Moving events to a network drive

I have a Fedora box, and I used to mount network drives via samba (SMB), however, I was reading that AFS/AFP volumes work better and faster with the Mac. I installed netatalk and I am able to see my volumes via TCP/IP (I did not enable AppleTalk).
I tried to move iMovie events to an AFS/AFP share, and iMovie told me that the volume is not compatible - it even has an exclamation icon next to the volume within iMovie. I mount the same share/disk with SMB and I can move the event. I am not very familiar with AFS/AFP, so I am not sure if:
1) It is actually better than SMB?
2) I am doing something wrong and that is why I cannot move my events there.
I really appreciate your help.

I hear you... I actually just upgraded my switch to 1gbps and moved all my events to a SMB share - my "working disk". I found that SMB actually worked faster than AFP/AFS and it is a lot easier to mount - you don't have to clik on OK to reconfirm password even if it stored in your keychain. I moved 42 GB of .TOD files and it took about 24 minutes with AFP/AFS and about 20 with SMB.
I originally converted to AFP/AFS expecting that I would be able to run TimeMachine to my network drive (Leopard shopuld be in the mail by now), but I've been reading that this is not feasible. I am buying an external drive for the sake of backups only :o)
Also, I went to AFP/AFS to be able to "browse" the server through finder, but realized that if I start nmb servcices, and enable dns resolution in my smb.conf, then my server appears in finder without the need of avahi-daemon (bonjour) - I have a dns server that is being updated by the dhcp server... all running in my Fedora 7 box.
I am very new to the Mac and video. I moved from PCs becuase of the OS and the iLife suite... You've gotta love the Mac for managing digital content.
Cheers!

  • 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?

  • WMI event watcher in ssis package not sensing the file continiously when we placed the file in Network drive location or UNC Location

    Hi,
    I am using SSDT 2012.
    WMI event watcher is not picking the file , when I place the file in Network drive location or UNC Location.
    I have mapped the network drive to UNC location. 
    Issue only comes when I run the package through job.(it will not pic the file) and I crossed check, I have all the permissions to the folder. if I run or execute the package through IDE, file will be picked and moved to destination.
    Am I missing any configuration ?  can anyone please advice.
    Thanks,
    Anvith

    So the WMI query is on the mapped drive and not on the UNC?
    And the user that runs the job (SQL Server Agent Service Account or the proxy) has rights to read that mapped drive?
    Are you using the default account or a proxy in the jobstep? And does it work if you create a credential and proxy for your own account?

  • MSI installer closes with error 1327, Invalid drive on Win 7 Ultimate when My Documents is moved to a network drive

    I have several computers with Windows 7 Ultimate installed here at the Pioneer Library System. We have ~20 workstations running XP Pro on a Active Directory domain and are planning on rolling out Windows 7 this fall. I am running Windows 7 to test our programs
    (have since RC1) but I am running into an issue when installing software.
    The problem I am running into is that when I try to install any program that uses the MSI installer on Windows 7 , it fails with a 1327 error at the point where it is preparing to install and says "Invalid Drive H:\".
    All the users in our domain have the "Home Folder" on their active directory profile set to
    H:\ (which is mapped to \\PrimaryDC\user$ in the same place). We have also moved the
    C:\Users\user\Documents folder to H:\ so as to keep all documents on the server where they get backed up regularly.
    If I move "Documents" back to C:\Users\user\Documents the MSI installer works fine. When I look into the registry as suggested in
    this thread I found that in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders " and in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
    Folders " the key "Personal" points to "H:\".
    But, H:\ is a valid connected network drive. Installing from the same account on an XP computer with
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents moved to the H:\ drive works fine.
    I have tried setting up another 7 machine and get exactly the same results on it.
    Is there a workaround for this besides creating a admin account that does not have Documents mapped to the network drive
    H:\ to use for installing programs?
    Thanks

    PLS

    I do not have the option with some of these files to pass parameters to the MSI installer. For example, if I download the Acrobat Reader installer from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe and run AdbeRdr930_en_US.exe
    it extracts the MSI file to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files and then runs it.
    To reproduce this an a Windows 7 computer (does not have to be on a domain):
    Prep Work:
    Create a user (test1)
    Create a folder on the root of C (C:\Test)
    Set permissions on C:\Test to allow the test1 user to have full access to it
    Share the C:\Test folder as test1 (again, set the permissions to allow the test1 user full access)
    Set the "Home Folder" for the test1 user connect to Z: and point that to \\127.0.0.1\test1
    Login as test1
    Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
    Check that it works:
    Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
    Note that it works
    Uninstall Acrobat Reader 9.3 using "Programs and Features"
    Break it:
    Login as test1
    Check that you have Z:\ mapped and that it works
    Go to C:\Users\test1
    Right  click on the Documents folder and click on properties
    Click on the Location tab
    Click on "Browse" and select the Z drive
    Allow Windows to move the files to the new location
    Check that it is broken:
    Check that you have access to the new Documents folder at Z:\
    Install Acrobat Reader 9.3 from the link above
    Note that it extracts itself to C:\Users\test1\AppData\Local\Adobe\Reader 9.3\Setup Files
    and runs the MSI installer from there
    Note that after the MSI installer is started it pops up an error saying Error: 1327, Invalid drive Z:\.
    I also see this with various other install programs (VMWare vSphere Client, VMWare Player and Kaspersky Antivirus for example)
    Is there any reason why this should not work? Is there something that I should be doing differently?
    Thanks

  • ITunes library repair/moving to external network drive

    Hello all, I wonder if you can help.  I have searched high and low for a solution to my situation, but to no avail, and so you really are my last hope.  I've been trying to get my iTunes library in order for quite a while and things have gone wrong, and it has really got me down as I'm worried I'm about to have to start again from scratch.  It has taken me about 6 weeks (spread out over the course of a few months) to rip the 18,000 tracks in my library, then another month or so to get all the metadata right, weed out duplicates, etc.  However, the music collection is so big I have had to place it on a network drive in batches (which has the benefit of being able to access it on any laptop at home - but whatever I do iTunes just doesn't like it.
    I can't actually bring myself to recount everything I've done as it's a bit upsetting so I thought I might just summarise the situation that I'm now in to see if anyone could help.  I would be very grateful.
    I now have a network drive with an iTunes style folder structure within it's music folder, and within that artist/album/song.wav file path.  For reasons I'll explain later I have many MP3s, a few AACs, and *lots* of WAV files - which sadly, don't hold track metadata, otherwise I could have just re-imported all the files into a new iTunes library.  However correct metadata and having the files as WAVs are vital (again, I'll explain later), so it's not something I can change.
    I have moved iTunes libraries before when I have moved PCs without any hitches, by moving the music folders and files and doing a search and replace in the library file to point to the new locations.  I thought this would be the same situation.  It's complicated by the fact that I had been hoping to put the music files and library on the network drive so that iTunes on my Mac and PC would be able to access it and write back metadata changes, play counts and so on.
    I've not been able to work out how to do this as file paths to the network drive differ on both OS's - Windows paths are more like \\DISKSTATION\Music\ etc etc whereas Mac ones are more like file://localhost/Volumes/Music etc etc
    I don't understand networking very well so quickly gave up on the idea of trying to get my library to work off two machines with two OSs (though is someone can explain how/if this is possible, I'd like to try it again).
    Now I was left trying to get the library to work with iTunes on either just the Mac or just the PC, and I haven't managed it yet.  When I have been experimenting with amending the file paths in the library and opening it iTunes again I get little WiFi style icons, like the ones you see in the radio section of iTunes - indicating an audio stream - next to every track, and if you click play, it tries to open the track - but doesn't - and keeps trying.  It does this on both machines.  I've tried windows style file paths on the PC, and Mac ones with OSX, I've tried referring to the drive's network IP address and so on - but can't get it to work.  Most of the time it behaves as described above.  Some times it deletes the whole library and starts again from scratch.  At present the file seems to have reverted to the point after I had added all my tracks but before I'd amended the metadata.
    (I have a backup of the library file with all the correct data in it, but pointing to files in the wrong places, so I am happy to experiment.)
    I've read a lot of threads on similar external drive nightmares people have been having, and it is often mentioned elsewhere to consolidate the files to the iTunes folder once you have told iTunes of the new location, but this wouldn't have been practical - there was over 400gb of them to move over a (relatively) slow network.  And I can't consolidate now with the music files on the network drive as iTunes has all the information in the library, it just seems to not be able to find the files.
    So my question is what am I doing wrong and/or how can I fix the library to point to the files in the new location?  It must be possible as I have a version of the XML file with all the artist/album/filename.wav structure intact - it's just getting the bit before it correct and getting iTunes to accept the library once I've amended it.  Is there a way to get my library to recognise the files on the network drive properly - even just on one machine?
    I would be happy to start reloading tracks into a new, clean library but there is no metadata WITHIN the wav files like there is in the MP3 and WAVs and so I'll be left with a lot of wavs that aren't titled properly (and I really can't face going back and adding the titles and artists for thousands of tracks again).  Before moving the library I *did* rename the files with artist - track - genre - year etc. etc. information - so if there was a way for iTunes to rebuild the library with information from the filename, I'd be happy to try it.  But even the great Doug's iTunes Scripts website can't even offer anything like that.
    To explain the point about the files being all WAVs - the files are going to be used for broadcast and so need to be in the best quality in a format that can be opened - FLAC won't work.  And similarly, the metadata is important as it will be used in a professional situation too.
    Any help would be gratefully received as if this doesn't work I seriously think I will stop buying music as I don't want to add to the problem!  I can't face months of ripping everything in again.  I'm so fed up. 

    Yes it's quite possible, that's how I have mine set up, and Moving iTunes Music will tell you how to go about it.
    Pitfalls? Can't really think of any.
    Regards
    TD

  • "Moving a project from network L: drive to C: drive - how do I relink the files?

    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS3D22F379-B6C7-4d8c-9548-26AA3E1EA74F.html
    In the above thread "Moving a project to another computer" it states the assets should retain their file names and folder locations so that Premiere Pro can find them and relink them to their clips in the project automatically and although I'm only a novice PP user that is standard advice for any software.  However I can't find advice anywhere on how to swap a project from one disk drive to another on the same computer.
    What I want to do is move the project media files off my network (L:) drive to the C: drive of the editing computer as all the advice on here about disk drives is not to use network drives.  I've copied the files over but how do I replace the media file links within the PP project which are currently pointing to the sub-folders on my L:drive with replacement one's pointing to the same folder names but with the path as C: drive.  Sorry if it is a numpties question but I'm not finding the answer via search.
    Reason for shifting project - for some reason the sequence files were being lost when I reopened the project so I had to reuse the last good auto-save despite loss of some editing work and the project had also suddenly started taking up to an hour to load all the linked media.  Given the advice about not using network drives decided to eliminate one of the possible causes before going any further with risk of losing the edited file.. 

    I strongly agree with Jim on where to relocate the Project and media files.
    Now, when you do Move the files, the Paths (absolute) in the PRPROJ file(s), will no longer be correct. The drive letter will have changed.
    When you Open your Project from its new location, you will get a question dialog, "Where is file _____ ?" for the first Asset, where the link is now broken. Using the Finder, navigate to the folder, where that first missing Asset is NOW located, and select that. PrPro will then look in that folder, and will automatically relink to all Assets in that folder. If you have your Assets in multiple folders, you will need to repeat, for each folder, and again, PrPro will relink to all Assets in THAT folder. Depending on the folder/sub-folder hierarchy, you will have to repeat for all folders.
    When all Assets have been relinked, I would immediately do a Save_As, incrementing the Project's name, so as to NOT overwrite that original Project file - just in case you ever need to revisit that.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • IMovie can't find events now moved to a new internal drive

