TC w/ attached Hard Drives - Issues with file sharing to XBOX running XBMC

I am trying to use my newly purchased TC as a NAS. I have attached two hard drives via a USB port. I haven't had any issues viewing this drives from my primary machine (Macbook). However, when I tried to access the drives on my modded Xbox, I have had difficulty viewing the shared drives. XBMC (media center client on Xbox) supports the following network shares:
* 2.1 Windows Sharing (SMB) on Mac OS X
* 2.2 UPnP Sharing
* 2.3 The XBMS Protocol
* 2.4 iTunes (DAAP)
I am wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge about what the TC uses to share with a windows computer? Do you feel there is a way to share the drives using one of these protocols. Thanks.

Are you the same person who asked this question on the xbmc forum? Have you tried accessing TC via the open server function? See this link
http://www.maclife.com/forums/topic/104406
If you have a PC you could try (from windows explorer)
\\192.168.x.y
or whatever IP is listed in the TC utility. If you change everything to allow guest access it might help troubleshoot. I don't have a TC but have been thinking of getting one (or an AEBS since it now supports airdisk better than before it seems). If this works with XBMC then it will push me more towards getting it I think!

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Yes, BUT...
... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
Matt

No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

Issues with file sharing after changing password

Last night I changed my system password on my MacBook Pro and for some reason it caused some issues with my file sharing with my windows PC.
I was able to finally get the notebook to connect again to the XP PC shared documents by going through finder to go to network and then connected. But the PC would not see the notebook. Everything was communicating fine when I first got the system two weeks ago.
Tech support did what they could tonight and I finally just decided to set up a connection to my notebook by entering the notebooks ip address on the pc.
It's alte and sorry for the rambling, but does anyone know why the pc (as well as others in the house) no longer see the notebook?

External Hard Drive Issue - Jumbled Files!

Hi all,
I've been having a problem with my external hard drive jumbling files. This has happened to me on two different computers and with two different external hard drives, so I know it is not an isolated issue. Let me explain:
I notice the problem most when I am recording in Logic. I will save a song with the files all on the external drive. Then, when I go to open the song later, some sound clips have different clips in the spot where they were supposed to be! For instance, A file might have originally been named "Sound Recording #24" and it says the same thing above the waveform in Logic, but it now has a different clip inside of it!
So then I go to the finder and bring up my external drive, and here's where the crazy part happens. I click my audio files folder and see my list of audio files. but once I click on the track 24... it instantly switches to a different file name! It only happens with certain files, but when I click it, they switch instantaneously to something else! It is bizarre, and is almost as if the data is jumbled on the drive so it can't figure out what I'm clicking on!
This is making me really nervous because it is ruining audio projects that I have worked very hard on! It has been doing this on my Intel MacBook as well as my G4 Quicksilver. I had the same thing happen with both a Western Digital MyBook drive, and a Maxtor drive.
Has this happened to anyone, and does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Nate
MacBook and Power Mac G4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If the errors occur only while using the Logic it may just be application specific - try posting in this forum as well...

Hard drive issues with early 2011 13" please help!

Hello everyone,
I'm new here but I need immediate help! I'll try to make the story somewhat short:
I have a macbook pro early 2011 13".
- Closed my lid one day (I did not make any changes or installed anything new recently) and upon reopening many hours later, the system was frozen.
- Did a hard shut off and upon turning it on, I get the crossed out circle.
- Recovery HD also gave me the same crossed out circle.
- Used internet recovery and formatted/partitioned the drive.
(Note that the drive in the bay at the moment is a Kingston HyperX SSD, not the OEM Samsung HD as I am actually using that as my secondary hard drive in my CD drive bay, which has been working fine the entire time before and during everything)
- Tried to reinstall Lion from internet recovery but it wouldn't detect the SSD.
- Strange, so I decided to install Lion onto an external hard drive and installed Mavericks onto the internal drive from there, successfully too.
- Same results (crossed out circle) upon booting into the internal drive (likewise for the recovery HD).
- I pulled out the drive and popped it into an enclosure and it could boot up from there.
- Took it a step further and purchased an additional SSD, partitioned it and installed Mavericks on it via the external hard drive (not the SSD in the enclosure)
- I can boot up from the new SSD, however it is extremely sluggish and freezes every few seconds with the spinning beach ball.
I am about to reinstall a newly downloaded copy of Mavericks onto the new SSD to see if it will fix the issue (which I doubt)
Could it be a problem with the drives or is it the SATA cable that is malfunctioning?
I'm not sure whether or not it is worth spending so much time repairing it because I've already spent a good three or four days getting this far.
Are the parts, repairs, hard drive replacements worth it or should I just replace it?

