Windows File Sharing - Unable to copy/see files using MacBook from XP PC

I've trawled the internet for an answer to this and tried hundreds of little tweaks but all to not avail, so I'm here.
I've set up two shared folders using simple file sharing on a Windows XP (SP3) laptop. They have been given read/write permissions and were setup using an Administrator account (the only account).
Using Finder on my MacBook I can connect to the XP laptop and can see the shared folders. However, when I try to copy any file from the XP laptop's shared folders to my Macbook, it encounters an error (something about not having sufficient permissions). Also, if there are subfolders inside the main shared folder then I cannot see the individual files inside these subfolders.
I've tried using the XP laptop with and without a password, have disabled all anti-virus software (including Windows Firewall) and yet it still won't work.
After multiple restarts and changing options on both my MacBook and the XP laptop the same problem persits. Any light that can be shed would be most appreciated.

Hi - Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having pretty much the same issue!
Thanks,
Jacki

Read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi

My question is how to read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi .
My objective is to create a series of small avi files by using IMAQ AVI write frame with mpeg-4 codec of 2 second long (so 40 frames in each file with 20 fps ) and then send them one by one so as to create a stream of video. The image are grabbed from USB camera. If I read those frames using IMAQ AVI read frame then compression advantage would be lost so I want to read the whole file itself.
I read the avi file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and then sent to remote end and save it and then display it, however it didnt work. I later found that if I read an image file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and save it in local computer itself , the format would be changed and it would be unrecognizable. Am I doing wrong by reading the file in unsined 8 bit integer format or should I have used any other data types.
I am using Labview 8.5 and Labview vision development module and vision acquisition module 8.5
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

Hello,
Check out the (full) help message for "write to binary file"
The "prepend array or string size" input defaults to true, so in your example the data written to the file will have array size information added at the beginning and your output file will be (four bytes) longer than your input file. Wire a False constant to "prepend array or string size" to prevent this happening.
Rod.

I have tried to drag it and drop it into the album, but nothing works. it this a bug? When I created the album several years ago, I was able to copy and paste photos into it, but now when I try to copy and paste nothing happens. Again I ask, is this a bug?

Quick Time Hijacks Windows File Associations Only From Web Browsers

It took me 6 hours this morning to conclusively prove that Quick Time (latest version) isn’t playing well with web browsers on my Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine (nothing new here I guess).
I develop web sites which get their content from local hard or DVD/CD drives (as opposed to from the internet). All my Windows file associations for audio/video file types point to Windows Media Player (WMP) so that when one of my web pages looks for a file type of say .mpg or .mp3, WMP is opened and the file is played. Pretty straight forward and has worked fine for years.
Some time in the last few months (and I now strongly suspect after a Quick Time update) my browsers (all of them….. IE, Firefox, and Chrome) started opening Quick Time instead of WMP when my HTML goes to open any media file type. I’ve checked my Windows file associations which all still point to WMP. I also note that when I open one of my media files from a file utility such as Windows Explorer or my aftermarket file utility (as opposed to from a browser), they correctly open in WMP. So…….. its only from browsers that QT hijacks my intended media player.
In Internet Explorer I’ve gone to “Manage Add-Ons” and “disabled” Quick Time. This in fact causes QT not to be opened but instead a blank web page appears containing only the browser’s little error box with a big red X in it which usually means a picture file is missing…… WMP is not launched even though it is enabled in Manage Add-Ons and QT is disabled.
The only way I’ve found to fix this problem is to uninstall Quick Time in which case everything works fine. (My objection to Quick Time as my default media player is that even the latest version doesn’t reliably play video created for Windows file types.)
Can anyone tell me how to make Quick Time co-exist on my computer without hijacking my attempts to get at WMP from browsers?
The only reason Quick Time has existed on my computer in recent years is so I have access to iTunes. I’ve uninstalled both Quick Time and iTunes till I find a solution to this problem which means iTunes isn’t selling me anything in the mean time.

I'm having the same issue that Quicktime hijacks file associations.
I recently reinstalled my copy of Windows 7 64-bit and have installed basically hardly anything on it. I have however installed iTunes (+Quicktime) for my iPhone and Winamp (and not even loaded Windows Media Player).
Basically when I uninstall Quicktime, I can just type an url in the IE8 address bar with the .mp3 extension and download and save the file there and then. Only after installing Quicktime the browser will open the .mp3 in the window and play it embedded with the Quicktime player.
This is something I do NOT want, and I am really ****** off that Quicktime just takes over this feature without asking me first!!
That being besides the point really because I also cannot find the option in Quicktime's settings to undo this!!
When I go to Quicktime's settings -> Browser -> MIME types
It just shows that .mp3 is linked to Winamp (like I want it to be), but it still opens as a Quicktime Control Object.
Reinstalling IE8, resetting its settings, disabling the iTunes & Quicktime addons, even removing the Quicktime Control Object class from the registry... Nothing worked!

