Finder cannot see synology drive

With the upgrade to Lion, I cannot see all the files, some but not all, on my synology diskstation. Time machine works but one folder appears messed up in finder. All files look fine on the diskstation.

Hi, a couple of ideas...

Finder cannot see AirPort Time Machine drives

I'm running OS X 10.9.4 on a MacBook Air (2 GB memory, 64 GB SSD storage).
I'm using an AirPort Time Capsule (with Time Machine) as my router and backup. I have an additional hard drive connected to the USB port on my AirPort Time Capsule.
For over a year the entire configuration has worked well: Backups are done, and I can access both the AirPort Time Capsule internal hard drive and the external hard drive from my MacBook Air, and from any other device on the network.
For the past few weeks, Finder (on my MacBook Air) sometimes cannot see either drive (internal or external) on the AirPort Time Capsule. Backups are still okay, and PCs are still able to access and use both drives on the AirPort Time Capsule. Also, software on my MacBook Air CAN see and use the drives. For example, if I have a photo on one of those drives that I want to post on Facebook, the "finder" window that appears when I click "Upload Photos/Video" (on Facebook) sees the drives, and can upload the photo from the drives. The ONLY time I cannot see the drives is when I try to access them with Finder. (See photos.)
At first, Finder occasionally could not see the drives, or sometimes it took a minute or two to see the drives. Now, Finder generally cannot see the drives, no matter how long I wait. My PCs, and ALL SOFTWARE on the MacBook Air CAN ALWAYS see the drives. Also, Finder can ALWAYS see ALL THE OTHER shared drives on the network (on the PCs, for example), even when it cannot see the drives on the AirPort Time Capsule.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Using Facebook:

With the shared folder open, select

Cannot see hard drives on airport extreme

Recently I cannot see hard drives on the network that are connected through Airport Extreme . The airport Extreme can see the drives, but the network cannot. I have not changed any settings that I know of. Only a reset of my macbook pro running Mavericks allows me to gives me access to the drives. Airport utility 6.3.2

+I will check when I get home. How do I do that?+
Connect the drive directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Then open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the drive in left hand panel and look for information at the bottom of the window about the disk
Your drive may be formatted as Windows NFTS. If that's the case, you will need to reformat the drive to work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. Be sure to copy any data that you need to another drive (maybe twice to be sure) before you do this as the reformat will erase all data on the drive.
When you are ready, click the Erase tab and then select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format so both PCs and Macs will be able to read the files.
Then copy a small test file back over to the FAT drive and plug the drive into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Restart everything on your network starting with the modem first, then device attached to the modem, etc.
On you Mac, open Macintosh HD and check to see if your AirPort Extreme icon appears under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. If so, click the icon and folder will appear to the right representing your drive. Double click this folder to reveal the contents and mount the drive on your desktop. You should see your test file. Make sure it is operable..music plays, video works, etc.
Sorry, I haven't used Windows in 3-4 years and cannot remember how to access drives, but I would start with My Computer and start poking around. You want to verify that your PC can access and play the files as well.
If everything is OK,you can copy all your backup files back onto the USB drive attached to the AirPort Extreme. Keep the extra backup copy handy for awhile, just in case as well.

Cannot see flash drive on finder

My cursor was moving over the flash drive icon in Finder.
I clicked on the icon. I think Finder believed I was trying to move the icon elsewhere.
The icon vanished in a puff of smoke.
Now I cannot see it on Finder.

Do you mean the sidebar in a Finder window? Dragging an item off that (I don't want to try with a drive to test, sorry) will result in it disappearing in a cloud. You can plug the flash drive in again to have it mount.

Leopard cannot see hard drive on any Mac running Tiger.

Running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 3GHz 4-core w/6GB RAM. I cannot connect to any hard drive / root directory on any Mac on my network running Tiger (10.4.9, .10 or .11) or OS9. Yes I have an Avid Meridian in the edit suite runing OS 9.2.2. No laughing please...
I can connect to the User folder on any Mac running Tiger but not any hard drives on any Mac running Tiger from a Mac running Leopard. The hard drive cannot be accessed from a User folder even if an alias of the Tiger drive is placed in the ~/User/Public folder.
The reverse works as usual. Any Mac running Tiger can see any hard drive on any networked Mac including Macs running Leopard.
Has anyone else encountered this issue &/or found a workaround? I spent almost 2 hours with Apple Tech Support including a system specialist. They confirmed this behavior in Leopard connected to Tiger OS Macs. Hard drives can be seen between all Macs running Leopard. It was theorized by one of the Apple techs that the behavior was engineered to encourage upgrading all Macs to Leopard. BAD idea! I requested this be reported to Apple engineering.
Tiger can see any drive on the network back to OS7. Leopard cannot see previous OS version hard drives.
TIA for replies.

