Link to Network Drive with Spaces

I need to create a link in SharePoint 2010 that points to a network drive with spaces in the title. SharePoint substitutes %20 for spaces, but I need the space character.
For example:
file:///\\company\foldername works
file:///\\company\folder name does not work, it becomes
file:///\\company\folder%20name
Has anyone run into this issue before?

Hi Andy,
20% represents space in url encoding and it is hardcoded. I don’t think it is better to remain space character in the link.

Here is a thread discuss about that:

Using network drive with time machine. IS IT POSSIBLE?

There are lots of discussion on using network drives with time machine. I have not been able to make them work. Could somebody tell me if this is possible

Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or USB drives connected to an Airport Extreme, or a drive on a Mac running Leopard.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
If you still think this is a good idea, do yourself a favor before you bet your backups on it: be sure it really works, at least for now:
1. Get a copy of CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! or the like, and make a full bootable clone of your internal HD, on an external disk. Test it by booting from it. Then reboot from your internal HD.
2. Let TM do it's first, full, initial backup.
3. Attempt a full system restore (like you'll need when, not if, your internal HD fails), via the instructions in item 14 of the of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
Again, even if it works today, tomorrow is another day . . .

Opening Documents in Office Desktop client creates sharepoint links in network drive folder

Hi Guys
Having an issue where if a document is opened from sharepoint or through the explorer window in Office, a "folder" is created in the network drive folder which has a sharepoint link to the document. I realise this is probably a built in versioning
feature of SharePoint but it's becoming a bit of a pain with the sheer volume of links being created. Any ideas how to turn off this feature or bug?
Thanks//

Hi,
Could you capture the screenshot of the "folder"? Please specify the "folder" path in the screenshot.
In my environment, whether I open the document from site UI or open library with Windows Explorer, then open document, there is no folder created.
Please test the issue on another PC and check if it is related to client machine.

Home Hub 3 - problems using network drive with OS ...

Hi ,
I have recently switched back to BT and received the HH3 , all wifi connectivity is good . However , I am having problems connecting to the external hard drive I have plugged into it . We have to macbook pros in the household one running Leopard and mine which unfortunately ( it seems ) is running Lion.
The MBP running leopard can see and connect to the network drive (1tb Seagate Expansion Drive FAT32)perfectly. However I am having problems doing the same via Lion . The HH3 is visible in Finder under shared and the usb_disk folder is visible , however when I click on it to access the external hard drive I am presented with this error :
As I said the MBP running Leopard has no issues and connects perfectly :
I have checked the HH3 which is running the latest firmware and checked to see if there was any firmware update to the Seagate , which the isn't !!
ANY advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Ah! that might be the problem, something residual, I did have a machine dual boot W7 and Ubuntu, now it just runs Unbuntu, but I decided to do a clean install.
I dont think the macs have a problem with HH3, yes I picked that post about dual booting, interesting cos the obvious thing to do would be apply different static ip addresses to each O/S, that way the Hub sees them as static addresses for 2 machines, rather than setting them as dynamic by selecting always use the same ip address.
Anyway there's a recent post on here regarding printers and Lion which got resolved, but again I looked at that from a windows pint of view.
I've googled a couple of links which you have probably already found, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3213886?start=0&tstart=0 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3213886?start=0&tstart=0 the second one I know relates to ntfs external drives, but what I'm looking at is the solution using sudo mount and the various switches used.
But you may just have to bite the bullet and do a clean install.

Im using a network drive with time machine and im getting error 45. Time machine will not work now. Why?

I bought a seagate goflex home 2TB network drive. It worked with time machine for a couple of weeks than now it wont. It just says ERROR 45 now and will not back up. Why?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
According to several related Time Machine Error 45 threads in these forums, Time Machine is not well suited to backups on most non-Apple network drives.

