IPad and Network Shares/Network File Browsing

I've heard of enabling WebDAV via IIS on a File Server to allow iDevices to connect to a network share within the network, but are there other ways to view file shares within an enterprise network(aside from third party apps, or cloud-based apps such as Dropbox)?

I think you will need third party stuff.  If you need security and ease of use  go with a Cisco ASA and Anyconnect.  This will give you both internal and external access.

  • E4200 Slow Wireless download and Network File Sharing

    When I first got the E4200 up and running I was able to transfer files from my wireless laptop to a wired laptop at speeds of over 2 MBps(distance was over 40 ft).  Now I have both laptops running wireless and a desktop that is wired via ethernet to the 4200 router and network file sharing runs much slower.  Right now network transfer speeds are around 500-550 kBps.
    Wireless network speeds are being affected also.  Wi-fi d/l speeds via Cisco speed test is usually 5-6x slower than my wired speed tests, with upload speeds being faster than the d/l speed(Laptop is only 2 feet away from router for testing).  And sometimes the wireless d/l speeds will slow down all the way to .15 mbps.
    Has anyone come across this problem and found a fix for it, or have some suggestions?  The router settings are mostly default and I have reset it to factory defaults via web interface and tried power cycling.  But nothing so far has worked.  I would hate to have to return this router and go back to the wrt54g.

    Ok, well I tried all these and changing the MTU down to 1365 made it run real slow, so I found out the optimal mtu and switched between auto and manual 1500, and auto gave me more consistent speeds.  It does seem to be running a bit faster with the name change of the 5 ghz band, and changing the channel of the 2.4 ghz band(Name changing 2.4 band did not make any noticable differences). 
    Right now I am getting download speeds around 10 mbps on the vista laptop(wireless), while the windows 7 desktop(wired) and laptop(wireless) are usually around 5.3-6 mbps.  File sharing between the windows 7 machines are 4.3 MBps and 2.9 MBps between vista laptop and W7 desktop.  Upload speeds on all machines are around 7mbps.
    I am happier with the more consistent speeds between all machines instead of really fast between just 2, but am confused to why the vista laptop is running faster and my upload speed is faster than the download speeds on 2 of my machines.

  • I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Just upgraded my ipad 2 software to iso7 and all my Video name titles have gone? I have 4 films on the ipad and I share about 200 films from my pc, now to watch a film I need to randomly select one to see which film it is before I play it.. This is bad!

    You cannot go back to an earlier version of iOS.
    If you are having Wi-Fi problems I suggest going to some location that offered free Wi-Fi. Your library or a Starbucks perhaps. Does your iPad connect there and work well?
    If your iPad works well there you can eliminate the iPad and it's iOS as the cause of your problem.
    If your iPad still acts up when connecting to the other Wi-Fi sources I'd suggest a visit to an Apple store to help discover the problem. Be sure to make an appointment prior to going to the Apple store.

  • Time machine and network file server

    Hi,
    Is it possible to set up the time machine to a network file server which my macbook is able to see and use? Right now, time machine is limited to be used with a delicated external HD or another Mac...
    It would be convenient to share files between my 1st mac and other windows PCs.

    armyedwrd wrote:
    I believe I can do a work around by simply sharing my External HD so that that can happen. It's just very awkward to navigate to that shared drive each time we access it. If I had separate backup HDs for each MAC, I think I could use the TC as a media server (at least that's what I get from the marketing material here ).
    You might want to try one of the workarounds in #Q3 of Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
    Have you ever used Time Machine Editor? Is it worth downloading and using?
    It's not recommended;  Time Machine usually works best the way it was designed.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #13.

  • Tomcat and network file access permissions

    Hi there,
    We have a servlet running in Tomcat 4.1 environment in one windows 2003 server (DOMAINONE) , and we write the logs in another machine (different domain DOMAINTWO). We have a USER1 who has access to both domains and has access to map the drive to DOMAINTWO. We have mapped G drive to \\DOMAINTWO\SHAREDDRIVE. The servlet needs to write information to g:\logs and what we are having problem with is that Tomcat is throwing an exception when writing to G: Is there any settings we need to do at the Tomcat configuration file (security settings).
    Tomcat is started by USER1 as well.
    ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    John

    Are you using a Logging package or just trying to create a File object and writing text to it?
    If the later, you may want to look at URLConnection.getOutputStream() and wrapping that with a BufferedOutputStream and writing to that.
    Even though you're mapped and all that, it may look like a "local drive" to you, but it's not. There's a whole bunch of negotiation and networking that needs to go on that a File class is just not designed to do, but a URL is.
    There are other options as well which would make something like this WAY more scalable. Do you ever have to move this thing?

  • I have a new ipad and want to create files for my documents I brought over from my Mac. How do I create file folders?

    I would like to create file folders for my documents I brought over to my ipad from my desktop Mac. I downloaded pages and neu.annotate. My files synced without a problem. PDF articles I put in neu.annotate and pages documents into pages but I would like to organize into folders like on my desktop. How can I do this on the ipad3?

    Unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system and everything on it has to be stored/associated within an app, you can't have separate folders of documents/files on your iPad's homescreens. If the apps that you have support it then you could possibly use Dropbox to store your documents within a folder structure, but you'd then need internet access in order to access them.

