Problems saving to networked drive

Off and on for some time now I have been having problems saving from Keynote (and sometimes Pages) to a networked drive. I may save once ok, but from then on when I try to 'Save' I get a message that the file cannot be saved. If I save the file under a different name all is ok, at least for a few times before I get the message again. This happens from machines running Tiger or Leopard. The particular 'server' is a machine running 10.4.11 with an attached RAID array - I am logged in under my own account name saving to a volume out on the RAID array. This started when I only had Tiger on all my machines and continues with Tiger on some and Leopard on others. Any suggestions about how I might start attacking this?
TIA

A similar thing happens to me with Pages and Numbers.
Although when it happens, I just save it again, and it saves without any problem.
It works but is a little annoying.

Illustrator CC crashes when saving to network drive

Hi all,
We have 3 Macs all running 10.10 or 10.9 which crash when saving eps file types (PDF saves fine) to a NetApp network drive using Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 release.
Users can save files locally and then copy the files to the network drive with no problems.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks in advance
Colin

Colin,
It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

10.5.3 Update causes problems saving to networked servers

From the first paragraphs of an article in ComputerWorld
Users of Adobe Systems Inc.'s popular design software, including Photoshop and InDesign, have reported that after updating their Macs to the latest version of Leopard, files get corrupted when saved to network servers.
Apple Inc. had no immediate explanation, but a spokesman pointed to a year-old Adobe warning of potential problems when saving files to network drives.
On Wednesday, Apple released Mac OS X 10.5.3, an update that fixed more than 100 security vulnerabilities and other problems.
By the next morning, users were complaining on both Adobe's and Apple's support forums that files created by its CS3 suite applications -- Photoshop is the best known in the bundle -- were being corrupted.
"Essentially, Photoshop doesn't recognize the files after saving edits on an existing X server, thus ruining your file," said a user named Kevin Moran in a message posted to an Adobe support forum Thursday.

Problem importing from network drive???HELP

I have all my photos on a networked drive (pc network)
I want to be able to access the photos from my ibook wihtout putting them on the internal mac HD (would fill it in no time flat).
When I try to import the files i get an error "The volume for "@#!@#" cannot be found....Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again." The drive is accessable from the mac, and is on the desktop, and if I keep hitting 'cancel' for the error message about 8 times the photo loads.
I have over 7500 photos, that is almost 50,000 times to hit 'cancel'
PLEASE HELP!!!

ibook Mac OS X (10.4.8) networked to win xp

I've had similar problems, I'll see if this advanced setting thing will help. My objective is to have my "Master iLibrary" on an external hard drive connected to a new airport extreme wireless network in my house. Then all three household laptops can access our extensive ilibrary without using hard drive space on the laptops, and wirelessly to boot. In addition I want to be able to connect all three ipods (and hopefully an iphone come June:) to any one of the three laptops to access this very large music library (50GB). It seems to me that by trying to protect copyright for the artist the honest end consumer gets hosed. I can't seem to get the album art for many of my songs seemingly because of my unwillingness to re-import hundreds and hundreds of CDs that I have boxed up in the attic. The album art isn't anything more than an issue of asthetics where as deleteing ten thousand songtitles when itunes repopulates my library is enough to make a laptop grow wings and fly across the room. I hope that technology heads toward more continuity for music junkies. I've been trying to find the right device, software and format for my extensive collection of music. I started with musicmatch jukebox and got agrivated then used WMP out of forced convinience. Now I have moved to itunes because apple "seems" to be developing what the consumer wants instead of telling the consumer what they are going to get. I haven't even begun to convert my cassettes, vinyl, or 8 tracks. That is a nightmare waiting in the wings. Anyone with advice in the way of a turnkey operation for my planned setup? I believe that what I am trying to do is very likely the desire of most consumers. If Apple gets this worked out and user friendly I'd bet they'll take over the majority marketshare as fast as they can handle it if not faster.

Audition CC Crashing When Opening/Saving To Network Drives

There is a relatively new issue I'm running into where Audition CC (Mac) keeps crashing when trying to either open or save files to a network drive. I don't get much information from the crash message:
Any ideas as to what may have changed or how to fix the issue?

Thanks for moving this here, Jeff.
You should be able to find a more helpful crash log by opening Applications > Utilities > Console and finding the most recent crash report under User Diagnostic Reports. If you can send the latest Audition crash log as an attachment to [email protected], I'd be happy to investigate further.

Dreamweaver CS3 Problems Saving to Network

Hello! I recently started having a problem where any HTML
files I open from my network volume (an Airport Disk) are becoming
corrupt upon saving. What happens is that once I save and close the
file, next time I open it (or try to preview it in a browser) the
file is completely blank in both design and code views. If I save
to my local disc, everything seems fine. Anyone else having this
issue, and if so, anyone find a fix?
I'm running CS3 on Mac OS X 10.5.3.

This is a known issue with OS X 10.5.3. The official word
from Adobe has been that they have always suggested against this
behavior for this specific reason, thus it is why Version Cue
exists.

Problems copying to SMB network drive

In glancing at the forum posts, I see that most people are having problems with SMB network drives. I thought I would post my experiences and see if they might lend some insight into correcting the issues.
I recently purchased a Coolmax CN-350 NAS, which works as both a SMB and FTP server. It shows up on my list of Shared drives just fine in the sidebar, and I can connect to it just fine through the finder. However, copying to the drive produces a "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “About Stacks.pdf” can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)" error. The item I copy (text file, movie, pdf, etc) shows up on the drive anyway, but it is empty. Nothing new so far, based on what I've read in the forums. I tried copying some files to the NAS drive via FTP and they seemed to transfer just fine. I also can copy files to the NAS via SMB using muCommander. Saving to the NAS from some applications that I've tried so far seems to work (TextWrangler, Pages, Preview) though not from others (QuickTime Player, Illustrator CS3, iTunes). I can't double-click to open the files I created, or moved to the NAS via FTP, but in all cases I've tried so far (movies, pdfs, text files) I can open them from within the application.
Copying from the NAS seems to work without any issues. Files copied over to the NAS via FTP will copy back to the Mac without any errors, and the copied files will open just fine when I double-click them on the Mac, with no information lost.
I've tried some of the solutions & workarounds proposed in the forums here (numerical passwords, logging into the directory directly rather than just attach the drive directly, etc) but from what I'm reading around here, the problem seems to be with the Finder and how it sees the SMB drive. As a side note, when I checked Console, the message it gave for when I tried to use the Finder to copy files to the NAS, it gave the following message:
"10/30/09 9:45:05 AM kernel smb_maperr32: no direct map for 32 bit server error (0xc0000161)"
I'm hoping that this might help someone more clever than I, or perhaps even someone working on 10.6.2 so that this issue can be resolved in the next update. I'd like to think that this isn't some sort of subtle sabotage on Apple's part to try and encourage people to buy Time Capsules; they are cool of course, but I really can't afford one just to make NAS easier. Hope someone can make use of this.

Pretty much same story here. After upgrading to Snow Leopard I could copy things from the SMB drive to my local drive, but not open them by double-clicking.
I also got the -36 error code when I tried to copy files from my local drive to the SMB drive. BUT until about a week ago, I was able to copy the files via the terminal but that stopped working this weekend, which was kind of strange.
I installed the .2 update tonight hoping that would fix it but it didn't. I looked in the console and spotted the SMB error. Searched on Google and this was one of just four results! But I did search for the whole log entry.
Anyway Joseph, if you do find a solution, please post it here and I promise to do the same.
Good luck!

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

Network Drive Hidden Files

When I modify files saved on network drives, a hidden file is created on the network drive that bothers my co-workers. I originally dealt with a .DS_Store file in every folder I accessed on the network drive. I researched and found the support topic related to this issue. I used the command:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
There are no more .DS_Store files, but now, every time I modify something on the network drive, a hidden file appears for the modified file. For instance, I save a Word file Doc-1.doc and a ._Doc-1.doc hidden file is created. Also, if I move or copy a file to the network drive, the same thing (drag and drop x.pdf and ._x.pdf hidden folder.
The single .DS_Store file was bad enough, but now every file I access has a hidden file with it. Any commands to prevent this from happening?

The '._' files contain meta-data specific to the Mac. Contained therein are things like custom icons, the label color for the file, the file type, the file creator, etc.
The Mac only creates those files if the filesystem being written too doesn't natively handle Mac file and resource data. If you can mount the filesystem using AFP instead of NFS or SMB/CIFS, the problem will go away (and AFP also has the benefit of being faster). There's really no way to disable the creation of the '._' files outright.
There are four ways to address the issue:
1. Let your co-workers get over it. Any decent CIFS implementation will hide the '._' files so they won't see them. The files cause no harm, so it shouldn't matter.
2. Manually delete the '._' files. You can do this periodically, even write a script to do it and have it run automatically on a schedule. However, when you delete the files, be cognizant that you are throwing away some information. OS X is going to have to guess the file type, and you won't be able to use custom icons or icon label colors.
3. Use BlueHarvest ($13 download; 30-day free trial). This monitors file creation and deletes '._' just after they're written. You can set rules to delete '._' only for certain types of files too.
4. Use DAVE. DAVE preserves the file meta-data on Windows shares that support alternative data streams by saving the data in an ADS. It should work with most CIFS-type servers.
You might also ask your sysadmin if it's possible to add Mac File Services for Windows -- which lets you access Windows shares as native OS X AFP shares.

Map Network drive in Windows 8.1

Hi Guys,
I was suffering a weird problem about mapping network drive in Windows 8.1.
I ran the command "net use ...." to map a network drive and the command was running successfully. Then I used the "net use" command to check the status for the network drive mapped before, it showed good. But when I opened "my computer",
I couldn't see the network drive mapped before in the explorer.

