PS3 and Airport USB Disk

I'd really like to get my PS3 to connect to the USB drive attached to my Airport.. but not sure if it's going to be possible. Does anyone have any more info, or know a way to get it to work?
Apparently:
+PS3 uses HDNA (uPnP)+
+TC uses Bonjour (mDNS)+
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6568952&#6568952
But perhaps there is still a way to get them to work together..?

I have a 500 GB WD connected to my AE and it's FAT formatted (I think this is the only format PS3 will read). I use Nullriver's MediaLink and once it shows up as a Shared drive on my G5 the PS3 can access it as well. I don't believe it can access this drive if the G5 is sleeping or turned off. But the advantage is that I can put MediaLink on my laptop as well and "serve" music and video from the shared drive. I haven't tried it yet, but it should work.

Using the airport usb disk with playstation3...

anyone know how i can get my PS3 to see the USB disk hooked up to my AE, and use it as a media share?
I have a wireless-n AE, with a 250GB USB drive hooked up, and also a WD Mybook world edition 1TB server on a ethernet connection.
all the macs in my house see the drives just fine, but everytime i search for a media share on the PS3, it says 'no media shares found'.
i'm sure its a PS3 issue, but i was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with it, as i'm a complete noob when it comes to networking.
thanks.

a) WEP WPA password, ive never set one up for the airport, where do i find out what this password is for my PC?
You will set up wireless security (WEP or WPA) on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX)..using the AirPort Admin Utility, which is part of AirPort for Windows.
b) Everytime I run the Airport Express Assistant it gives me an error message saying "Windows is not the current network manager...please change Windows to the default", I dont know why I get this error and I assume windows is the one managing the networks I use.
Your PC has wireless capability...correct? The AirPort Setup Assistant requires a wireless connection to the AX.
c) I can connect to the airport through windows, but when in the Airport Management Utility it does not detect the Airport
Connect your PC directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then run the AirPort Admin Utility to configure it.
d) After all this, will Windows and iTunes allow you to stream music thru the Airport Express, like it does on my mac with itunes???
Yes, you will be able to stream iTunes from your PC to the AX, either wired or wirelessly.

Airport USB Disk - access from PC?

I have set up my USB disk in my Airport utility, trying all three options (accounts, disk password, and device password). I cannot find it in Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer to access it.
What is the trick?
Thanks,

There are a number of posts related to accessing AirPort Disks from Windows Vista / 7 PCs. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

Windows 7 and Airport Extreme disk do not connect

I have three windows computers (XP, VISTA & 7) and one mac mini all sharing a drive connected to my airport extreme. I can access the drive fine with computers except windows 7.
My configuration on the airport was to prompt for a disk password, so I changed it to ask for username and password and I still cannot connect.
I have tried to map it via \\10.0.1.1\Disk and also \\extreme\Disk neither work.
I have been able to connect or at least it appears to connect by showing me the drive listed in windows 7, but none of the files are present. Windows xp and vista show the files fine and still can connect.

