AirPort Disk Access Existing files when changing Secure Shared Disks with Accounts

Hey, community;
I have a 1TB Disk which I was using on my Mac, then upon aquisition of an AirPort Extreme Base Station, plugged it into there. File sharing was fine when set to "AirPort Password" for Security settings, but when I changed to "Accounts" and set up accounts, the existing paritions were there... they just couldn't be accessed.
Tried finding the solution online, to no avail.
Just writing to say I've solved this! Once you set the Security type to "Accounts," folders now appear on your USB Drive, one for each user you set up, as well as a "Shared" folder.
I just dumped the existing contents of the drive into the "Shared" folder, and now everyone can access those original files.
I hope this helps someone out.

Restore the old files by removing the accounts.. ie press and hold reset.. once you go back to a reset all files are available again anyway so the security is illusionary.
If you want to secure files encrypt them.
BTW the old airport utility would have warned you that what you were doing will stop access to your files.
Of course the latest toyland utility probably showed you nothing.
Never start accounts with files on the TC.. you should offload them.. create accounts then load them back.. to the illusion of security at least.

Leopard and Airport Disk with accounts

Question:
Has anyone have the latest firmware update on the AEBS-N and with Leopard OS with Airport Disk accounts working?
If you have downgrade firmware on AEBS-N with Airport disk set up with accounts how are you making it work?
At this time I am only getting my hard drive and not accounts showing on left sidebar.
The only way I been able to change accounts if I do a manual "connect to server" (alt-K). First I eject the shared drive on the left sidebar. Then click Alt and K key at the same time and typed in one of my accounts and password in. There must be a better way.

I have done that, but my problem is not that I cannot see my connected drive it is when I create accounts it still only shows the shared folder on that connected drive. So, I created two password protected accounts "A" and "B" and then there is a shared folder. Now prior to leopard when I was connected I would be able to see the shared folder and my respective folder, "A". Now when I connect I only see the share drive. This is a problem because I have two users in my household and I want to back information to each respective accounts/password protected folders but that is not happening because all we see is the shared folder.
What I saw prior on my drive connected to AEBS. A "SHARED" folder, "USERS" folder which contained the separate folders/accounts created through AEBS.
Now all I see is the "SHARED" folder.

Missing header files when importing a shared library with labview 8.6?

Hi all,
I want to import a .dll into my .vi program but I am not able to do it...
I have created the dll following the ni website tutorial
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3303#toc2
Once the dll has been created, I have tried to import it with
Tools-Import-Shared Library(dll)
After parsing the header file appears an error like this one:
void __cdecl Zdmt(LVBoolean *stop, double P, char channelName[],
    TD1 *errorIn, TD14 *FFTOptions, TD12 *Calibration, char FileName[],
    int32_t minRecordLength, TD26 *InstrumentHandler, LVRefNum sessionRefArray[],
    LVRefNum *queueIN, TD1 *errorOut, LVBoolean *averagingDone,
    HWAVES LastRecordFetched, TD24 *Impedance, TD17 *ColeColeCluster,
    TD18 *FFTcluster, TD5 *InstrumentHandleOutputCluster, LVRefNum *queueOut,
    int32_t *Acquired, TD6 *FreqTimeInfoCluster, double *averagesCompleted,
    int32_t len);
The following symbols are not defined:
LVBoolean; int32_t; LVRefNum;
Undefined symbols can prevent the wizard from recognizing functions and parameters. To correct this problem, check the header file to determine if you must add predefined symbols. Click the Back button to return to the previous page of the wizard to add a preprocessor definitionsl (for example, "NIAPI_stdcall = __stdcall" or "NIAPIDefined = 1").
The following header file was not found in the specified header file or one of the referenced header files:
- extcode.h
To fix, click the Back button to go to the previous page and add the header file path to the Include Paths list.
I have replaced the first line #include "extcode.h" of the dll header file for #include "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\cintools\extcode.h" that is the full path where the header file is located. However, new libraries seems to be missed:
- stdint.h
- MacTypes.h
Does anybody know what I have to do??
Any help will be really appreciated,
Regards,
Benjamin

If you use any of the LabVIEW cintools headers, they reference other headers too. The import wizard is written in a way that it simply skips parsing datatypes that can not be resolved due to missing header files. If your functions you want to import references such datatypes then you get an according error about any include files the wizard could not load, otherwise not. The wizard can not know which of the missing header files is the problem since it obviously doesn't know what would be in those header files.
The LabVIEW cintools headers are multiplatform, meaning they evaluate various compiler predefined defines to determine which platform they are included in. The import library wizard does not define any specific defines, since it is not really a compiler. So you have to define them. And they get adapted with each new LabVIEW version to support new compilers and compiler versions, so the defines described in the link in the first post do not have to be correct for cintools headers in newer LabVIEW versions.
All in all writing DLLs that interface to LabVIEW cintools headers should not be done by writing them and then importing them using the wizard but instead you should write the VI and create the Call Library Node, then let LabVIEW create a template C file from the context menu of the Call Library Node and copy that into your C sources and fill in the functions from there.

