Deleting masters from network drive

I have my masters on a network drive for backup purposes, but when I try to delete them (CMD+backspace), although the references to them get deleted from the project, the originals are still there on the network. This isn't a permissions problem, because I can delete them through the Finder.
How can I get Aperture to actually delete masters on a network drive? Or is this an impossible dream?

I am thinking this is the way you have it set up:
1) Masters go on Network drive
2) You import masters
3) You work with masters in Aperture
If so, the reason Aperture is not removing the masters on the network drive is that on import it copies the masters into the lirbary and then does not know about them after that. So from that sense your dream is impossible, because Aperture will not touch the masters outside of the Aperture library.

  • Quicktime 7.2 (and up) slow playout from network drive

    Does anybody has a problem with all versions of Quicktime 7.2 (and up) where Quicktime Player doesn't play or open files very slowly from network drives? 7.1.6 works fine. This happens on all my machines.

    Hey Germac,
    For me these invisible files were not stored on the desktop as the files i was working with were on an external drive but i guess if the file you are converting is located there or if the desktop happens to be where the resulting file is saved, it's likely these invisible .QT temp files will be created on the desktop.
    I've sent info of this to apples quicktime feedback so hopefully they'll look into it.
    Here are some apps that will allow you to view invisible files without using the terminal, i've been using the InvibliX app as it seemed to be the most recent and/or up to date but there are plenty to choose from.

  • [Solved] Delete files from usb drive connected to wireless router

    Hello,
    I have a home network with Samba for file sharing.
    I have a Netgear router with a Western Digital 2TB external drive attached to the router.
    I installed Samba according to the arch wiki and everything works fine but I cannot delete or access some files from the shared USB drive.
    I access the file as follows:

    The USB drive is Western Digital My Book 2 TB drive attached as a NAS to the router that shares it.  I installed Samba on the arch machine so I can access and backup various home computers onto the NAS.
    Here is some info I just found on the Western Digital Support site:
    The Western Digital units mentioned above use a proprietary file system and cannot be reformatted as FAT32, NTFS, or a Mac File System.
    The file system on the WD My Cloud EX2, WD My Cloud EX4, WD My Cloud, WD My Book Live, WD My Book Live Duo, WD ShareSpace, WD ShareSpace, WD TV Live Hub, My Net N900 Central, WD My Book World Edition, WD NetCenter hard drives support access from Windows, Mac and most Linux based computer systems through a SAMBA network sharing connection.
    I thought I would mention that I can access the NAS and write, read and execute from the drive.

    This is where the trouble lies.  Thanks for your help.

  • Adobe files missing from network drive after editing...

    Problem started around June 1st.  PDF files are shared on the network drive.  After I edit one of the forms and resave it, the networked computers can no longer see the file listed on the network drive.  Only the hosting computer still sees them.  Also, if I resave one of the files as a new name, it will reappear on the network.  Any ideas?  Adobe Reader 11.0.03

    Yes, the problem is still continuing. However, after looking into as much of it as I can, I can confirm something that r.p.b_ started stumbling on. The files are deleted IF AND ONLY IF a user is using the built-in Windows 7 disc burning utility AND is dragging
    and dropping the files to the drive from a network share; this doesn't happen locally. If you watch what happens in the native folder, the files are literally scrubbed from the drive as they are processed and added to the image. However, if you Right Click
    on the files and copy them, then Right Click->Paste onto the drive, they remain. (The keyboard shortcuts also worked.) Also, 3rd party disc burning utilities function they way the should. (In other words, they don't delete the files.)
    My speculation is that there's a bug in the coding that sees the network share as a temporary buffer file while the image is being prepared. Then, as the files are processed in what ever way is needed, the "temporary buffer" is being deleted. The result:
    lost files on a network share. But, this is just speculation.

  • Problem importing from network drive???HELP

    I have all my photos on a networked drive (pc network)
    I want to be able to access the photos from my ibook wihtout putting them on the internal mac HD (would fill it in no time flat).
    When I try to import the files i get an error "The volume for "@#!@#" cannot be found....Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again." The drive is accessable from the mac, and is on the desktop, and if I keep hitting 'cancel' for the error message about 8 times the photo loads.
    I have over 7500 photos, that is almost 50,000 times to hit 'cancel'
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Nate
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   networked to win xp

    I've had similar problems, I'll see if this advanced setting thing will help. My objective is to have my "Master iLibrary" on an external hard drive connected to a new airport extreme wireless network in my house. Then all three household laptops can access our extensive ilibrary without using hard drive space on the laptops, and wirelessly to boot. In addition I want to be able to connect all three ipods (and hopefully an iphone come June:) to any one of the three laptops to access this very large music library (50GB). It seems to me that by trying to protect copyright for the artist the honest end consumer gets hosed. I can't seem to get the album art for many of my songs seemingly because of my unwillingness to re-import hundreds and hundreds of CDs that I have boxed up in the attic. The album art isn't anything more than an issue of asthetics where as deleteing ten thousand songtitles when itunes repopulates my library is enough to make a laptop grow wings and fly across the room. I hope that technology heads toward more continuity for music junkies. I've been trying to find the right device, software and format for my extensive collection of music. I started with musicmatch jukebox and got agrivated then used WMP out of forced convinience. Now I have moved to itunes because apple "seems" to be developing what the consumer wants instead of telling the consumer what they are going to get. I haven't even begun to convert my cassettes, vinyl, or 8 tracks. That is a nightmare waiting in the wings. Anyone with advice in the way of a turnkey operation for my planned setup? I believe that what I am trying to do is very likely the desire of most consumers. If Apple gets this worked out and user friendly I'd bet they'll take over the majority marketshare as fast as they can handle it if not faster.

  • Delete Dialogue not appearing... can't delete songs from hard-drive

    After downloading ver 7.0.2 I can't delete songs from my hard-drive by deleting them in iTunes.
    There's supposed to be a dialogue(sp?) box that shows up when you delete a song in the main library (not in playlists), that asks you if you want to permanantly delete a file (song, movie, etc), or if you only want to delete it from the iTunes list.
    It's not showing up for me, so I have to seek out the folder and delete the song manually in Windows.
    I'd get this problem occasionaly in the older versions, but usually a restart of the program, or in worse cases, rebooting the computer would solve the problem, but not this time.
    I've tried re-installing the program, but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I tried the following fix, and it didn't work..
    Is anyone else having this problem after upgrading to 7.0.2?
    I'm sure I didn't check the box in the delete dialog that says "do not show this again"
    I've also tried hitting the shift key when deleting.. still no luck.
    HELP!!
    Resetting the iTunes Preference Files:
    -- Quit iTunes
    -- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    -- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
    You may need to enable 'Show Hidden Files/Folders' in Windows Explorer==>Tools menu==>Folder Options==>’View’ tab before you can see the Application Data & Local Settings folders.
    This will force iTunes to run the setup assistance the next time you open it. You'll have to go back and re-set any preferences you want changed from the iTunes default. When you restart iTunes, it will perform its initial startup process. Do not let iTunes search for your music files. The old library is still there and iTunes will see it after it gets past the initial dialog screens.

  • App for streaming from network drive to Apple TV?

    I'm looking for an app that can do several things. There are apps that I've downloaded and paid for >:-( that do one or even tow of these things, but I want to:
    Stream movies (of different file types) from a network drive (WD MyBookLive) to Apple TV, via an iPad.
    There are apps that will stream any filetype from a Mac to apple TV, but they need certain server software running on the Mac, so no good for me with my network drive.
    There are also apps that will play any filetype on an iPad, streamed from a network drive. But these won't stream to Apple TV.
    Is there something that does both, that doesn't require special software on the drive?
    Thanks!

    That's a shame.
    thanks Rudegar

  • Cannot Delete Folders from USB drive connected to Airport Extreme

    When I try to delete files from the usb drive connected to my airport I get "cannot remove folder, the directory is not empty.
    This only happens for some of the folders that are empty. No problem deleting any files whether they were created before or after I setup the airport. The folders that won't delete were created after I hooked up the drive to the airport however, I can make new folders and delete them no problem now. The ones that don't delete say "read only" in the properties. when I uncheck read only it reverts back to read only automatically.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?

    Tried what you suggested last night - no change. What is odd, though, is that I can create a new folder on the external USB HDD (through the Hub) and copy a file into it. While I can then close Finder, re-open and see the Folder and file I copied, I still can't see all the data that is currently stored on the drive...Is this a delete and re-copy scenario?
    Thanks!

  • Trying to install on MacBookPro with Parallels and Windows 8.1. Downloaded the CreativeCloud.exe but says I can't install from network drive

    I sometimes like to use Photoshop CC and Lightroom on the Windows side of my MacBookPro with Parallels. I had to reinstall Parallels and also Windows 8.1 recently and am trying to reinstall some of the software that I had previously on the Windows side. I downloaded the CreativeCloud.exe program and when I try to install it from the Windows side, get a message that I can't install Creative Cloud from a network drive. Where can I put the CreativeCloud.exe so I can install it?
    Thanks!

    You probably need to check your drive setup for the Parallels environment. Nothing to do with Adobe.

  • Time machine restore from network drive kernel panic

    I had a late 2013 macbook pro 15" retina, I was backing up with time machine to a network drive (western digital my cloud). All of my backups are there and the data looks valid. In April I ended up selling the macbook pro, then recently I bought another one and attempted to restore from the network drive.
    I chose the option to restore on boot from network device, it properly detects and lets me browse my previous backups. I choose restore, the restore will run for a few hours and then reboot with a kernel panic.
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff00184c0ac1): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"0/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2422.90.20/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp: 1541"
    I've tried a few different backups, one from April, one from march...both result in the same error. Any ideas why this would happen?

