Why can I no longer connect to WD White Light 2TB Harddrive?

Hi,
Up until about 4 days ago, I was able to connect to my external WD Harddrive perfectly fine. It is wireless but I had it connected physically via Ethernet cable to my iMac and used the Connect to Server function every time I turned on my computer perfectly fine.
For some reason it no longer automatically mounts the drive when I do this. I have to enter the user name and password, which I do (and I know they're 100% correct) it seems to accept the username and password however Finder still shows "Connecting" with the option for "Connect As" still active depite the fact I've logged in as the harddrive's admin.
I have tried connecting it to our Wi-fi and connecting to the drive through my new Macbook Pro and it has exactly the same results. Whenever I purposly enter incorrect details the login box shakes showing that username or password is incorrect so I know it does log in. The automatic choice to mount the folders "Public", "Downloads" etc. does not appear.
Any ideas on how I can connect to it, I have a LOT of files on there and the thought of losing them all is just horrifying.
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread but as the issue first arose on my Intel iMac it was the best I can choose.

Why can I no longer connect to iTunes store? Error 301..

Suddenly I cannot connect to iTunes. No idea why, apparantly it's error '301'. No firewall changes were made and iTunes is still permitted..

Hello Josh,
I was researching what may be causing you to not be able to access the iTunes store, and found a couple of articles that may help you out. The first is an article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368. There are steps to try depending on the Operating System you are running.
Also there is a more Advanced troubleshooting article called iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 that may also help.
And if you havent already, a great troubleshooting set of steps would be to restart the computer, router and/or modem then retest.
All the best,
Sterling

Why can I no longer connect to our home Wi-Fi?

I love my tablet, but with the problems I have been having, I am thinking that it is time to buy a lap top! It started with my having to reboot my tablet to connect to our home Wi-Fi. I was thinking that maybe ti was just slow Time Warner internet. I went to visit my daughter in NYC and had no issues with connecting to their Wi-Fi at all. I took Amtrak home from NYC and couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi on board the train. I came home and now I can not connect to our Wi-Fi at all. I tried rebooting my tablet and still no connection. Anyone else have problems with their Wi-Fi? What should I do? We have only had the tablet for almost 6 months!

We have two phones and the tablet connected to our home wifi, we have Time Warner. I don't think that is much. It is working better now. I thought that the train being overloaded might be the reason why I couldn't connect. I had asked the conductor if there was an issue with it and he checked and said no. He was connected, as were others around me. Most were using their smart phones. Since I had never had a problem connecting before, I didn't think I'd have an issue on this trip. BUT, there were a lot more people on board. My scheduled train was cancelled, so there were more passengers, and cars, than the usual on board! It was annoying because I had to reschedule, AND be without a wifi connection! I can only hope that the next time I take the train, that I can connect to their wifi.....and that my scheduled train won't be cancelled!!!!

Why can I no longer connect to my Xfinity WiFi at home?

I am having trouble connecting to my WiFi at home. My laptop can connect and my phone shows full strength and says that it's connected, but the little arrows that appear seem to show that my phone isn't receiving the signal. I am able to automatically connect to any other WiFi locations I go to.
I have an Xfinity modem/router. I am unsure if this is a problem on their end or my end. This goes beyond just unplugging and resetting everything. I recently disconnected the modem/router because Xfinity said there was a new Blast speed update. Around this time is when my issues began.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

One possibility is that you may have entered your encryption key/authentication code incorrectly, and its continuing to try to access, but being blocked because the code is wrong. Tell it to forget your network, and try connecting/logging into it from scratch again.
What model phone do you have?

Why can I no longer connect to my home WIFI

Hi All
This is my first post and I know from searching online for the last week or so for a solution that this has been a problem for others before. I have tried all of the proposed solutions I have found including, resetting the network settings, resetting all settings, turning the wifi on and off, manually enterring information used within another phone on the manual element of the wifi setup.
I still cannot connect my phone to my home WIFI despite it being conencted for over a year with no problems, and also having other iphones, laptops and Ipads that can connect.
The phone that wont connect can still pick up other WIFI networks and barely finds my home WIFI.
I would really appreciate some help with this as we rely on the WIFI due to not picking up great 3G in my area.
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same issue many times with Apple products (Mac, Macbook Pro, IPad) when I have been travelling (hotel, restaurant, coffee shop etc. wifi) or using an "off-site" wifi system. The solutions seems to be to unplug your router from the wall and wait about 10-seconds than plug the unit back in. Works everytime for me.

Why can I no longer connect a conference call?

Since the iOS 7 update, I am unable to connect to a conference call. Is this an ongoing problem?

It is similar to call waiting. The calls are swapped rather than connected.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

Why can I no longer access google from my mac with either Firefox or Safari

why can I no longer access google from my mac with either Firefox or Safari — both with latest updates loaded. My PC is fine.

What was before? And what is now?
It is a good idea to include the machine type and OS version in your problem posts.

Why can I no longer open or save documents in word?

Why can I no longer open or save files using office for mac?

Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
That will result in this window:
The version number is right underneath Mac OSX.
Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700 pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11?

Why can I no longer drag and drop in iMovie 11? This means I can't select transitions, titles, or even move clips within the project. Never had this problem before.

Serious bugs in iM 11 with numerous lock-ups and crashes. I shouldn't have upgraded -- now I'm pulling out my hair trying to complete a video project with it.
Apple is losing their way.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
