I can't see my shared external HDD from my Macbook

I have a Mac Pro on 10.5.8 that has an External HDD connected to it. It mounts and works properly.
I went to 'System Preferences/Sharing/File Sharing' and shared many internal drives as well as the external HDD. Users for the shares are: My local user name, and also everyone with R&R access granted, and in options I tried with AFP and SMB selected.
Now from my Macbook Pro on 10.6.6 I can see my MacPro. When I click on it I can see all the local drives shared on my MacPro, but not the external HDD.
I also tried 'connect to server' with afp://localipaddress/ExternalHDD but I am asked for the user/passw. There I enter the local user/passw for the MacPro where I have the shares and I get "There was an error connecting to the server 192.168.1.8. Check the server name or IP address and then try again"
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you!

Me too. I have a Mac mini running 10.6.7 with an external USB drive. I have set it up to share the drive, but in System Preferences, the access column is grayed out for all users. In Finder, if I click on the drive, it shows up with the Shared Folder designation. But the drive does not show up when I connect to the Mac mini from my MacBook (also 10.6.7). Other shared folders do show up.

  • Migration assistant can't see TM on external HDD

    Tonight I got a new iMac. I'm trying to restore via the external HDD from my last TM backup using the Migration Assistant.
    My previous iMac was fully updated to the current edition of Lion.
    (Side note: after repeated failures of the power supply over the past 18 months, the Apple Store gave me this new machine instead of repairing my 2008 iMac again [for free again]).
    Migration Assistant does not see my external HDD though it's visible on the desktop now, and accessible.
    How do you force Lion to see this HDD and migrate from it?
    I'd like to restore my system to be completely as it was before without a tedious folder-by-folder migration effort.

    Tonight I found most of the solution I needed:
    -Create a new administrator account on your machine.
    -Run the Migration Assistant.
    -It should identify your previous hard drive's name, and that's what you migrate from to your new account.
    -If your new account and your old account (the one on your old machine), have the same name, you cannot migrate to an account with the same name. You should get a prompt to change the account name in the three options that are given.
    -I gave the account being migrated TO a new name, and in about 30 minutes everything came over.
    The remaining problem is that some of my items did not make it and I cannot find those folders in my Time Machine.
    Also, iTunes is looking like it needs to be rebuilt for the most part. I have an iTunes Match account. That auto-imported all of my playlists but my movies have to be re-imported into iTunes for it to recognize them again.
    Oh yea...my backup of the iTunes library list is nowhere to be found. I think it's in and among those items that are yet to be found.

  • Can't see files on external hdd

    Hi all I am a noob to MAC so here goes.
    I am running ML OS 10.8.4 Server. I was MOVING music from my internal hdd to my external hdd and the battery died in the middle of the move.  I am able to see the files that were moved on my windows machine but the folder is grayed out on my mac. It can read that data is in the folder but wont allow me to open it.  The good news is even though I did a move the files are stil on my internal hdd. I could easily delete the folder and re do it again but I am talking over 400gig of music so far and it was taking hours to move.
    Why can't I access the folder and its there but I can access it via windows,  Any suggestion.
    Thanks
    QS

    Oh boy. Excuse me for my mistake. Yes I am in the wrong place. I have my 250Gig Westernal digital hard drive connected to my macbook pro.
    Yeah it's weird. But as I said, Fileziller seems to see it and I have a test site running on one host's server that is fine. When I went FTP the files (they are drupal). Everything comes over except my one folder where all my images are.
    So do you want me to post this in the leopard forum?

  • Seeing PC connected external HDD on a MacBook

    Hi
    I am about to buy a MacBook and I currently use a Dell PC. All of my music and movies are stored on a couple of external drives (1 Maxstor 320GB and 1 Lacie 500GB).
    If I connect the PC and MacBook together via ethernet and share the drives on the PC - too which they are primarily connected will I be able to see their content on the MacBook.
    Basically, how do access PC drives from my MacBook?
    Thanks

    With Leopard or Tiger it's easy to do. If your getting the latest MacBook it will come with Leopard. Check below for some tips on doing this.

