Unable to access TC hard disk from PC

I have been unable to access the TC wireless and hard disk from my PC. I have both a Mac and a PC...the Mac works fine. I'm not using the TC to access the internet I just want to use it for back up and file storage for now. The message i get from the pc when i try to access the airport disk is "could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53)."
I have tried to add the IP Address to my Norton software, I have even disabled Norton and that didn't help. I have tracked down the secret location of the NetBIOS and made sure it was enabled...but i get the same message.
Anyone have any other ideas? I love the TC for MAC but i need it to work for both systems or I'm going to have to take it back! Please help!

Ok...I stumbled onto the solution after being told by several people to have windows rebuilt and almost charged $130 from Dell Tech Support!
While attempting to share files from my Dell to back up on my Mac in order to reformat windows...yea it was getting to that point...Windows had me run the network setup wizard. During the set up there is a "file and printer sharing" choice to make and the default is of course "turn off file and printer sharing" which is of course the key to accessing the TC.
I did complete the setup for a new network, renaming the workgroup and making sure the other settings jived with all the TC settings I have thrashed through for nearly two weeks.
I hope this saves someone a little time and a lot of frustration. Thanks to all the other posts about this issue, it was good to know that other people face the same type of problem and there were a million ways around it.

Accessing USB Hard disk from internet

HI all....
I am ready to buy an iMac 24" tonight and I just wanted to ask a question about a new setup that I have in mind;
since I have only 25GB free on my Macbook, I have no way to have all my music on the HDD, so I would like to be able to stream music from my house to my macbook, by having an external library as my iTunes Library, and connecting to it from my work.
I would have to buy the Airport Extreme Base Station as well, since it is the only Router that has a USB port that I could attach the HDD to.
Is this feasible?
Thank you.
Emanuele

Hey
What you're talking about would not be posible only using an airport extreme because it is set not to share your drive over the internet as this would be a crazy security issue (within seconds script kiddies would be bombarding it with requests to try and hack it.) However, what you want to do is definitely possible, but will require having two computers - your macbook at work, and one at home to log into and host the share. Once you have a second computer, there are literally hundreds of ways to do this, from streaming music over the web in a web browser, to ssh tunelling in to your home maching to get all of your files and music. Here are some options:
Streaming through a web browser:
1.Try MyTunesRSS (not good if you have a big music collection > 10000 songs) http://www.codewave.de/products/mytunesrss/
Streaming through iTunes native music streaming via SSH:
1. Full tutorial at http://www.sevitz.com/2005/03/howto_share_your_music_via_itunes_on_thenet
Access to all files on your mac through SSH, see my comment here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5778143#5778143
If you want to use a cheap PC as the home machine to serve the files, there are a number of free Linux based OS's and tutorials online for doing this. Spend some time in google but don't attempt unless you're happy mucking about in the command line.
Hope that helps,
Greg

Accessing of Hard DIsk Serial Number

Dear Readers,
I develop Client Server Applications. I would like to know how we can access the hard disk from an application so that I get the Serial Number of the Hard Disk, the Floppy Disk number, CD Rom Drive Number and Network Card Number.
Please suggest.
Yours Truly,
Sarwottam

Hi!
There is now way to use 100% Java to access such things as Network Card Number etc. If you are willing to make sacrifice the platform independance, just Java Native Interface (JNI). This way you could use some C or C++ library that has access to the hardware. Note that it?s only the server that could access the hardware. . You could connect from the client to a server using a socket for sending and receiving data.
Tip: Get "Essential JNI" by Rob Gordon if you want a book on JNI. It's a little hard to read, but I believe that's the best book on the subject.

How can i access the hard disk and know the no of partitions

sir
i want to access the hard disk and know how many parttions the hard disk have means c,d,e,f,g or may be c,d,e? also volum no or serial no.
but i do not know how?
plz help me and send me a code
thanks in advance
if this quesstion is not related to this forum plz guide me that where i put this quesstion?

You figure out how to do it on your OS using C/C++ code.
Then you write a wrapper in JNI to call your C/C++ code.

Unable to access LAN behind RV042 from QUICK VPN Client once it connects

Hi,
Very recently, we had implemented Site-to-Site VPN tunnel between two Linksys RV042 4-port VPN routers. Everybody in our remote site is accessing and sharing the data through this tunnel and it is working fine.
Now, we have a plan to implement the same for our mobile clients also. For this, we had followed all the basic configuration procedures and user got connected to Quick VPN tunnel. Here is a problem we had observed. The mobile client user is connected to the tunnel, but unable to access the office LAN from the PC.
What's the problem in configuration? What i have to do?
Thanks
VC Gundapaneni

Hi There.
have a look over here.

Moving Hard Disk From one Mac to Another

I am thinking of buying a new macbook. I have the C2D 2.16 Ghz right now. So if I would buy, lets say the new 2.4 Ghz model, could I just take the hard disk from the one I use now and put it into to the new Macbook?
Would it boot up?
Thanks!

As i understand you already have a MacBook and your thinking of buying a new one, to witch you want to have all your present data.
Instead of removing the physical HD from one and reseating it in another you cloud try one of these options out:
1.
If you have 10.5 on your present MacBook you might think of using TimeMachine:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15638.html
-great feature restores your whole system as you see it
2.
You have a utility called Migration Assistant, you´ll find this in Applications>Utility folder:

3.
Use a firewire cable to transfere the information you need.
Best of luck.

I change iMac hard disk from basic to dynamic in windows 7

I change iMac hard disk from basic to dynamic in windows 7, after restart windows I saw that there is not any OS X for selecting by press and hold "Option" key.
I don't have any backup and the original DVD from the seller. I live in Iran and here there is no any Apple seller or supporting center.
What should I do to have OS X again ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You probably erased the hard drive by doing that. If you have got a Mid 2010 or later iMac, you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your computer is starting.
Then, open Disk Utility, choose your hard drive at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
If you have got an older Mac, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I wish it was under better circumstances, but welcome to the discussions!
It certainly sounds like a bad HD to me. Back up your data and then take it in or call Apple.

