WD Legacy Products My Book Live

My MBL 2TB has stopped showing up in Finder under Shared on my Macbook but I can access the dashboard.  Anybody an idea what is going on? I’ve tried manually adding following an instruction on another post it but it can’t be found.

Mac OS X: 10.8.3

MBL firmware: 02.42.02-012

Hello,

Have you tried the following steps to make sure that the drive is properly mapped.

  • In Finder, click Go and point to Connect to Server.

  • Enter  smb://mybooklive and click  Connect.

 

Note: If you renamed the network storage during device setup, enter “smb://newdevicename" (where newdevicename is the name you gave the WD ShareSpace or My Book World device).

  • Choose the radio button “Connect as Registered User”.

  • Leave the “Workgroup or Domain” field as the default but enter “admin” into the “Name” and “Password” fields.

  • Choose a share on the drive.

  • Click the “OK” button.
