Loops on a Network Drive

I use a Macbook Pro and a G5. I have 7 drives on the firewire bus of the G5. I connect the two computers via gigabit ethernet.
I access the servers drives for many things, including sample libraries. At least I did in Logic 7.
Now, none of my loops will play in Logic 8. When I troubleshooted with Apple Loops Utility, I found it wouldn't save the files on the networked drive, even with 666 file permissions and proper ownership.
To test, I plugged in an external drive... and they work from there. But, I want to access my loops from a networked drive. How does one do this?
Thanks

I can not map a network drive in window 8.1 via VPN

Dear sir / madam,
I face a big problem. My company use VPN Connection. After my company upgrade the window from Window 7 to Window8.1 , we find that we can not reconnect the network drive. please find the details below:
1. I success to map drive and then logout / switch user.
2. wait two /three hours
3. i find the drive is disconnected.
4. when I try to reconnect, window can not find again. then I try to use netstat
C:\Windows\system32>netstat
TCP 172.28.97.31:58206 test-server:http TIME_WAIT
Then, i try to use cmd
5 it show reconnect successful by net use command. However , I need waste many time and I can not find the drive in window.
if I restart window, i can reconnect it quickly and find the drive in window.
the server is window server 2008 r2 and located at difference site.
if the server and PC located at same site, it is no problem.
both the server and PC are joined in same domain.
it is dell server and Lenovo M82 PC
please help me to solve the problem
(window 7 also have this problem. However, i can click the drive and it can reconnect quictly.i cannot do this in window 8.1.......it loop again)
thanks

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.

Hi,
How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
a re-logon.
example
@echo off
net use * /delete /yes
net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name

Network drives and System Update updating itself (Error 1327.Invalid Drive)

I have a Windows network share permanently mapped as a network drive on my system. This prevents Lenovo System Update 5 from updating itself.
Here is what happens:
Launch Lenovo System Update and click Next to look for updates.
When 'Searching for agent updates' it will tell me: 'System Update is updating itself. Your copy of System Update needs to be updated. Click OK to begin updating System Update.'
Click OK, Lenovo System Update will download the update and appear to install it.
At the end it will tell me: 'System Update was installed successfully'
Click Close, just to be sure I wait for a while so System Update can finish whatever it is doing in the background (if anything at all).
When nothing appears to happen I launch Lenovo System Update manually and it will tell me it needs to update itself again, and go to the same process as above. The update did not install successfully at all. System update keeps updating itself in a loop.
Next thing I tried is manually downloading the latest System Update version from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
I downloaded systemupdate503-09-17-2013.exe for my Windows 7 machine.
The installer detects to old version of System Update and offers to uninstall that. I click Yes.
A moment later the real error appears: 'Error 1327.Invalid Drive: S:\'
The only thing I can do now is press OK to close the installer.
The S:\ drive is my network drive which is permanently mapped to a share on my NAS.
It is not an invalid drive, S:\ opens fine in Windows Explorer.
I don't know why the System Update installer wants to access my S: drive in the first place. All my applications are installed on C:. While I did move some special folders like My Pictures and My Videos to S:, the relevant folders My Documents and Desktop are still on C:.
I have found a workaround to the problem above:
Close Lenovo System Update completely when it says it needs to update itself.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator (find it in the start menu, righ-click it and 'Run as administrator').
Type 'subst s: c:\' without the quotes. Replace s: with the drive letter of your network drive, and c: should be an existing regular drive.
Now run Lenovo System Update again and let it update itself.
You'll notice System Update now restarts itself after updating and there are no problems.
Once you are done with System Update, type 'subst s: /D' to delete the substituted virtual drive. Don't worry, this will not delete your actual network drive.
The workaround does the job, but it would be nice to see an actual fix from Lenovo. I have a ThinkPad X230 running 64bit Windows 7 Professional if this is relevant.

Please try either of the workaround.
1. Create a new Admin user, log on in that and then you can install Adobe Reader,
or
2. easier solution is just create a dummy folder on your machine anywhere, lets says Folder name "Dummy" in c:\
not go to command prompt
and type subst I: c:\dummy
and you are all set to go.
once you are done, you can remove that virtual drive mapping by
subst I:\ /d
please let me know if works.

