Saving Files to the Network with the CCPCS Macbooks

Students must save all their files to their personal drives on the network. Any documents saved to the hard drives will be hard to retrieve, if they are not lost altogether.

Saving student (and teacher) work to the server is different for Mac and Windows computers.

Accessing the Network on the Macbooks

On a school-owned Mac, the server should mount the correct server automatically upon login.

To navigate to the server, open a Finder window and noticed that under "Shared" in the left-hand navigation bar, "abbott.ccpcs.org" (for the Lower School) or "costello.ccpcs.org" (for the Upper School) is listed.

If the server does not mount automatically, follow the instructions at the end of this post.

Saving to the Network on the Macbooks

In Word or similar applications, go to Files > Save As when you want to save to the network. The following pop-up box should appear:

Students MUST NOT click save at this screen. Instead follow these directions:

1. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Save as box.
2. In the dropdown, choose the Costello Server under Shared, then navigate to Students > Student Username.

Manually Connecting to Servers

If you do not see "Abbott" or "Costello" under shared in your Finder window, you will have to manually connect to the server using these steps.

1. In a Finder window, selecting "Connect to Server" under the top menu item "Go"
2. Input:  smb://costello (at the Upper School) and smb://abbott (at the Lower School)
3. You will be prompted to log in and then select a share.  
4. After this, "costello" or "abbott." should show up in the Finder window under Shared.
