Trouble connecting to USB storage device on WRT160NL with Mac 0S X 10.5

I recently purchased a WRT160NL router with usb link for NAS storage and media server capabilities. Internet connectivity works fine and I can log in to change router settings with no probelm, but I can not connect to the usb drive that is connected to the router, when using my Mac with OS X 10.5. My XBox360 picks it up as a media server with no problems.
I followed the instructions on Linksys.com
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=16796
It appeared to work the first time, but then I ejected the network connections, admin and guest. It has not worked since.
I open my browser and paste smb://192.168.1.1 into the address bar and hit enter. Then I get an error message that reads:
Connection failed
There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.
I select ok and get another error message that says:
Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct.
I know that, according to Linksys, the next step is to put in name and password, but I never get that option.
I have also double checked the IP address to make sure it is correct, which it is.
I just want to be able to read and write media to the network drive from my laptop and play the media from my xbox360.
Can anyone help?

Thank you for your response.
So, when I go to http://192.168.1.1 I have no problem finding the drive under the storage tab. When going deeper into the settings it also shows all of the contents of that drive. So it is definitely connected to the router. Though I still cannot access it through smb://192.168.1.1.
And yes, the drive shows up as it should if it is plugged directly into my computer.
I powered the router down for about 10 or 15 minutes and powered it back up. Still having the same problem.
I believe the problem is with OS X 10.5 Leopard. The first time I tried this, when it appeared to work, I checked the box for remember my password. At the time it was still the default password. I changed the password since then, yet now I am not given an option to put in the password since Leopard tries to log me in automatically. I cannot find a way to undo that auto log in.
Of course I am not absolutely certain that is the problem, but if anyone knows how to undo the auto log in that might help.
Any ideas?

USB Storage devices not working with kernel in repositories [Solved]

I am experiencing a quite vexing problem with my USB Mass Storage devices, when I plug one in I get the following error in my dmesg:

In the /dev/ folder on the device shows up, not the partitions. When I try to open it with cfdisk I get "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive". I am pretty sure it iss neither a hardware problem with my laptop or my usb devices, as they both work on my dual-booted Ubuntu. My usb ports in general seem to be functioning, I can still charge a phone through them and use my built in USB webcam.
I am not sure where exactly this issue lies, it started after I upgraded to 3.0.7 (among other updates) from the normal repositories, but still persisted after I downgraded to 3.0.6.
My attempts at Googling have so far revealed mainly hardware errors, which don't seem to fit with the devices working on another OS on the same pc.
Thanks.

My new iPhone 5 won't connect to iTunes, and when I connect to my computer it comes up as a usb storage device, also in the phone itself under usage it shows internal memory of 2gb and sd card 64 gb, is this an original iPhone or have I been sold a copy

My new iphone 5 can not connect to itunes, it comes up as a usb storage device when I plug it in, also in the phone under settings/usage it shows internal memory of 2gb and SD card of 64gb, I cannot get it to connect to itunes at all so cannot sync etc, is this a genuine Iphone or a copy. I have owned 4 iphones and never had a problem with connecting to iphones and restoreing to a backup.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
It does not use SD cards.
Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
Cheers

I am trying to add music to my computer and then put it on a usb storage device

ok i havent used a computer in a very long time and the last time i did things seemed a whole lot easier. i got a new laptop for valentines day and i still aint figured this thing out. what i am trying to do is add all my music cds to my computer, make some playlists, then download the music to a usb storage device so i can have the music in my truck.
when i put a cd in my computer it pops up and it starts playing but i have no clue as what to do next. i have tried to make a playlist through the player that pops up and plays the music but aint having any luck. IM CLUELESS!!!! nothing ive tried has wroked, i need help please.
thank you in advance

Hi,
The below link shows how to create playlist in Itunes. Once the playlist is created, if you are using apple Ipod or any other apple product. Then once you connect the device it will start the sync with the device and then you can start playing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12340
If you are using another device, then please do mention the device to which you want to sync the music and which player are using on the system.

