Self referencing alias of shared drive

My Issue:
I'm using an iMac with freshly installed OS X Mavericks.
I can't access a shared drive from a remote MacMini anymore.
When I click on the drive, I get a self reference and thus an infinite
loop to that drive.
How I got there:
Like before in Mountain Lion, I tried to drag the shared drive into the Favorites side bar in Finder,
but that didn't work anymore (for whatever reason) in Mavericks.
I did some research and got the hint, to drag the shared drive into the ~/Library/Favorites folder.
This didn't work either, so I deleted that alias from the Favorites folder again, but since then I have
the above behaviour.
How can I delete this self-reference alias? Where is the alias-information stored?
Thanks for your help
Thomas

Problem is solved. Rebooting of both computers removed the circular reference,
however, my initial problem still exists:
I can't drag the shared remote drive to Favorites in Finder anymore.
This has worked in Mountain Lion and before, but not anymore in Mavericks.
any idea?

Self-referencing Alias Folders - repeated ad infinitum

Don't know how I've got to this but I seem to have an alias to my Applications folder within my Applications folder. When opened it reveals another and another and another ad infinitum.
It doesn't seem to be affecting normal use but it is disconcerting!
Any help much appreciated.

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome.
I have deleted the alias and this has solved the issue. Thank you.
I was just a little nervous!

Best practice: self referencing table

Hallo,
I want to load a self referencing table to my enterprise area in the dwh. I am not sure how to do this. What if a record references to another record which is inserted later in the same etl process? There is now way to sort, because it is possible that record a references to record b and record b references to record a. Disabling the fk constraint is not a good idea, because this doesn't prevent that invalid references will be loaded? I am thinking of building two mappings, one without the self referencing column and the other only with it, but that would cause approx. twice as much running time. Any other solutions?
Regards,
Torsten

Mind sharing the solution? Would be interested to hear your solution (high level).

External Shared Drive Issues

I have a brand new AirPort Extreme. I am using it with three Windows 7 computers. All are successfully receiving a wireless internet signal from it. My issue is that I want to share an external drive. Currently I have a 150GB external drive (formatted appropriately in FAT32) linked to the AE via USB, and I can see, read, write to it from the laptop on which I have the AirPort utility installed. But my other Windows 7 machines (which receive wirless internet from the AE) do not 'see' the drive at all. What am I missing? Do I need to have the Airport utility installed on all the computers in order for them to see the external shared drive? How do I connect to the drive from the other machines? Thanks!

If you want to maintain the ability to edit the projects, all moves must be done from within iMovie.
See iMovie Help for details, but in a nutshell, you can click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. Then Command-Drag the Event in the Event Library List in iMovie to the small icon for the external drive in the Event Library List in iMovie.
Another way. Drag the Project to the external drive icon, again using the Project Library List in IMovie. Then with the Project selected, click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA and make the appropriate choices. This will put Project, Events referenced by the project, Photo copies, and Music copies all on the same drive so they can be used on another Mac.
USB will work, although FW800 is faster. The bus speed is typically not the bottleneck on an HD render.

Having TC Show Up On Desktop As Shared Drive - How?

I'm using OSX 10.4.11. Is it possible to use TC as shared drive so I can transfer over my data? I cannot find a way to mount the TC or have it show up as a drive on my desktop. I've successfully added it to my network. The instructions are useless.

Hi,
I am losing my mind. I tried the "hard way" as there is no alias for Time capsule anywhere on my machine.
But when I entered the info I got "Connection Failed - The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
It then brings up another window which says "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://10.0.1.1" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
Help., What do I do now?
Thanks for any help

Dsplaying Images in apex using shared drive

Hi,
I would like to display the images on student info page.
Apex db OS: solaris
Images stored on OS: windows (shared drive)
I dont want to copy the images from windows server to solaris .Image name is same as student id for example student id:123 and image: 123.jpg
Please advise how can i do it in apex.
Regards
Harinder

Harinder:
If you are using the OHS to access APEX and if the OHS is installed on the solaris box you could create an alias named 'location' and point this to the shared drive that has the student images.Within your APEX application you can then refer to an image as
../<location>/<image_file_name>

