Seeing CONTENTS of Airport disk in Snapfish (Java or Active X???)

So I can access and use the airport disk from Windows Explorer.
From within the www.snapfish.com "picture upload chooser" I can see the disk, but can't see any files (or more important sub directories) within the file browser in the web pop-up from snapfish (Firefox).
Any ideas would be appreciated
-Kevin
P.S. on my MacBook also with Firefox the airport disk is entirably usable, the problem there is that it only lets you choose one image at a time to upload as opposed to all images in the directory (like a local disk on windows)so if anyone has any ideas there that is an alternative...

So, I tried resetting the AEBS and that worked for a day. Then it went back to the error. I was booted and I still cannot connect to my Airdisk. Never had this problem in 10.6.x. Any thoughts?
This problem is just for connection to the directory, not for backing up.

  • Can't see content in AirPort Disks

    I have three LaCie drives connected to my TC via a USB hub. The drives mount OK but I can not see any contents (0 items) though the space available is correct. I suspect this is an issue with permissions but am not sure what permissions I need to change. Using AirPort Utility, under the Disks tab>File Sharing I have enabled file sharing with Secure Shared Disks set to "With Accounts".
    If I select one of the drives and do a Get Info the owner is system (read and write), Group is wheel (read and write) and Others read and write. I have tried applying the permissions to enclosed items but this does not reveal the contents....
    Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Tony

    As a follow up, I can copy files onto the AirPort Disks so I guess the problem is that the files on these drives are not recognised as belonging to me (I guess external drives do not normally have specific owners). I guess that I will have to connect each drive to my machine directly and change the owner to my name, will this resolve the issue?? The negative of this would be that no one else would be able to connect.
    My assumption in all of this is that AirPort Disks are only useful if you start off with an empty drive.

  • Can see contents of remote disk, but can't see it's contents

    Hi community.
    My configuration: MBA 13" (late 2010) and a Win7 computer with a DVD drive. Done everything as described in this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
    On MBA, I see the entry "Remote disk" on the sidebar, i see my Win7 PC in the list.
    But when I expand it, the contents are empty (a dvd is inside and I can see it both by file sharing and by RDP on Windows)
    What do I do wrong? Tx in advance

    I can see the Windows PC, but I cant see the drive.
    So I only can do a 'Get info' on the PC and it says 'PC server'

  • Can't see content of Airport USB drive.

    Just got my MacBook Air.
    I have set up a USB drive on my AEBS, which I can access just fine via my old MacBook.
    On my new MB Air, I can see the base station in the finder side bar. When selected I can see the name of the drive. When selected, I cannot see any files or folders on that drive. I can't read or write.
    How should I set up the MB Air to allow full access to the Airport USB drive?
    -Ron.

    I'm having the same issues. Random folders throughout the server are not displaying their content. I can see the contents of these folders in Tiger, just not leopard.
    I'm connecting to a Windows 2003 Server with Service Pack 2 using SMB, not AFP like Taliesin above.

  • Apple TV streaming content from Airport disk through iTunes?

    Hi everyone, I'm considering getting an Apple TV for the following setup:
    iTunes library on an external USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme (802.11n), streaming to Apple TV via my MacBook (2.16 Core 2 Duo).
    My only concern is, since this is all wireless, if I'll have problems with bandwidth or if it'll be fast enough, even for HD video?
    Thanks!

    Bandwidth is not your problem, the interface between any networked storage and the network is significantly slower than say the FW interface between your MB and an external HDD, which would be the ideal set up.
    You may find that data transfer to and from the networked drive is limited to something like 20 Mbps. However this should in theory be more than adequate since the tv only requires up to 5 Mbps but will ideally accept data at around 14 Mbps.
    Some have reported issues with such a set up but many have reported that their set up is just fine. I find likely that there are other factors involved when people have issues.

  • Airport Disk Utility- where is it?

    Hey gang-
    I just bought an external USB drive to connect to my new Gigabit Airport Extreme, so experimenting with AirDisk for the first time. I kept seeing references to "Airport Disk Utility" in some messages, but I realize now I don't have it. I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 and the latest Airport Utility and Airport firmware. I looked in my Utilities and Applications folder and searched Spotlight as well. I ran the Airport installer disk as well when I first bought it. I definitely don't have it.
    So where exactly is Airport Disk Utility supposed to come from?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    OK, so that answers one question. I just bought a USB hard drive and have connected it to my Airport Extreme and it was not automatically mounting. Found articles in Apple Support directing me to this utility which did not exist on my computer (Macbook Pro).
    So, is there a way to get this to automatically mount? I was able to manually mount it via finder/go/servers, then inputting the address as 10.0.1.1 and selecting the desired partition.
    What I did with the drive was first connect it directly, then I partitioned it using default settings (Extended/Journaled, I believe) and what I'd love to see is one of the partitions automatically mount when I am connected to this network. Is that possible? I’d rather not have to do it manually every time.

