Launching a network folder via Log-in items

Hello,
I have a network drive, and what I wanted to do was have the finder open those network folders whenever I boot up. So, I used log-in items to add the various folders. Now that I see that it launches a new finder window for each folder, I want to stop it. The problem is that the folders no longer show up as items in my log-in list. In other words, they are still opening up on log-in, but I can't see them set up as log-in items. Any suggestions?
Thanks

So this is a user specific issue.
Log into your user account.
Open a finder window.
Open the Library.
Remove the Preferences folder to the desktop.
Log out and back in.
The system creates a new set of default preferences.
Is the issue gone?
If it is then there is a corrupt preference file.
You can try to isolate which one is causing the issue by moving preferences to the newly created preferences folder in batches in order to isolate the culprit.
You could also just return key preferences such as the com.apple.mail.plist and simply set up new preferences just like you did when you first started the computer.

Open KM folder via WebDav - Invalid Item ID

Hi!
In our KM SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 we have some folders where a ! is in the name. There was no problem accessing these folders via WebDav since we installed SP 18. If I will access this folder now via WebDav, paste WebDav Url from flder into IE7 and open the link 'Navigation user interface' afterwards I will get an message like this: Invalid Item ID - the item you are attempting to access does not exists. Check wether the name of the associated repository is correct. In the Portal Log i found the following information: Syntax error in URI placeholder: <path to folder>
Any idea?
Thanks, Daniel

Hi Nitsan,
It depends from where you want to open the webdav folder.
1. From explorer:
Go to My network places, and add a new one with the URL you used before. Now it should open directly as a webdav folder. You can also map this to a network drive.
2 From a website:
Insert a link in the website using the following format:
<a style="behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick)" title="Webmap" href="" folder="http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/<km path>">Webfolder</a>
This should open directly from the website as a webdav folder.

Laser jet pro won't scan to network folder

I have just setup a Laserjet Pro 200 (MFP M276nw) and have it successfully printing from an iMac running Mavericks OS. I am also able to scan using the HP scanning utility. All of this is connected via my wireless network.
However, no matter what I try I am unable to scan directly into a network folder. I have setup file sharing and ensured it is enabled for SMB sharing. I have ensured that the computer account on the shared folder I have created has full read/write access. I have created the network folder via the printer' ews as per the HP instructions (the path being \\<my mac's IP address>\public) and made sure username and password are set correctly. When I test the network folder I get an "Unable to connect to network folder" message.
I have disabled the Mac's firewall and have ensured that the printer software and firmware are the most recent versions available (they weren't but I updated them). I have deleted the shares, disabled file sharing, rebooted and then re-enabled file sharing, re-created the shares and set them up again in the ews but still it doesn't work. I can ping the printer successfully from the Mac and as stated earlier, can print and scan using the HP scan utility.
I have rebooted the printer and also the router.
Please help!

Hi Aye_curumba,
I understand you can print and scan, but you are unable to scan to the network folder on the Mac. I can help you with this. It it is usually a issue with the path to the network folder.
Here are the steps below for setting up the network folder if you would like to try it.
You might have to contact Apple to get the registered user and password name.
I would ask them to help setup the network folder also.
1. Create a new folder on your computer.
2. Right click (CTRL+Left click if using the Mac keyboard) it and then select Get Info.
3. Unlock the screen, set the everyones term as Read & Write, located under Sharing & Permissions..
4. Enter System Preferences > Sharing and then select File Sharing from the left bar.
5. Click the Options button, mark the Share files and folders using SMB (Windows) and click Done.
6. Under Shared Folders, click the Plus sign and select the configured folder.
7. Make sure that "Everyone" permissions are set to Read & Write under the Users list as well.
8. You will see the IP Address listed at the top of that screen, take a note to configure it from the EWS page.
You should use the following path template:
//IP-ADRESS/Shared-Folder-Name
Make sure to include your username and password while setting the network folder scan.
I have provided a document for the setup for scanning to a network folder.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder).
Select Scan to a network folder.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a great day!

Using Shared Review via Network Folder on Windows server and PC and Mac users commenting

