Network drive not persistent

Hi,
Before leopard if i had a network drive it would remain on my desktop even after a reboot this is no longer the case and now every-time i need to go to finder access the disk and then it will reappear on my desktop. anyone know how to make this mount/network drive remain persistent on my desktop ?
Thanks !

Once you have the server mounted, you could drag the icon from the Desktop into the "Login Items" tab of the Accounts System Preferences. Then it should mount each time you log in.

Network Drives not waking with computer from sleep after ML install(Wired connection)

Since installing mountain lion my network drives do not wake with the computer. The drive folders for them are not on the desktop. I have to go through my shared directory and click on the drives again for them to appear back on the main screen.
Any ideas?

I tried the "usual" reset of PRAM and SMC and now it seemes to work correctly!

Network Drives not showing

Hello,
I have a outlook 2013 and windows 8, network drivers are showing on my computer.
However, when i try to attach file the insert file dialog box does not show the network drive.
For God, and Country.

Please try to delete and re-create the network driver and then try again.
This will usually fix the issue.

WD network drive not detectable after installing Mavericks!!

I just installed OS X Mavericks on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro at the suggestion of a genius at the bar, as a cure for the relentless spinning beach ball on my screen. I bought a new portable drive then and there and backed up my computer before the installation.
However, virtually ALL of my data is stored on a WD network drive (WD netcenter - legacy product) and since the Mavericks installation I can not access the drive - it does not show up in the finder, and it is not visible in disk utility.   When I click on my sidebar folders, the message is "there was a problem connecting to the server "wd-netcenter".
I found some discussions about Mavericks corrupting external drives, and then read about the need to update WD drive managers. So I downloaded the new WD drive manager from the WD website, however I still cannot see the drive. I have also restarted both my MacBook and the drive.
Can anyone help ?
thank you.

So I found my original installation disks and tried to erase the hard drive and re-install but was blocked!
the installation is "not supported"...
seems there are ways to get around this, however it's too risky for me to mess with it.
none of my network drive's startup applications seem to be supported by mavericks. I will take your advice and try to find another mac with snow leopard to see if I can access the drive. I have also contacted western digital for support.   thanks for your help.

Connection to the deployment share could not be made (network driver not installed)

Hi guys! i bought the new laptop Dell Latitude E6510 and try to install the enterprise image but i got the error:
"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. The following networking device did not have a driver installed PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EA&SUBSYS_040B1028&REV_05."
I look on internet and i found out that it is the intel network card driver missing. So i get the driver from Dell website and i added this drivers in the MDT console.
Then i have updated the deployment share to rebuild the boot images. Everything went fine but i always get this error.
Am I missing something ?

I too was having the problem...
the single thing that I was forgetting is that while I was recreating & regenerating the images in the deployment workbench. I wasn't burning & booting from a CD...
because (aha) I'm clever & using Windows deployment services to boot across the network & save all that time burning CDs etc.
Doh, I didn't update the WIM that WDS was using...
Open your windows deployment services console,
expand out servers : <server name> : boot images
Right click your boot image (I have 2, one for x86 & one for x64),
choose "replace image" then navigate to your newly regenerated WIM images
(probably C:\deployment_share\boot) & choose the appropriate WIM file.
do this for any images you have, reboot your client machine & BAM, deployment goodness.
MS should really add a module for PXE boot (etc) into the deployment workbench rather than have 2x deployment solutions & use the deployment module from one & the boot module from the other.
Anyhoo, works now, must make a mental note to remember this in future...
Cheers Toolman
Thank you for this. This resolved the issue that I had.

System Image Recovery from Network Drive - not found

Hello all!
I have been routinely backuping my OS and important files using Windows 7 backup on a NAS. It just so happened that I needed to re-image my OS drive and I got into the Windows 8 recovery boot sequence.
I booted from a windows 8 USB stick and Under the Advanced tools I selected the System Image Recovery and tried to look for the system image on the network path. Although the prompt said it was connecting to the network , the network share was
not found. the command prompt couldn't ping google.com and netsh wlan <SSID> command did not work in hopes of connecting to my local wifi.
Is there a way to connect to the wifi network where my NAS is connected to in order to re-image from the system image found on the NAS? Luckily , there was an older image on a separate local HDD that I could re-image from but I would prefer if
I could connect to the NAS during the recovery process.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
First, I have to say that in WinRE, http and wifi is not supported, that's why you cannot ping google and connect to wifi.
To access NAS, we have to make sure that your network connection is wired, and try to manually location the NAS via
\\IP address\...
I will check if the Windows 7 image backup can be restored in WinRE of Windows 8, and update your soon.
Edit:
I have tried this, and it appeared that to restore Windows 7 image backup on this computer from Windows 8 winRE is not supported.
see following error:

Network Drives not available in Applications?