Access to Windows Shared Drive

I've been able to access a drive that is shared on a windows PC from my PBG4 in previous instances. However, for some strange reason I simply cannot get it to work. The computer appears in the Network > server column. However, whenever I try to connect to it, I get a message that the object cannot be found. Then I try to delete the alias, and it will not let me. I've restarted the Mac and PC with no success. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Sulo28,
I finally fixed the problem with my computer. I used a “brute force” approach to fix, but it worked. I believe that the culprit of this problem where Mac computer can’t access the Windows shared drive / folder is Norton Anti-Virus program. I tried to connect to Windows machine with almost identical configuration but that did not have Norton Anti-Virus program installed. It worked just fine. So, at that point I eliminated the possibility that there was something wrong with my Mac. I tried to uninstall Norton Anti-Virus, but it wouldn’t allow me. (I kept giving me an error message that Microsoft Installer files are missing.) So, I got tired of it and decided to reformat and reinstall the Windows OS. When, I reinstalled my machine to exactly the same state it was when I had a problem, except I didn’t reinstall Norton Anti-Virus 2006. I was able to connect my Mac to it and vice versa. I would make an educated guess that you also probably have Norton Anti-Virus program installed on your system. You can try to remove it from your system, but I’m pretty sure that you will have to reinstall your full OS in order to fix this problem. Norton Anti-Virus probably modifies some necessary registry settings, and it’s beyond my skill level to figure out precisely which settings it corrupts. As you can image, I would stay away from Norton products from now on.

10.8 server shared drive graying out - then disappearing?

Hi,
Im new to the community and would really appreciate some help !!
I have installed two servers now (different hardware) macpro towers with 10.8.2 server and after a short period of time the shared drives gray out, the disapaer from the desktop.
Users can still connect across the LAN, the hardware is definately not daulty as i have swapped with new drives and rebuilt. Software was from the App's store as download.
Is this a server 10.8 bug?
Any help appreciated
tricky1234

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the reply.
Its the hard drive on the server its self that is disapearing, so when you are on the server screen the "work" hard drive (which is independant to the sysem HD) is dispappearing. This is happening on two server on two different locations and networks - all the hardware is 100% and the LAN users can still connect to the server share and copy and save.
The issue is on the server its self. The drive disappears and not even viewable in the finder - only way to access it is via "go" - "go to folder".
In disk utility the drive is there and is indicatig its mounted but its not !!!.....the server were both working fine for 2/3 weeks and the work drives were visable on desktop and fine, and in prefs the HD are set to be visable
Because its on two sites that are totaly indepndant the only common factor is both are running 10.8.2 server which indicates its a software / bug issue????
Hope that is clearer
Thanks again

Visual Studio 2005 crashes when referencing ALI 6.5 portal server API

Visual Studio 2005 crashes when referencing ALI 6.5 portal server API
We are building new portlets in .NET 2.0 to that access the ALI 6.5 server API and are experienceing the folowing scenario:
I create a brand new project in Visual Studio (2005 with SP1 on Win2k3 R2 SP2) using the ALI Portal Project template that is provided with the application accelerator 1.1. This portlet will need to perform portal server searches so I begin by adding references to the following assemblies from C:\bea\alui\ptportal\6.5\bin\assemblies:
openconfig.dll
opencounters.dll
opencache.dll
openhttp.dll
openssl.dll
opentempfile.dll
plumtreeserver.dll
ptportalobjects.dll
I then type in something like below to start up the portal server objects.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
IOKContext context = OKConfigFactory.createInstance("C:\\bea\\alui\\settings\\", "portal");
PortalObjectsFactory.Init(context);
this.Response.Write("Portal Objects Initiallized");
Some moments later Visual Studio will crash. It has happened before I have entered any code, after I have started typing code and on builds. It seems intermittent but usually occurs within a minute of interacting with this Visual Studio project. I actually managed to build once and have had success accessing this page in Explorer to validate the portal server objects are getting initialized and referenced correctly.
I thought this was a problem with my personal development environment. So I tried this on other machines: another Win2k3 ALI 6.5 dev portal server and another server with Visual Studio 2005 that I installed the 6.5 portal on just for testing this. The exact behavior listed above is occurring on three development machines here (crashing devenv.exe when portal references are made or loading a project with portal references). Since this does not seem to be isolated to a single development machine, is there any course of action that anyone would suggest to help solve this?
thanks,
Troy Rackley

It turns out that this is only a problem with Visual Studio using the ALI templates or creating any projects using the "New... Web site" functionality of 2005. I was a ble to create a C#... ASP.net Web Application project and add the references to the idk and the local portal server APIs manually without devenv.exe crashes.
So, the work around I have found if your projects needs to access both the portal server API and the remote API is to create the project with:
New... Project... Visual C#... ASP.NET Web Application
and NOT
New... Web Site... ASP.NET Web Site (or ALI Portlet Project)
Anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks.
Troy

