Find what program is mounting NAS

I recently reinstalled Snow Leopard on my iMac after a drive replacement...
I've just installed the usual suspect kinda apps, nothing much, but ever since the reinstall my NAS drive which i use for my TimeMachine backups won't ever hibernate and even within a minute of logging in the NAS drive mounts
I can see the TimeMachine partition mount and dismount when a backup runs, and the other partitions aren't showing as mounted in Finder (as in i don't see a eject symbol)
Is there a way to find whats using a resource and causing it ... never used to be a problem before
Thanks
J

i'd start with looking at all processes in activity monitor (in applications > utilities).

  • Finding what programs are accessing hard drive

    Recently, my Mac Mini has refused to auto-sleep (manual sleep works fine, though occasionally I wake up to find it's on). I've tried all the "usual" things and, just now, simply sat there and listened. After the set sleep period, the monitor went off but I heard the hard drive "access" for a brief period. For the next period, every 10-20seconds, there was brief burst of activity (talking less than a second, mmaybe one read or write process). I don't know how I could track what processes are accessing the hard drive, but if I could, I could finally track down the bandit that's keeping my Mac awake. Anyone know of a way I could accomplish this?

    Nevermind. I found the offending program. It was Western Digital's "Button Manager". I have a Firewire My Book, so I'll see if I can uninstall the program.
    I'd still be interested if there's a utility to track which programs access the HDD, but I consider this problem "answered" now

  • Trying to find what program is updating a table

    Hello,
    This does not really fall under ABAP but I didn't know where to put it. I have been trying to find out what process is updating my class. The transaction code is CL02 and some process is re-arranging the characteristics of a certain class.  In table CDHDR I can see the change documents. The user is always BATCHUSER, and it happens approx every 2 hours but it can vary quite a bit. The charactersitics are rearranged in exactly the same way each time. I have checked all the batch jobs, there are no workflows or idocs triggered/created at the same time, I have set RFC traces and SQL traces but I still cannot track down the process that is making these changes. If anybody has any ideas for me to try I would be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Ashley

    there was an idoc that kept being processed and was updating the class.

  • Query to find concurrent programs defined in each concurrent manager queue

    We have got custom concurrent queues defined and have then included applications / programs under it.
    This way we are seggregating the load across multiple queues and application servers.
    As a check , i want to find what programs are running / actually scheduled under each queue.
    I can see the same from the application frontend. How can I find the same form backend database.

  • Can someone help me? How do I change the option to pick where or what program I want to open a file after I've downloaded it? I tried to look for an option for this and can't find it anywhere.

    For example I download a file and I click on it and there will sometimes be a window that opens saying what program I want to open the file with? And then it'll also have a check box saying if I want to use this program for all files I download. I can't change it when I download the file because that one file I keep downloading keeps crashing my Firefox and I have to force quit. It's really getting on my nerves. It's an online statement I'm trying to view and I want to get rid of that problem!! Is there anyway to change that option without going to that download page?

    I would recommend going into device manager on your PC and making sure that you have correctly installed the IR dongle. Also what version of hotsync manager are you currently using?

  • How to find out what program is using a file I am trying to delete?

    I know I could probably just reboot and then empty my trash without getting this error- but this is a good chance to learn. So, I have a video file I converted with Handbrake. I deleted the file- but it won't let me delete it- saying it is in use (this is even after closing Handbrake). I have closed everything but it still gives me this error. Is there a way to see what program is grabbing it- a terminal command maybe?
    thx

    Open terminal, copy and paste the following
    lsof
    note- trailing blank space,
    drag and drop your file from trash or from desktop to the open terminal window, and return.
    example +lsof /pathtofile+

    This document may help with your first question:
    "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple Software Products
    This IANA listing of the port numbers is also useful, if more detailed.
    You can use the Sharing tab of System Preferences to configure the firewall to block all ports except for those specified; you can use the command-line ipfw utility to set up more detailed firewall configurations.

