Searching files on Windows 7 share

I was able to find files on my Windows 7 share but after upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard the feature doesn't work. I can still find files on iDisk and the local hard disk. I can get file listings and view files from that share but not find them. I am not seeing errors in the system or application log of the event viewer of the Windows server. Thanks!

The items are saved in:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

  • Windows 7 - Files missing from network share after trying to burn and no data cached to be burned

    I ran into an issue trying to burn some file from a network share using Windows 7 Home Professional.  I was trying to burn some .jpg files from a mapped network share drive using explorer.  Every time I would drag the files to be burned from
    the share drive to the explorer screen to be burned, the files would disappear from the share.  To make things worse the files would not show up in the screen to be burned.  I was unable to locate any of the files on either of the systems when performing
    a search after this took place.  I verified that the steps that I was taking to burn the files were the same as outlined on the Microsoft site.  No matter what I did to burn these files, they were deleted from the mapped network drive. 
    Below are the steps that I took that both resulted in the files being deleted as well as what I had to do to finally burn the disc.
    Steps that resulted in files being deleted:
    1. Insert blank CD into drive. 
    2. From prompt select burn using explorer (Mastered Format)
    3. Enter title and select with CD/DVD, click Next.
    4. Open a second explorer window, navigate to mapped network drive with files to be burned and snap next to explorer to be burned.
    5. Drag and drop the files from the share drive to CD.
    This where the train would fall off the tracks every time.  I would receive a message that the file(s) no longer exist and if I wanted to continue.  From here the files would be deleted from the share drive.  The best part is that the files
    would also NOT be locally stored to be burned. 
    Steps to burn share files WITHOUT delete:
    Follow steps outlined above, but instead of just dragging and dropping the files as outlined in step 5 select the files from the network share location, right mouse select copy.  Then right mouse select paste in the explorer window to be burned.
    I have tested this many times and every time ended up with the same problem.  At this point I am sure that there is a problem with the way that Windows 7 is performing the burn.  The system that I was using to burn is Windows 7 Home Professional
    with all the patches and updates loaded.  The remote system is Windows XP Professional with all the patches and updates loaded.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, the problem is still continuing. However, after looking into as much of it as I can, I can confirm something that r.p.b_ started stumbling on. The files are deleted IF AND ONLY IF a user is using the built-in Windows 7 disc burning utility AND is dragging
    and dropping the files to the drive from a network share; this doesn't happen locally. If you watch what happens in the native folder, the files are literally scrubbed from the drive as they are processed and added to the image. However, if you Right Click
    on the files and copy them, then Right Click->Paste onto the drive, they remain. (The keyboard shortcuts also worked.) Also, 3rd party disc burning utilities function they way the should. (In other words, they don't delete the files.)
    My speculation is that there's a bug in the coding that sees the network share as a temporary buffer file while the image is being prepared. Then, as the files are processed in what ever way is needed, the "temporary buffer" is being deleted. The result:
    lost files on a network share. But, this is just speculation.

  • Importing text file into search and redact window.

    I am in the search window under the search and redact tool.  I
    am trying to import a file that was originally an excel to populate the
    search multiple words window.  I read that text files can be imported.  I saved the file as a text file but it does not import.  I can import an adobe file but this gives me a list with a bunch of junk.  What am I missing?

    The dialog imports text files.
    Make sure that the file you are importing is a text file and has one word in every line.

    If you mean just moving files between a Mac and a PC with XP on it, get a USB flash drive, format it FAT32 (they usually come that way) and copy the files to that drive.

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

  • In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

    Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard.  I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964,"  in the search field.  First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons.  Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music.  When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

  • Cannot search PDF file contents - Windows 7 32 bit - Adobe Acrobat X

    Hello,
    If this is in the wrong forum please move it.
    I work in an enterprise environment and our systems are having trouble searching file contents in Windows Explorer using Acrobat X and Windows 7 32 bit. The files are on a mapped network location.
    After removing all adobe products from a test machine and reinstalling the Acrobat 10.0.0 software the windows explorer search function seems to work locally but once I install Acrobat 10.1.anything update, it will fail. It never worked on a networked location.
    I have also tried installing Adobe Acrobat 11.0.00 after removing 10.0. Then I made sure my indexing settings were setup to index files and contents and made sure the .pdf extension was selected under file types.
    I then created a mapped drive to the network location, and setup my indexing to the folder on that network drive. I was able to do this by installing this Microsoft Add-in that allows use of UNC paths in the indexing.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=3383
    Once I set this up, I rebuilt my index and restarted the computer. This is where it gets weird. I can now search the contents of PDF files in this indexed network location, but only by one letter. Searching "c type:pdf" will produce results, but "co type:pdf" will not. I know for sure some of the documents have the work Comment in there so this should should up.
    Does anyone have experience getting this to work correctly with the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat X or XI and Windows 7 32 bit? It would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I will never understand why but in the end I rebuilt my 32 bit dell laptop from scratch and the pdf files can now be searched.
    I cannot search them on a mapped drive as I was able to with Windows XP because now they must be indexed and windows 7 will seems not to allow a mapped location to be indexed which must be done to make the pdf files searchable so I have had to move the files to the local drive.
    My Windows 7 64 bit systems can search the mapped drives just fine without needing to be indexed. Again I will never understand why this works and the 32 bit machine does not.

