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive....even if the hard drive has its own power supply.....so a number of users find that they need to use a powered USB hub."
    I will look in to finding a powered USB hub but I don't understand why it would work 2 days ago and not today...
    "You will need to open the Finder and click on the Go menu, then click Network to see the drive. Double click it to mount is on the desktop."
    Correct, I used to find Airport there under Shared where I could click on Airport to access the hard drive.  I don't see Airport at all.
    "Finally, if you are planning to use the drive for Time Machine backups, that type of setup is not officially supported by Apple, so results will be unpredictable if you try this."
    My hard drive is exclusively music files that I share between Imac and Macbook.

  • Bonjour - Connect Windows 7 to external hard drive on Airport Extreme

    I have to use a laptop with windows 7 for work and I want to back up to a hard drive that is connected to my airport extreme station. I downloaded the bonjour print services and I had the printer set up in a minute. I can't figure out how to connect to the external hard drives that are connected to the airport extreme station though?! Obviously bonjour print services is only helping you with the printer. I couldn't install an earlier version of bonjour for windows because of the bonjour print service installation.
    Any ideas how I can connect to those external hard drives? Thanks!

    Thank you. I probably should have figured that out myself, but this did the trick. I am also connecting a new hard drive to my airport extreme. The mac and pc don't see the drive because of the NTFS format. This hard drive will be used for PC business related files only, but I still want to access it using my wireless network. Paragon is supposed to do the trick. I am just wondering if paragon makes the harddrive useable for both, the pc and the mac.

  • How do I remove an external hard drive from airport extreme using airport utility 6.2

    I want to remove an external drive from my airport extreme but unsure how to do so (apart from just unplugging it). I need to take it away and hopefully plug it back in later. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Unfortunately, AirPort Utility 6.2 does not provide you with the option to "unplug" a drive.
    If the drive is mounted on your desktop, simply drag its icon to the Trash.....or.....right-click the disk icon and choose the Eject option.
    Now you can disconnect the hard drive from the AirPort Extreme.
    If the drive does not appear on the desktop, then you can simply physically unplug the drive.

  • Windows 7 can't see USB disk (WD Passport) on Airport Extreme

    I am needing some help. I just bought an Airport Extreme and everything is working but I can't see my files on the USB external drive from the Airport Extreme. I can see the drive inside of the Airport Utility but not over the network on my laptop.
    My laptop is Windows 7.
    I read somewhere that I may need to reformat my WD Passport but how do I do that in windows 7 and will I lose my files on the drive if I do this?
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me!

    There are a number of posts related to issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
    To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    o From the Vista desktop, click Start
    o Search for: security
    o Click 'Local Security Policy'
    o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    o Click OK
    To disable Windows Search:
    o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    o Press OK, close all windows and restart.
    A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
    On the AEBS, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
    On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • I can not see my external hard drive

    I recently bought a new external hard drive for my pc. I have pictures, music and family videos, however I can see any video or pictures on my iPad using the same he'd.

    I download all pictures and videos that I had in the windows pc  in the new hdd.  I am trying to see and watch  those files on my iPad . I am thinking that since the files are jpeg and mpeg the iPad should read it.
    Am I wrong?
    Yes, you are wrong.
    You need to add the files to iTunes on your computer, then sync the iPad with iTunes.

  • Finder can't see my external hard drive

    Disk Utility can see external hard drive, but finder not.
    Also i cannot mount the external hard drive.
    I tried to repair, i can see how many files are there, it was working normally before.
    Also when on other computer with windows it's working. In windows I can access all the files normally.
    When I bought it first I format this in my mac with fat and then i was using normally long time since now.
    This is from disk utility:
