Airport Extreme with a USB hard drive

I have iMac, retina runs El Capitan, I have a fairly new Airport Extreme 6.3.6 running.  My desire is to attach a USB drive and have available files can I access any of my computers.  Also have old iMac and a MBP (about 2012 or 2013).  All three are attached to Airport Extreme, through ethernet cables.  I use the wireless for iPhone and iPad, not for computers.

I have a Seagate 2 TB hard drive. I connected directly to the latest iMac and all is well. Get the connect to Airport Extreme, it does not appear in the Finder.  After reading several articles I tried to install this on a powered USB hub and the HD in it.  Still does not appear in the Finder.

I tried to reformat the hard disk, but would not be able to afford it. I have app NTSF on iMac.

I hope that's enough detail for someone to offer assistance.  Please, I beg you!  -Kathy

You need to connect to a computer and reformat the drive as Mac OS extended (journaled). AirPort Extreme cannot read USB drives to NTFS or exFAT format.

  • Satellite Z930 - suspend the problem with connected USB hard drive

    Hello

    Owner of a newly acquired Satellite Z930-15 X, I have a few questions/problems:

    1) suspends the work of RAM and good hibernation when there is no external hard drive connected. If there is one is connected, the laptop immediately returns back to suspend state. Is there a solution for this?

    (2) is there a way to selectively disable Bluetooth? Currently, only toggle airplane mode is available (with Fn + F8 or Windows 8 charm bar). This activates / deactivates the Wi - Fi or Bluetooth I think.

    (3) the portable computer is wobbly on reception. I put a bit of thin paper at the corner of a bottom (bottom left) so that it can be stabilized. Apparently, the problem is also mentioned in another thread. Is there a suggestion to fhix this problem?

    Thank you.

    1 / what HARD drive is connected to your laptop? When I use the external 2.5 HARD drive with my Satellite U940 I n t have problem.

    2 / I ve tested it on my machine and I noticed the same thing. When WIFI is disabled software BT is off too. I didn t find a way how to separately control adapter WLAN and BT.

    3 / I think that this issue needs to be clarified with Toshiba service. They must check and perhaps exchange rubbers inside.

  • The Airport Extreme with Time Machine and HD 1 t

    I have an Airport Extreme with built-in hard drive of 1 t. My iMac has a 1 t hard drive too. Time Machine has successfully supported the HD integrated for a few years now, but he can't. The message said: he needs 2.7 T. Why would it need to back up a hard drive of 1 t?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list, so everything there should be backup is the HD 1 t, which still has unused space on it. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list

    I think that you include perhaps instead of with the exception of the...

    If you look at time Machine... the list of disks, you should have is excluded... If remove you it from the list of the excluded, they are included...

    It is opposite to almost anything else, I saw where you include on the list of things.

    In this menu area, you must have all of the listed external hard drives. Because they are excluded not included... If your list is empty as mine... then all are INCLUDED.

    Hello

    Check updates firmware for the Airport Extreme.

    ---------------------

    Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
    Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows

  • Connect to airport extreme USB hard drive

    I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

    Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

    The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.
    (Airport: how to mount a volume of Airport Extreme USB hard drive in Mac OS X and Windows - Apple Support)

    Normally, I can understand something like this, I thought I would ask for help rather than making circles for another hour.

    Any advice?  Thank you.

    OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

    ... and I now know that 'The airport disk utility' is no longer (and does not have the article I cited above), but I'm not even see my drive hard when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.

  • The airport no longer recognizes my hard drive Seagate

    I have a macbook pro mid-2010 with the latest operating system. For months, I was able to access a Seagate hard drive via the airport. After attempting to import pictures into my library of photos on the external hard drive, the app won out, and suddenly he could not find the hard drive. My AirPort Utility application still showed the drive hard, but with a yellow "!" triangle and said she had lost its connection to the server. My wifi works, the airport still works. My hard drive works when I plug it into the USB port on my macbook, it just no longer works as part of the airport.

    Any suggestions?

    At this point, I would say that you do a ' default ' reset on your AirPort base station. Then set up again for the two goals of networking and to share the USB hard drive.

