File sharing in Bridge with Keywords

We seem to be having trouble getting the Keywording to come up on the 2nd shared machine, listed out in their stair-stepped categories like we have put them into to begin with... The 2nd new imac only seems to give a list of keywords simply sorted in alphabetically order .
Help!

I have same problem too. At the first, even after JB, it's OK! once I install some ebook software.... problem happen, now even JB or not, and I already install uninstall itunes several times, reset ipad serveral times and upgrade to 3.22.......
Now the situation is only allow one software on file sharing content, it will show all the file in that software and can be add or delete. Once I add one more software even movie player, quickoffice or cloudreader..... all problem in the file sharing contents but cannot see the doc now and cannot add and delete......
I Need help!

  • ITunes app file sharing not working with iOS 7.1.1

    After upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.1, I can't use the app file sharing in the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7. I first noticed it with the Kindle Reader app but confirmed that it also isn't working with GoodReader, HDExplorer, and Notability. Any ideas?

    It continues to be UNREAL how Apple will release iOS software without testing it.  Yep.  They BROKE WIFI SYNC.  It no longer works on my iPhones or iPads either.  UNREAL!!!!!!

  • File Sharing XP & Vista with WRT54G-RG Problem

    I'm hoping a network ninja can help me out with this, because I can't figure it out.
    I have a desktop running XP Home, with a wired connection to the WRT54G-RG Router. 
    I have a notebook running Vista that's wirelessly connected to said router.
    I have a Rogers cable modem hooked up to the router for internet sharing.
    I can surf the net fine from both machines.  I cannot file share.  On XP desktop, the Vista notebook does not show up in the networked computer map.
    On the Vista notebook, I can see the desktop on the network, but if I click on it, I get:
    Windows cannot access //basementpc.  Error code: 0x80070035.  The network path was not found.
    Suspecting my new router, I hooked back up my old router, and everything works fine.  So I hooked up the new router again, and continued to try to figure this out.  I notice one thing strange.
    If I run ipconfig on the desktop, it says that it's IP is 192.168.0.105.  If I view the DHCP table on the router, it says the desktop IP is 192.168.0.106.  I'm pretty sure these numbers should match, and I'm not sure why they don't.  They match when I've got my old router hooked up.
    I can view the shared folders of the desktop from the notebook if I open a browser and type in the IP of the desktop (using the IP number reported from ipconfig, not the IP number from the DHCP table).
    I've done a few things to try to get things working:
    Turned off all firewalls on both machines, including the router firewall.
    I've done an ipconfig /flushdns on both machines
    I've done an ipconfig /release on both machines
    I've reset the router, turned off wireless security (for testing purposes)
    The firmware on the router appears to be the latest v5.00.38. 
    How can I get file sharing to work properly?  Not to mention printer sharing would be nice, but one step at a time!
    Thanks,
    Joe.

