Unable to access Airport Extreme under Mac OS 10.6.7

Strange problem. I'm able to access the Internet, but can't access my Airport Extreme using Airport Utility under Mac OS 10.6.7.

Did you power cycle the entire network? It's always a good idea after any update.
Try this, if you haven't already done so:
Power everything down on the entire network, order is not important
Wait a moment and start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up

Unable to access Airport Extreme Disk With Vista

I have a network with a Mac Book Pro, G5, and now a Vista PC all connected to an Airport Extreme. Connected to the AE are a printer and two harddrives. The harddrives are formatted HFS+ Journaled. All three computers have access to the Internet and to the printer. The Vista computer is unable to access the harddrives (most of the time). Prior to the Vista machine I had an XP Pro machine that was able to access the AE without any problems at all. The Vista machine will occasionally be able to access the drives but only for approximately 60 seconds. Access, when it does occur, is typically after a reboot of the AE. Following a reboot, I can map the AE drives to drive letters or simply access them from networking for from IE.
I've tried turning off the Windows firewall as well as the McAfee one and still no solution.
I've tried everything I can think of as well as scanned message boards to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

am having similar problems with USB drive connected to airport extreme. I tried with a usb key and it can only be seen by the airport base station agent and computers on the network if it is formatted using FAT32 file system. if I use any other file system to format the usb key, it cannot be seen. I have some external hard drives that windows will not allow me to to format using fat32. they are NTFS formatted and are not usable.
You might try formatting your drives in FAT32 if you can, after backing up all the files you have on the drive. then see if it works.

Airport Extreme + MBP + Mac Mini

hi all. i am really not into networks that much. so forgive me if i sound like a 5 year old. (nowadays even 5 year olders are experts anyway). i have an airport extreme and a macbook pro and a mac mini wirelessly connected to it. Mac mini has external hdd attached to itself and uses as it's time capsule. I've attached another one to the airport extreme as a time capsule for the mbp. the thing is i cannot access the hdd attached to the airport extreme by any means. and the airport extreme itself does not recognize the drive either. if i attach it to the mbp it is recognized and the system asks if i want to use it as a time capsule. but when i attach it to the airport extreme, even in the airport utility>disks tab i dont see it. and in finder i do not see my airport extreme under the shared on the left column. but the mbp and the mac mini are visible to each other. i'd appreciate if anybody can give me a heads up on this.
the os is 10.7.3

I've attached another one to the airport extreme as a time capsule for the mbp. the thing is i cannot access the hdd attached to the airport extreme by any means. and the airport extreme itself does not recognize the drive either
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, so that might explain some of the difficulty here.
Some users seem to be able to make this work, while some have only some success and some (like me) have no success despite repeated attempts.
If you want to try this anyway, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and a powered USB hub is often required for the hard drive.....even if it has its own power supply.

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

When connected to NETGEAR WNR1000, I can't remotely access Airport Extreme attached hard drive.

I have a hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme at home and I am staying at a friend's place where I am connecting to the Internet via a NETGEAR WNR1000 router (which is routing a broadband-cable connection from Comcast Xfinity).
When I am connected directly to the cable modem, the Airport Extreme's drives shows up in my Finder but when I'm connected via the NETGEAR router it doesn't show up.
There must be some setting in the NETGEAR router that is blocking access but I've not got clue one what setting I need to adjust or change on the router.
Could someone please advise me?

I checked the NETGEAR router settings and it was not configured to block any services or sites. I did as you advised and set up Port Mapping/Forwarding from 548 to the IP assigned to my Mac but nothing showed up in the Finder (no Shared Devices etc).
I then connected directly to the cable modem via ethernet and Shared Devices showed up in my Finder window with my Airport Extreme. I connected to one of the drives connected to the AEBSn, then unplugged the ethernet and connected the NETGEAR back to the cable modem and thus my MacBook Pro was connected via WiFi to the NETGEAR router and to the Internet.
Shared Devices disappeared from my Finder window, BUT the HD I had connected to remained connected. It was listed under my MacBook Pro's name (3rd item after the local HD, "Network"). The icon is a blue and white drive with the WiFi logo on it.
I verified that I could access the files on this remotely connected drive and did a Get Info and in the window that popped up it said "Server: afp://MilkBar._afpovertcp._tcp.malckwan.members.mac.com/Untitled%2001".
I tried to use the Connect To (Cmd-K) to connect to another drive attached to the AEBSn (Untitled%2002) using the same formatted address but could not connect.
PS. I did verify that I was mapping Port 548 to the current IP assigned to the MacBook Pro.

CANNOT ACCESS AIRPORT EXTREME after reload opsys

I'm using macbook 10.4.10 and my safari browser started blowing out whenever I tried to watch a YouTube video. As soon as my mouse would touch any link, the browser shut down. I reloaded my 2 original operating discs, but now my airport extreme is greyed out. When I try to click on my network to access it, I am unable to. I reloaded my airport disc, but nothing has changed.
(I am writing this from my DH's computer because I cannot access the internet.)

