Network drives need to mount on power up can it be automatic?

New to mac have a mac mini with network wifi drives they need to be manually mounted every time I start mac, is there an app or method to get around this?

Hello & welcome to Macdom!
To automount them, drag those Aliases/Mounted volumes to the System Preferences>Users & Groups Pref Pane's Login Items Window.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
    Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • What kstat counts does network driver need to provide to mibiisa daemon?

    My network driver provides kstat counters which are read every second by the SNMP MIB-II daemon. However I don't know how to provide the MIB-II counts marked w/ "?" below.
    Also I don't know how to provide info for "netstat -i" field "Queue"

    Whether or not you need the aim card is largely a matter of the bandwidth you need to support and the number of users.  For 5 simultaneous users at anything more than a few megabits I would definitely add the card.
    as for the version, I believe you need advanced security or enterprise.  There may be others but I usually stick with advanced security.

  • External Drive Won't Mount After Power Failure

    I was in the process of erasing a hard disk that was repeatedly not behaving correctly when the power went out last night. Now it won't mount at all, though another external disk I have daisy chained to it will mount. I have tried unplugging it (both the firewire cable and power) and it still won't mount. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Actually, the opposite is true; you can't reformat a mounted volume. If the device isn't showing up in the left hand side of Disk Utility at all then you've probably got a hardware problem.

  • OS X says  D-Link DSM g-600 network drive needs a username and password.

    Can connect my macbook to my wireless network, surf the net and detect network printer and shared files on my XP Home Desktop. The LAN portion consistists of a network printer, Linksys router, XPHome desktop and 500 GB external storage device. The storage device is a D-Link dsm g-600. The files therein were put there by the desktop and a now-defunct XP Home laptop over the course of 2 years. The laptop never had any trouble detecting, connecting to and reading files on the DSM-G600.
    The Macbook detects it under "Finder", but fails to connect. Trying to connect elicits and demand for username and password. Connecting to the DSM from the XP computers never required a password and conecting to the device as an admin just requires the username "admin" and no password. D-Link says its an OSX problem and Apple says its a D-Link firmware problem. Before buying a ticket to India to find the phone techs that told me this, I'm wondering if anyone else had any thoughts.

    Basics - Server 2008 R2 - SP1, WDS,  MDT 2013
    Well all, I've done this at least 20 times today and the deployment share info is still wrong...
    Someone else built and messed with this thing so i'm trying to fix it.  We have 2 MDT servers and 1 WDS that is on the Production MDT.  I've turned the test MDT off.
    It was working fine, until I updated the deployment share ... after adding some drivers for the surface pro 3 for the pxe boot
    Very Simple bootstrap.ini
    [Settings]
    Priority=Default
    [Default]
    DeployRoot=\\MMPDEPLOY02\DeploymentShare$

    SkipBDDWelcome=YES
    It continues to show up on the client as ||mdt901w8|deploymentshare$  (test server) (pipes for \ since it makes it a link and i'm new)
    I've deleted all the .wim and associated files from all locations from the deployment share\boot folder and from the wds remote install\boot\x64\images folder where they are instead of the remote install\boot\images folder that everyone refers to.
    I really can't figure this one out... I know it's something simple I'm over looking but I can't see it..
    Any ideas..

  • HP Personal Media Drive - need to check for drivers but can't find Win8 drivers

    Tried to access drivers for Personal Media Drive but the Win 8 OS is not listed. How do I find if there are new drivers for my HD10000z?

    As this device does have an external power supply, I would first attach that. Hold up to ear, and verify it spins continuous.
    If it spins, plug in the USB to a rear port. It may take 5 minutes for it to initialize. If you hear  click(s) and then no continuous spin, it's likely bricked/dead.  HP offers no repair service for out-of-warranty units. (1 year).

  • Mount and unmount network drives

    Hello,
    I am trying to create an automated script to first unmount the network drives and then mount them to ensure no duplicates are created.  I'm not much of a scripter but i found that you can use the following command to properly mount the drive
    mount "smb://username:password@server/share"
    and it mounts it just fine, the issue is... I can't get the unmount portion to work.
    Can anyone shed some light?
    THANK YOU!!!

