Color Labels on Network Volumes

Good afternoon.
I have a unique problem which not even Google can help me with.
We recently implemented a number of SMB/CIFS shares which all our Macs connect to now.
Problem is that when applying a Color Label to a file, the Label drops if the file is modified and then saved.
Oddly enough the action on my own machine, with the same username/password to the same share, maintains the label, unless the file is "saved as".
Now the only difference I can figure is that my own machine is on 10.5.7 while the others are on 10.4.11. Testing on another Leopard machine it also seems to work.
Basically what I need to know is, is this a limitation of Tiger? Is there any way around it? Or is this another problem all together and my assumption is incorrect?

I have the same problem, so what did I do? In MobileMe in the calendar section I deleted all the calendars (duplicates, wrong colors) that were created / showed on my iPod Touch.
NOW I have no color calendars at all and all my events prior to July 2008 are simply gone (still on iCal on my Mac - and I'm checking, let's see YUP even August 2005 and earlier - all on MobileMe is the correct event, correct color.
BUT now I have no calendar colors on the iPod Touch, just about 10 events - recent or future ones - how to RESYNC this with the iPod Touch and have the calendars/colors correct and not duplicated??
Anyone have any ideas? Do I have to stop the PUSH and then update via the cable?
HOW DO I GET ALL MY EVENTS BACK ONTO MY IPOD TOUCH?
A mystery! Thanks for any help!

Color Labels not showing across Network

I appreciate any help I can get with this...
We have a 4 macs on this network right now in our Art Dept.
2 are 1.6GHz PowerPC G5's 1GB RAM
2 are 800 Mhz Power PC G4's w/ 1GB RAM
All are running 10.4.5
We have a Buffalo Terastation as our Unix Server with Gigabit Networking.
It is very important for us to be able to see the folder/file color coding system. It is not working on one of our G4's. It will allow me to change the color, but will not be visible from other machines neither will it see the color if it is changed from another machine.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?
What can I do to fix this machine so it understands the color system?
Is there an alternative to the coloring system?
Is there a plugin or expansion for this to add even more colors?
This machine is worthless to us if this does not work...this is a very fast paced environment where we need real-time color labels to constantly know the status of our ads!
Thanks much!!!
800 Mhz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1 GB SDRAM

I have been having the same problem and I just discovered a solution. At least it worked for me. One of our computers was connected to the server using cifs instead of afp. Once I reconnected using afp the color labels worked fine.
Select your server on the desktop of the computer you are having problems with and get info. Under General info, see if the Server address starts with afp or something else. Under the Go menu in the finder select Connect to Server... and make sure you put afp:// before the server address and connect.
Hope this helps, if not Good Luck!

Color Labels not appearing on server

Hi All,
We are having trouble seeing the color labels off a Win 2003 Server on our G4 FW800/Panther. All other Macs see them correctly ( G5s, both panther and tiger). AFP volumes on the server w/Appletalk. We also get random Indesign CS2 file loss on the same machine. Just show up as unix files. They all look fine on all other network machines>> Any ideas?
Thanks

I have been having the exact same issue since 'upgrading' to SL. No solution that I have found. I hope it will be corrected in a point maintenance update.
I am also having frequent disconnects and subsequently can't remount the airport disc volume.

Auto mounting different network volumes

I have a MacBook Pro. I use it at the office and at home. When I am in the office, I have one set of network volumes that I mount. At home, I have another (e.g. Airdisk, iMac HD, etc.)
I would like to figure out a way to have the right drives mounted based on where I am. Obviously, I can add aliases to my desktop and do it manually. Or, I can add them al to my user login options. But when I do that, I get error messages because my office drives aren't there at home and vice versa. Setting up different users doesn't seem to be the solution because I don't want to segregate my data, apps, etc.
Any ideas?

then you can do something along the following lines.
Paste the following into Script Editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities).
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
delay 10
set current_ip to do shell script "ifconfig |grep inet |tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'"
if current_ip = "work.ip.address" then
mount volume "afp://[email protected]/worksharename"
else
mount volume "afp://[email protected]/homesharename"
end if</pre>
Edit the script as needed. if your shares are smb and not afp change afp to smb in the above. save the script as an application and add it to the login items.

Since Lion upgrade, can not change the colored label of my HD in the Finder

... the "Macintosh HD" icon has the Label section grayed out when I select 'Get Info'.
I can only change the color of the USB attached disks.
Also, before the upgrade to Lion, I was able to assign colored labels to the attached network shares, in Snow Leopard; now I can see the label colors I've assigned when using Snow L. by I can not modify then anymore...
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply.
Lock was closed. It open after authentication, but the word "Label" is still gray and can not select a color label.
On the "Sharing and Permissions" have the folowing:
"You can only read"
"system - Read & Write"
"wheel - Read only"
"everyone - Read only"

Close all folders in Mail? Color Label folders? Find folder? And More!

Hi all.
I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
However...
It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
Is this possible?
It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:
http://img.skitch.com/20080820-eaqmy89emw6xm5pcj86iuqu992.jpg

I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
You see the problems?
Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:

Good luck

Can not color label more than one file at a time

Hi,
I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
Thanks,
Jay

Excel 2008, read-only file access from network volume

Hi,
Need some assistance please.
I recently setup a Macbook Pro 17" 2.4Ghz (10.5.2) and did a migration from a Powerbook G4. Installed Office 2008.
Excel will not open ANY files from a network volume without giving a read-only access error.
Word is ok and opens files fine.
drag the file from the network to the desktop and it opens ok. drag it back and it copys ok.
so, I created a new user and the problem persists.
I fired up a Macbook running 10.5.2 and Office 2008 and it logged onto the network fine and opened the excel docs just fine.
mmm, ok must be an OS problem.
So, I have just endured waiting for the archive and install to complete on the Macbook Pro and the problem is still there !!!!!
Help.
Is my only fix going to be a complete erase and start again from fresh ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

right then, as it looks like I'm talking to myself....
I have just wiped clean the Macbook Pro.
I installed Leopard from scratch, then installed Office 2008.
Logged back onto the network share, and the read-only error came up again, ONLY in Excel.
bugger.
Did the same thing with my Macbook and all is fine.
Copy the file to the local hard drive, opens ok.
I then copied the file to another Mac on the network.
mmmm, opens fine.
what's the difference....
mmmm, the machine it opens fine from is running 10.4
the machine which hosts all the data is running 10.3.9
could this be the problem.
Just done a software update check on the 10.3 machine and there are some security updates that need doing.
Going to run that now and see what happens, otherwise I think the iMac running 10.3.9 is going to need to come up to 10.4 and fingers crossed this will solve it.

Read-only file access from network volume

I get an read-only file access from network volume problem while sharing a drive from Snow Leopard to a Tiger install. Most of files were opening well, but *.fp7 (FileMaker) and *.xls (Excel) files won't open dealing with a read-only error.
As descibed in the last post of http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1406977 the client have the same share name of the server. Renomming it resolved the error!
Thanks!

I cannot create a catalog because everywhere I try on my computer, it comes up with cannot Lightroom cannot create a catalog on network volumes. And is there any way to contact Adobe directly? Would you be able to give me a phone number and/or email add

I cannot create a catalog because everywhere I try on my computer, it comes up with cannot Lightroom cannot create a catalog on network volumes. And is there any way to contact Adobe directly? Would you be able to give me a phone number and/or email address?@@

The short and direct answer to your question about catalogs on a network drive is that you can't do that. The catalog must reside on a local drive.

Network volumes with the same name

Hi everybody.
I recently got a Mac at the office. Yay! But I have an issue with network volumes. There are several machines I need to connect to using smb/cifs. Two of our development servers (Linux servers using smb/cifs) are configured to share each user's home directory. Naturally, my user name on both machines is the same, and therefore so is the name of the smb share. Unfortunately, MacOS X uses the share name as the volume name when it connects. This means I have two volumes with the same name, so I can't make any aliases or have any quick access to them. That's because aliases resolve to the first of them which was mounted, regardless of which of them they were made to originally.
Other people in the office use Windows to access the shares, which poses no problem because in Windows you either give the full path of the share (including host name, which makes the paths distinct), or map a distinct drive to the share. I also mount them from my Linux, but on Linux you explicitly give the mount point, and thus make it distinct.
Any way to make the volumes distinct on the Mac? Otherwise to make aliases resolve correctly in such a setup?

there are several ways you can deal with this. first, you can use command line mount_smbfs command. it does let you specify a mount point. you can easily automate the process of creating a mount point and mounting the share using automator so you don't have to do it by hand every time. and you can also add the automator workflow to mount the shares to your login items. then it will happen automatically on every login. lastly, you can use autofs or add entries to /etc/fstab to automount the smb shares on startup. both methods let you specify mount points too. see this link for details

How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge? I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge. I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

JohnM.
I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4? I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck. It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files. thanks gain.
