Private shares permission can't always save or delete via Mac Win 7 ok

I have two macbook airs 14 models and one Imac a 14 model Running Yosemite 10.0.4. I also have a 4 year old Windows 7 Toshiba Laptop. I have a Western digital My Book Live duo, with the latest firmware updated 17 July. This NAS has a number of private shares with full admin rights and accessed via wifi and or lan through a static ip address set in the NAS drive From my Windows 7 I just mapped the drive through the IP address and everything works I can open delete save any type of file I want in any program, create directories and for a small NAS drive on a home network it is very fast. However on my Mac’s there are huge problems, none the least is the slowness of accessing files and the drives. It is like watching grass grow, to see and access files in the various private and public shares. The biggest problem is not all files can be saved over e.g. word for mac 2011 save as and not all can be deleted "due to naming and permission’s errors or access rights to delete or modify" "Word cvannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error." This is incorrect according to the NAS drive admin page and from the Windows 7 machine that allows it to save. Name changes don’t matter no does assigning user rights to the specific file. It is the same with some videos and other files randomly. I have created a start up script for the apple that runs in the user login items. This is the only way I have found to log into the private shares with Macs. I understand you can do something at a terminal level but I have no understanding of this delay 10tell application "Finder" mount volume "smb://Networkname;usernameassword@Networkname/User1" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /Photos" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /User" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /Scanneddocuments" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /Scannedphotos" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /music" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /General" mount volume "smb:// Networkname; usernameassword @ Networkname /Videos" delay 2 set desktop shows connected servers of Finder preferences to falseend tell This script mounts the shares and keeps the folders hidden on the desktop. I see on these WD community forums others are having similar problems at least since 2012 To quote a problem and suggested solution “Checking file info I see the same as another contributorRegardless of whether I connect as guest or connect as admin - the permissions I am seeing on the subfolders of the public share are: daapd Read & Writestaff Read & Writeeveryone Read only. But above the list of permissions it says "You have custom access". Another contributor offered this as a solutionSolution:Went to the web UI usinghttp://drivename.local/which redirected to http://drivename.local/UI/Added ssh to the url: http://drivename.local/UI/sshChecked the box to turn on sshOpened a terminal window, connected via ssh using the UI-supplied passwordNavigated to the public folder. Ownership of the public folder was "root" and group "share". Ownership of the problematic subfolders was "root" and group "root".executed the command "chgrp -R share Public" to change ownership of all files under public to the "share" group.Closed terminal window. Turned ssh back off. Drive behaves normally. However when I follow this it only brings up the login page no check box to move to the next steps. This may be simple to those who understand these things but alas I don’t.” I am at a loss on how to sort this as I have little knowledge of Apple systems or how to have a WD network share operating like a network should. Is this a Western Digital problem of Apple. I see other posts talking about similar issues relating to file and folder privileges. I saw an earlier post regarding the same issue and a contributor recommended Thank you for any info you can provide

Can sync two iPhoto libraries? (via.mac?)

My wife and I both use macs. We both take digital photos and so each have iPhoto libraries - both of which are inevitably incomplete. But what would be really handy is to have one 'shared' iPhoto library.
Can users on two machines somehow sync or share iPhoto libraries - either through wifi sync or via .mac ?
Thanks

RossM:
At the present there is not way to sync iPhoto 7 libraries. Any sync application can sync the image files but the database file, Library6.iPhoto, that contains all of the organization information, events, slideshows, keywords, comments, etc. has to be the same as far as content. Syncing apps cannot sync content of files. Until iPhoto Library Manager gets updated to be compatible with iPhoto 7, the only way is to export and import manually. At least the exported file will contain the keywords, title, comments and changed date (if the date was changed).
So keep new photos in their own events so that when it comes time to export and import it's easy to know which are the new ones.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't always save Adobe PSE pix with thumbnails

Sometimes after editing a photo in Adobe PS Elements (not using iPhoto) I get a thumbnail with the saved file and sometimes not. Why is this? Also can I edit the thumbnailo image? Thanks
Owen