    I just tried doing:
    sudo unmount "smb://blahblahbalbh"
    it throws out a syntax error stating "expected "," but found identifier.  It highlighted the "unmount" portion.
    I am using automator to run applescript.  Any suggestions?  should I be going about this another way?
    @rccharles
    nothing is running from the mapped drives.  I am simply mounting them and then trying to unmount.  They are not even open.

  • External Drive Didn't Mount

    Must be my day ... second problem post!
    When attempting to run "Repair Disk" on an external LaCie Firewire/800 drive, I got a message that the disk "could not unmount".
    Before I could copy the error code, the system (running off of the CD) crashed.
    The disk no longer mounts.
    All suggestions welcome!
    Thanks.

    These tips may or may not help. If that drive needs a repair that Disk Utility can't handle you'll need DiskWarrior to repair it. Get the CD, not the download, so you can boot from it.
    External hard drive spontaneously unmounted? Try these tips:
    NEW FIRMWARE: Try updating your external hard drive's firmware, which is available from your drive manufacturers Web site--or just use VersionTracker's (www.versiontracker.com) search function to find it. Be sure to back up your data before applying the update, and carefully follow the manufacturers instructions.
    OUT OF iSIGHT: If you're using an iSight camera while you're using a FireWire drive, the camera may be interfering with the drive's ability to stay mounted. Try temporarily disconnecting your iSight and moving it to a separate FireWire port. If you have multiple FireWire devices, try using a FireWire hub.
    POWER PROBLEM: A faulty power adapter could be causing your drive to unmount. Your drive may not be getting enough juice to stay on, causing the drive to turn off and thereby unmounting it from your Mac. Alternately, the power adapter may not be providing a steady amount of power, causing your drive to turn on and off. Try replacing the adapter. If you can't get a replacement adapter from the hard drive manufacturer, try your local electronics store. Just make sure the adapter you choose has the same connector and input/output voltage. you can find the input/output voltage on the adapter itself.
    Cheers!

  • Home directories on a network drive

    im upgrading an os 10.3 server to os 10.4. The original setup was previously upgraded from an old mac manager installation. I am having a serious problem regarding home folders. On the old system, the users home folder was stored on a snapserver(a network drive connected by ethernet).
    For starters, i cant even get the osx server recongise the snapserver as a share? is there issues with using network drives?

    Well, the network drive needs to support AFP 3 for home directories, and I know of none that do. Unlike with Mac Manager, there's no separate AFP login - one account cannot be used to mount every user's "home." Further, any server that will be acting as the home directory server needs to be joined to the same directory system as the server that's hosting the shared Open Directory domain.
    If your network drive supports NFS, you can mount it on your server and reshare it via AFP. That's the easiest way to overcome the problem and reuse your existing drive.

  • Can I use it for both a backup drive and shared network drive?

    Is it possible to use the Time Capsule for both an automatic backup drive for my Mac AND use it as a shared network drive to store my large library of home videos?  If so, does it require partitioning the drive and are there instructions available?  Alternatively, if I store my home videos on its own network drive, will Time Capsule backup this drive too?  If I don't want any external drives tethered to my mac, how would set up the  2 drive scenario, so that home video drive can be shared on the network?
    To be specific, I'm looking for a networked drive solution that allows me to do the following:
    1) automatically back up my Mac
    2) act as the primary storage drive for 750GB of the kids home videos (to save room on Mac) [Side question - ]
    3) have the ability to watch the home videos on both my family room Apple TV (is this even possible?) and my kitchen Mac Mini display (would my Mac's iMovie's library be able to include my home video content  that is stored on a network drive, or does it require the content to be  on the Mac hard drive?). 
    4) If I use a two drive solution  (time capsule backup and cheaper second drive), I want to be able to have Time Capsule back up the home video content on the second drive. 
    5) I do not want any drive tethered to my Mac, only wirelessly connected.  Would the second drive be connected to the Time Capsule?  How would this be set up? 
    Many thanks!

    basically yes, but i wouldn't recommend it.
    If so, does it require partitioning the drive and are there instructions available?
    the disk in the TC can't be partitioned in the traditional way. but you can use disk utility to create a "fixed-size" sparse disk image on the TC's disk for use with other data. use the instructions here, just leave out the encryption part.
    Alternatively, if I store my home videos on its own network drive, will Time Capsule backup this drive too?
    no.
    time machine can not back up from network drives.

