Smb to mount a folder on a windows SAN with spaces in name

i am trying to write a smb mount statement , but the 3rd nested folder has a space in it. what is the syntax to go directly to those folder contents.
ex. smb://server/share$/folder with a space/another folder
should get me directly to the contents window of the "another folder" after authentication

Be it Mac or Windows, files have to be part of the library collection to play in iTunes. So if you open a file in iTunes it will automatically be added to the library. If you don't want it copied to the internal drive, hold down the option/alt key while dragging the file to an iTunes playlist. There's more elaborate and larger scale workarounds if you need them but they require you stay on top of what you are doing.
If you don't want to have the files added to iTunes, use an alternative player. I use an older computer. I use Quicktime to play individual tracks and Cog to play groups of them.
WMA files will not play in Mac iTunes. Windows Media support on Macs requires third party software.

Can't mount a folder from a windows network..

Our "IT" (outsourced) department migrated the network folders to another server and changed the filepath on the one folder I need to mount on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.8).
I have been able to mount the new folder onto other Windows boxes succesfully, but the filepath name doesn't work. I can get to the server and mount other folders there, but they have changed the file path and I'm hitting a brick wall when I try and mount it. The error message says that my Mac can't find the original folder..
Here is the windows ORIGINAL filepath ://pcmsf01\dept
Here is the new filepath ://pcmfs02\d\dept
The dept folder is the one in question...
As I said, I can mount other folders from the new (pcmfs) server, but I really think that the new naming of the filepath is confusing the Mac
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hold the COMMAND key while dragging a sidebar entry out of the sidebar.

I don't get an option to rename a URL I drag to a folder that has a URL with the same name.

Windows 7 asks me if I want to "Copy and Replace" or "Don't copy", but I get no option to keep both files. Is there a setting to change this?

IE stores its favorites as separate files and folders on the hard drive and that makes it impossible to have multiple entries with the same name.<br />
So you get the same behavior as with creating or saving files on the hard drive.
Firefox uses an SQLite database file and that allows to store as many copies of the same URL as you want although links are used and there is only one actual entry if it is an exact copy (a click on the highlighted star on the location bar reveals this).<br />
You can clearly see this if the URL is in the location bar, but not when you bookmark a link.
If you want to replace or update a bookmark then you will have to edit that bookmark, either via the star in the location bar or in the Library or sidebar or bookmarks toolbar.

Create an iso of Windows 8 with custom OEM name and information

I have searched EVERYWHERE for this. I installed the new windows 10 ADK on Windows 7 (They say it works on 7) and it has tons of features but I can't find a single guide or anything on how do just change the OEM info. Here is exactly what I want to do but I want to integrate it into the iso. Which is what I thought the ADK is for. I have been tearing my hair out now for 5 hours and I would appreciate it if anyone had a solution for this. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Andreas is right, we have many ways to deploy Windows 8.1 like OEM.
You can also try the ADK:
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=39982
The Windows ADK enables two key scenarios: Windows deployment and Windows assessment.
Windows Deployment is for OEMs and IT professionals who customize and automate the large-scale installation of Windows on a factory floor or across an organization.

Windows directory with spaces & RMI

Folks,
If the product is installed in a directory where a path does not have blanks it works perfectly well. My client creates a remote object then use a method toStub and passes this object to a server. A server throws exception. A method to RemoteServer.toStub() returns a proxy class that is not understood by a server. This example refers to a windows directory named "Hi And By". There are no places where an installation location is used within the code.
Any ideas ? The resolution is important to enable installation under "Program Files".
Here is a fragment of code that causes the exception and a server trace.
Code:
// Create a remote object
HeartbeatImpl tmp = new HeartbeatImpl();
try {
// pass a handle to a server
remSession.setHeartbeat((HeartbeatRemote)RemoteServer.toStub(tmp));
Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: And

I'll continue this here because that's where it belongs but can you possibly answer the questions I asked in the other place? and can you explain why this stack trace is different from the first one?
It looks to me as though the path you mention is either in the java.rmi.server.codebase or the classpath. If the former it needs %20 instead of spaces; if the latter it needs quoting. From my reading of sun.rmi.server.LoaderHandler.pathToURLs() it looks like a codebase setting. Codebases contain URLs and URLs cannot contain spaces.

Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.

Error:
"An error occurred while reconnecting drive letter to \\network server\share folder.
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored."
1) A workstation is running Windows 7
2) The user has a drive letter mapped to a UNC
3) The connection is interrupted at some point and then restored
4) Upon attempting to access the mapped network drive, the user gets the error about the letter being
already in use.
Extremely disappointed that some of the posts marked as answers were obviously not, shows how poor the moderators here are.
My latest results clearly point to a Windows 7 client problem:
I received the error.
Had run nslookup so had a prompt open.
ran dir z:    worked. went to Windows Explorer, same error.
ran dir z:\sharename    worked. went to Windows Explorer, same error.
copy con z: test.txt then type test.txt; could create and retrieve file. Went and clicked on mapped drive in Windows explorer and received same error.
Obviously(?) not a Server or Networking problem. Ran Malwarebytes from bootable CD (client doesn't believe in AV). Didn't happen with USB flash drive.
Any other ideas?

