How to remove a mounted drive at startup in a mobile account, using netinfo

How does one remove an mounted drive at startup in a mobile account, using netinfo?
One of the user automatically mounts a network drive on her new intel Macbook in her portable account. Trouble is that the network drive is only available on the intranet. So when she is on the road, it take the Macbook very long 3-4 minutes before it let's her log in.
Simply I thought to remove the drive on her macbook through the system preferences -> account -> login items. However the "login Item" GUI is very slow to respond and if it respond it does not let me remove the network drive. I tried this both on the intranet and off the network.
I tried to remove the mounted drive at start up through the workgroup manager, but it does not show up there.
So I thought that I try to use netinfo on the local machine. But I can't find where mounting info is stored in a mobile account. I thought it would be in the local @ localhost or should I connect to an other DB?

The login items are not stored in Netinfo, they are stored in loginwindow.plist in the users Library/Preferences. You can either remove the entries for the server or simply trash that file and let a default one get recreated.

How do get a mounted drive to always be shown in 'devices'?

Hello,
some time ago, I accidentally clicked "remove" on a mounted drive which was shown in the devices section of finder, on the left. Now, whenever I mount a drive on my desktop, it doesn't show in devices unless I drag it there - and then disappears again on restart. Any ideas how I can get it to stay in the devices section whenever it's mounted?
Thanks!

Would it help if I just trash the preferences? Which file(s) should I look for?
Yes.
Users/yourname/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

How to remove a mapped drive

Hi all,
i created a mapping in my iMac pointing to a folder on my notebook with windows.
When I start Parallels to run a Windows VM and my notebook is not connected to the lan, the system stays popping up a message saying "The connection fails, maybe the server Notebook doesn't exists or blablabla...".
I would like to know how to remove this mapping because it doesn't appear on my Mac Desktop if my notebbok is connected to the lan, but when using Parallels, is almost impossible to work with the message popping up all the time.
TIA,
Alano.

The drive doesn't appear on the list...
That's the problem...I don't know where should I go to exclude this configuration...

Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
Thanks

Hi
This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

How to remove an external drive from time machine backup

In time machine I also backup to an external drive. I recently bought a new external drive and thats working fine. However, it still wants to backup to my previous drive which I dont want to use. In time machine preferences I see the old and new drive listed. Both are greyed out so I cannot deselect the older drive.
Suggestions?

So when I open time machine preferences I see time machine and both external drives listed. If I click on options I see both external drives but I cant select either as they are both greyed out.
If you see them both listed on the initial screen of TM prefs, they are both selected as backup drives. They are not being backed up. They are being used by Time Machine as a destination. You need to use “Select Disk…” to remove the external drives from the destination drives. Select Disk does not choose the drives you want to back up. It chooses the drives you wan to back up to.

How to remove stuck optical drive carrier

I'm in the process of replacing a worn out Optical Drive in my 2007 Mac Pro Tower. When I got to the 'remove the optical drive carrier,' the stinker comes out about 3/4 inch and then no further. I don't want to force it of course. Anyone else ever have the same problem?

I posted same question, got no answer so found a solution? for Mac Pro 3.1 early 2008 version.
This only can be done if you have 2 super? drive bays with lower unoccupied.
In my case it did not move at all in attempt to pull it out - in fact it is stuck on two screws that act as posts and are in slots in the bottom side of aluminum tray that it is supposed to slide out from. You don't see these until you get it out.
In your case with 3/4" opening, first try pulling one side then other, rocking, prying, a small crow bar. Try harder.
no, not the jack hammer.
Failing all else,
1) lay the computer - open side panel down - on the floor.
2) slide the lower unoccupied DVD tray open with your finger and insert a blunt object (I used big old blunt screw driver) into the opening aimed down towards the floor. When you apply force to the inserted object, it is in the direction that enclosure must be pulled to get it out normally and on the side where it is stuck. You may have to strike the object, as I did, before enclosure will come free.

How to remove a duplicate driver?

i have a Leybold 23xxxx pressure meter. By accident there are two Leybold 23xxxx drivers in the system now and i get strange errors with my VIs.
I have installed one driver via LV (this is a very old version)
and there is another (newer) Version i dont know where it came from and why NI did not install the latest version.
How can i remove the unused drivers?
There is a old unused 2009 LV version still installed, but i could not find a uninstaller. Will i have to remove it with some tricks, or can it stay?

Instrument drivers are in the "LabVIEW\instr.lib" folder. Each driver should be in its own folder. To delete it, just delete the folder. You may need to update the palette menu to reflect the removal of the directory.
Also, what do you mean by NI installing the driver? Are you referring to using the Help -> Find Instrument Driver? If so, what did you enter in the search criteria? Leybold isn't even in the list of manufacturers.

How to remove an unknown item from startup?

I have an HP printer, which automatically installed two applications at my MPB startup.
The problem is that one of them (HP EventHandler) is described as an unknown kind and therefore cannot be removed, even after I insert my password.
I've already tried to delete the another one (HP Scheduler), but it doesn't make any difference to the Event Handler.
I would appreciate any other ideas.

Uninstall and reinstall the HP software that came with the unnamed HP machine, go to HP's site, and install the latest drivers for it, and finally reinstall the latest HP update from Apple. BTW, that app exists in /Library/Printers/hp/hpio/ and there's an HP launch agent in /Library/LaunchAgents/.

Time Machine, how to remove dead external drive ?

When an external drive started behaving irrationally, I transferred all video projects to a new drive. Now I noticed that this no longer existing old drive with all its 242GB contents still appears on my TM backups.
Is there a way to remove it in order to free badly needed space on the TM?

No, you need to use the Time Machine interface, not the Finder.

How to remove essbase add-in during startup

Figured it out. Sorry trying to delete this.

same. I need an uninstaller, please. I prefer that I join a Connect session IN Safari, not with the pop-up Adobe Connect window which always crashes my audio and freezes my computer.
