Files saved to iomega NAS device from Mac not visible to PCs

I'm using my MacBook in a primarily Windows environment at work. We have an Iomega NAS device for our network file sharing.
Some, but not all, of the files I save to the network share from my Mac are not visible to PCs. Am able to see all the files out there saved by the PCs via the Mac, but not all files saved by the Mac are visible by PCs (ie, they show up in Finder/Mac but not in Explorer/PC).
Details:
- Mac OS X 10.6.2
- iomega StorCenter ix2 Network Storage Device (NAS)
- Netgear Router (details unknown)
All other network works fine from the Mac -- can see shared PCs, can use network attached printer, access the Internet, see all the shared folders on the NAS device.
Happens with all types of files (MS Office documents, JPGs, GIFs, PDFs), but not for every documents. Probably 3 out of 4 documents saved to NAS device from Mac are visible to PCs on the network, and 1 out of 4 is not visible.
Any ideas? Thanks.

OS X 10.4.8 update has not altered the behavior of this bug. The Office 2004 11.30 update seems to have caused the problem to happen less frequently. I would say it now happens half as frequently.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

Running Apache with html files on a mounted NAS device

Hi. I am hoping someone could help me out. I have been pulling my hair out for the past 2 days.
I am running Arch v0.8. I have very few packages installed -- I started with base install and added Apache, MySql, PHP, Samba and a few others.
Configuration:
- I have apache running as user=apache, group=apache. I changed this from nobody:nobody in httpd.conf.
- I have a Buffalo TerraStation on my lan. It is called edge_nas. It has a share called "linux".
- I successfully mounted the Buffalo share using the following entry in fstab:
//edge_nas/linux /mnt/edge_nas smbfs username=apache,password=theapachepassword,gid=apache 0 0
- I created a soft link in /home which points /home/httpd to /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd.
- I want my web files on the Buffalo NAS device because it is raid 5.
Problem:
- Root is able to read and write anywhere on /mnt/edge_nas.
- Apache can read /mnt/edge_nas.
- Apache can write in its home directory on /mnt/edge_nas/home/apache.
- Apache cannot write in any other directory (especially /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd/html).
Question:
- How do I grant apache read/write access to the html root?
Any ideas? Please be gentle.
Thank you for your help.

Please layout a clear step by step of what you did. That might make it easier to help you.
Ok. From the top...
On the Buffalo NAS (edge_nas):
- I logged into the Buffalo web-based admin screen.
- I created a new share called linux.
- I created a new user called apache.
- I granted read/write access to apache on the linux share.
On Arch Linux:
- I logged in locally as root.
- I created a new user apache, in group apache.
- I created a new directory called /mnt/edge_nas.
- I mounted the Buffalo share using the following entry in fstab:
//edge_nas/linux /mnt/edge_nas smbfs username=apache,password=theapachepassword,gid=apache 0 0
- I changed apache to run as apache:apache. I changed this from nobody:nobody in httpd.conf.
- In /home/httpd, I created a softlink for /home/httpd/html, pointing it to /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd/html.
- I chmod 777 /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd/html.
- I restarted apache.
- I created a summy index.html in that directory to ensure apache can see the mount.
To test it out:
- I logged into arch locally as my apache user.
- I cd'ed to /home/httpd/html.
- I tried to create a new text file with vi.
- I cannot open the text file for write.
I hope that helps. Please excuse any misuse of terminology.
Thanks.

Why is my iPad pages file saved as a jpg on my mac?

Why us my iPad pages file saved as a jpg on my MAC after transfer?

I am un-employed therefore I can't afford an iPad but, I vaguely remember the propaganda saying you could transfer these documents via iCloud.
I guess this is called iWork.com now

Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least.

About the error: "The account is not authorized to login from this station" when you access NAS devices from Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926)

Scenario:
With the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926), some users may encounter an error message of “The account is not authorized to login from this station” when trying to access remote files saved in NAS storage. In
addition, the following error log may also be found via Event Viewer:
Rejected an insecure guest logon.
This event indicates that the server attempted to log the user on as an unauthenticated guest but was denied by the client. Guest logons do not support standard security features such as signing and encryption. As a result,
guest logons are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that can expose sensitive data on the network. Windows disables insecure guest logons by default. Microsoft does not recommend enabling insecure guest logons.
Background:
The error message is due to a change we made in Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926) which is related to security and remote file access that may affect you.
Previously, remote file access includes a way of connecting to a file server without a username and password, which was termed as “guest access”.
With guest access authentication, the user does not need to send a user name or password.
The security change is intended to address a weakness when using guest access. While the server may be fine not distinguishing among clients for files (and, you can imagine in the home scenario that it doesn’t
matter to you which of your family members is looking at the shared folder of pictures from your last vacation), this can actually put you at risk elsewhere. Without an account and password, the client doesn’t end up with a secure connection to the server.
A malicious server can put itself in the middle (also known as the Man-In-The-Middle attack), and trick the client into sending files or accepting malicious data. This is not necessarily a big concern in your home, but can be an issue when you take your
laptop to your local coffee shop and someone there is lurking, ready to compromise your automatic connections to a server that you can’t verify. Or when your child goes back to the dorm at the university. The change we made removes the ability to connect
to NAS devices with guest access, but the error message which is shown in build 9926 does not clearly explain what happened. We are working on a better experience for the final product which will help people who are in this situation.
As a Windows Insider you’re seeing our work in progress; we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.
Suggestion:
You may see some workarounds (eg. making a registry change restores your ability to connect with guest access).
We do NOT recommend making that change as it leaves you vulnerable to the kinds of attacks this change was meant to protect you from.
The recommended solution is to add an explicit account and password on your NAS device, and use that for the connections. It is a one-time inconvenience,
but the long term benefits are worthwhile. If you are having trouble configuring your system, send us your feedback via the Feedback App and post your information here so we can document additional affected scenarios.