  • Issues with building for device testing on iPad and Network/USB debugging

    I recently upgraded to FB 4.7 and Air3.5 to use the much needed USB debugging (I was not having any luck connecting with network debugging in FB 4.5, with port forwarding...). I am on a Windows machine (but am able to have someone load the IPA on a device for me from a Mac via Xcode).
    Now, when I try to build a debug IPA for deployment on device, I get an invalid value error with the following InfoAdditions tag (same application file worked in FB 4.5).
    <InfoAdditions><![CDATA[
                                  <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
                                  <array>
                                            <string>1</string>
                                            <string>2</string>
                                  </array>
                        ]]></InfoAdditions>
    Secondly, neither debugging method connects. I have FB with the "waiting to connect message" and the iOS device with a Popup "waiting for AIR to connect...", but they never do. Am I missing something? Do I need iTunes on the windows machine for FB to recognize iOS device or do I need to load IPA with special commands? Thanks! I see a lot of hacked ways to do this via command line, but this is supposed to be working in FB 4.7 now.

    Hi ,
    iTunes should be installed on the machine for the USB debugging on iOS to work. Once the application is installed on the iOS device , manually launch the application to make debugger connection.
    Please post the screenshot of the error message .
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

  • I bought a new laptop how do I sync my ipad and get all the files synced to my old laptop

    I bought a new laptop. Can I sync my ipad to it?  And how do I get all the files that were synced to my old laptop?

    Do you still have your old computer with your media (music, films, etc) on it so that you can copy them over from it ? If you do then there are a number of methods on this page for how you could copy it over from it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    If not, and if you don't have your content elsewhere (e.g. music that wasn't bought from iTunes), then there are some programs listed half-way down this page for how to copy content back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For iTunes downloads you should be able to copy them from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
    Also see this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    If you want to copy files/documents from the iPad then how you do so depends upon what app that they are in and what the app supports e.g. file sharing on the Apps tab in iTunes, transfer via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc

  • Ipad and olympus ORF raw files from epl-1

    I have an ipad that I've used as something of a photo storage device while on vacations. I do underwater photography and each day I come in and download the card to my ipad. In the past I've used a point and shoot that saved the files in a jpg format and had no problem with any software being able to read or edit those files. Recently I purchased an olympus epl-1 camera and started shooting in raw. I followed my normal procedure and uploaded the files each day to the pad and it seems to allow me to view them without difficulty. Last night I downloaded the files to the computer in order to batch convert several to jpg's in photoshop elements. Photoshop tells me it cannot read the orf format from any of the files I downloaded from the pad. PSE has no trouble reading the raw files from the same camera that I had not uploaded to the pad. Does the pad change the files in some way? I intend to pull the files off of the cards tonight and see if pse will read them. Is this a known issue? I haven't found anything about it. Thanks for your help.

    The files should not have been changed by the iPad. Bear in mind that there are a half a zillion versions of RAW. It may be that the iPad does not support Olympus RAW.

  • HT4910 i had pdf files in my ibook icon, ipluged in ipad and lost all the files?

    I had pdf files in ibooks, i pluged my ipad2 into my pc. got into itunes and i think i lost them.
    can i retreave it ??

    Thanks for letting those who come here for help know that my navigation instructions are wrong on a PC with iTunes 11. The issue though is computer independent and relates to iTunes 11.  When the device and iTunes quit syncing back and forth, there is potential for data loss. When trying to manually update, the iTunes library wants to replace the contents of the device with the library.  That is not a problem if the content is complete.  I had a situation where multiple pdf documents were added to iBooks from sources other than iTunes and were failing to sync back to iTunes.  I had a choice, let iTunes replace the contents of my device and lose my pdf's or figure out a way to get my documents off the device and add them back.  I chose the later, emailing them from iBooks to my computer.  I then synced my iTunes library to the device replacing its contents.  I added back my pdf's by dropping them into iTunes and synced.  I have not experienced the problem since. My device and iTunes are now syncing with each other properly, including wirelessly.

  • Do iMovie and iPhoto share source files?

    I want to pair down the photos and videos that I have stored in iPhoto.
    However, I do not want to mess up my iMovie projects.  I hope to eliminate the iPhoto files but keep the iMovie projects.
    Can anybody tell me if iPhoto and iMovie use the same photo and video files?  How does the linkage work?
    I tried a test and made a IMovie project and then deleted the event in iPhoto and it did not affect my iMovie project.  However, when I am in iMovie and click on a photo or video and say "reveal in finder" it shows me that the photo or video is stored in iPhoto Library!  This makes me nervious about deleting the iPhoto event file.
    I am running OS X Mavericks.  I am running iPhoto 9.5 and iMovie 10.0

    I don't use iMovie much at all but you can test it this way:
    1 - select a movie file in iPhoto that is in iMovie and export it to the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Kind + Original.
    2 - delete the movie from iPhoto and empty both the iPhoto and Dock trash bins.
    3 - launch iMovie and see if the movie is still there.
    Also ask in the iMovie community as they will have more experience with iMovie it's relation to iPhoto than I.

  • Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

    i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
    any help or suggestions welcome

    Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone?  Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
    The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem.  Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem?  During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
    Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad.  For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
    Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
    Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
    Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
    Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
    Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
    Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
    Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
    Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
    We can investigate further based on what you will find.
    Thank you for your help.