Accesing windows files using oracle unix external tables.

Hi, I'm trying to access files on windows2k using oracle external tables on unix:
Oracle server on unix: oracle ver. is 9.2.0.6 and OS is 5.8 Generic_117000-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire
1. Created dir object on oracle unix pointing to windows path
2. created user
3. Assigned read and write privs on dir to user
4. created external table using dir step 1
5. select on external table
When I FTP the files into unix and recreate dir object, it works, but if I point dir object into windows path, it fails.
Is possible to do this?
Tks
GAP

Hi
The directory object must be accesible to your Database server, so if the Database is in unix you must create the directory in unix.
I don´t know software that allow unix systems to see a windows file system. Maybe windows can see unix from a samba server or NFS.

Windows File Share configuration from AIX Portal

Hi,
we want to connect a Windows file share as KM Repository to a portal running on AIX.
The network path is configured using jCIFS and user (DOMAIN.NET\USERNAME) is entered with password. The corresponding path is also entered in the FS Repository manager using ACLSecurity manager. A Windows System is not configured .
In the repository managers monitoring view our new repository manager shows a green button. In the KM however, it is not visible. The portal log shows the following error:
"Cannot retrieve credentials from URL for file 'DOMAIN.NET; USERNAME/' "
We tried to connect the file share with the same user/password. This worked fine.
Is there something else to configure ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Marcus

Hi,
the problem was the passwort. Using "?, %" or other special characters interpreted in a URL may not be used.
After changing password to a alphanumeric everything works just fine.

I have several firefox "temp" files in my Windows file (using Vista). Most are .txt files. Can I delete them?

Most are titled as KB2898...

Things like [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24941 KB975929] are Microsoft Updates.
To get rid of temporary files that haven't been cleaned up, exit all applications, then right-click the Start Menu shortcut for Disk Cleanup and choose Run as Administrator.
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup Delete files using Disk Cleanup | Microsoft Support]
If you need to delete temporary files manually, make note of the "Date modified" property so that you don't accidentally delete files that are still needed.

Sharing a "Flattened" copy of a fillable PDF from a mobile device - Reader App

Ever since the latest iOS update, our fillable reader extended PDF's are not working properly in the Reader App. I created fillable forms and save as a "reader extended" file. When we open the file on the Reader App, we can fill in the form and sign, but when we go to email the form it attaches the blank form to an email. It does not offer the "Share Original" or "Flatten copy" option before going into the email. We use this feature for mobile devices to sign contracts on site vs. going on a laptop. If I open a normal PDF file, a non fillable form, I can email the original or flattended copy from the reader app but this is not needed on a normal PDF. How can I share the flattened copy of a fillable form from the reader app on the iPhone/iPAD? Is this issue going to be resolved or are there settings I need to change in the PDF file before saving it for reader extended?

Thank you for reporting the issues with Reader Extended PDFs.
"when we go to email the form it attaches the blank form to an email. It does not offer the "Share Original" or "Flatten copy" option before going into the email."
As you mentioned, Reader for iOS version 11.2 does not offer the E-mail Document dialog with the two options for Reader Extended PDFs. We will investigate if this is a new defect that was accidentally introduced in Reader 11.2.
Regarding the other issue, please note that a PDF form that is sent as "Original" does not become a blank form.
The problem is that many non-Adobe PDF viewers, such as Apple Mail (the default email app on iOS) preview feature, Apple iBooks, Apple Preview for Mac OS X (desktop), do not render form fields or comments correctly.
A workaround is to make sure to open an "Original" (non-flatten) PDF document in Adobe Reader. For example, an email recipient (who views your "Original" PDF form in Apple Mail on iOS) can long press (press and hold) the preview of the PDF form and select Open in Adobe Reader.
We will get back to you on the issue with the E-mail Document dialog soon.

Windows 2012 R2 - Unable active license key by using KMS or MAK - Urgent ( AD Domain Server )

Hi Guys
I did install windows server 2012 and promoted as AD domain to serve with production environment, unfortunately
I unable active windows using for MAK or KMS . " That Key can't be used to activate windows on this PC --it can only be used to set up a key management service. Contact your system administrator or try a different key"
Any Advice ?
Best Regards
Darren

It sounds like the key you are trying to use is for setting up a KMS, not for activating a windows server station.
If you want to use a KMS, use the following key:

Also be sure to create the service record for the KMS in DNS:

Officejet Pro 8500 Premier: How do I force the Copy function to use paper from Tray 2?

