![]() ![]() What is frustrating is how long it took to finally connect it! I also still cannot explain why it accepts that user account, even though I set it to connect via “Use Device Password” instead of “Use User Accounts.” Anyways, as much as I appreciate Firecore for making this software, I am frustrated by the lack of support from Firecore, EVEN AFTER, I purchased again the upgrade to get lifetime updates. Overall, I’m very thankful for everyone’s suggestions, and glad that it finally worked. When I first set up the Disk in the Airport Utility to “Use Accounts,” Finder would show two connected disks: “MVP’s Airport Extreme” and “192.168.24.85.” When I clicked on either, the hard drive would open, but there would be no files! I even connected the hard drive locally to my computer to Index it, and after connecting it again, the it still would show blanks in the hard drive. I put in the password for MarkV and it connected. Afterwards, it prompted me to enter the device password. To test the connection first, I went on my computer to Finder to “Go -> Connect to Server” and put in smb://192.168.24.85. ![]() I then did “Test connection” and it instantly connected. Password: What I used to set up the MarkV user account. Even though I’m using “Use device password” now, it is still recognizing the account i made when I set it to “use User accounts.” Username: MarkV (one interesting thing is that this was an account that I set up when in the Disk section of Airport, I set up this username. Other names like “MVPs-Airport-Extreme.local” did not work.) Server: 192.168.24.85 (The IP address of the Airport Extreme. I set up the hard drive to “use device password.” Then when setting it up on Infuse, I used the following settings: After much trial and error, it finally worked! The solution was a hybrid between the two suggestions. ![]() So i hope you all enjoy it, ps if you disconnect your HDD from the AE you need to retest the connection and save it, and it will fail the first time. ![]() THAT WOULD BE NO ONE!!! i got no help off fire core and google is empty on this matter, this was pure trial and stumbling error, 12hrs of it, You are all welcome!!! just want to say a big fat thank you to all the people that helped me find all this… “My Files” section select the media and hold the select button and then select to add it to your favourites and exit and enjoy. Ok now test the connection - it will fail!!! test it again and it will pass!!! save it and move on!! then go to your media player and in the Password: ******* (abcdefg - same as the account setup) Username: Apple TV (same as the user account we setup) Server: Dans-AirPort-Extreme.local (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, NO ’ AND ENSURE YOU USE THE CORRET CAPS) Make a note of what you called your Airport Extreme in the AirportUtility: (most of the time it uses your name and ads an 's) like Dan Dan’s make note of the name and the spelling and the capitals i.e. In the add share section add you own one and this is how: Now the golden tidbit: in the media player section, in settings, where you need to select your “share” if it shows up good for you if not here you go Now on a PC (AirportUtility installed) if you go to “my computer” and then you see the HDD you’ll now see a networked HDD, and another one too called Apple TV - they are the same don’t mess with them but you can now double click on the apple tv one and wirelessly access the HDD, and the transfer all your media in that file. I called mine Apple TV and gave it a password “abcdefg” then save the changes, and reboot the AE (hdd attached) once it is done you are 1/3 done.
