I recently updated ny Mac software to 10.12 but I am not able to connect BeoMaster 5 via the Beoconnect application. 


Anyone has any solution ?

Hi

 

I received this response from BEOCARE:

 

I am sorry to inform you that BeoConnect is not compatible with macOS Sierra, and the following procedure must be followed in order to transfer content to the BeoMaster 5:
• On BeoSound 5 in SETTINGS -> NETWORK INFO, the IP address of BeoMaster 5 is written
• On Mac, open Finder - in top bar select "GO" -  "Connect to server"
• In server address type: smb://<IP Address of BeoMaster 5>/bm-share$
• Provide 'BM-USER' as user and the password stored in SETTINGS -> NETWORK SETTINGS -> CLIENT PASSWORD on BeoSound 5
• Now select the server in Finder: Shared -> IP-address of BM5 -> Music. (or if "connected servers" are shown on desktop -> choose the "BM-SHARE$" icon)
• You are now able to drag and drop files from your computer to the music library on BeoMaster 5
 
I haven't tried it as yet... hopefully it works

Beovision 8-40, Beocentre 6-26, Beocentre 2, Beolab 9's, Beogram 7000, Beogram 9500, Beo 5, Beolit 1000, 800, 700, 600, 400, Beocom 6's, Beotalk 1200

Yes it works and using a piece of software called carbon copy now my bs5 and iTunes libraries are always in sync!

Can't copy playlists though.

Hi 

I have tried to follow the instructions and get as far as i can drag and drop files to BM shares. 

The problem is, that it opens a new file with every album imported. I don't know how to bring new albums in the row of the existing ones. Any hint?

How do you connect a Mac to the BM5 by cable to have a faster communication?

Thank you and regards
