It would also be helpful to know which version of the Mac OS you are running, whether your DKC-850 connects to the Internet successfully, and whether you are running the latest version of the DKC-850 firmware.

Good afternoon, everyone.

tintinlad320, are you able to access the Internet update feature on the DKC-850 to verify that you have both a working network connection and the latest firmware? Can you access the free channel on Disklavier Radio?

If not, there is an issue with the connection of the DKC-850 to your home network.

On the other hand, if the basic Internet function of the piano is working, the problem lies somewhere else.

Are you trying to access the From/To PC folder from a computer?

Or are you trying to run the Disklavier Remote app on an iOS device?

In my own case, my DKC-850 firmware is up to date, and I can access the control unit from my iPhone. However, I cannot mount the DKC-850 on the desktop of either of 2 Macs, one of which is running the latest OS X 10.7 and the other is running the latest OS X 10.8. The DKC-850 does show up in the sidebar of my Finder, however; I just can't open it.

Regards,

PianoBench

I dont know... Im really not at ease with all the networking business but in the options of the sharing preferences for the files there is a check box for sharing via SMB maybe that is what you speak about... but I tried cheched and unchecked to no avail

I haven't heard of that particular problem with DKVBrowser. Especially with a dkc850 since there's no separate database... If you can see it you should be able to play it...

Thank you George for the infos the Mucomander works very well to access the FromToPc folder indeed!

And Kevin, for the DKVBrowser it starts well and lists the content of the DKC850 but I cannot get it to play anything... normal im on 10.8.4
