Interaction of Bridge and Network drive?

Hi All:
I just put a 1T byte network attached drive in my system and moved all my
photos and rebuilt cache for Bridge on that drive. I did this so I could
access my files from my main computer or laptop on my wireless network. All
seem to work as it should except that since I did this Bridge is crashing
often. There seems to be no pattern. Sometime with in seconds of opening it
will popup a message that it has a problem and needs to close. Other times
I will be in CS3 editing with Bridge idle in the background and it will do
the same thing. Is this a known problem, or am I seeing something new? Ive
not had a big problem with crashes before. It did crash but not very often.
Now its doing every time I use it. Im running XP on both computers with
2gigs of memory in each. The drivers are up to date on both computers. The
network drive is WD world book. This cant be that strange of a thing to do
so Bridge should be able to handle it.

In most cases I am doing nothing in Bridge when it crashes. More that half
the time Im in Photoshop editing and Bridge is in the background idle and
it goes by by. One thing I notice, when I restart Bridge it comes up in the
folder or task that was were I was the time before it crashed. That is if I
was in directory A, then went to B and while I was in B it cashed. When it
restarts it will be in A, not B like it normally would. As for the drive
speed when I'm on the laptop it's a wireless connection. On the desk top
it's a hard wired connection to the router of about 6' or 2m you choose.
This is a local network and I'm the only user. I can notice the speed
difference when I load or save photos as there is no way a network drive is
as fast as a local drive in a computer.
But then I'm only using the network drive to store files and Bridges cache.
Photoshop and Bridges scratch disk are on local disks in the respective
computers. The desk top scratch disk is on a separate high speed disk which
is shared only with windows scratch file. These are both older computers
but they fast enough to run Photoshop well. My thought is there is some
interaction between the World Book network drive and Bridge but figuring
out what to do about it is going to be tough. A network drive is in essence
a computer/hard drive/network interface in a box. In this one the computer
is running Linux. In fact I can access this drive from anywhere even here
at work through the network.

Bridge and network drive

I am planing to set up a Drobo network drive and three mac work stations with PSCC and BRCC.
Can Bridge run as a network application?
In other words if the source files live in the network drive, when computer A makes a Br collection,
do computers B and C see the same Br collection?
When computer B labels a files do computers A and C see the same label?
When computer C makes a PSCC edit do computer B and C see the updated image preview?

You have posted in the Scripting Forum…? This question is better suited to the General Forum…?

I'm not familiar with Google Drive but in basic Bridge is a browser that is able to view content of folders on your internal and external HardDrives. Some people manage to view files using a network environment but Bridge is not developed for this purpose.
If you have other situations like files in Libraries or catalogs (LightRoom and iPhoto to name a view) then Bridge is not capable in viewing this content, only the original applications can do so. Maybe Google Drive is similar and using a structure that is not directly viewable?

There is something incompatible would be my guess. Did you disconnect all your peripherals in safe mode just to check?
You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions.

Workaround for slow Bridge when network drive is inaccessible?

Hello all,
Hoping someone has some information regarding an issue I'm having with my workflow and Bridge. I have CS6 installed and am using the 64bit version of Bridge for file management. I work from 2 locations at the moment and have a portable drive that I take with me from place to place with my work files on it. In one location I can plug the drive directly into my system via USB, but in the other location (for various reasons) I have to plug it in elsewhere and access the drive through a network. This all works fine and I have no issues with getting to my files in general. Where I do get an issue however is when I start trying to add shorcuts to the drive within the "Favorites" menu in bridge.
The short of it is that as long as I have a shortcut to the networked drive in the Favorites menu, Bridge will run EXTREMELY slow when I am at the work location where I am accessing the drive directly. It appears that Bridge is trying to look for the networked drive on all the networked computers at that workplace every time I try to access a file or even use the menu system within Bridge (to right click a file for properties for example). I can alleviate the issue by removing the networked drive from my favorites or disconnecting form the internet (that one is not a practical option however), at which time Bridge stops trying to constantly look for the drive eveywhere and returns to normal speed.
This isn't a horrible issue for me, it just creaates a lot of repeat work of having to navigate to the network every time I open bridge again at the location where I access the drive remotely, or having to constantly re-add the networked drive back into the favorites every time... then having to remove it again before use at the other location and so on. Is there a way to adjust or change Bridge's behavior to basically tell it that if the specific drive isn't available after the first attempt to ignore it from then on unless I specfically click on the favorites link? Or in lieu of that, is there a way to have alternate "profiles" within Bridge that have seperate favorites etc. so that I can switch back and forth depending on the location I am at?
Like I said, not a horrible issue, but I really like having the quick, easy access to the drive that the favorite menu provides and would love to have a work around if one is possible. I realize that this setup is not common and so I might just have to deal, but if there is a super user solution or something I can tweak in a config file somewhere I would love to know! Thanks for the input and advice in advance!

