Using an ext HDd and air port

So I've had no end of trouble with trying to get backups done on a network so one final time here I go!
I have 1 Mac, that I would like to backup with TM via a network, I recently discovered my current router with an HDd won't work cause it's not AFP. I'm assuming the airplay extreme is.
So now I've partitioned my 2tb, 1tb fat and 1tb mac journaled. Can I hook it up to an airport extreme switch on and enjoy the glory of TM backups?
Add info, Mac intel 3.06ghz 10.6.6, I have an ATV, xbox and the Mac using media stored on the fat partition, I just assumed I would need fat cause of the xbox but if that's not the case I could use that info too!!

So in theory could i use Carbon Copy?
no.
taken from [this|http://help.bombich.com/kb/troubleshooting/backup-to-network-volume] knowledge base article:
CCC cannot, however, backup directly to a network filesystem (e.g. AFP, SMB, CIFS, NAS, Airport Extreme "Airdisk", or Time Capsule).
or other software ?
you might want to have a look @ ChronoSync.

  • Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

  • How do I store my photos in an ext hdd and link them to iphoto library?

    Is it possible to store all the photos on an ext hdd and access them via iphoto?
    Currently, my photos are stored locally in my Macbook's hdd. I would prefer the files to be stored on an ext hdd.
    I also encountered another problem, I organise all my photos via event dates. However, when I check the file location on my hdd, some are stored in 2008 folder even though the date of photo taken and sync are done this year. This only happen to some of the photos and not all.

    Currently, my photos are stored locally in my Macbook's hdd. I would prefer the files to be stored on an ext hdd.
    Are you running a managed library (the "copy items to the iPhoto library" preference is checked - the default setting) or a referenced library (that preference has been unchecked?
    IF you are running the default managed library then simply quit iPhoto, drag the iPhoto library from the pictures folder on your internal drive to your EHD and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library option to tell iPhoto where the iPhoto library is now located
    If you have changed to a referenced library it may be very difficult to change the location of your photos

    It is advised that you do not enter the iPhoto library via the finder - if you make any changed to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using any program except iPhoto you may corrupt your library and lose data - there is no reason to be inside the iPhoto library - you should always access your photos using iPhoto

    Hi,
    This option is available when your publish target is set to AIR 3.6.
    You can download the desired AIR SDK version from Archived Adobe AIR SDK versions

  • Apple tv and air port?

    do i need apple tv if i have air port and my new tv can connect to the internet?

    Network person here.... the apple tv box, wireless router and my laptop ( on same wireless network ) are all connected.   The Apple TV and my Laptop both getting ip from wireless router thru DHCP and both showing the same network mask of 192.168.0.    .129 for apple tv and .130 for Laptop... sub 255/24 with a Gateway of 192.168.0.254, but, I can't ping apple tv from laptop?  No ports are blocked and my firewall/antiv on  laptop are both off.  Wondering, Sue has an apple router at home and this unit works there.  When we hardwire the apple tv into the wireless router here it connects and pings just fine,  Only difference left is the Wireless mode could be different on a Netgear and and Apple router. Currently we are using 2.4GHZ band 11ng.  Is this compatible with the Apple TV?

  • OS X Mavericks and Air Port base station

    i just got a air port base station, an old one, and ive just updated my macbook pro to os x mavericks.
    when i try to connect to the air port, it says that i cannot configure the air port with the version of air port utillity. apon downloading an older version of the utility, i cannot install it because i get a masseage saying 'the version of mac os x on this volume is not supported'. i would just like to know how i can install the older version of air port utillity tobe able to get my air port to work.
    thanks for any help.

    I already have the wired router for the phone, and want to go wireless.
    You can use the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or AirPort Express. Configure it so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED. Connect it to one of the LAN ports on your existing router.
    You can also use any other wireless access point.

  • Using multiple MIDI in and out ports... is there a any solution?

