Can't connect to my Dlink NAS

My imac's harddrive died (faulty - 3 problem with it in 12 months) and when i got it back, the os had been upgraded to X vs 10.7.5 - as a consequence (i think) the computer has lost the ability to identify my dlink dns-323 NAS in Finder.
When i search and ping it, it is there. When i use itunes (it holds all my music) under shared drives, it is there. But in FInder and all other apps, when i try to connect to use the files, save, modify etc it gives me a message:
"There was a problem connecting to the server "10.0.1.115". The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
Can anybody help ?

Can't connect to my LG NAS after downloading LION

Hi all - first post.
Can't connect to my LG NAS after downloading LION. Basically thats it, since downloading Lion for some reason I can't access my NAS. Anyone got any suggestion

I have the same problem with my Conceptronic CH3HNAS and have found a free and easy solution.
Since a lot of people report they are able to access their NAS using apps other than the Finder itself, I decided to look for a free Lion-compatible File Manager to use instead of Finder.
I have found muCommander ( http://www.mucommander.com/ ) and indeed it works fine. All I did was click on the button highlighted bellow, go to "bonjour services" and select my NAS. It prompted me for my username and password and voilá, it works fine.
I keep Finder for everyday use and just load muCommander when I want to access the NAS. At least now I don't have to start my WinXP VM anymore just to access it.
Hope it helps you.

Can't connect to my Synology NAS server

Hi
I just bought a Synology D212j. I am having hard time to connect to it trough afp or smb.
My issue is that when I go to connect to server (Command K) and browse the network, I can see the NAS. When I go to "connect as" it times out and says "connection failed".
I have tried to disable the firewall on synology but still the same problem.
Any clue?...
Thanks

I don't know how I missed that. I set it to sync all my email accounts and everything worked except the one I was trying to do originally. For some odd reason, after being online for 30 minutes or so it snapped to life and has been working ever since. Must be something about that particular account that is a bit off. Anyway, after it started working I went in and looked and the settings and they were the same ones I've been using all along. I couldn't check the password, but according to my notes I had set it correctly. Thanks for your help.

NAS drives grayed out and can't connect to other Macs

Hello All,
After upgrading my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9 13A603) my NAS storage drives are grayed out in Finder. I can't go directly to my NAS drive in Finder. I can't simply click on the NAS drives in Finder and see what is in the directory. The directories are grayed out!.
In order for me to connect to my NAS stotage drive I have to go to "DEVICES" on the leftside of the Finder window and then click on the MacBook Pro HD. From there I have to click on "Network." From "Network" I can get a slow connection to my NAS.
As for as connection to other Macs in my office, I have to take the same steps above. I can't connect directly to the other Macs in my office in Finder. Nether can the other Macs connect to other Macs! All Macs in the office are set up to allow both AFP and SMB. However, one lonely 2009 iMac in our office is still on Mountian Lion and it can connect to other Macs and the our NAS without problems.
One strange things this, I can do a Screen Share to the other Macs from my 2010 MacBook Pro! I can't connect directly in Finder, but I can do a Screen Share. Strange!
Is there a fix for this or was Marverick let out the jungle to earily?
Help! and Thanks!

I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

Home sharing problem: How can I connect a NAS iTunes server to Apple TV 2?

I have a NAS (network attached storage) that has an iTunes server and I can see the music that I have on that NAS when I open my iTunes on my computers. However, I was wondering if there is a way to add that NAS/iTunes Server to my Home Sharing and not have to turn my computer ON every time.

the short answer is no.
the itunes server on your NAS is a pseudo (fake) itunes instance.
you need a real instance of itunes (that has HomeSharing), and that means itunes running on a pc/laptop.
you can use your NAS as the storage location for itunes, but appletv cannot connect direct to the NAS.

Can't Connect to Internet using AirPort Extreme Card and DLink Router

I have tried just about everything, but I can't seem to connect my MAC OS X 10.3.9 to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme Card and no networks show up. I am trying to connect to my DLink router. I was told by DLink that it is compatible with AirPort Extreme cards, but the guys at Best Buy were unable to connect to their wireless routers, other than their Mac Router. Please let me know if you have a solution! Thanks

dannabee, Welcome to the discussion area!
What Mac do you have?
Do you have iMac G5 or a Power Mac G5?
Did you install the AirPort Extreme card yourself?

Yosemite can't connect to my NAS & other weirdness

Hi
I'm running Yosemite 10.10 on an Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro i7 with 8GB of RAM. The machine is connected to the network via Wi-Fi and my network is managed by a SKY router. All devices are configured to use DHCP to obtain their IP address from the router.
I have two NAS boxes on my network, a Western Digital MyCloud and a Buffalo Linkstation Pro.
Since upgrading to Yosemite I cannot access the Linkstation NAS box.
I can ping it on the network and I can call up the configuration pages in a web browser using the ip address, I can also access it from windows devices.
However if I try to connect to it using my mac it fails every time.
I use Go->Connect to Server then put in the details of the share, I'm prompted for a user name and password as expected but then the process stalls for several minutes before finally failing with the following error message.
'There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx"
Check the server name or IP address and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.'
I've tried specifying smb, cifs, and even afp in the connection attempts but they all fail.
The Western Digital NAS works OK although it's a bit slow to make the initial connection.
The other weird thing is that my Macbook keeps changing it's NETBIOS name and I don't know why. I named the machine ChristophersMBP but it keeps getting numbers appended to the end of it. It's currently up to ChristophersMBP5.
The whole thing is very frustrating especially as if I boot Windows 7 using bootcamp it attaches to the share without any problems.
And help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like I've found, if not a fix, then at least a work around.
I was searching around the web and found other people having the same problem with their machine name changing.
The fault seemed to be caused by "Wake on LAN" being enabled on the machine. I checked my machine and, sure enough it was enabled.
Quite why I'd want wake on LAN enabled on a laptop I'm not sure so I had no problem with disabling it.
I disabled wake on LAN, renamed my computer again and rebooted it.
Now I find I can successfully connect to my NAS box!
This is a guess but I wonder if the renaming was causing problems with DNS or reverse DNS lookups?

