I tried posting this message in another Mac Forum and got no results...was hoping someone here can help. Thanks.
*****
I've searched online and followed numerous tutorials with no results...so I'm hoping someone can help me. I have two laptops, a Macbook Air and an Windows PC.
MBA: Yosemite 10.10.2
Windows: 8.1
What I want to do is connect the Windows laptop to my external hard drives via USB and then be able to access those hard drives from my MBA.
I've set up the workgroup in windows, set the hard drives to sharing mode (little people icon shows on the drive), I've tried to connect to the SMB server...
Here's where things go wrong:
I type in my username and password, but on my mac it just does this shaky thing like my password's wrong, but it's not! And I tried clicking guest instead but that didn't work either.
I really think I must have missed a step somewhere but I went back and I did everything over and over again. Still didn't work. Any thoughts? Thanks ahead of time for any help that I can get.
