How can I stop an network share from auto mounting?

I have a recent 13" MBPr and I installed Steam.  For kicks, I told it to save the library on my 10.8 mac mini server.  This worked well.  It worked so well, I started up Parallels and did the same thing for my steam library on my boot camp partition. I closed Parallels and Steam then put my laptop to sleep.  I was away from my home network and repeatedly received messages about not being able to access my server in a standard Finder pop-up.  No big deal, I opened Steam to try and remove the library from my list.  It was no longer listed.
Upon arriving home I opened steam and still could not find my share in the list.  I removed Steam and all it's support files.  Still on every boot I get the finder error about not being able to connect to my server.  When I boot up my parallels boot camp VM I get the same Finder error.  It pops up several (I never bothered to count) before it stops after I keep closing the pop-up.
I've looked at /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto_home, my login items, and I cannot find the process that keeps trying to mount the network share.  When I am at my home and reboot my mac or boot parallels I do not receive the error.  But I also do not see the mounted share on my desktop.  I do see it when I perform the ls command on /Volumes.  When I try and cd into it I get a Permission Denied error.  Root/Wheel seems to own the mounted share.  When I sudo the folder I see all the files stored on that volume.
Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening without resorting to creating a new user?  I just got this one the way I like it (before I screwed it up with steam!)
Thanks for reading my short novel.

did the restore through itunes but to no avail.
Then you must have restored and installed your backup when requested.  To remove those emails, you have to restore as new, i.e. without your backup, as roaminggnome suggested.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

    How can I stop Maverick OS X from downloading?

    There are multiple ways to configure the proxy settings on a Mac it sounds like your trying to do it manually. All the places I have been that have used a proxy server have used the "Auto Proxy Discovery" method and this has worked fine. This will work fine for multiple user accounts on multiple Macs.
    For those unaware "Auto Proxy Discovery" uses WPAD (Windows Proxy Auto-Discovery) protocol. This means it either 'learns' the address to download a PAC file from via DHCP option code 252 (preferred), or if it cannot get that address via DHCP it tries using the DNS method.
    All the Mac web-browsers use the proxy settings learned via System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies however some other software particularly command-line tools may need configuring individually. For example curl needs to be told separately.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

    How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
    I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step.  I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

    Hi furiousbalancing,
    With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
    To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
    Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
    You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
    You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

    How can I stop the Drudgereport page from autorefreshing? None of the standard answers work.
    ''locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/775159 ''

    Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

  • How can I stop my photo stream from sharing with my other devices?

    My mom and I both have iphones and whenever one of my friends or I set up a photo stream she gets it too. How can I stop this from happening?

    To fix this you need to be on a separate iCloud account (when you share and account, you share your photo stream).  To migrate your phone to a separate account, start by saving any photos not in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  (Deleting the account only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your mom's phone wont be effected by this.  Also, you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes and App Store purchasing, it doesn't need to be the same as your iCloud ID.)  Once you are on a different account, your photo stream will be no longer be merged with your mother's.

  • How can I stop my home page from opening OVER a page from a link I just clicked on?

    If I click on a link from an email, Firefox always opens 2 pages with my home page (Google) covering up the page I clicked the link to go to. How can I stop it from doing that?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think since I got the most recent upgrade (3.6.7)

    There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash: suddenly, the previous window (typically the one from which you launched the link or bookmark) comes back to the front.
    The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
