  • Networking with External Hard-drive

    Hi,
    This one is driving me up the wall. I have a Airport Express network which is joining together my Mac Mini and Windows PC. I have a Netgear wireless router for internet connection and this works fine on both.
    The problem I have is that the Netgear router has a usb port for an external drive. I am trying to use this to share my music between the PC and the Mac. Its working fine for the PC, but I just can't find out how to 'map a new network drive' on the mac as I did with the PC.
    Please forgive me for using Windows terms as I am new in the Mac world!
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Issues with External Hard Drives

    I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
    I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
    I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

    Permissions repair complete
    My concerns are:
    * Some of the permissions repaired yesterday appear to have needed to be repaired again today
    * There are several files which carry a warning that they won't be repaired as they have been 'modified', and some of these clearly relate to disk management.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going on???
    Thanks!!

    Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
    If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
    If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
    1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
    2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
    3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
    4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
    5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

  • Blue screen on start up with external Hard drive connected

    On start up Imac freezes on light blue screen with external hard drive connected via firewire. Starts okay without hard drive connected. I have repaired the drive with no resolution of the problem.

    You might try starting the iMac in "verbose mode" by holding down command-V when booting:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    That could show you some messages that might explain the problem.
    Another approach is to launch the Console utility and look for messages dated around the time of a hang.

  • Home network and Externeal hard drives

    I've recently set up a home network to allow me to share my files across my two iMac's. My older iMac I've setup with my external hard drives almost as a media center to allow my new Sonos speakers to use my itunes libary, all but one of these are formatted as MS-DOS FAT-32 to allow my read / write from Windows as well as my Mac (My main iMac runs Windows 8.1 on bootcamp and I flip between the two).
    My question is this is there anyway for me to get Mac to Mac sharing to read /write to and from the MS-DOS FAT-32 formatted drives they all display fine when i view them Mac to Widows or is this a bug where a mac can read / write when connected directly or via the screen sharing  just not the file sharing. Any help would be great or if anyone has a workaround please let me know.

    It sounds like you are logged in as Guest (which only has access to each users home directory and drop box). If your navigating to the server via Shared in the sidebar, it should say the name of the user you are logged into that server as. It defaults to Guest. If it is Guest, click the Connect As button and log in as the desired user. You should then be able to see the share points (hard drives etc) you expected.
    {quote:title=frankmlinar wrote:}My definition of persistent for use below is: When logged on as a registered user, the computer remains logged on and does not revert to Guest when clicking on various computers or drives in the finder and then returning to the logged on computer in the finder.{quote}
    So this is the behavior you want. Correct? You want to only log in once and not have it revert back to being logged in as Guest if you navigate somewhere else and then back again? Correct
    So, what you are seeing is this:
    Step 1) Click on the server in the sidebar. It automatically, by default, logs you in as Guest.
    Step 2) Click on the Connect As button and an Authentication dialog will appear. Login as another user (say Bob).
    Note: You should be able to see the share points with no problem.
    Step 3) Click on the "Desktop" entry in the sidebar
    Step 4) Click on the same server as in Step 1 in the sidebar
    Expected results: It will log you in as Bob.
    Actual results: It will log you in as Guest.
    This is behaving correctly (and is how AFP works). If you want it to remain logged in as Bob after Step 4, either create a keychain via the authentication dialog in Step 2 or before Step 3 you double clicked one of the hard drives listed for that server (or single clicked if your in Column View) to mount it.
    Just logging in to an AFP server creates a temporary/soft connection with the server, you have to mount something to make it a solid connection.

  • Help with external hard drive please????

    I am ready to chuck my computer out of the window I am so frustrated!! I really hope someone can help... Fingers crossed, here goes...
    I have two macs - a MacBook running OSX 4.11 and an iBook G4 running OSX 3.9. I also have an Iomega external hard drive. I reformatted it when I bought it for the MacBook, and have been using it fine.
    Now, I want to move a load of music from my iBook to the external hard drive. But when I plug in the hard drive, the iBook says 'MAC OSX CANNOT READ THE VOLUMES INSERTED' and gives me options of initialize, cancel, or eject.
    I don't want to initialize as I'm assuming this will re-re-format the ex hd and lose the stuff I have on there already.
    Is this the case?
    Why won't the Iomega talk to the iBook? (the Iomega website says macs need no drivers for their products...)
    Can anyone think of any genius ideas for getting the info off the iBook? Bearing in mind that there is no DVD writer, my internet connection is a teeny 2mb/s and the largest alternative storage device I have is a 2 gigabyte photo card (which i have been using, painstakingly, but is causing me massive grief by taking all night to upload from the ibook and then all day to transfer to the hard drive via the macbook, and losing a bunch of files in the process => AAAAAGH!!!!!). I've also tried firewiring the ibook and macbook together but they don't recognise each other. I created a network and accessed the iomega from the ibook via that but the 2mb/s broadband was so slow it would have taken all week, and the machines crashed anyway.
    Thoughts? Ideas? Inspiration? Magic wand????
    THANKS

