Import to network drive problem

I tried to import from my camera to my external hard drive that was plugged into my airport extreme. while importing, the external disappeared from my desktop, and the computer had apparently lost connection to the external. imovie however, continued to import, but it was importing to somewhere on the local HD, instead of the networked drive. i have looked in all of the obvious places for these approximately 15 GB of files, but i can't find them anywhere.
i have tried this twice, and both times it happened. i won't be trying this workaround for importing directly to a USB 2.0 external HD in the future because it clearly doesn't work, but now, i'm out of room on my computer's HD, and i have no way to find the files to move/delete them. any idea where imovie put these files? thanks for your help!
camera: canon vixia hf100

This is my post and I'm new, so I may not be providing the answer in the "usual" manner.  (Feel free to educate me!)
Solution:
The mounted volume on MacBook is /Volumes/photowork.  Notice the lowercase 'p' in photowork.   In LR I had selected a mount point
with *uppercase* 'p'.  See screen shot.  Summary: The already-selected mount point was /Volumes/Photoshop.  LR had no complaints.  When
I changed the mount point to /Volumes/photowork LR imported as expected. 
This only became an issue since the upgrade, as I simply never tinkered with mount points and so on.  This archive

  • Problem importing from network drive???HELP

    I have all my photos on a networked drive (pc network)
    I want to be able to access the photos from my ibook wihtout putting them on the internal mac HD (would fill it in no time flat).
    When I try to import the files i get an error "The volume for "@#!@#" cannot be found....Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again." The drive is accessable from the mac, and is on the desktop, and if I keep hitting 'cancel' for the error message about 8 times the photo loads.
    I have over 7500 photos, that is almost 50,000 times to hit 'cancel'

    I've had similar problems, I'll see if this advanced setting thing will help. My objective is to have my "Master iLibrary" on an external hard drive connected to a new airport extreme wireless network in my house. Then all three household laptops can access our extensive ilibrary without using hard drive space on the laptops, and wirelessly to boot. In addition I want to be able to connect all three ipods (and hopefully an iphone come June:) to any one of the three laptops to access this very large music library (50GB). It seems to me that by trying to protect copyright for the artist the honest end consumer gets hosed. I can't seem to get the album art for many of my songs seemingly because of my unwillingness to re-import hundreds and hundreds of CDs that I have boxed up in the attic. The album art isn't anything more than an issue of asthetics where as deleteing ten thousand songtitles when itunes repopulates my library is enough to make a laptop grow wings and fly across the room. I hope that technology heads toward more continuity for music junkies. I've been trying to find the right device, software and format for my extensive collection of music. I started with musicmatch jukebox and got agrivated then used WMP out of forced convinience. Now I have moved to itunes because apple "seems" to be developing what the consumer wants instead of telling the consumer what they are going to get. I haven't even begun to convert my cassettes, vinyl, or 8 tracks. That is a nightmare waiting in the wings. Anyone with advice in the way of a turnkey operation for my planned setup? I believe that what I am trying to do is very likely the desire of most consumers. If Apple gets this worked out and user friendly I'd bet they'll take over the majority marketshare as fast as they can handle it if not faster.

  • I just upgraded to CC (from LR 5) on Macbook Pro and can no longer import to Network Drive.  New version is LR 5.7.  Help?

    Just like the title says: MBP, retina works great with LR 5 installed from CD.  Added CC, upgraded to LR 5.7 and now import "hangs" with no activity.  Have been using LR since version 2.
    More info: the problem is writing to my network drive (which has been working since LR 2...  It seems a Temporary Folder is created with permissions 755 (owner=rw, group=r, others=r),
    then nothing more.
    Has something changed with respect to LR handling of network drives.  This is a Linux CIFS/SMB share (again, been using since LR 2).  Catalog is local on my MBP.

  • Importing from network drive

    I have two computers w/iTunes 7.02.16 pointing at one common network drive, I'll call this the master library. If one computer (iTunes) is used to add music to the master library, the other copy of iTunes doesn't know the new music is there until it's imported to that computers iTunes library. The problem I'm having is that whenever the second computer imports a file a second copy of the file is created in the same folder. Is there a way to add a file to the second iTunes library w/o creating a duplicate file?
    I can go in and delete the copy, but then I need to point the imported reference in iTunes back to the original file? This is a pain.
    Does iTunes have a way to go scan the "master library" to see if there are new files and then import them? Windows media player has this type of capability.

