Screen save is looking for a network drive that no longer exists

I am on OS X 10.10.3 (though this issue started with 10.10.2)
When I go to Desktop and ScreenSave preferences I get a message stating 'There was a problem connecting to the server "familyserver"'.  This isn't a surprise since that machine is no longer on the network (it was a Windows home server).  If I click OK the dialog reappears in a couple of seconds. 
In the screen saver preview it says "loading photos.." and for the source it states: "Loading..."
However I can't change the source - the only option in the drop down is "loading"
Anyone know how to fix this so I can change the source to a local drive?
Cheers
Ian

  • LightSwitch is still looking for an entity property that no longer exists in any project file. How and why?

    I recently performed an across-the-board rename in my LightSwitch application and development database. (No worries, always backups.) I know that directly editing the .lsml files (Client.lsml, Common.lsml, Server.lsml) isn't supported - you must be careful.
    That said I've been able to use find and replace within these files with great success for simple refactoring ... until now.
    I renamed "WcsNum" on my Job entity to "JobNum".
    I have a data grid whose entities include a relationship to "Job" and display a couple of Job's properties, all very typical. Now whenever I open the screen with the data grid and it's populated with one or more entities that have a reference to a
    job, I receive this:
    The property 'WcsNum' does not exist on type 'LightSwitchApplication.Implementation.Job'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.
    The spooky thing is, the text WcsNum no longer exists anywhere in my entire project. I've used Agent Ransack to search my entire project directory including the main LightSwitch project, my WCF RIA Services project, and any related files.
    I've even exported my database schema (and data) to scripts and searched those for it -- nothing.
    I've tried "Clean Solution", as well as manually deleting every obj, bin, and GeneratedArtifacts directory in both projects. There are no remaining occurrences of this reference, I don't know where it's getting it from.
    I also tried deleting the settings from %UserProfile%\Documents\Microsoft\LightSwitch\Settings, which I regularly clear anyway to discard manual column sizes.
    As I'm typing this I'm searching the contents of every file on my entire computer for "WcsNum", in case there's some other local cache that needs cleared. Feasible with a solid state drive.
    If I can't find it this way, it must be stored differently, or within a binary format that Agent Ransack doesn't recognize as ANSI/Unicode.

    For the first question, in Solution Explorer, you'll find a folder under the LightSwitch project called "Data Sources". But here's the bit you might be missing. You have to switch to back to
    Logical View, if for some reason you've switched to File View. You won't see the data sources if you're in
    File View. And seeing as you've got Luminous Tools installed, if you have made the toolbar visible, then you have a button to do it all for you "Show Data Sources". Then you simply right-click the data source that is your RIA
    Service, then select Update Data Source. I hope that makes it a bit clearer for you?
    As for not seeing a Rebuild Project command, you might be looking in the actual LightSwitch menu. What I've done is only put commands in there that directly relate to LightSwitch. Any others will appear in one of two groups in the context menu underneath
    the LightSwitch menu. Rebuild Solution, Rebuild Project, & Cancel Build, should all be together. If you still can't find it, let me know. Any images of what you're seeing on the screen would be very helpful for me to know what to advise you.

  • OS X keeps looking for missing network drive

    Hi there,
    I notice, I am not the first to ask the question, but is has not yet been answered and I'm a bit puzzled. I am using OS X 10.7 by now and ever since OS 10.6 I have noticed that - sometimes - finder seems to be looking for a network drive (a former time capsule) that is no longer mounted and available. Every once in a while I get the message that the drive "name" cannot be found.
    Where can I check to get rid of any references to that old drive? It must be mapped somehwere, alas, I don't know where.
    It is not in the startup items, I've checked there and there is no file sharing activated.
    Thanks in advance, Alex.

    I think this solved my problem, after having checked Console:

  • MacOS keeps looking for Deleted Network Drive

    I deleted a LaCie Network Drive and at every startup I get an error messagesaying the drive "Network Space AFP" cannot be connected. Any way to get rid of this message? I thought I deleted all the La Cie Software.