    I installed a second 1Tbit drive and moved my photos, movies, music and documents from the primary drive to the new drive. I also created alias's for each of these folders.
    Although iTunes didn't care about the alias, and Aperture reset it's file location automatically as well - the media browser had a problem. I have the new version of iLife but had not yet opened iPhoto - but when I did it rebuilt it's library and then showed up. Deleting the alias for the photo folder entirely let Aperture show up - but iMovie is whacked. I can see only one simple short event that I had opened immediately after installing iLife - even though this event is no longer on the main drive, it's over on the second drive and "Show in Finder" clearly showed it in the new location.
    But all the other events and video files are not visible. I can see them in Finder, and if I click on them I get to see them play just fine. But attempts to import them return an error
    Copy Failed
    This file could not be copied:
    /Volumes/RR-2nd TB/y User Files/Movies/iMovie Projects.localized/Teah ISR Second Year - Larg.m4v
    (File not Found)
    But the file is most certainly there and the file opens just fine if I click on it. As the alias for the folder seemed to be an issue for Photos, but once deleted Media Browser could indeed see the Aperture library, I have also deleted the alias file for iMovie - no improvement.
    I have deleted and let recreate the preferences file - but this only removed the one file I could see.
    Both drives are Mac OS Extended (Jorunaled) - and both report no errors.
    Trying this and that, iMovie has created a new folder for iMovie Events on the second drive, and if I move things into this they suddenly appear - but not my projects.
    I can certainly move the Movie folder back to the main drive, but the intent was to free up space on that drive, and to increase performance by having the application on one drive and the user data on another.
    I can't be the only person to ever move the Movie folder - but I can't find any current and helpful info on the matter. I do see that a few others have recently expereinced some issues with external drives and iMovie - might be a similar issue.

    You can move Projects and Events to and external drive, but you must move them from within iMovie. If you move them using the Finder, it will make the projects unusable.
    I would recommend that you move all projects and events back to your original drive.
    Then open iMovie and verify that all is well.
    Now, click View/Events by Disk, and you should see your new drive in the Events List on the left.
    To move an event, hold the command key while dragging the icon for the event to the icon for the disk in the iMovie Event List.
    To move a project, hold down the command key while dragging the Project icon to the icon for the new drive in the Project List.
    Doing it this way will preserve the links between your Projects and your Events.

  • Moving iTunes to network drive - Seagate or WD

    I need to move my 800G iTunes library off my iMac (external USB drive) to a network drive. This is a migration for which I don't have a budget so I am looking for a low-cost solution.
    My Gigabit network is fed by a Netgear WNDR3700 router, to which a USB drive can be attached, with ReadyShare software built in to manage it. So I have two options
    attach a 2Tb drive to the router - the choices are WD MyBook or Seagate Expansion
    ignore that and buy a standalone networked drive - WD MyBook Live
    These particular drives are on special offer, which makes them just about affordable!
    Option 1 is cheaper. BUT the drive does not support HFS+. So I will have to use it as FAT32 which limits filenames to 32 characters. Which means I will have to rename hundreds of iTunes track names.Some of these are quite complex, such as
        Overture in the French Style in B minor, BWV831:10 Gigue.aiff
    Option 2 appears to be plug and go - I know of two users who use WD MyBook Live in this way, but it is 30% more expensive
    So: Two questions:
    Which option for hard drive is likely to be the most reliable and be fast enough to stream iTunes music to my (wired) Airport Express which feeds my hifi
    If I go the router/USB route, what is the easiest way to rename the track filenames?
    Complexity means they cannot simply be truncated. So I was thinking of using Better Renamer or similar on an album-by-album basis altho' this breaks the "never edit filenames in the iTunes folder" mantra .But does this matter since I am moving them to a new location which will have to be "recognized" as the new iTunes folder.
    Any and all help appreciated

    If you want to make another drive (direct or portable) on your PC the main music location for iTunes, move all song files there, as well as any future imported music from CDs, here is one method (see the links below):
    You will maintain your playlists, ratings, comments, etc. This will only move your music folders location, NOT your iTunes program files. It is my opinion that programs (i.e. – iTunes) work better when installed on your main hard drive. At the very least, it makes it easier to manage all your programs if they are centrally located on one hard drive (the Windows default standard).
    See these links for some step-by-step info:
    iLounge: Moving your iTunes Library to a New Hard Drive
    MacMuse: iTfW: Move iTunes music/Library to new drive
    iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
    If you are moving the music to an external hard drive or network drive, after the transfer (and to work correctly), the drive must be running prior to your opening iTunes. If not, iTunes will reset the location of your music folder location to the default location (usually: ‘C:\...My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music’). If this happens, you need to manually change the path back to your external location, or future CD ‘Imports’ will be deposited on your internal HD.

