Mounting nas folder takes ages (only on mac)

Hi
I have a synology DS212J. I mount my folder on my nas using finder which worked fine. but for the last few month it dosen't work properly anymore. I connect to my nas (no problem) then choose a folder (no problem) but then when I open it for example picture it takes ages to show the contends and even after a long time being open it never shows all the contends. it's not possible to work like that. I have an early 2011 macbook running m.l. i have more and more probem with m.l
I have to old laptop 5 and 7 years running win7 on them and no problem to mount the nas in seconds. I also installed win7 on my mac, and from there no problem to mount withhin seconds.
starting to think using win 7 again as my mac (moutain lion) starting to cause more and more problem.hope the next os is better...
hope anyone can help me with this issue....

QNAP firmware 3.6.0 works under Lion, but for AFP to work, you may need to delete some of the old hidden files nested within top level folders on the NAS.

Mounting AFP share takes ages

Hi,
I have an issue with my AFP network share on my QNAP TS-410 NAS.
With OS X Lion it takes ages to mount shares on my NAS. Once a share has been mounted, it gets very quickly disconnected again. This makes it virtually impossible to work with that NAS.
I haven't had those problems with Snow Leopard. The QNAP is already running the latest firmware which implements “AFP DHX2 support”.
Any ideas how to debug this issue are greatly appreciated.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

TS3474 I play music but it takes ages to load and I only have 250MB of data for music

When I use my iPod I have 3.3GB left memory on a 8GB iPod touch 4th generation and when I play my music it always takes ages to load. I have deleted loads of stuff and I only have 250MB of music but it still takes ages. Why does this happen?

What do you mean by: "it always takes ages to load"?
Withut more specific information all I can suggest is the standard fixes:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I was wondering whether it had anything to do with the network I was using. The router I am using can't access the internet and I am using the basic 192.168.1.X setup with 255.255.255.0 as the mask.
My computer has an ip of 192.168.1.2 and the xbox has an ip of 192.168.1.3. However, I am still unable to ping the xbox or even see it show up in the network. I did notice that whenever I am using another router that is connected to the internet, I can see other windows based computers in the network tab in thunar under "windows network"
Also, I do have a username and password associated with the samba setup.. so I assume maybe that has something do with it. I checked the permissions of the share folder and it was root:root with read and write permissions. I know samba is working fairly well.. but for whatever reason I can't get the xbox to connect even while it is on the same local network.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

[Almost Solved] Mount NAS for use with photorec

Hi there,
I deleted some files on my NAS (WD MyBook World Edition) and want to give photorec a try - nothing serious but would be cool if it works.
Now the software should find the drive where my problem lies:
Normaly I mount the NAS via sudo mount /mnt/mybook/
fstab entry:
//IPC/Public /mnt/mybook cifs users,noauto,noatime,ip=192.168.1.200,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.creds,uid=1000 0 0
How can I mount the NAS for temporary use with photorec dev/....
Regards

Just wondering, if there is a faster way than photorec for my purpose? I've bought an USB enclosure for the drive now - Because it's an nearly full 2 TB drive the recovery takes ages (about 120 hours).
There are only 2 GB of free space on the drive and the deleted pictres are most likely in thes 2 gigs. Is there a programm (something for Windows is fine too) which let me recover only undeleted files and doesn't do a full recovery (have already limited photorec to jpg only)?
FS is XFS.

Finder extremely slow, trash takes ages and some USB-devices don't work

My MacPro is lightning fast when booted without extensions (shift down), but when I boot normally some apps work fine, but the Eye TV usb receiver won't work.
Emptying trash might take hours for 1 or 2 files.

Finder is extremely slow (takes forever to show contents of a mounted DMG).
installing software will often not work.
awkwardly enough FCP seems to work fine while simple use of the finder is nerve wrecking.

I've tried adding extra memory (got screwed into buying 4GB at extorniate price at the Apple retaier), cleaning up cache, flushing pram, removing Norton AV, removing all old Adobe apps, all tools I never use...
I tried booting without USB and firewire devices.

Mount webdav folder on OS Lion

Hi I have iomega ix2-200 cloud edition nas drive and use it on regular basis thru wireless connection on afp command. The drive can easily be mounted on finder.
The issue arises when I am outside (home network) and want to access nas drive. Currently, I am using filezilla to download/upload information however it is getting messier every time due to amount of files being edited.
I was reading thru article and came across WebDAV secure link which is available on this device. I have enabled and successfully connected my win7 machine ( as mapped WebDAV folder). Mac however does not want to know, even though I am sure connect tab does offer WebDAV connectivity.
I have already spoken to iomega support and according to them it is mac issue and not fault with nas drive. Can you please guide me on how should I mount WebDAV folder ( ie http/https) on finder.
Kind regards,
Jay

Nokia 5800xm - takes ages to change ringtone in pr...

I got this Nokia 500XM phone and when I want to change the ringtone in the profiles it takes ages and just has the scroling bar with opening at the top. I have found a cumbersome work around and that is to take out the memory card but then that just mean I have to stick with the pre-installed ones or copy the selected mp3 file to the phone memory. Is there any way to cut down this wait when I have the memory card inserted? - I wonder if I have added all my mp3 songs to the right folder on the memory card I think I put them in the Music (E: 8gb memory) folder on the memory card I wonder if this is whats causing the problem should they be in another folder? its an 8gb card with 3404mb (3.4gb) and 325 songs or more.

Back up a NAS folder in Time Machine?

Hi,
I've got my iTunes music folder connected to my Airport Extreme as a NAS drive so all my computers can share the library. I've also got an external drive hooked up to my main Mac running time machine, but it's not indexing the data in the mounted NAS drive.
1. Is there a way to get Time Machine to backup the files in the mounted NAS drive used for iTunes music?
If not...
2. Is it possible to connect that Time Machine hard drive into my router (via a USB hub) as well as the iTunes drive and get it to back up all computers on my network, including the networked drive?
Thanks

No. Time Machine can back up TO some NAS devices, but won't back up FROM any network drive.
2. Is it possible to connect that Time Machine hard drive into my router (via a USB hub) as well as the iTunes drive and get it to back up all computers on my network, including the networked drive?
No. In that setup, it won't be seen as a valid destination at all.

Every time Firefox opened

Try a clean install of Firefox on your Linux machine.
# Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
# Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
*Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
3. [www.getfirefox.com Download Firefox] again and install it

If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

Setting up my Line6 UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Win7 - settings dialog takes ages to respond

I downloaded the trial of Adobe Audition 3.0 (I've been using 1.5 on WinXP for a few years now and it's always been fine to use!)
I am trying to set up my Line6 POD Studio UX1 with Audtion 3.0 on Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit - 32GB RAM Quad Core Intel i7 3770 Processor)
I am noticing that the Settings dialog takes ages to respond and update with the changes I make - when I eventually managed to get playback - the playback only came out on the left monitor.
I should mention that I am doing this on a previous Audition 1.5 session - Audition 3.0 saved the session as a new session so I think that should be fine.
What I'm looking for here is the correct settings I need to use in Audition 3.0 to use my UX1.
I don't want to pay for Audition 3.0 if it's not going to work for me!

You won't be able to pay for Audition 3 since it was discontinued several years ago. However you may be able to upgrade to AA3 for free as a previous Audition user.