I suggest that you repeat the external boot process with your MBP. If it boots the MBP, the internal SATA cable probably is faulty and should be replaced.
Ciao.

Leopard Mac cannot see hard drives on Tiger Macs

Download and read the documentation for Carbon Copy Cloner which is handy and what a lot of us have used over the years to clone, migrate and backup or manage drives and storage.
I think 500GB is overkill for boot drive as most of your apps and OS only need less than 150GB, and all of your data and media and home folders can be anywhere you want and not on the boot drive. Also, Apple way over charges for 2TB drives and no reason or value to do so. That is history now but fwiw.
You could I guess setup one 2TB as boot drive easy enough. Then migrate etc. Make that a backup of everything. Then manually or with CCC or other you can clone just what you want to SSD and to the other 2TB drive.
Apps should always go to the boot drive, the SSD in this case, and not to other locations. No benefit putting them elsewhere.
When you migrate are your files on TimeMachine or just standard files and folders? and can't selectively copy? Honestly never found need to use M.A. more than once probably.

Windows 8 Explorer cannot see NAS drive on WiFi connected laptop

I have several devices on my home network. Windows XP PC's, Windows 7 PC's, Android tablets, and 2 Windows 8 laptops. All the devices can see the harddrive attached to my WiFi router except for one of the Windows 8 laptops and I can't seem to figure
out a solution.
That laptop, compared to all the other devices, connects by a Wireless G adapter vs. Wirless N for everything else, but I don't think that's the problem.
It CAN access the NAS drive through Windows Media Player, however, only media in that case and not documents.
Why can it see the drive through WMP but not Explorer??? ...and what's the fix?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
The laptop has a Windows 8 32-bit upgrade installed.
Windows Explorer shows the Media access for the drive, but not the drive itself.

For a regedit newbie, can you please provide step-by-step details how to: "create a new DWORD entry with the name EnableLinkedConnections and value 1". Is this a new line to be
inserted? Thanks.
Below is my situation. I posted an earlier version of this query on Microsoft Community and was advised to move to here on Technet.
I am having trouble mapping
and connecting shared drives on my NAS using WiFi. I have three new Acer i5-4th Gen laptops running Windows 8 with Intel 7260-N WiFi cards and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 loaded. My NAS is also new. It is a Zyxel NSA325, replacing a
WD My Book World Edition. The hard drives from two such WD boxes went into the Zyxel. So I do not have another NAS on hand to test. My router is unchanged. It is a Netgear WNDR3700v1 pre-MIMO dual-band N-router.
One of the new Acers is a V7-482PG-6662. The other two laptops are M5-583P-6428 machines. The Acer V7 never had a problem with connections – neither via Ethernet nor via WiFi. Both
M5’s had troubles at first via WiFi. Then I got one to work. But the second Acer M5 stubbornly only connects reliably via Ethernet; the NAS only shows reliably under Network on File Manager when using Ethernet. Maybe one in five times that I reboot with WiFi,
can I see the NAS under Network on File Manager.
I also have an old Dell Win-7 Ultimate desktop. It has no problems connecting via shared drives to the NAS via WiFi. I also have an old WD TV-Live Plus attached via Ethernet that accesses
the NAS via Media Server, not via Network Shares. All PCs plus a Samsung Android Tablet can see / access the NAS reliably as a media server over WiFi.
I went through many, many recommendations from the internet, trying to fix the WiFi problem for the Acer M5s. For example:
Turn on various or all Advanced Network Sharing options, e.g., Discovery and File Sharing
Make sure that Client for Microsoft Networks is on
Set up and reset Windows Credentials for users
Enter net config server /autodisconnect:-1 as admin
Make sure that Network List Service is started on automatic (as well as not on)
Tried using Net Use commands to map the drive, but got error message 53s
Updated WiFi card drivers
Multiple cycles of closing down all network advanced sharing settings, then uninstalling and reinstalling network adapters via device manager, then opening up all network advanced sharing settings (as described
in the technet item: fix-for-cannot-access-nas-drives-sharefolder-is-not-accessible-or-error-code-0x80070035 ).
Various cycles and sequences of rebooting and leaving machines on with the hope that they would connect.
I have not tried any of the advice about reg editing or setting different MTU values. Most of such advice online dates from 2009. And it was not needed to get the one Acer M5 machine
working.
After cycling through the items above, the one Acer M5 started listing the NAS occasionally under Network in File Manager. At first this only happened in like 1 in 20 reboots. But
I started getting luckier. And after one round of closing down shares and reinstalling adapters, it started to work reliably. And has kept working ever since.
I now have the second Acer M5 connecting via WiFi in about one in five reboots. But this is not satisfactory. Normally, the NAS only shows under Network on File Manger, and only allows
drives to be mapped, when the laptop is connected via Ethernet. I tried comparing adapter settings between when using Ethernet and using WiFi (for example, that the same Microsoft LLDP protocols are ticked). I also put both Acer M5s side by side to compare
settings. I also tried repairing Windows 8 and reloading all Windows updates. But I have not thus far gone all the way back to a complete Windows 8 restore to factory conditions.
Advice, help please, thanks.
Wait for Win-8.1?

