Disconnection from mounted volume

Hi there, I am accessing files on a colleague's G4 running OS 9.2.2 which acts as a file server (small office, no server as yet). I have a G4 running OS X 10.4.10. I go to My Network, select her computer, click on Connect, select her hard disk as the volume and click OK. I am then connected to her HDD. I then access files etc but then many times a day I appear to be disconnected (error message stating that the connection has been interrupted). File sharing is on and appletalk is on.
It never used to happen with my old G4 running OS 9.2.2. With my old G4, I wiped the HDD and put in a partition, with OS 9.2.2 on one volume and OS X Tiger on the other volume. Whichever OS I ran, the same thing seemed to happen (disconnection). I have since acquired a newer Mac, but seem to be having the same problem. What might be causing it do you think? I am tempted to put all the files onto my newer machine and see what happens. And replace the network cables!

Thanks Joe. And I thought by updating all the G4s in our office from 9.1 to 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 was improving things! lol...oh well. I will soon be installing a server and doing things properly, which will run Tiger, so hopefully like you say the problem will disappear! All the best, Pat

Stopping Leopard from mounting volumes it finds on the network

How do I stop Leopard from going out and mounting volumes it finds on the network without my requesting that server be mounted?
The network at work, is a rather slow, cumbersome, poorly linked network and mounting these volumes, which I do not want, is slowing down everything.
10.4 did not do this.

I am having the same problem. There seem to be some kind of hidden links to my network drive, which want to connect from time to time. I am not able to find the respective files.
Is there anyway to find the files and/or the reason why it wants to connect?

Delete File From Mounted Volume

Hey,
I am trying to delete the "Calendar Cache" files on both my laptop PowerBook G4 and the Mac Pro Quad that I sync my calendars with. I am using ChronoSync and the individual calendars sync fine, but there is a little house keeping needed with the cache file. They need to be deleted on both systems in order to "refresh" the views of the calendars.
So after the sync of calendars, I have the software initiating an AppleScript that deletes both. Here's the script:
+(* PowerBook Files / delete cache file *)+
+(* Please note that both systems have the same username. This may be arise a conflict *)+
+tell application "Finder"+
+ activate+
+ tell application "Finder" to delete file "Calendar Cache" of folder "Calendars" of folder "Library" of disk "useranthony"+
+end tell+
+(* Mac Pro Quad/ delete cache file *)+
+tell application "Finder"+
+ mount volume "afp://10.10.10.1/anthonyabraira"+
+ tell application "Finder" to delete file "Calendar Cache" of folder "Calendars" of folder "Library" of disk "/volumes/useranthony"+
+end tell+
I am having trouble addressing a deletion on the networked Mac Pro Quad.

why send it to the trash just delete it...
(* PowerBook Files / delete cache file )
try
do shell script "rm -rf /Library/Calendars/Calendar\\ Cache"
end try
you may need a delay for the Mac Pro Quad to mount
( Mac Pro Quad/ delete cache file *)
--the mount and then the delay
delay 4
try
do shell script "rm -rf /THE-CORRECT/PATH-HERE/Library/Calendars/Calendar\\ Cache"
end try

Need help getting servername from afp volume mount

Hello I am trying to write a script to take the path of a selected file or folder, put it on the clipboard, and make it a PC friendly link/path to email to pc users in my company. We are sharing files off of 3 servers.
My problem is not with the scripting, but with the fact that all mounted volumes from these servers show up only from their mountpoint in the Volumes folder, i.e. /Volumes/DeptShare/Inbox/ and the like. In the "Get Info" Window I can see the servername (Server: afp://servername/pathtofile/etc) but I cannot find any clean way to call that from a script, to tie a mountpoint (Volumes/DeptShare) to the server it's on, if the user has volumes from more than one server mounted...
So my script can't replace "Volumes" with the proper servername.
Hope Im being clear, happy to elaborate, much obliged for any help.

