I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Saving files to a hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme

I just upgraded to Leopard. I am unable to use Backup v 3.1.2 to save files to a hard drive i have connected to my Airport Extreme. Previously, using Tiger i was able to perform this task.
I use Finder and see my airport express network and my external hard drive. However, when i run my backup jobs using Backup the program can not located the external hard drives.

The discussion was helpful. My hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme is now recognized and i can backup files to a folder called 'Backups'. However, i am only capable of saving to this one folder. When i try to create subfolders and select one of them as my location in the Backup program i get an error message; "the selected location is not a valid destination". Any idea how to get around this problem?
Many thanks for the quick response to my previous mail.

How to download a CSV file to a shared network folder ?

Hi Experts,
I have created a report which exports a CSV file on application server using scheduled background job. I have used the OPEN DATASET feature to download the file on a location on the application server which is working fine.
But my requirement is that I have to download this file to a shared folder which is situated on another location and is shared in my application server as 'N' drive. But when I give the path of this N drive in my report, its giving runtime error that the <filename> is not open.
So pls help me how to give path to such shared network folder to download the file?
Thanks,
Vishal .

Hi Guys,
I tried alot but it didnt work.
SO I decided to export the file on the application server only.
I created a background job that runs periodically and exports the file to C drive of the application server.
The job run sucessfully only the first time but gets cancelled after that.
I ran the job for an hour but not a single time it finished successfully. Every time it was cancel with dump error shown below.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Category ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors DATASET_NOT_OPEN
Except. CX_SY_FILE_OPEN_MODE
ABAP Program ZBATCHSTOCK
Application Component Not Assigned
Date and Time 01.08.2014 18:52:13
Short text
 File "C:\GOOGLE_SAP\BATCH_DETAILS.CSV" is not open.
What happened?
 Error in the ABAP Application Program
 The current ABAP program "ZBATCHSTOCK" had to be terminated because it has
 come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
 Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
 To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
 administrator.
 Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
 at and manage termination messages, and you can also
 keep them for a long time.

And the same background job runs properly on development server without any cancelled job.
So pls help me what should be the problem ??
Thanks,

Existing files on drive connected to latest Airport Extreme do not show up, however files copied over the air to the drive do. Any ideas?

I have the latest Airport Extreme with a Seagate drive connected. I copied files to the drive while it was connected to my MacBook Pro. The files do not show up when connected to the AE, but they appear when connected to the Macbook, Files copied over the network to the drive appear. The drive is formatted HFS+.

After playing with this for the last few days, I found a solution. Under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utility, the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down needs to be set to "With device password". Mine was set to "With acounts", which even after correct authentication, none of the files would appear.
Another interesting note: The files that I could see, the ones I copied over the network, do not appear now. I can copy over new files, and they show up, but the ones copied prior to changing the "Secure Shared Disks" option, do not.

How do I get my macmini running Mountain Lion to see my Canon USB printer connected to my Airport Extreme? I have a macbook pro running leopard and that works fine. The versions of airport utility are different and I can't even see the printer from new 1

I am having trouble seeing my usb printer from my second gen airport extreme using the newest version of airport utility under Mountain Lion. UGH! And while I can see and network to my Canon IP5000 from my macbook pro running leopard, I can't from my new macmini running Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated in configuring my macmini so it can see the Canon IP5000 on the airport extreme. Don't want to "share" the printer from the laptop because that would be a cludge. Thanks ahead

I solved this one based on another post. Turned out I needed the snow leopard IP5000 driver. I had just copied over the leopard driver (I had saved my .dmg file) and installed that but it didn't work. So I downloaded the latest driver which turned out to be for snow leopard and I am guessing since it is 64bit that is why it worked and the leopard driver didn't. Anyway, I also had to hook the printer up via usb to the mac mini to get it to work locally before the O/S would see it over Bonjour via the airport extreme.

How can I convert a coaxial internet feed to an ethernet for connection to an AirPort Extreme?

I'm interested in purchasing an AirPort Extreme but I'm not sure how to convert the coaxial internet cable to ethernet to connect to the airport. Does anybody know of a good converter?

If the Internet feed is provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) you will need an outboard cable modem that accepts the coaxial signal and converts it to Ethernet for use with the AirPort Extreme.
Contact your Internet Service Provider to learn what modem they recommend for use with their service.

How do I view a file from a usb hard drive connected to my airport extreme base station on my ipad 2?

Hi,
I just purchased the airport extreme base station. I have a usb hard drive connected to the base station. Is it possible to view this hard drive on my ipad 2? I have been unable to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't, not natively. An app like FileBrowser:

may make this possible, though.

How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
Please advise and thank you!

Use a (powered) USB hub.

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

Can't Delete Files on USB Drive Connected to Airport Extreme

I'm trying to delete some files on a USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme, but I keep getting a error message that I don't have sufficient privileges to do so. I've tried super deletion applications like FileXaminer, without any success. What other methods are there?

Thanks for the info.
Were you using the drive for Time Machine backups, by chance? Time Machine backups are stored in a different format when the disk is connected directly to a computer. So, you won't be able to continue to use the old backups when the drive location is changed.
You might want to check the drive by connecting directly to your Mac and running Disk Utility to "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" if indicated.
Even if the drive has it's own power supply, a powered USB hub is usually needed on the AirPort Extreme because the power at the USB port is quite limited.

Does anyone know how to lock a specific application, such as e-mail in Ipad?

I have my company email in my Ipad and I want to lock it in order to prevent whoever uses my Ipad to login to my email. Does anyone know how to lock a specific application or it cannot be locked?

There is a somewhat clunky way to do it. First, go into your mail (Settings - Mail/Contacts/Calendars) and turn off (dont' disable) any accounts you don't want to be seen. Then go into Restrictions - Accounts and select "Don't Allow Changes." This will prevent anyone from turning the mail back on. When you're ready to turn it back on, go into Restrictions and either Disable Restrictions or go into Accounts and select Allow Changes.

How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p

how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file

Hi,
Use GUI_UPLOAD to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data in a file on the presentation server or use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.
