Hi everyone,
I've been a happy ipod user who eventually purchased a macbook pro who then purchased an iphone, and I finally saw the light and bought an imac (actually I sold my MBP to pay for the Imac since i just can't work on a laptop!)...
And so the fun will begin once my beautiful shiny 24 incher arrives, hopefully by Friday.
One of my primary concerns is going to be accessing, reading, and writing files to my NAS. It's a Dlink DNS-323. It's formatted with a Linux file system, and uses Samba/Windows file sharing.
One of the problems I ran into with my Macbook pro was that every time I put the computer to sleep, when I would wake back up I would have to manually re-map the drive. I would definitely like to know how to avoid that.
Also, are there going to be any issues with writing files from my Mac to the NAS? A lot of the music files on my NAS have long file names like "The Killers - Spaceman (DJ Tiesto sunrise remix).mp3", will the Mac be able to properly display these files?
Also, if I download more music and save it to the NAS directly, not to my local machine, will these long file names be supported?
Just a few dummy questions from someone who is still learning OSX. Looking forward to finally ditching my PC, I hope. Although I will probably still use it to burn DVD's since the Superdrive only burns at 8x and my Lite on burns at 16.
