  • Help! How do I re-map my main drive?

    I switched on my Powerbook this morning to be welcomed by the 'new Mac' screen, complete with registration form. None of my data was accessible at all. It has taken me a while to discover what happened - after much quizzing I've discovered that my young niece, the last person to use it, changed the name on the hard drive icon to her name, as a joke. She thought it would make it look as if the computer was hers. What it's done is to lose all the mappings to my files! I've tried just changing it back to what it was and re-booting again, but I still get the 'new Mac' screen. Does anyone know how to remap that drive, please? I have work to do, and I can't access anything at the moment! I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks.
    - Kitty.

    Thanks for your help, Cornelius. I was struggling to find advice in the Mac Help topics on my computer because I don't always know the correct term to search on. Eventually I did find it, and the solution was simple:
    "To correct a home folder whose name has been changed:
    1. Locate the User's folder on your hard disk and open it.
    2. Select the home folder with the original short user name and the home icon. This folder usually contains a Desktop folder and a Library folder. Add "_new" to the end of the name so that you can distinguish it later.
    3. Select the regular folder that has the name you used when you changed your original home folder. This folder should contain items you would expect to find in your original home folder, such as your Pictures folder, Documents folder, and so on. Change the name of this folder back to the original short user name.
    4. Log out, then log in again and verify that items are back where they belong."
    It worked very well, and the whole thing is a useful lesson learned - I need to keep a closer eye on what my niece is doing with my Powerbook!
    Thanks again.
    - Kit.

  • LabVIEW for Mapping of Network Drives with Error Handling

    Is there a way to do the following easily in LabVIEW?
    - List drive letters and network paths of existing mapped drives on host PC
    - Check if a desired mapped drive is connected and if its disconnected reconnect to it
    - Receive related errors that may occur during attempting a connection to a mapped drive (i.e. path cannot be found, etc...)
    I know how to do most of this in VBScript but I'd like to avoid having ANY code for the work I'm doing be "non-G"!
    Thanks for your time!

  • Quality of India map in Here Drive

    Hi,
    I just wanted to know the quality of the maps of Here Drive from users in India.  I currently use a MapMyIndia device to navigate while driving.  Are the Here Drive maps as detailed as the maps of MapMyIndia?  In other words, once i buy the Nokia Lumia 820, will i be able to substitute my current navigation device with the Here Drive app of Nokia for regulat navigation.
    More importantly, how often are the maps in Here Drive updaed?  MapMyIndia updates it maps every 6 months.
    Thank you for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Thank you for replying.  Can you help me with answering the following additional questions:
    1. Is there deep integration between Contact and Here Drive i.e. If i have the complete address of one of my business contacts in my phone book and i want to drive to that place, is there an option in the Contact card itself which does something to the efect of "Navigate to this address".  In other words, if i have to drive to some contact's place, will i have to manually enter the destination or can it be picked up from the Contacts address details?
    2. Is there deep integration between address mentioned in Calendar and Here Drive i.e.If i have the complete address of one of my business contacts in the body of an Calendar entry and i want to drive to that place, then can the address be picked up by Here Drive automatically.
    3. If i use multiple applications simultaneously such as Navigation (Here Drive) and listening to music (Bluetooth connection - via the car's AUX system) and the phone rings, then do things work absolutely smooth and fine or are there problems of the phone hanging.
    Thank you.

  • How to remove a mapped drive

    Hi all,
    i created a mapping in my iMac pointing to a folder on my notebook with windows.
    When I start Parallels to run a Windows VM and my notebook is not connected to the lan, the system stays popping up a message saying "The connection fails, maybe the server Notebook doesn't exists or blablabla...".
    I would like to know how to remove this mapping because it doesn't appear on my Mac Desktop if my notebbok is connected to the lan, but when using Parallels, is almost impossible to work with the message popping up all the time.
    TIA,
    Alano.

    The drive doesn't appear on the list...
    That's the problem...I don't know where should I go to exclude this configuration...

