On the disk tab there was a partition table. I had to go into that table and highlight a drive, then stop interacting and move down where it then asked if I wanted to give permission and if I wanted to require a password. After that I did an update. The reason my second drive wasn't showing up was apparently I had not gone through those steps with the second partition in the drive partition table. Hope this helps.

I have a 3TB seegate goflex connected to my airport extreme. When I go into the disk tab of the utility, I don't see any partitions in the table. I don't see any sidebar as noted in the below message. I have share over WAN checked and have set up this using two accounts (Mine and my wife's) for the present. However, I can't figure out how to get the disk tab dialog to see even one partition. I'm not going to partition the drive; just use the whole 3TB to store files. I use carbon copy backup on a firewire drive; so am not going to use time machine. I was sent two articles by apple concerning setting up the back to my mac feature which I have set up, but both articles won't open when I open the links. I am told there are too many redirects. How do I get my airport extreme to see my 3TB drive? Thanks. On Feb 4, 2012, at 12:19 PM, Bill Holton wrote: Hi. This worked great. But now I have two further questions. 1: Is there any way to rename a drive once it's discovered from the Airport. Just pressing Enter doesn't work like it does with drives directly connected. 2: I have also attached me HP printer to the Airport Extreme. My mini can find it easily, but the Windows 7 and Win XP boxes don't seem to be able to find it. Am I doing something wrong or does Router printing sharing only work with Macs? Thanks.

VO-space on the Airport Extreme you wish to work with. Press the Edit button to get at the configuration options. Select the Disk tab to see the options available in that pane. They are similar to those in the previous AU. Make sure that both your partitions are shared in the format you prefer. Update if necessary. The MacOS will mount whichever share you have setup for your Time Machine backups as "Time Machine Backups" on your machine as the Time Machine is doing it's job. If you have shared the partitions through AU, you can access the partitions individually via the Sidebar by first choosing your Airport Extreme from the Shared section of the Sidebar. Your partitions will then appear in the window where you can mount one or both as you please. They will not appear automatically or upon startup unless you set this up in the Users & Groups pane of your system Preferences. This is usually done by first mounting the drive you wish auto-mounted, going to the Login Items of Users & Groups system Pref, then adding the volume you wish to auto-mount. Hope this clears some things up for you. If you're still confused, let me know. Later... On 2012-02-04, at 9:26 AM, Bill Holton wrote: Hi. Has anyone tried the updated Airport Utility. It seems rather inaccessible to me. Once I found a way into the menus with bay station, wireless, etc. but I can't find my way back there. Before, I had a 2 tarabyte drive partitioned into two 1t drives connected to my airport extreme and I could se them both on my desktop. I had all the ports on the extreme filled and had to use the Mini wirelessly, so I moved the drive to directly connected to mmy mini where they also worked fine. Now I have my mini connected with a wired connection, want to move them back. I can find the drive I use for my time machine backups, but the other drive simply will not show up. I reformatted it with Mac Journaling, and I have looked everywhere. I use the Finer to go to my computer, to network, to my airport, it's just not there. I did get into the airport software yesterday and make sure the box is checked to connect external drives. For now the drives are labeled test and TM for time machine. On my desktop the TM drives shows up, but it's called Time Machine backups. The Test drive will not show up. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
