10.6.4 won't drop windows SMB shares after  I leave network

I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook with 2Gb SDRAM running 10.6.4 and I'm having difficulty getting rid of old SMB windows shares from the finder sidebar once I leave the network. The darn things stick around no matter what. When I rejoin the network they work just like they should.
Any help would be appreciated,
Stephen

Sorry to bump a thread guys, but I haven't been able to solve anything. Google hasn't been any help this time around. I truly am stuck!

  • Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?

    Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?   We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders.  This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both.  I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.

  • Mac OS X Mountain Lion randomly disconnects from a Windows SMB share

    First le t me say that I am still trying to diagnose if this is a hardware or software issue.  But I figured I would start here.  I work in a mixed environment with Mac's and PC's and all working together with no issues.  I deployed this Mac about 6 months ago to production.  The person using this Mac recently has been complaining of the Mac disconnecting from a Windows SMB share at random times.  The server is running Windows Server 2008R2 and has been running for 3 years.  I have other Macs on the same network connecting to it with varying operating systems ranging from 10.6 to 10.8.  None of the other Mac's are experiencing this same issue.  So I know it is isolated to this Mac.  I was wondering if there might be something in the software like a setting that needs changed that might be causing this.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    I have renamed my pc and everything is ok with the file sharing SMB. Both my iMac and my pc can share files very easily.

  • Can't access smb shares after 10.9.5 upgrade

    After the upgrade to 10.9.5 (from 10.9.4) I can not anymore access my smb shares on a NAS server (Thecus N3200PRO) dispite the upgrade says that it "improves the reliability of accessing files located on an SMB server". It had the exact opposite effect with my system.
    The NAS server is visible, but after I log in no files or folders are shown (finder window is empy). Also to disconnect the smb share it takes much longer than usual.
    To access it with cifs protocol does not help, neither.
    Also the workaround by Reinfire (Michael Larson in Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade, to use smb1 instead of the upgrade) does not help at all.
    Any solution out there?
    -- thanks

    hi there,
    just a wild guess, but have you tried to connect via Terminal?
    /sbin/mount_smbfs //userid:password@ip-of-server/name-of-share
    or
    /sbin/mount_smbfs //userid:password@dns_name-of-server/name-of-share
    You need to have administrative privileges on your Mac to execute said command successfully.
    For additional information you can enter (while in Terminal):
    man mount_smbfs
    and
    man nsmb.conf
    Glad to hear the problem is solved

  • Windows SMB shares not showing in finder

    hi,
    i'm using 10.5.8 on a powermac G5 in the office and recently experienced some difficulties regarding SMB shares. there are two Win XP 32bit machines in the office network, one Win 7 64bit machine and the powermac.
    1) usually, the powermac could see and access all three windows machines via finder's sidebar. that stoped working some weeks ago. none of the three PCs shows up in the sidebar now. when i use finder's "connect to server" feature, the connection is established without problems. network printing to one of the XP machines also works fine. the mac's firewall settings where set to “Set access for specific services and applications” all the time, showing AFP and SMB shares enabled. just out of curiosity, i deactivated the firewall… and voila: my three PCs showed up in the finder sidebar again. changed it back… no PCs there
    what's that? why did it work before, with the firewall enabled, and all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore and i have to shut down the firewall, to see my windows shares?
    2) for some time it was sufficient that i could access the windows shares from my mac. now my colleagues needed to access the mac from their windows machines. as they do not need to have access to my entire home folder, i added the relevant (sub)folder from my documents folder via SMB guest sharing, setting the access rights to "read&write" for everyone, so that no password was needed for guests accessing that folder. however, all three windows machines could only see the standard public folder with its drop box, but not the newly added folder. experimented for over an hour or so, changing settings, trying to add other folders… until i found out, that the folder will only show up on the windows network, when it's located on the top level of my home folder, but not, if it's located in a subfolder (i.e. in documents, music, etc.)
    is this meant to be that way? or am i doing something wrong?

    If this is still driving you crazy...
    I had the same problem and by figuring out which machine was the Master Browser I managed to fix it. I have a Windows 7 system and it had taken over as the Master Browser (probably because I had to rebuild my Mac). I disabled the Computer Browser service on the W7 computer and a 2003 server in my network automatically took over as the Master Browser. All of the Windows machines immediately appeared under Shared Items on my Mac sidebar.
    I followed the instructions from:
    http://robmulally.blogspot.com/2009/03/macbook-master-browser-and-my-mate.html
    - on how to figure out which machine is the Master Browser in the network. The link came from a different discussion on the same issue (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1877116?start=0&tstart=0). There are also instructions (although somewhat vague) on how to make your Mac the Master Browser.
    I hope this is of some help.

  • Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade

    Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and can no longer connect to our SMB file share on the network.  Several of us have tried connecting to it on this machine and all we get is
    There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx.domain.com".
    You do not have permission to access this server.
    Anyone else having this problem? 

    I have been searching high and low since yesterday afternoon for an answer to this.  My problem is not connecting to an SMB share (well, it was, as the old Cmd+K to connect to the SMB share would close quickly) but instead of the old Mac way of using Cmd+K and the IP address, I simply clicked on the available NAS SMB share under Shared and it is a massively fast connection.  The old SMB connection would take minutes to open the next folder. So, connecting as you would under Windows helped fix that problem, BUT...
    1.  The NAS SMB share times out regularly and you have to eject & reconnect.  Annoying.
    2.  Worse than this is I can not open any documents on the share, only navigate it.  I have to copy paste the documents to my local ssd, manipulate, copy back.  Any new file I copy on, or edit and copy on, the NAS SMB share I can navigate to and open.  But if I try to click a pre-Mavericks existing file, I get "Can not open 'excel/word/acrobat.app' with the -36" error.  Total BS. 
    3.  Even more weird, if I click spacebar on ANY file on the SMB Share it will pop up in preview.  Double click to open and error message.
    4.  If I copy a document attached to an email (Outlook 2011) to the server it is corrupt.  If I copy the file to local ssd, then to the NAS SMB, the same file works perfectly fine. 
    This is completely ridiculous and needs a fix immediately.  I'm going to try using Reinfire's link right now and see if that helps. 
    My NAS is a Netgear ReadyNAS 516 (linux/unix OS) I use in my office.  Computer is MBPr March 2013.    

  • Re-connecting SMB shares after sleep or standby?

    I have searched the forums for an answer but no real solution have been found yet, maybe you can help?
    Iäm currently using my Mac Mini in a Windows 2003 Server network. It's a workgroup and there is only one server. I have two shares on the Win2003 Server that I connect to from the Mac using the regular SMB "Connect to server" procedure. The shares mounts fine and everything is accessible, both read/write on NTFS.
    Now, I have set my Mac to go to sleep after 1 hour of inactivity. When I wake it up, the SMB share mounts are gone so I need to manually reconnect them. I have an Applescript that I doubleclick on that reconnects the shares, again all without errors. I ususally don't shutdown the Mini via Apple-Shutdown but rather just by quickly pressing the powerbutton on the back of the mini for standby, when waking up the shares are gone.
    Is it possible to "hard mount" the shares so they stay accessible after sleep, like they do in WinXP for instance?
    I´ve read about "automount" but it only seems to address auto-login scripts and I have no problem with mounting at login. Someone mentioned that it's possible to create an alias to the shares and place them in the right hand side of the dock and that should make the shares auto-mount when clicked, how is that done exactly?
    The simple solution would be to disable sleep and to always shutting down the Mini, but the instant wake-up is so useful that I really don´t want to wait for it to get ready.
    Any suggestions and tips are welcome, thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Regarding questions 1-3:
    1-2 Yes.
    3. Yes, and same error shows up directly after launching puNetDaemon.
    I didn't have the share's login stored in keychain because I was using a script that provided the login, thanks for pointing that out. I have made sure to connect to the share via Finder and to tick "store in keychain" and the share (E$) now connects automatically via Finder >> Go >> Connect to Server.
    But I still get the same error. I have posted my ch.pusoft.txt below:

  • No connection from XI3.0 to smb share after lost of connection

    Hi Forum,
    we got issues with XI 3.0 after disconnection of
    a smb share.
    The smb share is located on a UNIX machine with the opensource fileserver SAMBA 3.x running on it. After a disconnect of the WAN link to the UNIX maschine XI has to be restarted to reconnect to the smb share.
    Question:
    - Is this problem of XI?
    - Could this be a problem of the SAMBA deamon?
    - anything else?
    This behavior isnt acceptable because we have do this manual . Are there any hints to solve this issue?
    thx
    Andre

    What does it mean? The smb share is a permanent mount?! Do I have to configure this in XI?
    thx
    Andre

  • Mac on Windows SMB Share- IDLK files disappearing allowing several users to access the same file

    Hi,
    We have a volume licensing agreement with Adobe and have around 16 Adobe CS6 licenses all used on Macs. The network is based around Windows servers and shares which the Macs connect to via an SMB connection to the server. The issue we're having is that when an InDesign file is opened, sometimes it will not create an IDLK file (or sometimes it will create one but it will disappear seconds later) and it allows several people to view the same file at the same time. Obviously two or more people working on the same file can, will and has caused issues with overwriting documents without knowledge of doing so.
    Has anyone else encountered this or have any ideas as to what might help us resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    When you open a file from a previous version (you'll see converted in
    the file name) there is no CS6 file in existence, yet. Once the file is
    saved as a CS6 file, the lock file is created. The whole procedure is
    designed so that you must make a fully conscious decision to overwrite
    the old version file with a new one.
    This is no different than creating a new document that hasn't been saved
    yet.

  • Curious NetBios over TCP/IP issues and Windows SMB shares

    Hi all.
    I've got two Win 2003 R2 SP2 member servers on our AD domain. Each has shared network folders on them which are accessed by both Windows and Mac users.
    Both servers - lets call them ALPHA and BETA - are identically setup: same hardware, configuration etc. but exist on different subnets.
    Alpha has never had a problem with Mac clients connecting to any of its shares.
    Beta has, up until recently, only ever had Windows clients, but now has a couple of Snow Leopard Mac clients. When a Mac client attempts to connect via SMB or CIFS to any share on Beta - they get the prompt to authenticate and then "Connection Failed. There was an error connecting to the server Beta. Check the server name or IP address and then try again". Of course the same thing happens when I try to connect by IP.
    Curiously, the only way I can get Mac clients to connect to shares on Beta is to go into the network adapter settings on Beta, advanced, WINS and then disable NetBios over TCP/IP. Unfortunatley this breaks some unrelated stuff and I eventually have to go back in and set NetBios back to Default (enabled) and the whole thing screws up again in a few hours time again for my beloved Mac users.
    The other server Alpha never gives me any problem with Mac clients, and as I say, they are setup identically. I have been testing this with 10.6.3 clients, not sure if my 10.5 or 10.4 clients are affected.
    Can anyone offer some suggestions as to why my shares aren't accessible to my Mac clients on both servers?

    Generally it is the browser service that populates network neighborhood. This technology is no longer used with newer OS like server 2008, windows 7/8.

  • Windows SMB Shares, OS 10.4.10, Renames folders

    We have several Macs here with 10.4.10, all connected to a SBS 2003 domain. SMB Signing is turned off, and until recently, we had no issues. Now when we browse the network shares off the server and select a folder, then change folders in the same column, it renames all the folders in between to the previously selected folder name. Anything you place in whatever the next folder you selected will no be uploaded to the server. If you back up one folder, then go back in, all the folders are correctly named, and you can upload files again.
    This seems to be an issue on the Mac, not the server, and I have yet been unable to get any information online pertaining to this issue. Any insight you may provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Not certain this will help, but it's cured a few weird OSX<->PC file/folder problems, and people generally use 25 instead of the 15 mentioned...

