4.0EA3 : Unable to access mapped drives (Windows) in file browser dialogs

All File Browser dialogs only allow access to by local C: (hard disk) and D: (DVD) drives. It is not possible any more to access mapped drives (which are referencing UNC paths to our file server) - i.e. Network drives.
I have tried the following accesses to the File Browser:
File -> Open : Does not work
File -> Data Modeler -> Open : does not work
Tools -> Preferences -> Environment -> Log -> Log Directory -> Browse : does not work
This worked/works fine in SqlDev 3.2.2
I tried to rule out connection/authentication problems to our SAN (the network drives are fully accessible from Windows Explorer and even JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0) - I created a drive mapping to a share on my local hard disk. Can't see this mapping from within SqlDev either
Problem occurs on Win7 64-bit
Looking forward to Oracle feedback or to see if other users find the same issue

Hi Jeff
Many thanks for your reply.
No - the location drop-down only shows my C: (Hard Drive) and D: (DVD Drive).
With further playing, I did find that if I qualify a script on a network file share with the full UNC path, it successfully opens the script.
The problem is that I cannot navigate to locations on mapped drives.
Having successfully opened a sample script, there is now a shortcut to the folder/directory of my shared scripts in the left pane of the open (file browser) dialog box. Its a good workaround.
I have shared a screenshot on my Google Drive (this forum does not allow insert of images or attachments ?)

Feature Request - use native Windows file browsing dialog

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before. I wasn't able to find anything with a search in the forum, so I'll post it here.
An enhancement request for SQL Developer would be to have it use the native file browsing dialogs in Windows. I'm using Windows 7, and it would be nice to have a native Windows dialog pop up when I go to open or save a file, rather than the ugly (I think) default one, which must be a generic Java file browsing construct. The native dialog would allow it to include all the links to Windows 7 libraries, favorites, and other things like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. if those were installed.
I'd be curious to hear what others think about this idea.
Thanks,
Brian

At the risk of starting a Windows/Linux/Mac flame war, or pissing off Java developers, I'm not really into the whole Java write once, run anywhere approach. Particularly when it comes to look and feel. There are merits to cross-platform development when it comes to application functionality, but look and feel is a bit trickier. Windows has specific features that Windows users are used to seeing and using. Mac the same. Linux the same. I think this is especially true when it comes to dealing with the file system. So applications should adjust to the native environment nicely and not introduce elements that don't "fit in". Just MY $0.02. :-)
I'm not a Java developer, but IvanG pointed out that it SHOULD be pretty easy to invoke a native Windows dialog box from Java. That would be my choice.
Thanks!

E1550 - unable to access USB drive with Ubuntu

I am probably overlooking something real obvious but after screwing around for two hours I figure I need some help.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I have set up the E1550 router with an external drive that I formatted with the router utility. At this point I do NOT have an internet connection hooked to the router - I am not sure I want to for now. What I would like to do is to be able to access, wirelessly, a drive that multiple users can use to back up their important files onto.
I have tried using anonymous disk read/write access as well as creating shares. All the features seem to be setting up ok but at this point I have no clue how to access the drive.
I have tried using the Ubuntu files utility and then selecting 'browse network' followed by selecting 'windows network'. Alas, 'windows network' is an empty file with no drive present.
I have tried accessing the router wirelessly and also hard wired - no joy.
Am I maybe not acessing the drive properly through Ubuntu? Do I need to mount the remote drive rather than accessing it through the windows network ?
Thanks in advance for any pointers given !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not expert with Ubuntu OS but have you tried to map the drive on your computer? I have no idea how to do that using Ubuntu but if you're using Windows or Mac, you can simply follow the steps from Linksys KB. It usually helps me when I am trying to enable file-sharing capabilities within my network.

Can't access mapped drives on network with 2008 Server.

Hi,
I got two servers, 2003 and 2008, the 2003 is now a data and application server, it's roles was migrated on the 2008. While the 2003 is able to map drives on the network, the 2008 can only access drives while Deep Agent 9 Antivirus is disabled. The 2003
uses port 135 and 139, those ports are allowed on the 2008. When i tried to access targeted pc's drives, I got error 0x80004005 'Unspecified error'. The windows network client is ticked, I tried with different credentials and it's not working.
Thanks for help, Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all check whether you have successful ping to the destination server.
Have you specified the permission for the users to access the network drives?
Are you trying to access the mapped network drive from which client system?
From the description and error, it seems there is some corrupted profile which might get the issue for this case. You can try to run sfc /scannow to check the file system.
As there is one certain article for this error, please check this article
for information.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Users losing the ability to access mapped drives or browse to file shares