Hi,
After you created the mapped network drive with "net use", are you able to find the mapped driver letter information in the registry HKCU\Network?
Please also try to map the network drive via GUI tool under Explorer "Map network drive" option, check the result.
for net use command, please make sure that you've set the correct parameters

LabVIEW hangs while writing to unavailable network Drive

Hello,
I am trying to write data at the end of my test sequence run to a file and storing it on a network drive.
If there is a problem with the network drive (busy or disconnected), then my application hangs for around 10-15 secs before giving out error that the drive is unavailable. This is causing the hardware to stop functioning which is dependent on my application. Is there a easy way to check if my network is present and my drives are present? I have tried using the file/directory info VI's present on the file I/O palette and they also cause the application to hang for 10-15 sec before giving out the error.
Thanks,
Jagan.

Hi Jaggs,
   nice question!
   I think the problem is that is not only your LabView application which stops, but the Operating System which hangs, if Storage device access fails. I experienced this problem under many OSs, Win, Linux, Dos-like...even RTOSes (try to access a corrupted Flash card in PharLap ETS for FieldPoint!).
   To check if drive is present, you can ping it... it's quite naive, but at least you avoid the "drive disconnected" problem... I think a ping shouldn't hang PC...
   What Hardware are you controlling? You know, some NI boards (many...) have onboard memory, and can sample independently of PC control....for a while, of course!
   I hope some guru will answer to your question (which I didn't answered, I know! ), because I'm interested too!
   Have a nice day!

Anybody having trouble with InDesign CS2 documents on a network drive?

I just set up my Airport network at home (Airport Extreme base station, external hard drive plugged into the USB port, iMac G5 plugged into one of the Ethernet ports) and have run into a peculiar problem. When working on my iMac (connected vie ethernet) I open an Adobe InDesign CS2 document from the USB network drive. After a minute or so InDesign tells me something has gone wrong and it is shutting down. I immediately re-launch InDesign and it does its auto-recovery and immediately shuts down again. If I re-launch again and it asks if I want to begin auto recovery it immediately shuts down again. Only by telling it "no" to auto revoery can I break the cycle and let InDesign launch normally. However, if I then go to the file I was working on and attempt to open it, InDesign shuts down. I know that InDesign creates a temporary Lock file when you open a document. My guess is that somehow the lock file is getting corrupted and preventing InDesign from opening this file. InDesign documents are the only file types thus affected, Illustrator and Photoshop are fine. I have a second hard drive connected via Firewire and have never had any problems with files from it. My question is, what would be causing the problem on my network drive connectd to the base station? Am I the only one out there with this problem?

Accessing network drives through 9iAS

Hi,
I posted this in "Application Server General" but havn't had a response so thought I'd try here. Has anyone heard of or experienced the following problem ?
Im trying to access a file on a novell network drive using the following JSP code.
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.naming.*" %>
<%@ page import="javax.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
FileReader fr = new FileReader("p:project/systemdocs/test.htm");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
%>
My problem is whenever I try to access a network drive I get the following error.
java.io.FileNotFoundException
This only happens when running through 9iAS and only when trying to access a network drive. If I run my JSP through the OC4J Server that comes with J-Developer I have no problem accessing the files on the network drive with the above JSP.
Does anyone know why 9iAS might be having problems with the network drives??
Thanks

One thing I forgot to mention is that the PC has XP Home Edition for the OS. Hasn't anyone done this sort of thing yet???
Thanks.

Cannot Start a new project with a mapped network drive

When I try to start a new project with Encore and save the file to our network cluster (An Isilon Server), I get a file not found error message. When I try to do this to a local drive, it works just fine. None of the other Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) have this problem with this network drive.
Greg Glaser

Yes, it worked on the local drive, and also to a Windows Networked Server that was not the Isilon. Even after creating the project and moving it to the Isilon, it was generating error messages after a few minutes of use. The Isilon is using a BSD variant of Linux and Samba. The really strange part is the all other Adobe products from the Production Suite work with this server without any problems at all.

Missing network drives from finder

I have recently had a problem with the network drives that i've mounted showing up in the finder. I can connect to them still if i use a short cut i made. Some us of using 10.3.9 are having this issue since the server was upgraded to Tiger 10.4. Any ideas?

The "@" means the item has exended attributes. It's nothing to worry about. If you have verified that the appropriate boxes are checked in Finder prefs to show external drives on the Desktop and the Sidebar, it could be that the invisible bit has been set on the drive. Take a look at my article on the subject here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html
Either the Terminal command, if you have installed Developer Tools, or the Applescript should work. They always worked in Tiger, but Leopard has developed a new twist to the old problem, and in some systemes whatever is causing the problem promptly resets the bit to invisible. There is a bug report active with Apple, but no solution if you are unfortunate enough to have this happen. There have been reports associating this more intractable form of the problem with Spotlight indexing.