  • Best method: Browsing windows/smb shares cli or gui

    Just wondering what everyone uses.  I just have a few scripts that I wrote to mount my network drives on my network, but when I'm on campus I would like to browse the subnet in the engineering department.  Eventually I'll probably just map the share folder for students, but it's still nice to be able to browse.
    CLI is preferable, but I'm not opposed to GUI if it gets the job done without a fuss.  I'm running KDEmod latest and arch x86 fully updated.
    I've installed g2sc and smb4k (latter doesn't work in kdemod apparently).  g2sc seems like it will work with a little configuration.
    On g2sc it doesnt' prompt for authentication when I click on network/WORKGROUP...........though I can authenticate with my mount cifs scripts quite easily using my Windows share credentials.
    Last edited by DarksideEE7 (2009-09-19 04:28:41)

    Thanks for the info, but I know how to mount shares...........I wrote scripts for all of my network drives on my network (for example)
    sudo mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASSWORD //192.168.0.255/SHARE /mnt/RAID5
    What I'm looking for is a good way to browse resources if you don't know the IP addresses or share names of the servers running the shares.  In our engineering network we have Linux and Windows shares AFAIK, and elsewhere on the wireless it would be nice to browse other resources, such as the computing department (downloading MS Office, etc.)
    I authenticate using my student credentials, so if there are profiles and/or global settings I could use those credentials.....
    EDIT:
    That article links some info on smbclient...........I have a feeling that is the best solution, since it's CLI and straightforward.
    smbclient works great, but I need to figure out which switch allows to list all available shares on the subnet......if anyone knows before I find it in the man pages or elsewhere I'd appreciate the advice

  • T60 won't resume windows xp properly after standby and hibernation - shows only blank desktop

    Hi
    I've got aT60 195CTO which is still just in warrantee that when I hibernate or standby the laptop and when i resume it'll ask for a password after the normal wait but then it'll just sit there show desktop background with no icons etc and periodically show hardrive activity but nothing happens, the touch pad pointer works ok but nothing else, even ctrl alt del failed to do anything, have downloaded and installed all xp updates inc sp3 as well as thinkvantage updates everytime this happens i'm forced to shut down computer by holding power button and restarting this is very annoying and always has the possibility of loosing work.
    There appears to be two power management schemes in operation?, one running under xp and the other under thinkvantage - not sure if there is a conflict here? I have tried going into hibernation by closing the lid, fn-F12, xp's shutdown menu and entering hibernation from the thinkvantage menu all with same final result.
    I have found a number of other postings on the net about this same problem but but apart from reloading the os which failed to solve the problem no other advice appears to be available.
    would really appreciate any advice from anyone who knows how to solve this problem.
    Regards
    Paul

    No Not really had some success though completely uninstalled graphics card software and reloaded new software also found out that it was the XP wireless software was doing something when connected to my school network so quick fix was turn wireless off then log into computer then turn wireless back on to resolve this cause I always forgot to turn it off I set up the lenovo wireless manager this worked and will only periodically do it (though I never really turn my computer off unless upgrading etc and sometimes it clogs up) another problem with mine was the battery could have been a issue cause I never turned it off and let it discharge (I wouldn't t recommend doing that unless battery is in warranty) first time I did discharge it it would not recharge so I may have had a faulty battery heard about the non-rechargeable coin battery maybe another member could confirm that? This could have been contributing to the issue
    Hopes this gives u a variety of solutions to try help desk at lenovo had no idea when I told them about it and couldn't do much but tell me to update bios if it continues I suggest u ask it to be looked at and before warranty expires
    Just received new 9 cell battery today will update to see if that was the issue 

  • Snow Leopard Not Correctly Reconnecting to SMB Shares after Network Interruption

    Occasionally, my wireless connection will drop for a fraction of a second. When it comes back up (almost immediately), everything works as normal on my MacBook (Snow Leopard) except for the connections to the shares I have on my Windows 7 box. It shows the root folders and items as it should, but the folders are empty (and even labelled "no items"). Ejecting and attempting to reconnect doesn't work at all (Finder simply hangs). And to make things stranger, the drive I have shared from my Linux box (via SMB also) does actually reconnect properly. This also happens if, for some reason, I need to reboot my Windows box. The only solution I've found is to reboot the Mac. Which, as you might imagine, is a pain if you're in the middle of something. Any clues as to how to address this?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Renew your lease. Also try resetting the IP's. And unplud the router for a bit and restart it.
