Accessing files across partitions.

Hey all,
I was just wondering: If you're using boot camp to run two OSs, would you be able to access files saved in one OS from the other OS? If I save a Word document in the OS X, can it be accessed in Windows 7?
Looking into computers and just wasn't sure. Thanks!

Mac OS X can read an NTFS partition but can't write to it unless third-party software is installed.
Windows can't read or write Mac partitions natively; the Boot Camp drivers provide read access, but third-party software is needed to write to them.
A FAT32/MS-DOS partition can be read and written natively by both OSes, but can't be used to boot Windows Vista or Windows 7.
You also need to have an application installed which can open documents of that type.

Accessing files across clusters

I wasn't sure if this would go here or in the Off-Topic, so I flipped a coin.
Background: My workplace has an EVAL environment and a PROD environment which are basically off-limits to developers. These are unix boxes which have weblogic servers in a cluster. Logical or Physical, I am not sure. We developers of applications don't even have access to the logs etc. This is a major pain in the ass since the snotty-assed unix admins require a "upper level clearance" before they can hand us log files. Jeez !
Possible Solution: An idea that me and a fellow developer has suggested to our bosses, is to have a link in all of our apps called "View Logs" which will be accessible only to developers of the said app. Our bosses have told us that if we can do something like this, they would push the required buttons to get us access to the log files of individual apps so that we can display it in the app itself or allow them to download it.
The solution seems easy enough to implement on a single instance of a server. You get access to the logs and just display the last 200 odd lines on a html page or give them the option of downloading the entire file. However, because our servers are in a cluster, if any error has occurred on server2, and if the developer logs on server1, he will never be able to see the same log file. And because of sticky sessions, refresh of the page is not going to connect him to the other server either.
So I wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with something like this. How can one access files across a different server on the same cluster? I will have to check any solutions that you guys provide, to make sure if it passes company security policies etc.etc. So any other solutions (totally unrelated to the above) are welcome too.
Thanks

Wow, cool. There is no knowledge about cluster on my side. However, speaking of several hosts connected in one network, yes.
AFAIK, several nodes in the cluster would be accessible via a unique NIC and thus IP. Maybe you can setup the solution you mentioned on every node / virtual node? You can probably have a script solution to pull from every node and grep for the interessting lines.

Slow Accessing Files Across a Windows 2003 Server Network

I posted this quite some time ago in the Os X Forum:
Hi,
We get the spinning ball when we access files across a Windows 2003 network with our Os 10.3.9 Macs.
It seems that the more files there are in the folder, the longer you see the ball, our Fonts folder can sometimes take up to 2 minutes before you can scroll to the bottom of the folder.
This happens after a computer restart or a program restart.
Does anyone know of a fix for this issue, as it is quite annoying?
Also note: This does not happen when accessing the same files through Os9 classic, even though the machines are running 10.3.9.
The network is all new cat 5 cables and this a relatively new Dell Power Connect 3324 switch connected to a very fast Dell Poweredge 2600 server.
Thanks in advance,
David

I'm also running several Macs on a Windows Small Business Server (Windows Server 2003) and the only way I am able to pull up the files was to join each one of my Macs to the Windows Server's network domain. You have to do this through the Directory Utility in the Utilities folder. There is one draw back from what I can tell, and it's something that I need some help with. It seems that once a Mac (running Leopard) is joined to a Windows domain, it takes the log in process forever to finish. Logging into a Leopard Mac alone is pretty quick, but after joining the domain, logging into any of the Macs on the Windows domain takes over a minute. If anyone knows the answer to this one, I'm all ears.

Sharing/accessing files between laptop and imac

i want to make it so i have a "server" type thing where i can access files either from my laptop or imac but im at a loss figuring out how to do it and if i need an actual server hard drive thing.
any ideas?
is it possible to make a portion of my hard drive on my imac available to access files across my airport? maybe by just purchasing Mac OS X Server? whats the best way of achieving this? cheapest too!
could i get an external harddrive and act/use as if its the server?

There are quite a few options available to you with varying degrees of speed and integration.
Assuming that you take your PowerBook home
1) Buy a FireWire cable and boot your PowerBook into Target Disk Mode. This makes your PowerBook act like a hard disk on your desktop. This is by far the simplest and quickest solution.
2) Use networking/file sharing via either ethernet, Firewire or wireless.
3) Create a new user account on your desktop and set it to use your PowerBook home directory as its home directory. For this solution you're going to need to start your PowerBook in Target Disk Mode and be able to modify the new account under the root account to point it to your PowerBook's home directory. This is by far the most integrated solution as you will actually be using the same home directory on both computers though it is by far the most difficult to set up.
Assuming that you DON'T take your PowerBook home
1) Use a USB2 flash drive. My father does this for each of his clients that requires him to work at their offices (on PCs) and this works extremely well for him. This is a really cheap and simple solution but does mean that you can't be moving around huge amounts of data as you're limited by the small size of flash drives.
2) Buy yourself a portable FireWire hard drive to use on both computers. By the way, an iPod will work though won't be as quick due to its smaller and slower 1.8" drive.
3) Doing what you're doing now.

