• Why the owner listed in the changing properties of file on our shared drive?

  I'm going to create a file from my computer (let's say is assigned the name "USERS/Person1") and save my company shared drive.  Let's say that others who have access to the shared drive can open the file from another computer, to save the changes to the file using their computer and even move the file to a different location in the same shared drive.  When I return to the properties of the file under 'Détails', sometimes 'owner' is still listed as "USERS/Person1" and sometimes he changed to someone else as "USERS/person2.

  I want to be able to search all the files I created showing the category of 'Owner' as a column in a window of browser windows and sorting so that all files of USERS/Person1 will appear together.  I can't be sure that I am looking for a complete list of the USERS/Person1 if there is a process that is reassign the owner without my knowledge.  I've experimented in opening a file that I know I created originally (which now showed "USERS/person2" as the "owner") and recording a change for her.  The name of the owner has not changed to USERS/person2.  I also know that the USERS/person2 does not manually go and change the permissions of file for that particular file attribute itself as the 'owner '.  I think it's a process making users who, unbeknownst to us, change the ownership of the file.  Yes - What causes a modification that is designated as the "owner" in the properties of the file?

  I actually thought about it myself...

  Files are sometimes the owner of the owner of the FOLDER.  So just create a new folder of computer USERS/Person1, move all the files in the old folder that has been created/corrupted to show the USERS/person2 as owner, and then the new folder with all the old files now in it will show USERS/Act.1 as the owner under file properties.  Keeps all the date created, modified files, other information properties the same (except for the new folder, of course, that has a new date of creation).  Thus, it keeps all the other info, but puts the appropriate property so you can finally pick up in person!

  Not a complete solution.  And still no response as to what process actually happen in the first place...  But at least now I can easily fix a set of files very quickly (without making attempts to open each file, make a change, re-register and then have even not reflect the new owner because the control record had the wrong user listed).
  Boo - Yes!

• Import XML Path to the files on the shared drive windows on Mac?

  Hi, I am looking to configure our xml file that will be imported in InDesign on MAC to point to a folder image shared on our windows network.  I can connect a drive and get to them manually but not sure of the path of reference href xml in the xml file.

  Here is the part of the xml file with a link that works when you point to the applications folder on a MAC but first pointing (href = "file:///app1/updates/2,jpg") network windows does not work.  Tried different variations, but can't seem to get.  When run script, she invites to indicate the file and only open the updates folder itself then when select file manually, it does not matter, but want it to just "automatic formatting".

  This error indicates that an application is using this file at this point here. If you are unable to remove it, restart your computer and then try to delete it.

  IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE above METHOD, THEN TRY to USE UNLOCKER, a free application that disables the application using the file that you want to delete.
  Download unlocker from here-http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
  Click on the above link and click on download the newer version on the right side of the screen.
  Download UNLOCKER from the link given above and install it. (you may need to restart the computer)
  Right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click unlocker.
  A new window opens showing all applications using this file.
  Select all files, and then click on unblock.
  Now right-click on the file you want to delete, and then click on remove.
  YOUR FILE WILL BE DELETED SUCCESSFULLY.
  If you are still unable to delete that file and unlocker shows no application, then follow these steps-
  Right-click on the file you want to delete and click unlocker.
  A small window will appear.
  In the drop-down list, choose delete, and then click ok.

• NAS hard drive not accessible more: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

  Dear,

  I am desperately looking for a solution for my specific problem how access my NAS.

  I have a hard drive from Western Digital NAS (Book Live) which worked fine until now. Yet, I just changed my internet provider and I now have a new Fritzbox 6360. Now, I can not access the hard disk of the commune of programs in Windows. I contacted two suppliers already, but without success. I think I have some incorrect settings in my Windows 7, 64 bit. This is the situation:

  -NAS is still working with my old Fritzbox, for testing that I went back-> ok

  -I can access the NAS via the dashboard or a TwonkyServer-> ok

  -When I access it via Windows Explorer, I wonder is to give my credentials (which don't work) or I get the error message: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

  -J' changed my IP address (dynamic even static) and connections, password-> without success.

  -J' tried SFC with the result that found no violation of integrity. -> ok.

  Any idea?

  Can you please turn off the NAS, unplug the cable and Ethernet cable? Wait about 2 minutes then plug all the cables back in. Any security program or firewall to this computer? Try disabling it for now.

  You have another PC or laptop which has Windows 7/8 and try to access the NAS?

  You have a smartphone or a Tablet and download an application for the WD NAS and then try to access files.

• Cannot open the files from the shared network drive

  Hi, I am trying to open a file located on a server of storage attached to the network in a shared drive. When I try to open the file in Photoshop CC 2014 directly or by double-clicking in the file Explorer, I get a pop-up box in Photoshop that says that the image of CR2 is not the right kind of document. If I copy the file to another USB drive attached, the file opens correctly in Camera Raw.

  This will give you tangentially more insight in the work through a network to NOT be supported by Adobe:

  This is the standard text often used for saving to a network (NOTE the part where he explains that normally, it works, but it is impossible to solve someone else on the network remotely, and that's why he didn't is not supported by Adobe):

  If you open files on a network, or saved on a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the case where you currently have problems with one or more files. On a network is not supported.

  See:

  http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/406/kb406793.html

  Copy the local file CLOSED your server hard disk, work on it, again to save it on your local hard drive, close it and copy the closed file on the server.
   
  Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support work on a network does not necessarily mean that it doesn't work.  It should be.

  Adobe position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to ensure that everything will work properly in all systems, particularly in view of the fact that that something will not work properly, it is probably the fault of the network, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting of your network.

  If you are unable to work locally, you are yourself, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you work from a server, make sure that your network administrator is a competent professional.

  When problems arise, much valuable work can be lost.

• How can I protect a file with a password?

  Original title: password

  Please, tell me how can I protect a file with password, folder, a CD, or a DVD. Is there a suitable and reliable and verified software? Please, give me web comments on sites where to find necessary software. I need in order if my CD or DVD discs will be stolen by a stranger or to reach people I did not trust. I need only for private use. You see, I don't have an iron safely to the place I live. I hope that you will understand me. Thank you in advance. John

  Hello, Tommy Stanley. I realized from your questions that you can imagine that I will earn money selling the CD protected by word or DVD discs telling buyers the password. No, I'm not a sales man. Only for me on the extreme case, that my disks will be stolen or to reach people, I do not trust. I guess that to set a password that is easier then encrypt disks. But I wonder to know how to encrypt CD or DVD discs and that means encrypted drive. Through what she may be to read? Please, I explain my situation (I live in time with people that I don't have confidence). Please, give me some reliable advice concerning my question. Now, for me it very seriously. I hope you understood me. Thank you in advance, Shenan Stanley.

  I think you read things in my simple questions that weren't there.  I asked because if it is stored on a single computer/use on one computer by one person - the solutions are simpler and more readily available than if you plan to send this information to someone else so that they treat.

  I recommend you read this:
  http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000705.htm

  If this isn't a shared computer... (It is yours, you can use only.)

  I suggest that you see if you can lock the computer closed (with a physical cable/lock).  You add a password to your system SETUP or BIOS so that no one can change the settings of operating system and maybe even a STARTUP password so it can not even start without enter you a password.  Also change the BIOS settings so that it will only start from the hard drive installed in the machine.  With the Setup/BIOS password, you can change back to something later.

  AxCrypt and TrueCrypt are free and good encryption tools.

  Regarding the CD/DVD - you don't encrypt the media - you encrypt everything you would write for them and you will probably need to copy off the power and check that the files on them are not read-only before you can decrypt in most cases.

  By the way - physical security outweighs almost all other types of security.  Which means you need to physically secure the computer before you bothder same thing with another.  Locking the computer case closed and adding the password after changing startup opportunities, I would consider good physical security in your case.

• Windows 7 sharing drive not accessible in Vista

  We just bought a new Dell with Windows 7 Pro 660 office.

  On the same local network, we have a Dell under Vista Home Premium laptop.

  On the unity of Win7, we shared a call from external drive DriveG.

  The Vista labtop cannot access DriveG even if we use the Login and the password.

  The system says that it cannot connect us.

  We have two computers in the same workgroup. Both are connected to the same router/modem.

  Note that the drive on the Vista laptop is accessible by the Office of Win7. The reverse does not work.

  I checked that the Win7 use HOMEGROUP (which isn't good that between Win7 computers.

  Can anyone suggest what to do?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Please note that our previous computer was an Xp and that the Xp and Vista computers share the same drive without effort.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  1. What is the full error message do you get?

  I suggest you follow the given steps and later a update on the State of the question.

  Method 1: Troubleshoot file and printer sharing: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-file-and-printer-sharing

  Method 2: The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

  Disable the antivirus software:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Cannot connect to the shared drive?

  Hey,.

  I have this shared drive. I'm unable to open a session. I have the drive on the mode of account and the account I want to connect to is say (see photo). I tried to make a new account. I triple check that I was typing in the correct thing. but still not connect if anyone can help that would be great!

  

  I hope this helps. Thank you!

  To use the option "with accounts" to share a drive connected to an AirPort base station, this drive MUST be formatted in HFS +. It will NOT work for disks formatted in FAT32, ExFAT, or NTFS.

  If you already have the drive formatted in HFS +, then you need create user accounts in order for users to access the shared drive. This is NOT the same as the user's Windows login account. When you use AirPort Utility to share this record with the accounts, you should have the opportunity to complete the list of accounts. You add individual user names and password and choose the level of access to this list. Did you do that?

  If so, then to access Windows 10, start the file Explorer. In the location field, type: \ < IP address of the base station >, then press < enter >.

  Now, you will be prompted for a user name and password. Enter a name of user and password combination you created earlier, and then click OK.
