SMB shared folder size limited 10gb but I need more!

Hey.
I was just wondering this. Started to build SMB share for windows users, but all the shared folders I make are limited to 10gb size. Cant find a way to make ithem larger. There is like 1,8Tb of space on that HD so I don't really know why is it limiting to 10gb?

That is true. I have my users home directories on the same volume. God.. But atleast now I know whats going on.
It's just that now I have 2TB raid drive with about 60 10gb homes, the plan was to use it also for shared directories, but i guess I just have to divide it to 2 volumes then.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Happy holidays!

No thumbnails/preview in Nautilus for files in a smb shared folder.

Hi,
This is a problem I have tried to solve for more than a year by posting in forums, trial and error and a lot of Google searches. For my work I have to look through large folders on a smb share with movie files. I need thumbnails/preview to be able to work efficiently. On Ubuntu and other deb based distros I have thumbnails/preview in Nautilus just by setting it in the Naurilus preferences for networked folders. Not so on Arch (and Antergos). I do have thumbnails/preview for local files, but regardless of what I do not for the smb shared folders. I have of course configured Nautilus to preview all files.
I can see that there are generated failed thumbnails in ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory, so for some reason they are not generated correctly for the movie files in the smb shared folder on Arch. I have tried to install ffmpegthumbnailer and tons of other methods I have found in the forums and elsewhere, but I have not been able to get it to work. And again, on Ubuntu it works out of the box so it's not like there's a bug in Nautilus preventing thumbnails for files on a network share.
I'm running GNOME as my DE, but it doesn't seem to matter which DE I run as long as Nautilus or Nemo is the file manager.
I do not expect a solution, but one can always hope!

I had a similar issue, and it turns out nautilus was using ffmpegthumbnailer instead of totem-video-thumbnailer.
And ffmpegthumbnailer doesn't seem to work with files on "smb://...". It was generating empty pngs.
Do you have totem installed et does this create an image ?
totem-video-thumbnailer "smb://videoserver/pathtovideofile/videofile" test.png
Did you try to uninstall ffmpegthumbnailer or video thumbnailers other than totem ?

Restore the backup from your computer

I was given a 16Gb ipad mini retina with cellular but I need more storage. We do not have the receipt as it is a gift. I like to swap for a 64Gb unit and pay for the difference my self, how do I go about doing that? I have not open the packaging yet.

Hi
Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage.

Problem accessing smb shared folder

Hi,
I have Linux Ubuntu server in which i have shared folder. Now the problem is from my home (internet) I have connected to vpn connection and trying to access shared folder but it gives an error saying
"Connection Failed - The Server "my hostname" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name of ip address, check your network connection and then try again.
But when access same shared folder from any cyber centre (internet cafe) it works fine.
Please help
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

I'm not sure how that's better than Get Info and clicking the Locked checkbox.
In any case, there are a bunch of these. We use a source control system that is not available for the Mac. All the source code that we have to work on is going to be locked.
What I'd really like to know is whether this is a bug in SL, or is there some setting that I can make that would make SL work like Leopard.

Library in shared folder - users can see, but not change?

We have or music library saved to the shared folder so all of the users in the family can access the music. However, only the original user can make changes (change genre, mark don't include in shuffle, etc.). Is this by design, or should everyone be able to make changes to the music?

This still does not fix it... If you cannot R&W over the folders and the library, you cannot even open the library. I've been looking into the same issue, and have not been successful. I might try what I used for iPhoto and worked beautifully; I have not done so, because if I remember correctly, it was posted that this does not work:
sudo fsaclctl -p / -e
sudo chmod +a "<other user> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" <path to directory>

I've installed Firefox but don't have the Firefox folder in Application Support (but I need to access this to edit my profile since Firefox won't open)

Online troubleshooting tells me I have to go into my profile to edit something in order to get Firefox to launch. For now, it's telling me that only one copy of Firefox can be open at once. However, I don't have the Firefox folder in my Application Support, even though I've installed Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I reformated my computer and wanted to download Firefox ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

I get the same thing with Firefox, IE8, Opera, and Safari. It isn't a Firefox only problem.
Are you new to that webhosting service? <br /> Have you ever uploaded web pages to that same web hosting service previously, pages that worked after an upload? <br /> Are those pages listed as ''' "public" ''' pages in your web hosts control panel?
My suggestion is to "download" your homepage and associated files & images from your PC, up to the server, using your web hosts control panel and see how that works.
Beyond that, I suspect that you might have missed an important setting in Dreanweaver for uploading to the web host's server. You might try asking about this issue at a Dreamweaver support forum.

