  • Office 2007 saving documents over mapped network drive takes abnormally long

    On a new Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer, I have installed Office 2007. When I attempt to save documents to a mapped network drive on a peer network (saving to a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit computer), I have abnormally long save times.  However, when I attempt
    to save documents to my computer, I have no issues.  I do not have any issues when opening the files over the mapped drive.
    Turning off the third-party Bullguard Internet Security antivirus and firewall makes no difference.  Setting as an exception the excluded mapped drive folder makes no difference either.
    I have disconnected the mapped drive and re-mapped the network drive, but this makes no difference.
    I had no problem with the same software on a prior computer running the same Office 2007 version.  Another computer on the network has no issues either.
    Please advise how to speed up the saved documents (Word, Excel).

    Hi,
    As the slow to save files issue, please try the suggestion below to modify the registry:

  • Working on the same document over network

    Hi Folks,
    sometimes we have some persons they want to work on the same document (word document) over the network (file sharing), how can i solve it so that the server (os x 10.6.4) able to let the persons to work parallel on the same document and nothing in the document will be lost
    best regards
    Halooos

    You need an application that supports multiple accesses. Few do.
    Most applications will lock the file so that other systems on the network can't open it.
    Some will also detect if the file gets changed behind its back (e.g. some other machine on the network updates the file while it's open).
    Few support multiple concurrent edits - it's too easy for multiple users to change the same part and then you have issues over who has priority. The app has to specifically support this so that each running app knows who's doing what, and even then there are usually restricted file formats (can you imagine several users editing the same image in PhotoShop, for example?)

  • Problems with open an Indesign-Document over Network

    Hallo,
    we have a specialized problem with opening indesign-documents over network. Our users works with windows-pc (windows7) and adobe CS5 and CS6 and they will use there documents which are on our macserver 4.0 which works on OS X 10.10.2.
    Sometimes the usurers become this Message
    Wouldn't work indesign proberly on windows with documents which are on a macserver?
    Please help me.
    best regards
    chris mueller

    @Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
    But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
    Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
    That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
    After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
    Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

  • I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network. I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1. I'm using the URL Get Document Vi. It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...

    I'm trying to read some XML data from temperature logger over my network.  I'm using LabView version 2009 sp1.  I'm using the URL Get Document Vi.  It works fine when using Internet sites like google or foxnews etc...
    When I use it with my temperature logger most of the time I get an Error 66...but some times it does work and actually retrieves the document. 
    I can use the same address "http://172.22.21.68/XMLfeed.rb" (Internet Explorer or Google Chrome) in my browser and get a response every time.  When accessing from my browser the server in the temperature logger does take around 6 seconds to respond, but it does respond every time. 
    Is the URL Get Document Vi exceeding a timeout?  If so, where can I set it to wait longer?

    It looks like the TCP Buffered Read has a 2.5 sec timeout, I believe that is where I had trouble as well.  Try creating your own URL Get HTTP Doc vi in which you call URL Get Document in normal mode, with an appropriate number of characters to fetch (enough characters so that you capture all the important data in the XML file).

  • What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

    I Have been getting blank texts from a number, but the person who owns the niumber is not sending them, they appear then disappear, they are not coming over the network, they come even though number has been black listed, also emails have been moved, I believe by someone who is cyberstalking me but don't know how to prove it, what can I do ?

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

  • Best way to share documents over a same network

    How best to share a document on a LAN ?
    Thought I'd ask the experts who do this all the time...
    We never share docs but need to over our LAN so we can both edit same docs.
    What is the easiest, most efficient way to do so? Public folder, iDisk, or ?
    Thanks for any help with this beginner sharing question.
    System info:
    Both Mac running Snow Leopard
    Ethernet LAN

    It becomes confusing if more than one person is editing the same document at the same time. You could use a public folder then turn on "track changes" in your word processing program. The issue of course is if you are both editing then one or more of you will lose your edits when you save the document unless you are very careful on save.
    The best solution is to use a document management system that does version control. merges changes, etc.
    If there are only two of you each of you will need to coordinate document saves to ensure changes are merged. If one of you has the document open the other will have trouble saving changes as the document will be locked. Not to mention the need to review every word in the document to ensure the other's changes are not overwritten.
    If there are more than two of you editing the same document at the same time you need a document magement system. You can't rely on a manual process, especially if it is a large document you are all editing.
    If there are just two of you you could make one of you responsible for the document then use email to send this responsible person the document for merging and saving the changes to the document.
    The big issue IMO is not how to share the documents over the LAN but how to maintain version control. Sharing documents on the LAN is a trivial task.

  • Bridge CS2 - files over a network

    I have been using Bridge CS2 for a while now. It is mainly used for the preview and management of RAW files. Until recently, the files have been located on the local drive (C:) and there has been no issue. However, I have recently, for security reasons, moved all of the files onto a Linux file server. Ever since then, it has been painfully slow using Bridge, infact it crashes infrequently.
    I know that the solution may seem obvious - the file transmission is being slowed by the network/server. However the network runs a gigabit LAN with a gigabit switch between the two machines. The physical location of the server is less than two meters from the workstation, and I can confirm that the LAN is infact running at 1000 (monitoring via task manager of file transfer in Explorer between two machines). Regardless, even at 100bit LAN, Bridge should still be running smoothly.
    I copy the RAW files (about 12meg each pic) onto the server, and then open Bridge and it takes about 10mins to load up about 100 files.
    I have tried clearing the cache, and running the cache on both the local and network machine, and all of the this suggested by Adobe http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=317912.
    As far as I can tell, Bridge is taking a long time to build the thumbnails. I have even tried turning off anti-virus and firewall, but there is no difference. Every other network activity takes little/no time and I need this to work smoothly. Surely I don't have to restrict to local files!
    Please help me! Do I need to change any settings? Is it normal for Bridge to take so long over a network?

    I realise that operating over a network is never faster than a local drive, however using a gigabit LAN and dedicated file server should be the closest thing to running a local drive, if not as fast as a USB2.0 drive (which runs at 480Mbps).
    I have however been able to solve the problem. I am not sure if this is an actual "fix" but I did a few things:
    1) I unmounted the network drive and remounted it using SUBST (ie "SUBST X: C:\directory\path")
    2) I cleared the cache for both Bridge and the Camera Raw ("C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge" & "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Camera Raw"); then
    3) I rebooted all machines (including the sever with "sudo shutdown -Fh now"); and finally
    4) After reopening Bridge the first time I closed it down again and cleared the cache again.
    Now it works perfectly - infact it is very close to the speed it was working with the local drive. The cache build very fast and there is no more hanging or crashes, and I am back to the old Bridge!!

  • Corrupt Logic Files over a Network

    Hi,
    I am running Logic Pro 7.2.3 over a network of eMacs running back to an XServe. All students have their own individual Home Folders stored back on the Xserve. The Logic Pro application lives on the local eMac.
    Students are regularly experiencing corrupted files when they do an incremental 'Save As'. For example students have a Logic Pro document titled 'Mysong 1.1' which has a file size of 432K, they add some additional work to their composition and this gets saved as 'Mysong 1.2' but the resulting file is only 4K - and is totally corrupted.
    Often as they do the 'Save As' operation a message comes up saying:
    'File with specified name and version number already exists Result Code = -48'
    Some students get this dialog box practically every time they do a 'Save as' - other students only get it occasionally. All students have started their composition with the same Logic Template (Autoload) that we distributed to them. This Autolaod was rebuilt from scratch back in May.
    Our current workaround is that when the 'File with specified name and version number already exists Result Code = -48' message appears when saving 'Mysong 1.2', the student then does another 'Save As' but this time clicks on the greyed out 'Mysong 1.2' text in the 'Save As' dialog box. This automatically renames the document 'Mysong 1.2'. A 'This file already exists do want to replace it' dialog box comes up, the student clicks 'yes' and the 'Save A's process now works. Simply retyping the file name while trying a 'Save As' doesn't always work but selecting the greyed out text to rename the document does.
    One theory put forward by a local tech is that Logic uses a Temp file (stored somewhere in either the local eMac or in the Users Home Folder somewhere) and when a Save As operation is executed the Temp file is copied to the selected location. This process appears to work fine saving Logic files to a local drive (I use Logic all day on a standalone G5 and have never encountered this problem) but somehow gets screwed up in a Network environment.
    Anyone aware of Temp files being used by Logic? or have experience with Result Code -48 and its implications.
    All was fine with our network setup running Logic 6.4.3/OS X 10.3 but Logic Pro 7/OS 10.4 has had ongoing issues from the day we installed it.
    Just to clarify users aren't moving documents with large audio files around the Network - the files are typically MIDI only - not even using virtual instruments.
    All eMacs and XServer currently running OS X 10.4.8 - although this problem first occurred as early as April 2006 this year running 10.4.4.
    cheers
    Scott

    i ran into a problem with logic 6.4.3 which was not letting me edit audio files destructively, because a temporary file could not be written to the applications/logic folder - the users did not have permissions to access that part of the HD...
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3417133#3417133
    your problem sounds like it is different but in some way might still be related.
    i really wish logic would let you configure where the program stores it's files so you can anticipate these problems more easily!
    this also applies to the library of fx presets and audio files, which under logic, soundtrack pro, garageband, cannot be put in a user definable folder... (or at least to my knowledge!) and why put them in ridiculous places like library/application support/logic/bla bla????
    especially when you consider applications such as FCP let you do this easily!!!
    <sigh> end of rant
    back to your problem:
    so far i have not experienced this problem with logic 7 in a similar setup to yours.
    Xserve and G5 workstations running OSX 10.4.7 / 4.8
    the only difference i can think of is that our setup as a system drive (1st HD) with OSX and all the apps, and a temp drive (2nd HD) where students can save their work...
    are you attempting to save the files directly to a network server? if so that might be the cause of the problem... if possible, try to "save as" files locally, then move the files to the server. It may not be an elegant solution, but it will confirm that it is a network issue rather than a logic issue...
    hope that helps.

  • HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

    Hi,
    My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
    I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
    I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
    It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
    I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
    I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
    ''add a local printer;
    'new port'
    'localport'
    \\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
    but still nothing!
    There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
    I Really appreciate your HELP!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
    Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
    Let me know!

  • Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network

    My wireless printing chooses when it wants to work, and right now it's really acting up. It is connected wirelessly, it is the default printer, but after troubleshooting it is telling me "Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network." What can I do to get printing again?

    Hello featherfamily,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer not connecting with a wireless connection.
    Please click on the following link that deals with when the 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Can you share a USB hard drive over the network through an Airport Express?

    After asking a few individuals at my local Apple Store, I have been consistantly told that I can plug in a usb hard drive into the bottom of my airport express and share it over the network.
    However, after making sure my airport express has the latest firmware (6.3) and even donwloading and installing the airport disk utility I still am not having any luck getting my HFS (journaled) usb 2.0 hard drive to be visible on the network.
    I have also noticed that when following the instructions on this apple support document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirportUtility/5.1/en/ap2108.html) that when I get to step 3, the option to click disks is grayed out. I assume this supports my theory that the airport express won't share hard drives, can anyone confirm?
    Am I doing something wrong? Or were the reps at my store mistaken and the only hardware that can share a hard drive is the airport extreme not express?
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: althe3rd

    Thanks for the swift reply.
    Continuing my investigation I started to come to the conclusion you just mentioned. I am surprised none of the staff at my store realized this. However, at least I know now.
    The basis for me looking to this is... With leopard on the eve of its release, I wanted to get a large network accessible storage solution that would allow my wife's and I's Macbook pros to use time machine on the network drive when we were at home. Since we rarely use our laptops while sitting at a desk connected to an external drive, I figured this would be a great idea and started to look into various NAS solutions.
    Surprisingly, most generic (netgear, western digital) network drives require you use proprietary software to connect to them, and are only compatible with windows xp. After seeing the options the airport extreme opens up in terms of network storage I figured it would be the best bet.
    Do you have any other suggestions besides getting an airport extreme? I would rather not have to buy a full blown mac that I have to leave on 24/7 to share the drives. Or do you see any possible pitfalls to this idea? Such as, would time machine forget to use the network drive after a while since it wouldn't always be available to it when away from home?

  • Cannot Copy Files over a network

    I've had a new hard drive installed in iMac by Apple, and Apple re-installed the OS, which is running 10.6.7 (all current software updates are installed). The iMac is part of a network connecting to a OS X Server 10.4.10
    All of the Network Drives have been connected, the user can copy documents under 1MB to and from the server fine. However if we try to copy files over 1MB the first file will copy fine, but then no more files can be copied to the server from this machine, regardless of the size.
    If i use another Mac, with the same user credentials I can copy files of any size without any issues. I have tried connecting to the Network using both the Ethernet port and Airport but I experience the same issue regardless.
    If I reboot the iMac I can copy a file over 1MB again and then the symptoms re-present themselves. I have tried creating a users, new network drives, folders etc. I can connect using any user, to any of the new folders from any other machine on the network but not from this one.
    When the copying fails Finder just hangs with
    Copying "" to "ShareName" rather than having the name of the file, I believe this may be where the error lies.
    I have also tried running the App Maintenance from Titanium Software, after running this i can copy files over the network fine, but after I have copied 10 or so files, the situation goes back to not copying files correctly. 
    Tags:

    I have tried several files and also I have copied the files on to a USB Hard Drive and then onto another machine, that machine was able to copy the files over the network.
    The Firewall is switched off on this Mac, I have tried various different options with the Firewall, Turning it off, ensuring the AFP connections are allowed.
    Also using the Maintenance app, that I mentioned clears the Caches, repairs permissions etc etc

  • How can I store document on a network disk?

    With the old Pages I was able to store and edit documents right from my network disk (where I have full permissions on). I updated to the new version, with the big changes, and now suddenly it tells me it is unable to store the document because I apparently don't have the right permissions. I checked the network device and I got full permissions, besides all other apps don't seem to have that problem, even more specific when I boot up the old Pages I can store and edit documents again without problem. So it really seems it's something in the new Pages that is causing the problem. Also, the latest update did not address or solve this issue.
    It get's even worse. When I create a new document and store it on my own disk and then drag it to the network disk, there is no problem. When I open that document from the network disk and edit something and I try to re-save it, it tells me "I don't have permissions to store the document" and it messed up the document on the network disk from MyDocument.pages to MyDocument.pages.sb-76d48d4f-LvItH9, and instead of a file it is now a folder. This was behavior which was also not seen on the old Pages.

    Pages 5 has over 90+ missing features plus annoying bugs like this.
    Your previous Pages should be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Error -43 when opening a quicktime over the network

    Hi, a really strange one here. I've moved our FTP server internally to a different Mac running 10.5.x Server. Everything seems to be working except when we try and play a quicktime over the network on a Windows PC. The file will play correctly in VLC but trying to open the same file in Quicktime, brings up the error -43. Very strange.
    Anyone got any ideas? Do I need to have something enables in the services for this to work? It all works fine playing on a Mac.
    Cheers,
    Dave.

    More results from some testing. If I move the QT file into the root directory of the FTP server where I have this problem, it plays on PCs fine. Must be something to do with the path name, but this has all worked fine before but on a different version of Mac OS X Server. Any ideas?
