How to stop auto-mount of server?

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue on a client's iMac that I am providing tech support for. It was originally configured by another IT person who is now unable to be contacted.
The iMac seems to have some sort of auto-mount in operation that periodically connects to a shared folder hosted on another iMac on the network, but with the incorrect permissions. If I eject the server, it reappears soon afterwards on the Desktop. It looks like this:
Double-clicking the icon brings up a message that the Shared files can't be accessed because of insufficient permissions.
I have looked in the Login Items, Startup Items, LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons but can't find any evidence of any script or plist that might be causing this auto-mount behaviour.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers,
Greg

Great idea! However, I actually need access to a Shared folder on that Mac (with correct permissions). You'll see from my screenshot above that the same folder appears twice, once with the proper shared volume icon (with full access and correct permissions), and once with the 'folder with red bar' icon without any access (and incorrect permissions).
I might try deleting all keychain entries relevant to that shared folder and see if that helps.
If anyone else has any ideas, they would be gratefully received.

    Hey people please help me with my problem.

    Hi Gerald,
    Well, you're not alone. The question is why is this happening? Since the referenced link shows the same type of problem with Yahoo finance, I suspect there is a coding problem on the site, specific to how Firefox is reading the code. Not being a programmer, I can't offer specific advice other than contacting either Firefox through their Community forum, or Yahoo Finance.

  • How to turn off auto mounting of server on boot?

    I've got an old MacPro that is running Mavericks but is having an issue where the finder constantly crashes and restarts. I think it may have to do with a an old server (an external Mac mini) that would mount when the MacPro booted up because I now get an error message telling me that the Mac Pro can no longer find that server (which makes sense as it is no longer there). If I leave the error window open and don't click 'ok', the Finder remains intact and the crash loop does not begin. If I click 'ok' in the server connection error window, the problems begin.
    …So, where do I "turn off" this auto mounting of the old mac mini on boot? I've looked in my Login items in the system prefs and no such task is there, and I can no longer recall how i even set up this automount function.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Stop Auto Mount of SMB Home Folder

    For awhile, I tried SMB home folders for network users.  This worked poorly, so i went back to using AFP.
    However, for most users, their  network home folder is now getting auto mounted by SMB at login.
    I've checked WGM manager to make sure they have AFP homes and that no SMB home is assigned.
    I've checked the users control panel to see if there is an automount setup there.  Nothing.
    Where else could auto mount information be stored and how can I find it to wipe it out?

    Normally it would be a matter of changing the server to register the AFP share as an auto mount for user home directories, then you have to use Workgroup Manager to reconfigure each user to select the new share location which should now be listed in the Home tab in Workgroup Manager.
    If you only do the first step the user account will still be set to the original settings.
    Is this using Open Directory and a Mac file server? The process might be more complicated if your using Windows Active Directory, and typically a Windows server does not do AFP.

    Hi

  • How to stop auto comnnecting to share as AppleID (permissions)

    OK chaps and chapesses, I've had a search but the question I want to ask usually gets asked in reverse (how to connect as Apple ID).
    This is the scenario.
    1) I have 2 macs - a 2009 Mac Pro desktop and a 2011 MacBook Pro.
    2) They are (at the moment) exact clones of one another, both running ML (10.8.5)
    3) Both the MP and the MBP have an "admin" user (for admin only) and my main account for working (standard user).
    4) The Macs are connected to my home network via AFP shares using static IP addresses, (let's say afp://192.168.1.20 and 21)
    5) Both computers have different network share names (eg MyMBP and MyBigMac)
    I am trying to network them so that I can connect to either Mac from the other one to copy files across from one standard user's account, to maintain sync.
    Before anyone suggests iCloud, I cannot use this for my data storage as much of my data is subject to non-disclosure agreements and my clients' IT policies, which forbid cloud storage.
    Anyway, I've got no problem getting the Macs to see each other on the network – the problem is, every time I connect, it immediately connects under my Apple ID. This means the sharepoint (my home folder) mounts without giving me the option to "Connect as… Registered user" which is what I need to do. If I am connected as my Apple ID, I do not get the necessary permissions to move stuff around in the home folder of the other Mac. I know I need to log in as the standard user in both Macs and connect as such. The problem is stopping it auto-connecting as Apple ID.
    This problem happens whether I browse the network, or whether I Go>Connect to server.

  • PS migration: How to stop auto-creation of PR for completed activities?