    Hi shuffleq,
    Have you checked Login Items?
    How to check:
    go to menu bar
    click on the apple menu
    chose system preferences
    click on Accounts
    if the lock in accounts is locked, click on it and type in your passwords, and click ok
    click on your account name from the list on the left
    then click on the tab labeled "Login Items"
    There may be an item in the list with the name of the drive and a folder or file that was on the drive. If your not sure witch one is it. you can try right clicking on an item in the list and choosing "show in Finder."
    if you do find a Login item that is for "Network Space AFP" click on it one time, then click on the "-" to remove it from the list.

  • I-Tunes attempts to install on a drive that no longer exists.

    When I attempt to upgrade I-Tunes, I receive an error msg that states the drive specified is invalid. (this drive no longer exists on my system) There is no msg code number.
    Any suggestions, anybody?
    Thanks.

    With one of those, there may still be registry entries on the PC pointing at the old (now non-existent) drive. The following InstallShield troubleshooting document is worth a shot:

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.

  • Looking for Mac network professional to setup our small business network.

    I've installed OS X Server on an iMac within our office to act as a file server and also allow us to access files using a VPN.  Probably should have purchased a Mac Mini Server and will likely go that route in the end. 
    I'm computer savy, but little networks experience and just can't get this working correctly. If we had more time to dedicate to this and with help from this forum, I'm sure we could get it up and running.  The goal is to get a simple network going that will allow us to access files, etc in the field and at our home offices with the ability to grow as our business expands.
    At this time I'd really like to have someone just handle the setup of the network so we can get functionality asap.  I've done some searches and looked for a network professional in our area with experience in Mac networking within a business environment, but haven't had much luck.
    If anyone point me in a direction of someone that can help get this going I'd be forever greatful:)

    I'm not a rocket scientist but I do have a working mail server and website using a mini mac and os x server (Mavericks).
    It all begins with your DNS and I recommend you do use a mac mini with OS X Server as it's designed for that very purpose. You absolutely must get your DNS situation working first. There's a guy in this forum named Mr. Hoffman who is particularly useful (there are others) in this area. He has a website with lots of helpful advice and, in particular, this: http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436.
    However, before you embark on that journey, this is what you'll basically need to do:
    You're going to need a public (external/public facing) DNS and a private (internal) DNS. Your private DNS (served by your os x server) needs to live behind some kind of hardware firewall/router to prevent the great unwashed and curious from venturing into places they probably shouldn't be venturing. It's port(s) should never be exposed to the outside world.
    Get a static IP from your ISP and register a domain name.
    Let your domain registrar provide the external DNS.
    You'll want to set up an internal DNS using OS X Server in the 10.0.0.0/16 subnet (it doesn't seem to let you use 10.0.0.0/8 and it really hates 192.168.0.0/24).
    The server itself will need to be "self-aware" by setting it's System Preferences > Network Preferences > DNS Server to 127.0.0.1.
    Of course, once you get the DNS working you'll want to turn on File Sharing and then (and only then) Open Directory. THen you can begin adding other services such as web, mail, vpn, etc...
    I'm sure there is lots more that I've missed but this should do for now. Good luck.

  • I am looking for a backup drive for my macbook pro, any suggestions?

    I have a macbook pro and I am looking for a backup drive.  There are so many out there and I would like suggestions for which one to purchase.  Thanks!

    Pretty much any drive will work, but for a laptop, you might like to get a portable drive (doesn't require that you connect it to power) with USB3. Thunderbolt drives are also available, but they're more expensive and no faster than USB3 for a single hard drive.
    I personally like the Lacie rugged series: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9377ZM/A/lacie-1tb-rugged-hard-drive-triple-u sb-30-5400-rpm?fnode=5f
    If you shop around you should be able to get it a little cheaper than Apple's prices.

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.
