Since I have upgraded to Lion I cannot mount my Receptor 1st Gen. The Receptor appears in Finder, but there is no button to connect to it. If I click "Receptor Drive" in the Receptor tools, I get the error:

Die Version des Servers, zu dem eine Verbindung hergestellt werden soll, wird nicht unterstützt. Wenden Sie sich zur Behebung des Problems an Ihren Systemadministrator.

That translates into: the server version on the device i want to connect to is not supported.

What to do? I currently cannot access any files on my Receptor, which is quite bad

Has anyone of the Muse devs already read this issue? As you can guess I am not very happy with this, as I cannot install anything on the Receptor.

Hello,

I do not know if you have tried this, but have you tried using Lion's Server connect features?

eg. Under finder menu: Go -> Connect To Server ....

On the dialog that comes up, specify a samba address to your receptor. eg. smb:/192.168.xxx.yyy
(where the numbers are the IP address assigned to your machine).

I'm curious if this will work for your Receptor1.

Good Luck,
Kevin L

I get exactly the same error message. Any other tips?

Hi again,

I'm clutching at straws mostly -- but here are a few things to check:

In your system prefs, see if file sharing is turned on (I don't think this makes a difference, but this is the setting I use in Lion to connect to Receptor 2s).

Also, you might try fixing your IP address on Receptor - eg. switch it to 'manual', and pre-assign it an IP address. If you are going through a router, set the router such that this address shows in a Static IP table (eg. pre-assigned IP address). Then try connecting via samba again (or possibly Apple File Protocol (eg. afp:/IP address). Maybe this will work?

Good Luck,
Kevin

I looked in to this, and having just bought a new Mac running Lion, this affects me as well. And although you can certainly run the Muse Remote program to see the interface, indeed you cannot log on to the drive using LION.

Further testing reveals that Apple NO LONGER SUPPORTS SAMBA in Lion. I've looked around on some Apple forums, and apparently this is breaking Network Attached Storage devices right and left and system admins are none too happy about it. The Mac forums are saying that there are third party apps available that will let Samba work, but I haven't tried any. And some forums suggest that people move back to Snow Leopard, which is something I'm considering doing instead of re-purchasing a bunch of software I need on a daily basis.

Samba is used to connect to the drives in the REV C Receptors (and earlier) and that can't be changed, unfortunately. However, one could consider upgrading the Receptor hardware/software to RECEPTOR 2, which does not rely on Samba, or you could consider doing a drive swap to V1.8 software, but that has its own set of issues to contend with, mainly that it will allow you to install software that won't run on RECEPTOR due to system requirement issues...

Hopefully you have an older SAMBA compliant computer you can use to update / load in new software to your RECEPTOR. And if you want to pursue doing an upgrade or drive swap, you can contact tech support and they'll help you out.

All the best

my new MacBook Pro/Lion doesn't work either with Rev C ...
too bad, my 1-year old MacBook (snow leopard) broke down.

I'm glad I still have my iMac/Snow Leopard. this will do until I found out about that third-party topic...

I had a problem with my Receptor 2, that Remote Control couldn't see it.

The simplest solution, since MuseResearch don't seem to have true solutions to these Lion related problems yet is to dual boot with an older OS if you have the install disc. I have a small partition for Snow Leopard now. Works.

This is a good solution, and in fact very clever - thanks Joel.

I'm going to have to figure out why everyone expects problems that Apple creates to be solved by the companies their decisions effect. I have a NAS device at home that no longer works with Lion. What does Apple say when people complain about them breaking Samba?

Yeah, I thought so. They don't care, do they?

Hi,

I've just recently discovered myself suffering from this problem. Has anyone found a working solution in Mavericks? Third Party software etc...
The above solutions did not work for me. I'd like to avoid a dual boot if possible. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I found a guide for creating a Snow Leopard boot disk on a USB Flash drive. Avoids having to backup and reformat the computers (Macbook Pro) drive and a better solution for portability (gigs and rehearsals) than using an external drive. Haven't tried it yet, have to find my old Snow Leopard Installer disk, but I thought it worth mentioning here for others in the same predicament. http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesproje ... bflash.htm

I'll report back.
