I've browsed and search the forums extensively and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I hope you guys can help.

I just (happily) made the leap to Mac and jumped headfirst into the machine you see in my sig. Until now we've been using two PC laptops for processing power and have been storing all of our music and pictures on a Linkstation NAS drive. I can get my Mac to access the drive and copy the files it sees, but for some reason it refuses to "see" all the files. I thought this might have to do with some of the "forbidden characters" that I've read about (e.g. ", /, #, etc) but the file names in question do not violate this rule. My PC (thankfully) can still see these files on the NAS but I had planned on consolidating all my media files onto the MP. Can anybody help my Mac see all the files on the NAS so I can transfer them?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Wait, should I have put this in the OS X forum? Sorry. Still learning the categories of MacNN.

Yes, this should have gone in the OS X forum. Don't worry, it'll likely be moved shortly by a mod.

As for your problem I have no idea. Sorry