Cannot see network drives

I just installed a wireless-n router (WRT610N) and wireless Adapters (WMP600N). I can access the internet from all computers, but cannot see shared files or print from any computer. I've run the home network set up wizard and tried many things, but nothing works.
When I connected with Linksys online chat, I was told that I had to reformat all of my hard drives to fat32 (mine are all running NTFS). I can't believe this is true.
Is there any way I can see shared folders and drives with this hardware configuration? (without reformatting my drives)

Are you able to see the shared folder on the router ? If yes then, Once the set-up page appear, click Storage > Media Server and Enable the UPnP Media Server. Specify Folder to Scan button lets you select content to add to the database of the Router's Media Server. Once you click this button the Media Folder screen appears.Now Check the option Auto-scan click on Scan All and Click on Save Settings.
Now, On your computer go to My Network Places and you will able to see the shared files and folders.

Cannot see intrernal drive

Hi. I have my son's ibook g4. I can boot from an external drive, but cannot see the internal drive. It does not appear in Apple System Profiler. Further, while I can see the CD drive in the profiler, I cannot insert a disk so I cannot run a hardware test.
Is it possible that a CD is in the CD drive and I simply cannot see it?
Any ideas about the internal drive? Could the cable be bad?
Thanks
David

Is it possible that a CD is in the CD drive and I simply cannot see it?
Sure. Reboot the iBook while holding down the mouse 'clicker'. If there is a CD in the drive it will be ejected.

IMac Finder cannot see external hard drive but Disk Utility can

I have a WD external hard drive and it has been attached to my iMac for a year or two. About two months ago I upgraded to Lion 10.7.5 and hard drive still worked. Then suddenly about a week ago the iMac no longer sees the external hard drive in Finder.
I have connected the hard drive to the iMac with different USB cables and into different ports and it makes no difference so deduce there is no issues with the cables or the ports. I have connected the hard drive to an old Macbook and it can see the harddrive and read some of the info but I really need the hard drive attached to the iMac as I store all my music and photos on the external hard drive.
I read another thread and someone asked if you can see the hard drive in Disk Utility. I tried this and Disk Utility can see the hard drive.
What does this mean? Any suggestions as to how to get the iMac to see the hard drive so I can access the data on it?
I dont really know how Disk Utility works therefore if that is any help to me.
thanks

Open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar click Finder > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make sure: External disks is selected.