  • Mac user locks files for Windows users on NFS shares

    Hi Everyone,
    We run a mostly Windows environment here at my school and have two AD servers which also do our file shares for AD users. Every user has a network drive mapped to L on Windows, and this is mounted on the dock of our Mac users (all Macs are bound to the AD for auth and the OD for management). We also have shared folders for different groups of people, such as admissions or art (where the issue is). Most of these divisions are only Windows, so file sharing isn't and issue - but this is not the case in our Art department.
    We have a shared folder (T on Windows) setup for users of the Art department with mostly Office docs in it. Windows users can write to the share just fine, just as the Mac users can. The issue comes up once a Mac user edits and saves the file (all to the share) - Windows users are now locked out of the file because the permissions are reset. What can we do to fix this issue? It's obnoxious having to go and reset the permissions after every edit from a Mac user.
    Thanks,
    -MRCUR

    We also have that same problem. We don't actually solved the issue but we what we do did is just unlock the files once and even they are edited or opened in windows or mac, it does not lock the file. We use windows pc and connect to the drives and just simply right clicking the file then properties a button will show in the properties window saying "unlock". After we did that, those files was never locked out again.

  • Windows samba share shows "zero KB" for file size....

    Upgraded, clean install, to leopard and now I see "Zero KB" for file size on my Windows Home Server samba shares. Before the upgrade all that info was displayed but afterwards that info is gone. The only changed on my network was upgrading to Leopard. My linux samba server still works perfectly with 10.5 but the windows samba shares are not. I can browse, mount and copy files to and from the windows samba shares but the file size info isn't displayed. The file size isn't even displayed when I "Get Info" on a file. Previously using 10.4 all was working perfectly and all info was displayed and or was available if I wanted it. Not sure if it is something to do with how Windows Home Server handles samba or if it is how Leopard handles windows samba shares. No settings were changed on my network from when I was running 10.4. The only change on my home network/hardware has been upgrading to Leopard! No other changes were made to any servers or computers that were previously working perfectly with 10.4. Other than this "Zero KB" issue all has gone quite smoothly.

    I removed the . (and moved the directory to match) but I still have the same issue.

  • How to search files on a windows configured external hard disk on macbook air

    I am trying to search files on my passport Ultra Western Digital, which is configured for windows and has read only permissions for my macbook air, i am unable to instant search results through finder or spotlight. Is there a way to search them?

    Well, to clarify:
    I want to find all user text files and mail messages on a Time Machine backup disk that contain the word "escalator".
    By user files I mean those in
    /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/<username>iMac/*/Macintosh HD/Users
    and subdirectories thereof.
    I was trying to use the find command, but it was taking a very long time, so I aborted it. I then realized that most of the files have many hard links, and therefore will be searched many times. That, of course, is a great waste.
    Is there some way to search each file only once?
    Thanks.

  • When creating file in Windows on a mac share, owner is 'nobody'

    Hi,
    I'm running windows 7 and are working on a OS 10.6 share (share1) that I'm connected to. I can view/edit files but when i create a file on windows on share1 the ownership on the mac becomes 'nodody'(r/w), 'staff'(r), 'everyone'(r).
    To continue working with this file, I have to manually change the ownership on my mac back to 'pippin'(r/w),'staff'(r/w),'everyone'(r/w).
    Both computers are plugged in to a domain (my.domain.com) and the folders on the mac are shared as 'pippin'(r/w),'everyone'(r/w)
    What can i do, to have Mac OS register the ownership properly whenever i create files?
    The problem is similar to the problem described in this post, but the solution offered doesn't help in this situation.

  • How to locate .exe file in pc harddisk programatically using labview same as search option in Windows.

    Hi,
    I want locate a file which is a third party exe file.
    For this purpose i should know programatically how many drives are present on the PC Hard Disk.
    I made a VI to fetch the information about how many drives or partitions are present on the harddisk.
    I am able to find that information and are able to locate each & every folder available on each drive.
    But i am not able to that function in LabvIEW which can solve my problem and search for that .exe file for its existance on the PC disk.
    THe idea is same as the search files and folders option in windows.  
    Can anybody help me in this problem.
    Samriddh Sarbalhi 

    Use the "recursive file list.vi" under the "file io->Advanced file options" pallete.
    wire "*.exe" to locate all the vailable exe to the "pattern" control of this vi
