Microsoft Office problems with Shared USB Disk

I am having problems writing files to USB drives shared off of a Airport Extreme Base Station. The error message from any of the Microsoft Office products would indicate a write protection issue. This happens if I try to save a file I open on the shared drive or if I try to save a new file. No problems from the finder. Also, this only happens for the wireless users, the computer connected through the ethernet connection has no issues. I got in through the command line and checked the user id and permissions and no issue I can see.
Any ideas?

I have 2 USB drives and can use MS Office for Mac to write files on them at will using 2 wireless notebooks. No problem whatsoever.

  • Aperture 2.1.1 Vault problem with external usb  disk

    I have just updated to 2.1.1 and now Aperture freezes every time I connect my usb external disk and try to create or update a vault. I have to force quit Aperture and remove the disk before I can use Aperture again. The only way I can create a vault is to create it on my internal disk then manually copy to the external usb. Another topic here suggested the problem is with network disks but I have a very similar problem with a local usb disk. I have tried two different disks with the same results. All my software and os is up to date.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have a similar problem, and have a not totally satisfactory fix for my issue.
    I have my photos stored on an external FW drive.
    Originally I also stored my vault on the same drive.
    When I started Aperture with this config then Aperture would not pass the loading screen. I would have to kill the process to quit.
    If I started Aperture with the FW drive disconnected then it would launch, but I would then attach eth FW drive and have to Manage referenced files.
    What has worked for me:
    I have removed the vault from the FW drive and Aperture now boots quickly as 2.1 did.
    I have to create the vault on the internal HD and copy to the external.

  • How to Install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits

    I am with problems to have acess to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12187
    Why?
    I want do install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits. How can I do it?
    Thanks.

    Hello Carla Sofia,
    Visual Studio installation do not depends on Microsoft Office 2013. They do not have relationship here. I think your problem is that you cannot find the link to install Visual Studio 2010.
    In order to know why, please see here:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio%202010&Filter=FilterNO
    The mainstream support for Visual Studio 2010 is already expired and that is why you cannot open any link about Visual Studio 2010 Setup.(I cannot verify whether that link is about VS2010 Setup.)
    I think you need to think about the following:
    1. If you need Visual Studio 2010, you may have to consider some other channels. For example, official site you can try use MSDN Subscription. For non-official site. Sorry I cannot provide any place for you
    2. You can use other latest version of Visual Studio, for example, we have Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015 for you to use. You can also use Visual Studio Express 2010 version. It is still available for download.

  • Is snow leopard compatible with microsoft office and with quicken 2007?

    Is snow leopard 10.6.3 compatible with Microsoft office and with quicken 2007.  I am about to upgrade to snow leopard and wanted to see if there are any problems with interfacing with non apple applications.  Any help is appreciated.

    Yes. Snow Leopard includes Rosetta, which will allow Office 2004 and Quicken 2007 to run. Office 2008 and 2011 are Intel native and will also run under SL.

  • Is it possible to easily run Microsoft office 2010 with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?

    Okay , first off thanks for any help in advance . I just purchased a MacBook pro for my daughter for college . ( finance major ) . Her class requires Microsoft office 2010 with access .  As you probably already know , and I have just learned , that is no offered for Mac. Is there an easy way To run ms office with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?

    All that matters is file compatibility. The documents look the same. I've been a professor, so I don't see any issues here at all.
    Another option you may want to consider is this: Run Windows on the Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    There are several possible causes for this problem.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. See also this support article.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

  • TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

    Hi,
    I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
    I've noticed following issues:
    1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
    Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
    2.Ping works OK
    Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

  • Problems with the USB Ports

    Hi there,
    I writing this because I'm having some really big problems with my USB ports.
    A few days ago I plugged in an USB-Hub that was quite cheap. Suddenly a window popped up saying that a USB device was deactivated because it "needed" to much power. Since this happening, two of those windows keep popping up everytime I boot the MacBook. I called Apple and got some help: I had to delete some .plist files and clear some caches. The man who helped was able to find the error and deactivate the notification, he also told me to make a PRAM- and a SMC-reset. The man said that it's just a software problem and that I have to reinstall the system if we don't find a solution. So, one day later I reinstalled the system (Lion) and not only didn't it help, the two notification windows were popping up again...everytime I booted the Mac. So I decided to formate the whole hard drive and install Snow Leopard -> still the problem with the USB ports. After that I installed Lion  -> still the problem with the USB ports. I even tried to extract the .kext files that are important for the USB functionality from an earlier Combo Update, but it didn't help either. The point is, that the Mac doesn't recognize my external hard drive or any of my iDevices. Sometimes it recognizes USB sticks, but only after 20 seconds. The data transfer on both USB ports is also very slow. If I'm lucky and Mac recognizes one of my USB sticks, it takes like an hour for 1GB to be transfered on the USB stick or from the USB sticks to the Mac.
    I really don't know what to do and need help, especially because my backup data is on my external hard drive which I can't access because of this problem.
    I really hope that someone can help me, I'm very thankful for every answer that could help me!
    PS: Sorry for my bad English, I hope that everyone understands what I mean, please tell me if you don't get what I'm trying to explain in the text above.
    Sincerely,
    iLoud
    [UPDATE] I downloaded "USB Prober" and copied the Output file, maybe it helps:

  • Problem with shared objects synchoronization.