I set the default tray to Tray 2 and locked Tray 1 to protect my envelopes and this works fine when printing from the computer. But when I copy a document using the START COPY button, the printer pulls from Tray 1 and complains about the media being the wrong size.
When I use the printers control panel to set the Copy function to use Tray 2, it resets itself to Tray 1 the next time I copy something.
Surely I am not the only one in the Universe who would want to configure my printer to do this.
Has anyone else out there tried this?
Also, is there a specific forum for the Officejet Pro 8500 series printers?

Hi
Hope you're still checking this
I had the same problem but found that if you go to the copy menu through the touchscreen, change the tray to tray 2 and then scroll to the very bottom there is an option to "Set as new default". This also changes the default for the Start Copy buttons - at least it did for me anyway.
Good luck

File sharing - unable to copy photo folder

Hi!
I'm using File Sharing to connect my iMac to my mother's iMac.
I'm trying to copy a folder called "Mom Photos" (sub-folder of the main Pictures folder) to my computer. I created a user name and password on her iMac that I use to login from my iMac. Once logged in, when I click on the "Mom Photos" folder and try to copy and paste it on my computer, I see the following error message: "The items on the Clipboard can't be pasted to this location. One or more of the items may have been deleted or are no longer available."
When I created my user name on her iMac, I set the privileges to "Read and Write."
If I open the "Mom Photos" folder and select all the individual sub-folders within, copy and paste them to a folder on my iMac, I see the following message: "One or more items can't be copied to "Pictures" because you don't have permission to read them, Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
Thank you for any help!

Not being able to copy the folder itself would suggest that it has some other file, probably hidden, that is stopping the procedure. You could go up one level and perform the same action, but if this next level up is the Pictures folder then it might be best not to do this as the iPhoto library is also included within the Pictures folder.
One possible workaround would be to create yet another folder within the Pictures folder and then copy the "Mom Photos" folder inside this. Then when you do the Apply to Enclosed Items for this new folder, the "Mom's Photos" folder should now be available to copy.
If this still doesn't help then there is a Terminal command called change mode (chmod) that can be used to change the permissions on this folder. This would require to be on your mums iMac and to use her account, as you will need to authenticate to complete the task. It would be best if you can complete the operation without using Terminal but if using the GUI doesn't succeed then Terminal may be your next best option.

If you haven't figured the migration out already, you may want to check out this thread:

It looks like the path to take from everything I'm seeing, but if you've found a friendlier solution I'd be happy to give it a shot!

Calling Windows File Open Dialog from Forms

Has anyone used the File Open Dialog of MS-Windows from within
forms? How do you invoke it and how do you pass arguements (in
and out) to communicate with it?

GET_FILE_NAME built-in
Description
Displays the standard open file dialog box where the user can
select an existing file or specify a new file.
Syntax
FUNCTION GET_FILE_NAME
(directory_name VARCHAR2,
file_name VARCHAR2,
file_filter VARCHAR2,
message VARCHAR2,
dialog_type NUMBER,
select_file BOOLEAN;
Built-in Type unrestricted function
Returns VARCHAR2
Enter Query Mode yes
Parameters
directory_name
Specifies the name of the directory containing the file you want
to open. The default value is NULL. If directory_name is NULL,
subsequent invocations of the dialog may open the last directory
visited.
file_name
Specifies the name of the file you want to open. The default
value is NULL.
file_filter
Specifies that only particular files be shown. The default
value is NULL. File filters take on different forms, and
currently are ignored on the motif and character mode
platforms. On Windows, they take the form of Write Files
(*.WRI)|*.WRI| defaulting to All Files (*.*)|*.*| if NULL.
On the Macintosh the attribute currently accepts a string such
as Text.
message
Specifies the type of file that is being selected. The default
value is NULL.
dialog_type

READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'TIFF', 'block5.imagefld);
END;

Reading a windows file using UTL_FILE with database on linux

Database: 9.2 on RH AS 2.1 Linux
I have an application which is running on a windows PC which reads the files on different PC's on the windows network and processes the data and deletes the files. I am thinking of moving the application to the database to reduce a point of failure for our application.
Has any one tried using UTL_FILE to access the files on the Windows Network using SAMBA ??? Are there any limitations in Oracle on Linux with regards to accessing Samba Mounts' ??
Thanks in advance
Purush

Purush, you should really ask this question in the Database Forums instead of here in the Forms Forum.
