Airport Drives are not in Finder.

Since updating to MacOS 10.3.2, Airport Drives no longer appear in Finder. They appear in Airport Utility, but no matter what I do Finder does not show them. Advice?

Not an AirPort issue, really. It is a High Sierra operating system issue, which has added new security.....and AirPorts and AirPort Disks are disappearing for some users as a result.


Try manually mounting the drive.....


Open any Finder window

Click on the Go menu at the uppermost top of the Mac's screen

Click Connect to Server

Enter afp://AirPortIPAddress

For example, if the IP Address of the AirPort router is 10.0.1.10, enter afp://10.0.1.10

Click Connect, and if all is well, the drive will mount on the desktop


If no luck, Apple switched over to smb for some communications, so try smb://10.0.1.10


If still no luck, best to post over in the High Sierra support forum to see if the gurus over there have some workarounds.