Thanks for taking the time to respond guys! Yeah, I didn't think there would be any easy answer to this one. I actually have never had any issues running Bridge with any network I've been on with the exception of the lag when the network drive isn't present. Or to be more specific, severe lag when the networked drive is stored in favorites and then is absent in a situation where there is another different network of computers present. Don't know if it will help anyone who is trying to connet to a network drive etc. but all I do to get Bridge to "see" the network drive is navigate to the desired network drive or folder in Windows Explorer and then drag the drive or folder icon over from the Windows Explorer browser into my favorites area in Bridge. It drops the network link right into the favorites menu complete with a special network icon for the link. That has proven to be the fastest way for me to get a correct and functional connection to a network drive stored in Bridge. I was doing this with Bridge CS5 as well and it has always worked great for me.
For my network drive situation specifcally, I actually link to the entire drive as It's used solely for my design work. It's uniquely named with a title specific to me and my business so it definitely wouldn't be sharing a common name with any other drives or folders on another system on the network. I save the link to the network drive in my favorites and then I only ever have to click that to get to the root directory of the drive and navigate to whatever I need. Works great and super fast at the location where I need to use the network drive. Maybe I don't have hiccups like some because my computer has a reserved IP for that network tied to the MAC address of my computer so it is always the same IP every time.
The functionality I would like is actually very close in Bridge, with the only issue being that it insists on searching other computers on the network after every process it does if the network drive isn't present. The location I work at that doesn't use the network drive setup has 5 computers linked up to their network and so I guess it's scouring each of those every time I do any single thing in Bridge, looking for the long lost network drive lol! I have to confess this is strange behavior and really seems like a bug (albeit maybe a minor one due to the unusual workflow method) to me and Bridge is the only software I have that does this type of behavior. I can't really think of a good reason why you would need Bridge to look for a drive or folder in a location other than the one you have specified in the favorite path for it. I mean what if you have 2 copies of the same folder in different locations for backup purposes? You wouldn't want Bridge taking the initiative on it's own and accessing your backup folder without telling you, especially if there are legacy versions of a file you wish to retain in the backup location.
If anyone ends up having a solution for this I would love to hear it! Otherwise I'll just have to hope that Adobe eventually buffs up the network functionality of Bridge down the road and in the meantime add and remove the favorites path all the time. I would think smooth network functionality would be increasingly needful and important however. I mean Adobe even offers a cloud service version of their software... That implies to me that they are aware that more and more work will be done "in the cloud" and over networked scenarios. I have my fingers crossed! Thanks again for the info guys!