Did you format the external drive for use with OS X?
Open Disk Utility. Does Disk utility see the connected drive?
Format it to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

I am having a hard drive issue with code 4MEM/6/4000000:6x7a5db418. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

I recently ran the Utility Disk and was verifying the Hard Drive due to some permission issues and found a problem. It told me to run the application startup disk to do another diagnostic which I did. It confirmed there is an issue and gave me the following code = 4MEM/6/4000000:6x7a5db418. What does this code mean and how can I go about fixing the problem? Any wisdom with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the meanings to those codes are not made public and only Apple certified technicians have access to them.

Internal hard drive issue with Mac Pro

I work for two office that share information through a VPN. Each office has one Mac Pro being used as a server for data storage. The Pros have four internal hard drives (1TB each).
Hard drives in the Pro for OFFICE 1 were configured like so:
HD1 - OS/Boot drive
HD2 - Time Machine backup of HD1/DATA1/DATA2
DATA1 - Data storage
DATA2 - Data storage
Three weeks ago: Time Machine could not find HD2 and could not backup. I rebooted the machine and HD2 reappeared. However, after the reboot, DATA1 did not mount. I was unable to find DATA1 in Disk Utility. However, the drive could be accessed by all other Macs on the network. This machine was taken to the local Apple Store and we were told that HD2 was a bad drive and need to be replaced. We opted not to replaced the drive at this time and turned Time Machine backups off. We haven't had any problems with DATA1 since. (NOTE: During the weeks prior, the client machines intermittently lost connection with DATA1 and would have to reconnect)
Last week: OFFICE 2 - Mac Pro hard drives configured the same as OFFICE 1; however, HD2 was not used for TM backups. TM was turned on and set to backup HD1/DATA1/DATA2 to HD2 (exactly like OFFICE 1). The next day, TM could not find HD2 and backups stopped running. I rebooted the machine, HD2 reappeared, but we did not restart the TM backups.
Today: OFFICE 2 client machines have experienced intermittent disconnecting of DATA1.
I wasn't extremely concerned with the situation at OFFICE 1 as these Pros are almost five years old and in constant use. We plan on purchasing an external drive for the TM backups. HOWEVER, with a similar situation now being experienced in OFFICE 2, I am perplexed.
Could both machine be experiencing hard drive failures weeks apart? They were both purchased and installed at the same time.
Is there a known issue with TM and internal drives?
One difference between the two machines: OFFICE 1 is running OS X 10.8.5; OFFICE 2 runs 10.6.8
Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Thanks!

Relying on TimeMachine has some issues, along with only having one, I use at least two swapping TimeMachine so that they rotate AND I clone every drive (volume actually) so I can swap drives if need be, especially useful for t he system but good for any drive.
Power issues in t he buildings?
There are some programs that will scan for and report and./or attempt to reassign a failing sector ("fail" is qualitative, is 10 write failures a fail? then the 9th is not but it is a "weak sector.") Some run in the background.
Mirror can be 2 or 3 ( I prefer 3, that way if one fails I STILL have a mirror array in place) where any failure is not acceptable, AND where the array data is backed up usually - less important when using a three-drive configurations.
How old, when last initialized (zero), and is it showing spare blocks being used? that last is the most indicative of failed drive.
Rare but a bad SATA cable or power (seeing how the cables are tucked away) is only way generally for multiple failures in same drive bay or computer. Note: early on in 2006-7 there were reports of some customers having motherboard and trouble with a drive bay , and t he problems showed up early.
Often though it is NVRAM or SMC related issue trigged by something else, a USB cable or device that is faulty, even a PCIe controller that is the culprit. And replacing cable, keyboard, device, and resetting SMC and NVRAM (often NVRAM needed to be done multiple times, but never keep resetting SMC) - unplugged and when you connect back up, do not install anything other than system, keyboard and mouse and see if that helps.
With a drive, likely the drive in 85% or more, is fine, but the directory is not, or it needs to be erased to rebuild all the system partitions.
1TB is small for TimeMachine. 350% of the amount of data, and always have free space for a full backup set of all the data. T.M. will try and prefers to automatically backup any and everything plugged in and connected, rather than my preference which is ASK FIRST to add a drive to TM backup set, otherwise leave it out. 600GB of data and system would mean 2.5TB drive, maybe 2TB minimum.

Macbook Air's hard drive full with files under the 'other' category - how do I find these files and delete them?

A few days ago a pop up message came up on my screen saying that my hard drive was full, and that I could not install valuable updates because I did not have enough space on my computer. I checked my computer's storage space only to find that 18.22GB of my hard drive was filled with files/programs under the 'other' category. I have deleted all my downloads, most of my pictures and have done virus scans and I still don't have enough room. How do I find out what is in this 'other' category so that I can delete these files (which seem to be hidden) or whatever they may be?

