"Save" not working on network drives in Lion?

Hey everyone. Ran into an odd issue yesterday.
We have a user at one of our graphics locations that recently upgraded to a new iMac with 10.7 since her old machine died. They have multiple network drives that they use. These are windows 2003 R2 servers.
On 10.6 if they had a PDF open in Acrobat or a Quark job open (one that they opened from the server)... they could just do a command + s and save the file to the same location. Now, when they do a command + s it brings up the save as window and they have to navigate back to the folder where the original file was stored. In some instances, there are so many jobs and multiple versions of the job for a customer, that can take a long time to navigate back.
Is there a quick setting to turn this off or is this something new that was implemented in 10.7 that they need to deal with?

I'm afraid you hit it on the head. This is indeed one of the "new features" in the Lion version of OS X. I do not personally know of a workaround for this.
Hope this helps

ITunes will not work on network drive Error (-54)

Greetings.
I recently got the new 27" iMac, and am converting my old Mac Pro 2009 to a "server."
On my Mac Pro, I had my iTunes folder on a separate drive, which was formatted exFAT. This was done specifically because I work cross-platform. So "Drive A" was my OSX Boot drive, "Drive B" was my Windows 7 Bootcamp drive, "Drive C" was my exFAT shard data drive and "Drive D" was Time Machine. The goal was, and is, to be able to use iTunes cross-platform without having to manage separate libraries.
Now, I would like to connect my iMac's iTunes (Mac side) to "Drive C," but I keep getting an error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). At first I thought it was due to the fact that the Mac Pro kept going to sleep, so I changed the setting. That didn't work. I then checked permissions - and the permissions give my iMac read-write permission, so that *shouldn't* be the issue. I can write to the network drive just fine.
The issue can't be connectivity, because I am using ethernet, not wifi to connect the drives.
I cannot use target disk mode, because "Drive C" is not a boot drive.
So I need to know why iTunes cannot now write the Library file when permissions should be fine, it never had a problem with exFAT formatting in the last year I had that configuration and what can I do now to get iTunes to work over a network.
Both versions of iTunes are current.
The only remaining variable I can possibly think of is that the Mac Pro is using the latest version of Lion and not MacOSX Server.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

ICloud for pages app not working on network users having home folder on Mac Mini Lion server

Does anyone know how to make iCloud for pages work on network users having home folder on server, having home folder on local Client iCloud for Pages works fine but when home folder is on Server iCloud for Pages app does not work. My Clients are Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, my Server is a Mac Mini Lion Server.

Hi Tim,
No fix yet, my home folders reside on a thunderbolt external hard drive, I also tested having home folders on default server HD and no changes, I called Apple Support a while ago, they replicated the issue, it just does not work on network users, they did not say when will it be fix.
The version of Pages I am using is from the Apple Store.

Could not reconnect all network drives

I have several drives mapped on different Windows 7 boxes in my office. Just about every time I boot up one of these systems I receive the message "Could not reconnect all network drives" in the system tray.
I should note that merely clicking the drive inside Windows Explorer will restore the connection. I store the server logon credentials in Control Panel / Credential Manager then just map the network paths to drive letters. I'm pretty sure the
problem doesn't stem from any credentials type of problem though, because I have the exact same situation when connecting to only open shares. I have noticed that a couple applications will restore the connection themselves when trying to access information
on a share. Most applications however will give an error and time out trying to access the shares unless I go and manually click each drive letter in Explorer. For instance if I place Firefox bookmarks on a share and open Firefox, Firefox will
display no bookmarks until I click the drive in Explorer and reopen Firefox.
One thing I can do to fix the problem is hard code my IP address. I never receive the message if a computer has fixed IP address. My router hands out IPs on the LAN dynamically, so I switch it to another router and tried a using a Linux based dhcp-server
as well. Neither fixed the problem.
I'm a long time user of batch files and realize I could place use one as a band aid for this issue, but I don't want to go that route.