My external drives no longer appear in Finder, BUT they do appear in Disk Utility (and network drives appear also)

Hi folks, I hope someone can assist. I have a Mac Mini 2011 running 10.8.5. All has been well. Suddenly, when I plugged in an external flash drive (USB), nothing showed up in Finder. Things I have done:
Confirmed SideBar and other Finder preferences are set to show/reveal external, network, and internal HDs
Tried multiple flash drives and hard drives, using drives formated in GUID/OSXExtended as well as FAT and NTSF. None show up.
Confirmed that the Hidden flag in terminal is not set.
Note: I can see the drives in Disk Utility, but the partitions/volumes are gray and will not be mounted.
Note: Network drives and internal drives appear and work as expected
Note: My network Time Machine also appears and performs as expected.
The only suspect I can think of is a small, free app I installed this morning called Caffein (which manages the sleep mode).
Also, I loged out and switched to another user account on the same machine (that I use solely for the purpose of troubleshooting), and it was similarly affected.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

N8 Belle and Network Drive mapping.

Hello! Today I tried to move a large video file from my phone to a pc, but I didn't have the USB cable with me and nobody has the mini-usb cable laying around and Bluetooth is way too slow. Then I remembered using the convenient "Map Network Drive" option. I tried looking in the file browser where it was before, but then after googling it I found out that it was removed in Belle.
I hope it's coming back as I remember it to be pretty convenient as wi-fi is pretty fast and I see no reason in removing features with updates.
Thanks

Apple TV3 and network drive

I like Home Share, but when is Apple going to give us Apple TV owners an option to stream our privately owned content from a network drive? My Panasonic Blu-ray player does this, why not Apple TV. Please add this option to Apple TV in the next firmware update? Please? Can somebody from Apple please respond to my request and maybe suggest this option to Apple for future firmware updates? Please? Home Share is cool, but I have to keep my power hungry computer running 24/7. It would be nice to add a 2 drive raided NAS to my network and stream content to my home theater from said NAS, while using my Apple TV. NAS drives only use a few watts from the wall, so this would save on my electricity bill.

The only way currently to do this is to jailbreak your apple tv and run XBMC on it. It can be a little tricky to set up but it is possible. I agree, this should work out of the box. It is not clear why Apple is resisting this add-on. Most folks don't have an extra computer that they can leave running for content sharing. If they do, its an old one that is too slow to do this.'
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but the truth.

AEBS and Network drive

I am keen to upgrade to the new draft n basestation as I think the ability to have a hard drive connected to it is the coolest feature of all. However I believe I am limited to a drive that connects via USB2.0 as that is all that the new draft n basestation supports. Is this not significantly slower than a FW800 connection would have been? I am interested in the G-Drive 500GB drive but need to make sure I buy the right one.
PowerBook G4 15FW800 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB RAM

Thank you.
I am disappointed that Apple has not taken advantage of the full speed of the "n" and am excited about this feature for having a networked drive attached in my wireless environment. My primary use for this at this point is as a back up drive so while it would be nice if this operated as fast as possible it isn't all that important - just irritating. I would like to be able to use the drive as well or perhaps through a hub have another drive on which to keep music files for streaming into iTunes. My PBG4 only has an 80GB hard drive which is perilously full (only 9GB available) and if I could shift the 16GB of music onto such a networked drive I feel I would get better performance out of the PBG4 when editing video or just using it for general email/internet access.
I do sort of wonder if at some point Apple will release a version of the AEBSn with more options for connectivity which is one thing that makes me somewhat hesitant to rush out and buy one right now, particularly as my PBG4 is not "n" compatible at this point, but given my space issues I am eager to use the network feature. I am surprized that Apple didn't tout this as the best feature of the new basestation.

Need to backup Time Capsule, (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 used as wireless router and network drive

I use Time Capsule, 802.11n (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 (1Tb) as a wireless router and a network drive. I do not use Time Machine at all. How do I create a backup of the files housed on the Time Capsule to an external drive?
Also, why does the use of Time Capsule as a network drive seem to be such an usual configuration? The configuration makes sense to me, aside from the inability to automatically back up the Time Capsule itself to a cloud or other drive, which, to me, is what really makes no sense at all. Is there something else I should be using? I'm not too familiar with the wisest way to set up a home network. I just know I like to wirelessly have access to my files from multiple computers within my household as opposed to saving files on any one computer locally.
Thanks for your assistance and advise!

