WRT610N Shared folder area is Blank - USB DRIVE

I have a 1tb drive connected to the USB port of my WRT610N
Firmware Version: 2.00.00 B05
I can create a shared folder for individual folders as well as the entire drive. However the Shared folder area of the Disk tab in the Storage area of the routers interface is blank, just white area.
If I go to a PC on the network and type \\192.168.1.1 or \\WRT610N I see the shares I have created. But clicking on them results in a Network error.... Windows cannot access, path not found.
So I can't connect. I have created a group and user in the administration, made sure PC and router config are both connected to the same workgroup name... WORKGROUP.
Also when navigating into the storage area of the router I get the error ... In a popup labled "Message from Webpage" the error is "Shared Folder location not exist, Please check all shared folders"
I am hioping I am missing something simple. I have logged in under the admin account and the new account I created and same results.

Click Start>>Run/Start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (Without quotes) and hit enter, and it should prompt you for the Username and Password, in the Username and Password use "admin" all in lower case and click Ok...Now you should be able to see your USB Drive... You need to right click on it and select "Map Network Drive" and check the box Enable and below click on Finish... This will Map the USB Drive on your computer... Once done you will be able to Send and Receive the data from your Computer to the USB Drive...

Global reset of file / folder permissions on a USB Drive

I just migrated to a new MB Pro. I now have an issue with file permissions on my USB drive that I use for Time Machine and some other external data. I understand (sort of) why the permissions are messed up, because you're forced to come up with a new user name when you migrate your data and applications. That being said, I just want to globally reset / update the permissions on my USB drive and it's data so that I'm the owner; and I can read and write. And I want to save all my data.
I've started this process going from the "get information" screen, so I think I know how. But it's been running forever. Isn't there some type of universal setting for a drive or does it just need to crunch thru every single file and directory?

Whatever you've done already it's the wrong thing to do. You cannot arbitrarily change permissions on every file on your backup using the Get Info window. The result will be a complete screwup of all the file permissions on your backup. You will manage to make a simple problem into an unsolvable one.
Next time you should ask first before you act rather than after when you cannot go back. Since you did this to your TM backup drive about all you can do at this point is erase the drive and start your TM backups from scratch. Of course this doesn't resolve anything for whatever you tried to migrate to your new computer.
If you migrated your old Home folder to the new computer then first be sure the account has admin status, then log into the account. You should then have full access to all your restored files. You can then delete the other user account.

No contents of the BootCamp folder present in the usb drive

Hi guys,
I have a problem with this BootCamp thing. So I have installed windows 8 pro on my iMac(late 2012) and the first thing i did when I installed it was go to the BootCamp folder in the usb drive (my external hard drive) and click the setup.exe thing. I clicked next continously and then it started extracting some thing/file with a weird name. It was taking a long time so I closed it and started it again. It was again taking a long time to extract the same weird-name-file/thing (It did not take this long to do the same when I installed windows 7 Ultimate). So I closed my computer and after some time switched it on. To my astonishment,
when I opened the BootCamp folder (the same one I mentioned before), it was EMPTY! Can you guide me on how to bring it back?
Questions:
Q:Did you Download the Windows Support Software?
A:Duh, It's permanently checked in my version of BootCamp (got it pre-installed with Mavericks)
Q:Did someone by mistake delete the contents of the folder?
A:Nope.
Oh, And one more thing, There is no audio coming when i switch to windows 8 pro and it can't even read the wifi whereas Maverics can read about 20-30 wifis. I know it's got something to do with drivers but still, can you guide me?
Note: Feel free to ask any question. Thanks anyway.

Sounds from your post that you are trying to install the Support software from within OSx. You install the support software from Windows. Read the Boot Camp instructions. You install Windows. Take out the Windows disk. Shut down your computer. Insert the usb containing the support software. Boot your computer into Windows. Windows will automatically detect the support software on the usb and install it. If Windows does not automatically install the software, navigate to the usb, while still in Windows, and double click the setup.exe file.

