No apps installed or available
Ever since I updated my Nas firmware to 6.8.0, all my apps dissapeared and the available apps page is blank. I really only use one app - Resilio Sync. I downloaded that app directly from Resilio's we...
6.8.1 now available... maybe they fixed it...
Hi!
I have exactly the same problem on the RN104.
Ok, I have the solution for this issue. It turns out I did it to myself. My main volume hdd (named data) died and when I replaced it, I named it something else. Coincidentally it happened the same week 6.8.8 came out. I tried many different things but in the end I pulled three of the four drives out of the bays and did a factory reset. The new hdd became the data volume drive and everything worked great after that.
Just an fyi - After installing the other three drives back in the bays, reboot the NAS. After the reboot, all other drives operated normal with no data loss.

If you destroy the volume that holds the apps, the NAS will migrate them to a different volume - but of course that can only happen if the old volume is working.
This is a known issue with 6.8.0.
After trying all kinds of things including trying the new beta software (6.81....) that at least allowed me to manually install the software again... I rolled back to 6.7.5 from last year via a factory reset and manual (USB) flash... not what NetGEAR people will recommend and there are lots of warnings... I then manually installed an old version of my apps, and then updated them via the UI.
But from now on, I'm not touching a first-round Firmware (i.e. a .0) ever again.

Thanks, it seems it worked! I found an old hard drive, which the new one pulled out of the repository and returned it back - all the applications appeared. then deleted it through the system. all installed applications were also removed, but the option to install from the application store was returned.
