Cannot see Network drives via my router on iMac

I just purchased a new iMac today, set everything up and find that my 2 network drives that are connectd to my BT buiness hub 3 router are not showing in finder and I cannot remember what to do. I have a time capsule as well as a WD Network drive.
They both show on my old iMac (Early 2011) but on my new on they are not in my finder window?
Any help appreciated.

Photoshop CC (2014) cannot see network drives

I work on a PC running Windows 8.1 x64. Ever since the a Photoshop CC (2014) update a couple of months ago, my network drives are not directly accessible. I have two network drives, mapped as drives X: and Y:. If I work in Lightroom on a file that resides on my network drives and send it to Photoshop for further work, the file will not open in Photoshop. Additionally, I cannot drag-and-drop a file from Windows Explorer into Photoshop (from any drive). I get the circle with the slash through it showing it can't be done. And finally, Bridge, when I'm working in Photoshop CC (2014) cannot open a network drive image in Photoshop.If it is launched after Photoshop, it does not show the network drives. If it is launched before Photoshop, it shows the mapped drives, as I stated before, can't open a file into Photoshop.
Now for the mind blower. NONE of these things are an issue if I run the "older" Photoshop CC (i.e. - NOT the 2014), which fortunately, I still have on my system.
Thoughts or help? Thank you.

Are you able to see the shared folder on the router ? If yes then, Once the set-up page appear, click Storage > Media Server and Enable the UPnP Media Server. Specify Folder to Scan button lets you select content to add to the database of the Router's Media Server. Once you click this button the Media Folder screen appears.Now Check the option Auto-scan click on Scan All and Click on Save Settings.
Now, On your computer go to My Network Places and you will able to see the shared files and folders.

Cannot see network drives

I just installed a wireless-n router (WRT610N) and wireless Adapters (WMP600N). I can access the internet from all computers, but cannot see shared files or print from any computer. I've run the home network set up wizard and tried many things, but nothing works.
When I connected with Linksys online chat, I was told that I had to reformat all of my hard drives to fat32 (mine are all running NTFS). I can't believe this is true.
Is there any way I can see shared folders and drives with this hardware configuration? (without reformatting my drives)

MMC cannot see network drives

I have just build several PCs with Windows 8.1 Pro for my team. I have a problem with mmc.exe - it cannot seem to see any network drives. When I try to save a custom console, the dialog box only presents the local drives. If I try to open a saved file from
a network drive, I get an error box saying:
"MMC cannot open the file Z:\test.msc.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient rights to access the file."
If I then move the MSC file to the local disk, it opens correctly.
I can confirm that my NTFS permissions are fine (I can open the MSC file from my Z: drive just fine on my old Windows 7 PC). No matter what I do, though, MMC on the new PCs simply doesn't acknowledge the existence of any network drives. No other programs
have problems with network drives - only MMC. The only thing I could find when searching for the problem was someone reporting the same symptom on Windows 7 after installing the RSAT tools, but there were no answers on that page. The RSAT tools are installed
on my machines, and I have tried uninstalling them, but it made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Iain

I think you are running into a situation due to User Account Control.
As you probablu know, UAC enforces administrators to run as a normal user by default, and 'elevate' to administrative privileges on a per process base. This measn that there are actually two user sessions: the user and the elevated one. each of those can
have it's own mapped network drives.
verify if this is the case by running bot a normal and an elevated command prompt and running
net use to show the mapped drives.
then on how to solve this... this behavior is by design and as expected. you should map your drives twice: once as user and once being elevated.
A possible workaround is to disable UAC, which I would not recommend as UAC is an important security boundary

Cannot connect network drives through network switch

macmini cannot see network drives connected to airport extreme. Network drives are connected through dlink 48 port 1 gig switch.How can
I edit airport extreme to see these drives?

The switch will be unlikely to have anything to do with the problem.. but bypass it and see.. plug a laptop or something directly into the extreme.. do the disks now show up?? If not the Extreme setup is wrong.. if they do and you can transfer files.. something is odd with the switch and you will need to work with dlink to figure if it is blocking some protocol.. Tell us how this test works out.. you can force the mac to use SMB by manually mounting the drive.. No switch is going to block SMB.
Do the external drives show up on the extreme in the airport utility?
Have you turned on file sharing?
Make sure in finder preferences you have enabled network drives.
No go, are the drives formatted correctly.. they must be HFS+ or FAT32 format..
I used to say GUID partitioned but not sure now..

