A way to save to network share

How can i add a network share as an option to safe my documents?
I use a apple script to mount a share belonging to the current user (smb://server/folder/username).
I see it mounted if i go Go -> Computer and can read/write files.
If i make a file in Teksteditor (or any other program) and hit command+s i don't have a option to save it in that folder.

Once you navigate to the folder, you can command-option drag it to your desktop to create an alias. Then, all you have to do is double-click on the alias to to mount the drive and go right to that directory. That should work in the file dialog too.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the sidebar. You can try it there. I am worried that because the Finder is always running it could keep the volume mounted if it is in the sidebar. That would prevent the automounter from disconnecting the server if you aren't using it. But you can try it there and see how it works. If not, just keep it somewhere else that is easily accessible.

Is it possible to prevent the OS from dropping and deleting a network share shortcut?

One thing that has always bugged me about Mac OS is that when a network share becomes unresponsive or unavailable the shortcut on the desktop disappears and you get a glaring messaging that the share has been disconnected.
Is there any way to prevent a network share from being removed just because it becomes momentarily unavailable?
As an example, on a Windows machine the network share shortcut remains, you simply cannot use it but it is there and ready to go the moment the share comes back online. Is there some way to make OS X behave in this manner? Or is there a way to extend the time out interval for a network share?
Thanks.

Drag the icon into the sidebar of a Finder window under FAVORITES.

Win10 connection breaks network share (SMB)

I've noticed this little issue since installing Windows 10.
I have a Windows 7 PC which has a shared drive.
I access this drive from my 2 laptops, and 2 media centers.
All is fine, UNTIL I connect to this network share from the Windows 10 laptop.
Once I do this, I can no longer connect to the network share anymore. Always get timeouts.
Thought maybe something was hogging up the allotted 20 connections, but checked fsmgmt.msc, and it shows no connections to my shares after I close out.
The only way to access the network share again, is to reboot the Windows 7 PC.
Again, this ONLY happens after I connect to said share from the Windows 10 laptop.

I'm getting this exact issue as well! as soon as I try and connect to a share on my domain I'm not able to ping any servers from the Win10 machine and i can't ping back.

Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

Hi,
I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) -
Other combinations:
Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again.
I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
be solved.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Daryl

Thank you Max.
I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Very Slow to save Office 2013 files (Excel/Word) to a network share

I have an issue with a customer's system whereby they experience problems with saving either a Word or Excel file to another workstation on the network.
The network share is located on a Windows7 Pro x64 machine. The problem can be seen on a machine that's running Windows 8.1 Pro X64 along with Office 2013. When the user attempts to save the document back to the network share, there's
a very long delay (sometime around a minute) before the save completes.
I've tried turning off indexing of off-line files (via indexing options) and also declaring the network location as a trusted location (via the Trust Centre settings from within Excel & Word).
If I simulate the same, but with a local file (eg loaded/saved to the Desktop) then there's no delay, so I conclude that it's something related to the process of saving data to the network share.
The normal copy speed across the network, and between these 2 machines, is very fast. It's only when running Word/Excel that the problem manifests itself.
Any pointers would be gratefully received!
Martin

Hi Martin,
Please first try to disable your antivirus software and check the issue again.
This issue may also occur if you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) to secure the Temporary Internet Files folder. If this is the situation, please refer to the following article and try to fix the issue:

Is there any way to save a wifi network so that you don't have to join every time you open your mac?

I was wondering if there was a way to save a wifi network to your macbook so that when I open it everytime I dont have to connect it everytime.

It should remember your networks by default, but in case that option is turned off, go to System Preferences - Network - click Wifi on the left - click Advanced - and tick "Remember networks this computer has joined".
If that is already ticked, your network settings may be corrupt and it may help to create a new location - in the Location menu at the top of the Networks screen, click Edit Locations, add a new named location and try again with the wifi connection.

When students save their work to the network share they become .tmp files and are unrecoverable.

Hello,
The student in our photoshop class have run into an issue when trying to save files. They appear to save fine, however, when they go to open them the files read as .tmp and will not open with Photoshop. Please help.

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Mx925 - save the scan to network share

Hello all,
is it possible to setup the mx925 to save the scan to a network share? e.g., \\QNAP\scans
The network share is on a QNAP NAS, if that makes a difference.
I fear the answer is no but you never know ...
Many thanks,
George

An update. I re-booted the server using one of the clones I made before upgrading to Yosemite and the login problem still exists. I apologize to Apple for my earlier comments.
I now have to figure out what happened to the permissions or login for the copiers or something to cause this problem.

Multiple users accessing document on network share

In our small office we have a couple of numbers douments that are regulary accessed and updated by 3 different people on three different machines, the numbers documents they access are stored on a network share on the Mac Server in the office.
The problem we have is that all three able to open a file at the same time, obviously this is causing all sorts of isues. People losing data they have put into the file and also causes issues with someone being unable to save the file while someone else has it open.
Surely there must be some sort of feature that when one person has the file open, its is locked for editing to everybody else that attempts to access it, I have searched around but cant seem to find anything to solve the problem. Anybody here have any suggestions?
Thanks
Craig

Once a document is all set up, and then you are just making relatively minor edits, then you might find it useful to "share" it on iCloud and have everyone access it and edit it via Numbers on icloud.com rather than Numbers on the Mac. That way you can all work on it at the same time without losing changes.