How to connect external storage devices (flash drive) with it

hello dear. I am using this hp webOS-3.0.5 device for last 8 months. It is really a wonderful device to have. But I have some queries regarding it's usage. First can we attach any usb device(external storage devices (flash drive) with it? Second is there any other way to use internet on it without wi-fi connection? Thanks
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I'm afraid the answer is No to both questions.
External storage can be acheived easily using the free 50GB Box.com account included with each touchpad. This does rely on a good wifi source however, which leads to your other question.
The wifi touchpad needs a wifi signal to go online. Modern cellphones can act as "wifi hotspots" and can translate a cellular data connection to wifi. (I do this with my Pre3 and a free program called "FreeTether", a homebrew app).

[solved] USB storage devices problem

Hello everyone. I have MSI Wind U270 and recently I've moved from Ubuntu 11.04 to Arch. I really like Arch so far but I have one quite big problem and I can't find any solution, so I hope someone here could help me.
After I'd installed Arch, I tried to copy some file from/to USB flash drive. After just few seconds, transfer failed with information about I/O errors and USB flash drive disappeared along with any other USB drives connected at the same time but logitech usb mouse and keyboard continue to work.
My first thought was that it's simply broken USB drive, but same thing was happening also when I tried to move some files from/to any other USB storage device that I have.
Here is sample dmesg output after I connect device:

Next I thought – computer is broken. But it simply couldn't be true because in Ubuntu it's working.
I wanted to test if USB transfer is working in other distros, so I downloaded few and tried:
Ubuntu 11.04 – everything is working
Ubuntu 11.10 – it's not working, exactly same errors as in Arch
Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 – it's not working
Mint 11 – it's working
Mint 12 – it's not working
So one thing in common that I can think of is fact that USB transfer is working in distros using kernel <3.0 and is broken in those using kernel >=3.0.
In dmesg output I can see ehci_hcd errors. When I remove this module before moving files, than everything is working fine apart from very slow transfer but it's obvious.
I really hope that someone will be able to help with my problem. I don't know if it's some bug or it's just some configuration error.
EDIT: problems were caused by rts5139 module (card reader). Blacklisting that module solved all the problems.

What USB storage devices have a block size of 512 bytes?

After pulling my hair out for weeks trying to get a usb hard drive to work with my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n), I ran across this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305038
AirPort Extreme (802.11n): USB storage device supported formats and protocols
You can connect USB-based storage devices to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n). Learn which formats and protocols are supported.
The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) supports USB storage devices that have a block size of 512 bytes, and are formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS-plus), FAT16, or FAT32. Not all USB storage devices use a block size of 512 bytes.
The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) shares storage devices based on the format used to initialize the storage device. For example, if HFS-plus formatting was used, AFP and SMB/CIFS protocols are used to share the device on the network. If FAT16 or FAT32 was used, SMB/CIFS protocols are used.
The AirPort Extreme (802.11n) works with disks that have a single partition and are not software RAID volumes (no more than one volume per physical disk). If the disk is a self-contained RAID that presents itself to a computer as a single volume requiring no software support, then it is supported.
Note: Use AirPort Disk Utility to discover and mount AirPort Extreme-based volumes over the network.
Now, this information is not easily obtainable while
shopping for a new usb hard drive. How do I find out which
ones support this 512 byte block size????
Would have bee nice to know that not all usb hard drives
are supported by the AirPort Extreme (802.11n) before I
purchased it.
Thanks
J Riley

Duane posted a link to an unofficial 802.11n Airport Extreme Hard Drive Compatibility List.

Still not enough information to make an informed purchase that
will work.

[solved] usb-storage-devices (sticks) are not longer mapped via citrix

Hello,
at work we have linux-clients (Arch, Plasma5, updated weekly) connected to a computing center (Win 2008 Servers) via citrix-receiver. In the past, usb-storage-devices were mapped, so we could acces them in Win. Now, they are not longer mapped. I can't say, since when. USB-Sticks are not in daily use. The computing center says, nothing has been changed there. So can someone help me to fix this issue?

