Hi Victor,
Thanks for your reply. I can connect to the NAS from my MBP, using the method you describe and I have enabled AFP and CIFS on the NAS, but not NFS
iTunes is working just fine on my MBP.
What I want to do is to use rsync the itunes folder to the NAS, so that the contents of the music folder is mirrored on the NAS. That way I have the music to play on my streamers, but the itunes library resides on the mac. If only itunes worked usably quickly on the nas, but its sooo slow, I gave up with that some time ago.
As I say, I am trying to set up an rsync backup job on the nas to "pull" copies of the itunes files onto the media folder of the nas.
Although the mbp has no trouble seeing the nas, the nas cannot connect to my mbp, even though it is listed in the shares on the control panel.
Any thoughts?
