Iomega Storage Manager Os X Download
Really starting to frustrate me now, got the family a Mac for christmas, my first real journey into the world of desktop Apples, but it's being really frustrating. I have an Iomaga iConnect with a hard drive and a printer attached, the mac sees, connects and prints to the printer, however although it sees the iconnect in Finder when I click 'Connect As' and enter one of the users and thier password it then pops up a message saying. There was a problem connecting to the server 'storage.local'. The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. I have tried connecting just as it is found in Finder and by forcing it to connect as AFP, but no joy either way. Nick, When you say you solved your problem does this mean that you have the Iomega iConnect working with Mac OSX 10.7 ('Lion')? Have you been able to use Time Machine with your connected drives?

Iomega still indicates that OSX 10.7 is not supported and in fact state that there are sufficient changes in this operating system that support is not available: Support limitations due to architectural changes in Mac OS X 10.7: Apple OS X Lion (10.7) introduces major architectural changes to Apple's network protocols that break Time Machine functionality for existing network storage devices. Customers who upgrade their Mac to OS X Lion (10.7) will break existing Time Machine support on the following Iomega devices: iConnect Wireless Data Station.
Hi time machine can only work with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) disks or with Time Capsule. So, as long as iomega does not work on new firmware you cannot use iconnect for time machine anymore (shame on iomega!) To share drives with iconnect for other purposes however you can mount iconnect shares using other protocols like smb (windows sharing): just goto the finder and connect to server in the go menu, then add the following in the server address box: smb:///sharename example: smb://192.168.1.10/data Click on the + sign to make it a favorite server. ThankS a lot ) It really works! In my case there was an issue concerning this: IOmega connect (soft. 2.5.26.18966) Enable security / Enable Users management options were activated.

User Admin was created with full access to HDD connected to IO Connect I've got the same error mentioned in 1st message while tried to connect to it from Macbook (os 10.8.2 updated). Everything worked fine if I disable Secure & Users Management in the IO Connect web interface. So the solution was typing smb:///sharename in 'connect to server' adress box (instead of afp:///sharename when IO Connect security is deactivated). Apple Footer.

Home media servers like Iomega’s are network-attached storage (NAS) devices that provide a centralized location on a network to store your videos, audios, and photos. You can access files on the home media server through any computer (Mac or PC) on the network.
You can even control what each user on the network can access. The Iomega’s compact grey curved block shape is about the size of a typical desktop hard drive and comes equipped with a USB 2.0 port to augment its storage capacity. It connects to your network router via Ethernet. Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive The server’s software interface is very intuitive and it has a useful set of controls, but initially, we had difficulty detecting the drive on our network. A recent downloadable software fix enabled us to correct this issue. You use Iomega’s desktop-based application to detect the drive, while the Web-based application configures the drive. If you just want to access the files on the server, the Iomega appears as a network device, so you don’t need to use any of its software initially.
The Home Storage software interface allows you to manage the folders on the drive by populating the server with more folders and configuring them as you’d like. The administrator can set who can access the folders with simple clicks of a button, and it’s also easy to set a folder for use with iTunes or DLNA media. The Home Storage Web interface enables the user to easily reset the settings on the drive, check for updates, reset the media servers on the drive, and schedule tasks for the drive.
Though the Iomega server can be used as a storage unit for your entire network, it does not share the connectivity speeds of its non-networked cousins, the desktop hard drive. In our experience, home media servers produce slower transfer speeds than your average desktop drive.
This shouldn’t be a deterrent; desktop drives use different connections and are used for different purposes. For perspective, it took about 58 seconds for the Iomega to complete our test of copying 100 photos, but over 2 minutes to transfer a 1GB photo. Like the Western Digital, it took the Iomega about 3 minutes, 15 seconds to copy a 1.43GB QuickTime video onto its hard drive. One important feature of the Iomega is the ability to configure your iTunes library for sharing with the other computers on your network. The Iomega is fairly straightforward and gives lots of control over your iTunes sharing: by just clicking on a button, the administrator can set who can access the folders, and it’s easy to authorize a folder for use with iTunes or DLNA media. Only folders you deem worthy of sharing will appear in iTunes, which makes sense if you have explicit music you don’t want to share with the rest of your family.(If you still have copy-protected iTunes music, iTunes allows only the purchaser of that song to play it.) The Iomega has remote access abilities that allow users to access the server over the Internet.
This is a recent upgrade to the Iomega, thanks to a firmware update. The Iomega uses, providing users the first year of remote access for free, then it’s $25 $10 a year thereafter Note: The annual fee was recently reduced, and custom domain names are available for additional fees. Remote access is a great feature for users who want to load or access photos from their hard drive during their vacation far away from home. Users who download a lot of BitTorrent files or who seed (distribute files by allowing BitTorrent clients to download files from your computer) will especially appreciate Iomega’s server, which fully supports peer-to-peer file-sharing technology, making it easier to download large media files.
You can direct file transfer to the Iomega and allow it to do the work instead of your computer. The Iomega fully supports Time Machine backups. By setting the drive as your Time Machine backup destination, you’re good to go. Additionally, the Iomega comes prepackaged with two different backup software products.
One is a trial version of, an online backup service. You could theoretically use MozyHome to back up the Iomega server, your computer, or both. The trial version only has 2GB of free space, so the intention is to have the user subscribe to the paid service ($5 per month), which offers unlimited backup. The other backup product is EMC Retrospect Express HD, a desktop-based backup service that backs up your Mac’s data to the Iomega.
