Reccomendation for NAS

Hi, not sure this is the right forum, but the closest I could find.
I'm looking to get a NAS for for file sharing and (non-Time Machine) backup for Macs running OSX 10.9.4. Could I get some recommendations, has anyone had particularly good or bad experience with one brand or another?

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above:
Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Switched from NAS to external harddrive but Itunes is still looking for NAS

I used to have a NAS (Net attached storage) and i switched to a Seagate 1TB external harddrive, I copied the whole Itunes library, program etc...and it runs but it is 7.6 version so it would not identify my ipod until i updated the software, so i go to update, download the update and go to do the update and I get a error message that it cant locate //nas/disk1 the old destination...I went so far as to delete itunes and Quicktime and redownload itunes 8.1 so i go to install it and it is still looking for //nas/disk1 now i have a folder with 375gb of music and movies and no program to run it.... I try to go into control panel add/delete programs and itunes is still in there so i go to delete and I get a error message that it cant delete it because it cant find //nas/disk1...*** I need help Please someone tell me what i have to do to I was able to delete quicktime but it still shows itunes and it will not let me install itunes...i did a search through the computer and ther are no files for itunes so i do not know why it is still trying to locate it from there....HELP

Hi,
The reason that you are getting the ! is because iTunes is still looking for the music on your external hard drive.
You need to create a new library iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
Now turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer. You will now see all your music in the cloud. When you want to add new music, revert to the original library on your external hard drive.

Using Appliance Ports for NAS

Using Appliance Ports for NAS
Hey all connecting a NAS to UCS. Would like to plug in directly to FI’s using the Appliance Port option.
Are the steps basically
Turn on Ports use as Appliance Ports
Make PIN Group through Appliance Ports (this will only be one port per FI, I am guess Port-Channels can be used if NAS supports that?)
Make VLAN internal to UCS
Make vNIC Template and use newly created VLAN and PIN Group
Boom!
Right?
Thanks!
Craig

I have made port 20 on each 6120 an Appliance Ports.
Each port is assigned to a VLAN made under the Appliances tab.
Cannot seem to make a PIN group using these Appliance ports. They are not a option.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks!

Reccomendations for web-based data visualization tools?

Hello again,
I am embarking on a interesting research project that will involve recording lots of physiological signals from patient monitors in a hospital. I will be recording signals like BP, spO2, Pulserate, ECG, etc.
Right now, my main design concern is how to give clinicians access to the data after it is recorded.
My wish list is:
- Store the data securely, where access can be controlled (e.g. perhaps in a RDBMS like SQL Server)
- Allow users (who are granted access) to login and view historical data via a simple web browser
- Allow users to zoom, scroll, etc.
- Allow user to view data in stacked plots (e.g. so they can see ECG, BP and HR simultaneously on the screen and scroll the time axis)
- Allow user to annotate data (e.g. add comments at specific timestamps)
Anybody have any reccomendations for a web-based data visualization tool like this?
I know that people are probably going to reccomend Diadem ... but I don't think its web-based is it?

There is actually a new thing available called LabVIEW Web UI Builder. This allows you develop web-based applications that have a custom GUI that can interface with other LabVIEW applications. You can find more information on the Web UI Builder page on ni.com. There is also a dedicated forum that you can use to post questions about the Web UI Builder. That forum is located here. I hope that you find this helpful!

Connecting Wireless N Router to Existing Fios Router for NAS Access

What I'm Trying To Do:
    I have a 1TB Western Digital MyBook Live as my new NAS for accessing music, photos, video. Accessing this data through the Actiontec MI424WR Wireless 802.11b/g is not the best performance. I want to add in a wireless-N router to the mix but know I have to keep my existing Fios Router in the mix.
    Understanding that the Gigabit part of a wireless-N Gigabit router is for the wired speed increase, do I need to get a gigabit router for when I plug in my NAS, or does that not make a difference.
     Basically, I know that the wireless-N will get me better access wirelessly, but will connecting the NAS via Gigabit give me an extra boost as well?
According to most posts, getting a wireless-N router directly from Fios is near impossible, so bridging a new router to the existing one seems like the best bet.
Thanks for any help anyone has.