  • How can I map a network drive on an iPad once a VPN is established?

    I have a new iPad and I am trying to access a network drive once I establish a VPN on my company's network. I can establish the VPN, but I am not sure of how to map a network drive like I do on my MacBook using smb.

    Not true.  You can use the app NetPortal https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netportal-access-files-on/id323133602?mt=8
    Does exactly what you want.  There's a free version, netportal lite, that does the same thing but only lets you access PDFs.  Try downloading the free version first to see if you are able to get connected.  I was able to easily on first try once I establised my VPN, ran this app, and entered in the local IP address, username, and password.

  • How to un-map a Disconnected Drive in Windows 7 that reads as connected

    Hello,
    I wanted to know if anyone has found a way to un-map a network drive that is mapped with a red X?  When you try to disconnect the drive with the red x, Windows indicates that the drive does not exist.  The only solution is to reboot windows. 
    If anyone knows how to delete a non-connected X'd out drive that Windows indicates is not connected please let me know?

    Thank you for the response. 
    A reboot of the machine, or having the user log off and back on fixes the issue.  I am looking for a solution that does not require the machine to be rebooted in order to save time.
    For example:
    We map a O: drive via login script in the office for a laptop.  Once the user takes the laptop out of the office and logs in
    sometimes their O: drive is X'd out and sometimes the O: drive is not listed under my computer.  The User then runs a script to delete the O: drive on the laptop after connecting to VPN
    (net use O: /delete).  This is run incase there is a O: drive currently connected or X'd out and not connected.  Towards the end of the script script when subst O:/D: is run
    sometimes the script fails becasue the drive is currently in use.  When the user tries to disconnect the O: drive windows indicates that the O: drive does not exist. 
    I am looking for a way to remove the X'd out O: drive that will not disconnect from windows.  Windows indicates that the drive already exists when you try to map another O: drive or substitute the drive.  When you try to disconnect the O:
    drive windows indicates that the network drive does not exist but it is still there X'd out.

  • How can I map a network drive so that it is persistent?

    When I use my PB at work, I need to connect to a network drive. Is there a way to map to this drive sutomatically when I boot up at work but not give me any problems when I boot up at home.

    Are you connecting to a Windows-based network drive? If so, I can't remember the exact procedure because I've found it actually more difficult to "map to network drive" with PCs.
    For the Mac, what I've done is, to save headaches, is made a shortcut to my networked drive on my Dock.
    First, in the File menu:
    GO > Connect to Server > Browse > (find your networked drive)
    Second, double click on your choice, and what should come up is a new dialog box that says "Connect to Server" with the choice to connect as "Guest" or "Registered User."
    Choose "Registered User" type in your login name and password, and click the checkbox for "Remember password in keychain" and then click on the CONNECT button.
    Third, if successful, when the drive mounts, drag that to your dock and leave it there.
    Then you can access your networked drive any time without having to re-enter your name and password every time. So as long as you did it right.
    I don't recommend putting it in your Login Items because it can cause system hangups if for some reason, you aren't connected to your network when you startup. It will hang and search for that drive forever. ("Forever").
    Trust me on that part. I've wasted precious time in most cases, waiting for the PowerBook to search for a drive that is not connected.
    Also, you can put your networked drive in your "Favorite Servers" section by clicking on the "+" sign with the drive's address typed in. That way you also don't have to find it all the time.
    But do the previous tip and you should be fine.
    That is, if you are on a Mac to Mac network. I gave up trying to access the PC network because it kept reassigning the IP address and would never remember where it was.
    (That's how I got those hangups at startup).

    Hi,
    How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
    According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
    a re-logon.
    example
    @echo off
    net use * /delete /yes
    net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name

  • How do I access my airport extreme drives online

    how do I access my airport extreme drives over the internet?

    Here are the basic steps to share an AirPort Disk over the Internet.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.

  • How do you connect an NTFS hard drive for time machine???

