File share with USB HD & AEBS?

Is there a way for me to convince my Airport Extreme Base Station to let all the users on the Airport network read and write to a USB hard drive connected to the Base Station's USB port?
If not, is the only comparable solution one of those LaCie ethernet disks?
(iDisk's slowness and syncing problems are getting me down. I figure if I can make this work, I can just dump files onto the iDisk each night, have a big sync-fest, and then march bravely into the next day.)
Many thanks!
Hector

Why not create a shared folder on one (server) machine. And have all users use that folder for their sync-fest. A good utility to do so is SharePoints
As far as I can tell, the AEBS is not equipped (i.e. no relevant firmware) to handle a USB disk. It can only handle some printers...

IMac G5 cannot file share with Powerbook G4

Howdy.
Just got a refurb iMac G5 20".
I can connect to the internet (wireless) and can file share with my PowerMac G4.
My PowerMac G4 can file share with the iMac as well as my PowerBook G4.
The PowerBook G4 can file share with the PowerMac G4.
The iMac and PowerBook cannot file share with each other. I've tried everything I've known and read to do in the Network and Sharing sections on both computers. Still nothing.
I will add that I have to manually type in the Server Address for the iMac to connect to the PowerMac as well for the PowerMac to connect to the iMac.
iMac running 10.4.
PowerMac and PowerBook running 10.3.9.
Thanks for any help.

How can I file share with another person if both of us are using Mac operating systems? Do we need to use a third party file sharing system or does apple have this capability?

How can I file share with another personif both of us are using Mac operating systems (one of us using a Mac laptop and the other using iMac). Our intention is to have a working document that can be changed by both parties over time and both parties will have visibility to the others changes.

IMac file share with an Imerge s3000 server.

I cannot get ny mac to connect with an Imerge s3000 music server. I can operate the system through the mac using the TV interface but I cannot share files. The server is recognised by the mac on the network but each time I try to access the files it reports connection failed. I need to access the files for backup and storing downloaded music. I have followed all the instrctions but all goes well until the last step of opening the files.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I have followed the same process. The credentials which I have given are same as my PC. But I am getting the same error. Can you please clarify the statement "Service
account that is using for file share subscription should have write access to shared folder."
given in the above link?
I am the one who created the folder and subscribing the report, so probably I have the full write permissions to the shared folder. What is the service account in this context?
I think the problem is, I am deploying the report on the server and creating the shared folder in the local machine. I tried giving shared folder permissions to the user on the server. But my local machine is in local domain and I cant access the users on
the remote server. Do I need to create a shared folder on the server? I am new to SSRS. Please help me.
PS: I have assigned with all roles viz. Browser, Content Manager, Publisher, Report Builder etc. and My Role name (WEBSERVER\User)
is different from my local user name (domain\username) in domain.

Index file share with pictures - how to get the "Tag" property as refiner?

Hi,
I'm indexing a folder in file share and in the windows explorer view i gave values to the "Tags" property.
Now i want to set it as refiner in search results. I see that SharePoint gets the properties of: file name, size, picture height, picture width, author... how to get also the properties of Tags? and Dimensions?
keren tsur

Hi keren,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add some refiners based on pictures’ properties in SharePoint 2013 Search.
Firstly, do a full crawl for the content cource.
For the ‘Tags’ refiner, go to the results page, click on edit page and edit the refiners web part, then choose the Choose Refiners picker. Now add the TAGS field to the right hand column.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/23690.sharepoint-metadata-tag-refiners-not-displaying-in-sharepoint-2013office-365-search.aspx
SharePoint indexes an item based on list/library columns. However, for the Dimensions property of pictures, SharePoint library cannot retrieve the property from pictures . So when crawling, the property cannot be crawed as a crawled property, you are not
able to add it as a refiner in Search. When you use Picture Library, there are Picture Size, Picture Width and Height columns, you can create refiners based on these three columns. You can check them in Crawled properties(CA->Search Service Application->Seach
Schema).
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

File share with my friends computer across the internet.

Hello,
so my friend recently got a mac (changed from windows)
and i was wondering can i set up file sharing with him?
I have created an "Online HD" in my sharing folder, so how can he access it?
thanks
Aries

Yes, it is possible. To add to what others have said here, if you are connected to the internet via a router that implements NAT (network address translation), you have to configure the router to do "port forwarding", which means that connections that come into it on a certain port (AppleShare uses port 548) should be forwarded to your computer on the LAN (local network). The person on the connecting end supplies the IP address or host name for the router (not your Mac) to connect.
Caveats are, your ISP may change your IP address at will so you have to beware of that. They usually don't change very often. More importantly, though, you should keep in mind that it is a big bad world out there, and every listening port that you enable is a potential avenue for the bad guys to get in. AppleShare is pretty secure, but if you do set this up then I recommend you enable it when necessary. Disable File Sharing, or better yet, disable the NAT port forwarding for 548, when you aren't using it.
Another caveat is that your ISP may not allow setting up a server on some ports, or at all. If they block port 548 you can use a different one. If they block all ports then you're out of luck.