I have Server 2008 with Service Pack 2....32bit. I have about 75 - 100 users that connect to it for file access and print. For some reason during random parts of the day users will lose the ability to access their drive mappings. They
are also unable to browse to any of the volumes. This starts out with just a few users then affects everyone within minutes. Although you can ping and access the server through RDP just fine. After a reboot of the server everything is fine.
This is happening 2 to 3 times per week. There is nothing in the event logs that explain this. ANY suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi,
such behavior can be caused by inresponsible disks or by issues with the network connection.
Is Windows Explorer locally on the server still capable to access the physical volume hosting the shares?
Are there processes like volume snapshots or DFS replication causing high load?
How current are the network interface drivers on both the clients and the server?
If upgraded drivers do not help, you can try to disable the various TCP Offloads in the network adapter properties as well as TCP Chimney.
Also the network switch could play a role.
Best greetings
Olaf

Unable to access Partition Drive

I was recently using a G6 Tower with a hard drive partion for use with Virtual PC loaded. The logic board/mother board crapped out and rather then pay the funds to repair I installed the hard drive in a stand alone box to use with a new iMac. I have been able to access the drive in the box but am encountering lots of issues when trying to access the partion portion. I'm unable to access Virtual PC for some reason and keep receiving the message "Virtual PC quit unexpectedly" and am asked to reopen the application which just goes into a loop. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the hint though I am aware of this. I'm attempting to access the partition to obtain some data off of it to in turn utilize within VM Fusion.

Unable to remove Mapped drives GPO

Hello
Windows Server 2008 R2
I previously create some mapped drives for users in 2 cities (same lan different ips - 10.10.2.x and 192.168.0.x)
Under each ou I have gone into the GPO preferences and created a "Delete" under map drives. When rebooting the workstations, the drives are still there and mapped. I deleted the GPO for them and still, they show up. I also created
a new mapped drive and is sporatic to users (some users it does show up, others it does not show up).
I cannot figure out why they are still being mapped or why only some users see the new mapped drive and some don't. Even those users that see the new mapped drive still see the old ones as well.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Terry

Hi Terry,
There may be few things which you check
1. Run RSOP or GPresult on users system and confirm if the old / new groups are getting applied.
2. Make sure that group policy objects are replicated all domains Controllers in domain so that there is replication issue which is causing this behavior
3. As suggestion if you need map drives for these users then don't need create new delete map drive. You can remove the original map drive settings or filter out these set of users using item level targeting.
Hope this helps to resolve the issues.

Unable to access the login screen using web browser

Hi!
I have recently downloaded the peoplesoft HCM template from edelivery.oracle.com and created two virtual machines namely HCM-DB and PIA-APP. Now both the virtual machines are able to ping to each other but are unable to ping to the Oracle virtual server nor to the base machine on which the Oracle virtual manager is installed. Both the viirtual machine, the oracle vm server and oracle vm manager are in the same network 192.168.1.0.
Secondly if I am starting the database then the PIA server. Still I am unable to access the login screen using the following url:- http://nsoln.com:8000/ps/signon.html.
As, I am new to this field, any help would be a great asset for me to resolve the above issue.
Thanking you..
Yours Sincerely

Check the server name in your httpd.conf file
(ORACLEHOME\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf) and look to see if it is in capital letters. If it is edit it to lower case. Reboot.

HT1473 External Hard Drive (windows media files)

Just bought a MAC and I want to "import" my Window Media Files from an external hard drive (western digital) into my iTunes. I own and copied all of my
CDs onto this external drive and it works just fine with my Windows PC. When I connect the external drive to the iMac everything appears as it should. When I try to "import library" from itunes it doesn't do anything. No attempt to convert to the Apple format at all. I can play the music using "Flip4Mac" but this doesn't help in trying to add it to my iTunes. Any help would be grateful.
Bill in Wyoming.

iTunes for Mac doesn't play Windows Media Audio Files. Neither does iTunes for Windows, but it does include a feature that will convert WMA according to your current import settings. Convert your files on your old Windows box before moving them to the Mac.

Unable to access mapped network drive, DFS

TL;DR: Unable to map a network drive on one particular computer, except if circumventing DFS.
OK - So I have exhausted all my options in this matter, so all suggestions are welcome.
Keep in mind the file system is DFS.
1. User has been set up the same as our other users in Active Directory.
2. Most network drives are connected via GPO. They are mapped via\\company.local\common\
3. The users' home folder is connected via setting in AD -> Profile -> Home folder ->
Connect X: To \\company.local\homedir\username
4. When the user logs on, all network drives defined in GPO are mapped OK, but the X: which is defined via "Home folder" in AD, is not connected. When trying to map it manually, we get "Access denied".
5. If the user tries the complete path via Explorer: \\company.local\homedir\username - Error 0x80004005 Unspecified error occurs. We have googled this particular code but found nothing that applies to us.
6. If the user tries the complete path to the folder on the actual file server, circumventing DFS, the home folder is mapped OK.
Strange thing is: This only happens on this particular computer. If users logs on to another computer, in the same domain, receiving the same GPO etc. The X: is mapped fine via \\company.local\homedir\username
Also if another user logs on to the problematic computer they also cannot access their X: on \\company.local\homedir\username
So we tried updating the WLAN/LAN drivers to no avail. Might there be any settings on the network adapters that might cause this?
Kthxbai