We are having initiation and connection problems on the Macs (running OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) with Shared Reviews (from Acrobat 9) that are stored on a Windows 2008 Server connecting via SMB. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who is successfully:
1) Initiating Shared Reviews from a Macintosh via "Automatically collect comments on my own internal server" and navigating to a folder (with full read/write permissions for all) on a Windows server. We cannot get Acrobat (via the automated SR set-up wizard) to verify the network folder location on the Macs so that a Mac user can initiate a Shared Review. On Windows (using Parallels or logging in to a PC directly), the same users have no problem initiating and accessing Shared Reviews.
2) Accessing Shared Reviews on a network folder (set up on a Windows 2008 server) via a Mac running OSX 10.6.4 and Acrobat 9. All users have read/write access to the folder and can navigate to it via the server. They can save documents to the network folder and open other documents there as well. When they open a Shared Review-enabled PDF for commenting, they get the error message that Acrobat cannot connect to the server. Retry results in the same error message.
We use Shared Reviews extensively and have no problems with PC users accessing the files and Mac users accessing them via Windows (Parallels or on a PC). This is very frustrating so I would really appreciate any ideas, especially if anyone is actually doing Shared Reviews this way.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is NOT fixed based on the testing I have done.
1) I am still unable to connect to the network folder on a Windows server from the Mac to initiate a Shared Review In Acrobat version 9.4.6. Same error message as previous Unable to locate server. See screenshot:
2) One of the Mac users (also upgraded to Acrobat 9.4.6) who was invited to participate in a Shared Review (initiated using Parallels/Windows) was initially able to open the file and Publish comments. However, after she did and closed the file, she was unable to reopen the same file, connect to the server and add comments. And no other Mac user could access the file after she added her first comments. We all got the error message "Unable to connect etc" See screenshot.
3) I opened the same file in Parallels/Windows with no problem. However, the Mac user's comments were not there. I could add comments and publish in Windows.
4) When I tried to access the Tracker from my Mac (review was initiated via Parallels), I got the error message File not Found when I tried to access the test review via my Mac (see screenshot).
Could you give me more information about the fix? I would also be happy to talk to you or send more details if that would help.
Our set up has not changed from the original information I sent (there may have been some Mac updates -- we are all on OS 10.6.8 but still Snow Leopard). Server has not changed.

Item bounded cropping @ scan to network folder

Hi,
When scanning from HP scan utility there's an option to crop the scanned items by boundaries (like in case where you scan multiple photos in 1 scan and want them being crooped to multiple files).
When scanning from the printer directly to network mapped folder, I think this crop option doesn't exist. Is there any way to make the printer crop by boundaries when scanning directly to network folder from the printer?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
A such only offered by the HP Software, auto cropping is not an option for the Direct Digital Sending option.
For a such I suggest selecting Computer from the printer scan menu and scanning to a picture (JPG), then a such will be made by the HP Software.

Network Folder Setup - "No Write Permission". Windows Vista.

Product: 8600 N911g
I am having issues in creating a network folder to scan to my computer. It responds ‘No write permission’
**NOTE**Before I allow you to continue reading, I need to first know to I need to create a password in my user account, or turn off UAC to create a scan network folder on my PC? If so, then that is what I need to do to correct this issue.
Steps I have performed in attempting to accomplish this task:
In Windows to create shared folder:
1) Created folder.
2) Open folder properties, under 'sharing' tab, selected 'Share' button, then selected 'Share' button.
3) A dialog window appears and states 'Sharing items', and when it is complete, it states "Your folder is shared. You may e-mail these links to notify people that you have shared these files, or copy the links onto the Windows clipboard, where you can paste them into any program you choose.”
4) When I select ‘Done’, it returns to the folder properties, and states in ‘Network File and Folder Sharing’ under ‘Sharing’ tab under ‘Network Path’: ‘Not Shared’.
**I don’t understand that it just said ‘Your folder is shared’, then under Network Path is stated ‘Not Shared’.**
5) Since in stated ‘Not Shared’, I selected ‘Advanced Sharing’, checked ‘Share this folder’ box, and under ‘Permissions’, checked ‘Full Control’ box.
6) Now it states Shared, and under ‘Network Path’ states the location: ‘ \\ADMIN-PC\ScantoDV9825 ’
In the HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g, Embedded Web Server to add network folder to scan to:
1) Opened ‘Scan’ section by clicking on the tab ‘Scan’. Under ‘Network Folder Setup’, the ‘Network Folder Configuration’ clicked on ‘New’.
2) Entered data for the following fieldsTEP 1 OF 4: Display Name: ‘Scan’, Network Path: ‘\\ADMIN-PC\ScantoDV9825’. Left User Name and Password fields blank. STEP 2 OF 4: Left PIN fields blank. STEP 3 OF 4: Did not make any changes, used default settings.
3) In STEP 4 OF 4 when I click on Save and Test, it returns with the message ‘No write permission’
How do I resolve this issue of ‘No write permission’?
Thank you.

Hi Robert,
First ensure the permissions are also set correctly by right clicking the shared folder, and then open the Security tab.
If your user name is not listed as Full Control click the edit button, add your user name and check the box for as Allow full control.
If that does not help, follow these steps in Windows Vista to make sure that your computer is configured to allow network sharing.
Step one: Make sure that the computer user account is password protected
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel .
Click User Accounts , and then select the account you used to log into the computer.
Click Change your Windows password , and then find the user account you used to log into the computer.
If the user account is password protected , continue to the next step.
If the user account is not password protected , click Create a password for your account to create a password, and then continue to the next step.
Step two: Define the network location
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel .
Click Network and Internet .
Click Network and Sharing Center .
Click Customize next to Your Network . The Set Network Location window opens.
Select Private , click Next , and then click Close .
Step three: Make sure that the network sharing and discovery options are correct
Open the Network and Sharing Center window.
In the Sharing and Discovery section, make sure that the following network options are set to On :
Network Discovery
File Sharing
Public Folder Sharing (password required)
Printer Sharing (password required)
Password Protected Sharing
Your computer network is now successfully set to complete the Scan and Fax to Network Folder or Digital Fax to Network Folder Wizard.

