I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, and I installed OpenElec which seems to work as expected, with an external HD plugged in USB. During the setup wizard I enabled Samba, and now I can connect via Finder (OS X 10.11 El Captain) with command smb://192.168.0.10... Once executed the command, I can login as guest or user (root-openelec), but both user type don't give me permission to edit/delete/add files. Whenever I try to do something, I'm asked to login, but then the previous user-password are not accepted anymore..

I went to see samba.conf file in /usr/share/services/samba.conf and it looks like this:

SAMBA_AUTOSHARE="true"
SAMBA_USERNAME="openelec"
SAMBA_PASSWORD="openelec"
SAMBA_SECURE="false"

but those user and pass don't work.

How could I transfer files between my mac and the HD plugged into the raspberry usb?

I just solved it by reformatting the HDD. From OS X I had to use Disk Utility with following setup: Format: ExFat Scheme: Master Boot Record

Now everything is working as expected. I hope this will help future coming newbie like me.