I've tried to install the Airport Enabler .pkg and "errors" shut it down.
I can find my network listed, but the bottom right button is greyed out, even after I enter my password.
I opened ::something:: in System Preferences to be sure "Automatic" was selected (it was) and I've also tried entering "11" in this area, no go. There seems to be a password problem, while in this area, I turned on "view password" and there was a string of random characters a mile long.
I thought MAC computers couldn't be hacked?
How can I resolve a password problem when the WPA wireless security (and ALL securities) have "OK" greyed out?
Why would reloading my original operating system discs cause my wifi to change?
Who would I phone to resolve this lack of internet access problem???

Airport Admin Utility can no longer access Airport Extreme, what now?

I have an Airport Extreme that worked fine for a long time with a specific IP. They sold out and the new company came in and installed new equipment. The settings had to change on the Airport. After that, I lost my ability to print through the Airport USB port.
I tried to resolve the problem the other day. My Airport Admin Utility saw the Airport, but I couldn't access it. When I clicked configure, a window came up saying "Reading configuration from base station", then a Password login window came up. I enter my password, it says "Reading configuration from base station", then it says "An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again.". It does the same thing whether I enter the right or wrong password.
It started working unexpectedly for a little while. I experimented with some settings. Now I can't access it again. The Airport Admin Utility sees the Airport as 10.0.0.0, my laptop's IP says 169.xx.whatever. I thought the Airport was supposed to distribute IP addressed. It did for awhile after I set it that way, but then it went back to 169.xx.whatever.
I'm lost. I don't know how I will ever access the Airport again. Or get my printing capability back.
Help!!!

Ok. I'm going to try a reset on a day where I have some time to mess with it. There are some things I need clarified for me about settings. Please correct me as needed.
In the internet tab:
-Connect using Ethernet is selected.
-Configure Manually was selected before as it is now.
-IP address: do I use their IP or 10.0.0.0 or 10.0.1.1 or what?
-Subnet mask: It used to be 255.255.255.0 now it's 255.255.0.0.
-Router address: What do I put here, use their IP or 10.0.0.0 or 10.0.1.1 or what?
-DNS servers: I will enter their DNS servers.
-Domain name: blank
-WAN Ethernet Port is selected Automatic.
Under Network Tab:
-Distribute IP adresses is checked.
-Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT)used to be checked, now Share a rnage of IP addresses (using only DHCP) is checked.
-DHCP Lease: 4 hours. What is best here?
Do I really need to worry about anything else? If the password is reset how to I access from default settings?
Thanks, after this I should have a better understanding of network settings and the AEBS.

Access AirPort Extrems USB hard drive from Android

I'm starting a new discussion because I erroneously marked my earlier discussion "solved".
I've been using a USB connected disk drive on my AirPort Extreme from my Android tablet for years. Since upgrading the AirPort to version 7.6.4 I can no longer access the disk drive from the tablet. I have not changed anything on the tablet, only the AirPort.
The tablet can see the AirPort itself as 10.0.1.1 and can see the attached disk drive, but when I try to access the drive I get a series of possible errors including Firewall issues, SMB service is off or out of scope and WLAN is off.
I don't know how to look at the firewall on the AirPort or check on the SMB service (I can't find either topic in AirPort Utility).
I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
The drive is fully accessible from either of the two Macs on the network.
Please help - I really need to access files on this disk from the tablet. I konw Dropbox will work, but ti's cumbersome and I don't really want some of the files to live on Dropbox.

I would venture to say that the issue may be related to the AirPort firmware update not being compatible with the current version of firmware on your Android tablet. Of course, you probably already know this. I'm not aware of any incompatibilities between these two devices as Apple has not provided any information on this.
As far as firewall on the AirPort, unless you are accessing the Extreme from a remote location its NAT firewall would be a mute issue. About SMB, this is automatically enabled when you configure the Extreme to share out an external USB HDD. So there is no setting to change there either.
I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
If your Android was not having this issue when the Extreme was running 7.5.2 firmware, but is now after downgrading it to this version tends to make me believe the issuse may be with your tablet. Is there a potential firmware update for it?

Access Airport extreme disk on Hard Wired Connection

Question how do you access the USB hard disk on Airport extreme via a Mac on a hard wired ethernet connection?
I have a Mac in a room outside WLAN coverage and apart from Air Port Disk utility I don't know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Garry

Garry, Welcome to the discussion area!
The same process as when you access the drive wirelessly.
If you are connected to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), you must configure the AEBS to operate in bridge mode.

