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.
My system: iMac 27, Mavericks, WDTV SMP, WiFi; everything uptaded as of yesterday.
The SMP connects to my WiFi perfectly, I can even access internet. 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. However, I can’t do it the other way round.
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. And I’m stuck there.
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. 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…
Any help appreciated as I’m really frustrated.
Thanks in advance!