You could connect a USB hard-drive to the USB port on the TimeCapsule and Enable Disk Sharing on both the TC's Built in Drive as well as the USB connected one.
Then these drives can be mounted using finder and files copied between them as needed.
The main advantage of time-machine is - automation(like you mentioned) + to be able to go back in time - i.e. ability to restore files from a certain date/time. Multiple versions are available for restore.
Also in Mountain Lion - You can restore your mac from a time machine backup very easily - it is one of the options when you boot to the Recovery Partition (ditto when you boot ML from DVD/USB)
Hope this helps.

Watch Folders and Network Drives

Hello,
I'm trying to find a solution to this and it's driving me crazy. I would like to use a network drive as a watch folder in PSE. I have PSE3 and am curious if this has been fixed in PSE4 (which removes the network drive after you add it, which is very annoying).
I'm curious if anyone has gotten this to work through either using an NT domain account for the file service or any other solutions.
Any ideas?

Well I finally figured out a way to get this working, but it's truly a pain. I moved all my machines into a domain and ran the "Adobe Active File Monitor" service under a domain account that has permissions on all shares I want to watch.
It doesn't seem to work with mapped drives - instead you have to go in through the network neighborhood, but it does work. At that point you can have PSE watch folders pick up changes on a network share.

Sleep and Network Drives

Is it normal for my Mini to not -Automatically- go to sleep when a network drive is mounted?
It still sleeps if I do it manually OR if there are no network drives mounted.
Just wondering...

No sorry, I have the same problem. I have searched this forum but haven't found the solution yet. It seems to be a Samba problem. The Mac will not go to sleep when the network drives are mounted, and when manually put to sleep the drives will auto-dismount.

Repackager and network drives

Is it possible to have repackager scan network drives?
We have two programs that we install files to the users Home directory.
So far, we have not found a way to have repackager scan anything more
than the local drives.
Snapshot was great at this, but so far repackager is eluding us.
Any suggestions?

"Files not found" and network drive

I'm new to iTunes, and I think there's something fundamental I don't understand about it. I'm hoping someone here can clue me in.
Here's the situation: I have iTunes 7 on a 2.8GHz laptop running WinXP. It's connected via ethernet-based home network to a 400MHz desktop running WinXP. I have a lot of MP3s and M3U playlists created with Winamp on the desktop, which has a much larger hard drive than the laptop -- IOW, I'm not willing to move the MP3s to the laptop, but I want to run iTunes using the laptop's faster CPU (it also has the high-speed USB port my wife's "new" 4G iPod requires).
So what I did was to point the iTunes music folder to the mapped network drive on the desktop and then import all the M3U playlists into iTunes. So far, so good. I can then sync the iPod and all the songs get copied over. However, the next time I reconnect the iPod, all the songs have the "!" symbol next to them, indicating iTunes can't "find" them. When attempting to sync, I get the message that the songs were not copied because they could not be found. I can manually re-point the files to the directory on the mapped drive, but what a pain! The files in the mapped directory are in multiple sub-directories, but iTunes doesn't seem to have trouble searching recursively through sub-directories, so I doubt that's the issue.
I don't see anything in the documentation about problems of this nature with network drives. Is this a "known" issue in the sense that everyone else knows about it except me? If this has been discussed elsewhere on the forum, let me know.
TIA,
Eric
Dell Windows XP Pro

I too find it disturbing that this software is not "home network friendly" I have a similar setup and have digitized 200+ cd's including everything that my kids listen to as well. There are also several wirelessly connected computers in my house, and the last thing I want is a half-dozen copies of every song scattered throughout the house chewing up disk space. So far, I have 3 iPods in our household and my goal is to centrally store music files and allow network access from remote pc's on my network to sync our iPods with music that we own. Windows Vista has this capability with media player 11, and if I were so inclined, I would buy generic mp3 players that are compatible with MS MP sync, but I would like to give Apple a chance to add this feature. If not, the iPods can always be sold on ebay and replaced with MS compatible devices. I don't really want to do this because we do like our iPods.