Computer thinks i pod is a data usb storage device

Had to change the i pod into a data retrival. Done this enable disk use. Now i tunes wont find the i pod atall updating etc the module is there but the computer thinks its a usb storage device. I pod under edit prefrences is saying that no i pod conneced. Done a restore on i pod and used the updater. Uninstalled i tunes and installed it again and again. Orange lights and green lights are flashing on my i pod its locked me out of it. Why if ive restored it to factory settings wont it let me use it for music and not data retrival storage. Ive done a add hardware wizard it simply says usb storage device and not i pod which is what it has to be to get music. Ive looked for options on i tunes for the i pod and the icons gone so i cannot untick enable disk use. All usb hubs are working i am at a total loss at what to do please someone help me out thanks mr d roberts

That's exactly what mine said. Tried to uninstall completely and reinstall, and it still didn't work. Apple tech told me to take it to apple service centre. Take a look at my post.

What exactly is your 'mass USB device', and how is it formatted? When you connect it to your MBA, does it show up on the desktop?

Can't connect to USB Storage on WRT610N

I'm using Windows Vista and I can't connect to my USB storage device connected to my WRT610N. Following the instructions provided, I select Network from the Start Menu. The instructions read to select WRT610N from the computer category and not from the network infrastructure categoy. WRT610N is visible. When selected the Connect to WRT610N username and password window appear. I type my current router password and the Okay button remains grayed out. The window remains reading Connecting to WRT610N with no progress.
How do I connect.

Auto-mounting USB storage devices doesn't work

Hi all,
I have some problems with the auto-mounting of USB storage devices. I already installed udisks and ntfs-3g.
When I connect the external device (it's an external hard disk WD My Passport 500GB, but I have the same problem with a SanDisk USB stick 8GB) the auto-mount doesn't work. I see a shorcut in the left panel of Thunar but if I try to use it Thunar crash without any message error.
I try with the manual mount and it works, but the left panel of Thunar continue to have the same problem.
In the italian Arch forum a friend suggest me to open Thunar from bash and close it. If I do it I receive this error log:
$ thunar
thunar: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt14error_categoryD2Ev, version GLIBCXX_3.4.15
and this is the reply of dmesg command:

Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you very much,
Gianluca

Are you using [testing]? Partially updated system?
The error looks like you have a different version of gcc-libs / glibc than the app was built against.

Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Block USB Storage devices @ User Level Not getting applied on a Domain Client machine with Windows Server 2008 R2. Why?

Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have configured the Group Policy on it to block the usage of USB - Storage Devices @ user level on the client machines. It works properly for my Windows 7 client machines but it's not working on one of the machine having Windows Server 2008 R2 installed
on it (this machine is also a domain client in the same domain).
I will really be thankful if anyone can suggest some solution to this issue.
Please feel free to write back in-case I have missed anything obvious to be shared.
Thanks!

USB storage devices not being recognised

Product:
13" Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display (Late 2013 model)
OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.2)
2.4GHz i5, 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3, 256gb HDD
Issue:
- macbook unable to recognise USB storage devices.
- can be found on disk utility but 'greyed out'.
- cannot be found under devices in finder.
- tried restarting laptop, no effect.
- additional storage via Nifty + 64gb micro SD is working fine.
- apple products (iPod/iPhone/iPad) and printer/scanner working fine, only storage devices appear to be affected.
- USB-ethernet adapter appears to be working w/o problems too.
- last technical thing done to the computer was SMC reset 5 days ago for power cable light not working properly (fixed with reset).
Hello everyone,
I seem to having some issues with my macbook and the ability to use USB storage devices. The SD card slot appears to be working fine as I have a nifty device attached on. I'm not sure exactly when this started to happen but it was working last week for sure.
I've put some succinct notes above for anyone who is willing to help out and is able to use it to determine the problem but I don't think it's a hardware issue. Maybe it's a bug with the new OS X update over the weekend?
I've attached a screenshot of the disk utility below as well.
If anyone could help me out then that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Some users on another Apple thread had success in running Kext Utility last November with similar issues.
I ran kext utility 2.6.1, restarted my computer and everything was working again.
