How Do I find out what app is auto-mounting a network share and stop it?

I have a new laptop, the 13" rMBP.  I installed Steam and wanted to use the network share on my server to store the game files.  Everything went OK.  I closed Steam, disconnected the share and shutdown my laptop.  When I opened my laptop later on at work, it started to try and mount the network share.It keeps on going it.  I removed the Steam app and all files related to Steam that I could find.  I've looked at fstab, auto_home, auto_master and a large list of other files and directories and I *still* cannot find the offending file that's auto-mounting the share.  It's really frustrating.
The share auto-mounts when I am home but not on the desktop or in finder.  I find it by looking at /Volumes/ in terminal.  If I mount the share manually under /Volumes/ it shows as Games-1 and mounts on the desktop under Games.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking to find the offending process/file/daemon?
Thank you!
Trevor

thanks for the reply but are you sure about this? What difference would it make? Why 5 apps?
Even if it does work, which I doubt, at some point, I will have to resync ALL my apps again and surely the same thing will happen again, and I will be none the wiser. I still won't know which app it is. There must be a way of finding this out.
Any ideas?
What is really freaking me out is how it is connecting to my carrier (who is charging me) with Cellular data switched off.......?
Thanks again.

  • I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • How can I find out what apps are on my step daughters phone without the phone?

    How can I find out what apps are on my step daughters phone without the phone? She is on my phone plan but does not live with me and I am concerned about the apps she may be using.

        baniville108,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. We certainly know the importance of being able to know what options are available with your device. With apps on devices, thoses are specific to the phone itself, so there is no open forum to view what apps are downloaded. The only option would be to physically review from the phone, or if you have the same Apple ID you can log into it and view from there. Please let us know if you need anymore assistance.
    Thank you,

    How do I find out what app was deleted by mistake on my iphone5?

    Do you mean that you deleted an app by mistake and you don't know which one it was?
    Look for it in the Apps section of iTunes. If you used iTunes to sync your phone, just choose Install next to the app, then resync.

  • I have an app using data every three hours...how do i find out what app it is?

    I have an app using significant amounts of data every three hours.  How do I find out what app it is?

    I don't know what you're basing the 'every three hours' thing on, but if you're looking at the bill from your carrier, remember that data usage is not reported in real time. It's reported in batches. It's more likely that the data usage is being 'reported' every three hours.
    Look in Settings>Cellular. You can see how much data each app has used and control what's allowed to use cellular data and what's not.

  • How do I find out what app is connecting to the internet

    Something on my iPhone 4 (fully updated) is constantly trying to connect to the internet via 3G, costing me a lot of money when I am not connected via WLAN! I can't work out what it is, but presume it is an app. How can I find out what is doing it?
    I have tried deleting the cache, resetting the phone, etc. Nothing has worked. I even turned off 3G, cellular data, etc. and it STILL connected. How does that work?!
    Can anyone help?
    thank you!
    kind regards, Gordon

  • How can i find out what app is using data at 5am

    i have used an unusual amount of data this month.  something on my phone is using data at 5am every morning.  its not me.  how can i find out what it is?

    The times reported for data usage on your bill do not necessarily reflect the time the data was actually used. The system gathers information from the cell sites and reports on a schedule.

  • If i delete an app, how can i find out what app did i delete

    My son delete an app. Can I find out
    what app did he delete?

    Not exactly.
    You can open the App Store app > Purchased > Not on this iPad and you will see a list of apps you own that are not installed on the iPad. I believe the newest ones are listed first.

  • How can I find out what apps I've purchased are stored in the cloud

    I changed phones and am trying to find out if the apps that I have purchased on my iPhone are stored in the cloud so I can bring them down to my ipod touch.

    Unless they've been removed from the iTunes Store, they'll be available in the iCloud; click here and follow the instructions. Note that a few iOS applications won't work on an iPod touch.

  • How do you find out what apps have been downloaded to what phone with 5 lines under one apple ID?  HELP Nobody from the stores know how to do it.

    How can you get a list of apps that were downloaded from each indivudal phone?  The are under one Apple ID.  Ex:  Phone #1234 has downloaded Facebook and Twitter.  Phone # 4567 downloaded Angry Birds and Temple Run.  Etc.    Even the people at ATT and Apple don't know how to retrieve it. 

    There is no such list of what is downloaded to each phone except in the backup. So if you have a recent backup of each phone you should be able to find an app that reads the backup files and would tell you what list is saved of the content on each phone.

  • How do I find out what the file size is before I purchase and download a movie?

    I cannot find the file size for movies or TV shows anywhere on iTunes. I need to know how big the file is before I download it.

    What is "Other"
    It’s generally a combination of local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games, app-specific documents and data, notes, and voice memos.
    You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

  • How can find out what app was charged on my account. I don't recall buying one

    How can I find out what app what charged to my account. I don't remember downloading a non free one on sept 22,2013

    The last four digit of what?
    Why are you telling us?
    We are itunes users just like you.  You are not addressing Apple here.
    Look in your purchase history to see what you have purchased.

  • HT5622 I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app.  How can I find out what she purchased?  Can I get credit for it?  I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.

    I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app.  I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.  How can I find out what she purchased?  Can I get credit for it? 

    The password is good for 15 minutes to make purchases. You should receive a receipt in 24 to 48 hours for the purchases. There is a link to Report an issue. You could use that to start a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund.
    Apple considers all sales final. But has been known to offer a one time refund. So the question is, do you want to use your one time refund on this purchase or one more expensive in the future?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
