Network Drives under "Devices"

I have some mounted resources with SMB protocol.
At startup sometimes it shows up under devices in finder sidebar, sometimes not.
I cannot drag resources manually, because it disappear as i release mouse button.
Note that they are folders under the same network resources. Some shows, some not.
Thnks

I'm still having this problem and hopefully someone else will read this thread and have a solution. Just a brief summary - When I go to "Add a Device" under "Tasks", the search will find both my iPad2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. It even identifies them correctly by type of device. However, neither ever shows up in the Network Map.

Finder not showing connected network drives in Devices section

I have a number of network drives on my LAN, some NAS drives, some other Macs and of course a Time Machine. Prior to updating to OSX 10.9.5 when I used finder to connect to one of these shares the name of the connected share used to appear in the Finder Sidebar - under the devices section. Now when I do this nothing appears, although I do get an icon on the desktop and I can still access the remote files.
I have set/reset all the finder view settings from the Preferences panel and also tried deleting the finder and sidebar preferences files without improvement. I do have "Path Finder" installed as well and this still works as normal.
I contacted Apple support and after a hour or so they promised to get an engineer to get back to me sometime this week.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour ?
If Apple don't come up with any ideas I will have to experiment with uninstalling other apps which might indirectly case it, like Path Finder and even Paragon NTFS drivers.
It's not a show stopper, but a rather annoying inconvenience.
Thanks in advance for any replies

Hello birdy.....,
Sorry to take so long responding. Major disaster! My whole wall bookcase just tumbled, and I'm still working at excavating the family (of Macs).
Your card should work. I've used the Acard cards by the dozens without problem, though I've never used that particular 6860 card or set up a RAID ARRAY. Just checked, using a 6880 (RAID) though as a controller card and not as a RAID ARRAY, and found that my 2002 QS Mac would not see a standard hard drive(#2) running OSX (10.2) that had been formatted by the OSX install disk using the stock bus on the motherboard. It would, however, see a hard drive(#3) that had been formatted while connected to an ACARD controller card (6280). I'm guessing that an OSX installer disk is prepared to see and to deal with a SCSI drive, and that Disk Utility is not.
Check that.
Just removed the controller card formatted drive(#3) and re-installed the OSX(10.2) drive(#2); this time my 2002 QS saw it right away, both on the desktop and in disk utility. I guess it needed personal messenger service.
As I recall, I've seen that happen before using controller cards; as a result, I've always taken care to format a new hard drive by connecting it to a controller card if that is the way I intend to use it. Hard drives can be capricious, sometimes. At any rate, try formatting your hard drive(s) with an OSX installer disk (hoping you have one) while connected to the ACARD controller card - just click on erase (twice) and the drive formats automatically.
I'm a little mystified by reference to drivers; never installed any drivers, and always assumed none were needed.
Hope that helps. Check back and let me know.

Network drives showing repeating copies of directory content

I'm experiencing a weird issue with mapped network drives under Windows 7. Sometimes it will list the contents of a directory normally, others it will list hundreds of copies of the contents, and sometimes it will keep listing them over and over without stopping. Occasionally refresh will show the contents correctly but it's a **** shoot. It's happening on all network drives. Server is running OES under SUSE 11 sp3 with the latest update from the beginning of the month. Have not done the distribution upgrade yet. Workstation I'm on is running Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows 7 (IR5). I haven't noticed the issue on XP computers. Any idea what could be causing this? It seemed to start sometime in January or early February.

Thanks that looks like the issue I'm having. Guess it's just wait until it's fixed since there is no resolution.

Disc not shown under Devices in Finder, but shows up elsewhere.

Hi,
A
drive is not showing up under Devices, but it is showing up in Disc Utility and in System Preferences>Startup Disc.
Here's the story:
My start up disc was full, so I moved my OS and everything except my really big files (i.e., photo, video and music folders) off my 1 TB HD to a 240 GB SSD.
Everything went great, except that now my computer doesn't recognize the source drive (the 1 TB drive). It doesn't show up anywhere in the Finder window. However, when I launch DiscUtility, it is there and it is mounted. I tried unmounting and remounting it, but still, it doesn't show up on that left column in Finder.
I CAN see my 2 TB backup drive under Devices though.
I can also see the 1 TB drive (aformentioned startup disc) inside MS Word when I browse the hard drive for a file.
I have a 2010 mac pro running OS 10.7.5.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my computer to recognize this drive? Thank you in advance!

I would suggest trying a third-party disk repair utility such as Disk Warrior. If it can't repair the drive, you may be able to get the data off the drive with a recovery utility such as Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering) or File Salvage.
Good luck.