Very Slow to Add Songs from Network Drive

My library has reached 12,800 tracks. Because my hard drive is just about full I'm now storing music on a network drive, which is accessed wirelessly (at 54Mbps). Once the music is added to the library iTunes plays it quite happily without any lag. BIG problem though is the time it takes to add songs from this hard drive to the library - it can anything from 20 seconds to a minute PER SONG! And that's after I had to roll back to iTunes version 6 since the gapless playback determination loop took even longer once the songs were in there.
Is this normal? Can anything be done? What's it actually doing when adding a song to the library that could cause it to take so long? Even if it has to read the whole file into memory it should still be quicker than this.
NB. I've tried adding using a mapped drive (H:\...), machine name (\\qnap\music\...) and IP address (\\192.168.1.34\music\...) and it makes no difference.

Did you find a solution?

Help getting accurate metadata for files on network drives

I need to read 1000's of very small files that are addressable through the file system API (File class). The location of the files may be a local drive or via a Windows shared drive. When the files are on a remote system, the files may actually be changed by a process running on that remote system. Much of the time, I can actually cache the information needed from the files, but if the file changes or is deleted then I have to detect the change and reload or delete from my in memory cache. Everything works great when on a local drive, but the File API doesn't work when on a Windows shared network drive.
Basically, File.lastModified(), File.exists(), File.canRead(), File.isFile() etc, all return inaccurate results when the base path is on a mapped network drive, the files are changed by a remote process, and then are immediately accessed by my Java process.
For example,
<li> if the File existed
<li> my program loaded and cached it
<li> then a remote process changes the file
<li> when I call file.lastModified() immediately following the change, it will report the old lastModified date.
So, the net result is that I can't detect the change and end up serving up old data. This is even worse when the file is deleted, but Java File.exists() reports true. If I put in an artificial wait using Thread.sleep() in a while loop, then eventually the correct lastModified and exists will be reported. However, this doesn't help.
I've tried a lot of different ways to try to get Java to report the correct info. So far, the only reliable way is to try to open the file and read the first byte, catching an exception if necessary. This seems to then force the file data to be updated and Java will then correctly report the lastModified date (or throw an exception if it no longer exists). However, attempting to open the IO to the file and reading a single byte pretty much invalidates any reason to cache the data in the files because most of the overhead is in opening and closing the streams.
Is there any way to force Java or Windows to update the information about a file? It seems to me that this probably has to do with Windows caching shared drive file information and giving Java bad data, but it would be really nice to be able to force a refresh a file info.
Example:
//Assume that this is already behind code that did a file.exists() or file.canRead();
        long instanceFileModifyTime = fileObject.lastModified();
        MyObject cachedResult = INSTANCE_CACHE.get(cacheKey);
        if ((null != cachedResult) && (instanceFileModifyTime == cachedResult.getLoadTime())) {
            result = cachedResult;
        } else {
            //Open IO and load the data
        }

I need to read 1000's of very small files that are addressable through the file system API (File class). The location of the files may be a local drive or via a Windows shared drive.This is a very bad idea.
When the files are on a remote system, the files may actually be changed by a process running on that remote system. Much of the time, I can actually cache the information needed from the files, but if the file changes or is deleted then I have to detect the change and reload or delete from my in memory cache.That's also a very bad idea. Application-side caching is fraught with problems and this is one of them.
Everything works great when on a local drive, but the File API doesn't work when on a Windows shared network drive.
Basically, File.lastModified(), File.exists(), File.canRead(), File.isFile() etc, all return inaccurate results when the base path is on a mapped network drive, the files are changed by a remote process, and then are immediately accessed by my Java process. That will be the network file system. Nothing Java can do about it. Java neither knows nor cares. You are at the mercy of what the networked file system does. And that's why it's a very bad design. Networked file systems are for users, not for applications.
So, the net result is that I can't detect the change and end up serving up old data.Only because you cached it, which is why that's a bad idea. If you hadn't cached it you would have had to read the file again and you would have got the current data. And it would have been slow, because networked file systems are slow, which is why that's a bad idea.
Basically you are trying to use a remote file system as though it was a transactional database: it isn't, so you are trying to write more stuff in front of it to make it better; instead you are making it worse.
What you should be doing is using a transactional database as a transactional database.

Can I exclude a backup network drive from iTunes?