Help adding new Macs to the household, creating shared drive for iTunes,

I have a few questions:
My husband and I recently both got MacBook Pros. Our former set-up was a iMac which backs up to a 500 G Time Capsule. We have a large iTunes library and iPhoto library on the iMac. The iMac is going to turn in to the kids computer. I would like to do the following:
1. transfer photos to my MBP (#1). Will the Time Machine backup for the iMac become significantly smaller, making room for the soon to be larger backup of the MBP #1? Little confused how that is going to work.
2. have shared access to iTunes library? basically it would be nice for all 3 computers to have the complete iTunes library, but I would also like to backup all 3 computers using Time Machine and don't want to have triplicates of the library. I was trying to figure out if the way to go is to put the iTunes on a shared drive on the Time Capsule, but is there a way for the 3 computers to 'sync' to the shared drive when new music is added? Finally, if the iTunes is within a shared drive does that mean it won't be backed up?
Much appreciation and thanks to anyone who can help make sense of this.

Update: Downloaded free version of Syncopation, and am hopeful this is going to some what solve my iTunes issue.
New question would be: when creating the Time Machine backups for MBP#1 and MBP #2 can I NOT back up the iTunes folders? That would save approx. 36G on each of these backups, right? 72G total of the Time Capsule space. And the assumption is that with Syncopation, as long as the iMac iTunes is backed up then, you have everything.

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

Can no longer connect to shared drive for Time Machine backups

I have a Firewire drive connected to my iMac and sharing enabled. 2 MacBook Airs then connect wirelessly to the same network and backup to the drive.
It has worked perfectly for the last couple of years with Lion and Mountain Lion.
Yesterday I upgraded to Mavericks and now neither laptop can see the shared drive in Time Machine, although the drive displays quite happily in Finder.
I have disabled and re-enabled sharing. Booted and re-plugged the drive in and still when I go to Time Machine preferences and select drive, nothing is listed.
Any ideas?

After hours and hours of constant searching and testing I still can't get it to work?
Any ideas?
I think sharing has changed in Mavericks.

Read-only access when saving metadata to file from Adobe Lightroom on a MAC OS to Windows shared drive

We have a group of 5 people editing and indexing photos to a shared drive on a windows server, everyone has its own catalog and working on different folders to avoid any locking conflicts.
The windows computers don't have any problems but the Mac's don't write the updated metadata to all files because they get the message "Photos have read-only access".
The environment is the following:
2x Macs workstations running:
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
- iMAC with MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
3x Windows Workstations:
- Windows 7
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Server:
- Shared drive on a Windows Server 2012 Standard
I have searched the internet, no one has this problem with this exact setup but I have tried all the solutions I found, namely:
1. Connect to the network drive with cifs:// protocol
2. Change the settings of the nsmb.conf for 'smb1_only' protocol
3. Mount the drive manually by command line
Nothing worked, any ideas?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have the same issue and wonder if Lightroom 6 will resolve it. I tried AFP, SMB2, SMB3 and they all failed to save metadata randomly. When I use NFS from OS X then it works fine but it's a little slower than SMB and it's not as native as the mount via AFP or SMB, so it's harder to maintain. My server is a FreeNAS 9.2 (FreeBSD) which is running Samba, Netatalk and native NFS.

Need help on self referencing a ssrs report

Hi All,
I have a graph on one of my report which shows data on level 1 by default and go on showing level 2 and level 3 data on successive clicks. This has been achieved by self referencing a ssrs report and passing respective parameters. Now to identify which level
data needs to be shown on graph, I have used one more parameter which default value is 1 and go on increasing to 2 then 3 on successive click and this parameter value is used in group expression of graph. This works just fine.
But the real problem has occurred when you go and select report parameters which are corresponding to level 1, level 2 and level 2 values and click on apply in between. For e.g. Assume level 1=Region, level 2=SubRegion and level 3=Country. When you run this
report it shows region wise data on graph and value of fourth parameter is 1, now when you click on graph it takes you to level 2 i.e. it shows sub region wise data on graph and value of fourth parameter is 2 but when you go and select all region, sub region
and countries from report parameters and click on apply button then it should show data on graph region wise but since the time you were selecting parameter data was sub region wise and value of fourth parameter was 2 it shows data for all sub regions which
is weird and not acceptable at all.
I am hoping SSRS should provide a way to pass parameters just like we pass in action on any control within ssrs report to solve this issue. Please help me out to solve this issue or let me know if need more infor.

I have tested with .xlsx & .dcsx but no error saving those files. only for this particular extension that facing this slowness problem. It has been on going for a month already and I couldn't figure it out what could be the issue.
Please if anyone experienced this issue, I would really appreciate your suggestions & guidance.
