Is there a way to automatically connect to ReadyNAS Ultra 2?
Hi everyone, I received my NAS as a birthday gift so while I do not know the full benefits of it, I understand it's value and importance and am beginning to appreciate it more and more while learn...
Do you just want the ReadyNAS share volume to appear on your desktop?
I assume that you will be on your own network when you are backing up to your ReadyNAS?
Anyway, I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and I have the ReadyNAS volume auto mount when I open the lid.
If this is what you are looking for, do the following:
Mount the ReadyNAS volume as normal
Once the volume can be accessed on the desktop, open System Preferences
In the Systems section, there is "Users & Groups"
The current user should be highlighted (your account)
Here, there are 2 tabs in the right section of the window (Password / Login Items)
Click on the Login Items tab
Drag the whole ReadyNAS volume icon on your desktop to the window where it says: "These items will open automatically when you log in"
The only caveat to the above is when you are not on your network, the laptop will still try to connect to the ReadyNAS volume. Eventually it will fail and say it cannot connect. Just click ignore and you are good to go.
Hope that helps.