All files in Blackberry folder on Micro SD/USB drive gone!

how could something like this happen? the minute I plug my micro SD, which contains files in a blackberry folder (this folder works fine when transferring files back and forth between my blackberry and windows PC), into my used macbook pro that i just bought today, the folder is completely deleted. two other folders which i didn't open in the micro sd are still there. all i did was open the blackberry folder when the micro sd popped up as an icon in the background. i had some mp3 files and video files saved in a subfolder of the blackberry folder. I went to a subfolder named "video" and carefully selected just five mp3 files. with the files selected, i held the control key while tapping the trackpad to bring up the pop-up menu. i then clicked on "open file from" and selected iTunes on the right to listen to these songs. what happened next was bizarre. iTunes wouldn't play the songs. So I closed the folder and reopened it only to find that the subfolder names in the blackberry folder appear in a bunch of funny characters! i close the folder again and when i reopen the usb drive icon, the blackberry folder itself doesn't show up at all this time.

what make me really mad is that i repeated the same exact process but with another folder called "mp3" in the same usb drive and the mp3 files i selected played in itunes without a hitch! so what is going on here? i lost some important files in my blackberry folder and when i looked at the hidden trash.bin files by plugging the micro sd/usb drive into a windows pc, the size of the trash files are 0k and 4k. there's nothing in the trash files at all.

Pictures which were found in shared folder are not shown as thumbnails

Hi,
I'm indexing SharePoint sites and File Shared folder with Pictures.
In the search results page the pictures from SharePoint are shown as thumbnails (there is a preview of the picture) but the pictures from fileshare are not shown that way (it is shown as a preview of a video but empty, without preview image).
What should i set?
I added a refiner of "Content Type" and it seems that the content type is "image/jpeg".
keren tsur

Hi,
First create a custom display template which will read the image using the Path property as a thumbnail. Make it smaller etc using CSS. Next up create a custom Result Type which triggers on:
ContentType Equals any of... image/jpeg
ContentSource Equals and of... <name of file share content source>
and pick your custom display template in the dropdown on the Result Type page.
Depending on policy settings the browser will or will not read the image from the file share and display it inline.
Thanks,

Usb drives are not working, usb drives are not working

USB drives are not working. Please help

Non of my Western Digital drives are working anymore on several different Mac computers, one Mac can still work with the drive so I am not getting it up dated to the new OS.
If they told me that all my 2 TB drives would no longer work if I got the new OS I would not have updated.
There needs to be a fix, I can't afford all new drives plus they have video on them that I need to use.
Also iPhoto and Garage Band have disapeared I can't find any trace of them???

Library problems with two XP user accounts accessing music in shared folder

I'm sorry if this has already been answered; I have not been able to find the answer. My wife and I each have a different user account on the same Windows XP machine. I recently combined our iTunes libraries into the shared folder on the computer. I correctly pointed iTunes (in each of our accounts) to the correct location for the music files. I did an "Add Folder to Library" to make sure each account had all of the music. When I did this, I got duplicate listings of all of the songs that also had exclamation points. When I did a "Get Info" on these songs, I found that each song was correctly pointed to the correct file location. I laboriously deleted each "exclamation point" song one at a time (in each account). Now the problem I have is that whenever my wife or I close iTunes and the other person opens iTunes in their XP user account, none of the songs can be found. The best way I've been able to resolve this is to (unfortunately) delete the entire library, and do an "Add Folder To Library" to find all of the song locations and include all of the songs back into the library. Surely this can't be how this is supposed to work.
So, my questions are:
- Do I need to add new albums / songs one at a time to avoid duplicates (rather than use the "Add Folder" for the entire iTunes music folder again)?
- How do I setup iTunes so that my wife and I can each go into iTunes in our seperate XP accounts and have all of our songs right where we left them (WITHOUT having to delete the entire libary and "add" again.)
FYI: I'm using the latest version of iTunes and (again) I'm using Windows XP.
My wife and I really want to each get a new iPod Nano, but if I can't trust iTunes... forget it.
THANKS!!!

