SMB File Sharing on Lion

Dave, this helped me tremendously.

Anyone using a MyBook Live with Mac, be sure to use SMB to connect or else you'll run into permission issues. I literally spent days trying to figure why we were seeing permission issues for reading and writing files. By connecting using the string you suggested, our problems disappeared.

Thanks again!

Hello,

I think the problem you expose here is solved in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4697?viewlocale=en_US.

In my case I was able to access the SMB shares from the finder.

Good Luck

hi

i have the same problem with my WDTV

Please help us with this problem .

I just found logging in as 'guest' works or anyone with a standard account but there is no content in the folder. strange. I think I've nearly solved this one. 🙂

Cool. Keep us posted. I have the same exact problem with the WDTV, but I didn't make any progress on it 😟

I did try to compile samba with homebrew but that didn't work at all.

Because Apple changed the SAMBA software I had to switch everything over the NFS, seriously *** Apple!!!??? Most devices that share over the network use the Samba implementation of CIFS.

Please Äpple, fix this now. Thousands of your users need to use their macs as file servers in home networks. This is so basic stuff for you - wouldn't cost much to re-implement.

it works for me... thank you !

Hello,

this little program worked great for me:

http://eduo.info/apps/smbup

I think it's donateware, works perfectly with a iMac and the WDTV live.

Smbup solved my problem finally!!!

Thanks gbareran

That's what I followed. See comments 1, 48 and 55 in the thread.
