PSE 7 Downloader won't store photos on network drive

I'm running PSE7 on a Windows XP Media Center SP2 machine. Both my PSE catalog and my actual image files are located on a drive mounted as drive letter P: from a NAS device. This configuration worked great in PSE5. PSE7 doesn't seem to have any trouble working with the catalog on this drive, nor does it have a problem opening existing photos from folders on this drive. However, when I try to specify my P: drive as the "Save Files In" destination on the PSE7 Camera or Card Reader Preferences dialog, it tells me "Cannot write to specified directory", and won't let me choose it. Write permission on the mapped drive is wide open, and if I open a file in the PSE7 editor and try to save it somewhere on the P: drive it works just fine. How do I convince the downloader that P: is an acceptable place for it to put the downloaded files?
Thanks,
Tim

I tried changing the download destination in the Photo Downloader window, with the same results: "Cannot write to specified directory".
I notice that even though I've configured the NAS device to allow wide open read/write access to the folder in question, and all Windows users are in fact able to read/write files in that folder, when I check the permissions for the network folder from the Properties | Security tab, none of those Windows users appear to have write permission. Perhaps this is just due to the way the permissions assigned by my non-Windows NAS device are represented in Windows, but I wonder whether PSE 7 is looking at those same settings and using them to decide the folder's not available for downloading. I suspect that if I were attempting to specify a folder shared from another Windows box, I wouldn't have this problem, although I don't have a good way to test this at the moment...

Syncing photos from network drive

all my photos are stored on a network drive and itunes successfully syncs all photos from this drive to my iphone. however, the next time i turn on my computer and re-sync, i see from the photos tab that the location of my photos has been changed to the iphotos library, which i don't use.
this may be happening because i run itunes so soon after booting that the computer hasn't had the chance to find the network drive yet. and that's fine. but if i re-select the source of photos to the same network drive, itunes insists that it is a different library than on my iphone and wants to sync all the photos from scratch.
is there a way to indicate that this is the same source and not a new source?

Same results here... I have an Infrant ReadyNAS RAID file server that I bought to be my 'master' vault for all my data. My computers don't store any important data locally. Their "My Documents" shortcuts point to the fileserver.
When I tried to sync Apple TV to the My Pictures folder, iTunes would think for a few seconds and then give me the little exclaimation mark inside the triangle instead of the synching icon, and would go no further.
I was occasioanlly able to sync very small picture subfolders from under "My Pictures", but that was it.
Since I don't plan on moving the master copies of my photos off of the fileserver, I am just going to use a batch file to periodically mirror the x:\mypictures folder to c:\appletvsuckspicturemirror. Then I'll just set up Apple TC to go get the photos there instead.
robocopy "x:\my_documents\mypictures" c:\appletvsuckspicturemirror /e
I use robocopy for lots of other stuff because it only copies new or modified files (it's a free microsoft utility)

IMovie won't open unless a network drive is available

When iMovie opens, it shows my iPhoto library in the Events library pane, which is fine, but my iPhoto library is on a network drive. So when I'm NOT attached to my network, iMovie won't open.
I just get the spinner and then eventually I have to crash it.
I'm assuming it's because it can't find the iPhoto library... but, shouldn't it just give up after a while and go ahead an launch?
-brandon

Possible workaround...
1. Create a local iPhoto Library - to do this open iPhoto while holding down the Option key. Give it a unique name and save it somewhere.
2. When you are not connected to your home network, open iPhoto with the Option key held down, and select your new local Library. Then open iMovie.
iPhoto remembers the last Library open, so as you move in and out of your home network you will need to change the iPhoto Library (following step 2 above) based on your location.
hope this helps,

Would you know if there's a way to mimic Deski
document from BOXI server(CMS) to local machine, pass parameter, execute and
save in a mutiple report format then store in a local drive or network
drive? Most examples and tutorials in BO XI R2 I've seen are scheduling while drilling report is for web intelligence only and not desktop intelligence. Please let me know your ideas. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the reply.The file is not available in the server. Though, I checked CMS and I found an instance in history tab and the status is failed with error below.
Error Message:
A variable prevented the data provider Query 1 with BANRRD30 from being refreshed. (DMA0008).When I checked my codes, I found out that the object Im using is for web intelligence data provider. However, I cannot find any documentation and example for passing parameter values in desktop intelligence data provider. Any idea on this? You think this is not suported by Report Engine SDK?Thanks.

My iMac won't connect to my network drive

I have a Buffalo network drive on my network. It is already connected to my PC laptops. I have installed the necessary software, but it will connect through the finder, but it will not go further than the "share" folder. I have pictures and iTunes music I would like to move over to my Western Digital drive that will be solely used for my Mac...what can I do? I have Mac OS X 10.7.3

Hi Eric,
Parallels is probably just an update, but it runs very slowly anyway so the major thing is getting the WD to connect. I can't see it in Finder, it won't see it on the network, it's like it's not physically there. All other Mac's (some newer, mine is a 2010 model) in the office can connect as before.
Thanks for all help!