I have this setup at working. Two accounts with all files stored on a shared folder, mine is a network drive. Each account has its own library and can access all files. We also use one iTunes account for rare purchases.
This is how did initial setup:
Make a folder in the shared folder. I called mine itunes.
This is where iTunes stores its files.
With second account point iTunes at shared folder.
Import the folder you created earlier.
This worked for me without duplications. The only complication is that when importing from CD with one account the other doesn't know it. The other account must do import on the folder for the CD just imported. We keep track of this with a spreadsheet updated to show which account has which CD files.

Write iso to USB drive?

Hello,
Recently I have been wondering about booting from a USB stick, and was wondering if anyone here could help. Is there any program in OS X (either pre-installed or otherwise) that would allow for the writing of an iso file to a USB stick? I apologize if this really shouldn't have been asked here, but my searching has brought up nothing, and I thought the community here may be able to help.
Thanks for your time!

Sure. Have done this before.
Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. Select the USB drive main entry. It will have to be prepped first. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Select one partition from the drop down menu and click on the Options button. Set the partition map to MBR then click on the OK button. Set the format type to MS-DOS from the Format drop down menu, then click on the Partition button.
Now click on the Restore tab in the DU main window. Drag the USB volume (sub-entry) to the Destination field. Drag the .iso image to the Source field. Click on the Restore button.
Now I hope you understand that most distros will not boot from a USB flash drive. They generally require some special modifications to do so. You should find out in advance how that can be done for the distro you are using. Unfortunately I can't help you with that.

Shared folder read-only for other users

We setup a new iMac with three accounts for members of the family. Two have admin rights. We installed Quicken Essentials 2010 for Mac, and put the Quicken data file in the Users/Shared/Quicken folder. Everything worked great for user #1 who copied the file to the shared Quicken folder.
User #2 (also an admin) was not able to open Quicken, as an error stating the file was read-only. I checked permissions, and set user1 and user2 with read/write and everyone with read/write. Basically, all permissions on that data file are read/write for everyone.
That still did not work. Then, I set user2 as the owner. Now, user2 can use Quicken and the file, but user1 cannot. Same error.
How do we get it so that files in the Shared folder are really shared and accessible to everyone?

The solution that I discovered to work: Place your quicken data file(s) on an external drive (or create a partition if you only have access to a single hard drive) and have permissions on that drive (o volume) set to "ignore ownership on this volume" It works for me. Both accounts can now access my single quicken data file. To set the permissions on a drive/volume, select the drive or volume, choose "get info" from the file menu and at the bottom of the get info window mark the box "Ignore ownership on this volume".

BackUp Server Volume to local USB Drive with TM, HowToDo?

Hello
I read in many threads that people want to backup their local drive to a server. I want to do the reverse. I want to backup one of the shared volumes to a local USB drive by using Time Machine?
How can I configure this. The Server Volume is not recognised by Time Machine.
Please tell me how I can manipulate this?
Regards
Gérard

What is wrong with that??
Nothing, if you run TM *on the server,* where they're either internal or directly-attached via F/W or USB.
But can't run TM *on a remote Mac* to back-up those drives.

Unable to access external USB drive on my windows machine

I have an XP SP2 box with several partitions. I Just purchased a MacMini (fisrt time apple user). I have joined the maac to the same workgroup as the XP box and can access all the partitions on the XP box with no problem. With the exception of the C: drive and the External USB drive.
I have the drive at Fat32 and can connect directly to the mac with no problems. Read, write all works fine. connect back to the XP box and I get an error -43. It ask for a user name and password and knows if I use the wrong password. I can even see a list of shares on the sub folders of the external drive but get the error when I try to access.
Thanks in advance
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.4)

This could be a smart design inside XP. FAT32 can't store file ownership so maybe it refuses to share a FAT format drve? From a security point of view this would be the right thing to do. On the other hand it could be a bug in XP that just by dumb lock looks like it is doing the right thing.
Either way it sounds like you have a good workaround: put the drive on the Mac and let the Mac share the drive. It's best if the drive is reformatted for the Mac so that user ownership and permissons can be used.
Don't worry one computer can't know how another's dive is formatted. The network hides this. All my shared files are on EXT3 formatted drives on a Linux server. All the clients see is "SBM".