Unable to access server files shares with Active Directory Users

Quick breakdown of my issue.
I have setup a Yosemite file server running the latest version of Yosemite and Server.
File sharing in Server.app is enabled and shares have been created
The server is bound to my company's Active Directory and you can directly login to the computer via AD credentials.
The big issue is this, unless the user has directly walked up to my server and logged into it at least once, they cannot authenticate to the file shares via their AD credentials.
For example: Administrator (me) I can login and access all file shares without issue.
Jane Smith (SMITH) who has actually walked up to my server and logged in via her AD credentials, can also access all file shares. (That she has access to)
John Doe (JDOE) who has not logged into the server in anyway, cannot authenticate to the server file shares at all (even though I have granted him permission) He just gets an "Access Denied" message.
I have gone into Directory Utility and changed the search order to give AD priority and this still doesn't resolve the problem.
We have unbound the server from AD and added in back again and still not able to resolve.
If you open Server.app and go to add someone from AD to a file share, it finds the AD user quickly and everything looks right. but still unable to authenticate to the server if they haven't directly logged into it before?
All of the documentation and google articles I have found say my server is setup correctly, any help would be greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

I figured this out. In Mountain Lion Server, it doesn't matter if you give the user rights to a shared file or folder, if the user doesn't have access the File Sharing service, they can't get it. I had to find the specific users in the Server app under the AD in the Users tab, and give them rights to the File Sharing service. I think you can do this for a whole AD group as well, but I haven't tried.

Why won't my mac file share with my network?

I want to share my files throughout my home network, but my mac computer is the only one that is causing trouble. My other windows computers and the USB drive connected to my router is working fine. Whenever I try to look for these devices through the network folder on my mac computer, it just sits there and no other devices appear. On any other computer, they will show up within 5 seconds. I have let it sit for 5 minutes and I nothing has found up.
How can I get these computers and usb drive to show up. This mac has been resisting me the whole way when it comes to network.

OS X: How to connect with File Sharing using SMB

The SMB client failed to resume a handle on a file share with continuous availability

Hi.
We have a 2-node WS2012 cluster that has a file server role with couple shares configured.
We're however constantly getting spammed by the following errors in the eventlog:
1) event 1002, source: SmbServer, message: "RKF failure - SRV2 failed to get acknowledgement from Resume Key filter for persistent handle request."
2) SCOM has an alert opened with this description: "SMB client failed to resume Continuously Available (CA) handle as Resume Key Filter is not acknowledging the handle." Per the alert knowledge, we've inspected ResumeKeyFilter eventlog, but it
contains only informational message and warnings and none of those are from the time the alert was created.

Using network file share with iPhoto 08

Hello all: I am a new "switcher". My home network consists of a windows machine and my new imac, with a linux file server which I use to store all data files including my family's extensive photo library.
Back in windows land I was able to just point Picassa to the photo directory on my server and in this way all computers could share the same photo files.
I need to figure out how to do this with iPhoto 08. When I tried doing this yesterday, iPhoto wanted to copy over to my imac all our photos from the server. This is not exceptable.
I am able to do a similar thing with iTunes, where all our music lives on our linux server, but each computer can see and use the files from the server.
Thanks very much for the hand-holding, Chris.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.

Cannot file share with PC Win 7 after Lion install

Prior to Lion install in my brand new MacBook Pro, I cannot share files with my PC running Win 7. I am connecting wirelessly and had no issues sharing files priior to the install. If anyone can help, please send me the steps to get my file sharing working.

How about telling us more about your network?

MacPro as central file server with usb tape backup

Good Day,
Couple of questions. Here is what they want to do. Small office, graphics design, 5 people at the moment, currently they backup to cds/dvds which takes too much time and effort.
What they want
Have a central networked location to store there files / projects. Easy backups.
So I was thinking of the following.
MacPro with 2x TB Drives Mirrored to have redundancy on the machine, many not even need to do it. just a suggestion.
Usb External Tape Drive - > backs up data daily
Now the questions that I have for this setup
1) Would just the 10.5 Leopard client work fine or would have to go to Leopard Server?
2) Cant remember if still can do a software raid on the client side without needed the dedicated mac pro raid card.
3) Any recommendations on external usb tape drives that would work with the mac. I can get the software without any problems. Thinking about EMC Retrospect 8.0 for mac

I think you mixed - or I misled. There are some nice dual drive cases from FirmTek that are really nice, use drive sleds.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Firmtek/SATA2SEN2E/
(even if you don't use something like this for your project, they are best quiet solid enclosure. The 5-drive + Sonnet E4P combo for RAID storage)
I used tape, but that was 20+ yrs ago dating back to the 70's.
HP plus Windows Home Server has a great hardware and software combination.
A picture - and some of the Amazon reviewers...
HP EX485 MediaSmart Home Server
http://www.amazon.com/HP-EX485-MediaSmart-Home-Server/dp/B001OI2ZG4/
- designed more for streaming and sharing rich media as well as backup server.
Retrospect... use to be a good name, not so sure now.
I am pretty much opposed to USB storage myself.