    Given a PC without hard disk...
    How can you use a flash drive instead?
    So, indeed, the USB key works as an SSD...
    I saw online options that gives partial functionality of the system... and an option that is more than $100 (more than the system's worth)...
    None of these options are acceptable in the circumstances.
    It is an effort to create a machine for a particular use, built from a recycled pc for which hard drive was removed and destroyed by the original owner...
    The criterion is that it must work just like it was a mechanical drive running xp pro sp3 with all updates, etc...

    You can not install XP on a Flash as his unsupported drive. Your only two options are a traditional hard drive or Solid State Drive (SSD).

  • AC2400 (E8350) router cannot map USB hard drive in Windows network.

    Hi all

    I recently bought the Linksys AC2400 wireless router and a USB 3 Western Digital Elements 2 TB hard drive.

    The network works perfectly, except for the USB hard drive. The firmware on the router recognizes it okay, but in the windows network, I can't access your hard drive. I simply get a path not found error.

    I tried:

    Y access inside or outside Windows Homegroup.

    -Re - formatting in the linksys configuration (Fat32... There is room for improvement)

    -Test the USB drive directly into the PC, works perfectly and formatted in NTFS.

    -Turn off all firewalls.

    -Tried the port USB2/Esata instead of the USB3

    Also, from another computer on the network, I get the same error.

    Pre-installed on the hard drive was a mediaserver program called Twonky. He wants autoconnet to my router using port 9000, but the web interface I get then does nothing. Also when I enable the mediaserver configuration linksys website, he created a mediaserver in windows network, wth pilots twonk. But I can't change that.

    When I test the ftp server, I had access to the hard drive without any problem. This suggests that it is not a compatibility problem.

    I could also map the Windows ftp server, but that does not work on my mediaplayer, I need for this network interface.

    Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong and why windows is unable to connect to your hard drive?

    I didn't install the new version of firmware, because the changelog mentions nothing about the functions of the USB or storage.

    I've added a few photos with the settings, it could be useful.

    THX in advance for any response.

  • Windows 7 and problems with my external hard drives

    I have 2 Lacie (Big Disk Extreme) 1 TB external hard drive attached to my desktop system.

    When I press the Start button and go to devices and printers, the "yellow icons exclamation point warning" are located next to each external hard drive icon.

    Right click on each hard drive icon and going to solve problems, I learned that for each hard drive drivers are missing.

    When I let Windows 7 try 'Apply this difficulty', it is failed every time.  It is said that it cannot search the drivers of these drives.

    Go directly to the site Lacie, there are no drivers to download for these external hard drives (which are around 18 months of age).

    What gives?  How can I get Windows 7 to stop warning me of these external hard drives?  I don't remember having to download all the drivers for these external hard drives when I was with Windows Vista.

  • External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages. __

    External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages.      History
     
    Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
    I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
    People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

    Problem:
    Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
    The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
    This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

    According to the suggestions I have:
    1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
    (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
    (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
    (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
    Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

    Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    Someone knows a solution?

  • VMHost and USB hard drive?

    Is it possible to setup a VMHost to access a USB hard drive? VMHost running ESXi 5.0.

    Still not clear as to why you need to do. It may be possible, but I don't think that's how VDP was intended to be used.

    Here are the steps you should try:

    • Mount the USB drive to the host and make sure that it is not 'automatically' for use by the VMs.
    • Locate the VMDK with backup files.
    • Determine the size of the VMDK.
    • Determine if there is enough space on the USB drive to the file system.
    • Create a VMFS5 file on the USB system.
    • If the USB and the VMDK are visible both from the vSphere client, copy the VMDK to the USB port.
    • If it is not visible from the customer vShpere, use the tools of command line (vmkfstools, CLI power) to copy or clone the VMDK on the USB.

    This seems too real similar work, isn't it?

    Given that the amount of disk space available for the device .5TB is 850 GB, it won't probably enough space on a USB drive, if you have been backing up virtual machines for any amount of time.  An SSD or a SATA hard drive would be more likely to have sufficient capacity.

    If you succeed to move the files to a USB/SSD/HD, what would be your next step?

    If you move the files, wouldn't be simpler to use Storage vMotion?
