Mac looking for missing NAS drive upon startup

Every time I reboot I get a message that an old NAS drive I used to have can't be found. How can I get my Mac to stop looking for that drive when it boots up?

Check +System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items.+
If the drive is shown there, highlight it and click the minus sign at the bottom.

CS3, mac, now opens my NAS drive upon startup of DW

Just wiped my macbook clean, and did a brand new fresh
install of OSX, and my new CS3 Design Premium. Now, when I open
Dreamweaver, my NAS drive mounts ever time. Makes no sense. Why
would this be?

answered it myself. I went to PReferences, Preview in Browser
tab...I deleted the 3 default browsers. Quit, restarted, and the
NAS drive did not mount. Weird.

OS X keeps looking for missing network drive

Hi there,
I notice, I am not the first to ask the question, but is has not yet been answered and I'm a bit puzzled. I am using OS X 10.7 by now and ever since OS 10.6 I have noticed that - sometimes - finder seems to be looking for a network drive (a former time capsule) that is no longer mounted and available. Every once in a while I get the message that the drive "name" cannot be found.
Where can I check to get rid of any references to that old drive? It must be mapped somehwere, alas, I don't know where.
It is not in the startup items, I've checked there and there is no file sharing activated.
Thanks in advance, Alex.

I think this solved my problem, after having checked Console:

I am looking for a backup drive for my macbook pro, any suggestions?

I have a macbook pro and I am looking for a backup drive. There are so many out there and I would like suggestions for which one to purchase. Thanks!

Pretty much any drive will work, but for a laptop, you might like to get a portable drive (doesn't require that you connect it to power) with USB3. Thunderbolt drives are also available, but they're more expensive and no faster than USB3 for a single hard drive.
I personally like the Lacie rugged series: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9377ZM/A/lacie-1tb-rugged-hard-drive-triple-u sb-30-5400-rpm?fnode=5f
If you shop around you should be able to get it a little cheaper than Apple's prices.

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

Looking for external hard drive for Mac book air

I'm looking for a external hard drive for my Mac book air

What features are important to you?
Size?
Capacity?
Speed?
Price?
Reliability?
HDD or SSD?
Desktop or portable?
Just about any USB external drive will function properly, with only a few exceptions. I would avoid the Toshiba Canvio using USB 3.0, as it has been the topic for numerous threads here wherein users have had problems using them with the MacBook Air.
My personal favorite external HDD right now is the Seagate GoFlex, as I can use them with the Thunderbolt adapter. But I have been eyeing the new LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt.
For super speed, I use a Crucial model M4, either using the Seagate Thunderbolt adapter, or I have some mounted in USB 3.0 housings.

Startup hang looking for missing file

DVD SP 4.2
Hangs looking for a file it can't find.
'stop" won't stop it.
reinstalled and it does the same.
i guess its a file from a previous job that's been deleted.
how to fix?

Are you clicking on a prior project to open DVD SP (it sounds like it)
If so, just try launching the application directly.
If that does not help, delete DVD SP preferences and/or repair permissions and try again. (Though you mentioned you reinstalled the app coulkd be something else then - did you get all updates?)
repairing permissions -> go to Utilities folder open up disk utilty and then the first Tab is first aid. Highlight the disk then select repair disk permissions.
As to preferences delete the file User->Library-Preferences->com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist and also com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist if needed
As an aside on prior projects you should be able to skip past the missing files, though if you have many files or bought in reference movies from Final Cut, it can take a long time

Looking for HP Basic Driver only for hp 2610 all-in-one printer

I have windows 7( Just recently installed) and a HP 2610 all-in-one printer.
I just wanted to download the printer driver only and not the HP Photosmart and office software Suite.
This webside say the printer driver only is availble as a separate download named "HP Deskjet Basic Driver"
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-76831-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
But I cannot locate the webside for the Basic driver only for Windows 7 OS. Can somebody locate the web address of "HP Deskjet Basic Driver" for me please.
Regards

I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result. Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper"
I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem.
I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner. One for black and one for color. The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down. Currently the black ink icon is missing
This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem. The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs. This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
I want to thank you for all of your efforts. Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer. As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

Looking for Keyence Instrument driver for LV.

