AFP access not visible for all shares (Mac)
I have an Ultra 4 model that I recently upgraded to OS 6. I am in the process of moving the data from my backup to the ReadyNAS but am having some difficulty with AFP access. In the Admin page via the browser, in the Shares section, I see the following:
Documents
Home Folders
Media
I deleted some of the default shares like Pictures and Videos, as I prefer to keep them in the Media share.
In the Mac Finder window, when I click on ReadyNAS (AFP) in the 'Shared' section in the Finder sidebar, the only share that appears is the Documents share. I am trying to access the Media share, but I can only see it if I select ReadyNAS (SMB) in the Finder sidebar.
When I look at the Media share settings via the browser, it shows that AFP access is on and the rest of the settings mirror those of the Documents share.
With OS 4, when I selected ReadyNAS (AFP) in the Mac Finder sidebar, all the shares appeared.
Was there a change with OS 6 or is there something else I am doing wrong?
You are connected as a guest to AFP and have guest access turned off for the Media share. You either need to enable guest access for the share or login as a user to AFP.

There are two levels of controls for shares.
The global under services.
Then each share has setting for control. Go to the shares tab and the left click on the share you want to change. Select setting.
Then goto the service that you want to configure. Turn it on and set any setting that are necessary.
That should have you working.
Thanks for your response. I have checked the settings you mentioned and they are set the exact same as each other but only the Documents share is the one that shows up as an AFP share. I am wondering if I need to reset the NAS again. The default shares all showed up as AFP shares but any new shares I add, do not.
Hi gilbreen,
Are you running FW 6.4.2 in your system? Try disabling the AFP service under System->Settings and re-enable it afterwards. Rebooting the unit after this procedure would help.
Kind regards,
