AFP Volume Drop - Dismiss OK?

We have a MacPro running 10.9.2 Server - 9 gigs of ram all latest OS and Apps version - Local Box.
We mount a remote AFP Volume (X-Serve in a data center - 9 gigs of ram all latest OS and Apps versions)
We Import data from remote volume into FileMaker on the Local Box.
We have sporatic network drops, this causes the remote volume to unmount and generates a Error Dialogue box on the Local box that requires me to select OK before the Volume can be remounted.
This finder error dialogue box prevents my remounting applscript from auotomatically remounting the remote volume with this applescript.....:((
tell application "Finder"
          try
                    mount volume "afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.123/Name of files"
          end try
end tell
Is there a way to SUPRESS this diaglogue or automatically CLICK OK so my applescript can automatically remount the remote volume?
Peace!

Did you check the expression on the channel strip to see what it is set to? In many software instruments, expression controls the input level. Maybe expression is being sent by one of your knobs on your hardware accidentally, or you have some on screen object mapped to send expression. In the first case, you can check by leaving midi monitor open and spying on the input, to see if expression is being sent at any point...

Backing up to AFP volume

I'm working on getting TIme Machine to back up to my Ubuntu file server running AFP, but it is not cooperating. Every time I do the sparsebundle trick, and even the plist file, I get nothing, and instead get the 45 error.
Does anyone know if Time Machine to AFP volume is still supported on Snow Leopard, and how I might find a solution?

Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or a drive running Leopard or Snow Leopard on another Mac on the same local network. It will often back-up to a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme, but even that is, technically, unsupported, and may require running a special Terminal command to make it work.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some hardware or "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
From a post in another forum (found by V.K.):
The technical reason why Apple limits Time Machine to 10.5 AFP volumes appears to be to prevent disk image corruption. There were additional features added to AFP in 10.5 to support Time Machine. These presumably allow the disk image engine to force disk image journal data to write out all the way to the disk. Without such features, a network interruption can result in a corrupted filesystem on the disk image despite journaling. Remember, journaling relies on the journal being written all the way to disk before the changes take place. If you can't guarantee that (e.g., because of network/NAS buffering) then the journal is useless. Time Machine appears to rely heavily on disk journaling to deal with network drop-outs, interrupted backups, and the like. Take this away and your data is at risk.
If the NAS you are using supports these features it should report them to the OS and you should natively be able to choose that volume. If you have to trick the OS to use the volume it means the NAS does not support it.
To summarize: if you care about your backup data you should avoid using non-natively supported AFP servers.
That obviously applies to Leopard; Snow Leopard appears to have added some requirements, that are also not supported by all NAS devices, and some that were working with Leopard no longer work with Snow Leopard.

Share a mounted AFP volume across user accounts on the same computer

Hi all,
I have a Mac Mini with several attached disks (HFS+). I'm using it as a file server, to share these disks over my home network. I'm mounting these as AFP server volumes on a second computer (MacBook Pro). This all works fine. Both are running MacOS 10.6.2.
The problem is that my MacBook Pro has two user accounts, and when I mount AFP volumes under one user, the other user can't access them. It seems that mounted AFP volumes are assigned read/write permissions for only the user that mounted them.
Ideally, I'd like to mount a volume once, and have it accessible from both user accounts. I've tried changing permissions in the AFP volume's Get Info window, but the changes don't take effect.
Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!!

I'm no expert in this department, but I believe that your question was the reason Apple started the 'Group' calendar. Check this page out:

Perhaps your answer lies within.

Time Machine to AFP volume is extremely slow after 10.5.2 update

I remember the time, after I have just installed the very first version of Leopard, when Time Machine was working with close to physical speed of my wireless network. Incremental backups would take less than a minute.
Comes 10.5.1. Time Machine became slower, but still tolerable: it might take up to 10 minutes to do an hourly backup.
Comes 10.5.2. Now Time Machine might take a couple of hours to do its "hourly" backup! 99% of the time it spends backing stuff up - when it shows the progress of the backup. So right now it says it's backing up 34.1 megabytes, and then it stopped at 1.4 megabytes, spent there about 15 minutes. Then it continued to about 9.5 megabytes, spend another 20 minutes there, without any progress, no CPU usage, very little network usage. Then it progressed to about 10.5 megabytes, and stuck again. Now it's at 15.2 megabytes, and been there for about 10 minutes already.
I use Airport Extreme base station with 802.11n at 5GHz, and the backup volume is on my Mac Mini, connected to AEBS via an ethernet cable, and during the phases when Time Machine gets stuck, I tested how the network works from my MacBook Pro, which I'm trying to backup to Mac Mini - constantly getting about 8-9 megabytes per second transfer rate, so clearly it's not that my wireless network is experiencing issues. Besides, the same problem persists even if I plug Ethernet cable directly into my MacBook Pro.
I've cleaned all caches, repaired permissions, repaired all volumes, rebuilt Spotlight indices on both my MacBook Pro and in the backup sparse bundle. The only thing it solved is insanely long "Preparing for backup" issue, but it DIDN'T solve the slow backup I have just described.
For comparison: rsync takes about a minute to do a full sync of my entire hard drive to the same AFP volume. Apple Backup 3.1.2 takes about as much. Time Machine - hours. I fail to even begin to imagine what in a world might they be doing there, spending this much time copying 34.1 megabytes of data over the network.
P.S. As I finish writing this, the backup progress is still at 15.2 magebytes. About 15 minutes now. A little over an hour now and not even half of the 34 megabytes is completed.

Is it slow wireless LAN behavior affecting Time Machine? Check out the third page of this thread, specificallly the post by John Albergo about "delay_ack."

Audio volume drops in FLV file after inserting into Captivate 4

The audio volume drops almost 50% in FLV files inserted into Captivate 4. Is there a solution for this problem?
Thank you.

Hi Sony,
That was the first thing I ever tried when I discovered the default setting for FLV and slide video (variables and advanced actions are my favorites, as you know perhaps). Perhaps I missed something, and did not try in CP 5.5 or after the latest patch on CP5.0, but this system variable seemed only to have effect on the normal audio clips, not on audio for video?

AFP will drop current connections and not allow future connections

We are having a puzzling problem that has gotten worse over the last few weeks. We are running a single Mac OS X 10.6.2 Server in a Golden Triangle configuration with multiple Windows servers on the network.
It started as a once a day thing where AFP would drop and I would have to restart the AFP service to get it to accept connections again. It is now happening multiple times per day. Is there anyone who has this problem? Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi everyone!
Have you found a solution to your problem in the meantime? We have a similar problem here connected with Mac OS X Server's DirectoryServices crashing repeatedly. I've described our problem more detailed in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11400291#11400291), maybe you could compare it to your setup.
Since the server in our case is "only" a fileserver, we also see the problem with AFP "hanging up" and not accepting connections any more. After restarting AFP, everything is fine again.
We are running OpenDirectory with Kerberos and do not have any replicas or bound Windows Servers (except for the Active Directory Domain Controller service running on the Snow Leopard machine itself).
Cheers,
Ron.

IPad 4 Volume drops really low a few seconds, then back to normal.

Hi All,
I am having an issue with the Volume on my iPad 4. I had one replaced 3 days before the warranty, but The replacement started doing the same thing. I realized it had to be an app causing it. I had been playing the RoboCop game for a bit and had just beaten it, so I deleted it. The trouble never happened again.
Now, it's doing it again and I'm thinking it must be another app causing it, but I can't seem to find it...and, obviously, it's out of warranty.
Here's what happens:
When I play anything with sound, after about 20 seconds or so, the Volume drops down so low it's almost not even able to be heard. It does this for about 3 to 5 seconds and then it comes right back to normal. It won't do it again unless I start a different video, song, app, etc...
I backed up everything to my MacBook Pro, Restored it to New/Default Settings, then Restored from Backup...it did not help. I also upgraded to the newest Version of iOS 7 when I did that...(Version 7.1.2).
If anyone knows what the problem is or what might fix it, PLEASE Help. It's driving me crazy!
Thank you so much,
Scott

You might want to try restoring as new - without the backup - and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't fix it, you can still restore the backup and you won't lose anything but a little bit of time that you spend restoring again.
Backup again, then restore as new, use the iPad and switch from song to song or from one app with sound to another....whatever you need to do to cause the sound issue again. If the sound issue doesn't come back, then you might assume it's something in the backup that was causing the problem. Start over and rebuild the iPad from scratch.
If the problem does not go away when you restore as new, you can always restore the backup to the iPad again and then take it to an Apple Store and ask them to take a look at it.

Mount AFP volume error [-5002 (AFP Bad UAM)]

After reading many complaints about AFP in Leopard, I just have to ask again if anybody has a workaround for the “Connection Failed” error -5002 when trying to mount an AFP volume in Leopard. Does anybody have any more info about fixes, workarounds or info about this problem with Leopard? And what is UAM??

UAM == user authentication method
Each AFP server, depending on its version, will have a set of UAMs that it supports by default. These are essentially authentication capabilities such as "no authentication", "cleartext passwords", "kerberos auth", etc. There are several others.
That error code would imply that your client is trying to authentication in a way that the server doesn't know how to handle. Is this another Leopard box you are trying to mount?

Phone call volume drops

This has occurred twice so far. Either at the beginning of an incomming or outgoing call, the ear piece volume drops to almost zero. Now it just happened in the middle of a call too. Only rebooting the phone resolves the problem. I'm wondering if this is something I should confront Apple with.

Hi,
Just purchased a 4 months old, like new, Lumia 1020.
Call volume is ridiculous.
I asked some acquaintances who also happen to have 1020 and they confirm the same - they all have problem with call volume being too low. Some of them started using bluetooth headset because Lumia's headset became unusable.
Some of them changed several Lumias under warranty, only for problem to reappear again after some time.
Soft reset, hard reset doesn't help. Signal is excellent. Protective mesh is clean. Blowing it doesn't help either.
Now, since I didn't know that this model has such a huge and elementary problem, I wonder what should I do, except get rid of it and make someone else miserable ?
You've put me in a bad position, Nokia...
Didn't expect this, very disappointed.

Volume Drop Problem (changes depending on how held)

The speaker volume on my iPhone changes depending on how it's being held. I surely hope this isn't considered a "feature". Held at a diagonal angle tilted backward, the volume drops considerably. It seems to play normal only when fully flat, or vertical.
Anyone else have this problem also? I'm considering exchanging it for another.

Don't you think it might just be a little useful to know what normally happens? I mean, you do realize that some phones sound silent when you tilt them a mm, while other phones sound almost the same no matter where you hold them. You do get that the difference in volume for the iPhone speakerphone when placed on a solid surface is much more dramatic than the changes in volume most other phones have due to placement, thus it's not something everybody thinks of right away.
Nobody tried to tell you that the sound waves were effected by gravity and the phone would be louder if you held it over your head right?
Read the first post again and think about it; 'speaker' refers to any sound emitting device like the 'headset', 'earpiece', or 'speakerphone speaker'...which you might even call the 'speaker speaker' or just 'speaker', regardless of how you define the parts; other people toss around the terms as if they are interchangeable. The post just says speaker.
If you are so bright then why are you asking a question at all? You know that if you move your body and the phone at the same time the volume shouldn't change. I mean..sure gravity does make the soundwaves drop quicker and all that so when you walk up an angled driveway the phone needs to adjust the volume, but that's only a little bit...not 'considerably' right?
Let's think for a second (or less for some of us). First, 'I was concerned some engineer mightve mistakenly thought of this as some cockamami "feature"'. Know what? It's a good idea. I wouldn't half mind a phone that could adjust the volume when I moved it to or from my ear or body. Seamlessly changing from the EARPIECE to the SPEAKER would be a great thing too. Things like switching from the bluetooth HEADSET to the SPEAKER are nice touches. I think you have an advanced model or a special feature.
It's also a little difficult for people to know how much your phone changes in volume when they can't hear it. It's not like there's a recording or some empirical data like 'hey, when I tilt my phone at a 45 degree angle it drops 20 decibels'.
As to 'reflected acoustics?!?!', I think the post starts with "speaker volume" and continues to 'when fully flat, or vertical'. Fully flat sounds like your phone is sitting on a table, shelf, or the floor and since I don't put my phone on a block then lay down on the floor with my ear above it to make a call I think the description sounds more like the speakerphone portion than the ear 'speaker'. Stating what the SPEAKER should do when normally performing in answer to a question should be considered informative and useful because : If you knew what the speaker was supposed to do you would not have asked.
Yeah, you never know who is using an iPhone or posting in the forums, but it doesn't take very long to read through the posts and find the information you want when you post a clear question in the first place.
I don't consider my phone a derogatory TLA, but if that's what you think of the product then I hope you enjoy your old phone.
Don't let the bass fall on your foot on the way out.

Audio volume drops on sub-titled clips (imovie 4)

When I place a sub-title on a video clip the volume drops considerably. When I highlight the clip and boost its volume even to the maximum 150% in an attempt to make the loudness consistent with the rest of the project, it's still not enough. Volume reductions like this occur even when I do contrast or brightness, etc. adjustments. How better boost volume with these clips that suffer volume reduction and maintain uniform audio throughout a project?

Hello Tom
Extract the sound of the video clip with the title and see if it makes a difference.
This takes me back some years. I don't recall the sound dropping off to the degree you speak of though. But give it a go, you have nothing to loose !
Cheers

[Problem] Ringtone volume drops automatically

Hi all,
from 2-3 days I'm experiencing this bug/issue: ringtone volume drops automatically, randomly and without any reason. When it happens, I start a "battle" with iPhone: I increase (with side buttons) and it decrease ringtone volume!
I have already tried to restore and configure it as new one on iTunes, but the crazy thing is that this issue made is first appearance while I was setting language, at the beginning of initial settings!
I have an iPhone 4S 16GB updated with FW 5.1 and I'm becoming worried, because my first phone was replaced with this one for audio issue.
Greetz

I'm really sorry. I don't know what else to do. I recommend from here you contect Apple. They are great at getting back to there customers really quickly. Here is the link: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
I hope you are able to find a solution to your problem! :)

Volume Drops When Skipping Song (via Lightning Adapter)

I currently have an aftermarket iPhone connector in my car, to which I have attached a Lightning adapter. On the road today, whenever I skipped a song (using the button on my car stereo), the volume dropped considerably for the next song. Only when I used the "fast forward" button did the volume increase back to its normal level. If I let the playlist go from one song to the next uninterrupted, the volume stayed as is.
Given the sequence of the events, I am assuming it is either the phone or Lightning adapter. While I did a hard reset, I have not had a chance to test in the car again. However, I do not experience the same issue with regular headphones.

Yes! Same problem here on two different iPhone 4s (mine and my wife's). If I watch the volume bar on the phones when I skip songs, it doesn't move, but the actual volume output drops to about half. Like the original poster, pause/play seems to fix it... until the next time I switch songs.
SoundCheck is off everywhere (phones and iTunes), so no help there.
Yet another reason to miss my 3GS, I guess...

Walkman Volume drops to zero when i connect a headset

My walkman Volume drops to zero when i connect a headset. I can adjust the volume settings for media but it snaps right back to zero. When i disconnect the headphone the volume settings work again so i can listen to media like mp3. But i would like to use my headset. Any tips?

Hi
I believe this has something to do with "Smart Connect" app.
If you don't wanna check on a lot of settings, then clear the data of smart connect app ( settings > smart connect > clear data) and your phone should be working as supposed to, otherwise check on the settings and it's easy.
Run the smart connect app > select "Music on the go" or "Music at home" ( Or any other profile to check) >Select the edit option at the bottom then check the settings if you have set the volumes to minimum when you choose to connect your headsets.
If you find it confusing, just clear the data of app and see if it works for you.

Problems with searching on AFP volumes

Hi,
our clients (Macs with Lion) can't find the files on the AFPs volume when searching.
The first days after I had installed Lion Server it worked fine - no it is getting more and more worth and many times no files are found even if there are many.
Who can help me?

Having the same issue. Network Share on attached Promise Pegasus R4 Raid (via Thunderbolt) is not searchable. All common practices to reset the Spotlight index failed. Mac Mini with OS X Lion Server 10.7.2
