Possible to locate Event & Project Libraries on Network Shared Drives?

My iMovie is running on a Mac Mini.. but I have all my media (iTunes, iPhoto, wish to have iMovie too) stored on large drives attached to a G5 via eSATA and shared on the network over Gigabit Ethernet.
The drives on the G5 show up on iMovie Event Library but not on Project Library.. cannot drag any events into the shared drives from within iMovie (have little yellow triangle with exclamations on them)
The internal drive and any USB drives directly attached to the Mac Mini do allow dragging to though.
is this the limitation.. are the only drives the eligible to locate Event and Project Libraries internal and drives directly attached to the computer running iMovies? That would be a shame.. the eSATA drive shared over GigE have a much higher transfer rate than any USB 2.0 drives that are attached to my Mac Mini..
any help will be appreciated..

Got my answer..
NOTE: To use an external hard disk with iMovie, it must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). *iMovie doesn’t support network-attached storage* or external flash memory drives.

Network shared drive hang

My office use a file server that host network shared drive (mapped on all workstation). The server OS is Windows Server 2008 SP 2, and all clients on Windows 7.
For the past 6 months the network shared drive sometimes hang, but lately becoming more and more frequent.
I cant really put my finger on it, as I checked on the server Event viewer, I can't really find anything related (or it could be I missed it).
I notice many users work online with their office documents (excel, words), they open and save directly to the shared drive, is this also contribute to the shared drive hang?
Help! thanks

Hi,
you should check using resourece monitor and perfmon whether you are running into resource depletion issues.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.08.pulse.aspx
Office documents surely use resources, but a far more common culprit is storing outlook .pst and . ost files on a networkdrive. Aside for being not supported, it is a real fileserver killer. You will have events in system event log indicating issues in such
case.
Especially look for events regarding Srv, SMB, MrxSMB or the server service as all are closely related to fileshares.
Also pretty common, is antivirus doing realtime scan both server as client side, possibly combined with some other filter drivers. (like described in:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822219
there is a nice guide 'performance tuning for fileservers' on Microsoft download.i recommend you take a look.
MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP
ok, I will try to monitor those points you recommended. Thank you.

Copying files from Mac to PC network shared drives.

Copying files from Mac to PC network shared drives.
We have shared mounted drives in AIX Fusion that we can pull files from and copy to the mac, however we can not copy files from the mac to the drives.
“Error in user parameter list (-50)” With MS DOS-Formatted Volume.”
The drives are mapped on the mac using SMB. We can go to the files on the mac and use “save as” and this works and saves them on the shared drives.
We can not drag and copy them to the shared drives. Every time it fails and we get the above error. We can create folders but not move any files.
When we look up the error, it is referring to certain characters that can but used in a Max OS X filename and are not allowed in MS-DOS filenames. We are not using any of the characters not allowed.
The drives have all the basic set up in AIX, RWC. All the PC's we have can drag files to and from all our shared drives.

Either install software which enables the Mac to write to NTFS drives, or MacDrive on the PC, or reformat any drives you'll be using to share files between the computers as either FAT32 or exFAT.

New computer - Can I open previous FCPX events/projects from an external hard drive on my new computer?

My old computer died - a Macbook Pro from 2011. Fortunately, I saved all of my FCPX events and projects on an external hard drive. Unfortunately, many of those projects were unfinished.
I have since bought a new iMac with FCPX, but I can't figure out how to open my old projects.
On my external hard drive, I have 2 folders: Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects.
Under a specific event, there is an "Analysis Files" folder, a "CurrentVersion.fcpevent" file, an "Original Media" folder, and a "Render Files" folder.
Under a specific project, there is a "CurrentVersion.fcpproject", a "Render Files" folder, and a "Shared Items" folder.
Is it possible to open up my old FCPX projects? Thanks so much for your help!

It may have been an earlier version, but that doesn't seem to be working. See attached photo
Its not allowing me to click on my Events or Projects.
Any other ideas?

All final cut events, projects disappeared from external hard drive

I had a re-start this morning and the event I was working on lost its purple box and its white star. Can't find the project, can't find the event.
Even more troubling, the Final Cut Events and Library folders on my external hard drive is also gone. Really need some help here. Any ideas?

It almost looks like all of the original media is gone.

How to access a file in the network shared drive

Hi,
I have a pdf file in a netwoek share drive which opeates on windows platform. I want to access this file. the path to the file looks something like this
acddfd\sap\sapdir\myfile.pdf
I have tried gui_upload , gui_download , ws_upload and ws_download FM. But I am getting file_read error. Is therey any settings i need to made.
I can access the above path from windows menu start->run.
points guarnateed.
Thanks
sankar

GUI_UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD is the way to go. If you can access the directory/file that doesn't mean necessarily that the R/3 system can 'see' it as well. Your local frontend is connected to that share, but I would check with your basis that the application servers where R/3 is running do have access to that share as well.
Also does the R/3 user you are using have the same access right to the network as your Windows Network user?
We had a similar problem and eventually it was just an authorization issue with the R/3 user.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Can't write to network shared drive from PC

I have been using a network drive shared via samba for almost a year. The drive is shared from a PC and it is a ntfs fromatted drive. I have never had a problem writing to the drive before. Today, I did a fresh install of Win7 and all of a sudden I can't write to the drive any more. I have windows sharing the drive with all permissions enabled. I know I am missing something, but I don't know what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I made a mistake. When I enabled permissins to read/write on Win7, I must have forgotten to "apply" and save, because I just checked the settigns and permissions were not what I thought they were. I went back through, hit apply and then saved the settings and everything works as it should.

Time Machine Backup to network shared drive.

Hi All,
I'm a relatively new Mac user (only had my MacBook Air (2010) since about Oct/Nov. I've been trying to get Time machine up and running so that it backs up to a shared 2TB drive on my wife's Windows Desktop Computer, but have only been partially successful.
Theese are the instructions I used: http://safalra.com/other/time-machine-network-drive/
Everything went super smooth and I was rewarded with a Time Machine Backup of about 94GB in progress when I went to sleep last night. However, when I woke up this morning I saw the error that something went wrong (same error I always see) and that I should try again later.
I restarted the backup on the Time Machine to see a backup progress of "43K of 32GB". It seems to be staying right there though. This seems to happen every time I try this. Has anyone had any success doing a Time Machine backup to a Windows Network drive?

The most recent error was along the lines of C3: ". . . an error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
"The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. if the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.:
Also, here's the 4 most recent log entries I have from Time Machine Buddy. They go newest (top) to oldest (bottom).

Airport Express Crashes when backing up to a network shared drive

I have an iMac with a 1TB external drive which it has been using to do time machine backups. I recently decided to backup my Macbook to the same drive using the same disk over the network.
It starts fine and then after 20-40 minutes or so the Airport Express stops working and it needs to be unplugged to get it to work again.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening and what I could do to fix the problem?

Macbook White with 10.6.2
Airport Exress with 6.2 firmware
Thanks!

please clarify if your external drive is connected to an Airport Express. if so, an Airport Express does not work with external HDs - its USB port supports printers ! if you mean an Airport Extreme, please be advised that Apple does not officially support this setup (even though some users have reported that it works for them).

With unsing Apple + K shortcut I can connect to alle Mac Mini drives.
- Both machines have 10.8.4. installed
- Router is a Time Capsule
-> MBP connected via WiFi
-> Mac Mini via LAN cable
- IP Adress will be set via DHCP (static IPs won't help, tried that of course)
- Remote Desktop und Sharing is activated on both machines within preferences
- MacMini sees my MBP und my GFs MB
- MBP is able to see my GFs MB, but not my MacMini
- No Firewall acticated on both machines
- rights have been checked and repaired with the harddrive tool
Anybody an idea what I can try next?
Thanks!

