Problems when network drive is not available

Hi everyone,
I have a laptop (MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5), which shares a network drive in my office. The drive is with a different computer. When I take the laptop out of the office network (to a meeting or home), InDesign will not open, it gives me the following error (see attached image). I've tried replacing the Defaults and SavedData files, and also re-installing InDesign from scratch. I still get the same error. Any idea what is happening or how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Hi!
I figured out what the issue was, finally. After playing around, I noticed that my InDesign Fonts folder, had "alias" links to some fonts that resided on that shared drive. As soon as I deleted all the ones that where aliases, the error went away. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

  • 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.

  • Network drive will not stay attached

    Buffalo tech 250 gig NAS share folder will not stay attached after the most recent update. Sometimes remote folder is available and drive is visible other times is not.

    Hi Kevin,
    " After I made the first folder available offline, the remaining folders on the network drive did not show up, only the initial folder that was made available offline."
    Will the other folders appear when we uncheck "always available offline" ? Will the other folders appear when we get into the folder directly from the windows explorer without from the mapped network drive ?Have you added any specific parameters
    in the mapped script?
    Please uncheck this setting "work online"to have a check :
    Best regards

  • Merant Driver is not available for Windows 7 to create data warehouse table

    Hi All,
    I had installed Database, OBIA, DAC and Informatica in windows 7 64 bit. Installation is successful.
    To create data warehouse tables through DAC, we need merant driver. But Merant driver is not available in windows 64bit.
    I followed the below procedue to create a merant driver.
    "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
    Executed odbcad32.exe, and I found the merant driver in the list, when i try to create DSN, I am getting the following error.
    Specified Driver could not be loaded due to system error 193: (Oracle Merant Driver in DAC 10g_Oracle-OH1635326477, c:\orahome\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\utilities\DataDirectODBC\seor820.dll).
    Can any one please provide me the solution.
    Regards,
    Kumar

    I know the docs say you must use the merant driver however did you try a normal oracle odbc connnection. I am sure i did this in the past.
    BTW I hope this is just your laptop and you are playing around. I do'nt think Windows 7 is a supported environment. You should consider a supported platform for production and maybe a virtual machine on your windows 7 machine in development so you can practice the install.

  • No Sync when network drive connected

    Hello,
    I have an ipod nano that won't sync through itunes when network drives are mapped.
    I am not trying to sync to the network drive, but just the presence of network drives stops the nano from syncing with itunes.
    As soon as I disconnect the network drives the ipod syncs with itunes fine.
    I have tried this on two different computers and the same thing happens.
    I am using Windows XP-sp2 with the latest itunes (6.0.4) and the latest updates for the ipod.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Any workarounds?
    Thank you in advance.
    Chris

    Hi win,
    See this article, in particular the bit about mapped drives and changing the drive letter. Might help.

  • Problem mounting network drive after upgrading router firmware

    Hi guys,
    It's been a while since I last posted a question of my own here, but I'm at my wits end. As I may have mentioned, I live in France, and my ISP is Free (no, not free, Free...). I've got what they call a "box" here, i.e. a sort of super-modem that will let you connect to the Internet via xDSL (and soon VDSL2), receive hundreds of TV channels, read BluRay discs, store files (videos, music, photos, what have you) on a integrated NAS, place and receive phone calls, whether via a landline (DECT) or, since recently, through a femtocell.
    All in all, the package is impressive and works flawlessly. But...
    (Of course, there had to be a "but)
    ... Yesterday, I let my "box" (it's called a Freebox Revolution, or Freebox V6--for Version 6--by the way) upgrade its firmware, reboot as it always does in such circumstances, and  since that,  the NAS won't mount in the Finder the way it used to under the Shared left pane.
    Now, every time I reboot my Mac, I have to open a browser windows and type "smb://mafreebox.freebox.fr" in order mount the NAS in the Finder. I've saved the credentials (login, no password) in the keychain, hoping it would help, but it doesn't. I've got a PC running Windows 8.1 Preview at the moment, and created a shortcut to the NAS on the Desktop. Guess what? I double-click on the shortcut, and sure enough, I can access the content of the NAS from Windows, but not from the Mac.
    I must add that I haven't changed anything on the Mac since, or before, upgrading the "box" firmware.
    Any ideas?

    OK, you must think I'm going bananas, but my issue is gone... For now...
    Seriously, what do you guys think about this problem with network drives mounting or not, depending on, I don't know, the weather, maybe?

  • HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Hi,
    I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date.  All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue.  If that doesn't work, let me know.
    I am a printer tech for HP.

    I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

  • I want to forget a network, but the "forget this network" option is not available.  What do I need to do to get this option to show?

    The "forget this network" option is not available on my iPod touch, can someone tell me what I need to do to have that option show.
    Thanks :-)

    You must be connected to the network you wish to forget. If you are, head to Settings -> Wi-fi and click the > next to the network you are currently connected to.  At the top of the next screen is the button to "Forget this Network."

  • Time Machine - using multiple drives when the first is not available

    Hello I have been succussfully using Time Machine with my USB external drive. I have been connecting it to my MacBook Air from time to time. Manual backups as well as the hourly backups when the drive has been connected worked without any problem.
    Recently, I connected Synology DiskStation (NAS) to my network and I have added it to the list of drives in my Time Machine setup. When my original external drive (first in the list) is not connected to my MacBook  the hourly backup is not initiated by the Time Machine at all. Manually started backup is runnign fine without any problem.
    The external drive is annotated with exclamation mark in Time Machines list with "not available" error - and it seems that this is causing the interruption of automatic hourly backup to any drive.
    Is there any way how to debug Time Machine? Or to get some logs of Time Machine?
    Any similar experience with multiple drive backup when the first of them is disconnected most of the time...?
    Thanks a lot for any help
    Petr

    Perhaps you should address this to Synology's tech support. Apple doesn't provide any support for third-party NAS, so your best bet is with Synology.