  • My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

    My project in imovie says source unavailable after I moved the events to the backup drive. It is connected and shows up in the events library. I can see the pictures but they won't play without the source. What do I do.

    I moved it because I did not have room on my hard drive to import my latest video. I take videos my grandkids basketball games then edit them as projects. I don't have room to move the whole events library back to my hard drive. Can I move part of it at a time.
    I filled up my 1 TB back up drive so got a 3TB to move my video projects to. Do I have to move both the i photo videos and the projects to the 3 TB drive together some how. When can I delete them off the hard drive .
    I moved all the i photo library to the 3 TB drive and deleted them out of i photo. That is 87 GB which I don't have room for on my hard drive.
    I think when I use the export movie to my hard drive it works but will I still be able to edit it later if I want. Is it best to do quick time or i tunes if I use the export feature.

  • Can a network drive appear in the event library?

    Is it possible for medias to remain on an external network drive?
    This will allow to moove events away from the internal Hard drive that is getting very full.
    At the moment, I have the target drive as a shared drive in finder and I can access it when importing. But it is not showing in the event library.
    Is there a setup to do?
    Thank you very much for your help

    AFAIK FCP X supports SAN, but does not support networked drives in general.
    One possible workaround is to create a disk image in the network drive. If you mount the disk image using the Finder, it will appear to FCP X as if it were a local disk. It can be used to store events and projects. Of course, you should make sure that the network is fast enough - which should be ok, provided that it is gigabit ethernet and with little extra traffic.
    So, the idea would be to create a sparse disk image - make it as big as you like (being sparse means it can be created as, say, 300GB, but won't occupy drive space until you actually add content to it),  format it as mac os extended (journaled or not). Mount the disk image. Start FCP X.
    Be extra careful with backing things up, as this creates another possible failure point, as sometimes disk images can get corrupted (all the more likely, as they are being written over the network).
    One other point: if you quit and restart FCP X, it will try to remount the disk image. If, in some instance, you don't want that to happen, you should option-Quit ("Quit and discard windows"). Then FCP X will not auto-remount the image in the next start.

  • MOVED: Cant load networking driver for neo 2 plat

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
    Cant load networking driver for neo 2 plat

    1. Put your Windows CD in the drive.
    2. Select Install Windows.
    3. Let install continue.
    4. After the first restart, you will see something about Recovery Console.  Do NOT select this option.  Just let setup continue.
    5. You will soon see a message "searching for existing Windows installation".
    6. Soon after, you will be given the option to REPAIR that installation or make a new installation.
    7. Select REPAIR.
    8. Just keep going.
    That's it.  Hopefully things will be just fine after the repair is done.

  • Moving part of a catalog to network drive.

    I need some good advice for a catalog of 13k+ photos that I'm trying to clean up. I'm using Elements 7, I have purchased Elements 11, and am planning to install it soon. Part of my photos are physically located on my hard drive, and part are on a network drive mapped as J:.  Elements finds these photos on J: but I don't think that the Elements Catalog is aware that J: is a network drive/removable drive. It looks for them every time I open Elements, making the program very slow to start up. Should I use the "move to removable drive" to move these photos? How will Elements treat these photos that have been sent to a removable disk? Will I still be able to see thumbnails of the photos and search through my tags for them? If I copy my photos to a new drive, but still call that drive J: will Elements be able to find them? And finally, if I perform this "move to removable disk" task, should I do it now with Elements 7 or update to Elements 11 first? Please help. Joanne