How does iTunes use or access existing files?

how does iTunes use or access existing files? My existing windows music folder is about 2GB in size. When moving to iTunes, will iTunes just access those existing files or will it make an actual copy of all the songs? Thanks!

Time Capsule: Files lost after Secure Shared Disk: with accounts

I Changed the Disks: Secure Shared Disk option to 'with accounts' on my Time Capsule and now all files are invisible. It looks the files must be still on the disks because of the amount of free/used bytes used that is displayed.
How can I restore the 'old' files?

Restore the old files by removing the accounts.. ie press and hold reset.. once you go back to a reset all files are available again anyway so the security is illusionary.

Changed to "Securing shared disk: with accounts" and lost previous data?

I installed a TC in July and have been doing Time Machine backups to it ever since. Today, I decided to add File Sharing accounts using the Airport Utility. I created two accounts. The next time Time Machine ran, it failed on login. I reconfigured it to use one of the two new accounts, and (not surprisingly, in retrospect) it began a complete, new backup.
The Finder tells me that 150GB of the TC disk is already in use. I hope that's the space used by my former backups... but how do I find them? Whenever I try and open the TC in the Finder, I'm prompted for one of the new account/passwords, neither of which allows me to view any of the former data.
Is it possible to access data that was written to the TC disk prior to my switching to account-controlled file sharing?

Actually, it turns out it was still there and accessible. I went back to Airport Utility and switched "Securing shared disk" back to using a disk password, as before, and there was the "full" disk . . . containing my original sparseimage file, as well as a new Users folder and a Shared folder. The latter contained the sparseimage file from the new backup.
I hope that I can replace the new sparseimage file (in /Shared) with the original one (in /), and switch back to using accounts to control access to the TC disk.

Disable "Overwrite existing files" when upload doument

Dear team,
in document library, when upload document, i don't want the document to overwrite the documents with the same name.
there is chekbox in upload page, that is default checked, I searched and some people said that I can update the upload page, find the checkbox control, and set the value to false, so i update the value in Upload.aspx and Uploadex.aspx page to change the
value.
but after changing the value, I cannnot open the upload page successfully, it always shows error.
Did I do anything wrong?

Hi Greetings.
This is not the right procedure
Scording to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override SharePoint OOTB Upload.aspx default for " Overwrite existing files" checkbox.
We can use the AdditionalPageHead delegate control to change the default without modifying upload.aspx.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the WSS3.0, it still works for SharePoint 2013: Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
Please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form here
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Run the command: add-spsolution c:\ DefaultUploadOverwriteOff.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the site, clilck Site settings-> Site collection features-> Default Upload Overwrite Off->Active.
Open the library, the 'overwrite existing files' checkbox will be unchecked.

Overwrite previous existing file when saving...

I'm running Snow Leopard. I can't for the life of me find a way to "overwrite" an existing file - either when I drag the updated file into the Finder window, OR when I save to a particular folder. I am used to Windows, where you get a prompt saying "a file by this name already exists, do you want to replace the file or rename?"....or some such thing. How do I do this in OSX - I'm sick of files just automatically saving with a new extenmsion in the name, like: "file#1.pdf" or some such thing.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

What you want is what should be happening. The options are these:
1. Open a file; modify it and hit command-s or choose 'Save' from the File menu: the amended file overwrites the original.
2. Open a file; modify it and hit 'Save as' - leave the filename unchanged: you will get this warning:
3. Open a file, modify it and hit 'Save as' - leave the filename unchanged but save it somewhere else. Then drag it to the original location and you will get this warning:
If this is not what is happening then you have a fault condition. It may be that the file's permissions have been incorrectly set. Select the file, hit command-i and scroll down to 'Sharing and permissions' and check that you have been set to read and write. You could also boot from your install disk - don't start an install, but choose 'Disk Utility' from the 'Utilities' menu and run a Disk Repair.

New download of keynote files when changing wifi network with iPad

When i change the Wifi Network with my ipad3 (without 3G) it always starts to download the keynote, numbers and pages files from the iCloud. You can't open any file until its downloaded again, you just see the Folder and the file as a placeholder.
In my opinion this Akers totally no sense. I expect a synchronization between iPad and the iCloud like it woks with mail, kalender. Even dropbox just downloads the file you select for use. In my case I have 64 files only in keynote, created on the iPad and eaven without changing something it will re download all files from the iCloud before I can use them.
Anybodydid the same experience ?
Is this a bug or a really shh.... Feature?

No that's not my experience, it's clearly not working as it should. Perhaps you should restore your iPad.

Can Acrobat Standard append to an existing file when saving? Can Pro?