  • File Sharing over IPsec with RV220W

    Hello all,
    Ultimately, the issue is that I have two RV220Ws with an IPsec VPN tunnel between them that appears to be up but that I can't seem to get folder sharing going over. Here's the background.
    I originally had two Netgear FVS318s set up with a VPN tunnel and everything worked as expected. I could connect to the server at the office from a machine at home and browse the files and more importantly do nightly backups of files that had changed at the office over the VPN to the house. The problem with the FVS318s was that for wireless I had to have another device and that the WAN to LAN throughput was something like 7Mbps. Kind of limiting when you consistently get 22Mbps from the ISP.
    So, I bought two Cisco RV220Ws to replace them with. I started by replacing the one at home and was able to get it going with the FVS318 at the office. The VPN was stable and I had no problem browsing the files on the server as I had already been doing. A couple weeks later I replaced the FVS318 at the office with the other RV220W and the VPN came up fine but I lost all ability to file share between the two sites. I've watched the phase 1 and 2 negotiations and they look good from both ends. Looking at the IPsec Connection Status shows IPsec SA Established. I know that the tunnel is there because I can ping various machines at the other site from either end. I've tried just about everything I can think of but I just can not get file sharing going. The other issue is that while I can ping each of the RV220Ws from either end, when I try to hit the distant end's management console through a web browser, I get the initial SSL certificate warning that I click proceed on and then it just sits there spinning trying to load the management console on the distant RV220W. With the FVS318s I could hit the distant end management consoles via browser. So, here's more detail.
    Site: Home
    Subnet: 192.168.1.x
    Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
    Site: Office
    Subnet: 10.2.10.x
    Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
    I know the difference between my static (inbound IP) and my gateway (outbound IP)
    I tried creating firewall access rules by defining services as follows:
    FS-TCP: 135 - 139 TCP
    FS-UDP: 135 - 139 UDP
    SMB-TCP: 445 TCP
    SMB-UDP: 445 UDP
    Then the firewall access rules as follows (I'll just give a couple examples so you'll get the gist)
    Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
    Action: Always allow
    Service: SMB-TCP
    Source IP: Single IP
    Start: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the gateway IP of the distant end at home)
    Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
    When that wasn't working, I created another set of rules for the internal IPs of the distant end as follows:
    Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
    Action: Always allow
    Service: SMB-TCP
    Source IP: Address Range
    Start: 192.168.1.1
    Finish: 192.168.1.254
    Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
    I also enabled Remote Management of the RV220W as:
    Access Type: Single IP address
    IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (gateway IP of the distant end at home)
    Port 443
    When that didn't work, I created two additional firewall rules for port 443 for the home gateway IP and the internal 192.168.1.x IPs. Still no go.
    So this is where I'm stuck. In the FVS318s I did not have to create any firewall rules for the VPN traffic. I started off with no rules for the RV220W because I didn't expect it'd need them and then I began adding the firewall rules in order to troubleshoot. Here's the funny thing. If I drop the FVS318 back into place at the office site, it all works as expected.
    So where do I go from here guys? About the only thing I haven't done is burn down the VPN tunnel in the RV220Ws and I haven't done that because I can ping hosts on either end and if I drop the FVS318 back into place it works fine. I'm totally stumped and would sincerely appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. If you need additional configuration information, I can provide that.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for answering, I was beginning to worry nobody had any idea how to help.
    The IP subnets did not change on either end.
    I am using the IP address to map. Critical machines are either static IP or reserved in DHCP and are all in the IP range of the VPN Policy.
    I can ping distant end machines in both directions by IP through the tunnel but I can not ping by hostname. I do not have NETBIOS enabled on the VPN policy. I'm using OpenDNS on both sides, so when I try to ping the hostname of the server I get the opendns.com IP back because it couldn't resolve the IP of the hostname during the lookup.
    Sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately, one end is at home, the other at my wife's business. During the day, I'm at work on the other side of town from both.

  • File Sharing works only with Firewall inactive

    I used to share files with an Xp Pc with no problem on my wifi network. When I upgraded to SL even though I see the pc in finder and the file sharing option is active I can access to my pc only if i stop the firewall.
    Bye

    Are you behind a router with a good firewall? If yes, there is no reason to use the Sno firewall. I only use it when on a public network--where I won't be doing any file sharing anyway.

  • File Sharing Office Docs With Windows PCs

    I just upgraded my work computer, 24" iMac (pre-aluminum), to Leopard. At first I was thrilled to see the new file-sharing options in Leopard, as my computer has many company files shared. Before I was using a program called "Sharepoints" to share the files. That program does not work on Leopard.
    Unfortunately, shortly after setting up the shared directory, I began getting complaints that people could not access the files in the shared folder. Here's what was happening:
    They can get into the directory, and even open up the files (in this case it is excel files).
    They can edit them, but when they save them they get the following error:
    "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
    But they cannot open it again.
    When they try to open it again they get the following error: "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
    I can open and edit the document just fine on my iMac.
    What I have noticed is that it appears to change some permissions of that file when they save it, but only on my username it now says "Custom" instead of "Read/Write". If I go to the parent folder, change the permissions back to what they were before, and apply changes to all enclosed items, they can open the file again and save it once (just like above).
    What's the problem? We really need these files shared.