Getting Rid of Airport Extremes under Shared Devices in Finder Side Bar

In the Finder side bar, under Shared, I see a nice list of all the computers on my local network.
Unfortunately, I also see my Airport Extremes (I have two) and they show up as type "PC Server". How can I fix this problem either by not having the Airport Extremes show up while keeping the rest of my computers showing up correctly or (ii) having the finder understand that these are Airport Extremes and not try to connect to them and show the wrong icon.
Thanks,
Robert

I appreciate you taking the time to look. My 3 macs are now displaying only other Leopard computers. The strange ones have disappeared. One strange listing did look like my airport express base station. I have a 2nd express airport which servers to play my itunes. I, also, have two PCs on a Linksys wireless network and a wireless printer on my airport network.
Have no idea why the strange additions have disappeared. In an attempt to get them to disappear, I did shut down & restart each computer (Macs & PCs), unplugged and replugged both express airports, turned off then on the printer, and unplugged and replugged the linksys wireless router connected to my DSL modem. My goal was to isolate the equipment causing the strange listings. No luck. Could only modify the strange listing by totally taking down the wireless network at the DSL modem. Then, after returning from working at a client's; everything looked normal. ?????

What options do I have for wireless for a power pc G5 to be able to access Airport Extreme??

I just got a new mac pro with airport extreme to handle the wireless needs. I have an old Power PC G5 1.8 GHz dual processor that I would like to use and have wireless capabilities. I want to use the airport extreme to access the internet on the power pc G5. I have an airport utility on the old power pc G5 but when I goto set up the airport utility, it states I do not have a wireless card. Where do I get a wireless card? Is there a usb I could hook up to function as a wireless card without needing to get into the computer. either option is possible, I just do not know how to move forward. Any help would be appreciated.

Access airport extreme remotely - how do I?

Could somebody tell me if there is a way to access my airport extreme remotely over the internet. I know with netgear routers you can just tick a box to enable remote access but can't work out how I do this with the airport extreme. Anyone know?

I take it you know how to get your IP or dynamic DNS, so we'll skip that part.
In Airport Utility, be in Manual Setup. Under the Airport tab, on the Base Station page, click: Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port.
Then when you're away from home, you can point Airport Utility at your DynDNS name and it should work.

Remote Access Airport Extreme 802.11n

Need Help with setting up Airport Extreme 802.11n *so I can access it from a remote location.*

Is the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) directly connected to the Internet modem ... that is, is the AEBSn the only router in the network configuration that you are trying to reach remotely?
If so, do you have a MobileMe account and using Back to my Mac (BTMM) or another means to access the AEBSn?

Remotely Access Airport Extreme / Airport Utility

I am needing direction on how to remotely access my Airport extreme esttings remotely. I travel often for work, and at times, I need to access the AEBS to maybe change Acess Time restrictions for my kids or whatever. Is there a way to access remotely via Safari on my iphone or is the only answer using Back to My Mac via an internet connection on my laptop? Id like to be able to do it thru my phone no matter where I am if possible. Please inform me on how to do this
Thanks
Brandon

Tesserax,
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it. I don't have a MobileMe account, however I did setup iCloud. I know I can remotely configure my Airport Extreme using the standard desktop Airport Utility (I have a dyndns dynamic address setup). However, I was really hoping to do at least SOME remote router configuration with my phone. I guess I can't =\
I think it's quite strange Apple doesn't have a way to do this. Every other router on the market has a simple web administration interface that can be used via Safari on the iPhone. Not being able to do this with the Aiport Extreme is a real deal killer for me. Why have an iPhone Airport Utility App that can only be used locally? If I'm at my home or office and I want to configure my router, I'll just jump on a freakin' computer!

Remote Access, Airport Extreme, and ReadyNAS Duo, Oh My!

I am begging for help on this issue. I've contacted Netgear support at least 6 times on this issue, and called Apple support once, all to no avail. I'm posting this both in the Netgear forums and Apple forums to try to get some help.
Simple problem: I can't seem to figure out how to get my ReadyNAS Duo to be remotely accessible AT ALL (i.e., through any protocol).
This is one of the main reasons we bought the Duo, and it's killing me that I can't figure out how to make it work. I'm new to networking, and I can't seem to find anyone (include any tech support people!) who can actually help me with this!
I'm on a Mac, running OS X 10.5.6. I'm using an Airport Extreme router. I've got a ReadyNAS Duo 2150.
I've enabled FTP access, HTTPS access, HTTP access, CIFS access, and AFP access through ReadyNAS Frontview.
I've tried to forward Ports 21, 443, and 80 to the Duo's internal IP address (although I'm not exactly sure if I did it right... I filled in the "TCP" port fields, but not the "UDP" ports fields).
When I try to access the Duo, I simply type in the IP address (in Safari) that shows up as the IP address in the Airport Utility, and I've tried various configurations of that, such as "https://[IP Address]/", "https://[IP Address]/admin" "https://[IP Address]:443/" and the same things using FTP, AFP, etc. (through "Connect to Server" in the Finder).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me with this! It's been months and I just don't understand what I'm missing.
Thanks.
-Celeste

When I try to access the Duo, I simply type in the IP address (in Safari) that shows up as the IP address in the Airport Utility, and I've tried various configurations of that, such as "https://IP Address/", "https://IP Address/admin" "https://IP Address:443/" and the same things using FTP, AFP, etc. (through "Connect to Server" in the Finder).
When you are at home, you would need to use the private/local IP address which the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) provides to that device.
When you are away from home, you would need to use the public IP address provided by your ISP and used by the AEBS on the Internet/WAN side.
