Osx 10.6.8 software update cannot connect to internet pro#

(I have put almost 30 movies on the drive so far from my Mac Pro 3,1). But I have had access to it, so i know that the connect abilityto it does work. So, it if never worked at all, and i could not have had any access at all…that would be one thing. Lastly, i did have access and do have access periodically, but rarely, via the finder. The ongoing problem, is that this access, is extremely limited, and only works on a ‘whim’. If i am able to have Finder / Desktop access that will be more than fine. To be honest i don’t really need the app, and will uninstall it. However, the app has never worked, and only given me error messages. It only recognized the WD Mycloud as well as the IP address, which i entered into my network, to ensure that it would allow access to it.

I only installed the Mac OSX desktop app “WD My Cloud.app”. I did not do any updates (that i knowingly am aware of), and the version of “WD My Cloud.app” is Version 0.0.0įYI - i never installed any application onto the Mycloud drive itself.

How to access the Dashboard on a My Cloud (single bay) device All configuration of the My Cloud is done through the My Cloud Dashboard.

When in doubt try to access the My Cloud Dashboard as a troubleshooting step. It is also a good idea to reserve an IP address for the My Cloud within the local network router’s administration interface so the My Cloud always uses the same IP address. If one is having trouble accessing the My Cloud by it’s name in Finder, try accessing the My Cloud by it’s IP address instead as a troubleshooting step. My Cloud Desktop App No Longer Works with a My Cloud or Login Not Authorized Recent firmware updates to the My Cloud breaks that program. What specific “My Cloud app” are you trying to use? The WD Sync app? The My Cloud Desktop app? If trying to use the My Cloud Desktop program, that software has been end of life since 2016 and is no longer supported by WD. On my mac pro 3,1 i downloaded and installed the WD My Cloud app… I’ll have to find a way to upload the remaining 6 images. (Hopefully the 8 screenshot attachments uploaded ok) - EDIT - new users can only upload 2 images. My Macpro 3,1 is connected via ethernet cable, and is having issues, and i’m not sure why. I also have a macbook Pro that is able to connect to my network via wifi, and i’m able to see the WD Mycloud in the finder and desktop no problem. Something real screwy is happening here, and i’m not sure why. None of them will recognize my Mycloud, even if it was previously recognized on the first attempt to connect.

“connect to devices with activation code” If i click on any of the links on the bottom right in the app (screen shot below): After trying this, when i try to connect again (using the app), it doesn’t recognize the drive at all. (see several attached screen caps below). The app recognizes it, as well as the IP address of it, but has never let me connect.Īs for the WD My Cloud app, it will recognize the drive, as well as the IP address, but when i try to connect to it, it won’t. It will “sometimes” reappear, and when i try to connect again, it gives me the same issue.įYI - this is the ONLY way though, that i’ve ever been able to connect (when it lets me) to my mycloud drive. It will show up in my finder, and after it says “connection failed”, and i click ok, the mycloud disappears from the finder. I’ve had to resort to unplugging the power cord from the mycloud and let it sit for a minute, and then plug it back in. Is there a way i can “wake up” the drive from my computer, or in some other way, other than me having to go to unplug it and plug it back in? Other times, it won’t show up on the finder at all. Sometimes i’m able to see it in my finder, and i’m able to connect.

I have the mycloud plugged in all the time. However, there are a few things that i can’t get working.

Osx 10.6.8 software update cannot connect to internet tv#

When i was able to connect, i was able to put movies etc on it to which, was very handy to watch on our smart tv in the living room. That being said, the drive shows up in my finder, and i can “sometimes” connect. I’m attaching screen caps below to show you what i’m facing. On my mac pro 3,1 i downloaded and installed the WD My Cloud app, and it recognizes the drive, but it won’t connect, regardless of how i try. I had purchased a WD Mycloud 4TB and just set it up in my home on our network, and i’m having some varying issues, which I will try to list below. Hopefully i can find some assistance / help to make this run smoothly!