I have just installed iTunes on my PC after using WMP and WinAmp for many years.
I have a sizeable collection of MP3's on my computer AND on a network back-up drive. When I installed iTunes, not only did it access my internal drives (c: & d:) but it also imported into the library my Back-Up drive (k:).
I want to EXCLUDE the backup/network drive from the iTunes library, but do want to keep my hubby's HD in the network loop for music.
I can not figure out how to do this. Please Help me remove all the files that are on my back-up drive from the iTunes library. Not all of my MP3z as duplicates in the library at the moment because hubby's computer is DOWN at the moment but I still never want iTunes to access our mp3 back-up drive [K:].

I wrote a program to remove tracks from iTunes based on the file path (among other things). You can use it to remove all tracks from the K drive very easily. Go here:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/index.html
and click the download button. Extract the ZIP (teridonsitunesscripts.zip) somewhere, and run "teridonsitunesscripts.exe".
In the window that appears, select "itunesremove_bylocation" and click "Run Selected Script".
A new cmd prompt window will appear, asking you for a pattern to search for. Enter <pre>^K:</pre> (thats a caret (shift-6)) and hit enter. You'll then get a listing all your playlists. Select the Library playlist by typing "1" and hit enter. The program will automatically remove all tracks from iTunes that are on the K: drive.
The files will not be removed from the K: drive itself unless you actually have K: set up as your Library location. It certainly sounds like you do not. However, if you want to double check, from the Edit menu select Preferences. On the Advanced tab, under the General tab, check the "iTunes Music folder location". As long as it isn't K: you don't have to worry.
The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage. The program is free (donation totally optional).

Error message when mapping to a network drive of a DFS share on Windows 7

Hi,
We are getting the following error when mapping to a network drive of a DFS share on Windows 7:
“The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated."
In our case, the user logs on his workstation using his regular domain account, then maps to the network DFS share using the service account of an application.
There is a fix from Microsoft (MS KB968264). But this fix requires disabling the "Network access: Do not allow storage of credentials or .NET Passports for network authentication” property. This is against the Microsoft own best practices (Network access:
“Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication” should be set to
ENABLED), and is NOT acceptable for us for obvious security reasons.
Question: Does anyone know an alternative fix to this issue that does not introduce security risks?
Thank you in advance!

Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How ?

Time Machine is capable of backing up to multiple locations, and can be used to back up to both a local hard drive and a networked drive (provided that that drive is in or connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac that is sharing it over the network). The catch, though, is that you can't specify different things to back up to different destinations. Whatever you exclude from Time Machine backups is excluded from ALL backups, and whatever is included is included on all.
So, get a large enough drive that you can back up everything you want in all locations, or use something else for maintaining the network backup.
More information on these topics can be found here:
How do I set up Time Machine to a shared drive on another Mac?
How do I set up Time Machine to a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme?

Can you view network drives in Bridge?

I am currently using a trial of CS4 and when I go to bridge to select the files that I want to import into Lightrooom ( the one thing I don't understand about lightroom not having a browser to see the pictures before you import, I think this is crucial to good workflow ) I am unable to see any of my network, however my 1.4 version of Lightroom can see all the network. I am probably doing something wrong can anybody help?

I hate to say this but you sound a bit distressed and aren't understanding me. I specifically stated that in my scenario I am able to view network items such as computers on the network that are unmapped but are connected to the network. I can go into those computers by twirling the triangle and viewing the shared folders. within those folders I can view items that are part of that drive. I can ALSO see mapped network drives and their contents. I did experience a single problem of not being able to view two large folders on a network computer but it did not say "building criteria". Usually "building criteria" only appears if you are "searching" for something. You might try waiting for the criteria to finish building which could take some time in Bridge, since when it takes this step it is searching according to index and non-index criteria. If it is non-index then it will be slow to respond to your search. If Bridge doesn't work properly you might try to contact Adobe customer support if you purchased the product recently and it is under warranty and registered to you. You cannot, as you said, open a file in CS4. CS4 includes Bridge and a host of other applications based on what version of CS4 you have. Please try to be more specific when you post as to the steps you took to reach your point of difficulty with the software. Network in Bridge is located under the "Desktop" icon in Windows. You have to twirl the Desktop in order to see the Network.