    I just submitted an official bug report to Apple which I will reproduce below. I hope this helps someone somewhere.
    Summary:
    After upgrading (erase and install) my 24" non-aluminum iMac to Leopard, I am unable to share files with other people on the business network. The main culprit appears to be MS Office files.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Choose the folder I want to share in System Preferences > Sharing > Folders.
    2) Apply the appropriate permissions to the folder: (Me) -> Read & Write; owner -> Read & Write; staff -> Read & Write; everyone -> Read & Write;
    3) Turn on SMB sharing and check the appropriate accounts.
    4) Attempt to access an Excel file with Office from a networked Windows PC.
    Expected Results:
    Sharing should be normal. Other computers should be able to access, edit, and save all files as if the shared directory were on their own computer.
    Actual Results:
    5) File opens fine, edits normally, but upon save it issues this error:
    (Office 2002): "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
    (Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
    6) Document will not reopen again and if you try it gives following error:
    (Office 2002): "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
    (Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
    Regression:
    When examining the permissions on my computer after someone else has accessed and saved it (with Office 2002), my permissions are changed to this: (Me) -> "Custom". If I change the permissions back to normal, recursively, the entire process can be repeated.
    If I create a rtf file and save it to the shared folder, it appears that it does not suffer from this problem. This leads me to think that perhaps it is an Office files only issue. Somehow Office is making changes to the permissions when it saves the file (in Office 2002), or does not understand the permissions (Office 2007). The problem exists with Excel, Word, and Powerpoint files.
    Notes:
    Related problem -- When I create an excel file from another Windows PC and put it in the shared directory on my Mac, I am unable to edit the file from my Mac. The permissions for the file are as follows: nobody -> Read & Write; staff -> Read only; everyone -> Read only.

  • File Sharing (Read & Write) with a Network User - "Network User" Not Listed

    My boyfriend and I both have Macs, running 10.6.3. Both Macs are connected to the internet via Apple Wireless Express. I have a MacBook Pro, and my boyfriend has an iMac with a big fancy screen, so I like to use for my own work when I'm at home and he isn't - it's just easier and more comfortable to use than a laptop.
    I would like to find a way to use his computer to access a shared folder on my laptop with read & write access (so that I can modify the files on my laptop while using his computer). I have gotten to the point where I have a folder on my laptop with the files I want shared with his computer, and can access this folder from his computer. However, doing it this way (accessing my files on my laptop from his computer) only allows read-only access. I would like to be able to edit the files that are on my laptop using his computer, so I think I would need read and write access.
    It seems the easiest way to do this would be to add a user (the boyfriend) on my laptop and give him read/write access to this specific folder that is located on my laptop. I found instructions on how to do this, and it says that I need to add a "network user". These instructions seem to indicate that when I add a user, there should be options for accounts on my laptop, my personal address book, a new account on my laptop, and network users. I see the first 3 options...but no option to add a network user.
    Why is that? How would I make it so that from my laptop, I can add a network user...specifically my boyfriend's computer, who also uses the same internet network that I use?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    Also found this behavior:
    While logged into the Mac Pro as MPUser1, I connect to the MacBook Pro file sharing as MBPUser1.
    Then I "disconnect".
    Then I log out of the Mac Pro MPUser1, and login as MPUser2.
    The connection to MBP as MBPUser1 is still active!
    This means that MPUser2 can access whatever MBPUser1 can access WITHOUT knowing MBPUser1's login password !
    This seems WRONG! Anybody else seen this?

  • Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

    I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances.  Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
    for instance:
    A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
    using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
    after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end.  Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
    apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
    any thoughts or suggestions?
    I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

    Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
    I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
    Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
    My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.

