Network drives showing repeating copies of directory content

I'm experiencing a weird issue with mapped network drives under Windows 7. Sometimes it will list the contents of a directory normally, others it will list hundreds of copies of the contents, and sometimes it will keep listing them over and over without stopping. Occasionally refresh will show the contents correctly but it's a **** shoot. It's happening on all network drives. Server is running OES under SUSE 11 sp3 with the latest update from the beginning of the month. Have not done the distribution upgrade yet. Workstation I'm on is running Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows 7 (IR5). I haven't noticed the issue on XP computers. Any idea what could be causing this? It seemed to start sometime in January or early February.

Thanks that looks like the issue I'm having. Guess it's just wait until it's fixed since there is no resolution.

Windows 8.1 search of network drives shows UNC path based results

How do I go about showing the network drive based path as opposed to the UNC based path in Windows 8.1?
In Windows 7 when the user searched for files on a network drive it displayed results that contained the network drive. In Windows 8.1 these searches yield the UNC
path.
For example, Windows 7, if I search for TestFile.docx on Z: it will show a result such as "Z:\SomeFolder\SubFolder\TextFile.docx"
Windows 8.1, if I search for TestFile.docx on Z: it will show a result such as "\\SomeServer\SomeFolder\SubFolder\TextFile.docx"

Hi,
Actually, I tested in my Windows 8.1 system, the result is that it does show (example)"Z:\folder" as the search result, like as Windows 7 system, here's the snapshot:
Or am I missunderstanding something? a snapshot from your result would be helpful.

Windows 7 mapped network drive. shows as disconnected, cannot remove, not showing in registry

a mapped drive shows as disconnected but still work in terms of getting into the shared network folder on our NAS. but i want to remove it. the commapnt prompt command wont do it. you cant disconnected it because it doesnt see a networked
drive. and i looked in the registry and there isnt a registry entry for the mapped drive. in the mountpoint2 or whatever.

To troubleshoot, disconnect the connection first. Please refer to:

Still No Network Drives Showing in Bridge but Everywhere else?

I am still somewhat confused because if I go to open a file in CS4 I have the option to browse my network; there is a network icon there and as soon as I click on it my network is immediately accessible. When I open up Lightroom to import pictures I have the same network icon and as soon as I click on that the network is again just there.
However when I open up Bridge, it says building criteria and when it has finished it only shows me the drives attached to the computer I am currently using and there is no network icon to click on, so why is this the case when Photoshop can see it and so can Lightroom?
Can anyone figure this out because it just does not make sense!

The issue with your artwork not showing is due to the size of your artwork - I asked Apple to take a look at your artwork - please don't change anything at this time.
We will get back to you once all is fixed or if there is something you need to change.

Network drives show while connected

I have a WD NetworkCenter Drive connects to the network via CAT5, here is the poser, this will not connect or be seen while I am wireless, but once I plug in the CAT5 Cable, all SHARED drive connections are there. Would some one please tell me what am I missing here? I have a MBP with the latest and greatest OS, up to date, and am connecting through and Airport Express.

Thank you for the reply
1. I have looked all over as to where I can set the router mode and cannot find anything referring to what you posted.
2. The default router address the the home is based on starts with 192.168.58.55 the WD Netcenter Drives IP is 192.168.58.106 , so to me thats GOOD TO go Correct?
3. I am accessing the Airport Express Via, the Airport Utility in the Utilities section on my MBP

How do I get network drives to show in left panel of media browser

Okay, I'm new to audition. When I start Audition's media browser, only the local HDD's are shown. If I OPEN FILE, I can navigate to find tyhe network drive and Audition will open the file. Also the network drives show in Windows Explorer. I searched the FAQs and the help file, but maybe I'm not using the "magic words" So, how to I get these network drives to appear?
Windows 7 64 bit home premium
home built 3.67 gb Intel Quad core, 12 GB RAM, Several local HDDs
Audition CS6
Thank you

I'm not sure this is correct. I have mapped a NAS to drive "Z" and mapped a drive on my video editing desktop to drive "Y." These both show up in the left panel of the media browser for Premiere and Photoshop as the share names "MYDOCS" and "BAAAA," as well as in Windows Explorer. But not in Audition. Only the local drives are shown in Audition's media browser.
I can open a file in audition by using BROWSE by clicking on "MYDOCS" or "BAAAA" as they appear in the Windows Explorer file dialong and then navigating on those drives to the desired files.
What am I missing? Do others have their network drives show in the left panel of Audition's media browser?

