Losing faith with AirDisk feature

Ever since I've used the AirDisk feature I've had connection problems...
I have a 400GB external USB 2.0 HD and I dedicated it to be my AirDisk.
I set all my Macs on my network to backup their data using the .mac Backup program.
Problems began when I noticed my AirDisk dismount on the desktops of my macs after a few days.
I would restart both my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and my AirDisk and get back the connection BUT about a week or less the AirDisk would dismount from the desktops.
I then thought it was a problem with my external HD so I ran disk utility on it from and I found some problems (Incorrect Access Count?) but disk utility fixed the problem - I still had connection problems after the disk repair.
I then tried another HD altogether, a LaCie HD, and then the same issues happened with this drive, I drive would disconnect after a few days.
The other strange thing is after I restart both the AEBS and my LaCie drive I see the drive in my Network view BUT I can't log into it.
I'm very disappointed with this feature and I'm seriously considering putting a NAS HD on my network in place of the AirDisk.
my specs:
AEBS w/ 7.2.1 firmware
AirDisk settings: File Sharing on, access to AirDisk w/ base station password, Guests not allowed
3 macs on network: 2 with 10.4.11(ethernet) and one with 10.5.1 (wireless)

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

  • Does Airdisk feature require (n) speed?

    My MacBook Pro (Core Duo not Core2Duo) does not, without some potentially warranty-voiding hacks, run at (n) speeds, yet the AirDisk feature of the new Airport Extreme (2007) appeals to me. Will I be able to use this feature to connect an external HD to an AE base station even though I'm not running at (n) speeds?

    Yes you will. The disk will not be as fast as with N but it still works well. I have one N computer and one G computer and I use the airdisk from both

  • I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

    I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

    Hi dudes,
    As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
    Thank you.

    One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
    Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

  • Will a CS5 Master Suite serial work on a CS5.5 download just with limited features?

    I just got a new computer and can't find my discs that I purchased for the CS5 Master Collection to install it...I got my serial from Adobe's site - will this serial work with the trial download of CS5.5(With limited features)? Or is there still a CS5 download somewhere? I'm just seeing the CS5.5 downloads on the download page - not sure if an old link is still around and active.
    Thanks for any help!

    Also, I found the CS5 trial download at http://prodesigntools.com/cs5-free-trial-downloads-now-available.html. However, everytime I click on the link for the master collection it says that there was an error processing the request.
    Adobe support isn't open on the weekend. Please help.

  • Movie with special features won't play

    My sister sent me a movie that she purchased on her iTunes account and it sent completely to my iTunes.  It is a movie with extended features.  When I opened it in my iTunes it goes to a page that says "play", "chapters", "features", "more".  I am able to click features and more and it shows me those features however it asks me to authorize using my apple ID (even though it was purchased on my sisters).  When I go over to play movie or even chapters it will not let me play the movie at all and it does not even give me the option to authorize the movie.  She does not have 5 computers authorized on her account so there is no reason it should not work on my computer
    could anyone help with this problem?

  • "Archive Source Files with Errors"  feature - how to?

    File sender adapter has a feature to  Archive Source Files with Errors.
    I have an adapter module applied to inbound files and in case an error occurs during the processing of the adapter module, I want to make use of this feature , this is because the CC keeps on picking the file with erroneous data after regular specified interval and shows up an error in RWB.
    How can I use the  Archive Source Files with Errors feature with this? Do I have to do anything specific in the adapter module code for this to work?
    Regards,
    Amol

    Hi,
    if you see whats mentioned on the help link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/2d6189f0e27a4894ad517961762db7/frameset.htm
    it says:
    To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, set the indicator.
    A permanent error occurs either during the conversion of the file content, or in a module in the module processor.
    does this not mean it could be used with errors raised in adapter modules? ideally it should be.

  • Issue with "Open with Explorer" feature

    Hello
    Since the middle of last week, our users are experiencing some strange issues with the feature "Open with Explorer".
    This feature is normally working perfectly, but from time to time, the users are receiving the error message when clicking on the button: "We´re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and
    try again.".
    In all those computers, the SharePoint site is already in Trusted Sites list or in Local Intranet list. Moreover, just closing Internet Explorer and reopening it fix the issue.
    Do you know what could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
    Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    Yann

    Make sure you are not running into the following scenario.
    SPS13
    "Open with Explorer" random error "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"
    I quote directly from the above blog post but make sure you read the entire blog post.
    The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
    Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
    Resolution:
    Check and ensure,  that the “Managed Paths”
    are not changed
    in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
    this web application and there is a working Root site collection.

  • Can anybody help with UCCE feature "Work Mode on Outgoing" in Agent Desk Settings

    Hi,
    my customer wants to have a wrapup time till the agents change their state to "ready" by
    themself.
    So I have configured the maximum for wrapup time 7200 sec in Agent Desk Settings.
    But I have a problem with the feature "Work  Mode on Outgoing" in agent desk settings in
    ICM 7.5.5.
    I think I  recognized the function of this feature. It works like that:
    - if  an agent gets a call via ICM or directly on his phone he will be set  into work mode
    - if he make a call and the called number answer  that call the agent is still on work
    mode after he hung up
    - but  if the called number doesn't answer that call and the agent hangs up his  phone he
    is in ready/not ready state and that isn't the expected state.
    (  you can also rebuild this when you go off hook and then on hook again)
    The  problem is when the agent in state "ready" gets a call via ICM and  after he hung up
    his phone he is in state "work Ready". Now he makes an  outgoing call but this call will
    not be answered and if he hangs up his  phone he directly gets a new call from ICM because
    he was in "ready"  state.
    Is it possible to set a registry key or do another  configuration for that feature "work
    mode on outgoing" that it works for  every new call even if the call will not be answered?
    Cheers,
    Tobias

    ed_umansky wrote:The proper way to make outbound calls is to first go Not Ready then make a call using the desktop software.
    Agreed. In fact, with CAD and CTIOS you cannot make an outbound call when Ready.