  • Disk File Sharing Switching from with base station password to with account

    Ok, here's the situation. I have an external hard drive, with multiple partitions, connected to an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and it is currently protected using the "With Base Station Password" option. I would like to switch that to the "With Account" option but when I do the files that are located on the disk no longer appear when a user connects. It will also work fine if I use the "With a disk password" option. So I am not sure why the files are disappearing for the users when they connect. Is there something that I am missing and is it possible to make the change.

    I have the same issue.
    Plus, in my case, two disks appear on my desktop, even though I have no partition. One is named the same as my disk, the other is named the same as the user account for the disk on the Airport Extreme.

  • File sharing to Windows with XServe as Domain Member

    I have an XServe (10.4.3 server) that I am attempting to use as a new fileserver on an established Windows network (with SBS2000 on the old Windows server).
    I had the XServe as a standalone server, and set up some folders to share, and used WGM to share them. This worked, but of course windows users accessed as guests, as they weren't identified properly.
    I changed the XServe to be a domain member, and after a little hassle got this working, but now "Sharing" in WGM is greyed out, so I cannot mess with the shares (i.e. I cannot add or remove shares, or change the attributes of those folders that I have already shared).
    How do I manipulate shares on a server which is a domain member?

    Wow - 3 posts in my own thread - it just shows how much of a nuisance beginners can be. Sorry.
    My issue, it turns out, was between the chair and the keyboard. I was connecting to the server using its Rendezvous name, not its domain name. (an easy mistake to make, in my case, as both start with the server name, and both end in local).
    When WGM is connected to the renezvous name, the sharing tab is greyed out, when connected via the domain name, it works splendidly.
    Sorry to bother you all, and I leave this here just in case others are as stupid as me, and therefore my solution may help them.

  • File Sharing website compatible with Mac OS 8.6

    OK, after restarting my PowerMac 7500/100 (running Mac OS 8.6) I was able to get on the internet. Now are there any sites that anyone knows of that I can upload all of my files so I can download them onto my MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.5). Ability to store 1 GB should work.
    Thanx,

  • Has anyone with Windows successfully set up "Accounts" disk file sharing?

    I bought an Airport Extreme basestation (the one with Wifi-N and gigabit ethernet)a few days ago and set it up on the network.
    So far the wifi part has been nice - the range and speed (and stability) are a lot better than the Belkin draft-N wifi I had been using.
    I've also been able to share a few FAT-32 USB disks (Iomega brand) using the "with device password" option and it seems to work nicely in this mode.
    But what I really want to do is setup access by the "with a disk password" and via "accounts" - but after several hours of troubleshooting and checking on the Internet, I get the impression that neither work.
    For example, when I am sharing the disks in Device mode, I can connect to the IP from windows explorer and access using any user name and the device password. This works great.
    When I set it to "Disk" mode - it doesn't work at all - no matter what user name and password are used. I tried using both the disk and device password. I get a windows error "... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..." which is consistent with the user and password authentication failure. I have the same experience when setting the disk sharing for "Account" mode.
    Repeated rebooting of the Airport Extreme and Laptop did not help at all. I also tried after killing the Airport utility/assistant that sits in the task bar as it seems useless. The results are the same with the utility activated or not.
    A few more details:
    I have the Airport Extreme in 'bridge' mode - the IP is generated by a broadband router connected to a cable modem. I updated the firmware from the 7.2.1 that came installed to the latest (7.3.2).
    I read on the Internet a number of posts from both Mac and Windows users reporting bugs in the security software on the airport for filesharing. So my question is - has anyone with a Windows (XP, vista, etc) gotten the file sharing to work with anything other than Device mode? Eg. Disk mode, Account mode, etc?
    I know several people that use these devices, but nobody is using in this mode. I talked 2 friends to try setting up users and they couldn't get it to work either. But it's not a big deal to them since they don't use that feature.
    If anyone is using it like this, I'd like to know how you set it up. If you had this problem and what you did to fix it. Thanks!