But currently have it working with the Win 7 defaults of:
1) "Send NTLMv2 response only" for "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level"
2) "Require 128-bit encryption" for "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients"
also, my "Windows Search" is enabled.
I might end up revisiting these ideas though, because if I disconnect the network drive from the PC and then try to remap it, I run into some of the same problems that occurred in the initial troubleshooting - in other words I cannot just map the drive, need to reboot.
So the problem that I had in summary:
- I had gotten the Airport Extreme shared USB drive to connect to the PC by first a reboot and then connecting via wireless to the Airport Extreme
- If I disconnected from the shared drive on the PC, then I could not re-map it (I could get it back by the reboot / connect mentioned above): Windows was asking for "user name" and "password" when I went through the "Map network drive", following the ideas specified in "AirPort: How to mount an AirPort Extreme USB hard disk volume in Mac OS X and Windows" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331?viewlocale=en_US)
After more monkeying and searching around, I found that could fix this by:
1) On the PC, go to Start, type "advanced share" in the search box. This will take you to "Change sharing options for different network profiles" (can also get there by going to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings).
2) Once there, go down to the bottom "Password protected sharing" and click "Turn off password protected sharing". Save your changes.
3) Disconnect / reconnect to your Airport Extreme - I am doing it via the primary (non-guest) wireless.
Then, whenever I connect to the primary (non-guest) wireless on Airport Extreme, the share automatically maps itself. I can disconnect from it (the share) and it will disappear from under My Computer. To reconnect to it (the share), I just recycle the wireless connection. And, if I log on to the guest network, the share is not visible, which is how I would expect it to perform with my settings.
In Control Panel Microsoft describes "Password protected sharing" as:
When password protected sharing is on, only people who have a user account and password on this computer can access shared files, printers attached to this computer, and the Public Folders. To give other people access, you must turn off password protected sharing.
Maybe I am just tired from pounding away at this (yes, still using the "Monkey Theory" analogy - it is actually listed as the "Infinite monkey theorem" on Wikipedia if you want to read about it) but the whole thing still doesn't make much sense to me.
As far as why changing Network security policies may work for some and not others is a bit of a mystery. I did pursue this further and ran Wireshark while I changed these settings around. There were some differences in the "Negotiate Protocol Request" and "Negotiate Protocol Response" sequence, as would be expected but the end result for me was just keeping the default Win 7 values and making the changes mentioned above to get things working.
Otherwise, in Wireshark, I could just continually see as the PC got rejected for an attempt to logon to the share with its credentials, which I could not effectively change via the "Map network drive".
I also just ended up Turning off network discovery from the control panel (same location as mentioned above). Now, if I try to browse in the "Map network drive" , I get a popup that sates:
"Network discovery is turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. Please turn on network discovery in Network and Sharing Center."
Yet, there is my nicely mapped Airport Extreme shared drive, sitting under My Computer, fully accessible and listed as a Network Drive. So, I am not sure what is really more baffling, the semantics or the technology that is at work underneath it.
I would love to hear if anyone else can get things working by doing any of the above.

Inconsistent Airport USB disk mounting patterns

I have two Airport Extreme networks -- one at home and one in my office at work. I access both networks with a MacBook. Fine so far.
I also have an Iomega USB disk attached to the APE at home and an identical disk attached to my APE at work. The disk at home mounts nicely on my desktop. However, the disk at school does not mount. Connection proceeds to the point where I type in the password, but it does not mount, and I get the volume "__" could not be mounted message. This message appears regardless of which user account I work.
So, the Airport disk mounts fine at home but does not mount at my office. I've spent several hours deleting preference files, mucking around with the Airport Utility, etc. No go. Restarting the APE at work sometimes gives short-lived success, but it does not seem to last.
Any suggestions?

Okay, after reading several other discussion posts, the best workaround I've been able to find is to mount the Airport Disk through the Connect to Server menu. You'll need to know the IP address of your AirPort. It's probably either 10.0.1.1 or something like 192.168.0.1 -- you can find it by running AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder. Just click on your AirPort base station on the left side and the utility should say what the IP address of your base station is. (You can then quit AirPort Utility.)
Then press cmd-K, OR from the Finder click on the Go menu and then select Connect to Server...
In the "Server Address" box, type smb://AEBS-IP-adress/Volume-name
For example, in my setup, I connect to smb://10.0.1.1/Iomega because my AirPort Extreme Base Station has an IP address of 10.0.1.1 and the name of the drive I have connected to my AEBS is called "Iomega" The volume should now mount and show up in the Toolbar of any Finder window. It does NOT show up as a separate volume on my desktop, but your mileage may vary.
This has worked for me each time I've tried it and is much more reliable than trying to select my AEBS from the "Shared" option in the Toolbar of the Finder window.
BTW: If you will be doing this regularly, you may want to go back to the Connect to Server menu and click the + button to add it as one of your favorite servers.

Airport Extreme with Airport USB Disk issues - Dont give up just yet...

