Hardware :: Won't Work Wih AEBS / Bootcamp And AirDisk Streaming
Mar 8, 2009
1. The Bootcamp installation of Windows XP sees my wlan network but fails to connect. Only the guest network works with xp.
2. On the OS X side: connected to the dualband network via N, when I try to play a movie which is stored on my airdisk, every few minutes it skips a few seconds... very annoying.
My AEBS wireless setting is set to automatic
EDIT:
I tried some different settings with really strange results. With the networkutility I checked the connectionspeed:
Restarted the AEBS with the setting "automatic = a/n - b/g/n" -> 300Mbit/s
Disconnected my MBP and reconnected it -> 130Mbit/s
Restarted the AEBS with the setting "N Only 5GHz - b/g " -> 300Mbit/s
Disconnected my MBP and reconnected it -> 54Mbit/s

I'm planning to connect an external hard disk to an AEBS and open the right ports to allow Internet access. I plan on distributing the HDs IP address and password among some friends for a collaborative project. Is there any way for me to monitor the inbound/outbound traffic of such a situation? Perhaps even log which IP addresses do what, so I have a history of each user's actions? This sounds like something akin to an incredibly stripped down version of the Admin Tool suite available on OS X Server.

I followed the guide over in the MBA Forum to forward the right ports in order to access my USB hard disk over the internet. I can access it on LAN just fine, and it all goes swimmingly until I'm asked to enter the "Private IP Address" of the device. The guide states to enter an IP address in the fashion of "192.168....", but as you might be able to tell in the picture, the first three octets of my address field are greyed out and unchangeable, and only let me enter an address in the form of "10.0....". Following the guide to the end is futile, and device connection doesn't work as advertised. Am I missing something? Is my problem clearly with entering the wrong IP, or what.

Say I search for "mp3" on my airdisk via finder. No results show up even though I know for a fact there are mp3's on the air disk.
I select "shared" and "filename" in the search bar when it comes up to search all shared drives with the filename (which has mp3 in it). Is this because spotlight doesn't index this drive?

I am experimenting with two drives connected to my new AirPort Extreme. The first is for Time Machine, has been working well. The second is the experiment. The second drive is a storage drive that is usually attached to my iMac and is included in the Time Machine backups of the iMac. My question is if I decide to keep the storage drive on the AirPort then what would be the best way to keep it backed up? Could I run Carbon Copy Cloner from my laptop or would that just be a big mess? The goal would be to backup the storage drive to the other drive connected on the AirPort Extreme. I can live with the storage drive on my iMac if it is felt that this is a bad idea... just would be nice to be able to access the drive without having to have the iMac on... maybe I need to buy a less power consuming Mac Mini to be used as a server.

I have an external drive connected to my AirPort Extreme Base Station; the drive has 3 partitions, and we have multiple Macs in the house. Is there a way to specify which partitions are available to which Mac? For example, I'd like partition #1 to be available only to Mac #1, and so on.

when you have TC or AEBS and have a usb hard drive hooked up to it. What is the difference between going to Finder and doing a Connect To Server to map the drive versus having it show an AirDisk?
Somehow I just cannot have my external drive show up as an AirDisk.

So around last week my airport has been giving me some problems first of all it allows me to connect to my airdisk for about 30 min, then after 30 min when I click it to use I get this error (Connection Failed)(The server �Airport� may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.)
Im really confused it always worked without a problem and now I get this the way to fix it is to restart my airport but then after like 30 min I get the same error.. Its also impossible to do time machine backups as well unless I restart the router a bunch of time.

Every evening (almost) I loose my internet connection. Thought it was my provider, but hooked up with a cable and the connection is fine.
I do have a WD 1T USB drive attached for TM backups of my wifes MB, so I�m thinking it has to have something to do with this set up.

I currently have one router (AEBS) distributing service to over 5 machines at times. Considering buying a new router, and was wondering if this will improve the speed of the internet (also going to upgrade to 50 MB service). I wouldn't have it connected to a computer though, rather kept in my bedroom plugged in. Is this possible or does a router have to be connected to a computer at all times to distribute wifi signal? I understand setting it up initially with a computer, but does it need at all times to work?

I'm sure there is a few people on here that have made the swap - is it worth it? Is the difference in speed noticible to warrant an upgrade.
My current setup:
2.4 MBPu
Mac Mini (coming soon)
Dell Inspiron
Canon Printer
Touch
Slingbox (hardwired to AEBS)
AE (old school version)
WD 1TB external (connected to AEBS via usb)
All currently connected to a AEBS wireless.

What I want to be able to do is plug into the Ethernet ports on this AEBS, and I want that to use wireless to the other wireless router to give me network access. Here is the deal, I have a computer that doesn't have wireless network on it, so it's only Ethernet. I have the AEBS at my desk, and I want to connect the hardwired computer into the AEBS. I want the AEBS to then wirelessly connect that computer that is hard-wired to the network...