Sorry but I need more help to set up AE as bridge

Hi, I had some advise on how to set up airport Extreme as a bridge (? - I need to extend my network without confusing two or more IP addresses or something like that). I have tried a few thing but really do not know how to connect to the device for the setup. I think the LAN connection from the ISP Modem should go into the "circle" port and the MAC should plug into one of the three <-.-> ports.
In running through AE utility, I end up with it telling me that I do not have an IP address and I should contact my ISP.
If there is someone out there that has the knowledge and patience to give me a step by step guide to connect and configure this setup so that I end up with a reliable network extension that does not clash with the ISP modem Router. I would be very grateful. Thanks!

I will check. I it possible that that was not the model number. I have hooked up the laptop so I can communicate again. and hmmm, sorry it is a 2701 model.
Here's what I have done in the mean time and the information you requested Bob:
Switched everything off again, disconnected the apple TV and 2Wire modem, connected modem, connected AE, waited 3 minutes, switched on Mac Pro then connected to <-.-> port on AE, waited 2 minutes, started up Airport Utility and tried to connect (after upgrading to latest firmware).
Resulting in Error message:
"An error occurred while updating the configuration.
Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6737)"
I can report the connections settings prior to changing them:
Connect using: Ethernet (I left this as was)
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP (I set to manually)
Ethernet WANPort: Automatic I l left this as was)
Connection sharing: Share a public IP address (I set to "OFF (Bridge Mode)")
resulting in the error mentioned above..
Does this tel you anything? Should I disconnect my MacBook which is using wifi to 2Wire?
I am going to try to set the AE with the MacBook while I wait for your advice.
Thanks again! Floor

There's a maximum size for the header-I need more room

This is a weird one for me. I am making a worksheet for my students and I'm making them in sets of four so they can work together. About 2/3rds of each page is the same, with a list of different words at the bottom. So I want to put the top 2/3rds of each page into the header, since I need to make 10 sets of these.
But I can't. Pages won't let me make a header that goes more than about a third of the way down the page. Anything entered lower than that is cut off.
What's the point of this restriction? Forget that—is there any way around it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter,
Don't use a header. Place the fixed text into a floating text box in a Pages word processing document.
Resize the box to fit within the document margins, and place it where you want it on the page.
Apply Wrap to prevent 'regular' text from sliding over or under the text box.
With the box selected, go Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
The text box (and its text) will appear on each page until you enter a Section Break. The rest of the page will contain whatever text you enter in that area.

Barry

On Location is not for sale, but I need more copies of it at shoots than the 2 allowed by the EULA.

I have 3-8 cameras at my shoots. I use On Location for capture. After purchasing CS5, I discovered that the CS5 EULA allows '2 installations' max and there are no extended licenses available for On Location.
Now, OnLocation is not available for purchase seperately from Master Collection CS5 or Premiere CS5, so I cannot just buy a few more copies of it. So how the heck can I put On Location on 5-8 seperate capturing laptops, without buying CS5 4 different times?
Installation of On Location alone on additional machines results in a 'activation limit exceeded' screen when I logon to the capture laptops (post installation). I guess I could deactivate the Network Card to avoid the software communicating with Adobe, but I use it to transfer footage to my Network Drive at the end of each day
Any insight?

