you can open the My Book Live dashboard using http://129.25.676.30/ or http://
mybooklive/.

and try again.
Temporarily disable any computer firewalls, security software, or other
networking and retry.

please check your router documentation on temporarily disabling the

I am unable to play music, videos and/or view pictures through my digital
media adapter.
Because there are many kinds of file formats for pictures, videos and music,
your particular digital media adapter may not support a format to play or
display it. Depending on the digital media adapter device (for example, Xbox
360 or PlayStation 3) that you have, you may need to update your device to
support the media format that you want to play. Refer to your digital media
adapter's user manual for further information.
Make sure the share containing your media content is enabled to serve that
type of media. See "Creating a New Share" on page 83.
How do I safely shut down the My Book Live?
If you are unable to shut down the drive using the My Book Live dashboard or the
WD Quick View icon, check the LED on the front of the drive to make sure it is not
blinking. Blinking indicates that the unit is processing information (for example,
backing up or transferring files).
If the LED is blinking green, data is being read from or written to the drive. Follow
these steps:
1. If possible, wait for the LED to stop blinking.
2. Double-check every computer on the network to ensure no files are open or
transfers are in progress.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
4. Wait 60 seconds.
5. Unplug the power cable.