Just a heads up for anyone who is having issues with accessing an Airport disk with the latest firmware.
After calling Apple support as i was convinced my AEBS was faulty, i have since discovered that if and HFS+ disk cannot be varified and repaired successfully in Disk Utility, it would lock up my AEBS totally. My wireless would drop out and nothing would work any longer untill I turned the power off and on again.
I was able to correct the issue with the USB HDD by booting with the Leopard CD and using Disk Utility in Mac OS X setup. Trying the same thing when booting from the Macbook HDD would result in a 'failed to unmount' error.
Before anyone has a fit and trys to return their AEBS with a similar issue i suggest trying the above or another USB HDD. It just might save you the $49 that i paid as a result of being out of the 90 days of support on my AEBS and Macbook.
FYI, contrary to the technical requirements i was sent by the Apple service agent i spoke with, my Airport Disk IS working with 2 partitions. 1 HFS+ and the other a Windows partiton (i cant remember if its FAT32 or NTFS. My HDD is at home)
I have a collegue at work who was having similar issues with a FAT32 USB HDD on his AEBS but we have just discovered that the HFS+ HDD that i used to test my AEBS with, worked fine on his also. We are yet to find out if his HDD is faulty at this stage. Ill keep you all posted on what we find.
SO, at this stage it would be resonable to say that the AEBS doesnt handle corrupted HDD's very well. (IE it totally locks up and the wireless drops out)

That used to be a problem on 7.2.x. Now 7.3.1 can fix some minor disk problems (such as disk not unmounted correctly).
Since I upgraded to 7.3.1, I haven't once taken my USB hard drive out to be repaired on my Mac.

Why Airport USB disk is that slow?

I'm using Airport Extreme at 802.11n to connect to the Internet and a 400GB USB 2.0 disk. I wonder why the transfer is SO SLOW (ussually 2.0 MB/s and peak of 5 MB/s).
For other people is this speed too?

I got so frustrated with the slow speed on mine that I actually unplugged it from the APEBS and plugged directly into my MBP. Made me "very very angry indeed"! I didn't have this problem under Tiger.

Possible to create a rescue and recovery USB disk?

When you create rescue and recovery media, there's an option showing "USB hard disk drive". However, the target drive list is always empty. How could I get it work? I have plugged my usb-hard disk to my laptop (T400).
BTW, it's possible to create the recovery disk using my usb key?

Probably a good question for ForumNokia. If you mean start up a thread and run in the background while your MIDlet UI does other things, then sure, why not. If you mean that you want to exit your MIDlet, but leave a thread running in the background, then I don't believe you can do this on series 40. S60 is another story since it supports multiple tasks.

Photsmart C309 and error USB Disk Unreadable, please disconnect USB

Since upgrading to Mac OSX 10.9.1, I get an error message on my computer screen that the disk I connected to can not be read. On the printer window is a message remove USB device.
I can actually scan a document and see it on my computer screen, but if I try to save the document and open it later or preview the document or send the document, it is just lines on a page not what I scanned.
I have looked for new drivers. I have removed and readded the all-in-one. I have tried a different USB cable.
Are the two incompatible?

Hi CaroWA,
I understand you have a Photosmart C309 and that is having issues working with your 10.9 Mac. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
When you upgraded to 10.9 did you do anything with your HP software, or is it the same software you had with your prior operating system? If it's the same software as before, that could be why you're experiencing issues. For the Photosmart C309 there is no HP software at this time, so you would have to uninstall any HP software and then reinstall the printer via the Apple Updates.
Hope this helps, have a great weekend!!

Can external HD connect to PS3 and Airport Extreme at the same time?

I currently have a external HD connected to my PS3 to play vids. Can I connect a AirPort Extreme to that HD at the same time to wirelessly drop files on the HD to play on the PS3?
Thanks

Most likely, no. How do you propose that you would connect this drive to both devices simultaneously? Via a USB hub?

Ps3 and airport snow

ok im trading in my 360 for various reasons. I was wondering when i get a ps3 will it have any problems getting on the internet through my airport?