Looking for instrument driver for LV developed for the Keyence LS-7500 series micrometer. Has anything seen any or done this already? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have already checked NI's listing of instrument drivers to no success.

Hello-
There are no drivers listed for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. You may want to contact Programmed Test Sources to see if they have a LabVIEW driver for their instrument. If they don't, you can easily create a low-level driver by configuring an I/O assistant VI for each function in the manual. Once you have this low level driver you can just combine functions to make higher level VIs. Alternatively, you can hire an Alliance Member to write an driver for you.

Win7 install looking for CD ROM driver (after loading from CD) cannot find it so fails to install.

Product: HP-IQ-775
OS? Gone!- Was WIndows Vista HP-SP2, but System Recovery wiped it out!
Error Msg: Current message that is stopping the installation of Windows 7 is "Missing CD/DVD ROM Driver- Please insert disk, or browse to location of driver" Browse accnot find driver needed (whatever it is... it is running form the bootable CD drive, so obviously it found something!)
Changes? Oh yeah, you bet!! I have had so many problems with this machine, I cannot list them all. After running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which reported only 2 issues, both software and both resolved, all OS upgrades installed, all drivers updated, ran the MS Malicious Software app, then attempoted an upgrade from Windows Vista- Home Premium, Service Pack 2. Long story short, after 3 days of 'installing Windows 7' on the screen, it failed. No explanation just "update failed, system will rollback to Vista". The rollback was uneventful, but sytem began having problems. Missing drivers, USB ports failed, CPU Fan Failure shut downs, blue screen after blue screen. I sent my system logs to an MCSE 'expert' and he reported " there are so many issues in the logs, that it would be a miracle if the machine ever ran again" He suggested Formatting the drive and instaling Win 7 clean. WIth far too much going on with projects, I could not do this. Ultimately, Updates would not work, A/V software would not update, Vdeo software would not run. I contacted Microsoft, and after a week or so of email volleys, they escalated it to thieir 'expert', who after a few hours troubleshooting remotely, and multiple failed System Restores, said the only hope was a System Recovery.
After backing up everything today, I did the System Recovery from the Factory Image, the result was fatal! It went through the first half, erasing my operating sytem and associated files, drivers etc, it reported "Error found in Sytem Configuration, System Recvovery not completed", leaving me with an X drive, a C: drive tith nothing on it, and between the two, sho about 30GB of space total, on a 500GB drive!
I figured this would be the best time to do a 'clean install' of Windows 7, as I no longer had an OS to upgrade! I ran my Win7 Install disk, which ran fine, loaded its files, then reported "missing CD/DVD driver. PLease insert floppy, CD or flash drive, or browse to external drive with driver location"
Needless to say, I could find noting that it would accept. I even downloaded a driver from TSST (CD OEM) but the installer would not accept it from the flash drive. That is where I am now. No OS loaded, partitions screwed up, command prompt finds noting but X: (Recovery files?)29GB, and C: what is left of it, it shows 9GB. Where is the rest of my disk? Who knows.
I have 5 external drives, full system backup on one, all data files on another, System Recovery Backup on another, but cannot access anything with no OS. I can only use the Win7 install boot disk to access the computer at all, and it has limited functionality.
I am writing from my HP-dv-9720 notebook, which has its own OS issues (still running on Vista basic as it will not install SPs), so it is available for email and driver downloads if necessary.
Anyone want this challenge?
Thanks
Doug

WOW! 9 months later and not a sigle response. And now I am back! (Windows7 worked fine BTW!) Now I have the FAN FAILURE, yet the only thing that works on the computer, IS the FAN!! HP is ware of this problem but has done nothing except post a bunch of unrelatre (to IQ-775) stuff! A replacement fan (not that it is needed) is over $300, almost half of what I paid for the entire system!! BS! This is a latent defect and should be fixed by HP!
I currently have 3 HP computers, 5HP printers and an HP plotter! I have been a loyal HP customer fore over 20 years! IF they do not fix this, FREE, I will NEVER buy another HP product again! That is a promise! This is pure BS! The machine will not boot due to a false "fan failure' report. both fans are running fine, and always have. The defect is in the reporting software or fan firmware, NOT the fan!
I will be back in 9 months to answer myself again!

Looking for a hard drive for a 2007 Macbook Pro

I am looking around to replace my 160 gig hard drive for something larger.
These are my choices:
Hitachi 500GB Travelstar SATA 7200 RPM
Hitachi Travelstar 5K500.B - 500GB 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM 8MB
Fujitsu MJA2500BH-G2 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB
I am just looking for something that won't wear down the battery, vibrates or produce some noises. Some speed increase would be nice if possible.
I may pick the Hitachi 500GB Travelstar SATA 7200 RPM. But I am not 100% sure if this is a good drive or not.

I would choose anything that Other World COmputing would recommend.
But before I swapped out to a 500GB drive, I would make sure I had redundant backup plans in place: both an external local drive, and offsite backup.
500GB is an awful lot of data to lose when the drive fails. And it WILL fail at some point.
What can you possibly fill up 500GB with? If movies or music, that stuff may be better off on its own, small, sleek, 7200RPM hard drive all the time (plus an offsite backup). If you're editing movies, the professionals don;t use their main drives for that - they use quality external drives for editing and storage (plus, of course, an off-site backup).
Yes, I upgraded my MacBook Pro's hard drive to 200GB (original 7200RPM option was only 100GB). But I cannot fathom - ME, personally - filling up my MacNookPro's internal drive with 500GB of important data. I have a music drive, and work on other large work files on external 7200RPM drives.
Whatever you do, please have reliable, regular backup schemes in place.

Looking for Essbase ODBC driver for iBATIS.

I've seen this question posted 2-3 times before but not with any solid answer. I'm deloping a piece of Java code that is going to use iBATIS SQL mapping (not really important I guess) to connect to an Essbase database sitting on a Microsoft box and insert information into the tables. Is there a JDBC/ODBC driver available for this? I remember something about the driver being on the server itself with the install but what is the location of it? Looking for any help, thanks.

Anyone?

Best way to look for missing sequencial numbers in infocube?

I'm looking for some ideas on the best way to do the following:
The characteristic transaction number is in a cube by day, store, and register. I need to ensure there isn't a missing transaction number across days...
Example:
5/16        Store: 5     Register: 1       Txn: 12345
5/16        Store: 5     Register: 1       Txn: 12346
5/17        Store: 5     Register: 1       Txn: 12348
(So in the example above txn 12347 is missing.)
We are talking about 300,000 transactions per day
First Idea:
I was thinking about using an infopackage to extract the 2 days from the cube(600,000 records) and I could use ABAP in the start routine to figure out if there is a missing txn. Would that work? I vaguely remember something about a start routine only having access to a package, not the whole dataset.
Second Idea:
Is there a way to have a query get the last txn # from previous day and the first txn # from the current day? Then I could use a workbook with VBA to figure out the missing txns.
5/16        Store: 5     Register: 1       Txn: 12346
5/17        Store: 5     Register: 1       Txn: 12348
5/16        Store: 5     Register: 2       Txn: 67890
5/17        Store: 5     Register: 2       Txn: 67891
5/16        Store: 6     Register: 1       Txn: 45678
5/17        Store: 6     Register: 1       Txn: 45679
(This would be 1500 records since we have 150 stores, 5 registers each, for 2 days. 150 * 5 * 2)
Any other thoughts, ideas, or comments?
Thanks,
Chris

Not sure if the following method is the most intelligent, but worth a try if you have no better way...
1) Create a query with required variables (like Register, Calendar Day etc) placed in the free characteristics and the Txn Number placed in the rows. If the Txn number is a characteristic, from the properties, choose SORT ASCENDING. Else you can use listcube t-code and sort the output in the ascending order, then save the list as a local file (excel sheet) onto the desktop.
2) Create a separate Excel file with the transaction numbers in ascending order (assuming that you know the txn number range for those days in the period of interest). This is very easy to do in Excel especially since they will be in order (type 1 txn and drag it downwards which will increase the number serially).
3) Now that you have two files (first one is the as-is records and the second one ideal records) compare these two files using a software like <a href="http://www.scootersoftware.com/beycomp_062808.exe">Beyond Compare</a>. I have used this software before and found it to be useful.
Not sure if this helps, but good luck!
