Usb harddrive does not show up.. anyone helpfull?

I have an airport network setup working smoothly. Now, after severall month I decided to have a hard drive plugged into the airport extreme base. I can see it in the admin utility, I configured all needs but it wouldn´t show up on desktop..
What is the mistake I am stuck on? Where would I look for the hard drive if not in "network" (or should it show up immediatly?)

Tom, welcome to the discussion board.
Have you tried to access the drive via the finder?
Finder - Go - Connect to Server - select volume - enter user name and password
How is the drive formatted? HFS+, FAT16 or FAT32?

  • W520: Unable to boot from USB - device does not show up in boot menu

    I have a W520, and I am trying to boot from a USB key. The USB key is bootable, my old T61p boots just fine from it, and so does another computer I tried.
    The W520, after pressing F12 on power on, immediately shows the Intel PXE agent and then some blue boot menu, which only shows hard drive and LAN as available boot options.
    I have tried all three USB ports but the results are always the same - the USB device does not show up. Is there any trick or BIOS setting to enable boot from USB?
    Thanks,
        CS 

    Hello Neil
    Thanks for getting back to me
    The issue was that the usb drives were disabled in the bios from the  Startup menu.
    To enable
    1. Enter bios
    2. Select boot
    3. If you do not see the boot device you require use the down cursor key until the "Excluded from boot priority order" becomes visible.
    4. Select the device you require (in my case USB HDD)
    5. Save and exit.
    You can now boot from a usb stick and install the Linux distro of your choice :-)
    Cheers

  • Airport extreme usb printer does not show on macbook

    I have been trying to set-up a printer on a Airport Extreme through the USB cable.  However, the printer does not show under "Printers and Scanners" and the help on-line has not helped at all. 

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • Files copied as .lnk files to usb and does not show up in Windows

    When I copy files from the MBP to a USB disk, instead of copying the files as is, the Mac converts the files into a .LNK file, which then shows up as "shortcuts" rather than the copied file in Windows. Why is this?

    same here.. it happened after installing Lion and updating iTunes

  • Iphone 4 makes an continuous intermittent vibration/buzzing sound when plugged into any of computer's 3 usb ports; does not show in itunes or Windows Vista device manager. No problem charging the phone with other power sources. What's going on?

    This problem happened intermittently in the past but now happens every time I plug in the phone. I suspect it might be a problem with my computer, an Acer Aspire 4530, perhaps with it's charging function via usb ports? The phone makes the same buzzing sound twice when I connect to other power sources, but continues when connected to computer. I have this issue even when the phone is 100% charged.

    Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

    It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
    Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed.  Sorry.
    You do have some options at this point.
    If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
    If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option.  However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

  • How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

    How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
    Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
    After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
    So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
    I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
    I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
    I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
    Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files? 

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • HT1349 I have registered with my local library and can download books.  But these are not being shown in ITunes, the Library does not show 'audiobooks'.  I have an ipod 6G.  can anyone help please?

    I have recently purchased (from the States) an ipod nano 6th generation.  I belong to a local library and can download books from the audiobooks online section.  Problem is, my iPod when synced to iTunes, does not show Library as a category and audiobooks.  For some reason, it is allowing me to download the books to my iPod, but I am unable to delete them from the iPod, and also, it is giving an echo (I think somehow it is downloading twice which is giving an echo effect).  Not sure what is going on, but if anyone can advise me on this I would be very grateful.

    Hello mrsbonniesue
    If you have an issue with the audiobook showing up in music, check to see if those tracks are labeled as audio books or music. The article below will explained as well as I have highlighted the main portion for changing that information.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook

  • HT1688 I have a honda civic with USB port which allows play back of my old iPhone 4 and 4s.  With the new iPhone 5 the radio shows the phone is conected but does not show any music content.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Kindle does not show up as device when plugged in USB

    I was trying to transfer some files to my Kindle using the USB port. I have a Kindle 2, and a Rocketfish Micro USB cord. The Kindle does charge up so it is drawing power through the cord. But the Kindle does not show up as a device attached to my MacBook. My external HD (Firewire) and iPods (USB) all work perfectly through this USB hub.
    I did call Apple (using my 30 day warranty for installing Snow Leopard) and the tech support person did not even know what a Kindle was.
    Amazon says it's an Apple problem.
    Apple doesn't seem to have any clue.
    I've seen from various threads that USB devices do seem to have intermittent problems. Is the Kindle one such device?

    Some devices do not work properly through a hub. Plug the kindle directly into your Mac and see if it works. Just because some devices work through a hub, doesn't mean all devices work through a hub. Apple does not support third party devices or third party hubs.

    - USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
    - I can see them in "My Computer"
    - I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list

    - In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
    After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
    I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.