So I should add an item into the Access Control list and use the MAC address that shows up in the PS3 System Information when the PS3 is wired?
Why am I skeptical? =P
Well, it's a new thing to mess with....
A friend of mine suggested that it might be an NAT/port forwarding issue, as I mentioned to him that Azureus always thinks that I'm behind a firewall (when I'm not). I looked into it, not really knowing what the **** I was doing, did some tinkering, and while I didn't screw up my network settings, I fixed neither Azureus nor the PS3, so I don't think I did it right. He said he'd be willing to help me out later this week, so in the meantime I'll try that Access Control tab...

PS3 and airport extreme

I apologize in advance if this has been answered somewhere else, but my problem is simple. My ps3 is not pulling an ip address from the airport extreme. I've tried several options, but to no avail. Please help.

If anyone knows a good setup to use on the AEBS for playing COD4, be it a DMZ or port forwarding and assigning static ip for ps3, please let me know.
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the PS3.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
o Click "Continue"

Disk Utility to Airport USB disk?

It looks like the answer is no, but I'm mildly surprised that Apple didn't make this more Apple-like
Just checking to see if one can do any "Disk Utility" type of access (Erase, repair, etc) to a USB HD off the AEBS (I have the gigabit version), or if you have to connect directly to your Mac for that.
Thanks,
Mike

You must connect the drive directly to your Mac to get those abilities.

Using DVDs and Airport Extreme Disk

Hi,
I have all my photos stored on a Hard Drive connected to my Airport Extreme.
My wife has most of her photos stored on a collection of DVDs.
Both of us use our respective laptops to access either the Hard Drive over the Wi-fi or to load up individual DVDs.
Both of us have very limited space on our laptops (hence the DVDs and Hard Drive).
So I have a couple of questions:
Where is the best place to put the Aperture Library file? Locally on my laptop or on the Hard Drive? If I put it locally and take my laptop to a client (without access to my home network) how will/what will I see in Aperture. Guess I'm worried how big the Library file will work.
How does Aperture reference the DVDs? What happens when the DVD is not present in the machine for a particular image and I want to look at it.
I realise these may be elementary questions, but I would appreciate some help
Many thanks in advance
Stewart

hi, stewart
are your photographs referenced?
I would imagine they are.
If I put it locally and take my laptop to a client (without access to my home network) how will/what will I see in Aperture. Guess I'm worried how big the Library file will work.

if photos are referenced aperture will show you previews but you will not be able to make adjustments but will be able to work on metadata.
what I do, I have a small (satellite) aperture library inside my mbp for clients for exactly the same reason as you.
when I do meet with the client, I take the client dvd (actually 2 dvds one is a backup in case the first dvd gets injured we can still work -- they are only a first rough, removed all duds like out of focus etc) of photos with me for the meeting. I pretty much only show their photographs in aperture's full screen mode to wow them and I also make a slideshow of the 5 star (the winners) photos to show to the client with music. if off sight (not in studio) I tend to make the meetings at or after sunset for mood.
the main aperture library is on a separate external 7200rpm, 32mb cache, 1tb, esata/fw800 hard drive which I double click to work on in my studio.
btw, you can put a hitachi sata 200gb, 7200rpm, 16mb cache, hard drive on your mbp for more storage to replace the one it came with if it is a smaller drive or slower drive.
as an option I have a small 2.5 inch hitachi fw800/esata 200gb, 7200rpm, 16mb cache, external hard drive that I use only for media (photos, video, music) that is very portable. it's in a small plastic case and has a heat sink and is powered via fw800 to mbp. you can store an aperture library there also and it's fast.

Do I Need To Remount/Keep Mounted Airport USB Disk?

I have a Lacie HD connect to airport extreme and have mounted it on my desktop, designated it as m y Time Machine destination, and am in the process of the first 130gb back up. My question: do I have to have the Lacie mounted, on my desktop, for TM to find it/work in subsequent back up?
Thanks.

yes