Log-In Items

Hi guys,
Running OSX 10.8.2 and I am having trouble with adding NAS shares to my log-In Items, I add them and sure enough at boot up they are mounted. The problem is that a finder window opens and displays the contents of the share, even when the 'hide' switch is ticked.
For what its worth I also have a G5 Powermac running 10.5 and an intel MacMini also running 10.8.2 and these also do not close the finder window. On the other hand I have a mid2011 iMac running 10.8.2 and it CLOSES the windows after they are opened (these are the same NAS shares).
All computers have the 'Hide' option clicked. Can anyone help with this irritating issue ?
If not can anyone tell me of a better way to mount NAS shares on startup ?
Many Regards
Ump..

Instead of adding those volumes manually, create a new AppleScript (using the AppleScript Editor application found in the /Applications/Utilities folder). Insert code like this:
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://10.0.1.5/volumename" as user name "myuser" with password "mypass"
end tell
You'll want to repeat the "mount volume" line for each volume you want to mount, and you'll need to replace the "10.0.1.5" with the appropriate IP address of the NAS on your network, "volumename" with the name of the volume and change the username and password to whatever is appropriate. Then save the result as an application, store it away somewhere, and make that a login item.

Scan To Network Folder Fails Post Install of Firmware Due To Password No Longer Being Passed

The scan to network folder has been working for over a year on my OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to a file share in a QNAP NAS. HP CLP1CN1435AR firmware was applied to the printer in Dec 2014. Upon my first need to use the scan to network folder feature in 2015 I find that it no longer works. Attempts to validate the once working scan setup failed. Though a variety of tests I have determined that the password entered into the web server on the printer is NOT being passed as part of the logon credentials to the QNAP.
I tested every possible combination going back to ground zero and starting fresh with multiple new user ids, passwords, network shares, 8 character user names, simple passwords, IP or hostnames in the network path, requiring SSL or not, etc. With each test, I validated that I could sign on directly to the NAS and that the user ID was authorized to change files in the network share. With each fail, I validated the logs in the router and in the NAS that traffic looked normal and it was the sign on credentials were the reason the NAS rejected the sign on. The only thing that worked was a guest ID from the NAS which does not HAVE a password. Any requirement for a password during the sign on to the NAS will not be honored or satisfied by the new firmware.
This is an egregious error - something that should have never made it out of even the first level of testing within HP. I would love to inform HP about this discovery but alas, my printer is 2 DAYS out of warranty so the forum is well the only voice with HP that I have.
Now I have to set up an unprotected area of my NAS by giving the gest account access which means that anyone who plugs a network cable behind my firewall gets to see the scanned information. Now I am very sorry I applied the firmware. Now I am getting to be sorry that I bought this and another HP printer despite being a customer for years.
I would love some help from HP but not going to put out for an extended warranty or pay for phone support for something that I have easily and clearly tested to be a problem with the new firmware.
If anyone has figured a way around this, please let me know. Hopefully it will help focus someone else who is experiencing the same problem. Network configurations can differ, ect but I am pretty sure the rash of posts in the last couple of months about the scan to network folder feature have the fail to pass the password error as the root cause.
Unhappily & insecurely scanning to a very public folder share until then. Information that is vulnerable regardless of how brief of a moment until it is moved off the share is still vulnerable information. It’s not something I can live with for the long term.

Hi @Road_Trip ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Publish report as PDF to a network folder

I'll take a chance and post this query here. We have been using Discoverer for 9+ years, against Oracle Financials. Most of our users are not that computer savy, and would rather have the report in a simple PDF or HTML format, delivered to their network folder, that they can look at for their budget information. What tool should person use to accomplish this?

Hi,
We can send reports in PDF format to a network folder using Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. Here is how I did it few months ago...
1.From your server, map the external drive to your server. \\rio.company.com\winserver\hypreports
2. Have a Domain account, example 'Hyp system' in MS Active Directory just for this purpose. Note: This account should have 'write' privilege to the folder created on network drive.
On the server, Hyperion services have 'Log On As' type 'Local System'. Change 'Log On As' type to your domain account
3.
1) create a output directory 'ODTest' as physical resource with path \\rio.company.com\winserver\hypreports\
2)import the 'file as job' in Interactive Reporting
3)add a schedule with action 'Export' and choose the output directory
Let me know if you have any questions.

How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?

Hi,
How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?
I have emptied the iPhoto Trash but the photos in network folder are still not deleted.
In iPhoto Preferences, Advance, Importing, I have UNCHECKED "Copy Items to iPhoto Library."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/philipcs/Screenshot2009-10-26at120221AM.p ng
Please help. Thanks.

iPhoto is a relational database management program and manages only items that it controls - items within its library - it does not and will not do anything with any photo that is not in the library except to delete photos from cameras after import - and this is not recommended
You are running a referenced library and it is not recommended - it makes deleting photos more difficult as you are seeing, it makes importing photos more difficult and it makes replacing or upgrading hardware much more difficult
