This device is driving me crazy (WDTV Live Plus). It work really well (on Firmware 1.03.49) on a 24" iMac.
None of the later firmware upgrades worked well, so I kept rolling back to 1.03.49.
My iMac bit the dust 2 weeks ago, and has been replaced with a new 27"iMac. After using the exact same settings on the new iMac, I can not get the WDTV to see the shared folders?? I can easily get on my wireless Airport network, and the WDTV lists the iMac under Network shares just like before, however, when I try to log in I keep getting the same message “This network share can not be accessed”. I have tried dozens of the recommendations on this and other forums to no avail. I want my wireless streaming of shared folders/files back! Wondering if SMB/Samba has changed on the newer iMac?? Any ideas / help would be appreciated.
Is your WD TV Live Plus asking you to log in for the network share? What “doezens” of things have you tried so far? I’m sharing off a Mac so may be able to help…maybe!
