hi i dont know if ive done this right i have the WD quick view in the top menu bar to acess the dashboard and have the mycloud app which lets me get to the files . however in network on my mac mini i click on the wdmycloud drive conect as guest then get this error ( the operation cant be completed because the original item  for public cant be found ).

have i done somthing wrong ? should i uninstall try again or leave it ?.

If the My Cloud is yours and you are the administrator why do you want to connect as a guest?

I have Windows 7 and I know I can create Users who have access to the My Cloud but I am not aware of a guest choice.

a system only restore won’t delete shares or data, everything else is reset like new. from your discription I doubt if this is the case.

I am not a mac person but you should not even need the apps for local access, http://mycloudIP/UI  for the dashboard

Finder to access files

on the mac you do have a choice of using SMB or AFP, I believe AFP is prefeered. not sure how you choose but you can try booth since this worked on Windows SMB is working
