==Enabling SMB sharing==
:Once you have your Network settings configured to communicate with XBMC you need to enable '''Windows Sharing''' through '''System Preferences''' by:
# Navigating to the '''Sharing''' panel.
# On the left, under Service, select "File Sharing" and turn it On if it's not already enabled.
# Select "Options" and check "Share Files and Folders using SMB (Windows)" and
# Below, check the boxes of any accounts you want to give SMB access to then click Done.
# Windows Sharing should now show as "On" with a green light next to it. Add folders, users and permissions in the boxes below.


You have now enabled Windows Sharing on Mac OS X for the specific accounts you enabled in the Sharing panel. If you want to give public access (i.e. no password required) to shares you need to enable "Allow guests to connect to shared folders" for the Guest account in System Preferences under Accounts. Now you can configure this share by [[Adding Media Sources|adding a media source]] in the XBMC GUI.


== Mac OS X 10.7 and up ==
Apple changed their SMB/Samba server in Mac OS X 10.7 to only use the SMB 2.0 protocol (with no 1.0 fallback), which broke compatibility with XBMC until XBMC v12.1 came out. In other words, update to XBMC v12.1 or higher to regain SMB compatibility with OS X 10.7 (and up) SMB servers.


Users still using XBMC v11 can use a tool such as [[SMBUp]] to regain SMB access on OS X 10.7 (and up).
To set up SMB sharing on any Apple product, you should refer to the Apple Support pages.
