Search network drive for large files

Our network drives are getting full. I used to be able to use Find File to find files larger than a certain size. I hit command-F for finding the file, have it set to search the volume I want for files with size greater than 80 MB, but when I hit return to start the search nothing happens--no spinning arrow showing that it's "thinking". I don't want to specify anything in the window with the magnifying glass, since I don't know file names. Any suggestions, or is this just something that you can't do with 10.4.8 (the version on my machine at work)?

Never mind. I found out that if I add specific folders I want to search inside, it works. It just doesn't want to search the volume.

  • Powershell script to search a network drive for .mdb files and export them to CSV file

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to search one of our network drives for old .mdb files, I want to write the name, location and date last modified to a csv file.
    Get-WmiObject -Class CIM_DataFile -Filter "Drive='S:' And Extension='mdb'
     AND ObjFile.drive
     AND objFile.FileName
     AND objFile.FileSize
     AND objFile.LastWriteTime" |
    Export-CSV c:\mdb_search\mdbfiles.csv\
    Obviously this isn't working or I wouldn't be posting.  I've tried many different examples from the net with no joy for now.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Thanks, that did the job.
    Cheers, you're welcome.
    How do I get the powershell cursor to return to C:> ?
    Should I use "exit" or "break" ?
    Neither, the console will return to a prompt when the search has been completed.

  • Which format on a flash drive for large files for use by Mac and PC

    I need to copy large files (9GB of movie file exported from iMovie of school graduation) onto 16GB flash drives so they can be used by school parents who may have Mac, PC or even TV.
    My first attempt says the files are too large.
    A lot of googling tells me this is a recognised problem but I am confursed by which advice to take.
    I am on a 2012 iMac running OSX version 10.7.4.
    Do I need to download some software to run NTFS.  It all sounds so confusing!
    I ended up in this predicament because the quality of my photo slideshows I copied to my DVD-R was so bad.  Thought a flash drive would be easy. Ha, not at all.
    Please answer in laymans terms - I could barely follow some of the advice I found.....

    Format the flash drives with Disk Utility in ExFAT format.

  • Search network directory for file JS CS3

    I need to enhance a javascript that I created a while back, by adding the functionality to search a network drive for files.
    I have been able to test for file exists on one of the volumes, but the other volume hasn't got the same stucture and needs a recursive search that drills down directories. and then back out to start the next set of folders.
    Has anyone had call to do this themselves, and if so, could you please point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks

    Thanks for that Mark.
    Every time I searched I didn't include 'recursive' and ended up with loads of discussions to choose from - yet I used the word in my question. I'm obviously working too hard!
    Problem solved now, many thanks.

  • Search c:\ drive and return file path for winword.exe and save as variable

    Hi all, here is what I'm trying to do;
    1. Search C:\ drive for winword.exe
    2. take the file path and save it as a variable.
    3. Then based on the path value, use the switch statement to run "some command" 
    Essentially I'm trying to find what the file path for winword.exe is, then run a command to modify the registry.  I already have the script that will modify the registry like I want but the problem it, the path is hard coded in the script, I want to
    now look for all versions of word and set the right file path so I can make the right registry changes.

    This should get you started:

  • Using external hard drive on a Time Capsule as a network drive for PCs.

    I own a Macbook Air and am using a 2TB Time Capsule router. I am currently using for automatic backups for my Macbook Air.
    I also own 2 PC laptops for the rest of the family. Would it be possible to use an external hard drive connected to the USB port of the Time Capsule as a network drive for the PCs? I want to share files between the two PCs.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that.. although it is not necessarily as straight forward as you might think it should be.
    1. The TC has to be running SMB compatible names. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    2. The disk must be formatted to file system the TC can read. HFS+ or Fat32.. but the HFS+ is vastly superior.. the actual format is irrelevant from sharing point of view as it is still shared via SMB to the network.
    3. It is slow.. half the speed of the same drive plugged into your computer.. although if the connection is over wireless that is probably irrelevant.
    4. You might need a powered hub to get the drive to work.. Apple underpower the USB.. and even a powered disk still won't work.
    5. There are some issues with the TC getting the USB drive to work.. too many factors to say you will have issues or not.. but be aware this is not as straight forward as it could be. or should be.
    6. If you want to share files.. you can always share them directly.. pc to pc or pc to mac.. there is no necessity to do it via a network store.. You can also use the 2TB internal drive.. create a disk image and you can then store you data in that. Internal drive is much more reliable and faster.

  • Unable to map master page gallery as network drive for migrated sitecollection

    Hi all,
    I am unable to map the masterpage gallery as network drive for design manager for a migrated site.
    This is a windows 2008 server r2 OS. Desktop experience in installed.
    I am able to map the master page gallery as network drive for two other site collections which is not migrated.
    But for the current migrated sitecollection, it throws the familiar error that it is unable to connect.... I already tried unistalling and reinstalling desktop experience.
    Kindly help.

    Hi sanjuv,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you can't map master page gallery in network drive for certain migrated site collection.
    If you can open the master gallery with explorer, it means the master page gallery really exists. I suggest you check if the path is valid in the network drive. You can find the detailed path information with the articles below:
    1.On the site for which you are creating a design, start Design Manager. (For example, on the Settings menu, choose Design Manager.)
    2.In the numbered list, select Upload Design Files.
    3.The Design Manager: Upload Design Files page contains the location of the Master Page Gallery. The location probably ends in /_catalogs/masterpage/. This is the location to which you will map a network drive.
    4.Make a note of the location of the Master Page Gallery, or copy it to the Clipboard.
    Here is a detailed article for your reference:
    Map a network drive to the SharePoint 2013 Master Page Gallery
    If the issue still exists , I suggest you can check the link below to troubleshooting the connection error with Network drive. You can try to install the kb of IE10 below to test if it works.

  • MOVED: Cant load networking driver for neo 2 plat

    Cant load networking driver for neo 2 plat

    1. Put your Windows CD in the drive.
    2. Select Install Windows.
    3. Let install continue.
    4. After the first restart, you will see something about Recovery Console.  Do NOT select this option.  Just let setup continue.
    5. You will soon see a message "searching for existing Windows installation".
    6. Soon after, you will be given the option to REPAIR that installation or make a new installation.
    7. Select REPAIR.
    8. Just keep going.
    That's it.  Hopefully things will be just fine after the repair is done.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

    Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

    Yes, if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you may need use a powered USB hub with the 4 TB drive...even if it has its own power supply.

  • Thumbnails for large files

    OK..so now I've learned that for my large panorama filesI wont get a thumbnail in the Organizer. Just some Blue Triangle warning with a exclamation point. I do allot of golf course work where I stitch phototos and print 38 x 11 inches @ 300dpi.
    So whats the work around? Is this a problem in the Bid Photoshop program? Sure I can....copy the file...reduce the resolution..save it with a different name..etc.
    What the heck!  You can't tell me that the program writers at Adobe can make this work for large files!  Why the limit?  By the way...what is the limit?
    Thanks

  • Why can't use thunderbolt drive for Cloud files folder?

    why can't I use thunderbolt drive for Cloud files folder?  It's too big for my limited laptop storage.
    Thanks

    Because sync requires to use persistent storage locations. This is out of Adobe's control. It is entirely up to the hardware vendor how he anchors the drive/ volume and integrates it into the file and folder structure.

    Thanks so long.
    acroread renders the pages very fast. That's what i want - but it's proprietary:/
    For the moment it's ok but i'd like to have a free alternative to acroread that shows the pages as quick as acroread or preloads more than 1 page.