  • Airport Disk Utility Doesn't See External Drive, But Airport Utility Does?

    Hey! I am a recent Apple convert and just got a brand new MacBook and Airport Extreme. I am trying to get my Maxtor OneTouch 320GB HDD to work with the Extreme, but to no avail. The Airport Utility sees my HDD, but the Airport Disk Utility doesn't? Any hints/tips on how to fix this problem? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    All I can think of is that the drive is formatted in NTFS which I have heard cannot be read by the AEBS(Airport Extreme Base Station), but I am confirming this right now in a different message. If you can copy the files, format your drive in HFS+(the Mac's standard file system), then reload the files. See if it works and reply back.

  • Airport Extreme & Airport Disk - How to See on VPN?

    I use VPN to access my office network when traveling. On the network is a new Airport Extreme, with a disk attached.
    The disk is of course visible and mountable when in the office.
    However when logged in via VPN, I cannot see or find the disk anywhere.
    Any suggestions?

    What VPN and what version # of the VPN client do
    you
    have?
    Using the VPN client in Apple Internet Connect (L2TP)
    I am assuming you can connect through the VPN, but you cannot see the disk, right?
    If that is the case, how are you trying to access the disk? Through the finder?
    Also, did you "Allow configuration over the WAN port" on the Airport Utility Base Station screen?

  • Can see but not browse to Airport disk, also cannot print in Bonjour

    I suspect this may be related to a firewall issue or perhaps the way my corporate PC is set up (logged into Domain with VPN to Internet. What else might cause:

  • Can't see contents of USB hard drive connected to Time Capsule

    Hi. I have a USB hard drive connected to my Time Capsule (which I just got today). I just want to use it as a shared drive, so that the users in my home can use it to access common files (media files, stuff like that).
    The TC's set up is to enable file sharing with accounts. AirPort Disk Guest Access is not allowed.
    When I authenticate as a user via Finder I can see the disk, see that disk space has been used, but can't see the contents. I'm guessing this is because the files that are actually on there belong to some other user.
    Is my guess right? Any suggestions as to how we can all use it as a transfer drive?
    Col

    Fixed it. I connected the USB drive directly to my computer, and dragged the folder into the 'Shared' folder, which Time Capsule had created. The original folder is now visible, which is what I wanted!

  • Can't copy large files to AirPort Disk Using Windows 7

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm positng because I'm unable to copy large files to an AirPort Disk using Windows 7.  I have the following setup.
    AirPort Extreme:
    - Firmware version: 7.6.1
    - Airport disks secured by password
    - No guest access allowed
    - Airport Disk Preferences:
      - Automatically discover airport disks is enabled
      - Show Airport Disks in the system tray is enabled
    External Drive:
    - Western Digital 500 GB MyBook External Drive connected to Airport Extreme thru USB
    - FAT32 Formated
    Computers:
    - 2 Toshiba Proteges, Both with 4GB RAM
    - Both have Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1, 64-bit version
    - (Sorry we have no MacBooks at home, just iPhones and iPods!)
    Airport Utility:
    - Version  5.6.1
    Airport Disk Preferences Utility:
    - Version  1.5.5.3
    A week ago, I was able to copy over large files (videos <4GB in size) to the drive.  Now, when I try to copy over these large files to the drive, the copy dialog box hangs.  I receive a message stating that Windows is calculating the size, but then it doesn't copy over.  Windows then gives me a message that it is unable to copy to the drive.  When I test the drive connection by copying a small text file over, it copies over quickly and seamlessly.  This problem occurs on both computers.
    I am able to do the following with the drive connection:
    - Read files
    - Change file names
    - Copy files from the drive to my computer
    - See the contents of drive
    I've tried all the combinations of the following with no success:
    - Turning off Windows Search
    - Downgrading the firmware
    - Reconfiguring wireless adapter
    - Rebooting computer
    - Rebooting wireless router
    - Rebooting external drive
    The drive seems to be working fine except for when I want to copy <2GB files over to the drive.  Does anyone have a solution that seems to work?
    Thanks!