Hi Bob, thank you so much for the quick response.
Unfortunately system_profiler SPNetworkVolumeDataType isn't revealing a server name for me. I think part of the problem is that it is afp; smb does reveal the server name there. Similarly, when I type "mount" in terminal, the afp server/login for the volume is just listed as a long character string starting with afp_ instead of a username@servername like with smb. With the SPNetworkVolumeDataType all I'm seeing re: server info is this: (I think the first part is just bonjour looking at our domain, I actually can't browse any servers through that. But I included it anyways in case)
Servers:
Type: autofs
Mount Point: /Network/Servers
Mounted From: map -fstab
Automounted: Yes
MyShareName:
Type: afpfs
Mount Point: /Volumes/MyShareName
Automounted: No
Another way I was trying to do this was to try and somehow "ping" a path to filename on each server, to see if the file/path could be checked or return an error and the script could know which server it was on. But I can't figure out the right language to do that either. I can do it like this in terminal:
\[-a /Volumes/path/file\]
but not like this:
\[-a /servername/path/file\]
or this:
\[-a afp://servername/path/file\]
so I still don't have the server name tied to the path.
The only other thing I can think of is having the script check the mountpoint name against a list of share names on each server, but that's a little heavier than I was hoping this would be. Plus it drives me nuts that the "Get Info" window can see the servername I can't call it easily somewhere!!

Change ownership from "system" on mounted volume?

I have an external firewire drive with 3 partitions all of which are mounted on an iMac, and which until recently all had the same ownership and permission settings under my admin account. One of the volumes (the one storing all the users' iTunes songs) somehow changed ownership to "system" and group to "wheel". I can no longer access the volume nor can the other user accounts on the iMac, although it shows up as a mounted volume when viewed in Disk Utility. "Repair permissions" is unavailable for this volume in Disk Utility. The other two volumes are unaffected and retain the original ownership settings. I'd like to reset ownership from "system" to my admin account, but do not know how to do so as apparently it needs to be done through unix commands using Terminal. What do I need to do?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

"...under Ownership & Permissions, click on the lock, enter your password, and change the Owner to you, with R&W access and the Group to admin, also w/R&W access, and click o Apply to enclosed items. Click the lock and close the Info window. No need to use Unix commands in the Terminal app."
I first tried that approach but unfortunately the procedure does not work. Under Ownership & Permissions it says "You have No Access". I can click on the lock and select my name under Details: Owner, but once I click to relock, Owner just reverts back to "system".

How do you remove mounted volumes from showing in CS6 InDesign?

I am encountering an issue since we migrated shares from an X-Serve to a Windows server 2008. A user in InDesign no longer has access to a certain share but that shared volume is still showing up as a mounted volume. InDesign still sees the folder and does not show it as a broken link making it difficutl to tell if the user is linked to the correct images.
This is no a specific instance to only one user but multiple users.The Finder Can't go there - says he doesn't have rights. The folder at the root of the IMD folde (for instance) at the root of the main folder shows red locked badges when you dont have rights, and thats how the users see it. He can't navigate in there at all but in Adobe InDesign, if he clicks on the linked file stored there and says reveal in finder it takes him into that folder. Something the finder cant do on its own. The users do not have rights to those locations and should not.
Thank you

Ivan,
Here is what liitle I know on this topic.
The attached doc was created when Designer 7 was released and it has a table of the Acrobat JavaScript APIs and there equivalents, if any, in Designer. According to that doc, app.hideMenuItem() is supported in Designer and there is no Designer JavaScript equivalent.
My brief look at this matter leads me to believe security constraints since Reader 6.0 have changed the rules.
I recommend you take a look at trusted functions and context in the Acrobat 9 SDK.

Possible to keep a volume from mounting at startup?

I am fixing my Aunt's MacMini with 10.4. I have another volume on the disk where I have a second installation of 10.4 with utilities. I'd like to keep this volume unmounted if possible.
Is there a way I can stop this volume from mounting at startup?
Thanks,

How prevent OS X backup volume from mounting at boot

I have 10.6.2 in a bootable GUID partition on my main drive (Bay 1) and another 10.6.2 in a bootable GUID partition on another drive (Bay 3).
How do I prevent the second bootable partition from mounting when the startup disk is my main drive?
How do I prevent the first bootable partition from mounting when the startup disk is the partition in Bay 3?
There disk utilities that cannot fix errors or volume fragmentation (not file fragmentation) on the boot drive.
Thank you,
Don

see this mac os x hint on how to prevent a partition from mounting at startup

you'll need to edit the file /etc/fstab separately on each boot drive.