Mac Pro - Reads USB Drive only in Windows

For the past couple weeks I have been sharing 'Word' documents on a USB drive using both Windows and Mac OS platforms. A couple days ago the Mac side of the computer stopped recognizing the USB drive. It does even show the drive on the desktop. I tried putting the drive in the other USP port. This didn't help. When I turn on the Windows side, using XP, the drive works fine.
Am I doing something wrong? Can I use the same USB drive to share files? Or, do I need try another way to share files between platforms?
If this doesn't work, I was thinking of putting my files on Google Documents and accessing almost everything via the Internet.

I recently had the reverse happen to me. I had a FAT formatted flash drive that I would frequently put into a device that needed non-Mac. I also used to use it a lot with Windows - Mac transfers. Plugged it into a Windows computer and it said it needed formatting. The only think I can think of is occasionally something gets written to the drive in a form that the other system can't handle. I'd copy off any files that are valuable then reformat the drive to FAT and see if it then works.

USB drive cannot format

So I just bought an 8gb usb drive, and after bootcamp assistant failed to copy my windows iso to it, I was forced to eject it. Now all format and erase options in disk utility are greyed out. I've tried formatting it in windows and no luck. Windows tells me it's write only. I've tried every fix I can find (boot from safe mode w/ command prompt, regedit, diskutil in terminal) and NONE have worked. Right now terminal is telling me that the usb is read only, has no file system, and no mount point. PLEASE HELP!

In Disk Utility (/Applictions/Utilities/Disk Utility.app), can you partition the USB drive?
Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
Select your USB drive from the list on the right. It should not have any indentation (which is for the volumes on the drive).
Select "Partition" from the tabs.
Change "Partition Layout" to "1 Partition".
Give the partition a name and format.
Click "Apply".
Important note: Be careful to select the correct disk as partitioning a disk will erase any data stored on the disk. I advise that you disconnect all other external drives from your computer (except the one you want to reformat) so you do not accidently erase the wrong drive.

How do I set-up a Shared Folder to automatically grant read

In OS 10.6.8, how do I set-up a Shared folder to automatically grant read & write access to all new MS Office files? Older files are fine. But, when new files are created and saved by one registered user, those files are "read-only" when opened by a different registered user, even though the permissions that are on the "Shared Folder" are read and write for each of the registered user groups. Can't this be changed somehow? The computer is used by two different work groups and some of the WORD or PPTX files are shared by both both work groups and are in the /users/shared folder when one of the user groups creates a new file and saves it to the Shared folder, it can't be edited unless saved with a different name. I need to be able to fix this. I assume it's an Office problem. If I can fix using terminal commands, please be detailed.
Thank you.

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How to remove a computer from my shared folder in Finder?

Just purchased a new iMac. After setting up Wi-Fi network connection, from DSL, now have a unknown computer listed within the shared folder in Finder. Have no idea who this is, but want to remove it. How?

Hi Vonni,
Often people will borrow, piggyback, a network without meaning to do harm. They just want a free internet connection. That being said, would you trust a stranger to plug their computer into your network? The best thing for you to do is read the manual that came with your router and find out how to turn on WPA encryption. Sometimes the router companies have support lines. After this is done, it means that anyone who uses your wireless connection will have to have your network name (AKA "SSID") and password. If you give them the password, they can use your network connection. If not, then they can't. That includes friends and family, when they are at your house for a visit. Giving them the WPA wireless password won't give them access to your computer (unless you use the same password - a bad idea), it will just give them access to your network.
There's no way that I know of to eliminate a computer from your Shared Folder area. That said, it also doesn't mean that they have access to your computer. It might actually mean that you have access to theirs!
To see what they have access to, go to the Apple menu at the top left corner of the screen and start System Preferences. Inside there, you will see "Sharing". If you uncheck all of the boxes in there, there is little that anyone could do.
David