Moving a Network shared drive to WD Mycloud EX4 accessed by 80-100 users

So I'm using the Connection Manager Administration Kit to deploy settings clients can use to setup the Windows VPN at their homes. I'm using a Certificate for the SSTP that I got from GoDaddy. So I was testing the Connection Manager package that I created on a laptop we have here and it turns out the GoDaddy intermediate certificate is not in the cert store.. so I'm assuming the same thing will be true for people at home.So in CMAK I added the cert file (the cert is a p7b file) And I made a Custom Action to run certutil -addstore CA .\cert.p7bBut that didn't add the cert.So then I made a batch file to create a folder C:\certvpn and copy the cert there and run certutil.The batch files creates the folder but doesn't copy the file. I guess my problem is the batch file isnt' running from the folder that its in, and I will never know what...

Pages creates all these folders on network shared drives

Our office has a ton of Macs all hardwired into gigabit ethernet. For years we've used worked with Pages, Numbers and Keynote files directly off a central server and it's always done a great job. Since upgrading to Pages 5.x every single time we open any Pages file it creates a folder with an idential name plus ".pages" next to each file. This folder seems to contain usless data that neither Pages 5 nor Pages 4 recognizes, and deleting the folders doesn't affect the original file at all they still open fine. This is really SUPER annoying and is flooding our servers with all kinds of usless data.
What is going on here and how can this be fixed? Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance...

Pages ’08 and Pages v5+ documents are special Package bundle file objects. When they reside on the Mac, they appear in Finder as ordinary files. When they reside on external storage, they will appear as directories. Pages ’09 documents also appear as regular files, but are in fact a compressed zip of a folder.
Your Mac server is likely running an older version of OS X than Maverick, and does not understand the exclusive new Pages v5 document format, or its proper presentation to end users, as would Mavericks.
Choices:
Export all Pages v5 documents to Pages ’09 v4.3 document format.Resume use /Applications/iWork ’09/Pages
Before saving Pages v5 documents to server, compress them first.
Right-click on the .pages document on your machine, then select Compress menu item.
Creates foo.pages.zip which appears on remote server as this name
Upgrade OS X Server to Mavericks Server
Despite its progressive version number, Pages v5+ lacks substantial functionality from its Pages ’09 v4.3 antecedent, including an entire incompatible document format with other versions of Pages. You should consider it early beta software, and not a viable production release (as Apple marketing would have you believe).

Networking\Sharing: Drive resourse with Imac and Windows PCs

May question start with how dose a person share an IMac external USB drives\resourses with a windows systems.

Hi Dennis,
I tried the steps provided but when I attempted to connect the two computers my iMac said it had to shutdown and had a series of error codes it wanted me to send to apple.
If I follow these steps successfully will I be able to copy or pull files from the windows machine onto the iMac? We have lots of pictures and word files that I'd like to transfer onto the iMac and into programs like iPhoto and Word for Mac.
Is there any other programs required to get the two machines to share files other than what is on both computers?
Thanks, Roger

ITunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive

iTunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive
The latest version of iTunes on a 3-month old Mac Mini (8 gig RAM, OS 10.10.2) does not see any of the shared iTunes libraries on a MacBookPro (MBP) (OS 10.9.5) and a 14-month old Mac Mini (OS 10.9.5). And a network shared drive/media server does not appear as well. I have a Gigabite Ethernet G4 and on it, the MPB and the "old" mini I can see the various shared music libraries and NAS, but not on the new Mini.
The little house with a music note inside it that I see on the upper left corner of the iTunes 12.1 window on my MBP does not appear on iTunes 12.1 on the new Mac Mini. I have gone through all the iTunes preferences and can not find where I can turn on this feature. The new Mac Mini is on the local network and I can reach the internet successfully.
I have been using iTunes since its beginning (still have a PowerTower Pro with a working copy of SoundJam), so I am not a newbie, but this has me baffled.

May I add, that I gave full rights to the user at the Mac Mini to access and change data on the server drive for ITunes Media.

Possible to locate Event & Project Libraries on Network Shared Drives?