    So I have this 1.5 TB hard drive connected like so:
    1.5 TB HDD ==========> Wifi Router (configured to be accessible using FTP, and SMB, also able to connect using HTTP, but haven't tried)
                           (USB)                 ||
                                                     ||
                                                     ||
                                                     ||   (Wifi, 2.4 ghz wireless G /OR/ 5 ghz wireless n)
                                                     ||
                                                     ||
                                                     ||
                                                     V
                                        To my macbook pro (which logs onto this NTFS hard drive just fine and shows it as a server)
    So that's how it's setup.  I can access the files and everything just fine as a server, which is all peachy.  But I want to use Time Machine.  So here's how I got my hard drive connected in the first place, I followed these steps from OSX Daily:
    Map a network drive to Mac OS X
    This method maps a network drive that will disappear if the network connection drops or if you reboot your Mac:
    From the Mac OS X Finder, hit Command+K to bring up the ‘Connect to Server’ window
    Enter the path to the network drive you want to map, ie: smb://networkcomputer/networkshare and click ‘Connect’
    Enter your login/password and click “OK” to mount the network drive
    The drive will now appear on your desktop and in the Finder window sidebar
    Did everything it says right up there, and worked like a charm.  Plus I used this command that allows Time Machine to see my hard drive and supposedly make it usable, if you want to know it, tell me and I'll put it on here, if you don't need to I'm to lazy to find it
    anyway, I went to Time Machine, selected my hard drive (yay!  It wasn't there before) and all seems just fine.  Then it hangs on the "Making Backup Disk Usable" bit.  I did lots of searches and it seems to be a problem with something like bundles or whatever, but I can't figure it out.  Help?

    Why do you want to use a NTFS format that's Microsoft's for protecting your data with TimeMachine a Apple software?
    Doesn't make much sense. Just format the drive in Disk Utility HFS+Journaled like TimeMachine expects instead of having to use workarounds as NFTS isn't a native Mac format.
    Select hard drive name, click Erase tab, click HFS+Journaled, give it a name and click Erase...
    If you want the drive wiped of all data, then use Security option Zero erase. (takes a lot longer)
    I think you need to read up on TimeMachine

  • One user can not map a network drive

                       Hi,
    A costumer of mine is trying to map a network drive for an existing user that has always had access to the NSS6000 Network Storage Device. This still works for all other users except this one. It looks like an authentication failure. They connect thru CFIS (which means it's using the active directory).
    So far i have troubleshooted the following and ran out of options half an hour ago.
    I rebooted the NAS. No luck.
    I made a different folder and gave the user access. And tried to connect to that. No luck. (to confirm its not related to the folder security)
    I tried to map the drive on a different computer. No luck. (to confirm its not a local computer problem)
    I tried to map the drive to another folder on a different server, this worked fine. (to confirm credentials are correct).
    I tried to remove the user on the NSS600 and tried to update it. The user reappeared instantly in the user list on the NAS. No luck.
    I fear the user table the NSS keeps is corrupted. And i can't find a way to force the NAS to recreate it based on current folder security or active directory users.
    Please help, as i am in no mood to reconfigure the entire NAS.
    Kind regards,

  • I can't map a network drive from Windows 7, using the exact same settings that work fine with Vista or XP

    I have Windows 7  64 bit Home Premium,and I can't map a network drive.  I use a Cisco VPN client to connect to my University network, and then when I go to map the drive I get a message that it can't be found.  I have done web research it seems that I am unable to edit the local security settings (apparently you can do this in Ultimate and Professional versions), and that this may be the culprit.  Does Microsoft make some patch available?  My IT people, and the tech help at HP are baffled by this.  If Windows 7 Home Premium does not allow for mapping of network drives, then I'm dumping it and returning to Vista.  Has anybody had similar problems?

