NAS Storage device and iMac
I tried for days to make my NAS to show up on my iMac. Support could not help, nor any info on the forums. I have a NAS connected to a TC and the iMac connected to TC via wireless. Also my old Win Vista PC that I am dumping soon connected wirelessly.
I was puzzle because my PC could see the NAS, my iMac could not. Then today I needed to transfer some files from my PC to the iMAc and I turned off the McAffee firewall on Vista so the iMAc could access the PC folders... once finished I realized my NAS was showing up on the iMac! The issue (I think) is that since the NAS was formated / created from my PC and mapped as a logical drive to that Vista PC, then the firewall was hiding it from the iMac.
So if you have a similar issue, turn off the PC firewall... Now I am trying to figure out how to remove that logical connection and set the NAS free.