  • Can I "cache" large RAW files imported from network drive on local drive?

    I've seen discussions similar to this topic, regarding "offline" editing, but not exact answers I'm looking for.
    I'm copying RAW files from a shoot onto my network RAID drive in a per-album folder, from where I then import into a new LR catalog (I'm using LR 4.1) on my Windows laptop for that album.
    I'm finding that editing RAW files on a network drive from a wireless laptop is awfully slow (not to mention not being able to continue the work offline somewhere else), so I'd like to cache those files on my speedy SSD drive just until I'm done editing and exporting/publishing that album.
    I back up my per-album catalog onto the network folder alongside the RAW files since that's my IT-managed master repository. When I'm done editing, I'd purge the cached files and just keep the catalog previews on my limited capacity SSD.
    So, is there a way to tell LR to, for one/all files imported from a location (in my case a network folder), look in an alternate location for the identical files? Since I create per-album catalogs in per-album folders, there wouldn't be filename clashing. Either LR can provide this caching behavior on its own or I'd manually copy files from the network folder to a local folder and tell LR to look there first.
    I don't really want to make copies of files into secondary folders within LR since then it's a hassle to merge edits on the cached copy to its master copy (I haven't done this, but I'd imagine so).
    Thanks for your workflow tips.
    Erhhung

    Have you tried locating your ACR Raw cache on this SSD drive, also ensuring that the size limit of this cache is large enough, to keep a goodly chunk of these Raw images all in play at the same time?
    My understanding is that for performance reasons, LR will be caching your Raw data locally in any case - on conventional hard disk by default. And it will be doing so in an intermediate half-converted form (demosaiced into "sensor RGB space" but not translated into "picture RGB values" - the latter process varies depending on your live Develop adjustments).
    So long as this cache has not run short, and reallocated space for something else, LR should (as far as I know) not be needing to go back to the network drive to re-fetch actual Raw content. And keeping that cache somewhere fast rather than somewhere slow, should improve responsiveness.
    I imagine, though, that LR will continually check the availability and the unchanged timestamp of the real source file; and wouldn't let you carry on working from automatically cached data otherwise.

  • Auto import from network drive

    Lightroom tells me the watched folder for the auto import function cannot be a network drive. I am using a laptop tethered to a camera, which then is accessible via the network. I want to auto import from this laptop into Lightroom.
    Is this not possible?

    That's the way I have to do it today, but sometimes the laptop is too far away to have a good wi-fi connection. I want to be able to continue to take pictures while tethered to the laptop without stopping. Better to have Lightroom watch, and when the laptop comes back in wi-fi range, then to auto import.
    What is your auto import workflow?

  • OS X + Network Drive problems

    I have two usb hardrives connected to an airport extreme and it works great until i close the lid of my laptop. When i turn my computer on from sleep/hibernate mode it pops up an error message saying "Network drive interruption" then i cannot connect back to that network drive for atleast 5 - 7 minutes. What can i do to resolve this problem or speed up the process of reconnecting to disconnected network drives?

    I suspect the problem may be because if you are using wireless, then Airport is turned off when you put your computer to sleep. This disconnects you from the wireless network. That may be the reason for the interruption message. If this is why the problem occurs then a solution is not to put the computer to sleep or dismount the networked drives beforehand.

  • How to import from network drive?

    I have a macbook pro, iMac and Time Capsule.  I exported my images from macbook to Time Capsule.  A few of these images I would like to import into apeture on my iMac.  What is the best way to get images from a networked drive to import into a new project on apeture 3?  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you,
    Cathy

    Is it a few images or complete folders?
    If it is a few images go to File->Import->Files. Select the drive and folder where the images are and import them.
    If it is whole folders of images go to File->Import->Folders as Projects.
    Note in both cases the network drive needs to be attached to the Mac before you will see it in Aperture. So open Finder and select he network drive and then select a folder on the drive. You should see it in Aperture after that.