    We are migrating project master & transactional data from R/3 4.7 to ECC5. In the old system, majority of the ext. activities in our projects already carries the status REL. Purchase Requisition was auto-created > PO done > GR/IR done > actual cost for the ext. activity already posted into the project.
    In our migration effort, we are transferring the whole project structure & master data from the old 4.7 to ECC5 and subsequently updating the system & user statuses of the whole project structure.
    How can we stop the system from auto-creating a PR again when the statuses are updated for those activities that are already completed, i.e. actual cost posted, as in 4.7 system?
    We thought of using the logic if a PO exist for the activity in the 'old' system, then the field AFVGD-AUDISP (Res/Pur.req) for the activity in CJ20N should be set to 'Never'. However, my ABAPer was saying this could not be done as AFVGD is a structure and not a table.
    Have any one of you face similar predicament? Is there other method to address this issue? Appreciate your assistance.
    Edited by: Quah Ai Ling on Jun 10, 2008 5:36 AM

    Hi Varshal,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    However, we thought of an alternate method that does involve changing the customers existing business process.
    1) Change the field AUDISP in the network profile to 1 "Never" for the conversion.
    2) Migrate the data. Program will create Networks, Activities & Components with the field AUDISP set to "Never create Reservation or Purchase Requisition".
    3) Change the field in AUDISP in the network profile back to "2 From Release".
    We will have to get the users to clean-up their data (close outstanding PRs or convert those PRs to POs) before this exercise for a clean cut-over.

  • How to stop auto generation of ids for h:dataTable

    I am using <h:dataTable> tag to display more than one error messages.
    My code goes like this
    <h:dataTable id="messagetb" value="#{searchZug.searchZugParam.allMessages}" var="message">
    <h:column>
    <h:outputText style="color:red;" value="#{message}" />
    </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
    When i run my application, console is displaying a message like
    'WARNING: Component _id79 just got an automatic id, because there was no id assigned yet. If this component was created dynamically (i.e. not by a JSP tag) you should assign it an explicit static id or assign it the id you get from the createUniqueId from the current UIViewRoot component right after creation!'
    I checked in the generated html source. It is generating id for tbody as 'messagetb:tbody_element', this is causing the problem.
    How can i stop this auto generation of ids? if not possible, then how can i explicitly specify the id for tbody?
    Thanks,

  • How to stop auto rotate of shapes in Illustrator CS4?

    When I create a shape, like a rectangle, it starts out slightly rotated or skewed. When I take another shape, like a half circle, and reflect it, it rotates at a slight angle. This happens every time I start a new file. I don't see rotation in the appearance panel. When I look at the transform panel it lists rotation at zero. Yet all of my shapes tilt down and to the right.
    How can I stop my shapes from auto rotating?
    Thank you,

    The Skyfire browser is the best solution I have found, so far. It's a browser that converts the videos on the fly. It doesn't work for other types of flash (games, ads, etc) but it does a good job with videos.

  • How to stop caching on the server

    Hello,
    Can anyone please guide me as to how do we disable caching on the

    Akshay,
    Ok, now I understand your problem. What you need to do is to changethe
    JSP
    operating parameters for this webapp. These parameters are found inthe
    weblogic.xml file associated with your webapp. The reference for thejsp
    descriptor element can be found here:
    http://edocs/wls/docs61/webapp/weblogic_xml.html#1012195
    I think the parameter you need to change is pageCheckSeconds. Ifyou set
    this to 0 then the page is checked every request.
    Hope this helps,

    after making any changes say for example if i change the table name
    from
    where the data is to be fetched
    it does not show me the new data it shows me the data from the previous

    Akshay,
    The design of the caching in portal is such that all changes should
    be
    reflected immediately, even across a cluster. However there isone
    outstanding issue around a performance enhancement for the anonymoususer
    case, where this cache is not updated unless the associated .portal
    file
    is
    datasynced. So for changes to the default group either test with
    a
    logged
    in
    user of this group or do a datasync to clear the cache.
    If this does not solve your problem please let us know.

    Adrian.

  • How to stop auto from-feed on a dot matrix printer for printing only a single line of data at a frequency of 30 seconds

    Hello friends
    In a particular application, it is required to print a single line of data on a dot matrix printer (continuous sheets) at a frequency of 30 seconds. That is printing is to be carried out line-by-line on the same form without a form feed.
    We are facing a problem of a form feed after printing of each line. Kindly help me to solve this problem of auto form-feed. How to continuously print at a regular interval without from-feeding.
    Shahid Baig

    Is this printer connected to a network?
    You may need to look at the printer manual to see if there is a setting for a form feed.  I remember when we had a dot matrix printer on the network about 12 years ago, there would be a network timeout setting of something like 30 seconds.  So if you didn't continue to send data, the network will end the print job and send the file to the printer which would auto form feed at the end.  Many of our basic programs had to be rewritten because they would do an LPRINT periodically, if you took along time progressing through the inputs, you would easily hit the 30 second timeout.  So all the programs had to be rewritten to save the data to be printed to a file, and only once you execute a print command, it would read the file back in and Lprint it (or a Print#1) to the LPT port.
    Since the printer was on the network, and basic could only print to LPT's, we had to use a net command to capture the LPT1 port and direct it to the network queue.
    I don't remember all the details, but those are the bits and pieces I do remember.  I think the answer to your problem lies in there somewhere.
    Namely:
    1.  Printer setting to auto form feed.
    2.  Network setting that closes print job after timeout period.