If other computer has the same policy ("Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM"), it should not be the cause.
I agree that all clients should have the same Group Policy but sometimes the group policy may not be applied correctly on a client which causes issues. Thus you can try a "gpupdate /force" and see if issue persists.
Also you can test to access \\company.local to see if it will success. Try \\rootserver as well if it is different as DFS folder target.
As the issue only occurs on a specific client, maybe we can have a try with re-join domain.

Problem accessing mapped drive

We are a small business. We have 3 machines that are Win 8 and the rest are Win 7. One of the Win 7 machines acts as our "server." We are having an issue that the Win 7 machines will not be able to access the server files. It will tell us that
the server does not have enough memory to preform the operation, or that an error occurred reconnecting. Now, the funny thing is that when none of our Win 7 machines can access the shared drive, all of our Windows 8 machines have no problem accessing the server.
Please help!

Do the W7 machines all have the same NIC and NIC drivers? If so, then on one of them I'd try to update the driver and if no update is available to rollback the driver. If neither works, buy a NIC (even a USB one) and try that.

Unable to access external drive connected to Mac Pro running Mountain Lion

When I initially connect, it is accessable and I am able to back up to it. But after a few weeks, it no longer allows changes. It is still mounted, and I can see the directories on it, but can no longer write to it. I was told by the folks at G-drive that this is a known problem with Mountain Lion. I really need my drive to stay available....I notice that there is an update to 10.8.4, but before taking my FM Pro Server offline, I'd like to know if the update will fix the problem.
Thanks.

I don't know if it's the same problem, but in the last few weeks we have had that happen on two machines running Snow Leopard and one running Lion 10.7.5. In our case, it always involves Time Machine, and the FW external FW drive becomes read-only for no apparent reason and despite the fact that Command+I reveals the user "can read and write" to the drive. Running Apple's disk utility to Repair Disk a few times usually fixes it.
It's just infuriating. Ever since Leopard came out with Time Machine I had had that intrusive, obnoxious utility permanently disabled. I enabled it in Lion, and I've disabled it again.

Unable to access external drive.

I'm a newbie to macs. Tried to use my Maxtor One Touch III USB external hard drive which had previously been my windows backup drive, on my new mac. Copied all the files to the mac, reformatted it with Mac Extended and then copied the files back over to the drive. Everything was fine until I installed the "proper drivers" for the Maxtor drive and now the drive isn't recognized at all by the mac. A call to maxtor revealed that the USB drive is not supported on mac. My question is is there any way to "uninstall" these new drivers I installed and revert back to the native mac driver that originally recognized the drive? Any other ideas?

Congrats on the new iMac 24" and welcome to Apple Discussions... you've come to the right place.
Have you tried doing a search for the external drive software (drivers)? If not, click the round (blue or gray) icon top right of your screen, that is Spotlight. In the drop down search field type in the name of the software. Hopefully it will return the names of the files and where they are. If you locate the Maxtor files, drag them to the Trash.
If you get that far... go here and download a new driver for Macintosh:

Unable to access ipod in windows 7 and itunes.

My ipod has been sitting in a charging dock for a few months now. Yesterday
i removed it from the doc to add some new music. When I tried to attach the ipod to my computer through the USB cable I noticed the ipod was not recognised in itunes or in Computer.
I have tried about every solution in visited forum and even contacted Apple. I have noticed that the ipod will charge while it is in the charger or charging from the computer. the ipod is not recognised when attached to the computer, but will play back music and charge as per normal.
Apple suggest it needs servicing for a charge of $170 - should I just try another cable??
PS - all the USB ports on all my computers have been tested and are all functioning properly. All help will be gratefully excepted.

This is not an issue with Itunes. It is a problem with Windows 7.
If you are have a motherboard with an N-Force chipset, you are most likely experiencing a know USB 2 Bug in Windows 7. This issue causes the USB Port to lockup when transferring data to USB2 Devices on some Motherboards. It mostly affects n-force motherboards but has also been reported on other chipsets as well.
Microsoft are aware of the issue and are working on a hotfix. For further information and a temporary workaround head to the following thread on Microsoft Technet:
