Hi. I'm sorry if i ask again. I've read in AC Ryan forum that Essential can be a PC slave when connected to a PC. Problem is when i connect to my Mac and also PC, i can't see the internal drive.
Is it faulty or do i need to get a new firmware? BTW, for your info, i just got the Essential on the last saturday. The Internal Hard drive is already been formatted using the AC Ryan. Much appreciated if somebody can help me. TQ |

Yes, i'm using the right cable. That's why i'm lost.
When i connect my mac or pc to Essential, the logo will appear on the TV screen and stay there until i remove the usb cable. But on my mac or pc, i can't find the HDD. QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jun 13 2011, 12:45 PM) connecting the unit w/int hdd via usb to pc is just like connecting an ext powered hdd to a pc. power is on? you used right cable?  |

Coz Player oledi connected to TV. I can use an external hard disk to copy to the internal drive.
But when i connect PC using usb, i cannot detect the HDD from my PC. Strange huh! Anyway i will try disconnecting from TV and see. Will update. Many Thx QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jun 13 2011, 05:59 PM) PC connected to player connected to TV? Why do you do that? Usually it is player-TV or player-PC. Think it only function in one mode, not both. What if you connect just player to PC or Mac - can you read the HDD inside the player? |

Yay. It works. I disconnect from tv and use a new USB cable. Thank you very much AVFAN.
QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jun 13 2011, 08:16 PM) all clear now...the problem is the player is connected to both tv and pc - can't have it both at same time. only one mode at a time - either the player is on playback mode or it's on hdd-pc mode. can't have movie playing and you delete the file with the pc! |

Hey dannygeni,
Actually after changing my cable, I have no problem connecting to ACryan. And best of all after installing 3G nfts, I can copy from my mac to a nfts drive  QUOTE(dannygeni @ Jun 15 2011, 11:38 AM) @summerkw mac and ac ryan dont mix..anyway mac with many windows product also dont mix. i using pohd 2 normally transfer from imac using router. if plug in directly it wont detect. so for ur case the best is using windows notebook or pc. lucky i still have my windows notebook around. |
