Mounted shares disappear when logged in lock

when I re-login after user lock screen, the mounted shares are not visible on my desktop, i have to connect each time when I re-login, is there a way to organise this?

Clicking on the lock icon does not immediately unlock it.  A dialog box should appear, asking for Name and Password.  That is where you need to enter the name and password for an admin user, to "authenticate."

  • Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

    We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
    We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
    The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
    Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
    Any help will be appreciated

    Mike,
    We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
    1)     
    Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
    2)     
    Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
    3)     
    Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
    4)     
    Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
    Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
    Steps to clean boot machine:
    ================
    Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
    Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup>  Disable all
    Reboot
    Thanks,

  • Mail VIP list disappears when logging out/back in

    After upgrading mid-2011 iMac to Yosemite, my Mail application's VIP list disappears when I log out and log back in. I have to rebuild it each time by selecting VIP stars in each person's email.

    A little more possibly-useful information:
    The system typically gets into a bad state - neither firefox nor thunderbird able to start - after the computer goes to sleep (suspend) when I close the lid. Certain updates also break it. Yesterday I updated some rpm packages without incident, but updating the flash plugin caused problems.

  • Mount Home Directory when logged in locally

    I want an application that would ask for the users name and then mount and open their home directory. This will be used when a user is logged on locally and not via OD/AD. Can automator do this or should i stick to apple script. Right now my apple script looks like this.
    to getusername()
    display dialog "Enter your username:" default answer ""
    set username to text returned of result
    return {username}
    end getusername
    to getuserpwd()
    display dialog "Enter your password:" default answer "" with hidden answer
    set userpwd to text returned of result
    return {userpwd}
    end getuserpwd
    set username to getusername()
    set userpass to getuserpwd()
    tell application "Finder"
    if (username > 161000 and username < 169999) then
    open location "afp://" & username & ":" & userpass & "@wwrsdod2.wwrsd.org/HomeDirs/GY2016/" & username
    else
    open location "afp://" & username & ":" & userpass & "@wwrsdod2.wwrsd.org/HomeDirs/GY2015/" & username
    end if
    end tell
    But the finder opens up to the top level of the share and not the user's folder. Anyone help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi Tejas,
    usually when you see the server invalid (by the Yellow triangle on each repositories) means that your MDM server and MDM Clients have different version. Please, checks the version and be sure these are the same, or server version is more recent of the clients one.
    Take a look to this, may be it help:

  • Can't mount firewire disk when logging in remotely

    I've set up port forwarding on my router so that I can log in to my network remotely and grab files from my computer and various external drives. This works great, however, one disk, the only external firewire drive, doesn't show up in the list of things I can mount. Both internal ATA drives show up, as does the external USB drive, and any CDs/DVDs that happen to be in the player at the time. When I do a "get info" on the firewire drive it's permissions are set to read and write. I'm the only user set up on the computer and have admin privileges. Neither networking or privilege stuff are areas I know a ton about... what am I missing? Thanks!

    With Sharepoints, you can easily share external FW drives...

  • Smb share search when logged into AD domain.

    Logged into the Local user account and mounting the share via Apple "K" we can search the share wonderfully, once we have enabled indexing.
    But logged in as a network user you can't search for anything apart from files or folders which the user himself created, the drive does have indexing enabled but not sure how reliable the indexing is.
    The users have full rights on the share, and it makes no difference if they are admin users or not on the Mac. The windows srver is 2003 all the Macs are running Tiger fully updated and the OD server is running Tiger also. We have tried easy find but the users feel that is too slow and not a viable option (they have vast numbers of folders in all sub folders on the share.
    I also tried searchlight running on the OD server with the share index'd on there which worked fairly quickly but wasn't 100% reliable, again the unreliablity seemed to be with the users logged into the domain not the users logged in Locally.
    Anyone with any ideas would be much appreciated

    Hi SpaceBass, have you looked into sharepoints or into Netinfo manager. I have been playing around with sharepoints and it does let me enter non local users into the sharing prefs- albeit manually. Only thing is , depending on the number of macs you have, it could be a long and tedious job entering it all by hand. Netinfo may have an easier way, I'll do some more digging and post back.
    Cheers.

  • Where do the photo email drafts disappear when the screen locks?

    This is getting very frustrating as it happens quite frequently.  I select some photos to email to someone, and then spend a lot of time writing the email.  Then I pause to do something else or get distracted, and the screen lock comes on.  Then when I unlock the screen, my email draft is gone!  It is not in the drafts folder.  It is not in sent items.  It just vanishes.  Then I have to re-type it from the beginning.  Major design flaw in iOS or am I missing something obvious?

    Interesting, no one knows.

  • TS1367 macbook pro leopard video disappears when logging in

    Can anyone help- it is in sleep but keyboard input does not wake it. Battery indication lights are good. Hard resets take you to an out-of-focus b/w login screen, shortly followed by a normal login screen, but after entering the login characters, the screen blacks out and the sleep mode is re-entered.
    Thanks, J.

    One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
    Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • An issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when saved to a network file share

    It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share.
    Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
    The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.
    The original  .PSD file is deleted on the file share.
    The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
    An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from  .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
    A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
    From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

    Sounds like you're hitting one of the known MacOS filesystem bugs - worst when working with SMB volumes.
    Apple knows about this, and we are pursuing workarounds to the OS bugs.
    Yeah, if you value your files, don't save directly to servers, especially on MacOS.

  • When logged onto a kindle book where is the apple share button?

    when logged onto a kindle book where is the apple share button?

    The Kindle app (I assume that you mean that you reading a Kindle book in the Kindle app) supports sharing to Twitter and Facebook (press and hold on a word, and when you release it you should get a popup for highlighting, notes and a version of share)

  • G5 locks up when logging out and other concern

    This has become a problem over the past year. I know that it is an old single processor, first of the Power Macs, legacy machine and OS. I have gone through all various check system/disk evolutions with Apple and TechTool Utilities.
    Also, when I have a software glitch, I can never get the Send To Apple report to "send". I get a message that reads something along the line of 'not being able to connect to Apple'. Why, the legacy problem again? If so, I am suprized that I get iTunes and Safari updates.

    I don't think it has anything to do with it being a "legacy" Mac.  I have a Power Mac G5, running Leopard, and it runs quite well.
    Locking up when logging out is usually caused by a process that is running and the OS is not able to quit it.  It may be related to an app, or it may be a background process.  If you restart (or log out and log in) and then immediately log out, does it lock up?
    As a test, you can try creating a new user account in System Preferences Accounts pane.  Log out of your usual account and log in to the new account.  Do some things you normally do, then try logging out.  Does it lock up?

  • Why is there no little lock on my screen when logging in to a secure site ?

    When logging in to sites secured with '''htpps''' there should appear a little lock in the righthand corner of my screen.
    This is not happening.
    How come ?
    What can I do ?

    The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

  • Help with occasional system locks when logging out or rebooting

    Basically what's happening is occasionally when logging out, restarting, or rebooting from an X session, I get a total system freeze. The screen goes blank and there's no input possible. I'm not seeing anything in the logs. The card is using the xf86-video-intel driver and used to work fine with the i810 driver.
    There are some similar threads around like this one:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65469
    but it's still somewhat different. For me it only happens occasionally and I lose complete control of the system. This was happening when starting from GDM, and is now happening from starting either with 'exec startlxde' or 'exec ck-launch-session startlxde' (current). GDM is gone now (Hurray! Whoopy! Yahoo!)
    One of the solutions listed in the above thread was to remove the vga= line from the kernel command in menu.lst. I don't have that. Another solution was to add it. I didn't try it yet. If this were the problem, wouldn't the behavior be consistent?
    It's worth mentioning for a bunch of attempts yesterday I couldn't log in with startx, and I was getting a number of different errors in Xorg.0.log. Today it's working. I have no idea why; It's the same xorg.conf and same software as before.
    I'm out of ideas. Got any?

    I really could use some ideas with this. The machine in question isn't in my possession very often and it needs to 'just work'. I've since removed everything from lxde except for the panel and am now using a straight openbox session.
    The machine only blanks when shutting down, logging out, or restarting. I do have control over the power button, so it will power off. Unfortunately this just kills it, so the file system is uncleanly mounted. Eventually this is going to kill data (if it hasn't already).
    I want to reiterate that there is nothing in the logs that everyone isn't seeing with the intel drivers. I've been through countless bug trackers, as well as threads here and elsewhere. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this machine to close gracefully? If I can't get X/intel to play nicely, is there something I can do to get the power button to close the system properly?