Hello all,
I'm wondering if Adobe Acrobat Standard has the function to save to an existing file. I don't mean append two PDF's together after they are already created. I mean I already have a PDF document which I need to add lots of additional pages to. So when creating additional PDF's, I want to be able to tell Acrobat to add those files to the end of the document I already have.
PrimoPDF has this feature which would be a real time-saver in my line of business. In that program, you simply choose the same filename when asked to save the document. It then prompts you to overwrite or append-to the existing file. For business reasons, it would be very advantageous to use Acrobat rather than Primo. Does anyone know if Acrobat Standard can do this? If not, does Pro do it? Thanks for your time. I appreciate any feedback I get.
Chris

Never tried that... you might read in the Acrobat Pro User Guide Online

Accessing Airport Disk with OS 9

Does anyone know how I can access a network airport disk using OS 9?

You can't. To access the drive you need Mac OS X v10.4.8 or later.

Airport Disk with Bonjour

I have a Western Digital "MyBook" Tb drive that I used to have connected on my AirPort Extreme. I have a MacPro as well as 2 PC's that were sharing this MyBook disk just fine using Bonjour. The Bonjour app used AirPort Disks to automatically "offer" the disk as a resource when the computer restarts, or whenever it becomes available. I was sharing using accounts. i.e. the username and password had to be entered to access the shared resource.
Recently, the MyBook began to disconnect from the Bonjour for no apparent reason. I would log the disk back on and connectivity would be there, but then it would just disconnect again after 10 minutes or so.
So I connected the MyBook directly to the MacPro using firewire and just used the 'Sharing' utility and now access my files "\\MacPro\MyBook".
It doesn't disconnect anymore.
But I do notice a file write delay every once in awhile.
Can someone tell me which method is preferred and what pieces need to be ironed out for most efficiency?

Does the new Airport Express N (I acquired one recently) have Airport Disk functionality? I tried to connect an external USB hard drive to my Airport Express but nothing shows up within Airport Utility.
Sorry, but no. The new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), like its predecessor, will only support a single USB printer on its USB port.

Help! I renamed an existing file in Reader (Mobile) to begin with "." and it disappeared. Unable to search for it. How can I recover it? [iOS]

I was attempting to organize my files in Reader (on iPad) and I tried renaming an existing file to begin with "." in an attempt to put it at the top of my list, so that I could easily find it. It completely diappeared and if I search for it, it doesn't appear. Help!!!

Hi,
A file or folder name starting with '.' ("dot" or "period") is considered hidden on most operating systems. By naming a file starting with '.', you accidentally hid the file and made it inaccessible to all iOS apps.
I'd highly recommend using '_' ("underscore") in the future.
We have already made the change to the new Acrobat DC for iOS app (version 15.0.x) so that it disallows the rename operation with '.' as the first character. (I assume that you are using Adobe Reader for iOS on iOS 7 or older iOS version.)
To recover your hidden file, you need to use a Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer, install a File Manager app (e.g. iExplorer free demo version, iFunBox), connect your iPad, browse the file system on your iPad, and rename the file back to something else (so that it becomes "visible" again).
The exact steps vary depending on the File Manager app you choose. You may be able to find How-To videos on the software manufacturer's web site or YouTube.
Don't worry. Your hidden file is not permanently lost. You just need to recover it. Good luck!

Unable to share files when in a IM convo with multiple people Lync 2013

Hello,
I'm in the middle of a migration from lync server 2010 to lync server 2013. The users I have migrated over to lync 2013 are not able to send/share attachments when in a convo with multiple people.
However, users can send/share files when IM'ing with individual people.
I've been researching this issue for quite some time but still having a problem pinpointing the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did the issue also happen between users who still in Lync server 2010 pool?
Did the issue happen internal or external?
Please double check if MCU on Lync 2013 FE server works well, when two participants are connected, the session is essentially peer-to-peer. When three or more participants are connected, the Sharing feature depends on the Front End Server Multi Point Control
Unit (MCU) to provide the sharing stream to all parties.

How to access a file in the network shared drive

Hi,
I have a pdf file in a netwoek share drive which opeates on windows platform. I want to access this file. the path to the file looks something like this
acddfd\sap\sapdir\myfile.pdf
I have tried gui_upload , gui_download , ws_upload and ws_download FM. But I am getting file_read error. Is therey any settings i need to made.
I can access the above path from windows menu start->run.
points guarnateed.
Thanks
sankar

GUI_UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD is the way to go. If you can access the directory/file that doesn't mean necessarily that the R/3 system can 'see' it as well. Your local frontend is connected to that share, but I would check with your basis that the application servers where R/3 is running do have access to that share as well.
Also does the R/3 user you are using have the same access right to the network as your Windows Network user?
We had a similar problem and eventually it was just an authorization issue with the R/3 user.
Hope that helps,
Michael