Mac users disconnected from shares on OS 10.3.9 Server

The past few days I have had many (not all) Mac users get disconnected from Apple file shares that they have mounted. They get a message saying the connection to the server was unexpectedly terminated. Oddly, this doesn't happen to everybody using the server at the time. And, some users are only disconnected from a few of the shares they have mounted. We are not having any network issues and I don't see any errors on the server or log files. Is it possible that saving very large files to the server could cause the NIC to get tied up and prompt the disconnect? Any other ideas would be appreciated.

I wanted to update the thread on some new developments. Just a few moments ago, the server affected by this behavior crashed. It kicked everyone off shared volumes, and wouldn't respond via ARD, Server Monitor, or SSH. It just totally took a dump all over itself.
I was able to find the crash in the Apple File Service log in Console, but it looks like it locked up hard before (and during) when it was writing the crash log. Here are the parts I could find:

You can see on that last line there where it started writing the console log as it rebooted.
Hope it helps diagnose the problem. If anything, it's the first time the server was rebooted since about May, so maybe whatever problem it was experiencing is fixed with the reboot.
I promise to report back if things go well, or not.

Disconnect from Server

I have a G4(MDD)that I am trying to connect to my Windows 2003 Server. The problem is that when I connect using SBM,CIFS or AFP I get a [email protected] has been disconnected. I have changed patch cables added some info into the DNS nothing seems to help. I have another G4 (MDD) with the same setting running with no problems. Im not sure what more to try. Im thinking of telling my company to buy an Xserve that would solve the problem.
Thanks for the help.
The OS on the G4 is 10.4.6

Now I understand better some of what's going on. The networking functions are fine; it's the GUI that's misleading me.
As soon as I select a server icon in the "Shared" section of the Finder sidebar, Leopard connects as "Guest" and displays the share points. Select a share point and the shared volume icon mounts on the desktop, and the triangular unmount icon appears next to the share icon in the Finder.
BUT: disconnect from server or share point, and the Finder STILL displays all share points and indicates I am still "Connected as: Guest" . . . but now there is no disconnect triangle.
Further weirdness: If I have a share point mounted, and click "Connect as" (button available in column-view), it unmounts the share, but doesn't launch the "Connect to Server" dialog.
Then, click "Connect as" again to bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog, authenticate as NON-GUEST user to an SMB share, the volume mounts, but the Finder displays "Connected as Guest"!
Even if I connect as a NON-GUEST user to a PC share using SMB in the older way -- CMD-K or "Go > Connect to Server" -- then select the newly-mounted Server icon in the Finder sidebar, the Finder tells me I am -- you "guest" it -- "Connected as Guest."
Interestingly, the Finder displays AFP connections correctly, with actual user names, and a "disconnect" button, under the server icon in the 1st Finder column; SMB connections do not.
So my issues here seem to be confusion created by miscues in the GUI -- the "Connected as Guest" indication before you've actually connected, and after you've disconnected. And for SMB connections, the additional miscues of being told you're connected as guest instead of the user account you've authenticated under, and the curious absence of a "Disconnect" button under the server icon in the 1st Finder column.
I just installed Leopard three days ago. Overall, I love it. I hope this feedback helps Apple refine some minor bumps in the user experience.

Copy files from mounted server

I am new to ARD. I am used to using Timbuktu. In Timbuktu I can choose exchange files, and get a list that I can browse, including any attached drives and mounted volumes. I can navigate right to the file I want, and then copy it.
I cant seem to find a easy way to browse files in ARD. I can do a search for files, but even then I can seem to be able to just browse files from a mounted volume.
Is there any way to do this in ARD?

Sorry, but there is no file browser in ARD (other than taking control of a system and browsing through it's own Finder). You have to search for a file, either with the File Search or, if the clients are running Mac OS X, a Spotlight search.