Excel 2007 and 2010 slow to save to network drive with Windows 7

I know this issue has been passed around and I know that there are some fixes out there. I will lay out my issue and resources, what I've tried and the things I've noticed.
I have a mix of Server 2003 32bit, 64 bit and 2008 64 bit. The desktop/laptop environment is mainly XP (no issues saving with an XP machine), a few Win 7 computers and a dozen thin clients running off the 2008 TS. The slow saving issue happens with either
a Win 7 machine or a client terminal served into 2008. It takes 60 seconds or more to save or "save as" an excel file to a network drive. Same thing happens with any Office product. No issue saving to the local machine. If you log into either 7 or
TS with the domain admin account, the saving takes no time at all. Only as a domain user does it hang.
I have tried the SMB2 trick, the 981711 hotfix, turning off indexing and starting the webclient service. I am probably forgetting a trick or two that I've seen online from various people having the same issue. Point is though, the issue remains and besides
being utterly annoying, it is preventing me from rolling Windows 7 out to my employees. Please Help. Thank you in advance for any advice posted

Hi,
Have you tried to create a new txt file with notepad to test this issue? If this issue also happens on .txt file, you should check your network.
And I suggest all users disable their anti-virus to see if the problem goes away.
There are other things to try if the problem is evident in all of the documents you open. When EXCEL is not running, make sure you delete all the temporary files that
EXCEL may have left lying around various folders in your system. Look for files that end with the TMP extension, or files that being with the tilde (~) character. If your file folders become very cluttered with these temporary files, it can slow EXCEL down
immensely.
Another thing to try is to start EXCEL with the
/a switch on the command line. This causes it to load without also loading different startup files such as add-ins and macros. If this fixes the problem, then you can bet that the slowdown is caused by one of those add-ins or macros.
You might also rename the Normal.dot (or Normal.dotm) file; if it is corrupted then it can slow down response times. (Renaming the file causes Word to create a clean,
fresh, empty one the next time you start the program.)

Windows Server R2 stop working. Cannot map network drive with my Win 7 client.

Hi to everyone.
I had a problem for quite some time time and even i tried to solved it till now unfortunately seems unreachable.
I have a 2008 R2 server which is used as SQL 2005 server. My application program shared from the server. My win 7 client use a map network drive to access my share folder from my windows server. Suddenly my clients lost my connection. Since then i
cannot connect to the folder and i got the message
Windows cannot access \\Server\Storage
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Details: Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
I check out my share permissions, all seems ok. I also check out firewall, services, TCP/IP, share folders, really almost everything but still nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the problem.

Yes what seems to happened is due to virus infections.
This problem started 2 weeks a go. First i had network connection error with my client. Them my application had respond errors. Finally i lost my network drive.
I realize that the problem was due to virus. My old antivirus program doesn't s scan any threats so i uninstalled it, and i installed Panta antivirus and i clean up my server and my clients from virus. I am sure that both are clean from virus. My antivirus
program runs every day with no traces of infections.
Since then i cannot see my share folders on my server side and i cannot map network drive.
One thing that i want to avoid is re-installation of windows server 2008 R2.
Can anyone help about this
Thanks

Using network drive with iPhoto and iMovie

I bought a QNAP TS 212 NAS Drive and have it successfully set up on my network. I can see the drive and access its content through finder on my iMac. It is even visible in iTunes and am able to play media stored in it. But am unable to view the attached NAS Drive in iPhoto or iMovie. How can I use this NAS drive for storage of pcitures and video using above softwares?

You would be able to store your original files on the NAS with your Library on the internal drive with Aperture.
Note that this means other devices accessing those files will see no edits, just the files as imported from camera.
also since you seem an expert on iPhoto, is there a way to change default storage set up. I want my pictures to be assorted and saved under "album names" rather than year, month and date.
No. If you use iPhoto then the files are never accessed via the Finder, but only through iPhoto. So, how they are stored on the HD is just back end management for iPhoto.
Is there a way to export all the pictures in various albums and have them arranged under separate folders with matching album names?
If you have the most recent iPhoto 11, then yes, it's an option in the export dialogue. If you don't then
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
I would caution you about both iPhoto and Aperture. Neither of these apps have any cross platform ability. Both use virtualisation for lossless processing. Simply, apps from other OSes will not make any sense of these apps. You would need to export everything from them to have edits available to other OSes.

Why can't I make my Segate expansion drive a network drive with my Airport extreme

Please explain in simple terms. I'm trying to make a media server and connect it to my PS3

I'm not clearly understanding what the issue is. You have your Seagate drive connected to Airport Extreme via USB? Do you have any computers that can connect to the network drive?