Hello marstech,
According to the research, the mapped drive lost issue may be caused by the several possible reasons:
Possible reason1. The problematic client doesn't reconnect to the target share at logon.
Please follow the steps to re-configure the mapped driver on the client and then check if the issue will re-occur.
Steps:
a. Open "My Computer"
b. Click on "Tools" and then select "Map Network Driver"
c. input the \\ipaddressofserver\sharename to give the path of the share
d. Check "Reconnect at logon"
e. Drive gets mapped
f. Double click on the drive to check.
Possible Reason 2. Antivirus software or Windows Firewall may block the SMB protocol on clients.
Please check if there is any Antivirus software and the Windows Firewall is enabled on the problematic client. If so, please disable them to check if the issue can be resolved.
Possible Reason3. Fast Logon Optimization is enabled on the clients.
The fast logon feature may affect the display and drive letter assignment of a mapped network drive. As a result, the drive may have been mapped; however, the user on client cannot see it in Windows Explorer. He may recognize it as a failed network drive mapping.
This is the reason why we usually suggest you to disable fast logon on the clients via a GPO, and please check if the mapped network drive will be occur under this circumstance.
Please also configure the following group policy setting to disable Fast Logon Optimization to see if the issue still exists on the problematic clients.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
When this policy is enabled, a Windows XP client behaves in the same manner as a Windows 2000 client at both system startup and at user logon.
Please note: As this is a computer configuration, please run "Gpupdate /force" and then reboot the problematic clients to make it take into effect.
For more information about Fast Logon Optimization feature, please check the following KB article.
305293 Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=305293
831998 Mapped network drive shows no drive letter or will not allow you to create new long-named files or folders
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831998
297684 Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684
If the issue still exists on the problematic clients, please also try adding the following registry subkey on the problematic client to check it works.
Steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
b. Locate and click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
c. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
d. Type SilentForcedAutoReconnect , and then press ENTER to name the value.
e. Double-click SilentForcedAutoReconnect .
f. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any concen.
Hope the information can be helpful for you.

Hi,
Is there any error message throwed when you reconnect the mapped drive? Can you directly access the UNC path of the mapped drive? What VPN programs do you use? Please check if the VPN client connect correctly.
You could refer to the thread below to check if the AD account is restricted by VPN.

Hi,
How did you map the network drive? Manually via GUI? Command? GPP? If you're using one of the above solutions, then try other solutions as a alternative way to check the result.
According to your description, If Windows remains unable to reconnect mapped Network Drive at login, then I would suggest you created a batch file with net use command, use it as an logon script, this provides an alternate way to reconnect drives on
a re-logon.
example
@echo off
net use * /delete /yes
net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name

Photoshop CS6 is not showing any network drives within windows 8.1.

Photoshop CS6 is not showing any network drives within windows 8.1, I can only browse the local disk for files. Please advise?
And when i try opening a file directly from the network, photoshop starts but does not open the selected file?

The dialog you show there looks like it may be a CS6 open dialog running on windows 8.1 that is showing what is local. Network is not highlighted selected.
Here is a CC Open one windows 7 pro showing areas of what is accessible.

Workstation not mapping any network drives

Im having an issue with different workstation not mapping any network drives. The issue to would seem totally random. Each time is over a wired connection. I havent been able to find a TID about this. The issue also just seems to have started, however no changes have been made to any of the workstations Ive seen this on. The errors I get in the login script are below. The servers are all NetWare 6.5SP7. Suggestions?

Basic network connectivity issue. One known common culprit for this
error is a workstation firewall, but the raw symptom just means that
unexpected network connectivity problems occured.

TM works with network drives?

Just to be sure - TM works with directly attached drives. But does it also work with network drives? I hope it does at least with Apples newest update.
Thanks
Andreas

There is plenty of documentation/discussion of a workaround that let's you make your computer recognize unsupported drives. Search for it using words like terminal network unsupported drive backup and you will find it. Some people say it works fine, and others caution against using it. I haven't seen a thorough discussion that really explains why Apple doesn't allow it, or why it's risky, or why it works, but that's typical of the boards that attract a techie crowd. Me? After spending $650 for a Terastation, I'm going to give it a try. Apple wants so badly for Windows users to switch to Mac, but they sometimes seem to make it very difficult and frustrating for us.