  • TS3899 How can I see again the emails sent from my MacBook Pro on my iPhone 4?

    Hi. I have a iPhone 4 connected to a Yahoo email account. I used to be able to see the emails sent from the device on the sent mailbox and the emails sent from the MacBook Pro on an automatically created folder called "Sent Messages" that disappeared. I tried deleting the account and creating it again, both on the computer and on the iPhone, but the problem persists. Any idea on how I can solve this problem?

    On your Mac
    in your Mail App, open the folders on the left hand side, by clicking SHOW on top.
    GO down, where your email acount is and unfold.
    Select the SENT folder. If you cant find it, it means it's already used as your SENT folder. Skip next step.
    In Mail App Menu select MAILBOX -> USE THIS MAILBOX FOR -> SENT
    Maybe that does the trick?

    when using time capsule on a PC based network, how does it appeare on the network ? like a normal shared external HDD ??? or what ?

    Yes, it will show you the main directory.. so if you link in windows explorer it will be..
    \\TCname\data
    Or \\TCipaddress\data
    Data can be whatever name the main (root) directory of the TC is called.

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

  • Changed my Virgin to Sky, now I can't see my Shared Drive. Why?

    Hello
    Got a Seagate Central as my shared wireless drive.
    Worked fine until we got rid of Virgin and replaced with Sky.
    Now I can't see the Shared Drive wirelessly. Only works when I connect via Ethernet.
    What am I doing wrong please?

    You will have to talk to the Sky technical people about this.  As you are replacing a previous system (in effect) they should be able to confirm their way of meeting your needs.

  • After iTunes 10.3.1, my Apple TV 1st gen. can't see any shared iTunes libraries!

    Ok, everything was working fine until iTunes 10.3 came into the scene. Post 10.3 / 10.3.1, my Apple TV 1st gen can't see any shared iTunes libraries...

    Hello everyone
    I have fixed it! The problem was that Apple TV had tried to connect to the computer so many times the Virus Barrier X6 had decided it was a malicious attack and blocked the IP address.
    I fixed the connection by adding the IP address to a trusted list within the FireWall rules.
    To do the same follow these instructions
    Go to Virus Barrier X6.
    Click the 'Anti-Vandal' Tab at the top of the screen.
    Click 'Blocked Addresses'. Select the IP of Apple TV (you can find this IP address through your router software). Click the '-' sign at the bottom of the left hand column. If the Apple TV IP address isn't listed then you have a different problem!
    Click 'Trusted Addresses'. Click the '+' sign at the bottom of the left hand column. Add the IP address of Apple TV in the pop up box, select 'permanent', add any notes you want to and then click 'OK'.
    Turn on Apple TV and it should all be working fine (assuming that your 'Home Sharing' setting are all on and you are connected the the network!).
    Hope that helps

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

  • How can i see txt or numbers txt from phone that is on my plan

    how can i see or print out txt from a phone on my plan ..either the txt or number that was txt

    The text content is not available via your on-line MyVerizon account; you might could get the past 3-5 days' worth of texts from Verizon, but it would require a court order.
    You can print out texts by backing them up via a third-party app and forwarding the backup to your e-mail, or by forwarding individual texts to your e-mail.
    You can view the text logs for all lines on your account (assuming you are the Account Owner and logged in as such).  Log into your on-line MyVerizon account and click the blue Usage Details under My Usage.  Scroll down to Messaging and click the blue View Messaging Details.  Use the drop-down to choose th appropriate line.

    I can open NEF files in Camera Raw but Im not seeing tumbs in finder !
    Also I cant see them in preview too.

    Well, I don't know what the problem actually is in the first place, it should work as is, I think something is messed up with the present driver and replacing it would perhaps get around that problem.
    It seems like I'd be adding one more layer of complexity to the Vista machine...
    Not sure how the Vista machine is involved in this, since these are drivers for the Mac.
    Though to involve the Vista Machine, One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for you PCs... allows them to Read/Write HFS+...
