USB Drive does not work when connected to Airport Extreme

I had an external drive connect directly to my iMac and recently purchased an Airport Extreme. When I plugged it into the USB point on the back of the AX has an odd name and won't allow access. When it was configured directly to my iMac it was named TheVault, now it is TheVault???. When I try to access via Go>Network in finder menu, I get "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "TheVault??? cannot be found." Another detail if found in the GetInfo it that it shows 0kb available. All things point to it's existence as a drive but it has no access to the data that was clearly there when it was plugged into the back of the desktop. Jack sends.

Did you use AirPort Utility to enable disk sharing?

  • E7 USB Charging does not work when keyboard is loc...

    I have noticed that if the usb cable is connected when the E7 keyboard is locked, the phone does not charge.
    Is this a bug or an "undocumented feature"?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Just tested it on mine it charges without problems, btw I checked it by connecting to a PC in Ovi suite mode. I presume you face same problem using wall charger and PC USB charging. Restore it to factory settings and check(*#7780#), worth giving a shot. If it doesn't help take it to a Nokia care center.

  • HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer.  The sound still comes from the speakers.  Any solutions?

    The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds.  The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone.  The port has never worked.  Any solutions?

    okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

  • External Hard Drive does not mount after connecting to airport

    Hello,
    I tried finding a solution to this problem already, but people that posted were having issues seeing the drive connected to the airport, while I am having the opposite problem.
    After I tried connecting my USB drive my new airport extreme and it worked there and I tested speed and whatnot, I disconnected it and plugged it back into my iMac and now it will not show up anywhere, and will only show up when connected to the airport.
    Basically I want my drive that was connected to the airport to connect to my mac again because it is not working.

    To clarify, when you connect that drive directly to your iMac it doesn't appear on the Desktop? Do you have Finder preferences set (in the General tab) to show "External disks"? Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?

  • Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

    Hi everyone,
    hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
    Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
    After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
    I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
    I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
    I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
    I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
    Any idea ??
    Thanks
    Guillaume

    I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

    External USB HD does not work with HAL:
    From the last 10 days the HAL auto-mount with ntfs-3g file system of my external hard drive  does not woks.

    Do you have some idea ....
    Bye.

    I have done the following:
    Downloaded the patched hal version.
    used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
    used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
    used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
    saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
    have i done something wrong?
    br fjodork
    WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
    So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
    pacman -Rd hal
    it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore  it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
    First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
    So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
    unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
    at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
    installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
    Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
    makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
    options=('!libtool')
    install=hal.install
    source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
        hal
        hal-policy.patch
        cryptsetup_location.patch
        hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
        ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
    md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
             '882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
             '5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
    then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
    and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
    another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
    I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
    PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
    If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

  • USB ports does not work

    Hi I have problems with not working USB ports. It used to work. I downloaded actual drivers at msi.com for my gaming notebook GX 60 Destroyer and now my USB ports does not work. What should I do?

    What driver have you updated?
    Try to do an EC firmware reset by removing the battery and the AC adapter then put the battery back with AC adapter attached.
    Same questions like Pegasus asked, does all ports not working? which one exactly? What OS are you using?
    Have you done any changes to the system? (for example: self-install OS or changing OS)

  • My hp deskjet 1510 series does not print when connected to my hplap top (windows Vista),

    My hp deskjet 1510 series does not print when connected to my hp lap top (windows Vista), it says the printer is not active, although it is default printer, connected and on. However, it does work when connected to the (also HP) lap top (windows 8) of my husband.  I did everything the hp print and scan doctor advised and also what I could find at HP support (like switch of fire walls, reinstall everything, check printpooler ec etc)... it still does nothing except that I managed to print a diagnostic print which should give information about the condition,  but it only gives numbers and letters like : 11. SN = [Edited for Personal Information] Yr  12 PER = 05YR etc, that does not really help me :-). It won't print any testpages.  H E L P!!!

    Hello Elisabeeth,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print using the Deskjet 1510. I will do my best to assist you! When you reinstall the HP software, did the installation state it was complete?
    I would start off by following this HP document on 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print. From this document, please make sure you check the connection type and the ports.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

    My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

    It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

  • CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

    from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
    When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
    "windows was unable to complete the format"
    So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
    waiting for the help !

    Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
    If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:
