Mounted shares are named different in the volume folder

Here's my problem. I have several clients that mount a share from a windows 2003 server. The odd thing is, that using the exact same FQDN in the "Connec to server" box, and and the exact same credentials, they still name them differently. Here is the output of ls /volumes to some of my clients. COMPANY is the same share as what others are calling pcserver.edit.oma (the FQDN name of the windows server)
e1 (192.168.2.11)
COMPANY
FinishedProjects
Macintosh HD
Video RAID
videoo raid
e3 (192.168.2.13)
COMPANY

E4 (192.168.2.14)

TIMS FLASH

r1 (192.168.2.21)

pcserver.edit.oma
pcserver.edit.oma-1
r2 (192.168.2.22)

Video RAID
pcserver.edit.oma
pcserver.edit.oma-1
r4 (192.168.2.24)
Macintosh HD
Video RAID
pcserver.edit.oma
pcserver.edit.oma-1
What is causing this naming difference? The volume on the sideabr still says COMPANY on the clients that mount the share as pcserver.edit.oma. This is extremely annoying because we share projects and people constantly have to reconnect files on that share.

Modified Paths:

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

How do I make the Volumes folder visible so it will back up using Time Machine?

Hi
How do I unhide the Volumes folder for backing up using Time Machine?

OK I have to say this even though you probably realize it, having anything but mount points in the Volumes folder, especially regular files that are critical to you is really a bad bad idea.
You should do everything in your power to correct this asap.
In the meantime as to Time Machine, your profile says you are running 10.6.8 is that correct? TM has changed some since then.
Basically if you are not excluding system files from the backup the Volumes folder should be in the backup. If the regular files are in there is an other issue.
You can check by opening a Terminal window cd to your TM backup drive then into the .backup folder. Pick a backup and see if the Volumes folder is there and if the files are in it.
But again having anythgin in there is going to be a problem.
good luck

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

How to supress the Volumes folder?

A few days ago I've created a new account in my Mac and from this time now a Volumes folder appears next to Users, System, Lybray and Applications folders. Now, I'm only using one only account but the Volumes folder still appears. Is there any way to supress this folder and avoid it in a new reboot?.
Thanks in advance.

The /Volumes folder contains aliases to all of your mounted volumes (disks), and is normally invisible. You can reset the visible property by copying the following AppleScript into the Script Editor and running it:
tell application "System Events" to set visible of folder "Volumes" of startup disk to false
You may need to restart the Finder (or log out/in) for it to take effect.

Files from Windows 7 are not alphabetized correctly on OS X, and can match identically named files in the same folder

I receive MS Word files from students using Macs or Windows-based computers. This year, files prepared by students using Windows 7 are not alphabetized correctly on my Mac (under Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion). The same four students keep having their files put at the END of the alphabetical sort by name, even though the files should appear earlier in the list. I have to copy the file contents and paste the contents into a new document to get the new document to appear in the right order, and if I do so, then BOTH the old and new files appear in the Finder, even though the names appear to be identical! So can have to files with the same name in the same folder, which ought to be impossible. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Bingo!
The problem is not the letters themselves, but non-letter characters in the file name; this showed up with the fixed-width fonts. The apparent duplicates and mis-sorting are caused by dashes, which differ because they're done as en-dashes in one file name and em-dashes in the other file name, or by curly or straight apostrophes. I didn't see that in the Finder window.
I never saw this behavior before this year. Last year, when I was using a Mac for the first time, I did not see any such problem, even though my students' files were named using the same conventions. When I was using a Windows-based laptop before that, I never saw the problem.
Windows must do something to style the non-letter characters differently than a Mac. Is there any place in Windows Explorer or the OS X Finder that styles characters this way? I can see this being a big problem for someone who needs to sort very important data by name, when the files are coming from different operating systems!
(I just Googled en-dash, em-dash, and curly quotes with file names, and found a good number of posts on various sites about similar problems based on ASCI character coding, html coding, Windows Explorer, and other applications. Sometimes the files don't appear at all, because the application reading the file name can't deal with a certain ASCI code. What a mess.)

HT201401 Volume buttons are not working and the volume option is not showing up on screen for me to be able to adjust it. My silent switch is not turned on.