  • How to make a working IMAGE ofperfect system? What program to use? NoRestor

    OK, being a PC guy (sigh) I am used to system restore.
    A few things. The other day for no reason iDVD stopped playing sound, for the life of me I could not fix it, garage band played fine....as well as Logic Express, but no for iDVD which leads me to this. I had to reinstall OS and all the software again.
    Is there something similar to system restore?
    Or, how does one make a working copy of his/her image when it is working great and then use that for the re-install.
    I assume from the tiger disc this is where you say use recover image or something like that. What programs (if there is no restore) are there for making a working image of your system? Will toast do it? I don't want a toast image but a DMG image.....after I install FC, iWork, iLife, Garage loops, where looking at 30GB at least, but will do it if it means the next time something goes wrong instead of reinstalling all I have to do is mount this recoverable image!
    Thanks again!

    Here's what I do. This is my backup routine - seriously.
    - Get Info on your main drive, copy down the # of bytes used. Divide by 1024 then by 1024 again. This gives you the number of MB used on your system
    - Open Disk Utility. Select FILE > New...> Blank Disk Image
    - from the size drop down, select Custom, then enter the MB number you calculated plus about 0.2.
    - Save as read/write, no encryption, to an external drive (firewire is more reliable in my experience but USB should work) - use a descriptive name so you know it's a backup. If your image is big, this will take a while as D.Util. writes a file the same size as your main drive.
    - Your new disk image will show up in Disk Utility. Verify the bytes available is more than the bytes on your main drive (highlight them in turn and look at the info at the bottom of the D.Util. window)
    - Now click the Restore button. Drag your main drive into the Source slot and the mounted disk image into the destination slot. No need to erase destination because you just overwrote those bytes creating the contiguous .DMG file.
    - Click Restore and go watch a movie.
    When D.U. is done your main drive will now be in a .dmg file. To get your drive back, boot from the install CD, select D.U. from the Utilities menu, restore from the image (click the Image button on the restore screen to mount and browse external drives). This time you put the mounted image file in the source and your main drive in the destination slot. Watch another movie.
    I suggest you test this between external drives first in case you think it's black magic. You can then boot from the second restored drive to verify that yes indeed it's a perfect clone and it's bootable (need FW drives since you can't boot from USB). If your restore doesn't work just remember your backup is on that .dmg file and don't give up. But I've never had a problem (knocking on my wooden head).
    This is my routine once a month. Between times I backup just changed files as needed. I also have a "clean" configuration of my laptop from the last time I wiped it and re-installed all my apps. That process took 2 days, but when I restore the clean it takes maybe an hour - much better than finding all my disks and serial numbers again, and wasting 2 days.
    Let us know if this is helpful,

  • How do I find what table a field is in?

    Hi,
    If I know a field name, how would I search the Data Dictionary to find the table (or tables) that the field is found in?
    For example, I have a program spec that that says field AZSUB is in table MARM, but it is not.  How can I find what table this field is actualkly in?
    Thanks for your help!

    Just goto se11, enter the data element of that field and clisk on the where used list on the application tool bar. You will get all the tables in which the field appears.
    You got find out which would be your appropriate table may be using by the description of the table or the contents or by the links..

  • VPN Questions... What program should I use?

    I need to connect to a Watchguard Firebox X1000. The only program that I can find that might work is VPN Tracker. I just want to know what program everyone else uses to vpn and why. And if anyone else is in the same predicament as I.

    I need to connect to a Watchguard Firebox X1000. The
    only program that I can find that might work is VPN
    Tracker. I just want to know what program everyone
    else uses to vpn and why. And if anyone else is in
    the same predicament as I.
    It looks like the watchguard supports ipsec and pptp - so you ought to be able to use the built in client.
    If you want to use ipsec and are behind NAT, you can go with vpntracker($) - if you aren't behind NAT you can probably use ipsecuritas(free).
    As for what I use - I use windows built-in ipsec because NAT-T isn't broken in it (hint hint apple... and I refuse to pay what I consider to be too much for vpn tracker, which is mostly a GUI for raccoon (built in open source IPSEC tool). (of course vpn tracker did fix NAT-T with thier own kernel extension - so I would use it if it were less expensive...)

    " work for a news paper so i have a large amount of photos coming and going in my system, so i need a program that is faster and more efficient that aperture"
    I believe you are looking for a lightweight image browser/viewer that supports basic editing. I highly recommend Lyn and believe it is the exact program for your purposes. It is $20, but you are offered a free 30$ trial.
