• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

• Network external hard drive for media sharing on Xbox 360

  Hello, I just got a new external hard drive. I put a bunch of video files and music to share with my xbox 360. I use windows media player to make the media sharing. I got no problem with it for my regular hard drive in my computer. The first time I plugged my external hard drive to my computer and transferred the files added to the library, it worked fine and the xbox it would be. But after that I restarted my computer, my xbox can't see my external hard drive. I gave her a permanent using MMC drive letter and drive management. But for some reason any xbox will simply not show more. Any ideas? Thank you.

  I had the same problem

  1. Reset the wmp library
  2. Turn on file sharing for each folder on the external hard drive, including the player itself using the same settings.

  3. remove the Xbox 360 exceptions in your firewall

• Hard Drive replacemsnt and number of shared folder

  I share a folder with several subfolders between 2 computers, both running Windows XP - Pro I set up sharing so that changes in the files would be reflected on two computers - the drive on one of the computers failed although the data was recoverable - The Hard drive requiring the replacement was on the computer that received the shared folder.

• Sharing of files and hard drive between computers

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I'm trying to connect two computers, which I named system A and system b. Computers and a DSL modem at wire speed Westel are connected to a router Asus WL-520 through ethernet LAN cables wireless/wired. HP PSC 2355 printer is connected to the router with a USB cable. The LAN on board two computers automatically configures the IP addresses of the form 192.168.x.x, which, in my view, to work. However there is no connectivity between the two computers, systems A and B. They do not see the shared disks and files on the other. The operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with Service Pack 3, n ° 76477-OEM-0015717-31545.

  When I ran the program ipconfig on each a said computer specification that IP routing is not enabled. See the configuration below. IP routing must be enabled in order to have connectivity? How IP routing is enabled in Windows XP? In the Services section of the Control Panel, there is the Routing and remote access, which is disabled and other related networking services, of which some are also disabled.

  Hello

  The display is OK. The routing setting this isOoff is not relevant in your case.

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

  Configure all of the computers to share files and you have a network Lcall.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Moving shared files on external hard drive

  I'm moving my photos, videos and iTunes library on an external hard drive, then remove them from my computer to clear space on my Sony Vaio.  I'm running in endless pop-up windows informing me that ' this folder is shared with other people / deleting this folder it is is no longer shared.  The problem with that is that rather than starting the transfer of a large part of the data and to be able to go do something else while it works for a few hours, I have to stay in front of the computer, as the transfer stops until I approve the transfer.  A waste of time.  I tried to change the files so that they are not shared, but I was told that is not possible.  I am the only user of the computer and there only one account user.

  So two questions:
  1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups and just be able to start a transfer of large file without interruptions?
  2. is there a way to do everything on my computer (including everything I add later) unrequited?  I don't think I have any use for the function.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

  Cause:

  This is due to the way in which the access control list (ACL) is questioned by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the folder parent and child have different permissions, security two entries are returned, which causes the browser to treat the file as if it is shared.

  Method 1: Perform a clean boot

  Follow the steps in the link below to perform the clean boot and see if you can transfer the files.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 in the link to your computer in normal mode.

  Method 2:

  Follow the link below and check if that helps.

  You receive a warning popup when you delete a folder that has a change to the ACL

• file sharing to an external hard drive as in w

  I have and external hard drive and I want to know how the two can talk to each othere like talking about windows on the external hard drive as a music file and the external hard drive intended for each othere and the update and the hard drive if it a new folder in the music file and can more then one file talk to each othere and update each it please tell me know soon bc im getting sick to do one at a time and think is this new then copy it in and it doesn't

  Hi Rae3000,

  Vista cannot update files automatically from music on external drive folder or vice versa.

  When you play a file on your computer or on the Internet, the Player automatically adds the file to your library if it isn't already in your library. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable storage media, a device removable storage, or on a shared network folder

• Homegroups: an external hard drive can be shared in a homegroup in win 7?

  Have established a network of homegroup, sharing of libraries, but I wish I could share an external drive for backups with moving them the reader from one place to another

  Hi abratton. Here's a topic that should help you. Find the section "Include a folder on an external hard drive in a library."

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/include-folders-in-a-library

  Once you have included the files in a library, then make sure you share this library with your homegroup:

• NAS hard drive not accessible more: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

  Dear,

  I am desperately looking for a solution for my specific problem how access my NAS.

  I have a hard drive from Western Digital NAS (Book Live) which worked fine until now. Yet, I just changed my internet provider and I now have a new Fritzbox 6360. Now, I can not access the hard disk of the commune of programs in Windows. I contacted two suppliers already, but without success. I think I have some incorrect settings in my Windows 7, 64 bit. This is the situation:

  -NAS is still working with my old Fritzbox, for testing that I went back-> ok

  -I can access the NAS via the dashboard or a TwonkyServer-> ok

  -When I access it via Windows Explorer, I wonder is to give my credentials (which don't work) or I get the error message: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

  -J' changed my IP address (dynamic even static) and connections, password-> without success.

  -J' tried SFC with the result that found no violation of integrity. -> ok.

  Any idea?

  Can you please turn off the NAS, unplug the cable and Ethernet cable? Wait about 2 minutes then plug all the cables back in. Any security program or firewall to this computer? Try disabling it for now.

  You have another PC or laptop which has Windows 7/8 and try to access the NAS?

  You have a smartphone or a Tablet and download an application for the WD NAS and then try to access files.

• A single hard drive will not be shared on network. All other players share very well.

  A single hard drive will not be shared on network.  All other players share very well.  Don't have a homegroup installation because I also have XP machines.  The drive is on a windows machine 7.   I checked all the settings.  Of course, all the machines are on the same workgroup.  It's just 1 road.  The other 5 on this computer share very well.
