Can't write to network shared drive from PC

I have been using a network drive shared via samba for almost a year.  The drive is shared from a PC and it is a ntfs fromatted drive.  I have never had a problem writing to the drive before.  Today, I did a fresh install of Win7 and all of a sudden I can't write to the drive any more.  I have windows sharing the drive with all permissions enabled.  I know I am missing something, but I don't know what.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I made a mistake.  When I enabled permissins to read/write on Win7, I must have forgotten to "apply" and save, because I just checked the settigns and permissions were not what I thought they were.  I went back through, hit apply and then saved the settings and everything works as it should.

  • Can't save to internal shared drive from Photoshop

    I have a mac that has 2 internal drives. One drive is where I keep all projects. That drive is shard so that I can access it from my laptop and other computer. This is how it's been set up for almost a year. Within the past 2 months I've begun to have an issue saving out of Photoshop to that shared drive. It gives me an error every time.
    I am able to save out of any other program to that drive. And I'm able to save out of Photoshop onto the other drive on my computer that isn't shared.
    Any ideas what the issue could be?
    THanks.

    Hi Looking4Answer
    I wonder if this is related to the bug that occurs with volume names and paths?
    is your other computer a Mac or PC?
    does the problem occur when both are connected to the network or just with the one computer?
    anything special about the shared drive setup?
    is the shared volume name one of the system folder names... applications, users etc?
    regards

  • Copying files from Mac to PC network shared drives.

    Copying files from Mac to PC network shared drives.
    We have shared mounted drives in AIX Fusion that we can pull files from and copy to the mac, however we can not copy files from the mac to the drives.
    “Error in user parameter list (-50)” With MS DOS-Formatted Volume.”
    The drives are mapped on the mac using SMB. We can go to the files on the mac and use “save as” and this works and saves them on the shared drives.
    We can not drag and copy them to the shared drives. Every time it fails and we get the above error. We can create folders but not move any files.
    When we look up the error, it is referring to certain characters that can but used in a Max OS X filename and are not allowed in MS-DOS filenames. We are not using any of the characters not allowed.
    The drives have all the basic set up in AIX, RWC. All the PC's we have can drag files to and from all our shared drives.

    Either install software which enables the Mac to write to NTFS drives, or MacDrive on the PC, or reformat any drives you'll be using to share files between the computers as either FAT32 or exFAT.

  • Is it possible to access a single Lightroom catalogue mounted on a shared drive from multiple computers, each with an individual Lightroom install?

    Is it possible to access a single Lightroom catalogue mounted on a shared drive from multiple computers, each with an individual Lightroom install?
    Thanks.

    No, Lightroom catalogs cannot be on a networked (shared) drive, and they do not support simultaneous multi-user access

  • Possible to locate Event & Project Libraries on Network Shared Drives?

    My iMovie is running on a Mac Mini.. but I have all my media (iTunes, iPhoto, wish to have iMovie too) stored on large drives attached to a G5 via eSATA and shared on the network over Gigabit Ethernet.
    The drives on the G5 show up on iMovie Event Library but not on Project Library.. cannot drag any events into the shared drives from within iMovie (have little yellow triangle with exclamations on them)
    The internal drive and any USB drives directly attached to the Mac Mini do allow dragging to though.
    is this the limitation.. are the only drives the eligible to locate Event and Project Libraries internal and drives directly attached to the computer running iMovies? That would be a shame.. the eSATA drive shared over GigE have a much higher transfer rate than any USB 2.0 drives that are attached to my Mac Mini..
    any help will be appreciated..

    Got my answer..
    NOTE: To use an external hard disk with iMovie, it must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). *iMovie doesn’t support network-attached storage* or external flash memory drives.

  • Network shared drive hang

    My office use a file server that host network shared drive (mapped on all workstation). The server OS is Windows Server 2008 SP 2, and all clients on Windows 7.
    For the past 6 months the network shared drive sometimes hang, but lately becoming more and more frequent.
    I cant really put my finger on it, as I checked on the server Event viewer, I can't really find anything related (or it could be I missed it).
    I notice many users work online with their office documents (excel, words), they open and save directly to the shared drive, is this also contribute to the shared drive hang?
    Help! thanks

    Hi,
    you should check using resourece monitor and perfmon whether you are running into resource depletion issues.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.08.pulse.aspx
    Office documents surely use resources, but a far more common culprit is storing outlook .pst and . ost files on a networkdrive. Aside for being not supported, it is a real fileserver killer. You will have events in system event log indicating issues in such
    case.
    Especially look for events regarding Srv, SMB, MrxSMB or the server service as all are closely related to fileshares.
    Also pretty common, is antivirus doing realtime scan both server as client side, possibly combined with some other filter drivers. (like described in:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822219
    there is a nice guide 'performance tuning for fileservers'  on Microsoft download.i recommend you take a look.
    MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP
    ok, I will try to monitor those points you recommended. Thank you.

    You want system, data, backup etc. Make good use of the four internal drive bays.
    You will have to use Disk Utility to ERASE or click on drive and use PARTITION to make it Mac writeable.

  • Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted.  Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file?  Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

    Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted.  Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file?  Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again?  My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract.  I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

    HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
    If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
    If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X  Mavericks.app"; see this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
    Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

  • I can read but I can't write to an external drive - changing permissions

    I can read but I can't write to an external drive. 
    How do I change permissions? None of the helps here on the discussions have helped.
    Why would a computer company let me read files but not write? Hahaha. This is insane.
    I have to write computer files for work. It's a project due this morning.
    Man, I'm going to have to go back to PC.
    Just need the compter to write files.

    If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired.
    If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it.
    If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

           It's easy, but not that easy.  You need to copy all the info from the drive currently in the mac to the new  one before you install the new SSD.  You can do          this by downloading cloning software (I use CarbonCopyCloner because it's free)
    Not to be picky but CCC is donationware, if you use it because of its quality you should send a little bit of money in appreciation, and as a bonus you get to turn the banner off.
