It involves using the NFS functionality on the mac, which can talk to the Linux functionality on the WDTV.
It’s actually really simple and only takes a minute or so. Virtually anything will be able to connect to it.
SMBUP CONNECTION PROGBLEMS INSTALL
Install Linux or Windows on a spare PC & share the files from it instead.
SMBUP CONNECTION PROGBLEMS MAC
It will allow you to share/move files back & forth to a local drive connected to your WDTV Live & your Mac (as well as Linux or other Unix machines). This is an old Unix protocol that is still present on your Mac & WDTV Live. I have not tried these but people say good things about them. Install a little thrid party app on your Mac which WILL share your media to your WDTV Live eg. There are three solutions in order of difficulty:Įmbrace vendor lockin… Buy an Apple Time Capsule & use that to share files/stream media. Your WDTV live uses old smb1 therefore it can’t access files shared on Mac’s using MacOS 10.7 or above. In this regard they are now little better than Microsoft. In addition Apples new proprietary version has bugs which they will not fix.
Then in MacOS 10.7 Apple decided to abandon standard SAMBA as implemented everywhere & replace with their own proprietary version that is not backwards compatible with older implentations of smb, only supports smb2. MacOS X up to version 10.6.8 being a Unix based operating system also implemented standard SAMBA and all was well. Unix & other operating systems implemented SAMBA in order to allow users to connect smb networks regardless of Microsofts desire.
Long ago the rapacious monopolist company known as Microsoft devised a networking protocol that locked others out of their networks. Besides, I can manage with networks and stuff, but I’m far from expert, so I do feel all this tinkering is far beyond an average user…Īny help appreciated as I’m really frustrated. I’ve read something about Mavericks being SMB2 instead of SMB and that being a possible reason however, it’s obvious both machines connect (I can acces SMP from iMac), so I guess it might have to do with permissions or something. On my TV, I select videos (same for music & pics), then shared content over network it detects my computer but then, and this is the issue, it asks me to enter user/password no matter what i enter (my admin iMac login was the first choice), it keeps on saying wrong username/password. However, I can’t do it the other way round. What is more, if I connect a USB memory to the SMP, I can access it from my iMac and watch the videos on my computer. The SMP connects to my WiFi perfectly, I can even access internet. My system: iMac 27, Mavericks, WDTV SMP, WiFi everything uptaded as of yesterday. You may have an incorrectly configured Authentication and Encryption setting.Hi everyone! I’ve searched the forums, called WD (they asked me to try with a PC…why is it always like that with Mac!!!), used Google and everything else I know, but I still haven’t found an answer.You may have a port assignment conflict.You may be limited in the number of users who can connect simultaneously to a Remote Desktop session or Remote Desktop Services session.The following are some of the commonly seen symptoms: This article summarizes the various causes for such failures. Terminal Server Client (Remote Desktop Client) connection failures such as "Unable to RDP, "Remote Desktop Disconnected," or "Unable to Connect to Remote Desktop (Terminal server)" are common problems that we have seen in product support.
