Imported Photos when NOT connected to network drive is missing

I connect to external disk drive for my photos.
But when I wasn't connected to the drive, I imported photos just fine - was able to see them all (the just imported one). I could see "blank" thumbnails for the network photos (because I wasn't connected).
Next time I connected to the external drive, the photos i just imported, when I wasn't connected was missing?
ANY HELP? PLEASE? THANKS.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
My guess is you have two libraries. One is on the external, has all the older pics, the other has the new additions.
To find the other, go to the Finder Go Menu -> Go to Folder and type in /Volumes/The Name of Your External HD...
Can you see the opther library there? If so, drag it to the desktop, and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the libraries.

Windows 8.1 windows explorer does not connect to network drives

I have a network drive (SAN) on my local network which everytime I re-install windows I cannot connect to it anymore.
Last time I fixed this issue it was just a single checkbox(or radio button) but I cannot remember where it was and what was it called.
I am getting error
"Error Code: 0x800704b3
The network path was either typed incorrectly, does not exists. or the network provider is not
currently available. Please try retyping the path or contact your network administrator."
Which none of them are true and by the way, I am the network administrator in my home network and sorry that I cannot contact myself (ain't sometimes Microsoft error messages as stupid as their developers?)
1- I can connect to internet and browse web and receive mail too. so my network connection is working perfectly.
2- I can ping my device (using both its IP and name). I can see an IP assigned to my device.
3- I can browse my device and even access its management service using firefox (I don't have internet explorer because I removed it)
4- I have File and printer sharing for microsoft network (in ethernet properties) installed and activated too.
5- windows installation is new so nothing is changed in it.
6- my firewall is not blocking the access to device either (If I disable it still cannot see the network drive)
7- Network and sharing center is empty!
8- In IPv4 advanced properties Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled too (which I think that was what fixed it last time)
9- there is no error event is listed in event viewer.
What is this problem that I have to fix every single time I install windows 8.1 I have to fix?

Hi Bob,
It seems like your network is working properly. So If you make sure your network path is correct, let us check other settings for mapping network drives.
Check if the issue persists under safe mode and make sure that “TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper” in service.mcs is running.
Make sure your computer name is unique and using NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
The computer name could be either a Netbios name or a DNS name. so if one doesn’t work check the other one.
You also could try the net use command, to see if it might return additional infomation

Java web server error when not connected to network

If my laptop is not connected to a network, when I execute the java web server, it fails at start up with the exceptions listed below. When debugging, I need access only to local host, so it seemed reasonable to me that the web server should execute in the absence of a network.
I just found that I get the same failure, if I'm connected to the network via a dialup connection.
Any ideas on how to configure my system so that the web server will function in the absence of a network connection?

MBA not connecting to network drives after waking from sleep

I have been having this problem over the past few days. When my lat 2010 MBA wakes from sleep it will not connect to my NAS. If I try to force it too connect finder will crash and I get the cannot find finder.app error -10801. The only way I have been able to get the MBA working is a hard reset. Then all is well until I close the lid and wake it up at some point.
I was thinking about re-loading SL, but thought I would check here for any thoughts on this problem.
Thanks

Hi Carl,
This will fix many problems AND clean up a lot of useless stuff.
Get Applejack...

MBP increasingly slower when not connected to network

When connected to the network at work (either through WiFi or ethernet cable) my macbook pro works OK. However, when I am travelling or take my MBP home performance starts degrading to a point where launching something like Dictionary can take 15-20 seconds.
I get a spinning beach ball when launching or closing applications, as well as when saving files. Typically when disk operations are involved.
Originally, after reading some posts in this forum, I thought that it was a hard drive problem. However, I have used the tools that come with the installation disk and disk warrior showing no problems. In addition, the problem always sort out itself after rebooting while connected to the network at work.
Trying to find the missing network could be a problem, but going through the logs in console I can not find anything like that. The other issue is that performance degradation compounds with time since being connected to work. I can' figure out a reason for this.
Any suggestions pointing to a solution are most welcome.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2GHz, 1.5GB RAM

After playing for a while with the computer I think that I have at least found where the computer is wasting all this time.
Using Console and checking system.log, I found several instances of "DirectoryService[46]: Active Directory: Could not determine closest Domain Controller from Site information in directory". I did use "sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService" in Terminal to send debugging information to /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log.
Here I can see that every time I have a delay, the computer spends 25 seconds trying to reach a LDAPv3 server at work. So, it seems to be a misconfigured network problem, which I hope to sort out tomorrow.