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it.

Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
As for the install failing,
I never do the older "archive and install"
I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
of course all the data is lost.
Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
Just some ideas to throw out there....
Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.

Upgrading hard disk from 320 GB to 500 GB

Hi Mac Gang,
By how much will the weight of my 13" macbook pro increase by upgrading the hard disk from 320GB to 500GB?
Thanks!

It's not the size (space) of a drive that increases its weight, it's more likely the speed of a drive that affects its weight. A 7200 RPM drive generally weighs more than its 5400 RPM counterpart (given the same model and same manufacturer), regardless of the amount of disk space in GBs. (The weight difference between these two different speed drives is probably only about 10-20 g.)
FYI: Data on a hard drive has no weight, either. ; )

Access Time Capsule Disk from Linux Fedora

From my Linux Fedora, I am connected to the main wireless network for the TC. When I go to "Browse Network", I can see 2 destinations named M's TC (FileSharing), when I try to access the first one it opens but has no content at all! While the other one gives an error:
Could not dispaly "Ms-TC.local (afp)"
The file is of an unknown type
Do you know how can I access the TC disk from Fedora?
Thanks.

I use FileBrowser app. It works. Their latest version is much easier to configure than earlier versions. You need to turn file sharing on and SMB on your time capsule disk.
I use the time capsule disk to store a few files which I never want to be on my iPhone or iPad, but do want access to them. They are not backed up on the time capsule but since they also exist on my Mac, they are backed up from there.

Unable to make tWo concurrent logins to the firewire Hard Disk from RHEL 3.

Hello
I tried setting up a firewire(shared storage) ORACLE 10 G RAC CLUSTER using OCFS/ASM using your install guidelines
but this failed.Below is the scenario.
Hardware : compaq intel PC's with 1 GB RAM
Members in the cluster : Two
Operating system : RHEL AS 3 / FEDORA CORE -3 (both being tried one after the other)
Oracle 10G RAC version : 10.1.0.3.0
HDD : Maxtor one touch II 250 GB with combo interface Firewire/USB 2.0
N/W Adapters : Two public interconnect,Two private interconnect thru 10/100 internet Hubs/switches
Firewire card details: FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems (former Lucent Microelectronics) FW323 (rev 05)
Failure Description
I successfully loaded the drivers for the Maxtor one touch II in the two Linux (RHEL 3) boxes. But after a restart, at any point of time,
the disk is detected only by one node. It is detected in the other node only if the first node is powered OFF. On investigating we found the
following error message by running "dmesg | grep sbp2" command as root
ieee1394: sbp2: Query logins to SBP-2 device successful
ieee1394: sbp2: Maximum concurrent logins supported: 2
ieee1394: sbp2: Number of active logins: 1
ieee1394: sbp2: Error logging into SBP-2 device - login failed
Please do suggest where i was wrong and how to proceed next.
Thanks & Regards
Raghavan

Hello All,
I work as the system admin for Raghavan. Thanks to all those who took time to reply to our queries. Sorry for the lengthy mail. Let me go through the whole sequence of what we did initially.
1. Installed RHEL 3 with Agere PCI Firewire cards.
2. Installed Firewire Kernel kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELorafw1 on top of it.
3. Modules were loaded properly and the Firewire hard disk was accessible from both the nodes.
4. Everything went fine during OCFS and ASM installation.
5. We were installing the CRS and that too went fine till 99% and the final step of running the root.sh in one of the nodes gave an error message as follows
"Failure at final check of Oracle CRS Stack
0"
6. So we thought of reinstalling CRS and deleted the Voting disk file directly from the shared disk. We deleted the file manually from one of the nodes using the "rm -rf" command and that too before uninstalling OCFS.
Now both the disks went out of sync. The voting disk and CRS file was still visible from the other node. So we did a reboot of both the nodes one by one. After this MYSTERIOUS reboot at any point of time only one node was able to detect the hard disk.
Finally after nearly two months of head scratching (really lost lot of my hair in this :)) we were able to get concurrent logins from both the nodes now! Thanks to the reply by Member no 279089. I bought and installed a TI(TSB43AB23)card on one node and a VIA chipset card on the other. And finally the magic worked. I am able to partition the disk and the partitions are visible from both the nodes.
But now we have a new problem. When we invoke the OCFSTOOL from one node (VIA card node), the previous OCFS partion (the one which was done before the MYSTERIOUS reboot) is still shown. I removed the /etc/ocfs.conf file and still it is being shown in the ocfstool. I tried to ignore this and continued creating the OCFS partition from the other node (TI card node) using the mkfs.ocfs command. That too ran fine without any error messages and was able to mount it under /u02/oradata/orcl. When I try to mount the partition from VIA card node it is giving me the following error
# mount -t ocfs /dev/sdb1 /u02/oradata/orcl
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, or too many mounted file systems
I get the following in /var/log/messages
Jun 29 21:16:40 testrac1 kernel: SCSI disk error : host 2 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 8000000
Jun 29 21:16:40 testrac1 kernel: Current sd08:11: sense key None
Jun 29 21:16:40 testrac1 kernel: I/O error: dev 08:11, sector 69
I tried googling with the above error message and they seem to point hands towards VIA chipsets. But I am not sure. Please guide us on what needs to be done to resolve this issue if you have faced it before.
Thanks in Advance
Jei
