How to name a network disk

I have a USB Flash disk plugged into my AEBS network via a small hub. It shows up and I can use it without any problems, but it appears as NO NAME on my desktop. How can I change the name to something meaningful ? I have tried plugging it directly into my Mac and changing the name, but this does not affect the network name. I also read the article about the high ascii codes. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Flagcarrier.
I did read the article and I did do exactly what you suggested, however the disk still shows up as NO NAME on my desktop when I plug it back into the network.
I an open to other ideas if anyone has any or does anyone else have this issue ?
Thanks for the input.

Airport Extreme is toast; how to read the network disk via USB?

My Airport Extreme Base Station is toast; light is green, but it won't respond to anything and the MacBook no longer sees it. Tried resetting it; this thing is done.
Well, as I was writing earlier, I have a hard drive connected to the Base Station I've been using for Time Machine backups. Seeing as now my Base Station is dead, I need to hook this hard drive up directly to the MacBook using USB or FireWire. Well, I've done that, and Time Machine has no clue how to access this drive. Using the "Browse Other Time Machine Volumes" does not bring up this drive.
I have some absolutely critical data I need to reach, and it's more than frustrating knowing it's on this hard drive, yet I'm completely unable to access it... I've been good and backed up my data in case of loss, only to have the backup seem to not work at the same time.

...is there a way I can force my MBP to only connect to the n base station ?
Don't use the 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to extend the 802.11b/g AEBS's network. Not only must this use 802.11g for the connection between the 2 AEBSs, but that connection uses WDS which cuts your wireless bandwidth in half. So the MacBook Pro may connect to the 802.11b/g/n AEBS with 802.11n but the data transfer speed is limited to 27 Mbps.
Instead connect the 2 AEBS's vie Ethernet and create a dual-band network. You will find threads describing this and it is also documented in Apple's documentation.

Mounting Network Disk at Startup - How to do?

Hello,
I would like to get advice, how to mount a Network Disk directly at startup (it is no problem to do this by using the Finders GoTo-Menu...)
Is this done easiest using an AppleScript or is there another better possibility?
Thanks in advance for your advices
Andreas

Do you mean startup (i.e. when the machine boots, even if no users are logged in)?, or login (e.g. when the user logs in a share mounts on their desktop)?
There are different options depending on quite what you want.

Hat is this "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "***Network Name***' The Backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use"

"Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “***Network Name***’ The Backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use"
What does this mean and how do you fix it?

I got that the file is in use, what is the trick to release the file. This has something to do with X.8, never had this problem befor I uploaded .8

How can I access photos on a network disk with apple TV ?

I just bought a WD network disk to put all my photos. I wish to look at them with apple TV but can't find how. The only thing I see is what shared in my laptop Itune. Can't I just acces the content on network device without going through Itune?
It should be easy as looking what's on the network and brows through the content!

AppleTV2 does not support directly accessing media on network drives.
All media viewed must be via itunes.
If you can point iTunes to a folder on the network drive (Advanced>Choose Photos to Share) you maybe able to access them but only when itunes is running.

How can I burn a disk of photos with a modified file name?

After importing photos from scan device, I use Photos > Batch > Change to rename files. When burning a disk the changed file names do not transfer with the image but use the original file name. How can I burn a disk of photos with the modified file name?
This is what I have done so far with no success.
Drag selected photos from Event to Burn Folder where the file names were changed. Burn folder lists file with original file name.
Drag albums to Burn Folder with the same result.
In Filer I am able to change the iPhoto Library > Master > Date > Filename and then drag to burn disk folder and see the changed name but this is a single file exercise without a view of the file's image, but to use the new file name in iPhoto events I have to repeat the naming convention.

File > Export.
In the resulting dialogue note the "Name" section. Choose to use the Title as Filename.

Questions?

In order to enable Guest networking, the AirPort Extreme must be configured as your "main" Internet router. In this configuration, Connection Sharing = Share a Public IP address. The Extreme would be connected directly to the Internet modem and NOT downstream of another router with NAT enabled.
In this configuration, the Guest network would provide access ONLY to the Internet and NOT to your LAN.

How can I store document on a network disk?

With the old Pages I was able to store and edit documents right from my network disk (where I have full permissions on). I updated to the new version, with the big changes, and now suddenly it tells me it is unable to store the document because I apparently don't have the right permissions. I checked the network device and I got full permissions, besides all other apps don't seem to have that problem, even more specific when I boot up the old Pages I can store and edit documents again without problem. So it really seems it's something in the new Pages that is causing the problem. Also, the latest update did not address or solve this issue.
It get's even worse. When I create a new document and store it on my own disk and then drag it to the network disk, there is no problem. When I open that document from the network disk and edit something and I try to re-save it, it tells me "I don't have permissions to store the document" and it messed up the document on the network disk from MyDocument.pages to MyDocument.pages.sb-76d48d4f-LvItH9, and instead of a file it is now a folder. This was behavior which was also not seen on the old Pages.

Pages 5 has over 90+ missing features plus annoying bugs like this.
Your previous Pages should be in your Applications/iWork folder.

When I do an ifconfig I get this output:
lo0 Guess this is the loopback address

buy an external HD 1TB for $60
NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

Problems using dbms_scheduler with attached network disks

Oracle 11.2.0.1
I created a job which run .bat - files.
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
        job_name => 'JOB_FILES',
        job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
        job_action => 'e:\dump\abc.bat',
        auto_drop => FALSE,
        enabled => TRUE);
Content of abc.bat is
"E:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\7za a e:\dump\den3_arch_171020131420.zip x:\mtr\"
Im trying to make an archive with files in some folder. In this example the folder is "x:\mtr\" where "x" is attached network disk.
When i run this job It creates null archive and raises error
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Incorrect function.
If in "abc.bat" i change network disk "x" to server disk with existing folder all works properly(It archives all files).
If i execute "abc.bat" from cmd window all works properly(It archives all files).
Ive created java source
create or replace and compile java source named "OSCommand" as
import java.io.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
p.waitFor();
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
and pl/sql function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
And it works like dbms_scheduler...

Several computers sharing the music library stored on a network disk: howto

Hi,
We currently have iTunes set up on a (laptop) computer. The music folder location is on a network disk (NAS). Everything has been working fine.
We recently purchased two more laptops for other family members and would like to set up the iTunes for those computers to use the same existing music folder. Is this possible? I understand that we must authorize all computers using the library to be able to play purchased music.
So far we have synced all our ipods using the one and only computer. In the future each of us will use their own laptop for syncing. Will this cause any problems regarding to the shared music library?
I guess that the playlists are stored in the itunes files, not in the music library. Due to this the playlists must be created on the new computers after the itunes installation.
Best regards,
ikl

You are most of the way there. The only issue will be that anything done by one machine will not be automatically updated to others. Files deleted from NAS by one machine will not be available to others anymore leading to ! next to track names if in libraries on other machines.
Files added by one machine will have to be added to the libraries of the other machines using 'add file to library' or 'add folder to library' options on menu.
Podcast subscriptions should be only files that will duplicate on NAS. Podcast subscriptions are individual to each library even if stored to same location. The files themselves well get numbered. The library will know which file to use. This allows episodes to be deleted without affecting other users.

How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?

Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp? I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
Thank you. Joe

Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.