I currently keep my iTunes library on an external drive, connected to my Airport Extreme. I also have another drive attached to the AEBS that I would like to back my iTunes library to.
Can this be done? I've got the full version of Super Duper which will let me back up local drives to any network drive but I can't seem to get it to back to to a network drive to a network drive.

hows it going. Im new here but ive been a Mac Geek for 12 yrs. Anyways ive got a question that started out as a curiosity but now i "need' to know...lol!
Basically ive been using Connect360 to stream music to my XBOX and the occasional movie. I will soon be swapping out my iMac G5's HDD (250GB) for a WD (750GB.) Ive decided to buy an enclosure for the "old" HDD and connect it to an ABEX as an Airdisk. Connect360 is great but having my iMacs fans going and the "jet engines" they call fans on the xbox, can get pretty annoying after a while.
So essentially what i want to do is stream off the Airdisk but have the iMac off. Is there anyway i can make this happen?

My setup:
Mac mini with 4GB ram (self upgrade) and 120 GB internal HD
Attached 1TB HD for Time Machine
Airport Extreme
Attached 500GB HD (to Airport Extreme) for Airdisk
I've put all of my media onto the Airdisk networked drive (music, photos etc.) so I can access them from my Mini, my fiancee's Macbook when she's connected to my home network, and plan to access remotely using iDisk when I sign up for MobileMe. Now the problem I'm having is that Time Machine doesn't seem to be backing up FROM the Airdisk to the external HD I am using for Time Machine nor does the Time Machine app give me the option of selecting this Airdisk networked HD.
I hope that I am missing something here (which is possible and probable) for the most important files that I have that I would not want to loose are on my Airdisk. I want to keep these files on the Airdisk for i don't want to loose the easy network and remote access to these files for this was the chief selling point for me of the Airport Extreme vs far less expensive routers, but I want to backup these files without spending the time or money for a backup solution outside of Time machine.

I want to dedicate a drive to XP Pro using Bootcamp. Does OSX need to be on that disk, or can a Bootcamp installtion be initiated from the other drive with OSX on it?

I have a old macbook, late 07 white macbook to be exact.What the problem was before OS X wouldnt work was that some certain programs would stop working. First it was Macromedia programs like director, then it was games like Warcraft III. What would happen is i would click on the applications and i would hear a rapid clicking noise then it would stop, like something was loading and then suddenly stopped. It would make this noise 3 times and then the whole laptop would lock up for a minute then it would say the application quit suddenly.
At first i thought it was the application so i deleted it and tried to reinstall it, no luck it wouldnt even re install. Other applications would work so it was rather confusing. Then this error would happen when i tried to install the new patch for WoW. So i went to restart my computer to see if that would fix it.This is where the BIG problem begins.
After i turned off my computer and turned it on again it would only load up to the blue screen, the cursor shows up on the upper left then that loading noise starts, then sometimes the cursor disappears and the screen turns into a different shade of blue then back to the same and the cursor shows up again.This repeats forever, one time i left it like this for an hour and it was still doing the same thing. So now im stuck on my Windows side which is really confusing. If OS X wont work wouldnt Windows not work too?Also, i tried safe mode and it wouldnt work. I have my OS X cds here but im concerned if i use them wouldnt i lose my Windows side?

i'd like to get the ATV but want to know what to expect. I hope that a FW 400 HD would be ok for streaming all content (as music is seamless with just the airport express), but it would even more sweet if i could just get an new AE and set up an external media library to stream over Airdisk.
so, is Airdisk and it's USB interface limitations still enough for the ATV? would be watching high quality DVD rips and lossless music files mostly.

I'm looking for some backup / sync software so that i can backup my macbook pro to my USB hard drive attached to my airport extreme. I've only found chronosync to work so far are there any others?
I already use time machine to a different disk so am just looking for another solution.

The Airport Extreme has been a joy to setup and use but have made no progress on setting up a shared disk.
I just picked up an early 2009 Airport Extreme and wanted to set up the disk through the USB port. When in Airport Utility, I can see the drive connected under the "Disks" tab--but this is as far as I can get setting it up. None of my PCs can see this drive at this stage--but the Airport Extreme obviously knows there's a drive connected.

I just finished ripping my whole cd library to apple lossless, and I want to get it off my laptop onto my airdisk (a raid 1 500gbx2 drive upstairs, attached to my airport extreme base station.) I want to be able to see my locally stored (lower bit rate aac) stuff on my laptop and be able to connect to my "big" external lossless library when I want to, since I ideally don't want to keep this huge library on my hard drive in my macbook.

I have heard that both Parallels and BootCamp are good programs to run Windows on a Mac. But, I have recently found out that there is also something called Fusion that also works. Which is better? Parallels,BootCamp, or Fusion? My guess is that Parallels works the best. At least that's my opinion just from browsing around and comparing the differences. As I don't even own a Mac (January 2008).

I want to install bootcamp with using Win 7 but I have both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Am I able to use 64 bit without problem or do I need to stay with the 32 bit version? I am using a iMac (early 2009 model) with 8 GB ram and ATI 4850 HD video 512 MB ram.
