Only ONE external hd shows up via my airport extreme.

  I have them both plugged into a powered usb hub, and that connected to the back of the airport extreme.
Only one hd will show up. . . any ideas???
Thanks so much for the help.

Yes, I did format both drives with Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
I can see drive A if it's plugged in by itself, or I can see drive B if IT's plugged in by itself, but I can only see one if both are plugged into the powered usb hub.???
Any other ideas? 
Thank you so much for the response.

    "so you can't use ethernet or wireless to connect the printer?"
    There is no Ethernet port on the HP printer, nor does it have a wireless card; it is not a "network ready" printer, just a USB printer. I connected the printer to the network via a USB cable from the printer to the Airport Extreme. All the systems on the network can see the printer, show it as the default printer, but they can't print to it. When I was using the Airport Express as a print server, the printer was connected to the Express via its USB port and the Express was connected to the Linksys router via an Ethernet cable. In this scenario, everything worked perfectly, I could print from my wireless and wired systems with no problems at all.
    Your printer has wireless capablities so has an IP adress. Does a USB printer have an IP address? I don't think so, but if it does, please tell me how to find out what it is - maybe that is my problem; I didn't need this info when I was using the Express as a print server. (Maybe I just need to buy another Express and use it as a print server and forget about using the USB port on the Extreme...defeats the purpose of getting the Extreme in the first place, but at least I could stop wasting my time with all of this!)

    Hello @kgingeri1, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    If you have sent a test print via ePrint, and experience this issue, i would call the Cloud Services department.
    If ePrint works fine, it is definitely a Google Cloud Print issue.
    Also, when you print from your android device, are you using Google Cloud print or the HP ePrint app?
    Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

  • Only one device will connect to wifi via my airport Extreme

    The power went off at our house recently. Since then I have been unable to connect more than one device via my airport extreme. I have tried unplugging and resetting both modem and router repeatedly. It would switch between laptops, allowing one to be connected while saying the other had no connection and to reset the router/modem. I have tried reconfiguring the airport express (a couple of times). I have tried resetting the network settings on my iphone5. I have restored the factory settings on my iphone5... On my iphone5 the Airport Utility cannot locate the Airport Extreme. It says no base stations have been found.
    My husbands android mobile also cannot connect to wifi (which it previously could).
    Help please!

    So it seems a night of rest has done everything a world of good!  I just turned on the second lap top, it connected to the wifi.  Then with bated breath tried the iphone5 and it connected too.  So, seems that the resets I did yesterday did do the trick, just things needed to be shut down and restarted again. Yay!

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

  • Am I the only one who finds iTunes 11 tedious in the extreme?

    Am I the only one who finds iTunes 11 tedious in the extreme? iTunes used to be easy to use but not now. For instance is there a way to delete an entire album from iTunes without deleting each individual song? Small example of my frustration with iTunes as it stands.

    Thanks Airsculpture.
    As I suspected you cannot just delete an entire album. It is a laborious and time consuming procedure. I got used to most updates but this one is truly awful and not user friendly at all.
    Thanks for taking the time to reply though. It is appreciated. 

  • Can I backup to a time capsule via an airport extreme.

    I have a time capsule although it is at the other side of my house and i dont get great signal. I am looking at getting an airport extreme (would an airport expres to extend my signal. Will i be able to backup to my time capsule via my airport extreme.

    If your Time Capsule was purchased in the last few years, chances are you have a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule.
    In order to extend both bands using wireless only, you would need a new AirPort Extreme, since the AirPort Express would only be able to extend one band from the Time Capsule.
    If you only need to have one band extended, then an AirPort Express would likely work for your application.
    Whether you choose the Extreme or Express, keep in mind that the correct location for an extending device is a point that is approximately half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
    Apple's instructions to configure the "Extend" setup are here. Although an AirPort Extreme is pictured in the example, the instructions for an AirPort Express would be the same.

  • How to move external hard drive (time machine) off airport extreme network?

    For several years now, I've had an external hard drive connected to my airport extreme and it's servered as an awesome external back-up of my Macbook via Time Machine.  However, now I've had to remove the external hard drive from my network (that's a whole other story).  Anyway, when I connect the external hard drive to my MacBook, it doesn't recongize it as my Time Machine back-up. It is still looking for "My Book" on my network, which obviously doesn't exist anymore.  Can I simply re-direct it to "my book" that is now connected via USB to my computer?  Do I have to start over?  If possible, I'd like to keep the back-ups I already had and simply continue with my new back-ups.  Please advise!  Thanks!

  • I am having problems printing from my iPad via my AirPort Extreme network.

    I am having no success printing from my iPad via my AirPort Extreme based local network. I can use this to print wirelessly from my iMac OS X 10.7.5 and MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8. I have 2 printer options: HP Laserjet (B&W) P1005 hard-wired to the iMac and HP Photosmart 7760 hard-wired to the AirPort Extreme. I believe I have checked all the correct boxes to enable the network and the iPad to connect, including ensuring that it is using the same network but when I try to select a printer I get the message that no printer can be found. Will it not work with an AirPort Extreme based network or only if this is connecting to wirelessly enabled printers which I do not have.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

  • Can a time machine usb drive backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme*

    can a time machine usb drive conected to my mac book backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme ?

    Hi Adam, if you think yoiur HD may be failing you could do a TM restore onto the new disk. I would rather see you do a clone either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.Of your internal drive. That way you have a bootable backup in case it does fail.
    btw - what are the symptoms of your failing drive?

  • External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

    External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

    Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
    Does the drive now appear in finder..
    If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
    If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

  • HT201250 Time machine back up using a external hard drive connected to the Airport extreme

    How can I setup a time machine back up using a external hard drive connected to the Airport extreme? Even better for time managment purposes I want to use the Eithernet Thunderbolt connection for the first back up and then through the wifi there after for daily routine Time Machine back ups.

    You can attach a hard drive, but Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port at the AirPort Extreme are not supported by Apple, so it's not possible to say what your actual results might be.
    If you decide to try this, it would be wise to have a secondary backup plan in place as well.

  • How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?

    How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?
    I have an external hard drive attached to my Airport Extreme and I can access it just fine through Finder.  I would like to be able to keyboard navigate to it in an efficient manner.  I tried to use the "Go to the folder" feature but was unable to.
    I had tried dragging the drive to the Network folder but the shortcut it created does not lead to the drive's contents...it seems to lead right back to the parent directory:
    I hope I explained the question well.  Thank you for all of your help and time in tending to my inquiry.

    Cant you set up "back to my mac" then go to finder preferences and put a check mark under everything under the shared location. Also set up back to my mac on your airport extreme.
