Heh. Mine is from 2011 and 64-bit so... actually I have 3 and the old app didn't work and this new "Beta" doesn't work either.
> So, those are all lies.
I'm right there with you. I specifically got the ReadNAS because of the OS X functionality (and because it was Debian based) and well, that got me to filing a support ticket and coming here.
So Netgear, this might be of interest: http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/truth-advertising

Fix it or abandon it. Just do something other than ignoring it. The support tech kept telling me that engineering knew about it and it would be fixed with ReadyCloud. Well, that didn't happen. Authentication isn't hard. OS X apps aren't hard (obviously since there is an app store and this thing called Xcode). I've had to result to using rsync but it's not what I want. I want a desktop syncing app like Transporter, Dropbox, Owncloud, etc etc etc.
And no, I can't use own cloud to hook into the NAS because I'm already using own cloud for separate files on a remote system.
