Hi,

I have purchased my WD my cloud 4TB about 2 weeks ago,installed desktop App on my laptop(windows vista) everything worked very well but 2 days ago when I tried to access via desktop app, I got the message " failed to connect to device " please note the following points:

  • I can see the device in my network , able to copy files on device.

  • Dashbord works fine - Front Panel LED is solid blue

-I can access Dashboard via "WD Quick View " but again "open " option on WD Quick View doesn’t work.

  • I have un-installed and installed App several times , didn’t help.

this is really frustrating, I have spent 2 days to fix this and still struggling.

appriciate yor help

Thanks

Hi sadeg, welcome to the WD Community. Have you tried doing a system only restore for the My Cloud? Check page 84 of the manual for more information.

Is it possible for you to try installing the desktop app on another PC and test it there?

I don’t have any other computer to test whether I see same problem in another computer but I am able to view and access through my mobile phone (using mobile App) which is connected to same network router( Wi-Fi), mobile app works.

In that case I recommend you to contact tech support directly, they can help you out.