How to read .mdb file from shared folder

Hi All,
In one of my local computer I have a shared folder and within the folder I have a .mdb file. Now I am trying to read that file from MII. I have tried with Get_File_List action block. I am providing the following information to Get_File_List
Folder :
<Computer Name>\<Shared Folder Name>
Mask: .mdb
But in return of Get_File_List, I am not getting any file related information. It is only providing like below
<Rowsets>
<Rowset>
<Columns>
<Column Description="Name" MaxRange="0" MinRange="0" Name="Name" SQLDataType="1" SourceColumn="Name"/>
<Column Description="Date" MaxRange="0" MinRange="0" Name="Date" SQLDataType="93" SourceColumn="Date"/>
<Column Description="Size" MaxRange="100" MinRange="0" Name="Size" SQLDataType="4" SourceColumn="Size"/>
<Column Description="LastWriteDate" MaxRange="0" MinRange="0" Name="LastWriteDate" SQLDataType="93" SourceColumn="LastWriteDate"/>
<Column Description="ReadOnly" MaxRange="1" MinRange="0" Name="ReadOnly" SQLDataType="4" SourceColumn="ReadOnly"/>
<Column Description="FullPath" MaxRange="0" MinRange="0" Name="FullPath" SQLDataType="1" SourceColumn="FullPath"/>
</Columns>
</Rowset>
</Rowsets>
Can anybody suggest me how to achieve it.
Thanks in advance

Hi Chandan,
Specify the mask as *.mdb and try.

Folder Size Exceed Disk Size

I am using Western Digital 2TB external HDD for Time Machine backup for 3 Mac. The remaining disk space now is 733GB. I am confused that one of the backup folder occupy more than 2TB. And the other 2 folders are still calculating since I started about 6 hours ago.
My 2 questions are:
1) Why the folder size is 3.13TB which is more than the physical size of the harddisk
2) Why it is taking such a long time to compute the disk space for the other two folder

Hi,
Actually, it may be a display error, anyway I would record this issue.
Although, I would give you some short description about this issue.
Files would have two properties about size:
Size: is the actual size of the file in bytes.
Size on disk: is the actual amount of space being take up on the disk.
I believe Windows Explorer is invoking GetCompressedFileSize function to retrieves the actual number of bytes of disk storage used to store a specified file. If the file is located on a volume that supports compression and the file is
compressed, the value obtained is the compressed size of the specified file.
We can see everything works well in Windows 8 and previous versions. To prove this is a misread issue, let’s use GetCompressedFileSize function to see if we can retrieve the right value of compressed file size.
Here is the first picture in Windows 8:
The second is in Windows 8.1, but we use PowerShell script to retrieve the right value:
About the whole process, you can refer to this article:
Get the size of a file on disk
http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2013/10/31/pstip-get-the-size-of-a-file-on-disk/
GetCompressedFileSize function
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364930(v=vs.85).aspx
So, I think it just don't read the compressed file size successfully, so it use the "Size" value directly to calculate the Size on disk.
Hope this could make it clear.

Importing music from shared folder

I'm currently moving my music to my 2nd Account. (i'm the only user). I also put the .xml file and iTunes library file in the shared folder.
Question: what do i need to do to ensure that my songs, playlists get imported correctly??
Thanks!

Hello, I had similar problems. Here is what I think is happening: You have two versions of every song in your library stored in your "My Music" folder. When iTunes first scans your "My Music" folder, it creates a copy of every song and keeps these in the "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music" folder. At least this is where it is stored on my machine. These stay even if you uninstall iTunes.
So, when you rescan your music with iTunes, it re-sees both versions. Here is what I would do:
1.Uninstall iTunes as thoroughly as you possibly can.
2.Look in your "My Music" folder for any folder or file with the word "iTunes" in it. Delete these files (iTunes Music, iTunes Libraries, etc.).
3. Make sure there is only one version of each song on your machine.
4. Reinstall iTunes.
5. When you are prompted, tell iTunes that you will manage your files. Basically, don't allow iTunes to copy every song to the "iTunes Music" folder.
Here is what I do to make sure my music stays where I want it:
Whenever I import a CD or purchase music, it is automatically placed in the "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music" folder. I go in and cut and paste the just-added folder out of this "iTunes Music" folder into the "My Music" folder where all of my other music resides. Then, I open iTunes and double click on the files I just moved. iTunes will not be able to find them because they are not where iTunes remembers storing them. It will give me the option to find the files manually, which I do. I do this for every song I just added.
This way, all of my music stays organized in the "My Music" folder. Should I ever need to change machines, I can get the files only with no iTunes baggage to screw up the installation on the new machine. Hope this helps!
