Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled).
Does only certain branch of HDD can be connected to aireport extreme?
I collect some information and i knew i have to partiion the HDD into Mac OS extended (journaled),
and i did so. Still the usb HDD cannot be found.
The other question is, can i partition the HDD into two sections, one of it is Mac OS extended(journaled) while the other is Fat32?
I want to share Fat32 section with another PC with windows system.
Thanks a lot if you have any suggestions.

I had tried to set up the connection via usinb a powered usb hub as the bridge between external HDD and the airport extreme. i still cannot found the HDD in the "airport utilities".
This is my setting.
1. Set airport extreme as "sharing-single-ip" mode. The wireless network functions correctly.
2. Connect external HDD to MBA. Partition it into single-partition with Mac OS extended (journaled).
3. The HDD can be found if i plugged it directly to my MBA.
4. Connect a powered usb hub to airport extreme.
5. Connect external HDD to the powered usb hub.
6. Open airport utilities.
a. Select "airport extreme" in the sidebar.
b. Change the "Disks" sheet.
7. Cannot find an external Disk
Is there any problem here?
Please help me. Thanks a lot!!

Can you search an external hdd connected via airport extreme

I have my western digital 500gb harddrive connected to my airport extreme so I can use my HD wirelessly. I tried searching for files in my wireless harddrive through finder, but it doesn't seem to search it, only on my macbook itself. Is it possible to search the harddrive wirelessly?

Smokerz,
could you explain??
I spent over an hour with Apple Tech support and they said that Finder/Spotlight WILL NOT search a networked drive. However, I did find a bit of a work around:
1. In Finder Preferences: General - Select check box - 'Always open folders in new window'
2. Open up a Finder window
3. Select Airport Extreme. (Left column, Shared, name of Airport base station)
4. Select networked drive
5. Double Click a folder in your network drive that you want to search (this opens new window)
6. In the new window, type what you need in the search window (upper right hand corner).
Remember: The Finder window will default to the 'This Mac' in the search column (light grey line below the Toolbar)
7. In the Search column, This Mac and Contents are selected in Dark Grey. You should see
Search: *This Mac* "folder name" Shared | Contents File Name
8. Now select "folder name". This will search the contents of the selected folder and bypass your Mac.
If there is an easier way, could you please explain. TIA
Narvon
PS - If you try to select your networked drive in a new window as in step 5, this still won't work. You can only select specific folders within the drive. Lastly, you can move all your folders and files to 1 folder, however, this increases the search time (My network drive is 320GB in size and a search for 1 known file took just over 3 minutes).

Can't find usb drive that plugged in Airport Extreme

Hello
I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2; AirPort Extreme (5th Gen), I plugged my usb drive (500GB WD Passport) into the AirPort Extreme, but the Finder won't show it. It's just not discoverable.
Please help. Thanks.

If the drive is formatted correctly for Mac OS.....the AirPort Extreme will appear under the SHARED heading in the Finder.
Then when you click on the AirPort Extreme, a folder representing the hard drive will appear in the area to the right. The first time that you do this, you will probably need to click "Connect As" in the upper right corner of the window to enter the AirPort Extreme device password.
When you double click the folder representing the drive, this will mount the drive on the desktop.
Here, I am assuming that the option to display "Connected Servers" is checked in Finder Preferences. It should be checked by default. To double check...
Click anywhere on the open desktop to display the Finder menus at the top of the screen
Click Finder, then click Preferences, then click the General tab
Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to "Connected Servers"
The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as being able to supply enough current to a hard drive, so you may need to use a powered USB hub.

Why can't I find my external hard drive on Airport Extreme?

I have recently moved into a different home and set up the internet through Airport Extreme that works fine. However, I can not find the external hard drive plugged in to the Airport USB which used to show up in Macintosh HD under Devices.
I have unplugged and restarted the Airport, hard drive, and IMac numerous times. I have reset the Airport back to original settings and created a new network. Not sure what to do next.

The drive was hooked in the exact same way 2 days ago at my old address and worked perfectly.
"The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, so that would be the first thing to check."
How do I do this?
"Next, the power at the USB port is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive....even if the hard drive has its own power supply.....so a number of users find that they need to use a powered USB hub."
I will look in to finding a powered USB hub but I don't understand why it would work 2 days ago and not today...
"You will need to open the Finder and click on the Go menu, then click Network to see the drive. Double click it to mount is on the desktop."
Correct, I used to find Airport there under Shared where I could click on Airport to access the hard drive. I don't see Airport at all.
"Finally, if you are planning to use the drive for Time Machine backups, that type of setup is not officially supported by Apple, so results will be unpredictable if you try this."
My hard drive is exclusively music files that I share between Imac and Macbook.

Why I can't find the overall status in billing document!?

Hi,
Why I can't find the overall status in billing document? but I can find this status in table VBUK, some documents set 'B' in this field, some set 'C', all of them are Completed and the corresponding account documents are cleared. for this status is 'B',I can't archive these documents.
Thanks.

Dear Lance
Check the field Document object    i.e Document Status object .
A     Order
B     Purchase order
F     Billing document
K     Sales activities
L     Delivery
T     Shipment
V     Shipping
X     Others
Check if all your entries are F, if not find out which document and try to find out why it is not C.
Do revert with your feedback
If it is still a problem , check some SAP notes
For e.g. Note 142368 - Segment VBUK missing in billing document
Header status segment VBUK is missing in the billing document.You can check this with the general table display (SE16).
It is not yet known why this segment is missing.
correct many documents, you can use report ZZVBUK01.

I can't find the new hdd in disc utilities

I can't find the new hdd in disc utilities

What do you mean by "the new HDD"? What drive are you booted from, what disk are you trying to access, and what are you trying to do with it?

How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
Thanks for any advice in advance!

My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

the time capsule box is that new airport extreme they just came out with right? thing is, i have plenty of external hard drives and don't need or should have to spend money to get the same thing i have with a built in hard drive.
i appreciate the info, however i am REALLY hoping to find a permanent solution using what i have. if not, i guess i need to return it.
are there any other options out there, outside of apple that can provide this utility?

Why I can not find the backgound change button in the iBooks created by the iBooks author?

Every iBooks download in the iBooks store all have this option, why I can not find it in the iBooks created by myself? Is it the benefit for the iBooks store stuffs only?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Those options are only available for books _not_ made using iBooks Author.
iBooks Author outputs a hybrid e-pub of Apple's design that only works on iPad.
Your example above is from a book using a standard e-pub format that works on both iPhone and iPad.
And example of an OS X application that outputs a standard e-pub file is Pages.

Mac won't boot, stuck on grey screen if the external hdd plugged in

as the title.
if i plug my external drive, via usb port, the mac won't boot and stuck at grey screen.
unplugging it, the boot process will continue.
the hdd is a LaCie mobile hdd
any help?

Hello jason(?)
It's a LaCie external mobiel hdd, formatted as exFAT. without adapter. take power directly from usb port.
i tested it on my iMac and it works fine. boot up as normal. the only difference is my iMac is on 10.6.8 and my Air is on 10.7.2
I tested on both USB port on my Air and the problem still persist.
the read/write speed is normal (bought it like a day ago).
another thing is I don't have this problem with my external WD drive.
One thing to notice is that, I accidentally left like for like 2-3 mins and it boots. So why the question now is why it's taking so long to boot? normally it just takes <20 seconds. Seems like it tried to boot from the external hdd, doesn't it?

How can I find the non-truncated serial number of CS4 masters collection installed on my Mac?

I got CS4 Masters Collection about 3 years ago when I was still using a PowerPC G5 Mac. Since then, I've upgraded my setup with Intel machines. I'd like to use Adobe Premiere Pro on my MacBook Pro, as I cannot run it on my G5. I found a download link on Adobe's servers for the old Adobe Premiere CS4 trial, and I downloaded it. Since it isn't installed on the G5, I should be able to use it on my intel machine, right? So I went into Help/System Info on one of the other CS4 apps installed on my G5, and found the serial code, but it was shortened to 20 characters, when the registration requires 24. How can I find the last 4 characters so I can activate Premiere? I found a guide, but it only works for PC's. Please help, I'm tired of using FCPX.

No, that is not rue, Adobe limits the supply of their software explicitly to Adobe themselfs and to their contract distributers. And the other problem is that the serial is stcked on the package of the DVDs. So, if someone passes his original DVDs to someone else he gives him also the serial. He has no possibility to hinder someone the use of these SN. So he has given away the proof of his licence.
