OS X + Network Drive problems

I have two usb hardrives connected to an airport extreme and it works great until i close the lid of my laptop. When i turn my computer on from sleep/hibernate mode it pops up an error message saying "Network drive interruption" then i cannot connect back to that network drive for atleast 5 - 7 minutes. What can i do to resolve this problem or speed up the process of reconnecting to disconnected network drives?

I suspect the problem may be because if you are using wireless, then Airport is turned off when you put your computer to sleep. This disconnects you from the wireless network. That may be the reason for the interruption message. If this is why the problem occurs then a solution is not to put the computer to sleep or dismount the networked drives beforehand.

  • M 8215 D1U network driver problem

    Installed a new hard drive (old one crashed), loaded Win XP Pro no problems.  Trying to load network driver first so that getting other drivers would be easier.  Used q37z53usa download from Lenovo.  When I execute SETUPBD per instructions I get an error "..... is not a valid Win32 application".  What am I doing wrong or what else can I try?
    Thanks, Kevin

  • Import to network drive problem

    I tried to import from my camera to my external hard drive that was plugged into my airport extreme. while importing, the external disappeared from my desktop, and the computer had apparently lost connection to the external. imovie however, continued to import, but it was importing to somewhere on the local HD, instead of the networked drive. i have looked in all of the obvious places for these approximately 15 GB of files, but i can't find them anywhere.
    i have tried this twice, and both times it happened. i won't be trying this workaround for importing directly to a USB 2.0 external HD in the future because it clearly doesn't work, but now, i'm out of room on my computer's HD, and i have no way to find the files to move/delete them. any idea where imovie put these files? thanks for your help!

    This is my post and I'm new, so I may not be providing the answer in the "usual" manner.  (Feel free to educate me!)
    Solution:
    The mounted volume on MacBook is /Volumes/photowork.  Notice the lowercase 'p' in photowork.   In LR I had selected a mount point
    with *uppercase* 'p'.  See screen shot.  Summary: The already-selected mount point was /Volumes/Photoshop.  LR had no complaints.  When
    I changed the mount point to /Volumes/photowork LR imported as expected. 
    This only became an issue since the upgrade, as I simply never tinkered with mount points and so on.  This archive
    server has files back to 2000 on it.    Thanks so much to those who responded.

  • ITunes library on network drive problems

    Library source folder (on my network drive) defaults to the original folder locaton on my iBook after an, as of yet, undetermined time. How do I define the library source folder for iTunes on my network drive and force it to keep that location?
    Thanks.

    On startup, iTunes checks the presence of the 'iTunes Music' folder as set in Preferences>Advanced>General.
    If it doesn't find it, it will reset that location.
    There is no way of forcing iTunes to keep the location.
    iTunes must have a folder to store the next imports. That's the reason why it resets the location if it can't find the designated 'itunes Music' folder.
    Always be sure your network drive is available before running iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help Network Drive problems with Itunes

    Can anyone help me!! I use a Maxtor shared Drive with various Roku soundbridges around my house.
    What i want is Itunes to always put my music in my shared storage Drive (HOME:My Music:itunes.i tunes music), but everytime i restart my Machine i get
    the standard itunes Directory.(MacintoshHD:users:me:music:itunes:itunes Music)
    does anyone know how to solve this
    Regards

    I'm using both itunes for Mac and iTunes for windows, I have a network drive that I have all of my music on. iTunes for windows reconizes the networks drive and all of the music. on iTunes for mac if you go to iTunes, prferences, advance you will find the folder on which all of the music is being stored. Have you tried that?
    Further more I have not being able to link my iTunes for Mac to my network drive. when I tried it I had to first look for the network drive, connect to it and then from iTunes look for a folder to add to library. when I did that, itunes tried it to copy all of the music to the computer's hard drive, which I do not want. Do you know how to map a netwrok drive on to a mac computer?

  • Network Drive problems with Fast User Switching

    I have a USB drive connected to my Time Capsule and shared to the network. On one of my computers (Mac Pro) I have 2 user accounts which access the data (music, photos). The first one to access the drive after a power on has no problems, and everything works perfectly. However, if I Fast User Switch to the other account, it can see the drive but cannot access it (permission problem apparently). I then have to click the disconnect button in finder, and reconnect, and then can use it again fine. Then when I switch back to the first account its the same deal, having to disconnect and reconnect. It is really annoying, since it marks all my itunes songs as missing and whatnot. Does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Yes, under Sharing in System Preferences both users have been added to full access of the drive. I had to do that for the non-admin account to be able to access it at all.

  • Mac Mini Mounting Network Drive problems....  weird

    Okay 2 Mac minis. Older G4/1.33/512/40/Combo, 10.4.11 Not as old C2D/1.83/2gb/80/Combo. First one mounts SMB shares from a NAS store no problems.
    2nd one (newer) does SOME of the shares and not others. Will see, connect, mount and place icon on desktop. As soon as I click th icon on desktop or side panel in finder, it clears screen, closes the windows that are that open. Other mounted shares it will open and use. Its the same ones each time that cause the problem.
    Anyone no why? Have checkled all network settings on both machines and there both identical in evy way. Connecting using same user name and password.

