Now “connect as” is not an option anymore as it can’t be clicked. Forever stuck on “connecting”

 

The insanity goes on.

You have a My Book Live.  It’s not a typical direct access external drive.  it’s a network drive.  And no, it’s not just plug and play.  You do need to do some setup in order to be able to use it.  So, did you try to set up the remote access, like through WD2go.com?  Because, as of right now, we’re experiencing technical issues with the servers, and are waiting for them to be fixed.