    consider a NAS that is time machine compatible.
    3) have the ability to watch the home videos on both my family room Apple TV (is this even possible?) and my kitchen Mac Mini display (would my Mac's iMovie's library be able to include my home video content  that is stored on a network drive, or does it require the content to be  on the Mac hard drive?).
    it's possible to stream content stored on a TC (or NAS) to TV. using home sharing, your mini would be able to access files in homeshared libraries.
    it doesn't matter where the files are stored as long as iTunes knows they are there. in other words, the content needs to be in an iTunes/TV friednly format and in your iTunes library - that doesn't mean the content can't be stored on an external HD, a TC, or a NAS.
    4) If I use a two drive solution  (time capsule backup and cheaper second drive), I want to be able to have Time Capsule back up the home video content on the second drive.
    What can Time Machine back up, and where can it put it’s backups?
    5) I do not want any drive tethered to my Mac, only wirelessly connected. 
    IMO, your best course of action is to get a NAS. if you're interested, i can highly recommend this device by Synology.
    Synology NASes play very well with Macs and have excellent backup features on board. given enough space (i have 4x2 TB drives installed) you can store your media files there, use time machine to backup your Macs to it and can use the on-board backup solution to back up the whole shebang to a USB drive connected to the NAS.

  • Add datafile in a network drive

    Hi,

    Somebody know if I need to do something before for Oracle identified this network drive like a other local disk? Can I create datafiles in a network disk?
    Thanks.

    The architecture of Windows is due to this problem. Keep in mind that YOU do have this share available but the Oracle process has not. You yourself are the connecting user of the share and this share is availbale to you and not to the Oracle process. Oracle itselfs runs in the background (and not on your console) with another user (default Windows internal user: SYSTEM) and you cannot get this share available for this user. The previous reply (run the Oracle service using another DOMAIN user) will help.

  • How to import from network drive?

    I have a macbook pro, iMac and Time Capsule.  I exported my images from macbook to Time Capsule.  A few of these images I would like to import into apeture on my iMac.  What is the best way to get images from a networked drive to import into a new project on apeture 3?  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you,
    Cathy

    Is it a few images or complete folders?
    If it is a few images go to File->Import->Files. Select the drive and folder where the images are and import them.
    If it is whole folders of images go to File->Import->Folders as Projects.
    Note in both cases the network drive needs to be attached to the Mac before you will see it in Aperture. So open Finder and select he network drive and then select a folder on the drive. You should see it in Aperture after that.

  • Network drive keeps droping

    Hello everyone,
    It's been a while (few months) since I've gone back to using my MAC a lot more than once a week. Now I'm using it almost every day. Recently, I've tried to connect to another PC's hard drive as a network drive. No problems in connecting but after a few minutes even with activity on the drive, a message pops up alerting me to the fact that the network drive has lost the connection. I can easily reconnect but it only takes a few minutes and then drops the connection again. I have full access to the drive/files and folders and it behaves like one would expect a network drive to behave except it keeps dropping it's connection.
    Any help would be appreciated,

  • All mounted network drives disconnect after sleep

    10.4, airport, powerbook.
    All network (SMB) drives connect fine manually. They also reconnect after after login (modified login items). However, they will not persist after sleep.
    After this powerbook sleeps, ALL network drives are dropped and have to be manually reconnected. Why?
    I've seen this question asked about 20 times out here, but never answered.

    Thanks for the reply, Tim.
    However - this is a serious SMB functionality issue. Just with OS-X. Not even Linux will misbehave like this.
    I have 8 (eight) drives that I need mounted - all over the network. I simply cannot fiddle with manual remounts because they are NFS or SMB drive mounts and OSX freaks out. It takes me about 5 minutes to unmount all the drives, and as long to reconnect them. Which I have to do whenever this little Powerbook sleeps. Your solution of a manual disconnect/reconnect is absurd. Multiply this by the # of Apples we have, and you see what I mean.
    We have 15 Windows laptops, and as many desktops that keep ALL of these drives mounted regardless of sleep, power cycle etc. All machines except the Apples.
    If this bug needs escalation, let's do it. I've seen countless gripes about this issue and NO resolution. This is NOT a feature, or a requirement for user manual drive unmount intervention. It's a BUG.