Hi,
I have a mcabook pro running leopard and another mac on my network that is not. This other mac has my firewire drive hooked up to it and all my files are saved there. I can access the other computer and drive just fine through the finder but when I am in an application the other computer and the drive are not available when I am trying to open or save a file. Can anyone help? Is there a way to add an icon for my other computer to the dock or to my desktop?

That's a large part of the problem. You have more than one font manager on your Mac. If you're not using Font Book, delete it. Then you need to reset its orphaned database so OS X stops trying to control which fonts are, or aren't active according to that data.
To remove Font Book from the hard drive, follow these steps:
1) Open Font Book, and then its preferences. Uncheck the box for "Alert me if system fonts change". Close the preferences and shut down Font Book. Put the Font Book application in the trash and delete it.
2) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. The main goal in this step is to remove the orphaned Font Book database from the hard drive. With the Font Book application no longer on the hard drive, a new one cannot be created. Which is what we want.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Hyperlink in Excel to a file on network drive not working

In Excel 2010 I created a hyperlink to a word doucment located on our network server. When I click on the link in Excel in only opens up the main folder not even the sub-folder where the document is located in. I can't figure out why it
won't open the specified document even though it shows the document in the hyperlink address. Thanks for any help!
Dusty

Hi,
Do you mind telling us which link format are you using? Are you linking to a mapped drive letter or a Universal Name Convention (UNC) address?
Here's the difference:
The UNC address of a server location may be: \\MyServer\MyFolder
That server may have been mapped to D:\
A link that uses the UNC address would look like this:
\\MyServer\MyFolder\MyExcelFile.xlsx
A link that uses the mapped drive would look like this:
D:\MyExcelFile.xlsx
As long as the computer has a mapped D:\ drive, the link should work, if it doesn't, the link is broken.
I recommend you use the UNC address method.
More reference:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328440
Then, we'd better check the really hyperlinks.( Home tab>Insert> Hyperlink> Hyperlink address)
Tips: The display hyperlink in cell is not really Hyperlink address
Hope it's helpful.

SMB Network Drive not connecting

I have an SMB NAS drive that connected fine in 10.4. However, with 10.5, on my MacBook Pro I can connect to it and can see the 2 volumes on it but can't do anything with them, and can't disconnect from it once connected. On an iMac G5 also upgraded to 10.5, it starts to connect and then locks up. I can connect to the NAS with FTP with no problem but not through sharing.

Ok, I got it working at 3am last night, and I'm embarrassed to say how. Case sensitivity. My logins differ by the case of the first letter, so I used the syntax to add that and it worked. And I'd swear I did that already at some point, and/or when using the full mount syntax, so I don't know.
The thing that now ticks me off is, why did this all work fine in Tiger??? I have a theory which I won't get to explore until after work - perhaps the Keychain corrupted? I wonder since whenever I try mounting via the go menu (that still doesn't work, by the way), it prefilled my long name as the user. Now, logically, when I first connected months ago, I would have added the capitalized username in that dialog the first time and been done, which is why I took it for granted that it just would work. So now I'm wondering if no matter what I type, it's ignoring me and trying to log in with my long name from the go menu or the network thing in the finder. There have been some rumblings about some people's Keychains getting borked a bit, so maybe...
Strm, since you asked specifically, I was using (I hope this is right, I'm not on the Mac right now) mount_smbfs //User@machine/sharename /Volumes/whatever
If I'm wrong, the @ is a colon. It's annoying that there are all these subtle differences in syntax Also, when I trashed the volume in the UI, it seemed to automatically delete the directory I mounted to, so you may have to keep recreating it. Anyhow, that brings up something else interesting (or not)...I'm not having the IP problem...I can refer to my PC by it's network name in the command line no problem. I think that may be further evidence that my problems, at least, aren't in the smb setup per se, but in the Finder interaction.

Windows 8.1 Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro "Network Driver not properly installed"

I've just received a brand new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro just a few hours ago, and already there seems to be a problem. Windows 8.1 keeps telling me it cannot find any networks, and when I troubleshoot problems, it tells me that my drivers are not properly installed. I've reinstalled the drivers twice already, and even gotten the most up-to-date drivers from Lenovo's website. After taking a dive through the devices window, I can't even seem to locate the network adapter within it.
Am I missing something? Is it possible they forgot to install a network card?

What do you mean by clean install? Are you simply restoring a backup image of the pre-installed OS, or are you really installing with a new copy of Windows?

MOVED: Realtek PCIE Network Drives Not Installed.

This topic has been moved to Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=152080.0

Is your network cable inserted all the way?
You have to insert the cable until it clicks.
Quote
Sometimes I touch/press the silver box that contains the net cable socket on the motherboard and, on restarting, I have the net card back.
But this looks like the block and the PCB have a bad connection or is broken.
If that's the case then you need to get the board repaired.
Or simply insert a networkcard.

