Cineman tools vs. afp network drive--can this really still be a problem?

I have a QNAP network attached storage device for my video clips, and Cinema Tools is throwing "error -40" when I attempt to conform a clip. Doing a search, I find this message in the archives: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5433438
It is so old that replies are no longer permitted. Yet it seems to describe precisely the problem I am having. Is it really possible that in the past 3 years, either nobody else is trying to use network drives for video, or that Cinema Tools cannot perform the basic tasks that every other app seems to do with ease, such as write to a directory that enjoys full read+write permissions?

I do have a workaround, but it is such a hack that I cannot possibly believe it. If I trim my clips down to less than 2GB each (which, I can tell you, is an enormous PITA, because if there's one thing FCP does not want to do, it is to slice and dice master clips), then, miraculously, Cinema Tools will conform the resulting clips without complaint.
Could it possibly be that Cinema Tools is even more brain-damaged than that FAT filesystem, which itself is only limited to 4GB clips? Surely somebody in the world before me has attempted to conform files of more than trivial size.

    My Mac is connected to Microsoft Active Directory. Every time I schould unlock the disk with the local admin, then login as network user.
    If I made the mobile account for a network user, can this user unlock the FileVault2-disk?
    Thanks.

    Yes, but the FileVault password won't be updated automatically if the login password changes.

  • Number range buffer - can this really be? SAP BW 710

    Hello everone,
    hope you are fine!
    I am looking for some real light into the number range buffering
    I have extracted 2 Million data from DS 0PCA_EC_3 into a standard DSO which took inititally 13 h. (14 h in Production)
    Now I figured the InfoObjects with high number range levels and enabled the buffering there.
    The result is - which I can not believe at the moment and thats why I am looking first for answers before I disable the number range buffering and ran again into 13 h load - that the load took plus activation 45 MINUTES!!!!!
    The Questions are:
    1. Can this be possible that the performance increase so dramatically due to number range buffering?
         I have not checked the SM66 for selection to table NRIV at the initial run
    2. If this is realy the reason do I have to transport the settings I did in SNRO?
    3. What if I decide not to use the number range buffering after some loads, is it easy to disable again without any data issue?
    Thanks really for your input these are much appreciated.
    bye Ömer

    Hi everyone,
    is there no one who can at least share his/her experience with number range buffering?
    thanks for any input on this.
    bye Ömer

  • I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320 gig hdd and my drive is corrupted and I can't engage it. So I would like to switch to a 1 terabyte drive can this be done?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320hdd, 2.33 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and  OS X 10.9.4 .  My hdd crashed and I cannot access it so is it possible to install a 1 terabyte drive with the operating software already installed and also upgrade my RAM to 16 gigs?

    If I were you I'd install a small SSD as the boot drive from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
    Then put a second large conventional drive either in the optical bay (Data Doubler) or in an external.
    You don't say which MBP you have: Size, CPU type.
    Also when you upgrade you could see if you can salvage your data from your old HD. Can you hear it spin up? If so Data Rescue IV.

  • Firefox 4 doesn't allow me to scroll the page even though I have autoscrolling and smooth scrolling ticked in Tools Options Advanced:General. Can this be fixed?

    After updating Firefox to Firefox 4 I cannot use my page scrolling in the browser. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad and use my Trackerpoint for scrolling. All other applications work fine with the Trackerpoint. Can someone fix this or tell me what I need to do to enable scrolling?

  • Can this really happen?

    Last year I purchased a 27 inch imac.  A good friend who is a mac guru and an MIT grad, offered to set it up for me.  So I said sure.  Well a year latter there are emails that I have never got, imessaging is set up (and that is something I would never do.  Someone needed my apple id and password to do that.  Facebook, Twitter, they are active accounts because there are active conversations going on in these accounts.  Mobile Me (pics of me in a mobile me gallery that to say the least are not flattering. And a lot of other weird stuff.  Anyhow, when i power up to research why my mac is starting up in a grey screen with a flashing ? mark and folder, i came accross Disk Utilities.  I do have a 21 inch iMac that is set up in my office.  The problems started with that one and so I bought the 27 inch.  And yes my friend set up that one to.  There are many folder and apps that I can not acces or have permissions to do so. My user was set up as an Admin., but when I was snooping areound, I realized that this is just an alias, and that I am being managed.  Didnt know what it was at first, and didnt think much of it since apple techs told me that this light is always on, but a green light always appears on my desktop, and it only seems to happen at night, my computer is in my bedroom that is why i notice it.  Back to my mac keeps apparing, so does some icons regarding remote login.  If this is all in my head, thats fine, but at this point I want control of my Mac.  No other super users, Administrators or root users, just me and only me.  I know I will loose some stuff that hasn't been backed up but again, i don't care.  My only other concern is that my internet is through comcast and he has the password for the network.  and there is like 5 networks set up for just my mac.  that doesnt make senseI  I do have my dvd and install disc 1 and 2.I havent heard from my friend for a few weeks, which doesnt make sense, but he acted surprised when I mentioned some of these issues.  But these issues seemed to get worse after I brought this info to him.  Maybe Im just been nuts, but please let me know if I should just leave it all alone.  Thanks

    I mean... as I guy who sets stuff like this up for people, it sounds odd... If I were you, I'd back the essential files up, and wipe the hard drive.  Use Internet Recovery, not your friend, to restore OS X.
    Don't mention it to him, see if he asks about it like "hey, how's your Mac doing?" once he realizes he's lost access..  Assuming that's what he's up to...
    But wait, you bought the 21", were having issues, so bought the 27"?  Can I have the 21"?!
    No but seriously, it sounds like he's one of those tech guys who wants to feel like a badass by "managing" your iMac for you, but again, I wouldn't be comfortable with that, and I'd reinstall OS X from scratch.
    Good luck!

  • Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop.  Is there a small fee to be able to do this.  Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

    I replied to this off topic message by Sooty1234:

    In order to install your soundcard properly, I recommend you to ensure
    the following for the audio installation and test:
    - The card is the only card installed other than the Graphics card.
    - The card is at least one empty slot away from the Graphics card.
    - Place the soundcard away from all the others.
    - That the card is seated properly in the PCI slot.
    - Move the PC's internal wires away from the soundcard.
    - That the on-board sound on your motherboard is disabled through the
    BIOS.
    - That the on-board gameport is disabled through the BIOS.
    - That your motherboard BIOS is up-to-date.

    and patches.
    - That there are no background applications open when you attempt the
    solution.

    their
    recommended settings.
    - That you access the PC with administrator rights.

  • I do not have the toolbar. No history,tools, bookmarks ect. I have reinstalled firefox still have the problem.

    Vista 64
    dell xps m1530

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • Will  Networks Drives are in  the roadmap in Final Cut X? if so, what is the timing for this version?

    Hello,
         We have  some customers that desire to keep in the apple strategy with the features of FCP v7.  With the new FCP X they lose the ability to share the media through different workflows. Ingest, Editing, trascoding, MAM and delivery will take long time moving the data from SAN Drives.
         Some of them currently use the Scale out architecture as advantage to reduce the time to produce media  faster but it is necesary to deliver this production to a network drive. So, is there  any workaround or timing to deliver the FCP X version to use network drives?  Will it be soon?
    I´ll appreciate any news.
    Julio Ortiz

    Speculation about future software is against the terms of use of the forum.
    Network drives can currently be used and accessed from FCP. Only one FCP editor can access it at a time.

  • Can a network drive appear in the event library?

    Is it possible for medias to remain on an external network drive?
    This will allow to moove events away from the internal Hard drive that is getting very full.
    At the moment, I have the target drive as a shared drive in finder and I can access it when importing. But it is not showing in the event library.
    Is there a setup to do?
    Thank you very much for your help

    AFAIK FCP X supports SAN, but does not support networked drives in general.
    One possible workaround is to create a disk image in the network drive. If you mount the disk image using the Finder, it will appear to FCP X as if it were a local disk. It can be used to store events and projects. Of course, you should make sure that the network is fast enough - which should be ok, provided that it is gigabit ethernet and with little extra traffic.
    So, the idea would be to create a sparse disk image - make it as big as you like (being sparse means it can be created as, say, 300GB, but won't occupy drive space until you actually add content to it),  format it as mac os extended (journaled or not). Mount the disk image. Start FCP X.
    Be extra careful with backing things up, as this creates another possible failure point, as sometimes disk images can get corrupted (all the more likely, as they are being written over the network).
    One other point: if you quit and restart FCP X, it will try to remount the disk image. If, in some instance, you don't want that to happen, you should option-Quit ("Quit and discard windows"). Then FCP X will not auto-remount the image in the next start.

  • I just upgraded to CC (from LR 5) on Macbook Pro and can no longer import to Network Drive.  New version is LR 5.7.  Help?

    Just like the title says: MBP, retina works great with LR 5 installed from CD.  Added CC, upgraded to LR 5.7 and now import "hangs" with no activity.  Have been using LR since version 2.
    More info: the problem is writing to my network drive (which has been working since LR 2...  It seems a Temporary Folder is created with permissions 755 (owner=rw, group=r, others=r),
    then nothing more.
    Has something changed with respect to LR handling of network drives.  This is a Linux CIFS/SMB share (again, been using since LR 2).  Catalog is local on my MBP.

    This is my post and I'm new, so I may not be providing the answer in the "usual" manner.  (Feel free to educate me!)
    Solution:
    The mounted volume on MacBook is /Volumes/photowork.  Notice the lowercase 'p' in photowork.   In LR I had selected a mount point
    with *uppercase* 'p'.  See screen shot.  Summary: The already-selected mount point was /Volumes/Photoshop.  LR had no complaints.  When
    I changed the mount point to /Volumes/photowork LR imported as expected. 
    This only became an issue since the upgrade, as I simply never tinkered with mount points and so on.  This archive
    server has files back to 2000 on it.    Thanks so much to those who responded.

  • Can't download images to a network drive

    EOS Rebel T2i directly connected to a PC running Windows XP. The PC shows it is connected to the camera as well as our network drive. The preferences are set to download each picture taken to the network drive. This has been the case for a couple of years and it works just fine. Now out of the blue it stopped working. There is a message "No more shot is available". If we change the setting to putting the image on the desktop then it works fine. The network drive has 30TB free space so it is nowhere near being full. We have tried going to other network drives but get the same result.

    What OS runs your network server? Does the XP machine control an external drive or do you have a server machine running another OS that the XP is saving to? You may need to double check your XP "allowed" programs on your firewall settings. You haven't elaborated on what network changes occured. I'm not referring to the specific details but if permissions have changed on the network server, they may prevent you from saving the files or it is a "read-only" directory now. You may need to contact your systems admin to look up these details for you. Let us know what's going on, you got me curious