    I'm happy to report that, after reformatting the drive to HFS+ (aka Mac OS Extended), there are no problems writing/copying large or small files to the AirDisk drive.  I'm also happy to report that I am copying to the drive at a rate of roughly 4MB/s.
    As I mentioned earlier, the only catch is that I am unable to plug the external drive directly into a Windows computer via the USB port as Windows is unable to read HFS+ formatted drives.  (I can, however, plug the drive into a Mac computer as they can read HFS+ formatted drives.  The only problem is that I don't own any Macs at this time!  LOL!)
    You're probably wondering how I formatted the external drive to HFS+ since I don't own any Macs.  (Windows only allows you to format drives in exFAT, FAT, NTFS and the like.)  That is a good question.  Basically, I downloaded an open source formatting tool called, Gparted, which allows you to format any USB drive to any major file format system.  Since Gparted is an open source tool, it is a little cumbersome to use. Once you figure out how to use it, it is a cinch to format the drive to HFS+.  (Of course, an easier method would be to borrow a friend's mac, plug the drive into their mac, and format it to HFS+ using their mac.)
    For a step-by-step guide on how to solve this problem, see the steps below:
    1) Backup all data from external drive
        a) Fortunately, I have a 1TB ultraportable USB drive which has enough space to backup all data on the drive
    2) Format the external drive to HFS+ using one of the methods below
        a) Plug it into a Mac and format it
         b) Use Gparted (free) to format it
    3) Plug the drive back into the Airport Extreme
    4) Start copying files over to your networked drive!
    I hope this helps you! Cheers!

  • Files/folders not showing up with Airport Disk but are there?

    I've recently bought the Airport Extreme, I was all excited about Airport Disk but there is a weird, extremly annoying bug.
    On my USB hard drive connected using Airport Disk, I have a folder called music. When I open this folder, OS X starts reading the directory and files/folders show up one by one, but then it just all disappears - and the folder shows nothing. In Windows, it shows nothing at all in the folder. However, when I reconnect the drive using USB to my MacBook Pro, all my music is there and I can see all the files.
    I have a feeling this is something to do with this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305040
    as I have German and Japanese music files imported by iTunes which are not named in English (ie the filenames are encoded in Japanese etc etc)
    Another strange thing is, in Windows, if I type the direct path to a folder (which is inside the supposed empty folder) I will be able to access it.
    What's going on Apple?...
    Anyone else got this issue?...
    Thanks
    macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi Everyone,
    I was experiencing the same. on the XP box it just wouldnt show anything period and on the Mac, the finder would briefly display the contents of the drive before disappearing. Spoke to Tier 2 and they thought I should reformat the drive, since he thought it likely that due to severing the drives connection that the format was corrupt...
    I did manage to fix it myself and I'll tell you how. First I hardwired the drive via USB to the Mac. noticed an item called FROM which had no size, no date modified and type was --. I deleted the RECYCLED folder (which results when you delete something from the drive thru XP)
    then i hardwired it to the PC. deleted the "FROM" folder which in this case was a file folder, and 237MB approx in size. I also deleted the ".DSStore" and ".Trashes" files. .DSStore is basically the icon cache and .Trashes is when you delete something on the airdisk from the Mac. reconnected the drive and POOF! it worked Problem is now solved.
    So to summate, i think in my case it was more the discrepancy between the FROM not showing up as anything on the Mac, versus it being a full fledged folder to windows xp. i just thought i would pass this along...

  • Airport disk just stopped working after Leopard install

    My airport disk worked perfectly in Tiger. After installing Leopard i can see airport disks in the finder but when i try to see contents the system hangs up for a few seconds and then i get a message "can't connect to disk" or something similar. I tried reinstalling airport software from cd, upgrading firmware of airport extreme, deleting keys from keychain but still don't work. Any experience?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This could be related to an authentication issue,could you try to change the authentication of the disk to "With a disk password" or "With base station password" on the disk pane of the airport utility (into the file sharing tab)?
    Regards

  • Time Machine backing up an Airport Disk

    I've read that Time Machine will back up mac journaled formated external drives, unless you exclude them. That's all well and good, but my situation is a little different. Here's my setup.
    15" MBP, 120GB HDD
    AEBS
    RAID 0 1TB WD My Book Pro II drive on the network as an airport disk.
    500 GB WD Pro drive on firewire 800.
    The 500 gig is going to be used as my *time machine* drive. The *1TB Airport Disk* drive is mostly media. The only thing I want backed up is some important document folders as well as my music folder. But when I go to exclude the folders I don't want backedup on my 1TB airport disk drive, I find that the entire contents of the drive isn't selectable to be excluded. I don't really have any space on my internal drive to store these files. All drives are mac journal extended formatted.

    UPDATE
    I tried using iTimeMachine to see if it will allow Time Machine to access my AP Disk. I believe it just runs the terminal command that activates the default setting for Time Machine and network compatibility. Either way, when opening up Time Machine's preferences, I now see my 1TB drive as a drive I can back up to. However, unlike the thousands of threads out there, I don't want to back up to it, I want to back up some folder from it. As usual, when opening up the exclusion options, all of the folders on my AP Disk are greyed out, which tells me that Time Machine won't back up that disk.
    Thoughts?