How can I stop an network share from auto mounting?

I have a recent 13" MBPr and I installed Steam. For kicks, I told it to save the library on my 10.8 mac mini server. This worked well. It worked so well, I started up Parallels and did the same thing for my steam library on my boot camp partition. I closed Parallels and Steam then put my laptop to sleep. I was away from my home network and repeatedly received messages about not being able to access my server in a standard Finder pop-up. No big deal, I opened Steam to try and remove the library from my list. It was no longer listed.
Upon arriving home I opened steam and still could not find my share in the list. I removed Steam and all it's support files. Still on every boot I get the finder error about not being able to connect to my server. When I boot up my parallels boot camp VM I get the same Finder error. It pops up several (I never bothered to count) before it stops after I keep closing the pop-up.
I've looked at /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto_home, my login items, and I cannot find the process that keeps trying to mount the network share. When I am at my home and reboot my mac or boot parallels I do not receive the error. But I also do not see the mounted share on my desktop. I do see it when I perform the ls command on /Volumes. When I try and cd into it I get a Permission Denied error. Root/Wheel seems to own the mounted share. When I sudo the folder I see all the files stored on that volume.
Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening without resorting to creating a new user? I just got this one the way I like it (before I screwed it up with steam!)
Thanks for reading my short novel.

did the restore through itunes but to no avail.
Then you must have restored and installed your backup when requested. To remove those emails, you have to restore as new, i.e. without your backup, as roaminggnome suggested.

Event ID 33020 LS Centralized Logging Agent - Error while moving cache files to network share

I have the "AlwaysOn" CLS logging scenario running in my Lync 2013 Enterprise deployment. I did not configure the CacheFileNetworkFolder option since i don't care about retaining these logs anywhere other than on the local drives of the Lync
servers so i just left it blank. Now every few hours or so I am getting Event ID 33020 in each Lync server and SCOM is firing an alert as well.
The CsClsLogging configuration is as follows:
PS C:\> Get-CsClsConfiguration

Is there a way to stop the flow of these events without having to configure CLS to transfer the logs to a network share?

Yes, the CacheFileLocalFolders path of 'c:\CLSTracing' is valid on all the Lync servers. The AlwaysOn scenario is started, running and producing .hdr & .cache files in this folder on all servers across my front-end, director and edge pools.
In addition, i am able to search for and extract, valid logging information that i can analyze using Snooper.exe.
Reconfigure the CentralizedLoggingConfiguration how???
Tried setting the CacheFileNetworkFolder value to null by running: Set-CsClsConfiguration -CacheFileNetworkFolder $null and then restarting the CLS agent. As expected, event 33037 fired confirming the settings were received from the CMS.

How to mount network share on lion permanently

I want to know how to mount a network share from my NAS on mountian lion.
I have seen and tried the suggestions about using command+k or the "go connect to server" and mounting that way so the password for the share is put into the keychain, then dragging the now mounted share to the system preferences user login items.
However this isn't satisfactory. It causes windows to pop up for each share that I have when logging in.
What I Want is for the share to appear as a mounted hard drive in the left navigation column of the finder window. I'd also like to be able to make a shortcut to the share on my desktop (or put it in my dock bar). If it shows up under devices that is perfection okay too, just so it's there somewhere logical.
The pop up windows simply clutter up the desktop, and if they are closed, then the share is closed too, and then there is a manual process of having to use the very tedious command+k or go connect to server method to connect again.
I need them to be able to click and open the share. I don't need them wasting time putting in share paswords and the link over and over.. the share should just be there for them as they work through the day. And if they close the folder/window, then it should be easy to get back to it.
This is possible on windows and I want these mounts to work the same way.
note: my NAS uses smb

That should work. You could try deleting the passwords in Keychain associated with it and try it again.
Another route: Create Applescript:
Select the network drive and get info on it. Copy the server address. Open up Applescript Editor in the Utilities folder and create a new script. Type in mount volume, add space, "paste server address within quotations", and save as application to your documents. Run it from within applescript editor to verify it works. When it asks for a passwork, save it in Keychain.
Under system preferences/accounts/login items, click the + sign to add and select the saved application.

Network shares adding aliases Q

I often log into 2 other mac's and one windows PC to access shared drives/directories.
Is there an easier way to get to these directories without having to choose> Go/connect to server/browse/network/my network share/login, then select the shared network in finder (?)
Some sort of alias to go straight to the login window and have finder then open the shared directory automatically would be great.
Thanks.

If you save your credentials in the Keychain, then you can make aliases out of your mounted volumes.
When you reboot the aliases will still be there, double-click and they open right up without asking for anything.
Don't like seeing the aliases and the mounted volumes? Go to the finder preferences and turn off "Connected Servers".

How to disable Versions for network shares?

AFP share points with network shares works great, but Versions will lock a file that one user saves, and wont allow another user to overwrite the file because of it. Is there a way to disable Versions for networked files?

Or perhaps even just disable file locking? Lion Server will work great for my organization, but only if I can allow more than one person open and save a file!