This is usually because the drive letter assigned to the network share is taken by something else. Maybe, by a removable drive.
Moderators and other answerers do their best to help specific cases, but everyone has their own situation. Apply common sense to the replies you find in the forums.
When you typed dir z: - is Z: the drive letter you wanted for this share, or it was automatically assigned?
-- pa
Alternatively you could try using common sense when you post, as well as taking the time to read the entire issue post so that you can avoid showing both your ignorance and arrogance (arrogance without any competency to back it I might add).
Suggesting that it might be "another drive" that took over the mapping shows your lack of reading comprehension and is unhelpful.   Please take the time to, once again, read first.
Lastly moderators here generally show little technical skill beyond entering search words into a knowledge-base of articles and then applying the results incorrectly further exacerbating the situation for the customer.

Bug with workflow that creates a folder and sub folder with the same name.

Hi,
I've found a possible bug in SharePoint 2010 workflows. I only have access to SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 over my companies intranet, afaik I don't have access to to logs or anything server side so sorry for the any missing information.
I had some problems with a workflow in one list that needed to create some folders and subfolders in a second list. The production version did a lot more so I setup a test area with 1 list and a workflow that only does the folder creation part and have managed
to consistently replicate this problem.
The test list has two columns, [title] and [sub folder title]
The workflow starts by getting the values for [title] and [sub folder title] into variables.
It then creates a folder in the same list with the same name as [title], and then creates a sub folder under this with the name from [sub folder title]
So the resulting structure would be:
Test List:-
List item with fields [title] and [sub folder title]
[folder: title]:-
[folder: sub folder title]
If both folder names are different (e.g Folder1 and Folder2) then it works perfectly fine, if both folder names are the same (regardless of character case, e.g. samefolderName and sameFolderName) then the workflow fails.
As part of the test i made the first action of the workflow to log the message "Workflow Started" to the history list. When the workflow fail there's nothing logged in the history list other than the error: "The workflow could not update the
item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."
Creating a sub folder with the same name as it's parent works fine manually but for some reason a workflow can't seem to do it in one action.
As there's no history list entries before the error it looks like the workflow is just failing to start but if i do something like add an if statement to check if [title] and [sub folder title] are the same, and only create the subfolder when they are not
then it runs fine doing what it's set to.
The function of the workflow in our office was for convenience so were just working without it. Just wanted to post to see if anyone else has come across this/could try to replicate or explain this and see if it's a SharePoint bug or something specific
to our setup.
thanks,
Martin

not sure about the specifics of your workflow, but if you're querying the list for the folders... keep in mind that a list lookup will only ever bring back ONE item... even if there are several items that meet the filter criteria... example: if i search
a list for an item assigned to "john doe", there may be 15 tasks that meet the criteria, and it'll only grab one... this is why SP Designer WARNS you when your list lookup may exhibit this behavior.

How to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

how to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

No easy way. Unless you use the same username and the same password on both system then you have to enable Windows File Sharing (SMB) in Sharing, add your Mac username and type in your password in the options of Sharing and then set a NetBIOS name and a workgroup name that is the same on both Windows and Mac. That is in the Network section under advanced WINS tab.

MIssing Albums Folder from Finder window

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought under the "Pictures" folder there should be an "Album" Folder. This Album folder would contain all the albums created in iPhoto. Is this a correct assessment?
If so, I do not have an album folder. How can I get it back? Any help would be much appreciated. As my finder is now, there are some data files but all date folder organizing my photos but no albums.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Michael, as Alexander said, they are not more. And may I add, much to everyones dismay. I'll give you a little more info that might help you out.
iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

Windows Server 2008 R2 Folder Redirection on Windows 8.1 Not Working

I am running Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers on 2008 R2 Functional Level. Only our IT Dept is running Windows 8.1, everyone else on 7 Enterprise SP1 edition.
I cannot get Folder Redirection to work on Windows 8.1 which I need to get completed because the current File Server that hosts the current Userprofile\User\Documents is going to be upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2 DFS.
I ran a group policy results on my Machine and Username, the Folder Redirection Policy is shown with no errors. Yet my "Documents' still point to C:\.

Hi,
Here is a similar thread on Group Policy forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/05b12275-c595-4c4a-877a-c6a9e8d5e086/windows-2012-r2windows-81-gpo-folder-redirection-woes?forum=winserverGP
Several possible solutions are delivered including:
1. Try to enable the following setting:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
2. Run a RSOP to see the applied group policies and check if any conflict occurs which cause the issue.
3. Test to recreate user profile (as the last reply mentioned) to see if issue still exists.

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,

Mount webdav folder on OS Lion

Hi I have iomega ix2-200 cloud edition nas drive and use it on regular basis thru wireless connection on afp command. The drive can easily be mounted on finder.
The issue arises when I am outside (home network) and want to access nas drive. Currently, I am using filezilla to download/upload information however it is getting messier every time due to amount of files being edited.
I was reading thru article and came across WebDAV secure link which is available on this device. I have enabled and successfully connected my win7 machine ( as mapped WebDAV folder). Mac however does not want to know, even though I am sure connect tab does offer WebDAV connectivity.
I have already spoken to iomega support and according to them it is mac issue and not fault with nas drive. Can you please guide me on how should I mount WebDAV folder ( ie http/https) on finder.
Kind regards,
Jay

Anyone...been facing similiar problems on OS lion?
