Problem connecting Atv to imac
#1
I am unable to connect my atv (with XBMC) to my imac. Atv connects to imac and XBMC is connected to the internet (weather works) but every time I have tried to add a source for video or music I get a message "Unable to connect .. Could not retrieve directory information...this could be due to the network not being connected." Again the wx function works fine.

I am a newbie so it could be something basic. I've searched the forum and youtube's but nothing has fixed it.

Thanks

Imac 2.4g 24"
OS10.4.11

Did you enable Filesharing including SMB on your iMAC ?

Thanks, I had file sharing on and had windowsharing/smb on and off while troubleshooting. Having them both on and trying other combinations I was able to connect to the imac using 'browse' to 'add a source'.

thanks again
