I have my AEBS up and running normally with 7.3.1. I have my 300gb seagate with a usb connection up and running and connected. I have 10.5.2 and all updates on my 2.0ghz Core2 iMac. I have no "shared" section in my finder window. I have set finder pref to show all items in the sidebar finder>pref>sidebar. It shows up as connected to my AEBS with the airport utility. I double click the icon and click on the disks icon in the top menu. It is there. It is not in a shared section of a finder window, and it doesn't show up as available for time machine when looking for a drive to use. HELP
Maybe you need to format the drive you're using as the airdisk? It looks like there's no partition on it.
It was used as a direct external before, and with system 10.5.1. It was formated then, and would show up if I cut it on. It never showed up with time machine, but I thought with the firmware update, that it would.
I did originally have the system firewall on, but it is turned off now. I have had it off for over 12 hours now.
Connect the drive directly to your Mac and run disk utility repair. Also, if it has a HFS+ case sensitive file system I do not believe the AirPort can use it.
did a repair and reformat. Then while plugged into the iMac I did a TM backup. I have connected it to the AEBS and it now shows up as a shared drive but TM doesn't recognize it as useable to do backups. Any ideas?