Secured WebDAV Mounted Volume Authorization Issues

I use a secure WebDAV mounted volume from myDisk.se and up until the latest Security Update have had zero issues being able to manipulate files and folders as I would on a normal volume. However, since the installation of the Security Update (2009-004 (PowerPC) 1.0) I find weird things happening with this mounted volume:
1) I am able to mount the secured WebDAV share using my security credentials.
2) I can create a default "untitled" folder but when I try to change its name, the WebDAV authorization dialog pops up and despite entering the same credentials (why, I am not sure as the volume has already been properly credentialed in order to be mounted), access is denied.
3) Trying to create a file within a folder on the mounted WebDAV volume I previously created pre-update causes the same authorization issue.
I have no other WebDAV shares I can try to mount from any other companies so I am not sure if this is a myDisk issue or one borne from the Security Update. I am not a .Mac/MobileMe user and that info is not filled out in System Preferences. The internal hard drive has been meticulously maintained with Disk and Permissions repair being run both before and after each and every software update installed. Likewise, the volume's structure is also checked both before and after and shows no need for repairs.
Any ideas? Perhaps there is a corrupted file somewhere that's affecting the authorizations needed by this third-party WebDAV volume?
The machine that has this problem is the last model iBook G4/1.33GHz 12" display, 1.5GB RAM, and a 100GB 5400rpm HD which replaced the stock OEM 40GB 4200rpm drive about one year ago.
I'm not willing to do an Archive and Install at this point as the loss of the WebDAV access to my online volume is not critical. Inconvenient as heck but not to the point where I'm willing (or able) stop my normal work to spend the hours it will take to get WebDAV access back.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

same problem here with webdav, I can't mount my idisk from university network on Mac Pro 10.5.3 (although it mounts fine from home network on both ibook and PMG5 10.5.3). Everything was fine with 10.5.2 and I already re-installed 10.5.3 combo. Other bugs as well with .Mac prefs (keeps crashing, sometimes it shows the available space on idisk but still no mounting, with error -35 or -8086), but .Mac sync is OK

Mounted Volume Not Showing On Desktop or Sidebar

Our company uses a Mac Mini running OS 10.10 Yosemite to share files. File Sharing is setup to share contents on the Mac Mini with other Macs and PCs. Sharing is working fine. However, in the last couple days when logging into the Mac Mini the mounted volume (Mac Mini) no longer shows on the desktop, sidebar or when accessing the client hard drive. In order to access the Mac Mini after mounting via log in an alias to the Mac Mini needs to be created and access via the alias. Folders from the Mac Mini can be added to the side bar and accessed that way, but the main folder for the Mac Mini is only accessible through the alias. Preferences in the Finder are set to show mounted volumes and servers on the desktop.
Computers accessing the Mac Mini are running OS 10.6, 10.9, 10.8.

Check the settings in the General tab of the Finder's preferences.

Mounted Volume not shwoing up with Windows 2012 R2 failover cluster

Hi
We configured some drives as mounted volumes and configured it with Failover cluster. But it's not showing up the mounted volume details with Cluster Manager, it's showing the details as seen below
Expect support from someone to correct this issue
Thanks in advance

Hi LMS,
Are you doubt about the disk shown as GUID? Cluster Mount point Disk is showing as a Volume GUID in server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster I creating a mountpoint inside the cluster

Finder throwing error -1401 when attempting to open files on mounted volume

Alright, this is driving me nuts. At random, Finder will refuse to open files on a mounted volume on my server. It throws the error "The application can't be opened. -1401" and then "The operation can’t be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -1401)." back to back. It doesn't matter what the file type is, as far as I can tell (.jpg, .xlsx and .pdf are on there).
From that point on, I can navigate those volumes to the point that I have navigated them since the volume was mounted at start up, but can't go any deeper into the directories or open anything. Finder also won't eject the volume. I can't open files from within applications, either.
I have to reboot for it to work again.
However, if I jump into Parallels I can open anything on the server. Even Acrobat files, which open in the Mac environment and not within the virtual machine.
Does anyone have any insight to what might be causing this? I searched and can't find anything.
Thanks,
Brian

Restart your computer with the Shift key held down,
and then open the Startup Items folder inside the
System Folder. Throw away all of the aliases you find
in this folder and then empty the trash.
To quit AppleWorks or another application when it
won't respond, hold down the Option, Command, and Esc
keys, and then click the Force Quit button. You
should also use the Disk First Aid application in the
Applications (Mac OS 9):Utilities folder to verify
your hard disk, as something may have been damaged
when you shut the machine down using that method.
