BrettB0727 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I was wondering if anyone had instruction to make a hard drive attached to Mac appear as a Network File Storage source so that the content may be accessed via the Navigator.I already figured that it needs to be an SMB share so that it will show up in a Windows workgroup, but only the computer shows up and not the drive.Thanks for the help!

Brad_The_Lucky Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 PM me your email address and I'll forward you some instructions I wrote up a ways back. It was on Snow Leopard, but guessing it will be similar for Lion.BradI'd post but don't want to spend time getting the screenshots attached:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettB0727 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Can anyone clarify if NTFS is required? or with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think it needs to be fat32 for read/write, ntfs is read only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanPowers Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Check out FreeNAS http://www.freenas.org/ you can build your own NAS server and setup shares for both apple and windows. It's very fast and reliable, don't have to worry about having a windows OS either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSDave Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think it needs to be fat32 for read/write, ntfs is read only.the drive can be mac journaled as long as its setup as a windows share. SMB will worry about talking between 2 different file systems.I dont think he is talking about an external mac formatted harddrive plugged into the controller. I think he means a harddrive within his mac, or plugged into it being shared.I think when you go into sharing on the mac and enable file sharing, there is a spot for a windows configuration.

AHA Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi, last week i managed to share a folder from my mac to control4 so i could play all my iTunes music.To do it though i had to install SMBup on the mac for Control4 to connect successfully. Apple have changed SMB in Lion on wards and doesn't seem to be compatible with control4.In Composer I then manually typed the path address using the IP address of the mac, something like \\192.168.0.10\Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