Give Chronosync a go - have been using for over a year and it works great; if you like Syncback you'll like this app.

Installing Actions in PSE 9 Downloaded from App Store

Hi everyone,
I'm seeing quite a few folks who downloaded PSE 9 from Mac's app store that can't install actions into PSE. I've connected to their computers, unhid hidden folders, and looked for the navigation path I would have expected. That doesn't work. I ran searches for the native Elements actions like Blizzard and couldn't find them.
Nothing works. Any ideas?
At first I thought this was a Lion issue, but it appears that the App Store is the common theme. I know the App Store version doesn't have the Organizer, but I was under the impressions that it was the same other than that.
Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks so much for your time!
I've seen it on Lion - a brand new install on a brand new computer and I've seen it on 10.6.7, which is not, I think, Lion.
Mtstuner, I tried all but one of the suggestions on those links you sent. Even revealling the hidden files in the Library didn't do it. But I'll try the last suggestion regardless. If I could just find where Blizzard and the other native ATNs are stored, I'd be good.
I even tried that scary typing in the Mac terminal thing. Never have done that before. It did reveal hidden files, but not the ones I'm looking for.
I think it has something to do with the App version. Without the Organizer, I would expect the file structure to be different. However, I wouldn't expect it to be so different that I can't find the files anywhere. I've been able to find them on a million (or so) different computers/versions of PSE/operating systems. But this is the first time I've ever tried on an App.
I'm going to reconnect with one of these folks who is having issues tomorrow to see if there is anything else I can try. I'll report back if I get any more helpful info. I'm leaving on a vacation tonight, but this has really picqued my curiosity!
Thanks again for the help!

Trouble importing large number of photos from network drive

I just purchased my first Mac. I have attempted to import my photo library from my NAS device. Iphoto takes hours to perform this import. In fact after 2 days of watching it crunch, I terminated the import.
I can see and open the photos from the iMac. I disabled AirPort and starting using ethernet just in case the wireless network wasn't fast enough to download all the photos.
There are about 12k photos (12G) to import.
I don't understand what the problem could be. I never had this problem with a PC & Adobe PhotoAlbum.
I will appreciate any help.

guadman:
As you found Airport is not fast enough for that kind of massive file transfer and you might have run into a ownership/permissions issues with a direct import from a NAS device. I suggest you copy the folders of files onto your desktop first. The download and run BatChmod on the foldesr with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Then import those folders into iPhoto. That should be successful.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

OSX 10.6.7 copy photo to network drive very slow preparing file

I want copy photo to folder ID Photo Server 2011 on NAS ***(folder ID Photo Server 2011 have photo about 3000 pic.) When I drag file to ID Photo Server 2011 it preparing file very slow.

I am having the same problem. It just started a week ago. I'm a photographer. I would take a data card full of photos and copy them to a folder on my desktop. I always make sure the file volumes match after the transfer is complete. Then after I eject the compact flash drive, I check the file volume again on the desktop folder before I reformat the flash drive.
In this case when I went back 24 hours later the folders were emissing files or totally empty. I just lost two days of event shooting and I'm going to have some really ****** off customers if I can't retrieve the files. There are roughly 700 digital photo files that are just gone. I don't even know the exact file names because I delete some images as I shoot.
Is there any way to see if these files are still on the drive and just missing their file names?

Can't download images to a network drive

EOS Rebel T2i directly connected to a PC running Windows XP. The PC shows it is connected to the camera as well as our network drive. The preferences are set to download each picture taken to the network drive. This has been the case for a couple of years and it works just fine. Now out of the blue it stopped working. There is a message "No more shot is available". If we change the setting to putting the image on the desktop then it works fine. The network drive has 30TB free space so it is nowhere near being full. We have tried going to other network drives but get the same result.

What OS runs your network server? Does the XP machine control an external drive or do you have a server machine running another OS that the XP is saving to? You may need to double check your XP "allowed" programs on your firewall settings. You haven't elaborated on what network changes occured. I'm not referring to the specific details but if permissions have changed on the network server, they may prevent you from saving the files or it is a "read-only" directory now. You may need to contact your systems admin to look up these details for you. Let us know what's going on, you got me curious

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

I recently upgraded my 4s to a 5s. the verizon store took my old phone for a trade in. i cannot get any of my pictures to download from icloud. my photo stream folder only has a small percentage of the photos in it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them. I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

Can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop

can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop

If you mean by using photo stream, you can but iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days. You will need to download them to your Mac during this 30 day window or they will no longer be available.
Or, just leave the photos in the camera roll on your iPad until you return, then import them to iPHoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