LabVIEW for Mapping of Network Drives with Error Handling

Is there a way to do the following easily in LabVIEW?
- List drive letters and network paths of existing mapped drives on host PC
- Check if a desired mapped drive is connected and if its disconnected reconnect to it
- Receive related errors that may occur during attempting a connection to a mapped drive (i.e. path cannot be found, etc...)
I know how to do most of this in VBScript but I'd like to avoid having ANY code for the work I'm doing be "non-G"!
Thanks for your time!

Looking to buy a hard drive to use as network drive with EA4500, help with compatibility options

I need a new hard drive, I would like at least a 2TB, or more ideally a 3TB. The only drive I see on the list that would work is the STAY 3000100 Expansion 3TB External HD USB 2.0. There is another 3TB drive that shows as being compatible, but it's a Western Digital and I haven't had good luck with WD. I was wondering if anyone else has a 2TB or 3TB drive that they are using successfully, even though it's not on the tested compatible list. I have already tried using my OWC Mercury On-The-Go 1TB, and it won't even recognize a drive as being plugged in. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, that is the only list of compatible drives with the router. So, yes, that is the list I am referring to when I said "compatible drive list". There are very few 2TB or 3TB drives on the list. I would really like to be able to use a 3TB drive with a couple partitions, and that seems almost impossible with very few options. I have been reading around the last couple days and I hear lots of reports of people successfully using drives that are not on the tested compatible list. I just wanted to know more options from people like that.

How do I search network drives with Snow Leopard?

I cannot find a way to search available network drives using either Spotlight or the Find command. This is a simple action in Windoze. How do I do it in Snow Leopard (10.6.8)?

I finally found a partial answer at: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
The rest of the story is that you have to change the back slashes in the Windows address to forward slashes in a Mac browser address field to get to the folder. NOTE that the Finder's Go command is useless for such connections.

Music files moved to a new network drive with a new volume name

I had to replace my old network attached harddisk which held all my music ( mainly mp3 ) files. This drive was automounted and had the name "MUSICHD". My new network attached storage device ( LACIE Ethernet Disk mini 500GB ) has the volume name "SHARE" and it's not possible to change it.
I copied all the files onto the the new drive, but now I have to tell iTunes that the files are not longer on a volume called MUSICHD. Could somebody be so kind and give me an advice how to do it. Shure I could re-import all the music files, but I don't like to loose all my ratings, playlists, etc.
-wolfgang
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) iPod 5G

to be precise. I don't let iTunes manage my files. All my mp3 files are on a NAS ( Network Attached Storage ) device ( it's a 300 GB Harddisk with a 1GBit network connection from Buffalow ).
If I add mp3 files to my library I first copy it to the NAS device and than drag and drop the files to the iTunes library. So iTunes only manages the links to that files. Files are not imported or copied to/with iTunes.
Now I have to replace that NAS device by another one. Due to this replacement I have to change the network volume-name of the device. This share is part of the link in the iTunes database for each file.
If you look into the xml file you'll find something like this:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/SHARE/MUSIK/Blues/Dupree,%20Champion%20Jack/Blues%20From%20the%20Gutter/Dupree,%20Cha mpion%20Jack%20-%20Blues%20From%20the%20Gutter%20-%2001%20-%20Strollin'.mp3</str ing>
So the "simple" question is. How to tell iTunes that all my music files are now on another volume?

Full 1gb usb drive with space available

Have a 1gb USB drive that indicates 731 MB available but getting "no free disk space" messge when I try to copy 2mb jpg pictures.
This is information from Disk utility when I did a verify and repair on this drive

Thanks for any response.

Despite being formatted FAT there shouldn't be that kind of overhead. I have several FAT formatted flash drives and they work perfectly well with only nominal formatting overhead subtracting from the nominal 1 GB (I think 960-something MB free). The only difference is I use these and formatted them with Tiger.

Network drive free space

I need to be able to check how much drive space is available over my network. I would be plugging in the path of the drive (\\servername\driveletter) and need to be able to see the amount of space available. I was using the "volume info.vi" to get my local drive info, but couldn't get it to work over my network.

Opps, nevermind. Just a typo on my part