    Day 2 of trying to map a drive in Windows 7 Professional:
    My journey to ____..
    Begins:
    I purchased Windows 7 Home 3xuser license pack for ~140 US I kep hearing friend sayhow much faster it was than Vista 32bit so I thought hey let’s “upgrade”
    .. I looked up the definition of the word “upgrade” the following is what I found:
    1.
    To exchange a possession for one of greater value or quality; trade up.
    2.
    Computer Science
    To replace software or hardware with an upgrade.
    3.
    Computer Science
    a.
    To replace (a software program) with a more recently released, enhanced version.
    b.
    To replace (a hardware device) with one that provides better performance.
    So we,re all clear on what an upgrade is suppose to be. I wanted tomake sure I understood before I proceeded.
    I installed a copy on my latptop Toshiba Centrino 1.83 Ghz/3 G Ram decent computer for all intent and purposes. It’s been working fine
    on Vista but running slow. So I went through MS “requirements checking” to determine if my computer passed the MS test and worth of such the honor and also get MS’s blessing before I moved forward with the “upgrade”.
    I proceeded with the upgrade went relatively smoothly had to uninstall a few programs but I figure that’s such a 
    small price to pay for such great enhancement that I will receive from my “upgrade”. Approximately 4 to 5 hours later after minimal reboots I was all set to go with my new upgraded OS. It was working as prescribed faster than Vista cleaner
    interface sorta, helpful little taskbar gadgets. I was stoked that night I went to be thinking I will go to work and be a rock star on my brand newly “upgraded” computer.
    Oh and by the way, I was so thrilled about Windows 7 I even upgrade my home computer as well.
    I go into work and I have a very big user migration that night, I am an network engineer and I use my laptop for work I use Visio, Wireshark
    and others, all the tools that help us do our job efficiently and effectively.
    I sit down turn on my computer it boots faster than Vista and I’m just chomping at the bit to get going have lots of work to do. So let
    go back for a minute an look at the definition of “upgrade”
    “3.
    Computer Science
    a.
    To replace (a software program) with a more recently released,
    enhanced version.
    b.
    To replace (a hardware device) with one that provides
    better performance.”
    So were good on what upgrade is?
    I have my computer up I have logged in (locally) not on a domain as I was not when I was on Vista OS. I wanted to attach the server to get some
    files so I go to map a drive………………. Hmmmph ….. that’s weird I cannot map a drive …… let’s try this again……… hmmmph…. what this domain thing going here I
    never need that before in the lesser product Vista but ok I’ll add my
    \\servername\folder and my domain.org\username..... hit enter and hmmmmmph …. It ask me for my password again.. well I could have fat gingered it so I’ll type it in reallllllllly slow.. hmmmmmmph ….. again no such luck…
    So I decide consult a colleague of mine who recommended I “upgrade” to Windows 7. After speaking with me he tells me oh! You need
    Windows 7 Professional to do the same things you did in Vista home … I’m perplexed by this but let’s once more take a look at the word “upgrade” to “enhance
    and/or make better
    ”. So now I’m a little perturbed by this little bit of information but I suck it up and decide I’ll drop another ~100.00 US on an “upgrade” to Professional small price to pay for such a great product.. I mean have
    you seen those commercial WOW!
    I make my purchase download and once “upgrade” to new “upgrade” with even more improvement over Vista and XP I mean
    with those two OS’s it took me all of 5 second to map a drive SURELY Windows 7 Professional will map a drive like no one business.
    After 
    few reboots my computer has been fully “upgraded” and ‘upgrade” again to W7 Pro and I’m off to the races ready to get to work cause my migration will be starting in a few hours and I want to be prepared. Sytsem reboots quickly
    I’m logged and ready to start getting my information I so desperately need. I go to map my drive I figure I’ll help W7Pro out I’ll be proactive and use “domain.org\username” that way W7Pro 
    will like me and think oh! this man is brilliant. I hit enter with my correct password that I type realllllly slow. …… waited it’s thinking for sure this is it .. the anticipation is killing me the excitement is overwhelming …….
    THUD my world just came crashing down ..no luck .. no login ..no mapping drives…I’m now on hour 6 of this ridiculous journey to the “upgrade” to “upgrade” ____. So now I’m left to forum because MS surely does not
    think I am going to pay them $275.00 and hour for support on something that should have work right out of the box.
    So I’m on day to I have tried everything on this forum page to get my mapped drive to work with nothing working for me. It appears that
    if I want to use my computer I will have to rolled back to the lesser (Vista).
    Just in case you’re wondering how I made it through the user migration. I had my co-worker bring me my XP computer worked like it’s
    was suppose to.

