Hi everyone,
I’m using a cross over network cable to connect my Macbook Pro to my Motif XF.
I can mount (I use 1.1.1.1 for MBP and 1.1.1.2 for Motif XF).
Before (when using Snow Leopard) I used to get a list of SHARED FOLDERS.
However on the MBP, the led in network is green “Ethernet connected”, I see the Motif XF in my finder, ... So definitely connected. My Folder on MBP, called _Motif-XF is “Shared Folder” and “Everyone” has “Read & Write” access. What to do in order to get the SHARED FOLDERS back into the XF ? Thanks in advance ! Rik |

Remember to backup your data, first. Then do all experiments you want. |

Hi, This has already been suggested by yamahaFans in your other thread. Have you set up file sharing in your new installation of Mavericks? A fresh installation will always have those things severely limited or even off. |

Hi rikdeckers! I was making a post and ran across yours. So out of curiosity I wanted to see what type of responses you got for your issue and as I thought; no one has really been able to give the answer you need. So.... I had the same problem and struggled troubleshooting the issues for days that turned to weeks without any resolve. It isn’t that the answer isn’t out there, its just not very obvious. I discovered the root cause of the issue when I decided to use another one of my MacBooks that had the latest version of Lion installed prior to the release of Mavericks. When I hooked it up to the Motif all my shared directories were immediate detected and I was able to mount them. When I reconnected my Macbook with Mavericks installed, the connection was made but the Shares were again gone. I confirmed my Shares were set up correctly on Mavericks and the device did connect because it actually saw my Macbook Pro and prompted for my User name and Password but it could not see the shares. So I found the issue to be the new SMB2 file system that Apple released with Mavericks. The Yamaha XF8 uses Samba (SMB) to see other compatible devices using that protocol, but it simply won’t work with SMB2 which is the default on Mavericks. In fact, the Share issue has been noted by users connecting other Macs so its not just the XF8. I have identified several recommended hacks floating around that some have claimed to have resolved the problem in some cases and others say the problem persists for them. I’ve listed a few links for you:
http://www.zdnet.com/mavericks-smb2-problem-and-fixes-7000022519/
But I tried every option mentioned without success. So my fix was to use VMWare Fusion and install Mountain Lion. When I now connect my XF8 it sees both the Virtual and actual machine, but I can now connect to the VM running Mountain Lion. So I set up a Share that I can connect to from my Macbook and save and transfer data from the XF8 to the VM and retrieve and transfer from the VM to the Macbook. Yeah, its a pain I know.... but it was either that or revert everything back to Mountain Lion and loose a lot of stuff including new apps that I’d installed. Hopefully Apple will get enough complaints to fix the issue in one of their upcoming releases but until then, good luck my friend. Hope this helps! |

Cool… I’m not the thread author though and don’t have any problems. I’m pretty sure you mean rikdeckers, though. |

I think this is a ‘shared’ companies responsibility when each company says “They Listen To Customers’ Issues and Suggestions”.
You all may know this already,

For the record YamahaFans, I totally concur with you that the responsibility of this sort is definitely a “shared” companies responsibility to ensure best efforts of compatibility between products. A gap that has for the most part been seamlessly closed as you pointed out of Yamaha, Steinberg and Cubase. But I don’t believe that removing known compatible protocols and introducing new ones within a Product Release (or Upgrade in this case) without having fully testing and assessing the risks (and especially among your own previously released products); was a very smart choice. The issue arising between the XF8 and SMB2 in this case “may” or then maybe not have been avoided by Apples decision to force its users to a new protocol during the upgrade process. However, in lieu of the fact that MacBooks can no longer connect to other MacBooks without workarounds exemplifies somewhat of a lack of research and due diligence to assess the repercussions of the newly released OSX. Even if a company were to be considered proprietary in any respect (of which I am not implying); still I would not think that they’d opt to shoot their own self in the foot by introducing an obstacle (such as a new networking protocol) without forewarning to the user that they’d have to change the way their OWN products communicate with each other. Or maybe even unconcern forcing users to simply deal with it. Also, I am a software developer and security releases can be deployed without forcing an OS upgrade.
Just a little food for thought…

So, basically this is an issue that never got resolved to this day. Mac computers can’t be connected to the local network via ethernet cables. And it’s all because the big guys are having a tussle between themselves and can’t see eye to eye. Is that about right? |