Want to move TM backup from USB drive to network drive

[I tried searching and didn't see anything specific to my question.]
I have a Mac Mini backup up to an external USB hard drive and it has a history going back 7 months. It backs up to a folder Backups.backupdb. This folder resides w/ the rest of my folders on this USB HDD, it is not on it's own partition.
Now I want to 'move' this backup and history to a network drive (not a Time Capsule). I've seen methods to use Disk Utility to restore it to new drive or use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I'm familiar w/ all 3 programs btw.) However, all those methods require mounting a HDD (or partition). I can't seem to figure how to use that method to mount the backups.backupdb.
Any ideas?

Anything you found would have said you can't do that.
When TM does network backups, it puts them in a sparse bundle, not the "normal" folder named Backups.backupdb. You cannot continue network backups in the same "sequence." Even if TM works to your network drive (which is not officially supported), it will start a whole new set of backups in a sparse bundle.
And you can't copy the Backups.backupdb folder with the Leopard Finder anyway. See #18 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

Dell Driver Cabs and no network driver present

I would like to know what I'm doing wrong here. It seems like every time I download a Dell cab file for a new desktop or laptop, it fails to load due to a missing network driver.
I have all the drivers loaded into a package and the task sequence searches WMI with a WQL query based on the modal number. After this the DP is updated.
This all works fine and I can almost always Pxe boot and start the imaging process.
The process fails after the image is complete. The computer has not joined our domain and nothing has installed but only because there are missing drivers and all due to the network driver not being installed.
Ill end up looking up the PCI vendor information on the actual network driver to make sure it is installed properly and then i'll check what is in the boot image and either add it to the 32bit image or 64bit image. Sometimes Ill try disabling a network driver
so it uses a different version.
Rarely do I get a package to work on this first try.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as this is getting very frustrating!

In general I stay a way from the categories as a way of applying drivers, I just use them for filter my selections. Instead I use apply driver package approach, and limit 1 package to one model. Works every single time.

Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.

Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.

S. P. Singh

Location is not available to mapped network drive in Windows 8 using Synology NAS

Original Thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/location-is-not-available-to-mapped-network-drive/ca7eac5c-0e3d-494b-b488-e245978e4db9
I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 standard edition. I have come across a problem when using the option for mapped network drives. Under Windows 7 I would normally map a network drive (Synology NAS) and I could access all files, copy and paste, install
apps, and link media, all from within the mapped network drive. However, under Windows 8.1 I have come across a couple of problems.
1. When I try to copy a file from my "Mapped Network Drive" to the C:\Drive (OS Boot Drive), I get the following error,
"E:\ is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. if the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the
location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."
However, if I copy a file from the "NETWORK/Network Location" the file copies just fine with no problems. And, If I also copy a file from a "Added Network Location" the file also copies just fine with no problems. And, if I copy a file from
my "Mapped Network Drive" to my D:\Drive (non OS Drive), the file copies just fine with no problems.
2. When I try to install apps from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will sometimes install and sometimes not (I am also choosing the option to run the programs as Administrator). Again if I try to install using either the "NETWORK/Network Location"
or an "Added Network Location" the apps install just fine with no problems.
3. When I link media (music or videos) from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will work but once I reboot they no longer work as if they have lost the file path or link of the original source location.
4. When I use FireFox (browser) and I set my default download dir to my "Mapped Network Drive" it will work once originally set it but after I reboot, it no longer works. However, again if I set the default download dir to either the "NETWORK/Network
Location" or an "Added Network Location" the default download dir works fine even after reboot.
While I am able to access my network drive using any of the three options, "Mapped Network Drive", "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network Location" but only "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network
Location"appear to be reliable. Tbh I would prefer to be able to use my "Mapped Network Drive" in Windows 8 as I have been able to under Windows 7.
More info:
I currently have UAC set to "Never Notify".
I also have Windows 8.1 installed on three different systems and all of them give me the same exact problems. One of the systems is a completely clean install with no 3rd party apps installed.
Just so its clear I am able to access the "Mapped Network Drive" but unfortunately this method of access appears to be unreliable in Windows 8 but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly.
If I map a network drive from another pc running windows 7 or 8, I can access and use the mapped drive with no problems. This problem appears to be related to the Synology NAS devices and I have researched the Synology forums but only found one thread about
the problem, here:
http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=76687
I have searched several forums and attempted to pick the brains of my local computer shops for any incite on this problem but I have been unable to find a solution/fix.
Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can temporarily disable the firewall to see whether the issue persists.
For this issue seems related to the Synology NAS devices, in order to get professional help regarding the product, we can contact the vendor support to see whether the issue
can be fixed.
Best regards,
Frank Shen
