Mac book pro won't connect to external harddrive

After upgrade de firmware of the AEBS from 7,0 to 7,1 I can not see the to EABS connected external harddrive on my macbook pro anymore. However on my windows pc I can see the drive clearly now with all the files in any directory, while before the upgrade I couldn't see a lot of files on the external harddrive bij Mac or PC. Is there anybody who can help me out with this?
Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem, here is what helped me, hopefully it will help you also...
I have been using my airport disk (edge_diskgo external HD) now for about 3 weeks, it has been rock solid... until tonight after the firmware update.
My macs could not locate the airport disk, but my pc's still could.
(Maybe this was how the security problem was solved? You can no longer access the Airport disk from macs? Brilliant!)
It turns out that all I had to do on my both my macs is go to
Airport disk utility (just type that in spotlight) and check
both boxes: Automatically discover Airport Disks
Show Airport disks in menu bar
Then I went to the top right hand side of the menu bar, and clicked on the airport disk utility icon, clicked on my basestation name and entered my basestation password.
I also had following settings in Airport Utility/Disks/File sharing:
File sharing is enabled
secure shared disks (with base station password)
Guest access (not allowed)
Share disks over ethernet wan port (checked)..
Advertise disks globally using bonjour (not checked)
My drives are back up with all of their contents, working now, we will see how they do tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help on this post, special Thanks to trevinwagner, hope this helps someone else.... its very late, Goodnight all

  • Mac book pro won't detect my external superdrive

    I just got a 2012 macbook pro. it has the 10.9.4 update. it doesn't come with a superdrive so i bought an external one. it worked for one day but when i tried to plug it in today nothing happened. The Mac didn't even recognize it. when I opened the DVD Player on my computer manually it says there is no disk or drive found. please help I don't know what to do.

    Have you tried connecting your external drive to another computer?  It is possible that it is bad, and won't work with any system now.

  • Mac Book Pro won't connect to internet via either Ethernet or wireless

    A month ago my macbook pro suddenly stops working wirelessly with my virgin media router showing it has connected but no internet access. I have a second computer so i hadn't addressed the issue untill now. On a different virgin media router at my university flat I have exactly the same issue. I can connect to the Wi-Fi but it has no internet access and an IP of 169. so it is being rejected somehow. I have tried several things but they haven't worked. I stress that the ethernet doesnt work either which is unusually of most posts on this topic. If anyone could help me that would be much appreicated.

  • Mac Book Pro Won't Open My External Drive

    I have a 200gb external drive. When I plug it into my fire wire 400, the macbook recognizes the drive, but when I try to open it, I get ye olde spinning color wheel that goes on until I turn off the drive. Any ideas?

    First, I will inform you that your nik is inappropriate. Please change it immediately. We're not prudes here on the Apple Discussions, but we do try to maintain a bit of decorum.
    Nevertheless, I will try to help you. There are several possible explanations for the behavior you are seeing. The most likely is that the volume on your external drive has suffered a disk error. Connect the drive and turn it on, then open Disk Utility, select the drive's volume on the left in the "First Aid" pane, and click on "Repair Disk." Let us know what, if any, errors it reports, and if it is able to successfully repair the volume.
    One of a several things might happen when you attempt to repair the volume. The best scenario for you is if it actually finds erors and is able to repair them; problem solved. It could find errors and not be able to repair them, in wich case you will need to either format the volume or use Disk Warrior to attempt further repairs. Even if Disk Warrior works, I would recommend backing up what you can after successful repairs, then reformatting the volume.
    Disk Utility might "freeze" when attempting to either unmount or repair the drive. In this case, circumstances point to a problem not with the volume, but with communication between your computer and the volume. This could be caused by incompatible firmware on the drive, or bad hardware in the drive. If it is a firmware issue, it can be resolved by downloading and installing updated firmware (if it exists) for the drive. Check the drive manufacturer's website.
    "Bad drive hardware" could be a bad enclosure "bridge" (Firewire to ATA), a bad ATA cable in the enclosure (I've experienced this problem myself in the past), or a bad drive inside the enclosure. Of these three problems, a bad cable would be the easiest to fix. Obviously, fixing it would involve opening the enclosure, but once opened it is a simple matter to replace the existing cable with a new one.
    Follow what instructions I have given, then use the additional info I have given to help you troubleshoot this problem. Good luck, and change that name(!!).

    ipad is asking for a passcode which I never installed. iPad is now disabled. Tried syncing to itunes with my mac book pro, won't sync. How do I fix this?

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • My Mac book pro won't turn on at all and when i put it to charge the light blinks, what should I do?

    My Mac book pro won't turn on at all and when i put it to charge the light blinks, what should I do?

    Yes if your model MBP has a removable battery.  If it does not: 
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

    No.
    Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.  Contacted Canon's tech support for instance?

  • My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off

    My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off. It's been like this all day but I didn't notice till I turned it on.

    It's either a power adapter issue (not likely) or (more likely) a power supply problem on your MBP. Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
    Good luck,
