Hi all.
A big change happened today... I purchased a MacBook Pro! My first OS X machine. The best thing that i can say so far is that it looks and feels nice... but that is about it!
Here's the issue... I have a usb drive connected to my Pi, which seems to mount itself, that works perfectly with the Pi (running RaspBMC Gotham), and is also visible to all of my windows machines (via \\<local.ip.address> with the username of: pi and the password of: raspberry).
After a bit of messing about, i finally managed to access the USB drive on the mac (via cmd&k - smb://<local.ip.address>). The USB had to be formatted in MAC OS Extended (Journaled) to have permission to read it (Fat32/exFat would show a folder with no read rights) which is a pain.
Now what i really want is read and write permissions to the USB drive connected to the Pi, via Windows or OS X. I've looked at dozens of sites, but i can't fathom it out. I have tried logging into the Pi as Root after enabling it, but the Pi will not let me.
Sorry if this has been asked before but i have looked and I'm still struggling!
Previously i had the USB drive connected to my router, but again, the Mac cannot communicate with the router and says something like "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported".
I would like to go back to the USB being connected to my router, but i have made more progress connecting it to the Pi, thus far.
Any ideas?
Thanks
