IMAC cant see WRT600N w/ WD MyBook HD

I have just purcahsed the WRT600N and attached a western digital MyBook to it via USB
All my XP machines have no problem mapping the hard drive nad using it but my iMAC when using the smb://<IP ADDRESS> to connect to it fails after entering the password.  I thikn it might have something to do with Linksys only accepting plain text passwords instead of encrypted ones - but that is a guess. 
Any one know what I am doing wrong or how I can get my iMAC to use the "networked" drive?

Yeah.  With my XP machines I have full access to the Ext HD.  No problems there.

  • My iMac cant see my airport express?

    Hi, I have just moved into my new place and tried to setup my iMac and apple TV. My appleTV can see my airport express but my iMac cant.  My iMac can see other wifi networks but the utility cant see it.  I have reset my airport express and I have the internet plugged directly into it.  Can anyone help?

    Hi
    When you say you reset the Express... which method did you use?
    I would try a factory default reset, if you haven't already. If that doesn't work, then you could have an issue with your iMac
    Good Luck

  • I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID.

    I have moved everything from my macbook pro onto my iMac. For some reason I cant see any of my music in iTunes even though I have logged in with my normal apple ID. Please help me before I kill something!!

    How did you go about transferring your library onto the iMac? There are specific instructions one must follow to do this correctly without causing loss of data. Simply signing in via your Apple ID won't do much of anything unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber.
    Did you just copy the entire iTunes folder over? If so, Quit iTunes then hold down option and click the iTunes icon in the Dock. Don't release option until the popup appears asking if you want to create a new library. Simply navigate to the library in the folder you copied over.
    If you didn't go about transferring your library in that way, and you still have the MacBook Pro, follow these instructions to transfer your library properly to avoid data loss.
    Hope that helps!

  • USB drive connected to airport i cant see it??

    Hello all, i have an airport extreme. network is all setup fine. I have a USB drive connected to the airport setup for timemachine backups. What i would do is turn it on every week for the day and all my mac would backup to it. Last night i turn it on for my backups and none of my macs seems to be able to find it. Well today right out of the blue the imac suddenly sees it and runs a backup. But i cant see it with the macbook pro. I double checked the setting on the airport and dont see anything out of place. I can however see the drive in finder but when i click on it system tells me it cant connect. Any suggestions?

    it's not new. this information has been available for some time.
    Now this worked perfectly
    it did (and does) so for many users. it just means is that, if you run into problems (as you do now), there will be no support from Apple.
    I now have to physically connect my usb drive to each of my computers to have them back up?
    no. you'd connect the drive to one machine and let the other Macs back up to it via your network.
    printer i suppose ?
    yes. and HD's for sharing files across your network - just not for TM backups !

  • Migration Assistant cant see other computer

    I am trying to migrate some data from my Imac to my MacBook, but cant make the two machines connect.
    They are failing to connect by WifI
    My Macbook - when I click the "From a Mac, Time Machine backup etc" button can find my Imac.
    My Imac - when I click the "To another Mac" button can't see my MacBook.
    To check if there is a hardware fault, I have tried swapping things over - so that the MacBook is labelled as the machine where the data will be transfered from and the Imac is the destination.   In this case the Imac can see the MacBook, but the MacBook can't see the Imac.
    Confused!
    I have done a google search, and tried some of the tips like switching off firewalls.  Hasn't worked.
    Both machines have Maverick.  Both machines are on the same network.  The Macbook is sat right night to the Imac.
    Suggestions?

    I see this issue frequently. There does't appear to be a solution and I don't know if Apple is addressing it.
    I would just forget about Wifi and use a hardwire solution.(ethernet , firewire/thunderbolt).

  • Cant "see" external ADSL modem [D-link model DSL-500B]

    Hi guys!
    Im here in poor Brazil, and I just bought a new DSL-500B external ADSL modem, and I can make this machine turn to router, to stop login every time I turn on the computer.
    The manual says that the IP is 192.168.254.254, but Firefox and Safari cant "see"... I ping, and cant find... I tracerout to a google site and the modem dont appear, its invisible!
    Im properly conected on web... But I have this little problem...
    I dont know what to do...
    Please good people, help me!
    Thanks,

    Nothing, mate...
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

  • He has camera - I dont and I cant see him??

    My son has a new Mac w/ built in iSight. My G5 iMac has a built in mic but no camera. Mt question is when we ichat I cant see any video (no camera icon near his name) but IM and voice work fine. Why is this? Do we both need mac accounts for this to happen or is it Ok for him to use AOL and me my mac account.
    Please help??
    APZ

    Hi
    You will only see a phone icon as you have no camera, your son can do a 1way video with you by highlighting your name in his buddy list and clicking on the video icon at the bottom of his buddy list.

  • Help - My PC cant see my Time Capsule as a wireless network

    hi
    I have a Time Capsule (not connected to internet as yet but it is on) sitting next to my PC. My imac can see the Time Capsule but my PC cant!
    Im running Windows XP. Do i need to install any software?
    I do not want to hard wire my pc to it as i have to move the TC to another room. Does anyone know why my pc cannot find my TC? My PC's wireless internet is working as i am picking up other networks...
    thanks.

    Not too sure if I can help you with this because I am trying to do it myself but...
    When I purchased my TC I asked the assistant in the Apple store if I could do this they said yes and proceeded to show me. Along the line I got a bit confused and didn't want to ask them to go over the whole thing again.
    But they wrote on a business card "NTFS" partition??? I have emailed them to see if they will elaborate on this and I am waiting for an answer. But maybe you can take something for this?
    If I get any more info I will post it

  • Cant see my airplay icon, cant use my remote app on either of my devices

    Hi
    I have the gen 3 apple TV and somehow i can no longer airplay, from my mac book pro, ipad, ipad mini or iphone.  It used to work on all of my devices and now I cant see the icon. 
    When I open my remote app it tells me that I have to turn on Home sharing on my itunes or apple tv.  It is turned on, on all of my devices.
    I have been trying to trouble shoot this issue (all of my devices have the latest updates) and I still cant use my remote or air play
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I was able to fix the issue by unpluging the apple tv, router, and modem all for about 2-3 minutes and then replugging them in

  • When ever i go to watch videos on youtube or any other apps, the screen goes black. you can hear the video but you cant see anything. how do i fix this?

    i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
                                                                                                                         thanks for your time and help!

    When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear.  Make it a very short quick press.
    OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright.  On long calls you have to repeat this.
    Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

  • I can open up firefox, but I cant see it on my screen (the small thumbnail says its open)

    its been two weeks since I cant use firefox at all. I am able to open it but cant see the page at all. I already uninstalled and tried to update it (but I haven't been able to)

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets off screen and continues to open there. One technique you can try is the following:
    While the Firefox window is active (you can judge by the Windows task bar, press Alt+Spacebar to display the system menu for the Firefox window.
    You may or may not be able to see the menu, but if you do, its position in an upper or lower corner provides a clue as to where the Firefox window is lurking. If it's on the right side, tap the m key and use the left arrow to move the window to the left. If it's on the left side, tap the m key and use the right arrow to move the window to the right. Similarly, if the system menu appears toward the top of the screen, use the down arrow to move the window down, and vice versa. It may take many presses. Does that work?
    If necessary, you could try deleting a settings file that stores the last location of the Firefox window. After locating your profile folder, close all Firefox windows before deleting the file. This article has more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