My questions were answered with the help of Barbara Brundage is the Adobe PSE forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b61a30/0
The following is a summary of the discussion:
In the course of this thread I have learned a few things and think that it would be useful to summarize the major points.
First there were several issues, some Mac and some PSE related. This discussion was greatly facilitated by Barbara Brundage who was able to discuss both. Thanks, Barbara.
There were 2 issues that seemed connected but weren't. First, it wasn't clear to me for stored images why sometimes I saw a thumbnail icon and sometimes a generic icon (eg, a generic JPEG icon). Further, there were 2 different generic JPEG icons. Secondly, when I emailed JPEG files, recipients on Windows machines could not open some of the images.
The latter problem was solved by choosing in Mac Mail Edit>Attachments>Always send Window Friendly Attachments
Without this selection for some reason the incompatibility was worse with PSE6 than it had been with PSE4.
Normally with a generic icon (e.g. JPEG, PING) the Mac will substitute a thumbnail of the image if in the Finder>View>Show View Options "Show View Icon" is selected.
For a reason that is not clear saved images from PSE6 sometimes have an Adobe PSE generic icon, which is different. This icon says JPEG in bold letters and has some geometric symbols (overlapping square, triangle and circle). Selecting "Show View Icon" has no effect on this icon. When the Mac is restarted the Adobe generic icon will have been replaced by a thumbnail (regardless of whether "Show View Icon" is selected). Whatever is going on here is minor (but might be confusing).
Finally it is a good practice not to use periods in filenames, except preceding the extension.

Can't connect to terminal server via Mac RDC

Users can't log in to our terminal server (Server 2008) from Mac using RDC 2.1. After typing in the server name, the client asks the user to login. The user fills in their username, password and domain but receives and error stating "The credentials
that were used to connect to [server_name} are incorrect".
Any user, including myself who am a Domain Admin, get this error. When I log in using the domain's Administrator account, however, I can log in just fine.
None of this occurs when trying to login from a Windows client. The Mac I tested on is running OS X 10.5.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
For remote desktop in MAC OS, you can try to update the new Remote Desktop Connection. New Multiple Session Support gives Mac users simultaneous access to multiple
Windows-based PCs or to a network server that hosts remote applications and files. Since it is a Universal application, Remote Desktop Connection Client 2 is compatible with the latest technologies on Windows and Mac platforms.
Please refer to the following link:
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=18140
Setting 'Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)' in the Terminal server to sees if it’s work well.
Technology changes life……

Can't change password or delete a Mac OS X account

I set up an account for my son (6 years old) so that he could have his own desktop and access to his own 'stuff' w/o getting into my stuff. I'd like to change the password (I just used my password) to something easy for him. But when I go into 'accounts' it doesn't let me change his password. I log on as an administrator but the change password button for his account doesn't lite up. I also thought about deleting his account and starting over, but I can't delete it either. I've clicked the lock at the bottom as well and that doesn't seem to work... Any ideas?

How do you log out? Is that different from just switching from one account to the other? I use the pull-down tab in the upper right corner with our names on it to switch from one to the other... But never really 'log out.'

I have an iMac(mid2010) running Pages v5.5.1 on OS X 10.10. Why can I not save or share documents. The error message is You can't save the file "TEST.pages" because the volume is read only.

I get the same message when using Numbers so I presume it is a OS problem

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

My ipod crashes off whenever I want to connect to a private share. I have 4.3.3. What can I do?

My ipod crashes off whenever I want to connect to a private share. I have 4.3.3. What can I do?

- Regarding the apps you previously had installed, your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
- Otherwise, as you found out, there are not that many apps still compatible with 4.2.1. However,Safari, mail and music work like they originally did.

Hi Sandy
This is the kind of problem that nearly needs You to be a wizard or at least
"clearvoiant" (don't know the spelling).
There are so much that can go wrong:
- You have deleted program - Hopfully You know whar You have done.
- Do You have external devices connected to Your Mac eg; ext hard disks,
DVD-burners or else ? (If possibly disconnect them)
Then I would start with:
- repair permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
- repair hard disk - to do this You need to start from CD or reconnect an
external hard disk temporarily (Apple Disk Util tool)
- re-start from main drive
- make a new account
- logg out of this and into the new one
- now start iDVD ans see if it starts OK
You have a 800MHz G4
My Blue/White G3 - with G4-CPU and 600MHz takes about 15 hours to calculate
a one hour movie. That means that Your G4 would take about 5 hours per hour movie.
BUT it shouldn't Crash !

Can no longer save a new bookmark directly to one of my foldersin bookmarks w/o saving, then dragging it from recently bookmarked. Any way to go back to old style of brining up list of folders in the gray box when adding a new bookmark?

Until a recent update in Firefox, I could always save a new bookmark to the folder of my choice by using the drop down list in the gray box that comes up when I chose to bookmark a site. Now only a few of my folders - probably most recents - show up and I can't seem to access the whole list. I now have to go to "recently bookmarked" and drag the bookmark from there to the folder of choice. Any way to restore the ability to make it a one stop save to my folders like I used to? Thanks.

No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue. When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab. But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back. When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
Thanks.

Can somebody can tell me is CC for team can support to save the files in the local area without using the cloud ?

Can somebody can tell me is CC for team can support to save the files in the local area without using the cloud ?

The desktop applications are still installed on your computer, and the files are also saved on your computer.
Optionally you can upload files with a browser to https://creative.adobe.com/files, or sync up files using the file sync that is part of the Creative Cloud desktop application. The online file storage is private to you, no one else can see it your files.
If you do want to share your files there are two options:
You can Collaborate, which is sharing a folder with another Adobe ID. Only the person you collaborate with can see the folder.
You can use Send Link to send a publicly accessible url to a file or folder.

In the new iphoto app, why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once?

why can't i save multiple images to camera roll at once? it seems i can only save one at a time and its very frustrating..
the options seem to be there, they are just greyed out and i cant click on them.
at first i thought its because the images were too big, so i tried it with smaller images but same thing.
APPLE HELP!

I can confirm @khaniff's original post the option in iPhoto for iOS is greyed out in conflict with the referenced article that follows:
Save to the Camera Roll
Tap a photo, album, or event and tap .
Tap Camera Roll.
Confirm or change the photos you want to share by tapping an option.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.

How do I force an .ait to always save as a .pdf

I create a lot of very similar files in Illustrator. The way they have been doing it is that they have .pdf files of the basic templates that they use, and then always use "save as" after they have opened and changed it. I was just wondering, is there a way to set an .ait so that it always saves as a pdf, or conversely, is there a way to create a pdf file which will not accidentally be "saved over itself".
I really like the fact that when you open a template file, it opens as "untitled" so that when you go to save, you always are creating a new file, however since we really only have use for .pdf files, it is kind of annoying with a template file because whenever I go to save, I have to change the "file type" field from .ai to ,pdf.
Additionally, how do I set these templates (or perhaps just Illustrator itself) so that they always default to saving in the same folder? There is really only one place that I want to save these files, but since I often open files from other locations, the save location changes with me, and then I have to navigate back to my "save" folder every time.
Anyway, thanks in andvance for any help you can give.

Well, then I guess that is my real question... how does that work?—the script menu was the first thing I tried. When I direct to Scripts>SaveAsPdf and select a folder to save in, it changes the file I have open to a pdf, but then my template is closed. When I go back and reopen a file from the template, it creates another .ai file. I know it sounds kind of minor, but these files get created about 50 times a day, so it really gets annoying.
What I want is a template that creates a new pdf file every time I open it. Currently the template creates a new .ai file, which I then have to select "save as" and then select "pdf" from the drop down menu, then "save" and then "save as pdf" when the pdf settings (which never change) screen pops up.
Also, I want all my descendant files to be saved in one—and only one—folder. It seems that whenever I open or save a file in another folder, then my save location moves with it. When I go to create a new descendant file I have to navigate back to my "save descendant files here" folder. Is there a way to attach the "save" location to each .ait file, so that I don't have to keep navigating back and forth 50 times a day?
Anyway, Maybe I am just nit picking about things that do still work the way they are, but I'm trying to eliminate as many opportunities to make uneccesary mistakes as possible, and relieve a bit of my Repetitive Click Navigation Stress...

Can I make Save as PDF the default printer

I have an application that I only want to Print as "save as PDF." It doesn't seem like I can set this as a default printer for this application or the computer. Am I wrong or will I always need to use the drop down to save as a PDF?

you can't set "save as pdf" as a default printer. you can try CUPS-PDF which creates a virtual pdf printer and you can use that.

Firefox 4 sucks! Why can't I save my tabs when closing Firefox, & why can't I have a red X to stop a slow page from loading?

NOT FASTER!! MUCH SLOWER!!
When I close Firefox, I can no longer save my tabs. WHAT GIVES?
When a new page isn't coming up, I can no longer stop it from loading & try again.
WHY do my tabs need to be above the toolbars?
I've loved using Firefox & have used it exclusively for about the last ten years, but if this is how it's always going to be now, I'm going to look for a new browser!
''moderator edited the title of this thread''

The described fix seems to work fine, and I appreciate the fast response.
Firefox developers, I've been a developer myself. Setting the default to not save tabs in Firefox 4 is going to make a lot of people VERY angry.
I'm a fairly educated user. After upgrading, the first thing I did was to check Preferences and try to make sure all settings were good to maintain what I've been accustomed to doing. I didn't take the Firefox 4 tour, but shut down the application to make sure caches were emptied. There was no warning about my multiple tabs, but it was too late to stop the process. When I opened it again, all my tabs were gone, some of which related to material or local logins that I will have a hard time re-creating.
If my wife had done this, you would have heard her swearing without benefit of phone or online chat window, no matter where your labs are. :-)
For everyone's sanity, please don't turn off the Preserve Tabs on Logout function without warning.