  • M 8215 D1U network driver problem

    Installed a new hard drive (old one crashed), loaded Win XP Pro no problems.  Trying to load network driver first so that getting other drivers would be easier.  Used q37z53usa download from Lenovo.  When I execute SETUPBD per instructions I get an error "..... is not a valid Win32 application".  What am I doing wrong or what else can I try?
    Thanks, Kevin

  • ITunes library on network drive problems

    Library source folder (on my network drive) defaults to the original folder locaton on my iBook after an, as of yet, undetermined time. How do I define the library source folder for iTunes on my network drive and force it to keep that location?
    Thanks.

    On startup, iTunes checks the presence of the 'iTunes Music' folder as set in Preferences>Advanced>General.
    If it doesn't find it, it will reset that location.
    There is no way of forcing iTunes to keep the location.
    iTunes must have a folder to store the next imports. That's the reason why it resets the location if it can't find the designated 'itunes Music' folder.
    Always be sure your network drive is available before running iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help Network Drive problems with Itunes

    Can anyone help me!! I use a Maxtor shared Drive with various Roku soundbridges around my house.
    What i want is Itunes to always put my music in my shared storage Drive (HOME:My Music:itunes.i tunes music), but everytime i restart my Machine i get
    the standard itunes Directory.(MacintoshHD:users:me:music:itunes:itunes Music)
    does anyone know how to solve this
    Regards

    I'm using both itunes for Mac and iTunes for windows, I have a network drive that I have all of my music on. iTunes for windows reconizes the networks drive and all of the music. on iTunes for mac if you go to iTunes, prferences, advance you will find the folder on which all of the music is being stored. Have you tried that?
    Further more I have not being able to link my iTunes for Mac to my network drive. when I tried it I had to first look for the network drive, connect to it and then from iTunes look for a folder to add to library. when I did that, itunes tried it to copy all of the music to the computer's hard drive, which I do not want. Do you know how to map a netwrok drive on to a mac computer?

  • Network Drive problems with Fast User Switching

    I have a USB drive connected to my Time Capsule and shared to the network. On one of my computers (Mac Pro) I have 2 user accounts which access the data (music, photos). The first one to access the drive after a power on has no problems, and everything works perfectly. However, if I Fast User Switch to the other account, it can see the drive but cannot access it (permission problem apparently). I then have to click the disconnect button in finder, and reconnect, and then can use it again fine. Then when I switch back to the first account its the same deal, having to disconnect and reconnect. It is really annoying, since it marks all my itunes songs as missing and whatnot. Does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Yes, under Sharing in System Preferences both users have been added to full access of the drive. I had to do that for the non-admin account to be able to access it at all.

  • IPhoto stalls on import from network drive

    I have all my family photos on a network disc that we share on all computers in the house.
    I want the photos to stay on this disc so in iPhoto preferences, advanced tab I have removed the checkmark in "copy items to iPhoto library".
    When I choose "import to library" everything goes well, until all the photos have been indexed - then it goes to "finishing import" - and around 50% it stalls... And stalls, and stalls! Nothing happens after 5 minutes, 1 hour or 12 hours.
    I've tried to import over wifi and wired network - same thing. Does anybody have any ideas?!
    When I import, I choose the top-level folder containing around 10000 photos. I thought this amount could make iPhoto choke-up or something, so I tried to import a sub-folder of around 10 photos - and this works! Problem is that there are A LOT of subfolders, so doing them all one-by-one is not really an option. HELP!!! I can't believe that this app. can't handle the amount of photos I have, I know others that have many more...
    Best regards - and happy holidays!
    /Kasper

    Kasper:
    Just a word of warning. iPhoto doesn't like movie files in referenced, i.e. aliased, libraries. If there's a problem with the availability of the source movie file, slow connection, etc. iPhoto will stall at that point and continually ask for the file. I don't know if this is the source of your import problem but I would strongly recommend you have a separate library for your movie files. That will make the other library more stable in the long run.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Mac Mini Mounting Network Drive problems....  weird

    Okay 2 Mac minis. Older G4/1.33/512/40/Combo, 10.4.11 Not as old C2D/1.83/2gb/80/Combo. First one mounts SMB shares from a NAS store no problems.
    2nd one (newer) does SOME of the shares and not others. Will see, connect, mount and place icon on desktop. As soon as I click th icon on desktop or side panel in finder, it clears screen, closes the windows that are that open. Other mounted shares it will open and use. Its the same ones each time that cause the problem.
    Anyone no why? Have checkled all network settings on both machines and there both identical in evy way. Connecting using same user name and password.