I went to turn my app on that plays my music at night while I sleep and the volume buttons on the side of the phone don't work. The volume slider isn't even showing up on the screen in any of the apps that have audio available. I have restarted the phone numerous times, looked in settings, made sure my phone is up to date, and made sure that the "silent switch" is on. I checked to make sure that I can hear the alarms I have set go off, but the volume isn't working any where else on the phone.

Do the basic troubleshooting steps: Restart, Reset, Restore using a backup, Restore as new. (See User Guide, Appendix B)

Can you only share files that reside in the public folder

We have a few macs on our home network, and sometimes we share files.
But when I want to copy a file from say my wife's computer which is named "Jane's mac", when I connect, I only can copy a file from her shared folder.
Is there any way to open up the files so they can be shared with everyone on the network, or do we have to put them in the shared folder.
Obviously security is an issue as I wouldn't want anyone to be able to get access to our home folders, but just out of convenience, I was curious.
Thanks.
Russell

I should add that this is on the computer on which you want to share from. Then you can set whatever user(s) that are set up on that computer that you want to be able to access those shared folders. The user can be one with an account on the computer from which you're sharing, or in the Address Book on that system, or some other places. Then from the other computer you connect using the user name and password you've allowed access.
Hope this helps.

I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size. They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder. I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

I have lost pictures in my iPhoto. We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing. Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture. When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open. However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb). How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder? I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file. Help!!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My downloads are not appearing in the download folder

(using mac) My download window--I can click on items that are there and "show in finder" and then they appear in the finder...but otherwise, my downloads folder has no new items in it and even if I search with the right file name, it will not appear.
I recently--the same date that the most recent file is appearing--went from one Mac to the other. No idea what is happening..

Did you check the settings for the download manager?
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember download history"
You can also see all downloads in the Downloads folder the Library (History > Show All History).
You can also check the <b>browser.download.manager.retention</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it still has the default value of 2 (manually remove downloads).

Photo's are offline but in the same folder as before

Hello ppl,
My English is not verry good but I'll try to descripe my problem:
I use Lightroom for about 1 year, yesterdag I have re-installed my iMac and backupt the " Lightroom 2 Catalog.lrcat " and the " Lightroom 2 Catalog Previews.lrdata "
Also all my photo's who are stored in my Pictures folder on my iMac. They were sorted by Lightroom by date. So I have a folder 2009 and a folder 2010 with more folders with the exact date inside the year folder and in that folder the original RAW photo.
Now I have put the 2009 and the 2010 folder back to the same location as before re-install. Now I see all my photo's in LR like normal, but when I zoom in it says the file is missing/offline...
The only thing that I have changed is my Profile name. Before it was " iLucas " and now " Lucas " .. So maybe LR can't find the RAW foto's because it's looking for users/iLucas/pictures/YEAR-folder instead of users/Lucas/pictures/YEAR-folder..
I really want it back as it was before re-installing. Who can help me?
Thank you very much!
Lucas

Yes I found it!
THANKS!!

Spam mails are not deleted from the spam folder

In the account settings, I have set the spam mail to be automatically deleted after one day. In spite of that, spam mail in the spam folder is not automatically deleted at any time, even if I restart Thunderbird. In the end, I always have to clean the spam folder manually.

Thanks for your quick answers!
I realized that I didn't select the option 'enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account', but, even selecting it, the junk mails are not automatically cleaned. I tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the computer, and even manually changing the date and restarting Thunderbird, but nothing worked.
I checked the entries in the advanced configuration, and they are all correct.
My aim, as it was with the other problem I posted, is just to help to improve the development of Thunderbird by pointing the bugs. But they are actually really minor issues and not a real problem for me. So don't worry if the problem is not finally solved.
And thanks again!

HT1386 My ipod and my itunes library are significantly different with the itunes library being smaller. If I say "synch", is my ipod going to look like my library ( which I do not want)

For some reason my IPOD and my Itunes account appear to be greatly out of synch. However I am afraid to lose everything on my IPOD. Should I synch?

Use the manual method of syncing. You then only sync the iTunes you check to sync to your iPod. For how see the manual method here:
