Can't mount SAN volume 'cause it already shows mounted.. but it's not

after controller 1 had a problem and controller 2 took over, one volume on one client (of 6) won't mount.
all volumes on all other clients OK..
the error says it's already mounted and looking at
ls -al /Volumes
it's there..
looking at df , it's not
looking at finder, it's not
running diskutil unmount , it's not
(or mount -u)
so I can't unmount what's there cause it's not there and I can't mount what's not mounted cause it thinks it already is mounted .
any ideas ??

after a MDC fail-over the finder sometimes creates an alias file with the name of the san volume. after all it's a broken alias.
disconnect the FC cable. in the finder (or terminal), go to /Volumes and remove the broken alias file.
cu. p.

I take it you are not the administrator for the site? If so, you would be given the option to unlock the page (it will be near the top of the screen in a yellow box).
Do you have access to the site outside of Contribute. If you can't unlock it via the administrative function mentioned above, you need to go into the site using Windows Explorer (if it's a local development site) or an FTP client and find a file with the same name as the page but with a .lck extension and delete it. That will unlock the page.

Hi,
Yes you can contact Apple UK at daytime, for free, in the Chat.
Just go to the iPad page, then press buy now in the upper right corner, and then in the upper right corner you will see the phone number, and next to it,(only at daytime) you will see a button, writing something like contact else, I don't really know what is the exact label, but it works.
Good luck

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Hi When I download an app on my iPad 3 it comes up ok on my homepage and shows waiting but it will not load & install. This has only just started a couple of days ago, and I have tried resetting the iPad but the problem persists. Hope some one can help, thanks. Zeters.

Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and apps should start downloading.
If there are no pending or stalled downloads, sign-out of account, reboot and sign-in again.

what can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

You also are not showing any cellular service. Have you contacted your provider regarding that? Regarding your WiFi, do you have wifi turned on in settings? Did you get your phone to show up in iTunes on your computer? I think we are dealing with several issues since you said that you have a message on your phone to connect to iTunes and you don't have cellular service.

ZFS tries to mount SAN volume before ISCSI is running

I am running Solaris 10 x86 U7. It is actually a VMWare guest (ESX4) on a Sun X4170 server- although I do not believe that that is relevant. I have a Sun 2510 iSCSI SAN appliance. I have an iSCSI volume with a ZFS Pool that is mounted on the server. All was fine until yesterday when I installed the following patches:
142934-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: failsafe patch
142910-17 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
144489-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
142912-01 (as a dependency requirement for one of the others.)
I had installed the patches in run level 1 , then switched to run level S to allow the patch install to finish.
Now, when I restart the zfs volume on the san is marked as off line. the /var/adm/messages shows the following
Nov 7 00:26:30 hostnameiscsi: [ID 114404 kern.notice] NOTICE: iscsi discovery failure - SendTargets (ip.ad.dr.ess)
I can mount the SAN ZFS pool with
#zpool clear ZFSPOOL1
#zfs mount -a
For iscsi device discovery, I am using send targets (not static or iSNS.) I am not using CHAP authentication.
It seems to be me this may merely be a timing in services and not fundamentally an iscsi issue. Can I tell the OS to wait for a minute after starting iscsi service before continuing with zfs mount and autofs shares? Can I tell the OS to delay mounting non OS zfs pools?
Thanks

Here is what I tried. Installed Batchmod and Xupport on each of internal system disk, backup internal system disk and external system disk. Batchmod could not find the folders automount or Network.
Booting from external disk, I made hidden files visible using Xupport, then deleted automount > Servers, automount > Static on internal disk and backup disk. The folder Network had no files or folder named "Server". Booting from internal disk, the desktop tried to mount server volumes. Examining the internal disk automount folder showed aliases for "Servers" and "static". Get Info said they pointed to originals "Servers" and "static" in folder /automount but these items do not appear in the Finder.
Sometimes icons, not aliases, for "Network", "Servers", and "static" appear on all three desktops on login. Trying to eject these icons by dragging to Trash or highlighting and clicking File > Eject has no effect. Examining Users > Username > Desktop does not show these items. Sometimes ".DS_Store" appears on desktop and in folder Users > Username > Desktop.
Next I deleted user accounts so that all system disks are single user. Booted up on External disk and deleted automount > Servers, automount > Static on internal disk and internal backup disk or their aliases, whichever appeared in Finder. Booting up on internal disk results in... desktop trying to mount server volumes.
Will try an archive and install on internal disk.

How can I make the volume buttons on my iPod Touch control ALL sounds - not just alerts and system sounds?

I would like to TOTALLY silence my iPod. I turn the volume all the way down using the buttons on the side, but this just silences alerts and system sound effects. Then I start a game, and the game sounds still play. Of course I can turn the volume down after the game starts, but by then I'm already busted :-)
I don't know if it's related, but...
I can plug in my headphones and then turn the game volume all the way down. But when I remove the headphones, the volume goes back up again.

I started downloading a song from iTunes and then stopped it in the middle of the download cause it froze, but when I tried to redownload it, iTunes said the song was already downloaded. But it does not show up in my music library on my phone. Help?

I bought a song on iTunes and it started downloading but then about half way through it seemed to stop downloading so I pressed the square stop button in he middle of the downloading circle so that I could try and restart the download. But when I went back to iTunes, instead of having the cloud and the arrow to let me download the song from the cloud next to it, it said "Play" as if I had already downloaded the song. So I went back to my music library to try and find the song but it's not there and iTunes isn't letting me download it cause it says I already have it. Please help.

Site Members having contribute permissions can see the "Approve It" yellow bar under the ribbon but it is not clickable

Hello All,
I am facing a weird behavior from SharePoint. I added a couple of users in the Members Group having Contribute permissions.
Whenever the user open any pending page, a yellow bar appears stating "Waiting for approval
Visitors can't see this page until it's approved.
Approve it." But it is not clickable.
The users don't have the permissions to approve the pages.

In order to approve list items in SharePoint using content approval Full control permission is required on that list. You can create a custom Permission level to accomplish it with contribute access + approval if you require that functionality.
You may also go into the list settings > Versioning settings and change the Draft Item security to only allow approvers and the creator of the content to see the item unless it's approved because It seems like it's set currently to those that can edit
items, but they can't approve.

I can open Safari, Finder and Google Chrome ( my default browser) but they do not display on my iMac. Evidently they are minimized somewhere but I can't figure out how to maximize them. This has been a problem ever since I down loaded Mavericks.

When I open Safari, Finder or Google Chrome (my default browser) they do not displayanywhere on my iMac.
Tthey are minimized somewhere but how can to maximize them.
I can't say for sure this is related to Mavericks but the problem began shortly after dowloading Mavs.
Any suggested fix?

Hope the following helps to make things clearer.
When I left click Safari or Google Chrome in my Dock, neither expands. When I then right click wither one in teh Dock, a dialog box pops up which gives me the option to close them, which implies that they are in fact open.
In other words, when I left click on Safari or Chrome in my Dock, nothing visibly changes on my Desktop. Indeed, neither Safari not Chrome are listed as the active window in the menu bar. If I do the same with Finder, at least Finder shows up as active in the menu bar but that's all. Finder itsef is not accessible and so I cannot use it.
On the other hand, I ahve no problem opening up Paralles 9 for Mac to access Windows/Explorer which is what I have done to send this note to teh Apple Communities Forum. Nor do I ahve a problem opening up any of my other programssuch as Office for Mac, etc.
I suspect this may be mavericks related but can't say for sure.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