    I suspect I may never know why, but now, inexplicably, everything is working.
    Out of curiosity, I tried to connect via an older win2000 machine that we use for a file server and it worked!
    After we rebooted the other XP machines, they started working too.
    I'm sure the fix was anything but connecting a win2000 machine, but I'm just happy it works now!

  • Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders

    I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
    I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
    I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
    To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.

    1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
    When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
    2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
    Goto system preferernces-->accounts
    click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
    Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
    3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
    If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
    I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
    have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
    My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel.

  • Windows 7 and Mac 10.5 network file sharing

    I am having extreme difficulties sharing files over my home network! I have 3 PCs and one Mac. I have tried the Mac forums and the Windows forums, to no avail.
    On the Mac side:
    File Sharing is ON, with smb
    Users are set to Everyone with read/write privileges
    WINS has the correct Workgroup name
    Network Name has no spaces in it
    Shared my Desktop, Public Folder, Documents, and Shared folders (just to cover root folders and specific ones too)
    Mac gives an smb://xxx.xxx.x.x address and a local network accession "mycomputername.local," but I don't know what to do with either of these things. When I put the addresses into the Windows Run dialogue box or in Internet Explorer, they don't seem to recognize the path.
    Firewall is set to Allow All Incoming Connections
    Under the Shared location in Finder, I can see my router name, and if I click on it, I can connect. No password is required. I am connected as my account name. However, I can't see the PC or anything at all, in fact.
    Under the Shared location in Finder, I can see my shared name for my Mac. But I cannot connect to it, probably because I'm connecting from my Mac.
    It would be nice to use the smb://DNSname/sharename or the smb://IPaddress/sharename function in the Go to Server window, but I have no idea where to find this information on my PC. Or on the network. Or whatever this is referring to.
    On the PC:
    Sharing is NOT password protected under Advanced Sharing Options
    I am sharing my Desktop and My Documents with Everyone and Guest, and Windows 7 has provided a file://computername/Users/foldername path. However, when I put this into the Connect to Server or Connect to File window, there is an error.
    I can click on my Mac computer name in the Network window, but I get the error message that it cannot connect (network path cannot be found, using \\MYMACNAME as the path). This is when my Mac says it is "connected" when I click on the router in Finder's Shared places.
    Of course both the Mac and the PC have full connectivity to the same network.
    Also, I have disabled the internal firewall in the Belkin router.
    Also, my accounts have identical names with no spaces.
    My Mac (10.5) DID successfully connect to Windows XP before I upgraded.
    Any advice? Thanks guys!!
    P.S. -- I have also posted to the Windows people here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/thread/b5144e55-d024- 401c-85ae-1cf94226b786

    Win 7: Network sharing settings are correct for Home or Work (current profile). I left my Public alone, but verified that my network is recognized as a Home location.
    User accounts exist in both the Mac and PC. Names are the same. Heck, passwords match and I'm logged into the same account on each computer, just in case.
    Firewalls are scary to me, so I did the best I could. I went to my browser, typed in my router IP address, and went to the DHCP Client List. Both of the computers were listed with their assigned IP addresses. I "reserved" those IP addresses so they the router would always assign that IP address to that MAC address (so I could count on it in the future). It turns out that they are sequentially assigned, so I figured that if I added any more devices (my other PC, the PS3, etc.) those IP addresses would just be +1 to the last digit cluster in the IP address.
    Then I went to Windows Firewall, because I don't have a third-party firewall. I confirmed that I was connected to the Home network, and then clicked Advanced Settings. Wow, there's a lot of rules! There were multiple File and Printer Sharing rules (both inbound and outbound), so I didn't mess with them. Instead, I created a Custom Rule (bot inbound and outbound) for all programs, any protocols and all ports, and added the IP address range (192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.9, giving myself plenty of extra for future devices) I found from above to the local and remote IP Address boxes. I specified to Allow the Connection for Domain, Public and Private, and gave it a name that started with A so I could find it easily in the future. Finally, I set the Interface Type to be LAN and Wireless (my PC is wirelessly connected).
    In OS X, in the Firewall tab of the Security preference, I set it to Allow all incoming connections. File Sharing (SMB) is the first name on the list, but I cannot click on it or modify it in any way. I don't know what else to do. Am I missing something?
    I've shared My Music and Desktop on the Win 7 for Everyone (not just the Homegroup!), and shared My Documents and Desktop for Everyone to read/write on the Mac.
    Okay, now I need to reboot on both computers. brb...
    Wow, definitely don't reserve any IP addresses on your router! I took that setting off, restarted everything, reset the modem and router, and I can now connect both computers to the internet.
    I can still connect to the Windows via the Connect to Server dialogue and smb://AJPC.
    In Windows Network, I can now see my Mac user account name, but when double-clicking on it I get the error message "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName. 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." Under "Details," it says Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found." When I diagnose, Troubleshooting can't identify the problem.
    Any advice? Thanks for your help guys!
    A side note: I just checked my router's DHCP client list, and my PC is now connecting at 192.168.2.8, which is definitely not sequential. Good thing I specified the IP Address range all the way to 192.168.2.9 just in case; apparently the router can't count.

