Any ideas? I’m also having a problem syncing photos to my AppleTV, I get an error in iTunes saying I don not have enough access permissions. I’m using an iMac running Leopard and have also had the same ftp error when trying with my Macbook Air running Leopard.
This would be a great product if I could just get it to work!
Are you running the latest 2.1 Apple TV software? You can verify the software installed through the Settings > General > About menu. If you see a version there older than 2.1, you will need to update to the 2.1 software before installing the aTV Flash.
Ok, you get this from a strictly user point of view, since I don´t know anything about the ftp protocoll. Maybe the brighter guys out here will give detailed information:
With my ftp client (fugu) I´ve got the option to enforce a ssh1 (secure shell) connection to the atv. I can only connect to atv with this option enabled. So my recommendation would be to search for that option in cyberduck, or switch to fugu which worked like a champ for me.
The FTP server software may not have installed correctly. It doesn’t typically have problems like this, but nothing is always 100%.
Try reinstalling the aTV Flash software. You can re-install the aTV Flash directly on top of what is currently installed. There is no need to remove any plugins, or factory restore the Apple TV.
That worked a treat thank you, can FTP and connect through Finder
Now i’m having another problem though, I cannot get the ATV to mount my external NAS drive through SMB, I just get the error “mount_smbfs: empty server name”
I’m pretty sure I’ve put the server address in correctly, under finder on my mac it shows up as “smb://NAS500/NAS”, I’ve tried various differet versions of this but get the same error, I’ve tried a user login with username and password and a guest login but again get the same error.
Can somebody please help, I feel i’m so close now to getting the ATV I wanted! :?
The link to the how to did not solve my problem with the empty server name. I still cannot connect to the server with SMB. It is a link station quad 2 TB with an integrated Media Server DLNA certified. What is my mistake? Can anyone please help that i can watch my movies via the Apple TV