    Time Machine full system restores only work if the backup disk doesn't need drivers separate from Mac OS X to mount. To make a long story short, you CAN'T do a full system restore with the disk your backups are on.

  • Permanently Deleting Photos from Hard Drive

    Hi, I recently upgraded to a macbook pro from a macbook. I backed up all of my photos to an external hard drive from the macbook, then moved the entire library to the trash then emptied the trash. I just ran a program called "Disk Inventory X" to find out why my hard drive was still almost full and it turns out that the deleted photos are still on the hard drive in pictures/iphotolibrary/originals/ then their folders (which I can see in the "disc inventory X" program), however I cannot see the files in Finder to delete them. How can I proceed to delete them (there's about 100 gigs)?
    Is there another way to open Iphoto Library to erase the files without opening iphoto because the photos are not visibel there?

    In Disk Inventory X, when something is selected, just do File > Reveal in Finder or its shortcut on the menu Command-F. That will reveal the folder in the Finder.
    Also, in the grid of squares, right-click something and Reveal in Finder is on the context menu.
    If the photos are stil listed in iPhoto, select one and do File > Reveal in Finder > Original file. This will show you where on disk any iPhoto photo is.
    Note that if you can still see these original photos in iPhoto, it is best to delete them from iPhoto and then empty trash in iPhoto. If you delete photos in the Finder, behind iPhoto's back, you can really screw up your iPhoto library as it loses track of the files it thought were there. You really do not want to go there...

  • Deleting songs from Hard Drive

    If I delete songs from my hard drive, will that then delete them from my Ipod next time it syncs?

    Yes... Your iPod will only sync what is in your iTunes Library. Your iPod will automatically delete any songs that are not on your computer the next time it syncs. However if when you connect your iPod to your computer it comes up on the summary tab. On that tab you can choose to manually manage music & videos. Then you can put what you want on your iPod. It will only add or remove music/videos when you tell it to do so.... Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Syncing photos from network drive

    all my photos are stored on a network drive and itunes successfully syncs all photos from this drive to my iphone. however, the next time i turn on my computer and re-sync, i see from the photos tab that the location of my photos has been changed to the iphotos library, which i don't use.
    this may be happening because i run itunes so soon after booting that the computer hasn't had the chance to find the network drive yet. and that's fine. but if i re-select the source of photos to the same network drive, itunes insists that it is a different library than on my iphone and wants to sync all the photos from scratch.
    is there a way to indicate that this is the same source and not a new source?

    Same results here... I have an Infrant ReadyNAS RAID file server that I bought to be my 'master' vault for all my data. My computers don't store any important data locally. Their "My Documents" shortcuts point to the fileserver.
    When I tried to sync Apple TV to the My Pictures folder, iTunes would think for a few seconds and then give me the little exclaimation mark inside the triangle instead of the synching icon, and would go no further.
    I was occasioanlly able to sync very small picture subfolders from under "My Pictures", but that was it.
    Since I don't plan on moving the master copies of my photos off of the fileserver, I am just going to use a batch file to periodically mirror the x:\mypictures folder to c:\appletvsuckspicturemirror. Then I'll just set up Apple TC to go get the photos there instead.
    robocopy "x:\my_documents\mypictures" c:\appletvsuckspicturemirror /e
    I use robocopy for lots of other stuff because it only copies new or modified files (it's a free microsoft utility)

  • Word and Excel hang "downloading" file from network drive - copy file to be able to open it

    Word or Excel hang trying to open files on a network drive maybe after an untidy close.
    Symptoms:  pick the file from a pinned entry on recent list or even direct from File!Open... or by double clicking on the file from file explorer.  Word/Excel show in the middle of the status line a comment "Downloading:filename "  
    a progress bar, that shows no progress, and a white cross on a red circle to close.  Some minutes later may Excel/Word  say could not open filename.
    I have removed any temporary copies of the file prefixed with the ~. However there are no documents shown in any document recovery pane.
    If I rename the original file the problem is still there.
    I can only clear the problem by working on a copy of the file. It works with either a new name of if the copy is used to replace the original file.
    It seems file explorer's "copy" is clearing something within the file that is causing this problem.
    I have seen the same issue with both Excel and Word documents in native Office 2010 format.
    Is there a better way to clear this issue?
    Thanks

  • Office 365 files won't open from network drive

    I can’t open any office  documents from a mapped network drive. I can however go to file explorer and go straight the server directory (\\servername\share) and open any document. As a workaround, I created a shortcut on the desktop that points
    to the share to allow the user to continue working.
    I have checked permission and added the path in Trust Center. I know it’s not the computer because I have logged in with other users and everything works fine. I have also logged into other computer with the user that is having the problem and again
    everything works. I'm convinced it some setting I'm missing within the user profile on the computer.