Can I "cache" large RAW files imported from network drive on local drive?

I've seen discussions similar to this topic, regarding "offline" editing, but not exact answers I'm looking for.
I'm copying RAW files from a shoot onto my network RAID drive in a per-album folder, from where I then import into a new LR catalog (I'm using LR 4.1) on my Windows laptop for that album.
I'm finding that editing RAW files on a network drive from a wireless laptop is awfully slow (not to mention not being able to continue the work offline somewhere else), so I'd like to cache those files on my speedy SSD drive just until I'm done editing and exporting/publishing that album.
I back up my per-album catalog onto the network folder alongside the RAW files since that's my IT-managed master repository. When I'm done editing, I'd purge the cached files and just keep the catalog previews on my limited capacity SSD.
So, is there a way to tell LR to, for one/all files imported from a location (in my case a network folder), look in an alternate location for the identical files? Since I create per-album catalogs in per-album folders, there wouldn't be filename clashing. Either LR can provide this caching behavior on its own or I'd manually copy files from the network folder to a local folder and tell LR to look there first.
I don't really want to make copies of files into secondary folders within LR since then it's a hassle to merge edits on the cached copy to its master copy (I haven't done this, but I'd imagine so).
Thanks for your workflow tips.
Erhhung

Have you tried locating your ACR Raw cache on this SSD drive, also ensuring that the size limit of this cache is large enough, to keep a goodly chunk of these Raw images all in play at the same time?
My understanding is that for performance reasons, LR will be caching your Raw data locally in any case - on conventional hard disk by default. And it will be doing so in an intermediate half-converted form (demosaiced into "sensor RGB space" but not translated into "picture RGB values" - the latter process varies depending on your live Develop adjustments).
So long as this cache has not run short, and reallocated space for something else, LR should (as far as I know) not be needing to go back to the network drive to re-fetch actual Raw content. And keeping that cache somewhere fast rather than somewhere slow, should improve responsiveness.
I imagine, though, that LR will continually check the availability and the unchanged timestamp of the real source file; and wouldn't let you carry on working from automatically cached data otherwise.

Can I use it for both a backup drive and shared network drive?

Is it possible to use the Time Capsule for both an automatic backup drive for my Mac AND use it as a shared network drive to store my large library of home videos? If so, does it require partitioning the drive and are there instructions available? Alternatively, if I store my home videos on its own network drive, will Time Capsule backup this drive too? If I don't want any external drives tethered to my mac, how would set up the 2 drive scenario, so that home video drive can be shared on the network?
To be specific, I'm looking for a networked drive solution that allows me to do the following:
1) automatically back up my Mac
2) act as the primary storage drive for 750GB of the kids home videos (to save room on Mac) [Side question - ]
3) have the ability to watch the home videos on both my family room Apple TV (is this even possible?) and my kitchen Mac Mini display (would my Mac's iMovie's library be able to include my home video content that is stored on a network drive, or does it require the content to be on the Mac hard drive?).
4) If I use a two drive solution (time capsule backup and cheaper second drive), I want to be able to have Time Capsule back up the home video content on the second drive.
5) I do not want any drive tethered to my Mac, only wirelessly connected. Would the second drive be connected to the Time Capsule? How would this be set up?
Many thanks!

basically yes, but i wouldn't recommend it.

the disk in the TC can't be partitioned in the traditional way. but you can use disk utility to create a "fixed-size" sparse disk image on the TC's disk for use with other data. use the instructions here, just leave out the encryption part.
Alternatively, if I store my home videos on its own network drive, will Time Capsule backup this drive too?
no.
time machine can not back up from network drives.

