Transferring flac files from usb stick to unitiserve on an iMac
Posted by: johnbiffa on 19 February 2016
How do you import tracks for storage on unitiserve using iMac. I have copied files from usb stick to a folder
If you can find the Unitiserve folders in a finder window, or on your desktop, just drag the music folders into the US downloads folder.
On my Mac, these US folders appear and disappear at random times, for reasons unknown, so it's not always possible, but hopefully you'll be able to find them.
If you map the drives, you'll always be able to find them. That assumes Mac has something like Windows Explorer.
Hi HH, I believe it's possible to map a drive on a Mac so I might give it a try when I'm back at home next week. Thanks for the suggestion.
There is no drive mapping persay for mac. What you can do is once the drive is mounted right click and create and alias of it and leave that on the desktop. When on the lan you can double click the alias, otherwise the excellent 'mountain' is a superb menu bar app to show you recently mounted volumes which can be accessed with a simple click. Its only a few quid but buy it from the mountain website not the app store.
Gary, thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I'm not sure any of this solves my problem. There are 4 different ways of accessing the Unitiserve that I'm aware of: typing its IP address into a browser, using N-Serve, opening the folders that appear on the desktop, and selecting it in the finder sidebar. All 4 of these options come and go at random, and sometimes vanish as I'm using them.
Apologies to the OP for usurping your thread - hopefully your query was answered.
I have managed to transfer the files having discovered the "downloads" folder inside the master n serve folder in finder.
I can confirm that the folder is not always visible however which must be an Apple issue.
Thanks to everyone for their advice and comments !
This works for me to, but tunes show wrong play order when I look into US download folder.