Cant access files from Mavericks Partition

I have OS X Lion and Mavericks installed on the one SSD of my MBP. I want to access my music, pictures, movies and so fourth from my Mavericks Partition on my Lion one. But whenever I goto the Mavericks partition folder there are all these small stop signs on each folder, denying me access. I have tried right clicking and going to share and allowing all users access. But this doesn't work. And suggestions on how I can access the data on both OSs??

Generally, that's what you see when accessing files stored under a different User name. Are you using the same User name for both partitions? I always use the same user name for different OS X partitions.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

Sync files across the Managed Server.

We have exploded war deployed in the Weblogic Cluster and in this there is a feature which would create a zip file in the exploded folder and this zip file will be downloaded through the URL. Now the problem in clustered environment is when the application write the zip file which will be available in only one of the managed server and when we try to download the zip file through the LoadBalancer URL it may not hit the same Managed Server in which the zip file is available.
Is there a way in weblogic cluster to sync the files across all the managed server so that we can access the file through loadbalancer.

Hi Suresh
1. Your issue has nothing to do with the cluster setup and the way you deploy the application (as EAR or Exploded). Basically in your application, you generate a file and automatically that gets stored in that machines location. Now when you access it from a load balancer, the request may go to other machine and naturally it will not find the file there. There is nothing in the cluster setup or something that can copy the files and replicate acorss the machines. Infact that will be way too complex. I will couple of solutions.
2. Create a shared folder like public folder. Say in Windows, create a folder with some folder structure and map it as say X: Drive. now this X Drive can be accessed from any other machine like Machine1, Machine2 (after setting the sharing properties). First try directly from Windows Explorer itself. Now within your application, when you generate and store the file, refer this X: Drive with full path. You can make it more flexible by using a .properties file that has key value pair. Key is like FILE_LOCATION and value can be like X:\a\b\c. Now using simple Java Properties class API to load the contents from this file. You can add all the constants, check for if .properties file exist like that. Once you have all the properties loaded, then refer this key, to get its value and use that to store the file generated. Use the same approach, while retrieving the file also. Use the key to get the location and then look for the file you want to download. This should work, when the request goes to any managed server in the cluster. I used it. I created a utility class like MyAppPropertiesLoader, with some static methods, that reads the file only once, if it is null, and then get values using simle methods like getString(String aKey), getLong(String aKey) etc. The huge BENEFIT of this is, once you deploy the application say in Unix, natually, the shared location has to be one of the unix boxes. Then just mount this location on both the managed servers (mount is similar to mapping a drive in Windows OS). Also the location of the files can be changed anytime in the properties file. Say in QC, the location may be X:\a\b\c\qc. But for UAT on Unix it can be like /x/y/z/uat/. Now this .properties file can exist directly under the Domain root folder so you can access it directly without any path in your java code. You can also use System properties like user.home etc. Make sure to copy this .properties file on both the domains. The original master domain. And the psueduo domain that is generated when you run the unpack command if you have managed server in another machine.
3. This is much simpler but kind of not recommended. Simply, create a simple table with few header columns and one BLOB/CLOB column. Store the file in this database table and retrieve from it. This means you will have JDBC code, and the code to create clob to store and generate file from clob for retrieval.
My preference is the first option given above. Getting tools to copy files may be complex. Its not like syncing the data across but its the files that needs to be copied across the machines.

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

Can windows access files be viewed on a mac

Hi
Can a Microsoft access file created on a windows pc be opened with a macbook pro, if not what can be done to copy the data across to a mac os x 10.6.2 system
Thanks
Frank

Asking about an Access feature in a forum dedicated to Numbers '09 isn't the more efficient way to get a responce.
It would be better to ask on an Access dedicated forum or to look in Access to which formats it is able to export the datas. Maybe one of them is recognised by an application available in AppleLand.
4th dimension is able to import :
Vous pouvez importer des données à partir de fichiers au format XML,
4e Dimension, SYLK, DIFF, DBF, Texte ou Texte longueur fixe.
FileMaker is able to import
Alas, I have no infos about formats to which Access is able to export.

Boot Camp access to mac partition

Hi.
I have Windows 7 Pro on Boot Camp, which is also on a server 2003 domain. When the windows network users log in, they can access the Mac Partition. How do I prevent this from happening?
I know it is read only, but I prefer to have them access only the Windows partition when logged into Windows, and only have them access the Mac partition, when they are logged into Snow Leopard.
Thank you!

Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
You can probably do better with MacDrive8.

Actually, this makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
First, a little about pointers. As most of you probably know, a pointer is
simply a variable (usually a long, in C++) that holds a memory address
where the actual data that you are interested resides. In other words, the
pointer "points" to the memory location of the data.
Imagine an application running on some networked computer (call it "Machine
A"). This application has a partition (call it "Partition 1") that is
using some data stored in memory location 123456. In Partition 1, a
pointer variable ("P") has the value "123456", thus P "points" to the data.
Now lets pass P to another partition ("Partition 2") running on another
computer (call this "Machine B"). Remember, P really only contains the
value "123456". When it is accessed by the code in Partition 2, the
application would actually be looking for data in memory location 123456
***on Machine B***! Clearly, this is a violation and would cause all kinds
of problems.
In this respect, Forte doesn't differentiate between partitions running on
different computers vs. partitions running on the same computer, so it
raises an exception whenever a program tries to pass pointers across any
partition boundries.
Passing objects is different, however. Most of you know that Forte uses
what is called "copy semantics" when passing objects across partition
boundries. This means that, while to the developer it may appear that an
object received from a remote partition is the "same" object as the one
that was passed by that remote partition, it is actually a copy - a
physically different object containing all of the same state information as
the original object. Thus, the "address" of an object doesn't really come
into play across partition boundries.
I'm not going to take the time to explain here how anchored objects work,
but they are really object-based, not pointer-based, as well.
Viola! Mr. Ghorakavi's rule of thumb explained!

Maybe, just maybe, you can use gparted to move the excess space in your new partition which is above your existing partition size after first identifying it as swap. Then move it to the end of the drive, leaving space for a new partition which is the same size as your existing partition.
That, maybe, will accept the dd transfer since the partition size is identical. After all is done, delete the swap.
I hope I made sense.....

Can't access to Fat Partition - Mount problem

Dear all
A few months ago I used disk utility and perform a partition. The idea was 3 partitions, 1 for mac (Journaled), 1 for bootcamp (NTFS) and 1 for transfer between the OSs (FAT).
And it worked OK, I can use mac when I want and Windows too, I put the files in the fat partition and read/write without any problem in the 2 OSs.
So, the fat partition for a lot of months worked OK, and almost all my files were saved in that partition, but last week I was copying too many gigas to the fat partition and I checked that fat partition was almost full. I thought well, usually mac tells you that is not enough space and you cannot copy more files, but IT DIDN'T DO IT and allow to copy and copy and copy. Well I continued working, later I turn off my computer (no close the lid) and at the next day when I turned on and started in MAC the partition doesn't appear. OMG!!!..... I entered to the disk utility and went to "Fisrt Aid", performed Verify, and Repair and it doesn't work.
It says.... bla bla bla,,, can`t repair, Back Up.... But How to Backup if there is not the option to access to the partition. In windows it says format?,, Of course not!
I tried to contact Mac support (I still have warranty, until April 16), but no solution was given.
I know that information is there, but I don't know how to recover and mount again the partition, because I have not formatted the partition. I have read a lot but before perform any action I would like to consult with you. I don't want to use apps that look for file to file, I just want to open my fat partition, find my organised folders and save the information in other place.
My info:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (13, Mid 2012)
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Storage: 1 TB
Fat partition: disk0s4 (Capacity 199.86 GB (199,860,682,752 Bytes))
Please, Can you help me?
Attached an image!!!
Thank you in advance!!!
Note: Sorry if I put in the wrong Category this post.

Hi!!
Well, after reading and trying to find the solution by mac, it was found in Windows.
MMM, well Attached the solution
So, let's to save the information!!!!!!
See You!!!

Lost access file to external volume

After a recent cleanup (which obviously was a little too "thorough") I tried to mount my Time Capsule (which is partitioned for both Time Machine and manual backup), and received this message:
This Data file is just an alias and the original cannot be found. Even so, I can still access Time Machine so it seems that it is only this access file (or whatever you call it) that´s lost.
Now, since I´m not a Mac expert I can´t figure out how to go back and fix this; as external volumes are not backed up by Time Machine I don´t really have a backup. I could try to reset the entire hard drive to a week ago, but would really like to avoid that, as I´ve done a lot of work since then.
I believe what happened was that I used MacKeeper´s function "Disk usage" and revealed that the folder "Volumes" spent a whole lot of disk space on my MBP. Being completely braindead at the time, I figured that this had nothing to do with what was actually stored on the external drive (as that shouldn´t take up space on the MBP), and so I deleted the folder "Data" through MacKeeper. As that file went missing I´m now denied access to my manual backup on the TC, and appreciate any advise. Thanks
