I have a handful of videos that I'd like to be able to play on my Apple TV. I would like to be able to play them on my Apple TV directly without having to have my Mac on (for Apple TV app Home Sharing) and without AirPlay from my iPhone. Additionally I'd like to store these videos in iCloud...

I have an SMB share on an M1 Mac mini running Sonoma 14.2.1 When I try to connect from a Windows 11 client it says username or password is incorrect Console log on the Mac says this: smb2_dispatch_session_setup: session_setup_transact status: 0xc000006d

Hi, I've enabled file sharing and selected only 1 folder I want to share on my Mac Mini. Then I've connected to the SMB file server using my iPhone and using credentials that I use normally to login to my Mac. The issue is that it shows all kind of partitions, external disks etc. Why is that...

Is anyone else experiencing slow SMB share performance on MacOS Sonoma? It was running fine on Monterey, but now Finder Thumbnails take several seconds to load and Adobe InDesign also freezes while loading assets. I already made sure it's not a load issue, everything is in the green and I can't...

On my LAN I currently have three Macs, an M1 iMac, an Intel iMac (2019) and an M1 MBA, all running 13.4.1. I also have a couple of Raspberry Pies, a couple of Apple TVs and an assortment of phones and tablets and IOT devices. I'm having problems with SMB on the M1 MBA. I can connect via SMB...

I'm posting this only because it seems so baffling and because someone else might run in to the same thing. This morning my wife needed to access an iCloud file from her MBA still on Catalina 10.15.7. The original file was on her M1 iMac sitting right next to the MBA and connected to the same...

Hi all, I have set up a new Mac Mini M1 computer with macOS Ventura as a file server. I have created shared only users and I can mount the shared folders on the connected macs. They get properly shown first in the list after clicking on the Mac Mini on the Finder's sidebar. But after some time...

I would like to move the data from these 2 apps to a NAS, which presents it to the LAN as a SMB share. To regularly and conveniently use these apps from my (only) MacBook Air laptop without having to be physically tethered to a USB device... Photos - to be able to simplify the syncing of photos...

I have a strange problem with my macs at my workplace. It started from macOS 11. I can reproduce it on macOS 11, 12 and 13. And on Intel and Apple Silicon. We work with network shares from Windows 2019 and Synology servers. It does not happen on the local HD or USB drives. If I move a file to a...

Hello everyone. A little backstory. I was a hackintosh user for over a decade, with my latest machine being an i7 6700k running Catalina. The machine was/is absolutely bombproof, super stable, quiet, and always worked with everything I threw at it. Never felt any bottlenecks with even the most...

Hello, I have BIG problem after updating to macOS Ventura. When I try to save changes to an excel file located in a network location (SMB) I get the message - " The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please Close the document and try to...

Hello, A friend told me to use VLC on my Apple TV so I can stream the local files from my iMac onto the Apple TV through SMB. Now that I've tried to set up, I'm confused and can't make it work for various reasons : - First, I'm not sure of which one is the right folder on the VLC tab because...

Hi! On macOS (Mac M1 hardware) I created a shared folder and let a device use it via SMB with its own user (e.g. "deviceuser"). The software on the device creates the folders and files with that user ("deviceuser") as sole owner and only the owner can read+write. When the macOS admin user that...

Hi, I have the issue getting a APFS sparsebundle volume (copied to smb server) work with Time Machine by attaching the volume via "hdiutil attach /path/to/sparsebundle/" (for automated attach on startup). Time Machine starts up (prepare backup) but stops without copying any file. Instead, if I...

Here's the problem. I had to restore my Mac from backup that is being used to share movies/tv/music to KODI around the house. Unfortunately, it was a version just before KODI went to requiring names/passwords. I created a user for sharing only. This worked fine. The problem is something...

Over the years, from what I can tell since Mavericks, Apple has made change to the LAN file sharing infrastructure between Mac hosts. AFP is now out completely and even in Catalina, where the protocol was still available, APFS volumes could not be shared, unless SMB was used. This has made what...

I have a 2014 Mac mini (16gb ram, 1tb ssd) as a home server. When connecting to the server for the first time it takes so long to first load. Even tho I have it set to be on all the time and not sleep. My windows SMB share is instant even on a normal HDD instead of ssd. When accessing it from...

I turned on File Sharing on my Mac mini for a home server. When I add a shared folder and set the permission to a contact- then i login to that from the Files app on my phone it just shows a blank screen adn says 0 read only at the bottom. I have tried turning sharing off and on again and...

It seems the issue was the NAS itself. It did not have enough power for an external drive that size. With a different NAS, I have not seen this problem so far. ________ Up until recently, it was all working fine - copying files from my Mac M1 to my mini-NAS via Samba. I can still access all...
