    Hi all, So, I've installed iOS13 and I have a Synology NAS at home which has SMB server in it. On my Mac, I can see the SMB server in a Finder window, however on Files.app, the server is not there. On the other hand if I try to connect with the IP address of the server it does connect.

    tvOS 13 and SMB

    Hello, I have no way to try. Does tvOS 13 now when iOS 13 can access SMB shares do the same? Or can apps do that? So can I access files on my Time Machine?

    With the death of the Time Capsules I've been looking for alternate centralized backup solutions. I had a USB3 RAID enclosure laying around so I bought some new WD drives for it and then tried to find a way to get it onto my local network. I found this cheap little guy on Amazon (SSK Wireless...

Ever since 10.14 my procedure kept copying the same files, because all files copied since 10.14 seemed to be older than my source files.

    NAS serving low speed

    So I have a problem with my NAS just giving me around 10-15MB/s write and ~20MB/s read. This is a WD EX2 with two WD RED 4TB discs. I've done a lot of troubleshooting, but now I'm completely lost. Connecting the unit directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable gives speeds of over 100MB/s, so...

    I have a Mac Mini upstairs in my house that I occasionally log into for file sharing (mostly it runs Plex and iTunes for my AppleTV). When I first set up the Mini, I gave the admin account the username HOME_SERVER. I had issues with logging into it remotely so I decided to simplify the admin...

    Time Machine to SMB share, credentials not in keychain