I bridged an N router to my MI424WR,which is also an N router and really did not notice a big performance jump,i am satisfied with the MI424WR.even though my linskys N router is more expensive.

Suggestions for NAS for home network and remote access to clients

I have a photo studio in my home and will need to get the digital files to my clients roughly once a week. i am currently using dropbox, but was thinking of purchasing a NAS that I could use for this purpose,as well as for my home network needs, mainly itunes and photos of the kid...
any suggestions for a mac friendly NAS , and how it can be accesed by my client over the internet?
can a NAS be accessed like a FTP site, using fetch or another FTP client?
thank for any help.

Hi Thomas,
I have had similar considerations and finally chose QNAP 439 Pro II over the many other ones out there (LinkSys, NetGear, Bufallo, etc.). Without going into technical details, the main reason for my choice were easy-of-use, functionalities and scalability:
http://www.qnap.com/prodetail_feature.asp?pid=148
It's not the cheapest solution out there, but works great with the Mac, even acts as storage solution for TimeMachine (with latest firm ware). And implementing client access is easy.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Mark

Options for NAS sharing in a large environment

The lack of Samba on Lion is a major problem for me at work and my employer. I work for a large university. We have one of the largest computer labs in the country, loaded with iMacs and MacPros. Without being able to mount cifs file shares on our NAS via Samba, Lion is a no go here. I am wondering what other people in a similar situation are considering in order to retain the disk sharing functionality thatSamba offered with Lion.

Your question concerns the underlying performance of messaging providers in general, not the JMS API. It is akin to using JDBC to connect to Oracle.
Messaging in general has been proven in large environments for many years, and most providers claim to be the best.
The following have some decent comparisons:

Folder Permissions for NAS Drive Affected After Upgrade

Hello,
I've seen similar questions asked all over the Internet, so I'm sorry if it's 'out there', but I can't seem to find a solution for the problem I have.
I've only just upgraded my OS from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 and have stumbled across a problem with folder permissions.
I have a NAS drive connected to my router which has been serving it's purpose for the last couple of years, today I decided to upgrade to 10.8.5 - the install went through without a hitch. After the install, I attempted to connect to my NAS drive but I found I couldn't access any of the folders (all of them have the little red "No Access" icon in the bottom right corner), although files in the root folder can be viewed and opened, even though the root folder also has a "No Access" icon on the folder (see below, "true-replica").
I have tried changing "File Sharing" permissions but I don't really know what I'm doing or where to look. I have no idea how the permissions have changed to "custom access" but is it possible to change the permissions back to "Read and Write" for this drive?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Thanks for your help, Linc.
I have the drive working, all it needed was a Firmware update.
For anybody else using a Verbatim NAS, here's a link another thread which gives a firmware download link: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16237742#16237742

Port Forward for NAS drive

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can help me out, i recently got a synology DS211j NAS drive, i can connect to the NAS over the LAN, but when i try to access for outside my home network i cant connect to it. I have added the ports to redirect to the NAS drive and have even set up a DNS, not sure if i even needed it? I have tried to access by typing my ip address and port into an external computer browser, but nothing is working.
Also after added the port to open to router i try to test the ports at canyouseeme.org, and i get the message
Error: I could not see your service on (IP Address here) on port (5000)
Reason: Connection timed out
If anyone has any idea what im doing wrong or how is fix it, please fill me in
Thanks

Sorry for the late comeback. Been bust elsewhere.
I've kind of got the system working. As long as I use an outside source I can view the services that are operating on the HomeHub3. I'm just unable to view my own services whilst internally from behind the HomeHub.
Reading around this appears to be a similar issue and something to do with 'loopback' I think. Where I can view my services from an external IP source but unable to view my services whilst attempting to look from within the internal IP source as the HomeHub setup 'denies' this action.
I've begun searching for help with lopback. unfortunatly I'm getting a little bit of information overload with edit this hosts file, do this etc.
Would someone with homeHub knowledge know what needs to be or at least point me in a great direction the provides a step by step helpful guide to a solution of viewing my own services ?
Many thanks for knowledge given.

ITunes password for NAS server.. Arrrrgh!