Macbook pro can't connect to Dlink wireless router

Hi,
I just bought a new MacBook pro and found it can't connect to my office wireless router Dlink.
I can't get a proper IP address from DHCP. Now I have to go wired.
But some other routers I can connect to.
is this the driver problem? is this a known issue?
Please help!

The dlink router is using latest firmware.
I had once connected to it for couple minutes and failed.

Can't connect time machine on previous NAS disk

Hi, i just update my MBP to Lion 10.7.
But from now, i can't backup with Time machine to my Lacie D2 Network 2. It was working with os 10.6.
I can see and open disk using SMB in finder but Time machine can't connect (TM see the ethernet disk). TM ask me to enter password and then say the version of the server is not supported...
Is there a solution to connect again before having an update from Lacie or Apple?
Thanks a lot

I raised a ticket with Lacie as well, below is an excerpt from the Lacie Lion compatability link they directed me to:
Cause: The LaCie NAS OS does not support Time Machine with Mac OS X Lion.
Solution: Use Mac OS X 10.6.x or earlier when using Time Machine to back up your Mac to a LaCie network hard drive.
Their solution is to downgrade the OS... Shame!
Here is the link to the Lacie Lion compatability link: http://www.lacie.com/us/more/?id=10121

Can't connect to NAS via FTP externally

Hi all,
Can anyone give me any straight forward adivse on getting FTP to externally?
I have a WD My Book Live Duo (NAS) that allows FTP access, but it seems that no matter what I do I can not connect to it externally through FTP.
I really need the FTP to work as the only other way to connect to it externally is via WebDav which is *really* unrealiable from from work connection.
My setup is a MBLD behind an Airport Extreme Base Station (5th Gen) FTP connects perfectly when at home on internal network. AEBS has a static IP address and is connected via DHCP, the MBLD has a static address and is telling me that all is ok and that 'Port Forwarding' is established successfully. The MBLD has a reserved address using it's MAC address and IP address on the AEBS. Using Transmit 4.3.3 FTP client.
I can't see anywhere in Airport Utility to perform port forwarding, do Apple call it something different?
I'm probobly missing something really minor, but the constant altering of settings to get this thing to work is driving me mad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Maybe if you were to mention exactly which NAS device you are using and basically how you've configured it, and which version of the software that came with the device, someone here might have some experience with your exact hardware/software or something very similar and be able to help pinpoint a problem.
There are many many implementations of SMB. Some (mostly free) don't work very well, even for Windows. Some need to be updated. Some seem to work very well.
In addition, have you already tried using this device with Windows, Linux, another Mac? Did the device just quit working, or has it never worked? Without more information nobody has a chance because there isn't just one or two reasons that a NAS doesn't work.

HH5 & Dlink Nas DNS 320

I have a HH5 with a Dlink NAS DNS 320 attached to it, my PC, which is connected via Ethernet, can access the device, but my Samsung Bluray player, which is attached via a wireless, 4 port switch, cannot see it, anyone?

Try these troubleshooting steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] In that setup page reduce the MTU size to 1400 from auto. Save the settings
4] Click the security tab and uncheck 'Filter Anonymous Internet Requests' and SPI firewall..Save the settings..
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Then check the wireless connection status.

Is there a way to connect to Synology 212j NAS through router?

Since I upgraded from Mountain Lion 10.8.5 to Mavericks OS X 10.9.1 I cannot connect my Synology 212j NAS via my router.
Diskstation/iMac Works fine when connected directly with ethernet cable. When connected via router with ethernet no connection is possible.
find.synology.com does not find the NAS, the synology assistant finds the NAS, can configure the IP address, but displays "connection failed" at the end of the process.
When wifi is enabled I can share files through finder. At no point am I able to display DSM configuration interface at 192.168.1.XXX:5000.
All firmware up to date, all devices reset and rebooted several times
The router lists the diskstation IP address in devices (in router configuration ui)
Tried fixed IP and DHCP
Tried port forwarding all services
MacBook Air with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 connects flawlessly to diskstation.
I think there is a problem with the way the IP addresses are being managed between Mavericks OS X and the router is there a way to work around this?

dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

I did not say it is not possible.
I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

Mac can no longer find the network NAS

For some reason I can no longer see my NAS when connected to my home network. I go to work and see other computers just fine. It's kind of infuriating.
Any ideas?

Hi Mad Clan
Welcome to the discussions.
You provide very litte information, which leaves us guessing. Please try to be as elaborate as possible in your answers.
First of all: Check the power of the device. You won't believe in how many cases this was the simple solution for my own issues.
Second: Assuming, the NAS is not connected wirelessly: Check the network cables. To be absolutely sure, replace the one connecting the NAS to your network.
What does your home network look like? Do you have a router seperate from your internet connection (meaning you're having two boxes)? Do you connect wirelessly?
What NAS product do you use? Please provide brand and modelname. Did you just take it out of the box and it just worked or did you have to configure network settings?
Can you think of a reason you don't longer see the NAS? Was there a power outage, did you add a new device to the network (if only temporarily, please mention it), had you someone accessing your network who doesn't live in your house, did you update your computer or the router?
All these questions potentially lead to different steps needed to be taken.
Kind regards

Dear Community, how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ? Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ? Cheers, Marek

Dear Community,
how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
Cheers, Marek

Thanks Jan.
Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....
Best regards,
Marek