1) automatically back up my Mac

consider a NAS that is time machine compatible.
3) have the ability to watch the home videos on both my family room Apple TV (is this even possible?) and my kitchen Mac Mini display (would my Mac's iMovie's library be able to include my home video content that is stored on a network drive, or does it require the content to be on the Mac hard drive?).
it's possible to stream content stored on a TC (or NAS) to TV. using home sharing, your mini would be able to access files in homeshared libraries.
it doesn't matter where the files are stored as long as iTunes knows they are there. in other words, the content needs to be in an iTunes/TV friednly format and in your iTunes library - that doesn't mean the content can't be stored on an external HD, a TC, or a NAS.
4) If I use a two drive solution (time capsule backup and cheaper second drive), I want to be able to have Time Capsule back up the home video content on the second drive.
What can Time Machine back up, and where can it put it’s backups?
5) I do not want any drive tethered to my Mac, only wirelessly connected.
IMO, your best course of action is to get a NAS. if you're interested, i can highly recommend this device by Synology.
Synology NASes play very well with Macs and have excellent backup features on board. given enough space (i have 4x2 TB drives installed) you can store your media files there, use time machine to backup your Macs to it and can use the on-board backup solution to back up the whole shebang to a USB drive connected to the NAS.

Network drives counted in internal drive??

I Use an iMac 27 with Maverick. After a recent external hard drive crash I installed a 2TB Time Machine as my replacement external drive to hold photos. (This is not a Time Machine question). Having recently cleaned up my internal drive that was nearing its 1TB capacity I was surprised to see it full again. Then I noticed my new network drive is showing up under the Mac main drive. it appears it's counting the new drive toward the 1TB capacity. I started downloading my lost files from the cloud and as the new network drive added data the capacity of my 60% internal ran to 100%. Any ideas how to get my internal mac drive not to count the network drive?

Eric, I've tried your suggestion regarding Spotlight but not sure if I am seeing results. In Spotlight Privacy I can add the shared folder called "Data" (has three men icon on the folder) on the external network drive but whether I add it and remove it (as suggested by the link you sent) or add it and leave it on the list (so that Finder doesn't search there) I still get the full Macintosh HD - 995GB.
I've also been trying to use OmniDiskSweeper to locate large files but when I show the list of drives to sweep, it lists Macintosh HD and my other external drives but not the Network drive. Yet when I open the Macintosh HD to sweep, it lists the shared drive as one of the Volumes of the Macintosh HD but it doesn't list the other external drives under the Mac HD - only the network drive shows as part of the Mac HD.
I noticed at one time that the new external drive had an eject symbol next to it in Finder like my other external drives and now it doesn't show it. I tried to "disconnect" the external but it still shows on OmniDiskSweeper and I'm thinking its in the total of the Macintosh HD as it shows as a Volume in OmniDiskSweeper.
I'm wondering if a Time Capsule can be used for anything but Time Machine as it doesn't seem to want to cooperate as an external drive.

Could not reconnect all network drives

I have several drives mapped on different Windows 7 boxes in my office. Just about every time I boot up one of these systems I receive the message "Could not reconnect all network drives" in the system tray.
I should note that merely clicking the drive inside Windows Explorer will restore the connection. I store the server logon credentials in Control Panel / Credential Manager then just map the network paths to drive letters. I'm pretty sure the
problem doesn't stem from any credentials type of problem though, because I have the exact same situation when connecting to only open shares. I have noticed that a couple applications will restore the connection themselves when trying to access information
on a share. Most applications however will give an error and time out trying to access the shares unless I go and manually click each drive letter in Explorer. For instance if I place Firefox bookmarks on a share and open Firefox, Firefox will
display no bookmarks until I click the drive in Explorer and reopen Firefox.
One thing I can do to fix the problem is hard code my IP address. I never receive the message if a computer has fixed IP address. My router hands out IPs on the LAN dynamically, so I switch it to another router and tried a using a Linux based dhcp-server
as well. Neither fixed the problem.
I'm a long time user of batch files and realize I could place use one as a band aid for this issue, but I don't want to go that route.

Hello marstech,
According to the research, the mapped drive lost issue may be caused by the several possible reasons:
Possible reason1. The problematic client doesn't reconnect to the target share at logon.
Please follow the steps to re-configure the mapped driver on the client and then check if the issue will re-occur.
Steps:
a. Open "My Computer"
b. Click on "Tools" and then select "Map Network Driver"
c. input the \\ipaddressofserver\sharename to give the path of the share
d. Check "Reconnect at logon"
e. Drive gets mapped
f. Double click on the drive to check.
Possible Reason 2. Antivirus software or Windows Firewall may block the SMB protocol on clients.
Please check if there is any Antivirus software and the Windows Firewall is enabled on the problematic client. If so, please disable them to check if the issue can be resolved.
Possible Reason3. Fast Logon Optimization is enabled on the clients.
The fast logon feature may affect the display and drive letter assignment of a mapped network drive. As a result, the drive may have been mapped; however, the user on client cannot see it in Windows Explorer. He may recognize it as a failed network drive mapping.
This is the reason why we usually suggest you to disable fast logon on the clients via a GPO, and please check if the mapped network drive will be occur under this circumstance.
Please also configure the following group policy setting to disable Fast Logon Optimization to see if the issue still exists on the problematic clients.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
When this policy is enabled, a Windows XP client behaves in the same manner as a Windows 2000 client at both system startup and at user logon.
Please note: As this is a computer configuration, please run "Gpupdate /force" and then reboot the problematic clients to make it take into effect.
For more information about Fast Logon Optimization feature, please check the following KB article.
305293 Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=305293
831998 Mapped network drive shows no drive letter or will not allow you to create new long-named files or folders
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831998
297684 Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684
If the issue still exists on the problematic clients, please also try adding the following registry subkey on the problematic client to check it works.
Steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
b. Locate and click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
c. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
d. Type SilentForcedAutoReconnect , and then press ENTER to name the value.
e. Double-click SilentForcedAutoReconnect .
f. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any concen.
Hope the information can be helpful for you.

10.7.5 will only see network drives which do not exist

Have two external drives plugged into a Time Capsule. Would previously be able to access either or both.
Now, after logging in only one of the network drives shows up - the one that is turned off and unplugged (appears in finder, but can not access once clicked).
The drive that is plugged in and turned on will not show up in finder windows.
Restarting computer and force restarting finder have no effect.
What would cause this?

86 views and no replies? Come on people!
I still can't figure this USB problem out.
Please help!

OSX 10.9 not showing all network drive contents

Hi,
I one of the users in our department has updated to osx 10.9
when the user connects to the network drive it connects but when the user navigates to the folder they need it appears to be empty.
We have tested on or Macs and the contents show up fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried both smb:// and cifs:// but to no avail.
Thanks

Hi,
There are few hiccups after 10.9 release. Have you checked and installed the following pathch ?

Need to search contents of text files on a windows network drive....

I am trying to search the content of a directory on a windows network drive for that contains .sas files (essentially text files) for a certain text string. Find does not seem to do this. Any ideas/suggestions?
When I copy a file to my desktop I can do it easily, but that is not an option.

Uh yeah....in my opinion GREATLY affects Apple's claim to windows compatibility......unless there is a solution out there. My firm is windows-based and we have a terabyte or so of data and files related to various stuff all buried in subfolders..and all I want is to search one folder for one text string.
I'm praying for a solution here.....

Network drives do not show up on Desktop or in Sidebar

I have a user who is experiencing a weird problem. When they connect to a Windows server over our LAN, the server does not show on their desktop, nor does it show in the sidebar.
I have checked the boxes in Finder/Preferences to show network drives on the desktop and in the sidebar, but the network drives do not show up.
I have reproduced this on another Mac, a G4 also running 10.5.8 .
The windows servers do appear in Go/Network, and the user can connect to them, but they still don't show up on the desktop or the sidebar.
Does anyone have any good ideas about this?
Thanks in advance!

Templeton, I'm sorry if my message wasn't clear, but I have already tried that.
I'm beginning to wonder if there might be some issue with this in 10.5.8, since this works on the Macs here with Snow Leopard, and it used to work when we had Macs on earlier versions of OS X.
Again, I'm open for any ideas on this.

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.