    Ok, deep breath & relax...
    What format & partition table is the drive in?
    On the macbook with drive installed, Open up Mac HD/Applications/Disk Utility.app
    Select the drive from the list. If the partition scheme is GUID, then 10.3 won't be able to see it.
    & changing requires a reformat of the drive.
    So, what I would do is hold T while booting the macbook until the firewire logo shows on the screen. plug the 2 macs together via firewire 400 cable. your macbook should now show up as a firewire drive on the ibook.
    drag & drop the files you want to move. eject the drive when done & press power on the macbook to exit this mode. press power again to boot.

  • Multiple (related?) issues with external hard drive connectivity

    Apologies if this has been discussed but I have been unable to find a solution or explanation after searching here and on other forums.
    I recently purchased an external hard drive (1TB Iomega Select Portable, bus powered, 2.5", USB 2.0). After formatting with two HFS+ partitions the device began disconnecting unexpectedly and afterwards was often not recognisable by my mac until I rebooted. I returned the product and had it replaced by another of the same model.
    The replacement external hard drive worked fine at first but hours later began showing the same symptoms. _It now connects briefly then a few seconds later disconnects._ Occasionally it seems to mount and work fine, but the problem always comes back. In the times when it is working, _Time Machine recognises the drive but only backs up at a rate of about 1KB/s!_
    _I don't know if this is a problem with the external hard drive, my USB ports, or settings on my mac._ Any advise you could offer would be greatly appreciated as I've run out of troubleshooting options with my limited knowledge of computers.
    _**Some tests I've done:_
    1) When it's not being recognised in Finder, it's also not recognised in either Disk Utility or System Profiler
    2) At one stage after repeatedly disconnecting, two other external hard drives and two thumb drives that I know work fine normally also failed to mount, but strangely two wireless mouse USB receivers worked fine. Both thumb drives were formatted as FAT32, one of the external hard drives had one HFS+ and one NTFS partition, and the other was entirely NTFS. When they weren't recognised in OS X, the two FAT32 drives and the NTFS partitions of the external hard drives were all recognised in Windows 7 via VMWare Fusion. After restarting the computer all of them now work on both Windows 7 and Mac OS X.
    3) I tried the external hard drive on another computer (a PC) and it was recognised in Vista's 'Disk Management' with both partitions marked as 'healthy', but it just called it 'Disk 1' rather than showing the names I'd given each partition.
    4) When I first started transferring files onto the drive I often got 'error code -36', but found a solution that seemed to fix that by deleting the '._' files from the source folder through Terminal.
    5) I've tried different USB cables, both USB ports on my mac, and also connecting with and without the secondary part of the 'y' cable that was supplied with it.
    Thanks very much,
    Andrew

    I have the same problem with some 2.5 drives. My iMac on 10.5.8 sees the drive fine but my older 2007 Mac Book Pro 10.6.6 would not see it and now my new Mac Book Pro had problems seeing the drive from my old Mac Book Pro in that box. I had to use migration utility over the network that took 18 hours to copy my user over. I bought a new drive box and now the drive seems to work fine. I have ejected it a couple times and all seems well. I hope it continues to function properly.

  • Using Apple TV with external hard-drive and Time Capsule

    I am trying to figure out the best way to stream movies stored on an external hard-drive.
    At the moment, I have my hard-drive connected to my time capsule via USB, and am streaming them through iTunes and Apple TV. However, for this to work, I have to have my laptop on.
    Is there a way to have the movies stored on my local network, or on my time capsule, so that I can just watch them without my MacBook having to be on?
    I've spent a bit of time researching this on Google, but haven't been able to come up with a good solution, so I'd be grateful if anyone has any cool suggestions.
    Thank you.

    There isn't a solution, the Apple TV will only read your iTunes library if iTunes is running and will only play content through iTunes.

  • Time capsule with external hard drive

    My wife and I just recently became an all Mac family and I am looking into backing up our files.  We have approximatly 1 TB of Photos and 1 TB of Music/Movies.  We are photographers (well, my wife is, I just take blurry photos) and so we expect the size of our Photos to grow.
    We both have Macbook Pros and a mac mini (1 TB of storage).  Connected to our mini is a an 8 TB external hard drive currently set up as a Raid 10, so I have effectivly 4 TB storage with 4 TB of back up.  My plan was to buy an Air Port Extreme to replace our 4 year old wireless router, and I see some of the Air Port Extreme's have time capsul storage built in.
    My question is, our photos, music and movies will be kept on my EHD, which is mirrored and will make its own back up.  Is it worth buying an Air Port Extreme with time capsule to back up everything?  We will primarly be keeping programs word documents and home school stuff on the Mini and everything on our Macbook Pros will be files we take from the EHD. 
    Also, should I plug the EHD into the Air Port Extreme or the Mini?
    I formated the EHD on the mini, so it is set up as journaled, not FAT32.