Heeey guys,
I'm having a huge problem with itunes, and after i have been trying to deal with it for the last 3 hours, it's driving me nuts..!
I have a Qnap NAS server with build in iTunes server, works like a charm on my computer and xbox 360 - at least until tonight.. I wanted to access the server on a new laptop, I clicked the nas under shared drives, iTunes prompted for the password and accidentally I mistyped one character but had already checked the "remember password" box, and BAM - iTunes remember the WRONG password and the server won't let me in.. Everytime i click the server from the shared drive, it just load for a sec and throw me back to the main music folder on my computer, dammit..!
I have absolutely no idea of how I get iTunes to promt for pass again or how I can change/manage password..?! Why is it so hard to make that feature apple?!
So i REALLY hope some of you have the answers, I'm officially lost on this one!
Best regards
-And
PS. I have uinstalled / installed iTunes a million times now and deleted everything named itunes i the documents folder without any luck..

The problem is itunes remembers the password the first time you type it in,
No it doesn't because iTunes doesn't use passwords except for the iTunes store which has nothing to do with the NAS.
I wanted to access the server on a new laptop, I clicked the nas under shared drives, iTunes prompted for the password
No it didn't. The QNAS server prompted you for a password to access the server. The NAS saw it was a new computer attempting to access the NAS and asked for the password.
The NAS software is controlling access, not iTunes or the laptop.
Your issue has nothing to do with iTunes.
You need to access the NAS administration software and reset the password for the other computer there.
Apple, *?! This is such a ridiculous programming error.
Actually, it is a fairly standard PEBKAC error and easily fixed.
Open the *QNAS Finder* application then double click on the NAS to access the QNAS admin screen.

Free Backup software for NAS Box??

Try Veeam Endpoint software. Free and you can use the NAS as a target.
http://www.veeam.com/endpoint-backup-free.html

Hi all, I need some advise on getting a free software for a NAS box Seagate Black Armor 400. The license that came with the unit is only valid for 5 computers and I need it for at least 20.
Is any free backup software for that works with this NAS that I can use? Like have incremental backups, schedule backups etc...
Thanks!

Setting up 2nd Ethernet port for NAS connection

Hi
I want to split out my internet and NAS drive access across my two Ethernet ports.
Port 1 is connected to my router and connects to the internet.
Port 2 is connected to a gigabit switch and then into two NAS drives. I have set up the second ethernet port with a manual ip and it says it is connected. But when I use Command K to connect to the ip address of the NAS, it cannot connect. Previously this worked fine when everything was going out of Ethernet port 1.
I suspect I have not set up Ethernet port 2 correctly. So far I have set it up for manual configuration and given it an ip address of 192.168.1.17 (the NAS is 192.168.1.18, Ethernet 1 is 192.168.119). Nothing else has been entered.
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

Ping the destination address 192.168.1.19 from a terminal window and see if it responds.

Time Machine Questions, starting to plan for NAS

After a recent episode of serious data loss, I'm moving to a 2TB NAS solution for my 5-Mac home network. We are only using Time Machine on one system now.
My question is, does the destination disk for a Time Machine backup need to be exactly the same size as the home HD? That is, if you have a 300 GB directory to back up that lives on a 750 GB hard drive, does the TM destination need to be 750 GB exactly? Can it be larger? Can it be smaller (as long as there's enough space for the backup)?
Can multiple Macs using TM back up to a single large disk or disk array? That is, can each Mac on a network use TM to create separate backups on a single network drive?
Thanks.

several things.
1. TM backups to NAS drives are not officially supported. the only exception is a Time capsule. It also works with drives connected to an Airport Extreme base station. there are hacks for other NAS drives but you use them at your own risk.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080420211034137&query=time%2Bmach ine%2BNAS
2. TM backups do not use compression. also, TM needs extra space to operate so the backup drive should be at least 20% bigger than the total amount of data you are backing up. otherwise the backup will fail. Further, because TM stores incremental backups you actually need a lot more free space than that. generally, the backup drive should be at least 2 times bigger than the total amount of data you are backing up. If you can't provide that, don't use TM, use some other backup tool.
3. Multiple MACs can use the same network drive for backups. each mac will create a separate sparse bundle. But you do need to make sure that you have plenty of free space on the drive to fit all those backups.