MMC cannot see network drives

I have just build several PCs with Windows 8.1 Pro for my team. I have a problem with mmc.exe - it cannot seem to see any network drives. When I try to save a custom console, the dialog box only presents the local drives. If I try to open a saved file from
a network drive, I get an error box saying:
"MMC cannot open the file Z:\test.msc.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient rights to access the file."
If I then move the MSC file to the local disk, it opens correctly.
I can confirm that my NTFS permissions are fine (I can open the MSC file from my Z: drive just fine on my old Windows 7 PC). No matter what I do, though, MMC on the new PCs simply doesn't acknowledge the existence of any network drives. No other programs
have problems with network drives - only MMC. The only thing I could find when searching for the problem was someone reporting the same symptom on Windows 7 after installing the RSAT tools, but there were no answers on that page. The RSAT tools are installed
on my machines, and I have tried uninstalling them, but it made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Iain

I think you are running into a situation due to User Account Control.
As you probablu know, UAC enforces administrators to run as a normal user by default, and 'elevate' to administrative privileges on a per process base. This measn that there are actually two user sessions: the user and the elevated one. each of those can
have it's own mapped network drives.
verify if this is the case by running bot a normal and an elevated command prompt and running
net use to show the mapped drives.
then on how to solve this... this behavior is by design and as expected. you should map your drives twice: once as user and once being elevated.
A possible workaround is to disable UAC, which I would not recommend as UAC is an important security boundary

Cannot see Logical Drive on SAN

I am a newbie when it comes to Oracle VM (XEN), so bear with me on this.
I created a new Logical Drive on my IBM DS4800 and gave access to my Oracle VM server which has QLogic HBAs. However, Oracle VM does not seem to see the Logical Drive.
I ran mppBusRescan, but I don't find anything. Even if I load mppUpper and mppVhba manually, I still can't find anything. And I know my SAN and fiber switch configuration is good because I had an ESX running on that server.
[root@val-cvvmora00 ~]# mppBusRescan
Starting new devices re-scan...
scan qla2 HBA host /sys/class/scsi_host/host4...
no new device found
scan qla2 HBA host /sys/class/scsi_host/host3...

The mppUpper driver module is not loaded. Cannot continue... /sys/class/mppUpper/mppUpper/dev error:No such file or directory

Hi
have you try echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan and then run udevtrigger -v.
You can see your active host with systool -c fc_host -v.
See if u have new logical drive

Photoshop CC (2014) cannot see network drives

I work on a PC running Windows 8.1 x64. Ever since the a Photoshop CC (2014) update a couple of months ago, my network drives are not directly accessible. I have two network drives, mapped as drives X: and Y:. If I work in Lightroom on a file that resides on my network drives and send it to Photoshop for further work, the file will not open in Photoshop. Additionally, I cannot drag-and-drop a file from Windows Explorer into Photoshop (from any drive). I get the circle with the slash through it showing it can't be done. And finally, Bridge, when I'm working in Photoshop CC (2014) cannot open a network drive image in Photoshop.If it is launched after Photoshop, it does not show the network drives. If it is launched before Photoshop, it shows the mapped drives, as I stated before, can't open a file into Photoshop.
Now for the mind blower. NONE of these things are an issue if I run the "older" Photoshop CC (i.e. - NOT the 2014), which fortunately, I still have on my system.
Thoughts or help? Thank you.

Cannot see ODBC driver as a data source

Hi
I've installed both the Win32 and Win64 11.2g clients on our Win2008R2sp1 server.
I can get my connection to test fine from c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe (the 32bit ODBC Admin panel), and from sqlplus and sqldeveloper (all on the "client_2" x32bit product).
I've set ORACLE_HOME to the 32bit product.
D:\>echo %ORACLE_HOME%
D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2
I have Strawberry Perl x32 installed and a x32bit VB Application. Neither will connect.
Perl...
D:\>perl -MDBI -le "my $h = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:dbase02',rouser,rouser); $h->disconnect()"DBI connect('dbase02','rouser',...) failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002) at -e line 1
On my App I get
S1000: [oracle]p[ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
As I've said, the System DSN is on the 32bit ODBC Panel and is 'test's fine from there.
Oddly enough I have a few identical servers where I'd set up connections that work fine, using the same setup. Could be we've had a patch that messed things up? Any ideas on how to get roud the SQL-IM002 or ORA-12560 error would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: on servers where we have a working System DSN, if I simply clone it (open existing, change TNS Name and Identified and Save) the cloned 'new' System DSN works fine. However if I create it from scratch it does not! So something is prohibiting me from creating new System DSN entries that are accepted/read by the ODBC Driver???
Many Thanks
Kieran

I've written a small test script to demonstrate the issue.
