Hi all, have just bought a Live Book and just read about the security problem with java. Instead of installing the online software which installs java can i use the disk that come with it instead. I dont need to use the cloud just want it for media streaming and with phones and tablets.
You don’t need to install Java on your PC in order to input codes on Phones / Tablets.
I need to input the codes for the phones/tablets,
If you’re doing that, you ARE wanting ot use the cloud services, because the only apps that require a code are WD 2go and WD Photos, both of which are Cloud-based apps.
Sorry if i confused. Need the program to generate the codes for WD2go and WDphoto to access the WD live book. As i understand a computer needs java to access the WD live book but thought the apps did not.
First sorry for being a noob. When you say web manager do you mean dashboard if so i have to install the program to use dashboard to gain access to MBL and set up users and then the apps. When i read the manual it says about a “java applert” on the computer but apart from accessing the MBL it will only be used by games consuls, tablets and phones.
Correct - We remvoed this ability from the Dashboard because of all the issues currently happening around Java - and seeing that many of the updates to browsers are really clamping down on java code being run in the browser.
I used to use those little folder icons in the Shares section of the dashboard frequently to connect to specific shares as needed. Now that they have been removed, can you give me some guidance on how to connect to those shares? I’m using both Mac and PC.
Probably the simplest way to do it would be installing Quick View. It will give you an icon in your notification area (by the clock) that will let you launch the shares, dashboard, and other options.