  • Windows 7 (Client) map a network drive VPN Snow Leopard Server

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and are using a VPN service.
    My services on the mac os x sls server are: AFP, DNS, Firewall, Open Directory, SMB and VPN.
    I can connect the VPN from Mac clients and Windows 7 clients, but I can only map a network drive/share point on Mac´s.
    On Windows 7 I get an error: path or name not found ( I am sure using the correct path, same from Mac client that works).
    When I am using my internal network LAN I can map a network drive using Windows 7 and Mac but outside over a VPN not (only Mac works).
    The only service, at this moment,  that I need is File Sharing outside my network LAN using a VPN.
    How can I map a network drive from a Windows 7 client using a VPN, is there any Firewall rules / SMB rules / File Sharing rules that I missed on the server side?
    Thank You.

    I really don't know what are going wrong with my settings. As you said/write it must be an easy setup.
    I'm using a Time Capsule and used the Server app to add VPN to the port forwarding also.
    When I am connected thru the VPN I tried to ping the Server IP and got no answer from it, from W7 client!?
    My Mac's are just working fine with AFP and SMB share points thru the VPN.
    I think I have missed some settings from the SMB or Firewall services for VPN with W7 client's or it is a Windows issue.....

  • How do I send Windows-friendly network drive links using Mail (in Tiger)?

    I'm in an office with mostly Windows users (and Windows NT servers). Most folks use Windows email applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express. I use Apple Mail 2.1.3 (753.1) in Tiger v10.4.11. But I want to send links within my emails to files on our various network drives and have the receiving Windows/Outlook users click the links to automatically open the various files, but I can't get this to work. Any ideas on how to format the network links so they work this way?
    I don't log into the network drives normally until I want to access things, perhaps I should. But I've tried this and still no go.

    Thanks, but I've tried this in a variety of ways, none of which seem to work. So there's more detail required. Here's some background and examples of what I've tried without success.
    The Windows WORKGROUP is, say, "JAMESCORP" - but what's the equivalent in Apple networking to a Workgroup? And does this even matter? It seems to not matter?
    The Windows drives are mapped on Windows machines as, say, F: G: H: I: etc... But I don't know what the equivalent concept of mapping drives is on an Apple (more on smb, below). I typically don't map Windows' network drives (I use VMWare Fusion) on the Windows side since I did not like the constant Windows messages reminding me each time I'm out of the office that it can't find the Drive F:. Then it can't find Drive G: - etc. ad infinitum. What a pain.
    On the Apple side, I use Finder's command-K to smb into the server that contains all the partitioned drives. In the smb list, the drive names are, say, mapp-cdrv and mapp-ddrv etc (which, in Windows map to F: and G: respectively).
    So when you type "servername" - I'm lost regarding just what the servername should really be? Is it:
    a) F: (which does not work for a Windows user once it's delivered via Apple Mail to an Microsoft Outlook email) So this seems to not be the proper servername - or if it is, there's a translation happening in the delivery mechanism that makes it not work. (I "Add Hyperlink" from the Edit menu to get the link into an Apple Mail message.)
    b) mapp-cdrv (which works on an Apple, but when sent to a Windows machine's email (e.g., Outlook) does not work - so this isn't it. This servername is not something the Windows machines understand
    c) cifs://workgroup;""me@<ip address of server>/mapp-cdrv (which, again, doesn't work on a Windows machine once sent thru Apple Mail).
    I've tried a variety of other permutations of "servername" - both Windows-like server names and Apple-like server names - but none seem to work once delivered the way I'm delivering the links (thru Apple Mail to Outlook.)
    Any other ideas? Thanks for the help! ; )