    If the Organizer is slow to start and seems to be searching, you should check two things:
    - that you have not set the 'watched folders' service to look at the network drive (file/watched folders menu)
    - that in the preferences, files, you don't have checked automatic search and reconnection.
    If you can access your files on the network drive from the organizer and see the thumbnails, no need to worry. You can move files from your internal drive to and from the network one by the file / move menu or by dragging and dropping folders in folder view. The organizer should not consider the network drive differently from an external USB drive : if such a drive is not physically connected, you'll get 'missing files'. Only the thumbnails which are stored in the catalog will show. It's different from files on a CD/DVD : if they are not connected, you'll get an offline media warning.
    Only the catalog itself (the database) cannot be stored on a network drive; however it can be stored on an USB external drive.
    If you want to upgrade to PSE11, be sure to make a full backup on a second external drive (such USB drives are affordable today). Note that from that backup, you are able to restore the files not only on their original location, but also in custom location, for instance in the internal drive of another computer (even if the original files are scattered over several internal or external drives).
    If you install PSE11 on your present computer, you should be prompted to convert the existing catalog(s) to the new PSE11 format without having any files or folders to move or copy. That conversion does not change anything to your present PSE7 catalog, which is still working as before.

  • Network drives have significant delay if not accessed for 1 hour

    I’m moving our file server from Netware to Windows Server 2012.  I’ve setup a test share. While Netware never gave us any delays in accessing the drive, our test group immediately started complaining that our network drives “would not come up right
    away”.
    We’re hosting the share on a Server 2012 box and I used both Windows 7 (as that’s the standard in our office) and 8.1 to test the issue.  I noticed that the problem shows itself if a user hasn’t accessed the drive for more than an hour. The effects are
    also exaggerated on Windows 7: if a user hasn’t used the drive, it takes on average 25 seconds to open the drive. This is lessened somewhat with Windows 8, which either doesn’t have the problem or has a delay of 5 seconds to open the drive. This is an improvement,
    but it’s still not acceptable considering we had *no* delays with Netware.
    The first thing I surmised was a problem with the network drivers on my test machines, so I updated them. It didn’t affect the issue at all.
    So then I assumed the problem was coming from some sort of reconnection issue from the end machine to the server, so I attempted to follow the fixes located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684 in order to keep the connection alive indefinitely. This had
    no effect. The delays were just as long as they had been prior to making any changes.
    I’m beginning to run out of ideas as to why our test network drive has these delays. Thanks in advance for any insight you all might have.
    edit: Upon further testing, I have the following information:
    - HD spindown times on the server are set to 0 mins, so there is no spin-down occuring.
    - I haven't been able to find any useful information in the server's event logs.
    - There is no third-party software installed on the server.
    - There are no extra services running on this server. Just the file share.
    - My network provider setup is as follows: NetWare Services >> Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host Server >> Microsoft Windows Network >> Web Client Network

    Hi,
    The issue may be due to the SMB protocol between client and server. Please refer to the thread below to add some registry keys to force SMB2.0 to refresh the screen quicker.

  • Splitting does not work on a networked drive.

    My iPhoto Library is on a following networked drive connected by cat6.
    Linux:CentOS 4.2+samba 3.0.10-1.4E.12.2.
    In this environment, splitting photos does not work. When splitting photos, initially photos are splitted into two events. Then I change a event's name from 'untitled event' to something.
    After that, new directory is created automatically to store photos of new event, and then photos of a new events are moved into this new directory. However, in actuality, new direcotory was created and was renamed, but none of photo was moved from an original event directory into a new directory. As a result, iPhoto lost links for these photos, and I can't access these photos any more.
    I think permission of iPhoto Library is correct. Because I can add, edit and delete photos manually within iPhoto.
    As a workaround, I create a new event first manually, and then cut & paste photos into that from an existing event.
    According to posted topics in this forum, it seems that iPhoto contains a problem when iPhoto Library is stored on a networked drive. Is this also an issue that only Apple can fix...?
    Any hint would be grateful.
    Thanks in advance.

    My problem was also solved. The root cause of this problem was ':'. When splitting events, iPhoto attempts to create a folder named like '2007:08:16' temporarily. In my case, as I described my Library was stored on a Linux Server via the Samba. But the Samba refuses a folder name which is including ':'.
    That's why, iPhoto was not able to create this temporary folder.
    To solve this problem, you have to throw the Samba away and use another file sharing architecture. I decided to use netatalk. Netatalk can accept ':' as a folder name.
    I already installed the netatalk on my Linux Server actually and tried splitting events. As a result, iPhoto was able to split events as expected.
    FYI:
    From my understanding, most of NAS products are using the Samba as their architecture. People using NAS has a possibility to face this problem.