Windows Server R2 stop working. Cannot map network drive with my Win 7 client.

Hi to everyone.
I had a problem for quite some time time and even i tried to solved it till now unfortunately seems unreachable.
I have a 2008 R2 server which is used as SQL 2005 server. My application program shared from the server. My win 7 client use a map network drive to access my share folder from my windows server. Suddenly my clients lost my connection. Since then i
cannot connect to the folder and i got the message
Windows cannot access \\Server\Storage
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Details: Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
I check out my share permissions, all seems ok. I also check out firewall, services, TCP/IP, share folders, really almost everything but still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the problem.

Yes what seems to happened is due to virus infections.
This problem started 2 weeks a go. First i had network connection error with my client. Them my application had respond errors. Finally i lost my network drive.
I realize that the problem was due to virus. My old antivirus program doesn't s scan any threats so i uninstalled it, and i installed Panta antivirus and i clean up my server and my clients from virus. I am sure that both are clean from virus. My antivirus
program runs every day with no traces of infections.
Since then i cannot see my share folders on my server side and i cannot map network drive.
One thing that i want to avoid is re-installation of windows server 2008 R2.
Can anyone help about this
Thanks

Cannot see hard drives on airport extreme

Recently I cannot see hard drives on the network that are connected through Airport Extreme . The airport Extreme can see the drives, but the network cannot. I have not changed any settings that I know of. Only a reset of my macbook pro running Mavericks allows me to gives me access to the drives. Airport utility 6.3.2

+I will check when I get home. How do I do that?+
Connect the drive directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Then open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the drive in left hand panel and look for information at the bottom of the window about the disk
Your drive may be formatted as Windows NFTS. If that's the case, you will need to reformat the drive to work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. Be sure to copy any data that you need to another drive (maybe twice to be sure) before you do this as the reformat will erase all data on the drive.
When you are ready, click the Erase tab and then select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format so both PCs and Macs will be able to read the files.
Then copy a small test file back over to the FAT drive and plug the drive into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Restart everything on your network starting with the modem first, then device attached to the modem, etc.
On you Mac, open Macintosh HD and check to see if your AirPort Extreme icon appears under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. If so, click the icon and folder will appear to the right representing your drive. Double click this folder to reveal the contents and mount the drive on your desktop. You should see your test file. Make sure it is operable..music plays, video works, etc.
Sorry, I haven't used Windows in 3-4 years and cannot remember how to access drives, but I would start with My Computer and start poking around. You want to verify that your PC can access and play the files as well.
If everything is OK,you can copy all your backup files back onto the USB drive attached to the AirPort Extreme. Keep the extra backup copy handy for awhile, just in case as well.

Cannot see disc drive after installing boot camp windows 8

Windows 8 Explorer cannot see NAS drive on WiFi connected laptop

I have several devices on my home network. Windows XP PC's, Windows 7 PC's, Android tablets, and 2 Windows 8 laptops. All the devices can see the harddrive attached to my WiFi router except for one of the Windows 8 laptops and I can't seem to figure
out a solution.
That laptop, compared to all the other devices, connects by a Wireless G adapter vs. Wirless N for everything else, but I don't think that's the problem.
It CAN access the NAS drive through Windows Media Player, however, only media in that case and not documents.
Why can it see the drive through WMP but not Explorer??? ...and what's the fix?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
The laptop has a Windows 8 32-bit upgrade installed.
Windows Explorer shows the Media access for the drive, but not the drive itself.

