I have gone through darned near every page in the owners manual including every page related to Smart Hub and AllShare. Nowhere in the 303 page manual did I find a reference to a PC-based utility that is required enable the TV's ability to access anything.

Samsung Smart View aplication For PC Windows 10/8/7/Xp/Vista & MAC. To be equipped to turn to Samsung Clever Perspective aplication on your hard drive or notebook machine in home windows 7 eight ten and Macbook software program you can commence doing some such matters as the up coming tutorial. Smart View is the official Samsung app for Windows to stream multimedia content from your PC to your smart TV wirelessly. What Smart View does is enable you to share media files stored in your computer, that is, photos, videos, and music, so you can enjoy them on the big screen of your Samsung TV.
Quite frankly, it would have been somewhat surprising if I had. This is because Samsung SMART TV sets are powerful computers in their own right. As such, they should be self-contained. Another consideration is that TV sets are not supposed to require computer science majors for setup; they are supposed to be setup by owners who have relatively little technical knowledge. Grandma would freak-out if she had to download a utility from the internet to allow her computer is be accessed by a TV set. The only reference to using a PC was as an option to download an update file that would then be transfered to the TV via USB thumb drive.
Having said all that, if you have a reference to this PC utility requirement, then please give me the name of the document and the page number or give a verbatim quote of the specific language. Absent a reference to specific language that states the requirement, then I am left to believe that you misunderstood what you read or saw. It is also worth noting that Samsung's owners manual includes a lot of weasel words. If something on the TV doesn't work on odd-numbered Tuesdays in months with 'e' in the name, then that may be covered in the manual. So you have to give very specific information about your setup when asking for help.
To start:. You have already assured me that Windows networking is enabled on your Mac. Make sure that your Mac and TV set are on the same subnet. Please don't sound so nasty, I am only asking for help.
In my first post I gave a link to the software that is needed on the PC in order for the TV to see the computer. Here it is again Click on the software button.
I phoned the Samsung support line (twice) and discussed in some great detail and they told me the TV would not work on a mac because the said mentioned software is Windows only. I posted here because they are not Mac specialists and I thought someone here might have an answer that the Samsung tech did not. I believe the computer and TV are on the same subnet, but if my 'relatively little technically knowledged Grandma' could do it I don't think it should be that difficult. Thank you for trying to help me with this, but if you can't, I do understand and maybe someone else has an idea. Thanks again.
Even after reading Page 213 several times, I overlooked this, the second of three bullets on the page. I would expect this software to run with a BootCamp installation of Windows. It might also be interesting to run the AllShare enabling software in virtual environment like Parallels Desktop running Windows. Without Windows in some fashion, your new SMART TV cannot access media on your computer. It appears as though Samsung does not want the business of Mac users. You have to understand something.
In your OP (first post), your only reference to the PC software to as 'an app.' However, I was interested in helping you. So I went to Samsung's website and searched your SMART TV's owners manual for a reference to 'an app' that did what you were talking about.
After I responded to your OP, you referred to AllShare in your second post. I returned to the owners manual and read through darned near every page of the 303-page manual. I paid particular attention to the sections that dealt with SmartHub and AllShare. Somehow, I overlooked the reference to the required PC software.
Of course, I did not do all of this work just to help you. I was very interested in buying a Samsung SMART TV. It would have been a dumb decision by Samsung to restrict its TVs to Windows users. I was willing to help an owner who came to an Apple fan site devoted to Macintosh computers and mobile devices for help with a Samsung TV set if I would learn more about the TV set. We could have both save a lot of time and frustration if you had given more specific information. That said, the end result is that we have both learned what the owners of a lot of other Samsung products already knew.
Samsung makes some dumb decisions. You are able to use less than you paid for. I will wait a little longer to buy a smart TV to see what Apple offers if it reenters the market. Is a cross-platform media server which claims to be compatible with Samsung's AllShare.
I believe 'AllShare' is merely Samsung's branding for a standard network protocol called DLNA, and therefore any DLNA-compatible software should work. It might also be possible to run the AllShare program without using a virtual machine and without installing Windows using WINE.
This is not easy to set up and configure, unfortunately, and it's a little different for every program, so I couldn't walk you through it. Hopefully TVMobili will work for you.
Oh boy, this is your lucky day! I have a 55' Samsung 6000 series very similar to your 60'. There is an awesome media server for Mac called Plex. You install Plex Media Server and the Plex client on your Mac (actually supports Windows and Linux).
A third party has just released a Plex App on the Samsung store and your TV is supported today. 2012 mode TV's not yet supported. Plex will also stream to iPhone, iPad, and Android.
There is a Rovio client, etc. Plex also streams over DLNA but the native Plex is better. At the moment the Plex App for Samsung only streams video (tv shows, movies) that you ripped with Handbrake, etc. It will be adding music and photo streaming (iTunes, etc.).
Ok, so I'm in this same dilemma and I'm curious, because I DO have an Apple iTV device hooked up to our non-smart TV downstairs. If I plug the iTV into the Samsung SmartTV, will that work in that I can connect my iMac computer to the Samsung TV? Or will they cancel each other out and not work? (sorry, I know the OP was trying to avoid buying another device, but asking b/c I have one already. Had I KNOWN this tv was not compatible with our entirely-Mac household, I wouldn't have purchased this TV, or rather TWO of them. Rather useless IMO, as we'd like to play movies we've purchased in iTunes on our TV, imagine that!!:s ).