1. Empty Trash.

Hard drive issues with new imac 27 inch empty space being eaten up

Hi There
I have been having a strange problem with my new imac . Ever since i got it the hard drive has been making sounds even when i have not been using the computer . It sounds as if it is loading a file . I looked at disk activity in activity monitor and it showed that the disk was being written to every few seconds . Then out of curiosity I did a get info on the disk and happened to notice that every few seconds approximately 500k gets written to the disk .
Can I some how track these writes , to determine which process is causing them?
Can't imagine it being a virus since it's been happening since i took it out of box .
Any ideas ?
Thanks for the help
Mrfish

If your machine is brand new, it could be Spotlight indexing your drive. If so, it's nothing to worry about and it will subside soon.
Here is some info about Spotlight that goes beyond what's available in OS X Help:

Hard drive issues with my macbook pro

I have replaced my hard drive twice in 2 months. The beach ball continues to spin and I am concerned that this new hard drive will fail like the others! I am not getting anywhere with Apple support. They continue to tell me it is just the hard drive. Can't believe it anymore. I am ******!!
Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks

I want to know if someone else has had this issue?
Why would that matter? If you had it replaced twice in two months, it's highly unusual. If it happens a third time, Apple will probably take a commensurately unusual interest in your Mac. Perhaps they overlooked an underlying cause, such as a damaged cable connecting the drive to the logic board.
Whether it fails again tomorrow or ten years from now, if you value the information it contains, you need a backup strategy. All you need to buy is an external hard disk. They're very inexpensive.
The slow Mail performance you describe may have been a symptom of the disk's impending failure.

Firewire external hard drive issue with 10.9.3

Hello,
i have got a question to the existing firewire bug in Mavericks! My thought was, that with 10.9.3 all would be better, but that´s not true.
My Firewire drive does not spin down for sleep, when my iMac goes to sleep. Does anyone know, if there is a solution or, better, when there would be
a solution? - I do have to downgrade my Mac, if there is no better solution than unplugging the drive. It´s enough annoying, that my printer and my scanner do not work properly. But unplugging the drive everytime i leave, would then be my "cherry on the cake" which brings me to the question, why i have a mac?!
I tought windows is the only system, that is compounded by its own updates and upgrades ...
Thanks so far!

Have you tried opening your project through your external hard drive. Go into it, open the file Final Cut Projects
and double click your project. It should launch it.
I also use an external hardrive and that is what I did. Has been fine ever since.
Final Cut Pro X on the other hand is so slow that is is not even usable. I get the spinning beach ball if I even try and move my cursor!!!

EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ISSUES WITH ITUNES

I originally installed my entire ITUNES library (MP3 format) of music (6000 songs, 50GB)on my "G" drive which is a Western Digital 160GB hard drive. My IPOD software and ITUNES software are on my laptop "C" Drive. After a recent move and re-install of all of the same hardware, somehow now my IPOD and ITUNES cannot find the music library, so when I did a sync, I lost everything from my IPOD. I think I have the IPOD sofware looking in the right place in PREFERENCES, but am not sure whether I now have all the folders set up right in both drives. I ended up downloading all new IPOD and ITUNES software from apple thinking that would help...maybe I just made it worse. I'm willing to pay for someone to help me restore this to the way it has always worked satisfactorily. Perhaps we can do it over the phone? Thanks in advance!

OK what should be in the My Music>iTUnes folder is the "iTUnes Music Library.xml" and "iTUnes Library.itl" file. these are itunes database files, more about them can be read here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
What you can try to do is recreate the library and see if that brings it back http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 Also look on your external drive, hopfully you backed the xml file up there

Is there a faulty hard drive issue with MacBook Pros recently? (I say recent, mine was bought about a year ago)

The reason I am wondering is because previously my MacBook Pro crashed and failed to load past the white screen with the logo and a spinning disk.
So after googling the problem, fiddling about in recovery mode (which is pointless given I know next to nothing about computers), I went to an Apple Dealer
and they very kindly re-installed OS X Lion for me, because the hard drive had decided to play up.
Now, I am again facing problems with my hard drive, after both Safari and iTunes crashed. After this Safari refused to open and I restarted several times before a loading bar appeared at the white logo w. spinning disk screen, and after the loading bar filled my mac finally managed to open Safari, albeit minus the close tab 'x', only now, it is also claiming there isn't enough memory to open iTunes (there is, almost 7 GB of free RAM) and after installing ClamXav and Sophos and finidng no viruses, I ran Disk Utility which informed me after I had verified the disk that I need to run in recovery mode using another disk (which, I don't have. My family has another mac running Snow Leopard and I have no disk for OS X Lion... or would an external hard drive do?) and that I need to repair the disk using Disk Utility.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated
Additionally, a program that I have called Sibelius also plays up at around about the same time that the disk keeps crashing. Could this be the cause...?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As far as I know, I haven't noticed any problem with the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro about their hard disks. All hard disks fail with their use, but it looks like the hard disks you had on your Mac were defective (at least, the last one). If the hard disk was replaced recently, you should be able to take it and they should repair it for free, or at least, that's what Apple does on Apple Stores