    Hi Guys,
    I've been using Logic Pro for about 3 or 4 years, and have always struggled with the fact that when using external MIDI instruments, there are not separate drop-down menus for PORT IN and PORT OUT, where I could choose which port would be used on my MIDI interface.
    I was previously a Cubase user, and it had these two ports, so I could easily choose, for example: "MIDI IN: Port B" and "MIDI OUT: Port C", and MIDI would be routed to those ports.
    Logic only has one drop-down for selecting ports, and that is for the outgoing MIDI signal only.
    My problem is that when we want to record say two synths at the same time, each on its own MIDI track, the incoming signals are blended and played on both active tracks.
    There IS a tick-box option in Project Settings, called Auto demix by channel if multitrack recording, but this only works when all the channels in question are armed for recording. If we are just jamming ideas (but want to have MIDI set up ready to record... therefore local is off on each synth, etc...), it appears there is no way to separate the incoming MIDI signals so they only go back to their respective ports.
    This issue has now compounded with the addition of two new synths in my studio... suddenly it's even more crucial to be able to easily separate the MIDI ports for each of the four synths.
    I have never delved into the Environment, but was chatting to the guys in the music store I go to, and they were saying there might be a way of setting up the specific MIDI routing I am looking for, in the Environment.
    I would love any assistance you could give me. This has become such a frustration that I have even looked at moving back to Cubase (but the way it handles lots of tracks at low latency on Mac is stopping me, at the moment! The trial version showed this up as a real issue, compared to Logic!).
    I am of course secretly hoping that Logic Pro 10 will have a re-thought MIDI setup, with simple in and out port drop-downs for each MIDI track. But that's a long shot, and Logic 10 could still be ages away!
    Any help an experienced user can offer me would really be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Satellite A200-1S5 - Can I use a second HDD and RAID?

    Hi all,
    Is Toshiba Satellite A200-1S5 eligible for adding a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as far a I know - could it help?
    Thanks,
    Denis

    The Satellite A200-1S5 does NOT support RAID!!!
    But some A200 could use two HDDs (but NOT RAID!!!) There are different A200 models which supports different hardware specifications.
    Therefore you can find the second bay at the bottom of the unit.
    But if there is no connector for second HDD then this means that there is no second HDD controller and you cannot use second HDD in this A200!!!
    Bye

  • Mac Mini and Air Port Express

    I bought Airport Express today for my Mac mini. I tried to hook it up and nothing is happening. All I get is the amber light flashing on and off. Do I need the base station (Airport Extreme? What am I doing wrong? I am connecting with a cable wire.

    Hello SoulRyder. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I assume that you had your Mac Mini connected directly to your cable modem using an Ethernet cable prior to getting the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) ... correct? ... and that you were not having any issues accessing the Internet when connected this way?
    If the answer is yes to both, the it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your network components when introducing new devices.
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AXn, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AXn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AXn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AXn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Dual Ethernet Ports, and Air Port Wifi

    I have a early 2008 and 2009 Mac Pro and was wondering if there was a way to connect both ethernet ports and the airport wifi as one "adress" so i would essentially have 3x the bandwith for downloading/uploading, etc.
    This is in both Snow Leopard and Win XP Via Boot Camp

    You might start by reviewing this thread and associated links:

    Apparently it should be possible to link the ethernet ports together but not the wireless.

  • Time capsule and air port utility

    so i have set up my time capsule. successfully. my macair recognizes it. however, when i go to time machine and turn it on, the drop window comes down and my t.c. is not there. it needs to be in the drop box for me to select it to use as backup, correct? when on the phone with tech support, it asked me to check what version of airport utility. i have 5.2.2 according to them, time capsule can only work with 5.3. i have checked for updates and there are none at this time.
    this is my first mac. any help would be appreciated

    Yeah, you're hosed. I have the same problem. Apple is being inconsistent in their recent product releases - they pitch a CD-less laptop and in the next breath sell you a wireless backup box that requires your laptop to install software that they ONLY distribute on CDs. You will need to buy or borrow an external USB CD drive.

    GPT (GUID Partition Table) and MacOS Extended (Journaled) are the standard (normal) settings to be used for external harddisks in conjunction with Intel-based Macs like your MacBook.

  • Why are LR3.3 and ext hdd not communicating?

    I store all my images on an ext hdd which is synched with LR on my MacBook Pro. A couple of days ago, everything was fine. Just started up ext hdd and opened LR, to be told to 'Click the import button to begin'. Everything in LR is a blank; no recognition at all of the ext hdd, so no images, no nuttin'. Any ideas about what's happened and how to reconnect LR and the ext hdd?

    Thanks for advice. Also suggested on forum reply. It's done the trick and LR and ext hdd are talking again.
