Try this, I got my first Rpi this week and puzzled over this too - but got it to reliably mount a Mac-Mini folder on startup when I remembered to configure it to "Wait for Network".
Extra line in fstab is:
//192.168.X.XX/pi/Public /home/pi/MacDrive cifs defaults,uid=pi,gid=pi,user=pi,password=raspberry,rw 0
That is ..... //Mac-Mini IP Address/MacUser/MacFolder /(Rpi folder "MacDrive" is inside /home/pi/) cifs.......and so on................
To get it working I set up a Mac user as "pi" with password of "raspberry", not very imaginative - I could have used existing Macuser details. Made sure that user Public folder was shared. Now I have about +200Gb storage available.
