Trying to save preferences to a network drive (no local drives available).

I'm on a virtual desktop with no local drives.  Captivate 8 is telling me that I can't save Preferences, Projects, or Cache items to a network drive.  I have no choice in the matter.  Any ideas how I can get around this?  Thanks.

You're stuck. The computer you are currently using is not suitable for running Captivate. You need to get one with local drives and which allows you to run the app as an administrator.

  • MS Office documents locking itself when user is trying to save it on a network drive.

    As the subject states I am having a issue with a user that when he is trying to save a document it is stating that the file is in use by another user.... for every single document he tries to save to.
    I made a test account and assigned it to the same domain group and it does the same thing but the user said this didn't start happening until a few days ago and nobody changed the groups NTFS permissions for this folder.
    I checked the file server for file locks and it is stating that he is the one locking it with read/write permissions.
    He can save to other documents fine that is non MS Office related, and if he opens the file going through the MS Office program instead of opening it from the windows explorer viewer it saves fine.
    Now I looked at his NTFS permissions since another department at my job seems to think this is NTFS related but he has read/write/modify access but does not have access to delete.
    When I give him the access to be able to delete in this folder everything works fine but I don't feel the risk is justifiable to give him access to delete files just so he can save MS Office documents when he should be able to save to begin with.
    I tried looking on the internet for a couple hours and couldn't find anything that quite fit this situation.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jonathan,
    You would need to user Adobe creative cloud packager which creates an installation package and deploy to users machines. i assume, you are installing Adobe creative cloud desktop app from a network drive which is not recommended.

  • I am trying to save photos from iphoto to an external hard drive

    Help!
    I bought a "WD Elements" external hard drive to save photos and make more room on my Macbook Pro. I can't move pics from iphoto to my "WD Elements" hard drive . I've recently gone on a few vacations and have a few thousand pictures to download. I'd like to save them onto my computer and then my external hard drive, but would first like to place old pics from iphoto onto the external hard drive and I am unable to figure out how to do this. I've tried selecting pics and then dragging them into the "Elements" external device, but this is not working (a white circle with a line through it pops up, as if I am unable to do this). When I select pics and click export, a message says that it's unable to export these pics to the hard drive device.
    Please help! ~Thanks!

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • HELLLLP!! I was trying to save my completed project to an external hard drive and I did it improperly. (I just wanted the final edit, not any of the reference files...) So I deleted it...and I guess went to far. Now my project is missing!  Tips??

    I duplicated it impropelry. I didn't want to duplicate all the reference files etc... I deleted it...and perhaps went too far in deleting other items. Now my project is gone from my timeline. Is there anything I can do to retrieve my work?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Can I "cache" large RAW files imported from network drive on local drive?

    I've seen discussions similar to this topic, regarding "offline" editing, but not exact answers I'm looking for.
    I'm copying RAW files from a shoot onto my network RAID drive in a per-album folder, from where I then import into a new LR catalog (I'm using LR 4.1) on my Windows laptop for that album.
    I'm finding that editing RAW files on a network drive from a wireless laptop is awfully slow (not to mention not being able to continue the work offline somewhere else), so I'd like to cache those files on my speedy SSD drive just until I'm done editing and exporting/publishing that album.
    I back up my per-album catalog onto the network folder alongside the RAW files since that's my IT-managed master repository. When I'm done editing, I'd purge the cached files and just keep the catalog previews on my limited capacity SSD.
    So, is there a way to tell LR to, for one/all files imported from a location (in my case a network folder), look in an alternate location for the identical files? Since I create per-album catalogs in per-album folders, there wouldn't be filename clashing. Either LR can provide this caching behavior on its own or I'd manually copy files from the network folder to a local folder and tell LR to look there first.
    I don't really want to make copies of files into secondary folders within LR since then it's a hassle to merge edits on the cached copy to its master copy (I haven't done this, but I'd imagine so).
    Thanks for your workflow tips.

    Have you tried locating your ACR Raw cache on this SSD drive, also ensuring that the size limit of this cache is large enough, to keep a goodly chunk of these Raw images all in play at the same time?
    My understanding is that for performance reasons, LR will be caching your Raw data locally in any case - on conventional hard disk by default. And it will be doing so in an intermediate half-converted form (demosaiced into "sensor RGB space" but not translated into "picture RGB values" - the latter process varies depending on your live Develop adjustments).
    So long as this cache has not run short, and reallocated space for something else, LR should (as far as I know) not be needing to go back to the network drive to re-fetch actual Raw content. And keeping that cache somewhere fast rather than somewhere slow, should improve responsiveness.
    I imagine, though, that LR will continually check the availability and the unchanged timestamp of the real source file; and wouldn't let you carry on working from automatically cached data otherwise.

    I get this message at the end of downloading iTunes10.5   can anyone help please?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Export from external drive reduces local drive space????

    So I've uploaded a couple videos to youtube via Quicktime export.  The files are stored on an external hard drive, however as the file uploads, I watch as the available space on the local hard drive goes down.  Is Quicktime storing a local file in addition to the one on the external???  If so, where?  I can't find it to delete it so I can free up that space again.

    A key consideration is the amount of free space on your boot hard drive. You will probably need a minimum of 15 to 20 GB to complete your project in iDVD. If you will have this amount of free space after copying over the files, go ahead.
    BTW, if you plan on making several copies, make your first 'burn' to a disk image on your hard drive (it's an option under 'File' if I remember correctly).
    Verify the disk image with Apple's DVD Player and then burn the copies you need with Apple's Disk Utility. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006

    (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:

  • My xp desktop thinks i/tunes is on a network resource that is not available, stops it being removed or upgraded,help

    unable to remove or download i/tunes from XP desktop, the feture you are trying to remove is on a network resource that is not available plus my computer thinks the i/phone is a scanner or camera. can anyone tell me how to delete i/tunes so i can re-install ?

    This problem can usually be fixed with the Microsft Installer cleanup utility.
    Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google  msicuu2.exe download
    mydigitallife or MajorGeeks in the above search have a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the file on your PC.
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista/Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did *not* uninstall, look out for entries that start All Users that are blank entries or have numeric entries that look like version numbers
    restart your PC and try installing iTunes

  • Networked Drive: An error occurred while trying to save your photo library

    I just upgraded to iLife '08. After opening iPhoto '08 I began editing Events. After some merging and adding titles I got this error:
    +"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library"+
    My iPhoto Library is on a networked drive connected to another Mac. Both Macs are on the same switch and there appears to be no issues copying and deleting files and folders outside of iPhoto. Even inside iPhoto, this error is inconsistent, it happens on some changes and not others. I've had this setup for about three years with no issues in previous versions of iPhoto.

    There's a strong chance that the problem is the format of the server. Event though the Mac can read and write to FAT formatted drives, there are file name length issues that can really mess up a library or other files.
    If you really want to have an error free setup use a server that's formatted for Mac OS X (journaled).
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Cannot save or access preferences on our network

    I'm hoping there are some Apple XSAN exports out there who can assist me. I've been having these problems for months and our engineers have not had the slightest clue in fixing these issues. It seems very easy to fix, but since I'm not a network engineer I can only hope that they fix it for me... but it hasn't happened yet.
    Basically, there seems to be a system wide problem that is not allowing me to write/save preferences for various applications on my system. I'm a video editor and Final Cut Studio seems to be unaffected by these problems. However - I have a Wacom Intuous 3 tablet and I can't even get access to the Wacom preference pane - it's grayed out. This is most frustrating aspect. Other smaller aspects are likewise frustrating - for example it doesn't seem like Kona 3 Control Panel settings are recognizing anything I change... so that the next time I launch it everything is reset. It's such a hassle having to go in and reset these things every time. Also, when I installed the Zaxwerks plugin for Adobe After effects it would not save any of my settings... this was the only problem I was able to remedy myself by doing some hunting and pecking and changing the permissions so that I own the preference files. This solution doesn't seem to be working for the other programs though. It's worth mentioning - I do know the admin login and password when it prompts me to authenticate... so I am able to change preferences to try to alleviate this problem. However - for example with the Wacom - I've changed the ownership to me on nearly every file I've found associated with the driver and pref pane.. but it still remains grayed out.
    If anyone knows any solutions I can let the engineers know so that the problem doesn't happen to begin with, that would be great. It would seem that they could do something system wide to allow people who install drivers and preferences to at least have access to them. I had to type in the admin name and password when I installed the WACOM drivers... wouldn't it make sense that if I could do that then I could have access to the actual pane?
    If anyone could provide some insight I would greatly appreciate. Some details that might help:
    I'm using a MacPro 8-core 3Ghz workstation
    We're using I believe the latest software version of XSAN

    Wow.
    Sounds like you're either NetBooted or in a version of **** created by MCX. An over zealous Mac Admin run amok with Workgroup Manager can make all those prefs unchageable and saveable. (No, I've never done that

    I am trying to save a doc. to a external hard drive and it wont allow me. I says its read only, any ideas on how to correct it?

    Save it on the internal HD then copy it from this safe location to the external device.
    iWork applications can't apply their save process on devices which aren't formatted as HFS+.
    But it may also be that for some reason, an external device formatted as HFS+ is set to Read Only.
    If it's this case, you will have to change de setting before moving the file on it.
