SyncToy 2.1 Can't Find NAS Folder When Run From Task Scheduler

I'm using SyncToy 2.1 to keep two WIN7 computers and a Synology DS414j NAS drive in sync. I have several folder pairs configured, some between the two PC's and three between one PC and the NAS drive. I have a task set up for automatic syncing. The problem
is SyncToy can't find the destination folders on the NAS drive if it's run from Task Scheduler. If I run SyncToy manually, everything works fine. I've even tried opening the command prompt and running the exact same program Task Scheduler is running (SyncToyCmd.exe
-R), and it works perfectly. But when Task Scheduler runs the task, it fails to find the NAS folders with the following error message:
SYNC: 08/21/2014 14:12:26:140: *** Failed to execute folder pair Downloads to NAS. Could not locate folder \\DISKSTATION\Downloads\.
I've been looking for days for a solution and have not found anyone with this problem. Any ideas?

Hi Texxxas,
Apparently the problem is not with SyncToy, it is with Task Scheduler. If you have had Task Scheduler work for you in the past, then I don't have an answer for that. I have never been able to get Task Scheduler to work correctly with SyncToy and a NAS drive.
I have found that for some reason it works with USB external HDD's but will not work with a network connected hard drive. The same bug exists in Win8.1 as well. However, I have since found a third party task scheduler that works perfectly with SyncToy and
my NAS drive. It is called System Scheduler by Splinterware. The free version only works when you are logged in but they have a paid version that runs as a service and will execute without being logged in. This has solved my problem.

Make can't recursively call Make when run from Runtime.exec (for some user)

This one is a little complicated. The afflicted platform is Mac OS X. It works fine on Linux, it seems, and even then, it does work for some Mac OS X users...
First, the setup. I have a Java program that has to call GNU Make. Then, GNU Make will recursively call Make in some subdirectories. This results in the following Java code:
String make = "make"; //on windows, I have this swapped with "mingw32-make"
String workDir = ...; //this is programmatically detected to be the same folder that the parent Makefile is in
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(make,null,workDir);This calls make on a Makefile which has the following line early on to be executed (this is only a snippet from the makefile):
cd subdirectory && $(MAKE)When I fetch the output from the make command, I usually get what I expect: It cd's to the directory and it recursively calls make and everything goes smoothly.
However, for one particular user, using Mac OS X, he has reported the following output:
cd subdirectory && make
/bin/sh: make: command not found
make: *** [PROJNAME] Error 127Which is like, kinda hurts my head... make can't find make, apparently.
I've gotten some suggestions that it might be due to the "cd" command acting wonky. I've gotten other suggestions that it may be some strange setup with the env variables (My Mac developer is implementing a fix/workaround for 'environ', which is apparently posix standard, but Mac (Mr. Posix Compliance...) doesn't implement it. When he finishes that, I'll know whether it worked or not, but I get the feeling it won't fix this problem, since it's intended for another area of code entirely...
Also worth mentioning, when the user calls "make" from the terminal in said directory, it recurses fine, getting past that particular line. (Later on down the road he hits errors with environ, which is what my aforementioned Mac dev is working on). Although calling "make" by hand is not an ideal solution here.
Anyways, I'm looking for someone who's fairly knowledgeable with Runtime.exec() to suggest some way to work around this, or at least to find out that perhaps one of the User's settings are wonked up and they can just fix it and have this working... that'd be great too.

/bin/sh: make: command not found
make: *** [PROJNAME] Error 127Which is like, kinda hurts my head... make can't find make, apparently.If that is being reported on the command line, then I'd say that make wasn't being found at all.If make isn't being found, then who's interpreting the Makefile?
It's also just possible that the make script on Mac isn't correctly exporting its PATH variable, though it seems unlikely, since this would surely have been reported as a bug long ago.
I've gotten some suggestions that it might be due to the "cd" command acting wonky...Also seems unlikely. 'cd' has been around since shortly after the K-T extinction event.
WinstonBy "acting wonky", I mean being given a bad work directory or some such, such that it's not changing to the intended directory.

Already read it. I already know the dreadful wonders of Runtime.exec. But in this case, it's been working fine for us up until one Mac user reported that make can't find make.
Also, why are you still coding for Java 1.4? If you are not, use a ProcessBuilder, which takes a small part of the pain out of dealing with processes.Usually I do use a ProcessBuilder. I noticed that it usually delegates to Runtime.exec() anyways, and seeing as I didn't need any of the additional functionality, I decided to just use Runtime.exec() in this particular case.

You could try to find them first and try to put them where iDVD looks for them.
BUT name of iDVD are not same as version no.

IPod Updater can't find bundle folder Binary-5

I seem to be having trouble even restoring my factory settings on my 60g ipod. I of course have been having the sync problem as well, NOTHING has transferred and now, when I run the updater I log the following message in the console, "iPod Updater can't find bundle folder Binary-5" I have no idea what this means. Also, when running disk utility I get the following: "Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
Invalid B-tree node size
The volume needs to be repaired.
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
1 volume checked
0 HFS volumes verified
1 volume failed verification"
Suffice it to say my ipod no longer appears in Itunes 5.0.1 nor on my desktop but I can see it in System Profiler and (greyed out) in Disk Utility. Also I'm unable to run Software Update by the normal means, I have to do so with a "sudo" command in terminal in order to install anything. Is this a possible permissions issue as well? Does anyone have any ideas that can point me in the right direction for correction?
Thanks

Ok! Simple.
Plug in your iPod to your new computer.
Go to Files and click "Transfer purchases from iPod"
Now, this is the simplest way to put your purchased music on another computer.
You will be asked to authorize the new computer to have the iPod's content.
Authorize it. You have a total of five computers that you can authorize.
However, if not all your music has been purchased from an iTunes store, like CD's, you can download (among many other programs of this kind) iPodRip. Once you have downloaded it, plug in your iPod and within one minute, it will transfer all the iPod's content, music as well as videos and playlists..., back to the computer.
To put everything back to iTunes, click on the Recover Songs icon. A box will appear asking you if you want to load everything back to iTunes and/or Hard Drive. Check both options (or at least iTunes).
Wait for a while, the time for your music to load back, and voilà! Your iTunes will be just like the one you had.
Try that and tell me if it helped!

Itunes won't open. Says can't find the folder

Hi,
I could install Itunes and Quicktime, I already tried the msconfig solutions but it doesn't work. I have a ipod with video and I can't get it to work because itunes won't open.
It displays the license agreement and after I agree it displays error message "Can't find itunes folder or can't be created and is needed for Itunes to work. This is normally located under My music folder".
I tried to create manually the folder, and still doesn't work.
Can you help me with this or tell me if I can use another application to transfer video and photos to my Ipod?

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

I can't find a folder I created in photoshop while saving I pressed new folder. can anyone help? I have used the finder option, and it's not pulling it up!

I can't find a folder I made in photoshop while saving, i pressed new folder button, named it and saved several photos to it. It was easy in the begining while it was a recent folder. I could always find it as a recent folder. Now that it's not, I don't know where it is. And finder won't pull it up. Can anyone suggest a magic fix?

In the Finder (with a window open shown), type all or part of the folderName or the new fileName(s) as illustrated in EITHER field

I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can't find the folder for fotos in the icloud

Hi,
I can't find the folder for the where are the fotos stored in the iCloud.
I soo only five folders but nothing with fotos in my iCloud
Can you help
Thx

There is no access to your photos in the iCloud website. PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring photos added to or taken on one device onto all the others: photos are held there for only 30 days. It's not a gallery and there are no display facilities.