Unable To See Network Drive from outside Home Network..even when using DynDNS

Hi
I have just got a Freecom Media storage Network Center which I have attached to my WRT150N router.
I am attemting to permit access to authorised users to files on the drive via the internet (presumably via ftp).
Here is what I have done:
Swiitched on DynDNS on the web admin page in the router (used DynDNS.com free service.
Obtained a user addess which is middle-earth.dyndns-home.com from DynDNS, which is linked to my Virgin Media IP
Switched on Port Range forwarding with
Ports 20-21 as ftp
Port 80 as http
Port 57 as DNS
Selected "both protocols"
Set the IP address to route to 192.168.1.42 - (this is the IP address which the web based software for the Network Drive reports as.
However the configuration of the TCP/IP protocol in PC attached by LAN cable to the router is "Obtain an IP address automatically" (i.e. dynamic?). If I change these settings and specify static IP addresses   will I not muck up internet connection to Virgin Media.
what I was hoping to acheive was typing     ftp:// middle-earth.dyndns-home.com
in the address bar would let me see the network drive from anywhere!
I have tried using DNS pinging on Ports 20, and 21 but that tells my ports are closed. i have also tried switching off my software firewall (Kaspersky) and the router firewall, but this does nothing.
What have I done wrong or no done!!
Thanks

I think the problem is solved.
The Freecom device needs to use a different part of its interface to be assigned a static IP address, which I have now done. At my last try it was visible from two independent views outside of my network.
On another front, I am appalled at Linksys or Cisco, who are not prepared to advice on getting more from their produicts if they are 'out of warranty'. The online chat tech said I could ring an 0871 premium line number in the UK. When I rang that, I was told as tthat as my unit is not faulty and was out of warranty I would have to use their pay per incident service.
That is not a way to deal with customers. When it comes to upgrading or replacing network equipment, I will look to a provider who is interested in their customers.

Copy a file from local drive to network drive!

The subject says it all but I'll explain. I have a web application that runs on a tomcat and mysql. I have a bunch of clients in a local network that uses the application.
Server is running Windows 2003 server and clients are running windows XP.
On a client request a file is created on the server in "temp" folder. The file name is "justAFile.txt".
On the client pc a folder "temp" is shared for reading/writing.
What I want is the server to take the IP address of the client, and then based on that address to copy the file "justAFile.txt" to it (for example "\\192.168.0.20\temp\" - that is the client address).
I have the address of the client:
String userAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();I use this code:
FileOutputStream outFile;
PrintStream p;
String bonFileName = (justAFile.txt");
String destinationFileWithPath = ("\\\\192.168.0.20\temp\\skladPrint\\"+bonFileName);
try {
    outFile = new FileOutputStream(destinationFileWithPath);
    p = new PrintStream( outFile );
    p.println ("a textto be written on a file");
    p.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
     %>Error writing to file<br><%
}This code can create a file on a local drive with no problems, but when I try on a network drive it fails. Even for testing purposes I set the shared folder to a maped drive "Z:", and again no luck.
I've spend all my day till now in reading articles in inet, but haven't found one that will solve the problem.
I also tried creating a batch file (exec.bat) that has in it:
move \temp\*.txt \\192.168.0.20\temp
and then executing it with:
String[] executeCommand1 = { "cmd.exe", "/c", "\\temp\\exec.bat" };
Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executeCommand1);
p1.waitFor();But again no luck. When I execute the file from command prompt, it moves the file to the shared folder, but when I start it from the java application with the posted code, it DOES NOT move the file...
Any help will be appreciated...

Try using the jCIFS project. This package allows you to access shared folders on a PC if you have a good username/password.

Creating a folder alias on a shared network drive

Hi,
I have a folder that is housed on my computer that I would like an alias of on my company's shared network drive. I will have access to the shared network drive from my home computer either through Citrix or a VPN, so I would like the alias on that drive so that it will reflect any changes I make to the files within either from my work or from my home computer. My question therefore is, how do I create an alias of a folder on a shared network drive? I tried creating an alias on my local drive and then dragging it to the shared network drive, but that just copied the folder and removed the alias.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nevermind. I must have copied over the original folder the first time instead of the alias, as a simple drag and drop of an alias folder just worked fine for me.

Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
Original Question
Already
posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a 'net
use' script.
This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
To replicate this:
The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?
But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
"Project cannot open the file.
-Check that the file name and path are correct.
-Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):

I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

Case 1
This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
Case 2
This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
the file or folder name.
Case 3
This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
folders.
For example, if you have the following:
a shared folder on a network server
-and-
an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
Case 4
This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
According each, please try the following workaround:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
Case 1
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Save a copy of the
file with a different
file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
Case 3
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
Method 3:
Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
Case 4
Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
Case 5
Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
1.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.
On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
3.
Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
folder on your local drive and then click OK.
4.
Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
Hope that helps.
