Win 8 - Cannot Write To Folder Created Via Mac

This is kinda strange and hard to explain, but I shall try.
Basically I have a NAS server. When I create a folder on the NAS server via my Mac, I am given permission errors when trying to copy to that folder via Windows 8 (And possibly other windows too).
Trying to change permissions on windows throws up a "Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied" error.
This is driving me potty so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Scanning with Preview - "cannot write to folder" error

I was scanning some photos yesterday using my epson 3170 scanner into Preview.
These scanned & saved OK.
then I installed a couple of Apple updates - one was the latest OS X security update and a java update.
I then scanned something else and now I get a "cannot write to folder" error message preventing me from saving the scanned image (to the same folder I was saving the others to earlier). I can save files to the same folder using other apps so there is nothing wrong with the drive or folder permissions.
I scanned the image otthe desktop and moved the file to the folder I wanted.
If I use ImageCapture it works OK as well.
Any ideas why Preview won't let me save the images?

Check the protections. A command such as ls -ale@ or ls -aled@ would be typical for checking that. I'd guess the files aren't writeable by the web server. This'll probably be a chown and possibly a chmod command to bring the settings on the errant log(s) into agreement with the other settings on the other Apache web server logs that are being written.
FWIW, I'd use zdump or cat and pipe the log contents elsewhere if I wanted to write to them. But if you're resetting the logs, there's a rollover script around (the one that runs automatically on OS X, and I'm unfortunately drawing a blank on the name; it moved from the /etc/periodic stuff over to launchd a while back), or write your own short script that rolls the files and leaves the appropriate owner and permissions settings.
There's an intro to the Mavericks Apache file set up at /library/server/web/config/apache2/readme.txt

I want to copy my iPhoto library to an external drive but I cannot find the folder on my Mac Air. When I open Finder there is no Picture folder showing so I cannot find the iPhoto library.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Pictures/ as the path. If that doesn't work, control-click a photo in iPhoto, show it in the Finder, and Command-click the folder's name in the window's title bar to find the path.

HP 8500 - Cannot get network folder for scans (Mac OSX 10.5.6) to work

Trying to get the network path set up for saving scans from the printer.....I've gone into the network (Ethernet, wired) configuration for the printer at its IP address from my MacBook Pro.
Under the setting where I create a network folder to store scans, I entered the network path to a folder on the mac, enabled file sharing, and entered my user name and password.
However, when I "Save and Test" (or Test and Save, whichever), it comes back saying the user name and password are incorrect.
Huh?
I've checked this a dozen times and also tried to prefix the user name with the machine name.
What's a little disconcerting is that the instructions on this Web page (for setting up the scan folder for the printer) say to enter the "Windows" user name and password. No mention of the Mac.
Not sure what's wrong.
I entered for the path:
\\MacBookPro\Users\Mork\temp
(temp is a valid folder)
I entered the user name and password I use to login to the machine
I then get the error.
Any ideas what's wrong?
I tried to use Mac paths with forward slashes, but the Website for the printer said this was an error right away.
(Confused).
Thanks.

The support for the scanning is built into the Mac. This link tells you how to do it.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c01627041/en_...
Go to the System Preferences under the apple menu.
Select Print & Fax
Open Scanner
Click Open Scanner
The last pull down menu on the left selects the folder. Change it to what you want and you don't have to worry about the network path and it will work!
To scan, click the scan button.
I tested it and it was such a relief to see the file appear in the folder. I hope this helps someone!

Linux client cannot write to folder he creates on Leopard server

Wrong OS - moved.
Message was edited by: WelshDog2

I'm trying to create a folder on the admin share (C$) of a Windows 7 domain client from a domain server as administrator and I get "You need permission to perform this action" If I do this on another server instead of a Win 7 client, it works.
The reason for this folder creation started when I'm trying to scan PCs in my domain through GFI Languard and I'm getting access denied. The tech support told me the reason for this is because it's trying to create a folder under Windows directory and it getting denied access. The account that's doing this is a domain admin account.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Cannot find mobilesync folder on my mac os