    Connected to our mini is a an 8 TB external hard drive currently set up as a Raid 10, so I have effectivly 4 TB storage with 4 TB of back up. 
    I would quibble with you on the use of the word backup.. Mirror yes.. you have a mirror.. but that does not represent a backup. But you also suggest later that you have a separate backup as well .. if so you have not listed what exactly this is.
    The issue is if you delete a file.. it is deleted from the array.. if you manage to corrupt a file.. it is corrupted in the array.. worse yet.. if you corrupt a library.. very real possibility with the way apple stores files.. and I do hope your are storing original RAW versions.. so the library will then be corrupted in both sections of the array.
    How is this connected to the mini? I hope it is a recent mini and using thunderbolt??
    The best backup imho is a 4TB drive plugged into the array by usb or whatever is the fastest port it has.. esata would be great.. expensive but thunderbolt even better. Does the software with the array have some inbuilt backup?? They are usually the best way to do it. I would even consider a second cheap USB stored offsite.. friends house. Thieves love those big disk arrays.. they are worth a lot of money.. and they collect your TC/AE along with the rest.
    Now all this might be already part of what you are doing so please take it simply that you didn't list it.
    My question is, our photos, music and movies will be kept on my EHD, which is mirrored and will make its own back up.  Is it worth buying an Air Port Extreme with time capsule to back up everything?  We will primarly be keeping programs word documents and home school stuff on the Mini and everything on our Macbook Pros will be files we take from the EHD. 
    Also, should I plug the EHD into the Air Port Extreme or the Mini?
    I formated the EHD on the mini, so it is set up as journaled, not FAT32.
    You can use Time Machine in the notebooks to do a backup of the current configuration of them. Without needing to do the backup of the EHD which is really too big to do effectively. TM is very good at keeping incremental backups.
    A Time Capsule is good value considering the price of the hard disk now.. so you can buy an Extreme and run it with USB drive.. but the TC with inbuilt drive is a better option in that the drive speed of the internal far superior to the usb2 drive.
    The new AC models are still somewhat buggy.. I think I would wait a bit for Apple to get their act together.. a few months probably. Of course I only see the people with issues here.. but the firmware is still immature.
    I read a review recently by a guy I respect on our local forum.
    http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2125865
    Compared to the Asus N66U model.. the AE wasn't even in the same class. And that is not AC but just 900mbps (so called) N wireless. That the AE was totally outclassed is somewhat of a surprise.. they are basically identical.. the chipset both use is standard broadcom. That means Apple has tried to do funny stuff instead of sticking with the broadcom OEM linux firmware.. they have to rewrite it in NetBSD.. and this is going to take some time to debug.
    For now you can use TM to network drive,, just as easily as to a TC.
    See http://code.stephenmorley.org/articles/time-machine-on-a-network-drive/
    This is plainly opinionated.. and others might be in better position to post.. so go ahead and tear me to shreds.. but I would take great care.. before leaping at new edge technology.. unless you like the bleeding edge.

  • Trouble with External Hard Drive

    I recorded some saved programs on my Dish Network DVR 622 to an external hard drive that formatted it for that purpose according to their instructions. Can the external hard drive now be reused by being hooked up to my HP notebook computer and reformatted or have I lost it because of that use? If so, how do I do it? I do not want to save anything on the drive--just format it and use it for a different purpose. I no longer have the Dish DVR. When I connect the external drive to my desktop I do not even see an icon for it in My Computer.
    Thanks for any help.     

    OK with a little googling around I discovered the DISH DVR formats its external drives for Linux using the ext file system. Windows cannot natively read ext formatted drives. If you plugged it into a machine running Linux you could read the drive. There is also a Windows program that will allow you to read ext formatted hard drives right from Windows.
    http://www.ext2fsd.com/?page_id=16
    This may also be kind of a fools errand because I am also seeing that the movies on the hard drive may be encrypted and can only be read by a DVR running your account anyway. If you just want to wipe the drive right click on each of the rectangles in Disk 1 and select delete volume or delete partition until the whole box is blank then create simple volume and format it ntfs and you have a useable external drive.
    You could also just delete one of the partitions like say the last one on the right which is 396.26 gb and then create a new partition in it and format it ntfs and give it a drive letter and then you would have a storage space for your laptop files. You could then keep the movies on the rest of the drive for when you get a new DVR. As I understand it from the DISH forums, when you plug the hard drive into a new DVR it will give the option to set it up to work on that DVR. Also I am not 100% clear that the external drives have encrypted movies. That may only apply to people who pull the hard drive out of the DVR and try to get movies from it.
    This is an interesting project. The real easy way to see if the movies can be played from a PC is to make a Linux Live disk like ubuntu, boot the system from it and plug in the hard drive while you are running Linux from the Live disk. You could then see if you can see the movies and if they will play in the Linux media player program and it would not cost anything or change anything on your computer. Post back if you want more info on how to try that.