    I encountered a small problem with shared objects.
    I'm working on a program that creates chat rooms of a fixed
    size of 30 users. When the 31th user comes, a new room is created.
    The idea is that the client first connects to the first room
    and checks if it's full by connecting to shared objects. If it is
    full, connection is closed and process is reapeated on a new
    instance of the application.
    I use a function to connect to an instance, which takes as a
    parameter a number (1 for instance room_1, 2 for room_2, etc). The
    function itself creates the necessary Netconnection and
    sharedObject objects.
    If a room is full, Netconnections and sharedObjects are
    closed and function is called again with another number.
    I have no problem for connecting to the first room, but after
    closing the first connection and connecting to the new room, there
    seem to be some problems with the shared objects (especially,
    OnSync doesn't seem to execute again after the connection to the
    shared objects of the new instance).
    I was wondering if you had any ideas what could cause this.
    Is it the use of the same variable names for connecting at two
    different shared objects?
    Here is the function :
    function initStreams(room) {
    client_nc = new NetConnection();
    client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.4/Elearning/room_"+room);
    in_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
    in_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
    Replay_video.attachVideo(in_ns);
    out_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
    out_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
    in_ns.play("my_recorded_stream");
    users_name = SharedObject.getRemote("users_name",
    _root.client_nc.uri, false);
    users_name.connect(_root.client_nc);
    users_language = SharedObject.getRemote("users_language",
    _root.client_nc.uri, false);
    users_language.connect(_root.client_nc);
    users_picture = SharedObject.getRemote("users_picture",
    _root.client_nc.uri, false);
    users_picture.connect(_root.client_nc);
    users_finger = SharedObject.getRemote("users_finger",
    _root.client_nc.uri, false);
    users_finger.connect(_root.client_nc);
    I you need more info, I can post more of the code on the
    forum.
    Any help would be really appreciated

    I don't see any onStatus events in the code you posted above.
    If you're defining the onstatus event outside the function, that's
    the problem. When you define the shared object, you also need to
    define it's onStatus event handler.
    Also, you really should wait for the onStatus event of the
    netConnection before you connect your sharedObjects. If you try to
    connect the SO before the netConnection is established, the SO will
    never connect.

  • Problem with SB1240 USB sound card

    I'm pulling hair here! I've just bought a SB240. Windows (XP Pro, SP3) detected it and I can select it fine for listening. But when I open Sound and Audio Device Properties and select Sound Recording/Volume, I see the Capture panel with the three inputs, but all the controls are greyed out and immovable. I also use the application "Total Recorder" by High Criteria, in which I can select the SB240 device but the only input line it sees is SPDIF Interface.
    I'm stumped. Can anyone help?
    John?

    &Re: Problem with SB240 USB sound card
    Thank you. I did a complete uninstall, including the device itself (from Device Manager) as well as all drivers and any SB related software. As recommended by Creative, I had previously installed the driver software from the supplied CD and that seems to have been the problem.
    I let Windows re-detect the SB, but? got a "problem ... device may not work correctly.." during the detection, so I was not hopeful (this had not happened the first time I installed the device).
    Nevertheless it now does work fully and is properly configured in "Total Recorder" too.
    So I would suggest not using the supplied drivers and software - at least not in WinXP. But it's not very confidence inspiring.

  • Microsoft office issues with clients bound to my Open Directory Master

    So i converted all of my clients from having a local account on there machine to being bound to my Open Directory Master with a home folder on the server. I deleted there local account on there client machine and then bound it and logged in with there server account. launch microsoft entourage,excel and word and i get weird errors when the applications launch. So i reinstalled on the local admin account of the client machine and all applications now work except for microsoft entourage.
    I can set up an account... see my exchange email server but no email. nothing.. if i log the client machine out of the OD master account and log into a local account on the machine everything works fine. Am i missing something? i even set up for the user account in the allowed applications to run the microsoft office suite with no change.
    thanks,
    Jess

    Note Microsoft Office does not support server-based home directories. You can use portable home directories which syncs stuff down to the client (like a roaming profile but "better" )
    As far as errors with application launch, etc., check the permissions on the applications themselves. Office has an annoying habit of installing itself as the user who installs it (well, except Office 2008 which installs itself as user 502, always, lol). Ensure the permissions on the applications make sense -- this will take some command line use of chmod and chown.
    Also ensure that your home directory permissions are mapped to the user you're logged in as. If you move from local accounts to server-based accounts the UID on the home directory will not automatically change properly, and Microsoft stores its stuff in ~/Documents/Microsoft Office Documents which will have the owner/permissions of who initially created that directory.

  • Problems with wireless usb adapter on MSI K8NGM-V

    Hi!
    I have a 3Com (3crusb20075) wireless usb adapter, and a MSI K8NGM-V Mainboard. Very often the usb disconnects from the network and i have to reinsert it to work again. A friend of mine have the exact same adapter and that one fails too. He uses mine without problems. I therefore belive that this is a problem with the usb ports on my mainboard. Have anyone heard of anything like this? I wanted to try to update my bios but i don't have a floppy so msi live update wouldnt let me, and i could find the bios files on the msi webpage so i cant burn them on a bootable cd. Help please
    (I trying turning of power save mode on the usb adapter, without any luck. Tested it in linux. Same result)

    The ability to access the network, but not the Internet, typically indicates that the computer is not able to either find or negotiate with the DNS servers. The proper DNS servers would be provided by your ISP using DHCP. In turn, the AirPort would use DHCP to provide these to both the wired & wireless computers connected to it.
    Please try the following:
    For each PC that is unable to access the Internet, temporarily include the following OpenDNS servers:
    o Primary: 208.67.222.222
    o Secondary: 208.67.220.220
    You would enter these in the network TCP/IP settings for the respective PC's wireless network adapters. You may need to restart the computer in order for these DNS settings to "stick." After restarting, can you access the Internet with either or both of them?