I've backed up my iphone several times and followed instructions on finding the sms backup files but cannot find the mobilesync folder for the life of me... It is simply not there it appears, not under the only user on the mac (both user name and the "shared") or in general Library folder...
Attached is a screenshot of the folders. Any ideas..?
Thanks for any help you can offer, I'm fairly novice Mac user having used PC's most of my life

Yo 'nycetouch'
In my perspective, I beleieve you are opening the Finder App from your Dock and seraching for /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Its imperative that you should be seraching in the GO option on the top.
If you are not able to find GO on the top. Quit all the opened applications to find the GO
or
Doulbe tap or double left click into the Desktop screen to find GO
Under GO click on Go to Folder, in that paste
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
In my case,
/Users/Boo/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.
It took me a while to find the GO option. I must work. Im eager to know how you are going.
JimHDK,
You are a life saver. Your instructions were really helpful.
Thanks again mate!!

The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.

Hello,
I cannot start iTunes. When I do, I get the following error message:
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. the default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.
I have reviewed and gone through the recommendations for this problem, including downloading the WindowsPowerToys Tweak UI. The problem is that the Tweak UI does not know that there is a My Music special folder, so Tweak UI was of no use.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to make my Dell (Dell doesn't know either) understand that I have "My Music" folder on my computer....so it can be seen in my Tweak UI application.
Thank you.
Tim

I have followed these instructions:
If the My Music folder is in the wrong location or incorrectly assigned in the Windows registry, you may see one of the following error messages:
* "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder."
* "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder."
If you see one of the above errors, follow these steps to troubleshoot this:
1. Verify the location of your Windows XP My Music folder. The default location for this folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
If you do not have this folder at the default location and have not moved it to another location, consider creating one inside your My Documents folder.
2. Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note: This utility is for Windows XP only. Please review the system requirements before installing.
3. Once you have installed Tweak UI, open it from the Start menu.
4. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders.
5. In the right pane on the Folderlist, click My Music.
* This is where I run into the problem. My Music does not show up in the *
* right pane pull down set of options. *
6. Click the Change Location button. You may see a warning message appear with precautions for changing this setting; after reviewing the message, click Yes.
7. In the resulting window, browse for the My Music folder as described in step 1, and click OK.
8. Reinstall or open iTunes.

'Contacts' folder with sub folder cannot be removed after synching via iTunes

'Contacts' folder with sub folder cannot be removed after synching via iTunes
I am trying to remove a 'Contacts' subfolder
ie Contacts < default folder
- Contacts Mysubfolder 1 < Trying to remove this subfolder folder
via my microsoft outlook onto my iPhone.
Despite not having 'Contacts Mysubfolder 1' on my PC's outlook after deleting it, it does not delete the subfolder in my iPhone.
I even restored my iPhone settings to the original via iTunes.
I also replaced my physical iPhone but still synching with my original Apple ID + iTunes on the same desktop.
All I did was after replacement of my iP, i setup my microsoft Exchange account, and there it was, the Contacts subfolder which is no longer around, appears on my iPhone contacts folder list.
My outlook is on Microsoft exchange and I am on iP 3Gs
Please help
Thank you

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 the 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.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

ITunes won't open -error: The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created...

Hello,
I am not able to open my iTunes. I was able to use it yesterday. I keep getting the message:
*The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.*
I have created a folder called "iTunes" in my "My Music" folder, which does not fix the problem.
I have uninstalled and installed iTunes twice.
I have used the repair option when trying to install iTunes over the top of my current iTunes.
None of these options has fixed the problem.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Rachel

I found the answer on another board... Below are the parts I found useful (quoted).
Click on Start
Clin on Run
Type in "regedit" Enter
Do this step twice as there are two locations. +(I actually had 4 locations.)+
CTRL F
Type in "My Music"
Double Click and enter the path for where the folder is located.
Then exit.
The exact locations of the 2 entries that I changed are
hkeycurrentuser - software - microsoft - windows - current version - explorer - shell folders
and
as above - windows - current version - explorer - USER shell folders
I located the location of my iTunes folder (something like this - C:\Documents and Settings\"yourname"\My Documents\My Music\iTunes.
I copied it, and when I found the regedit location referred to, doubleclicked the location and pasted the path in there.

I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.