PSD files saved for web and devices show up as broken when opened Dreamweaver. How can this be fixed?

PSD layouts saved for web and devices show up as broken links in dreamweaver. Previews in browsers are fine, but I keep getting and error message that says the files have been blocked. What is the fix for this?

You can also try out Project Parfait. It's a new experiment from Adobe that’s currently online and free to try out and use.

Exported files from mac not recognised in windows

I am finding that files saved as either .PSD and .JPEG on my Mac PSE9 won't open in CS4 on Windows. CS4 says it does not recognise the file.
I recently upgraded to Lion and I did not have the problem before then.
Anybody else have this problem?

Apple no longer includes Rosetta with OS X Lion - drivers, plug-ins, requiring Rosetta will not work.
You could stay with Snow Leopard, or update the software/drivers, to make them run on OS X 10.6.7

CS5 Indesign file from mac not opening on a pc

Greetings, I have an Indesign CS5 file from mac that i can't open on a pc. I made a package on my mac first, and then send it through wetransfer to my email. when i open it on the pc with a same version it says i need to upgrade my version first, which i already did and still didn't work. Could somebody help me please?

What version do you have on the PC? CS5 files should open in CS5, CS5.5 and CS6. Perhaps the file is really a CS5.5 or CS6 file? You can find out using Jongware's script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File

Erasing a device from Mac

How do I erase an iPod device from my Mac? (I can only update three devices so wish to remove one which has been updated previously.)

It will only erase the phone and remove it from the iCloud account. It won't erase the iCloud account itself. If it's your iCloud account with your email address and credentials (and not the company's), you will be able to sign into the account on your new phone. (If the account belongs to the company, they will probably delete the data in the account and/or reset the password so it can no longer be accessed by you.)

Files (music/videos) sync between devices and Mac

Hi all. Hope you would be able to help.
I have iOS devices (iPhone and iPod touch) and a Macbook Pro. Basically, I would like to sync all my media files to my iPod touch (i.e. all my music and videos) but only a few albums to my iPhone (due to limited iPhone storage and its main use being for other apps and communication).
Sync between Macbook Pro and iPod touch is perfectly fine and straight forward - just syncing all files between the 2. However, when I connect my iPhone to the Macbook Pro, I know there is an option which I can sync specific albums but if I connect the iPhone the second time, will the Macbook Pro recognizes that there are only a few albums in my iPhone and decides to wipe out the rest of the albums in the music library? I just want to make sure that the Macbook Pro recognizes the 2 devices as 2 "separate devices" and I am able to sync how many files I want for specific devices whilst my Macbook Pro preserves all the media files. Can anyone guide me how to make sure the above operation on iTunes?
Many thanks.

I was just looking at this again and noticed something strange.
Under the iCloud section of the Settings on my iPad, I don't have a "Documents and Data" option. Essentially, every time I use a program that wants to access iCloud for documents, that program's individual settings are reset to not use iCloud.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again for any help.

Please help my flv video file works perfectly localy...but its not visible in remote ftp why??

This suggestion worked to see the hidden folder(s). Thanks very much, but I feel like I am miles away from moving my ipod music to my new computer and getting it all to work. Here is why...
1. First when I plug the ipod in, in disk mode, to the USB slot it shows up as a K drive for a minute or so and then disappears. itunes keeps opening, asking me to sync (which will erase all my music on the ipod!) and the K drive (ipod) vanishes.
2. I pod help says to drag the itunes file out to the desktop and then drag the itunes file on the ipod into the "my music" file within documents and settings. However, there is an "ipod control" file (was hidden) and within this there is the following: artwork, itunes (with 13 subfolders of its own), device, and music. So do I just drag the itunes file inside ipod control into My music? Or do I drag the whole ipod control file? or other?
3. Additionally there are K drive (ipod) files for calendar, photos, contacts, notes, and ipod control (was hidden). I don't care about any content in the first four, but are they needed to operate? Do I drag these over also to the My music file?
Whew, very frustrating. Thanks, Ric

Paid Down Payment Request from 2007 not visible in 8.8

Hello experts:
I recently upgraded a customer from 2007 to 8.8, and an existing fully paid down payment request is now not visible anymore in the "incoming payment" window due to some of the changes in 8.8. But I also cannot reconcile the transaction because paid down payment requests cannot be reconciled.
I tried to cancel the incoming payment in order to apply it differently, but that also fails with a strange error message ("Cannot cancel payment: One of the credit notes has been deleted. [3524-6]").
I could create a JE to transfer the balance from the liabilities account to the asset account within the BP, then reconcile the two transactions in the asset account, and effectively having zero balance in the liabilities account, but I'd like to reconcile the two transactions in the liabilities account as well, so that they're really closed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Joerg.

Thanks for your reply Jitin.
My issue is related to A/R, so the mentioned query doesn't turn up any results. However, a few minutes ago, the same issue appeared in A/P, so I tried the query again, with no luck.
I will proceed to log a support message and post back with the solution.
Thanks,
Joerg.

Mail send from iPhone not visible from Macbook

Any mail I sent from my iPhone (latest OS) is not visible from my Macbook Pro (latest OS) in the sent box.
I need this to be fixed. How? I have read through the forums and there seems to be no fix to this. And yes, I have everything configured properly (ie. to keep sent messages on server, etc).
Any help to fix this would be appreciated as I need to access all my emails for work from my computer.

Please ignore the above . I have discovered what I did wrong - but don't know how to delete the question!
Sorry