  • Help with External Hard Drive

    Ok, I have all my music on an external hard drive, and a brand new version of itunes that is completely blank. I'm trying to transfer the music from my external hard drive into Itunes but am having trouble. I've gone to file - add to library - and then chosen my music folder in the external hard drive, and Itunes starts to look like it'll load the songs in, but then nothing happens and the main song menu remains completely blank. Any ideas?

  • Airport extreme working with external hard drive via USB port adaptor :)

    Hi Everyone. I hope this post will be helpful because I have been very frustrated with apple and their customer support and I figured this out on my own by reading all of the discussions and playing with my settings but it took me a while...
    I recently for school bought all apple products and I have non-mac products as well. I bought the airport extreme believing I could hook up all of my computers through it and share the printers and my mybook external hard drive with my husbands desktop and the other lap tops. Unfortunately this was not as easy as advertised...
    I was not able to successfully have both computers stay connected to the printers so I have to have mine for my laptop connected via the airport extreme and my husband has his desktop connected to a different printer via a ethernet cable. It would work at set up and then a few hours later not print anymore and reinstalling the drivers just confused it... if anyone knows a solution for this please let me know. It worked wirelessly for me but not for him.
    As far as the external drive for the airport extreme goes I went and bought an additional USB port hub so I could access my printer wirelessly and my external hard drive as well for time machine back ups.
    I set up my external hard drive so that it will save files from both a mac and a non-mac computer and we can both access it (not sure if that matters in the solution or problem for others); however, the desktop (non-mac) was able to by clicking and dragging files to it assess the hard drive and utilize it and my macbook was not able to because the airport extreme showed the drive under disks but when I tried to access it through time machine it was not there. I played with this for a long time and finally figured it out.
    I believe I went under finder, then chose go from the menu bar, then chose connect to server and the default for it is afp://10.0.1.1.. You enter this in under server address and you may be prompted to give your password. The password was tricky as well because it showed my computers user name and I thought it would want that password but instead it wanted the password to log into my internet or my airport extreme's password. Once I put this in I was able to open my time machine preferences, finally choose the mybook external hard drive that was now showing up, choose it and my computer is currently doing a back up as I type without the error message of failed, unable to locate volume, or any others.
    Hope this posting was helpful and not to confusing and feel free to message me if you need clarification and think this may solve your problem as well. GOOD LUCK!

    Seems to me you should have done your homework setting up your network and not assuming that any third party device you choose to use would work without problems.

  • Wireless fails when restarted with external hard drive

    I was attempting to configure my external hard drive to work with Back To My Mac (via this article).  I was able to pair my Airport Extreme easily, once it restarted, the only way to connect was through ethernet.  I was receiving 169.x.x.x addresses on all of my devices.
    I attempted a hard reset, with the external media plugged in...same problem.  In fact, it wouldn't even allow me to configure it.
    My last airport gave up after a couple of years, so I went and bought the tall AirPort Extreme...same problem exactly.
    Once I pin pointed it was the hard drive causing this, I was able to get the network back up and running.  However, I'd still like to be able to use my hard drive when Back to My Mac is enabled and the hard drive is plugged in (what if I lost power while I was gone?).
    Oddly enough, I discovered it's no problem if I plug the media in after it restarts (once it's booted up), it will show up on the network and everything.  It's a 3TB HFS+ formatted drive, normally use it to do Time Machine and to dump random huge files that I don't need everyday.  So nothing that should be making it cause a problem.
    Any ideas or a potential patch in the future?

    I'm experiencing this issue too. Power cycling the TC does fix the problem, but the problem eventually returns after a while. Has happened three times now over the past few days. Seems like a bug to me.

  • Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

    I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file. 
    Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
    it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
    Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
    important files that we are unable to access now.
    I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
    have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
    In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
    down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
    Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
    Other relevant information:
    We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
    Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
    Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!

    I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
    "If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
    the external drive back in to your new computer. "
    Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
    I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
    already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
    Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
    into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection". 
    I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
    so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
    Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
    It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
    At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
    at "0 USN bytes processed".