  • Importing RAW files with keywords from Bridge

    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded the trial version of Aperture and have now imported RAW files (Canon 20D) with keywords and IPTC data applied via Bridge.
    The import of the RAW files was no problem however the files lacked the keywords and IPTC data, which I applied in Bridge.
    I also tried to import JEPG files and here Aperture could show me keywords and IPTC data.
    Why does this not work for RAW files? What do I have to do in order to get it to work?
    Thanks in advance for your advise
    /David

    When you add metadata (keywords etc.) to most proprietary raw formats (including Canon .CR2 files), Bridge doesn’t know how to embed that data in to the file—Canon and other manufacturers haven’t told Adobe (or anyone else) what the structure of these raw files is and how metadata can be stored within the file itself. Therefore, Bridge creates a ‘sidecar’ file to go with the raw file: the sidecar file sits alongside the raw file, with the same filename and a .xmp extension. This sidecar file contains any metadata you may have applied, as well as adjustments you have made in Adobe Camera Raw.
    Unfortunately, Aperture doesn’t read these sidecar files when importing raw files, so you lose any adjustments from ACR (not surprising, since Aperture is obviously a different raw converter to ACR so the adjustments would be different anwyay), but also you lose any metadata you may carefully have applied.
    There may be an answer, however. But it’ll cost. That would be to use iView Media Pro (which has recently been bought by Microsoft, but a Mac version still exists). There is a 21-day free trial for iVMP—since my suggestion is to use it as a temporary conduit for importing all your existing raw files into Aperture, you won’t necessarily have to pay the £129 GBP asking price for iVMP (others can debate the morality of that statement, however; fortunately I already owned iVMP and so didn’t have to worry about such things). I believe iVMP can read the XMP sidecar files created by Bridge. Create a new iVMP catalogue with all your raw files which you want to move into Aperture. It should bring all your existing metadata into the iVMP catalogue as well.
    Then, import all the raw files into Aperture. As you have found, they’ll be without any metadata. As long as the filenames are the same in both the iVMP catalogue and the Aperture library, you can use Adam Tow’s application Annoture to transfer metadata from the iVMP catalogue into the Aperture library.
    Sort of circuitous, but possible. If only Aperture read the metadata from those sidecar files, eh? If I’m wrong in thinking that iVMP imports the XMP metadata, then what you can do is get Bridge to convert all your .CR2 raw files into .DNG files. If you don’t know about DNG, read about it at Adobe. But briefly, Bridge is able to embed its metadata into the DNG files and iVMP is able to read that embedded metadata when importing DNG files into the catalogue. I know that for certain: I used iVMP and DNG files (from my own 20D) before using Aperture; when I started using Aperture (which I love, now) I used Annoture to transfer all my metadata from iVMP into Aperture.
    Perhaps someone else will explain this better than I.