  • Intel D946GZIS network driver - problem

    I'm trying to get Zfd 4.01 ir5 to work on the abovementioned board,
    which has an internel intel(r) 82562G integrated adapter, which is not
    recognized by the kernel.
    ifconfig gives nothing back, i've tried insmod -f e100 / e1000 (with paths),
    but this gives back "init_module: no such device".
    intel however, distributes packages containing only the e1000.ko file,
    but this is only usable on newer (2.6) kernels.
    Kernel version we're using is 2.4.32-pre3.
    Does anybody know which module is needed for this adapter?
    ir7 is (currently) not an option, since we're in a bit of a version
    freeze for Zfd at the moment (I'm calling it "being scared of change").
    Any help appreciated!

    When trying an old eepro.o module, I'm getting "init_module: Device or
    resource busy" ..
    I found an old Redhat 7 thread that describes a problem with the eepro.o
    module
    and the initialization of the hardware, but the mentioned fix doesn't work.

  • MOVED: Network Driver Problem

    This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163944.0

    OK:
    Let's try this...
    Download and run this driver again.

    Now, go to the device manager and click on the ethernet controller needing drivers.
    Click on the driver tab.  Click on update driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
    Then click on Have Disk and browse to:  C:\SWSetup\sp69909\WIN7\64\hp64win7, and select the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller from the list of ethernet controllers and see if the driver installs that way.

  • P2050 on 2008 network - driver problem

    Hello,
    I am using Server 2008 Print and Document services and have successfully added the HP p2050 x64 and x86 drivers to the server.
    When from a client I add the network printer the printer installs OK but attempting to print or display the properties displays and error message.
    "Function address caused a protection fault exception code 0xc0000005"
    The printer is working fine as a local printer to the server and also as a local networked printer (but not managed by the server) on the clients. I found an application on HP drivers site "HP Install Network Printer Wizard" is this something I should have used?

    I'm having this same issue, but sharing from Windows 7 Home Premium to a Windows XP client.

  • Problems setting up Time Machine using a network drive

    I am having problems setting up TimeMachine on my Mac Mini to work with a WD MyBookLive network drive.  The network drive came with a TimeMachineBackup shared folder preconfigured.  When I first connected the drive to the router and turned on TimeMachine, the TimeMachineBackups appeared as an option when I did "Select Backup Disk" from TimeMachine Preferences.
    I managed to successfully connect to the drive and start a backup running.  However the backup hit a problem and I started getting an error that the "disk was already in use".  I therefore tried to remove the disk to try and start again.  Hoever when I now do go into "Select Backup Disk" from TimeMachine Preferences the shared folder on the drive no longer apperas and I only get the option to serach for an Time Capsule.
    If I go into Finder, the MyBookLive shows up as a connected Device with all its shared folders showing (including the TimeMachineBackup folder)  and my Mac is definitely connected to the drive.  How do I get the Drive & TimeCapsuleBackup shared folder to reappear in TimeMachine Preferences so that I can select it as the destination for my backups?

    Check around the forum, you are one of very very many. It doesn't matter what WD say, do you see a Certified by Apple notice on it?
    Go here, most authoritative site about Time Machine you can find. http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html

    I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says -  'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Iomega network drive no longer connects under iTunes 10.5 - lost access to all my songs. Anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.5 / IOS 5?

    I have an Iomega 500Gb network drive (Connects via CAT5 cable to hub) It contains all of the music in my iTunes. It worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 10.5 (and installed IOS5 / iCloud). Now, I can no longer access ANY of the music. The drive shows as a device in iTunes, but when I click it, it displays the songs for a split second, but they then disappear and I connot access them. The Iomega drive functions normally when accessed via a Windows browser.
    Anyone else with this problem?
    regards Steve

    FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

  • Hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 / Lion Problem

    Updated to Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion and got this "problem":
    The hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 (unlike in 10.6 Snow Leopard).
    Normally these network drives are hidden (in Finder and other Apps) - but Adobe Bridge CS5 is showing them, despite "show hidden files" is unchecked in Adobe Bridge.
    Not a dramatic "bug", but it also shouldn't be a big problem for Adobe Bridge engineers to solve this. My first question to the Adobe Support was answered like: "we don't know what Apple did change, so we cannot do anything". Hmmm, are you serious?
    I tried to resolve that problem by myself but failed. So, if an Adobe engineer is reading this post: perhaps Adobe Bridge is ignoring the automounter master map (that was my approach to resolve it):
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master                    # Use directory service
    /net           -hosts                 -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home                                        auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers               -fstab
    /-                              -static
    You cannot do anything to these folders, so it is not a serious issue, but, I mean, did someone at Adobe check compatibiliy with 10.7 and ignored this issue? If so, are there an other issues ignored?
    But I guess, the compatibilty update for Bridge CS5 for Lion is Bridge CS6 - to be fair: I also have to say, that in general Bridge is running okay on Mac OS X 10.7.2 (but could be better, as always;)

    Hi Curt Y,
    thanks for your answer! Yes you' re right, I forgot to mention that ... before I posted here, I sent a bug report via the Apple Bug Report webpage about the issue ... of course, here are 2 parties involved.
    I had a similiar problem once and I got a meesage back from Apple: "that it is a 3rd party problem, sorry" (it was about color management).
    I am just a user and I often feel very strange about Apple's (topsecret) communication behaviour ... Whatever, what do I know about software engineering? - Right.
    Maybe someone on this forum has an idea, because I'm afraid, thus it is not a serious bug, no one would take care about it in the next time (during my research I found an older post here on the forum about the same problem ...).
    thanks for help in advance,
    jobumac
