Macbook is always trying to connect to an other one which is not switched on

Hello,
I have a redundant problem :
My Mac Book is always trying to connect to an other one which is not  switched on.
I used Drive mounter, but I deleted the device that my Mac has tryed to connect with.
Have you a solution to stop this behavior
Thanks

This sounds like it may be a question for the developers of Drive Mounter, as it sounds like that may still be trying to connect to that remote volume.
You could rule out other things before contacting them by checking your login items in System Preferences -> Users & Groups. Make sure that volume is not in that list. Also, check any other apps or services that may be automatically making use of that volume, such as Time Machine.

  • How to prevert 2 computers from always trying to connect via bluetooth, how to prevert 2 computers from always trying to connect via bluetooth

    I just bought my wife a iMac. Now her iMac and my Macbook Air are always trying to connect via bluethooth. I use a bluetooth mouse and she has the bluethooth keyboard and trackpad, so turning bluetooth off is not the best answer.
    Thanks

    What's the problem?  In theory a BT device can only pair with one machine at a time.

  • How do I stop my MacBook Pro from trying to connect to a home Server?

    My Macbook Pro keeps trying to connection to an external harddrive server that I run at home when I am not home. I get an error that the server is not available. I checked the console and it gives an error of AFP_GetServerInfo - can not connect 64. I have removed from my favourite servers connections, I have deleted all programs that start automatically but nothing seems to fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
    I'm running a 2014 13" Macbook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3.
    Cheers,

    There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve. Please take whichever of the following steps is applicable that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
    Step 1
    If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
    Step 2
    If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
    Step 3
    You may have created aliases to files or folders on the server. If you don't know whether you did that, you can find all aliases as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemContentType=com.apple.alias-file
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    The search window will now show all aliases on mounted volumes. You can see the target of each alias by selecting it and opening the Info window. Delete any that refer to the server.
    Step 4
    Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
    Step 5
    Copy the line below to the Clipboard as in Step 3:
    ~/Library/PDF Services
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
    Step 6
    Open the folder
    ~/Library/Preferences
    as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
    Log out and back in again, and test.
    Step 7
    Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
    Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
    If you get the alert when connecting an iOS device with iTunes, re-create your iTunes library and playlists. See also this discussion.
    Step 8
    Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
    Step 9
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Step 10
    Launch the Directory Utility application. Depending on what version of OS X you have, you may be able to do that by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. If that doesn't work, triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices
    Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder named "CoreServices" will open. The Directory Utility application is in that folder, or in a subfolder named "Applications".
    In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and /Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
    Step 11
    Open the following file as you did in the last step:
    /etc/auto_master
    It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master          # Use directory service
    /net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers     -fstab
    /-               -static
    If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

  • MacBook Air keeps trying to connect to old server

    My new MacBook Air, just like its predecessor iBook, keeps trying to connect to an old server which I am not using (having moved to a different continent!). I have tried deleting it using Finder - Go - Conneact to Server, but it persists. It flashes up the error messaage: "There was a problem connecting to the server XXX. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." I have done all this, but it makes no difference. Can you help please? I use a Time Capsule as my router, with an AirPort Express booster in another room, and my main iMac desktop does not have this problem. The old network was in use in the UK, and I will want to connect to it there when I visit from time to time.
    Many thanks
    John

    Check the Login Items in the Users & Groups section of system Preferences for a reference to this old server. If it is there highlight it and click the Minus ( - ) button.

  • On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy".

    On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to a proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy". I have to manually go to "network settings" and set it to "no proxy" every time I start Firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    Hi,
    use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/ to clone the OSX from your internal SSD to the external USB-connected one.
    Boot OSX from the external harddisk and install what programs/apps you want.
    No need to buy another OSX as Apple explicitly allows such usage.
    I don't have a MBA so I can't comment on the USB-hub.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Have a bluetooth issue, my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

    my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

    have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new. 
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • HT4623 Each time I attempt update to iOS 6.1.1, I get a failure message saying I am no longer connected to the Internet. Which is not true

    Each time I attempt update to iOS 6.1.1, I get a failure message saying I am no longer connected to the Internet. Which is not true. How should I proceed?

    Daria-H, I get the same error. Trying on an iPad Mini.
    Neto, I guess we could try plugging it to a computer. However, I am surprised I have to do that. It should work over the air, shouldn't it?

    Hello,
    Thanks for your message, I have attempted to repait the permissions as tou suggested.  The first time this produced a long list of exceptions and took quite a while, however although it said "Permissions repair Complete" when I ran it again there were still about 20 exceptions, I have repeated the procedure and this is unchanged.  The Time Capsule now does not spend hours "Preparing", but the backup attempt fails after a few minutes with the error message "The backup volume could not be mounted."  Any further ideas would be appreciated.   When I use Disk Utility I can't see the Time Capsule volume, if I could I'd be tempted to re-format it and start from scratch. 

  • Macbook pro keeps trying to connect to an old server

    I have a macbook pro, just updated to OSX mavericks, when I turn the machine on, it will keep trying to connect to an old server that no longer exists (a windows pc I had at home I called "estudio"); how can I fix this? where is that the OS keeps the list of servers that the machine has been connected to? I already went through the option of "deleting all the list of recent servers" on the Connecting to a Server window.
    Thanks for any help

  • Iphone 4 always tries to connect to 3g even when there is no 3g.

    ..... So simply it never ever connects to GPRS or EDGE which is an absolute pain because I work and live in a place with limited 3G. Can anyone recommend a solution?

    If the option to disable 3G is not available on your phone, that's because your carrier has decided to remove it. Probably because they are in the process of completely shutting down their EDGE network (AT&T's is scheduled to be almost completely gone by the end of 2014).
    Contact your carrier.
