Need Help Connecting to my Network Drive

Hello all. I have a Buffalo TeraStation network drive. I have it connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme. It doesn't show up at all on my shared drives when I select "network" from the finder menu. I have all the checkboxes enabled that would show the drive on the desktop or left pane of the windows.
Just out of curiosity I connected the drive to my Mac's ethernet port and it still doesn't show. Any idea?
I have a Mac Desktop Pro running Leopard.
Thanks;
Henry

Ok, I feel like a dummy; but happy enough to report I figured it out on my own.
Apparently AirPort Extreme assigned another IP (10.XX.XX.XX) versus my prior (192.XX.XX.XX). I only discovered this when I scrolled through the Terastation Pro display. It scrolls through the varying settings.
Once I realized a new IP was present, I used the "Go" "Connect to Server" commands.
Works great. Maybe someone will learn something from my own lesson.

    Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
    My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
    I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
    For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
    If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

    In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

  • Need help connecting to my external drive

    I have an EXTERNAL drive connected to my iMac G5 running 10.4.11. I can not access this drive via the network from my MacBook running 10.5.7. I've check file sharing on both machines prefs.
    I can connect to the iMac's HD from my MacBook via my network, but just can't seem to locate the EXTERNAL thats connected to it. I downloaded Sharepoint and still can not get my remote computer to find the external drive.

    Great news, thanks!
    Leopard will be the last OS for PPC Macs, so eventually you'll have to, but I'm thinking Tiger should be compatible for another year or two, but in a couple of years Leopard may no longer be sold by Apple, I'm seeing Tiger Install discs go for $200+ nowadays.

  • Need help connecting to a shared drive on airport extreme

    Connected to an airport extreme with a macbook and OS 10.5.8...can't seem to find where to see the USB connected to the back of the airport...any idea?

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    I am assuming that your drive is correctly formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT 32. If it's formatted as Windows NFTS, the drive will not appear.
    You'll also usually need to use a powered USB hub, even if your drive has it's own power supply because the available power at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme is quite low.
    Open the Finder and look for your AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading on the the left side of the window.
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon and a folder representing your drive will appear in the right hand side of the window.
    Double click the folder to mount the drive on your desktop.

  • Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

    I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
    I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

  • Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

    Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c.  I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report.  I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
    Thanks,
    NBGHealth

    Hello,
    I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
    Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
    Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
    Thank you
    Don

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • CS6 Bridge Running in Background after connecting to a networked drive?

    I have been having a problem with Bridge running in the background after connecting to a networked drive on a server. I can open and use the program fine, but when I close it still is running in the background until closed via Task Manager. Once the process is removed I can once again open Bridge. I found that holding Ctrl and clicking the Bridge icon and resetting my preferences allows me to open and close bridge once again, until I connect to a networked drive. Anything local on the computer things work fine, but as soon as I head over to a server Bridge wants to continue running in the background. I am assuming it is having trouble closing its connection to the networked drive and stays open.  I do have other computers on the network with CS5 and they do not have this issue.
    Any ideas on how to correct this?
    Computer is a Windows 7 64 bit platform.

    They were using the little red "x", file > quit allowed her to reopen the program etc. I find it weird that it wont close with the "x" but if I right click the icon on the task bar, it wont allow me to reopen or do anything with it so I was under the assumption it was stuck open.

  • I need help connecting my iPhone and computer together.

    I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

    Howdy sprinklemk,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
    To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
    An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
    A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
       OS X version 10.6.8 or later
       Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
    Cheers,

  • I want to use my airport time capsule as a network attached storage solution, is this possible or do I need to connect a separate hard drive?

    I want to use my airport time capsule as a network attached storage solution, is this possible or do I need to connect it to a separate hard drive?

    The Time Capsule is by default a network hard drive, but it has no "brains" of it's own. So, it cannot function as a stand alone media server if that is what you are asking.
    If you are also using the Time Capsule hard drive for Time Machine backups of your Mac(s), then there may be struggle for available space on the drive since it is not possible to partition the Time Capsule drive in a traditional manner.
    If space is getting tight on the Time Capsule, it might be a good idea to connect a drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use that drive for your network storage needs.

  • Need Help Connecting New MacBook Pro with Wireless Network Password

    Hi Linksys Community,
    I would like to ask for your help and advice.
    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro, OS X, Version 10.8.3.
    I need to setup a password to the wireless internet network (I've successfully done this)
    I have a Wireless G,  WRT54G Router. 
    When I setup the password, I'm not able to connect to the internet with my new MacBook Pro, which is running Mac OS X Version 10.8.3.  I get the message 'cannot connect to Internet, connection timeout) However, I'm able to connect to the internet with an older MacBook Pro, and my iPad. The password works fine with other models.
    Would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot what is going on, or how I can solve this problem?
    I would like to be able to have a password on my network, and use the internet with my new MacBook Pro.
    I have read about manually adding in the MAC address of computers, and setting up a Wireless MAC fiter.
    Does anyone think this would solve the problem?  if so, how can I find out the MAC address of my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks in advance for you help and time!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    Yes, my computer connects when your network is open (no password set)?
    I used WPA Pre-Shared Key.
    Do you know how I could check if my new MacBook Pro is compatible with this?
    Thanks!