AD mobile users have no permisssions when not connected to network

I am the IT Manager in a Windows Server 2003 shop using Active Directory. I am trying to integrate a MacBook just purchased with Leopard 10.5.2. The computer is sucessfully bound to the AD domain. I created a local user account on the machine, and while connected to the company network, an active directory user. When the AD user logs in and the machine is connected to the company network, all is fine: the user's home directory is automatically connected and all application prefs and local folders are available.
However, when away from the company network, loging in with the mobile user's credentials gets a desktop, but no permissions to that user's own local folders:no Dock prefs, no documents folder, no downloads folder, no nothing. Only internet access if a connection is available. Suppossedly credentials are cached on the MacBook, as that option was selected when I created the account. Is this behavior correct?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'll give it a try just to see what happens. I am not sure that this is such a good solution however:
1) I am not sure that I have permission to redistribute deployJava.js with my project. What is the license for it? When I download the script it has been stripped of all comments.Good question. I had to chase up the webmaster of mindprod.com to alter his pages to reflect that the preferred method was to hot-link to Sun's own script. It never occured to me to question that Sun might not allow not hot-linking to the script. Now I go looking over their documentation on the script, it is not really clear.
The documentation I was looking through, can be found at the [Java Rich Internet Applications Deployment Advice|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html] page.
2) How can I ensure that the installation methods will be kept up to date If I 'hard code' the deployment methods by distributing them myself? You can't. That is one downside of using a copy of the script.
.. Are there specific version dependencies within the deployJava.js script that need to be updated once in a while? Not that I know of. Though Sun might upload changes to correct bugs in various browsers.
I am guessing that one of the design elements of the 'deployJava.js' script is that since it is on a sun server it can be kept up to date over time. This cannot happen once it is frozen in to my distribution.Well summed up.
It would be nice if deployJava.js checked if the java install was adequate, and if not then went out to the network to get instructions on what to do next. It is too hard for me to tell what is going on in the whitespaced-stripped file however. Any internal documentation on what deployJava.js does?See what you can figure from the link above, and related documentation.

Slow Finder startup when not connected to network

I use a Linksys BEFW11S4 router/WAP for my home network. The Linksys connects my iMac (ethernet), iBook (wireless) and an Airport Express. I decided I would control my son's access to the internet by using the Linksys router software, which is password-protected, to enable or disable the network connection.
However, I'm finding that when the network connection is disabled, the Finder loads very slowly upon startup. The dock appears fairly quickly, but a color pinwheel spins for a couple of minutes before the Finder menu bar, desktop file and volume icons and any windows I've left opened appear on the desktop. When the network connection is enabled, startup occurs normally . This situation occurs whether I'm on the iMac or the iBook.
Does anyone know a reason for this behavior?
iMac G4 17; iBook G4 1.33 Mhz 14; iPod 3G 20GB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I talked to Linksys technical support, and they told me this behavior was normal. As long as my computers are connected to the router, they will hunt for an Internet connection on startup. (I found this was true even when I physically disconnected my DSL modem from the outer.) It seems that the lengthy delay in getting the Finder loaded is unavoidable in that case. Good work, Jase!

How to copy catalog from external hard drive to computer hard drive to use smart previews when not connected to external hard drive?

I am very new to LR5. I have LR5 set up so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I found out that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 cannot find my catalog, therefore, I cannot do any editing in smart previews unless connected to the external hard drive. How can I fix this issue so that I can edit photos without being connected to the external hard drive. Is there a way of copying the catalog off the hard drive on the computer hard drive or do I need to reestablish a new catalog using LR5? Does the catalog always need to be loaded on the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

Yes that is correct. The LR catalog must be on the computers internal drive. Then when you have Smart Previews enabled you can edit image without having the drive they are on connected. Then when you connect that drive the images will be updated.
Just COPY those 4 folders over to your internal drive to a folder called Lightroom Catalog that you create. Then Open LR and go to the File menu item and select Open Catalog. Browse to the folder you created called Lightroom Catalog and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file and click Open. Once Lightroom restarts open the preferences, Edit>Preferences, and on the General Tab in the Default Catalog section make sure "When starting up use this catalog:" area lists where you have copied those folders. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever you created that folder/That folder name/Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat.