For a regedit newbie, can you please provide step-by-step details how to: "create a new DWORD entry with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1". Is this a new line to be
inserted? Thanks.
Below is my situation. I posted an earlier version of this query on Microsoft Community and was advised to move to here on Technet.
I am having trouble mapping
and connecting shared drives on my NAS using WiFi. I have three new Acer i5-4th Gen laptops running Windows 8 with Intel 7260-N WiFi cards and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 loaded. My NAS is also new. It is a Zyxel NSA325, replacing a
WD My Book World Edition. The hard drives from two such WD boxes went into the Zyxel. So I do not have another NAS on hand to test. My router is unchanged. It is a Netgear WNDR3700v1 pre-MIMO dual-band N-router.
One of the new Acers is a V7-482PG-6662. The other two laptops are M5-583P-6428 machines. The Acer V7 never had a problem with connections – neither via Ethernet nor via WiFi. Both
M5’s had troubles at first via WiFi. Then I got one to work. But the second Acer M5 stubbornly only connects reliably via Ethernet; the NAS only shows reliably under Network on File Manager when using Ethernet. Maybe one in five times that I reboot with WiFi,
can I see the NAS under Network on File Manager.
I also have an old Dell Win-7 Ultimate desktop. It has no problems connecting via shared drives to the NAS via WiFi. I also have an old WD TV-Live Plus attached via Ethernet that accesses
the NAS via Media Server, not via Network Shares. All PCs plus a Samsung Android Tablet can see / access the NAS reliably as a media server over WiFi.
I went through many, many recommendations from the internet, trying to fix the WiFi problem for the Acer M5s. For example:
Turn on various or all Advanced Network Sharing options, e.g., Discovery and File Sharing
Make sure that Client for Microsoft Networks is on
Set up and reset Windows Credentials for users
Enter net config server /autodisconnect:-1 as admin
Make sure that Network List Service is started on automatic (as well as not on)
Tried using Net Use commands to map the drive, but got error message 53s
Updated WiFi card drivers
Multiple cycles of closing down all network advanced sharing settings, then uninstalling and reinstalling network adapters via device manager, then opening up all network advanced sharing settings (as described
in the technet item: fix-for-cannot-access-nas-drives-sharefolder-is-not-accessible-or-error-code-0x80070035 ).
Various cycles and sequences of rebooting and leaving machines on with the hope that they would connect.
I have not tried any of the advice about reg editing or setting different MTU values. Most of such advice online dates from 2009. And it was not needed to get the one Acer M5 machine
working.
After cycling through the items above, the one Acer M5 started listing the NAS occasionally under Network in File Manager. At first this only happened in like 1 in 20 reboots. But
I started getting luckier. And after one round of closing down shares and reinstalling adapters, it started to work reliably. And has kept working ever since.
I now have the second Acer M5 connecting via WiFi in about one in five reboots. But this is not satisfactory. Normally, the NAS only shows under Network on File Manger, and only allows
drives to be mapped, when the laptop is connected via Ethernet. I tried comparing adapter settings between when using Ethernet and using WiFi (for example, that the same Microsoft LLDP protocols are ticked). I also put both Acer M5s side by side to compare
settings. I also tried repairing Windows 8 and reloading all Windows updates. But I have not thus far gone all the way back to a complete Windows 8 restore to factory conditions.
Advice, help please, thanks.
Wait for Win-8.1?

Unable To See Network Drive from outside Home Network..even when using DynDNS

Hi
I have just got a Freecom Media storage Network Center which I have attached to my WRT150N router.
I am attemting to permit access to authorised users to files on the drive via the internet (presumably via ftp).
Here is what I have done:
Swiitched on DynDNS on the web admin page in the router (used DynDNS.com free service.
Obtained a user addess which is middle-earth.dyndns-home.com from DynDNS, which is linked to my Virgin Media IP
Switched on Port Range forwarding with
Ports 20-21 as ftp
Port 80 as http
Port 57 as DNS
Selected "both protocols"
Set the IP address to route to 192.168.1.42 - (this is the IP address which the web based software for the Network Drive reports as.
However the configuration of the TCP/IP protocol in PC attached by LAN cable to the router is "Obtain an IP address automatically" (i.e. dynamic?). If I change these settings and specify static IP addresses   will I not muck up internet connection to Virgin Media.
what I was hoping to acheive was typing     ftp:// middle-earth.dyndns-home.com
in the address bar would let me see the network drive from anywhere!
I have tried using DNS pinging on Ports 20, and 21 but that tells my ports are closed. i have also tried switching off my software firewall (Kaspersky) and the router firewall, but this does nothing.
What have I done wrong or no done!!
Thanks

I think the problem is solved.
The Freecom device needs to use a different part of its interface to be assigned a static IP address, which I have now done. At my last try it was visible from two independent views outside of my network.
On another front, I am appalled at Linksys or Cisco, who are not prepared to advice on getting more from their produicts if they are 'out of warranty'. The online chat tech said I could ring an 0871 premium line number in the UK. When I rang that, I was told as tthat as my unit is not faulty and was out of warranty I would have to use their pay per incident service.
That is not a way to deal with customers. When it comes to upgrading or replacing network equipment, I will look to a provider who is interested in their customers.

Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
Original Question
Already
posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a 'net
use' script.
This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
To replicate this:
The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?
But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
"Project cannot open the file.
-Check that the file name and path are correct.
-Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458/en-us|
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2eeea140-7e6c-4cb9-a89b-06d2102bd9f7/
I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

Case 1
This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
Case 2
This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
the file or folder name.
Case 3
This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
folders.
For example, if you have the following:
a shared folder on a network server
-and-
an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
Case 4
This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
According each, please try the following workaround:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
Case 1
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Save a copy of the
file with a different
file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
Case 3
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
Method 3:
Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
Case 4
Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
Case 5
Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
1.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.
On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
3.
Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
folder on your local drive and then click OK.
4.
Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
Hope that helps.

Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

Hi All
I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Ed

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Leopard cannot see hard drive on any Mac running Tiger.

Running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 3GHz 4-core w/6GB RAM. I cannot connect to any hard drive / root directory on any Mac on my network running Tiger (10.4.9, .10 or .11) or OS9. Yes I have an Avid Meridian in the edit suite runing OS 9.2.2. No laughing please...
I can connect to the User folder on any Mac running Tiger but not any hard drives on any Mac running Tiger from a Mac running Leopard. The hard drive cannot be accessed from a User folder even if an alias of the Tiger drive is placed in the ~/User/Public folder.
The reverse works as usual. Any Mac running Tiger can see any hard drive on any networked Mac including Macs running Leopard.
Has anyone else encountered this issue &/or found a workaround? I spent almost 2 hours with Apple Tech Support including a system specialist. They confirmed this behavior in Leopard connected to Tiger OS Macs. Hard drives can be seen between all Macs running Leopard. It was theorized by one of the Apple techs that the behavior was engineered to encourage upgrading all Macs to Leopard. BAD idea! I requested this be reported to Apple engineering.
Tiger can see any drive on the network back to OS7. Leopard cannot see previous OS version hard drives.
TIA for replies.

I suggest that you repeat the external boot process with your MBP. If it boots the MBP, the internal SATA cable probably is faulty and should be replaced.
Ciao.

Cannot see Networked computers and problems with WEP sign in

I recently installed a new HD (SAMSUNG HM500LI) into my 2.16GHz MacbookPro running 10.5.5 and transferred all my files using Apple's Migration Assistant.
Everything seems to have been working fine until I tried to log in to a friend's wireless network using a WEP password. OSX gives me the error message "Commection Timeout". I can however connect to other unsecured wireless networks on the list.
I have tried deleting the keychain access for the WEP network and reentering the correct password, but no success.
What I have also realised is that I cannot see other macs on my Network in finder any more.
Another point worth mentioning is that the Parallels NAT and Guest in Network preferences (for Parallels virtualisation software) have now automatically been renamed to Ethernet... (en2) and (en3).
I still have my original harddrive in an external casing and booted from that and everything worked perfectly - I can both log onto the WEP wireless internet and see other macs in my vicinity.
Can anyone help me here please? Are there maybe some settings that weren't migrated with the assistant? Could it be that my file sharing settings need altering? Did I maybe not format the new drive correctly (I just erased the new one and formatted it in Mac OS Extended (Journaled))? Has a recent Apple update maybe upset something, and if so, is there a way to uninstall it?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Robbie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you done any Maintenance since installing?
If not, at start with this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Then delete the orignals & reboot once more.
On the WEP PW, try putting a Dollar Sign in front of it, like...
$xxxxxxxxx
Also, is the WEP PW exactly 5 or 13 ASCII, or 10 or 26 HEX characters?

Leopard Mac cannot see hard drives on Tiger Macs

Download and read the documentation for Carbon Copy Cloner which is handy and what a lot of us have used over the years to clone, migrate and backup or manage drives and storage.
I think 500GB is overkill for boot drive as most of your apps and OS only need less than 150GB, and all of your data and media and home folders can be anywhere you want and not on the boot drive. Also, Apple way over charges for 2TB drives and no reason or value to do so. That is history now but fwiw.
You could I guess setup one 2TB as boot drive easy enough. Then migrate etc. Make that a backup of everything. Then manually or with CCC or other you can clone just what you want to SSD and to the other 2TB drive.
Apps should always go to the boot drive, the SSD in this case, and not to other locations. No benefit putting them elsewhere.
When you migrate are your files on TimeMachine or just standard files and folders? and can't selectively copy? Honestly never found need to use M.A. more than once probably.