External drive shows up when NOT connected

I have a FANTOM external drive where I keep my music and photos, but recently I've been having a problem. I accidentally downloaded photos to my computer when the drive wasn't connected, and my computer seems to have created it's own directory (or partition, or something, I don't know) called FANTOM and put the photos there, but I can't find any way to access it.
This means that when I open iPhoto, the pictures that I downloaded most recently are there. But if I do a search in Finder, my computer can't find any of the files - there's no iPhoto Library, and if I search by the file names of individual pictures, nothing comes up.
I finally tried exporting one of the photos from iPhoto, and the default location it comes up with to export the photo to is XXX's Computer/Macintosh HD/Volumes/FANTOM/Pictures/iPhoto Library. If I click OK, it seems to save the photo to that location - when I go back and export another photo, the first one I exported shows up in that folder. The only problem is, my FANTOM drive isn't actually connected. So where is it putting the photo?
What I would like to do is get rid of this mysterious FANTOM drive that seems to reside somewhere on my computer, so that I can connect my real FANTOM drive and use my real iPhoto Library. At the moment, even when I connect my external drive (and it shows up on the desktop and all that), my computer still only shows the pictures that are in the other iPhoto Library on its own, mystery FANTOM drive. And since I can't even find that mystery drive on my computer, there's no way for me to delete that iPhoto Library or rename it so that I can switch to the library on my real external drive.
Has anyone experienced this before? The best explanation I can come up with is that my computer looked for my external drive, and when it didn't find it, it created another imaginary drive with the same name - but that doesn't explain why the ONLY time it actually shows me this directory is when I'm trying to export a photo from iPhoto (it doesn't show up as a drive in Finder), or why the files in that directory don't show up when I search "Everywhere" on my computer.
Thanks for your help.

HI
If you want to use match when your hard drive is not attached, I suggest that you create a new blank library then turn on match, you will see all your music in cloud. Hold option key whilst launching iTunes and select create new library. You can switch between libraries as required.

Powerpoint 2013 throwing 'File in Use' errors when saving to a network drive, file is NOT in use

One of our sites is having a strange issue when saving to a network location in Powerpoint. I'm not sure it's a Powerpoint problem, but it's a place to start...
When saving a ppt to a mapped network drive (the client is running Windows 8 / Office 2013, the network drive is a DFS share, pointed to a Server 2012 machine if that matters), users will almost always get the following error:
"Someone else is working in (filepath\name) right now. Please try again later."
This happens regardless of where the file is being saved on the network drive, in fact it happens even when there is no pre-existing file with that name in the location. So, even if I'm saving a brand new copy of test.pptx to F:\Share\PPT where there
is not currently a test.pptx, I get the error.
Word, Excel, and all other tested apps save properly. Powerpoint can save correctly to the local computer, but not to the network drive or to My Documents (which redirects to the same network drive).
When the error pops up, if I look in Open Files in Computer Management on the Fileserver, I see the file I'm trying to save listed as being open, but it shows 'Disconnected' rather than a username.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - again, not sure that this is a Powerpoint problem - could be Windows 8 or some mysterious DFS thing...
Thanks.

Hello,
Been having a very similar issue in our environment and just came across this thread while Googling and looking for answers.
In our case, we have Windows 7 clients and 3 main files servers - 2 are Server 2008 R2, and one is Server 2012. We use PeerLink File Collaboration to sync the files between
the servers (similar concept to DFS).  For us, it seems to happen specifically with Excel 2013, and only when saving to the Server 2012 file server. I can reproduce the message pretty much every time. After seeing your post,
I tried it in Powerpoint just out of curiosity, but it saved properly - Word saves properly as well.
Been doing a bunch of testing to try and narrow it down, and this is what I've found:
Excel 2013 -> Server 2012 = error message.
Excel 2013 -> Server 2008 R2 = no error message.
Excel 2010 -> Server 2008 AND Server 2012 = no error message.
<o:p>We've been leaning towards the PeerLink replication as the culprit up to this point, but last night I did some testing with the PeerLink Collaboration turned off, and
still received the error message.. so now I'm even more confused!
I see that it's been a few months since your post.. have you made any progress here?</o:p>

How do I add an offline translation to the Bible app to use it when not connected to a network?

How do I add an offline translation to the Bible app to use it when not connected to a network?

You will need to contact the developer of the app and ask if that is possible. If not, you'll need to look for another app that doesn't require a network connection to function.

Thank you- so simple, and it worked!

IPhoto thinks it is importing photos when it is not. Help?

On my laptop, iPhoto thinks that it is importing photos when there isn't any devices plugged in. It will not let me quit due to this and I also cannot restart my computer, run software updates, etc. Any suggestions would be great. thank you!

Use the Force Quit command, under the Apple Menu

Hi,
Is there any error message throwed when you reconnect the mapped drive? Can you directly access the UNC path of the mapped drive? What VPN programs do you use? Please check if the VPN client connect correctly.
You could refer to the thread below to check if the AD account is restricted by VPN.