Driver needed for Network controller,PCI Device,SM Bus controller

Need helpt to get the drivers for win 7 64 bit for Network controller, PCI Device,SM Bus controller, Universal Serial Bus controller, PCI Encryption/Decryption controller

Hi: For the smbus and usb 3 controllers, download and install the amd chipset drivers and reboot. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%207%20-%2064 PCI device: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-141812-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=7174407&sw_lang= PCI Encryption/Decryption controller: Download and run this driver. Then you have to manually install it. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=vc_133833_1 To manually install the driver, go to the device manager, click on the PCI E/D Controller needing the driver. Click on the driver tab. Click on update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file. That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66974. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install. Then reboot. Network controller...need the hardware ID for that because I don't know what model wireless card your model has. Since there is no wireless driver installed, there should be a device labeled Network Controller in the device manager under an Other Devices category. The network controller device will have a little ! mark next to it. So, find the network controller device, click on that and then click on the Details tab. Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description. Drop down on that list and select the third item (Hardware ID's). Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

I had a new hard drive replaced in my imac. Now my 1st generation apple TV does not appear under devices in itunes. How do I get my apple tv to connect to my computer? My OS is 10.6.8

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud. Having problem with Calendar. On one iMac, all the events are duplicated. How can I correct that problem? Under the Calendar accounts, I had my Apple id listed and also just iCloud.

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2. When using Calendar, all the events were
duplicated on my husbands iMac. On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID. I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication. When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone. These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
I have two questions: 1) How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
Time Capsule. I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule. If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through. Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
Thanks for any help.

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.
Regards,
S. P. Singh

Iomega network drive no longer connects under iTunes 10.5 - lost access to all my songs. Anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.5 / IOS 5?

I have an Iomega 500Gb network drive (Connects via CAT5 cable to hub) It contains all of the music in my iTunes. It worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 10.5 (and installed IOS5 / iCloud). Now, I can no longer access ANY of the music. The drive shows as a device in iTunes, but when I click it, it displays the songs for a split second, but they then disappear and I connot access them. The Iomega drive functions normally when accessed via a Windows browser.
Anyone else with this problem?
regards Steve

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

External Drive not listed under Devices

Hello,
I recently (within the last week) bought a WD MyBook Studio 500GB HDD and have been using it for my media storage. When downloading files, through a torrent client, I have it automatically save to my External, but today something weird happened. The external shows up on my desktop but not under "Devices" in the Finder. It DOES show up if i click my computer in Devices, so its listed as a subset of my computer instead of an extra device. My torrent client gives errors when trying to access the data on the external, so i have no idea whats going on. Video link at screencast is attached just for clarification. Running on Firewire 800. http://screencast.com/t/j3Nm4NtolKo

Hi Tyler Cordell-
A lot of folks have problems with those drive and their Macs. This is not an unusual thing to have happen. My first advice is to return it if you can and get something different.
Can you see the drive in Disk Utility? If so, are you able to repair it?
Luck-

LMS 4.2 virtual appliance: How to export archive devices configs on a network drive

Hello,
I will install a new LMS 4.2 based on a virtual Linux Red Hat appliance.
I would like to export archive devices configurations based on /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma/shadow on an external drive.
Do we have embedded tools on LMS 4.2 Linux to share a network drive or do we use NFS commands ?
Thanks for your help.
Patrice

there are no such embedded tools.
I am awaiting Ciscos return with a solution for bringing the backup out of the VA (Virtual Appliance) and to a safekeeping place.
Same issue all around - the VA is now a client only !
I saw a hack around the SCP user inorder to use WinSCP for faster file browsing etc, and that might work, but I want a supported fix for this issue. And by that I mean Cisco needs to tell me what can be done and how its supported.
please share any knowledge you might get on this topic.

Network drive drag to Devices or Favorites: Disappears

I have a couple of working smb network drives. I connect to one using CMD+K. It appears on the Finder's content area. Now it is possible to drag the drive either to FAVORITES or DEVICES on the sidebar. However, if I drag drive1 to Favorites, it sticks, but if I drag drive1 to Devices, it just disappears. Then, if I drag drive2 to Favorites, it disappears, but if I drag drive2 to Devices, it sticks there.
What is going on? I just want to have all my network drives either in Favorites or Devices, but not separated.

One more time I'm bumping this. I have also tried making an alias (shortcut icon) for the network drive, and the alias will also not stick in Finder's Devices or Favorites. It just disappears after dragging it there. Is there any workaround?
With what logic do the drives stick or not "stick" (not disappear when dropping) in Devices and Favorites?

HT5287 How do I change the name, Under Devices, of Remote Disk or Untitled to a name that reflects what I want. In this case" Flash" for USB thumb drives. Also will this create confusion when I connect my Superdrive? Meaning, will it still be called FL

I want to change the name under DEVICES, left column Remote Disk, Untitled to FLASH USB, and still have it read my Superdrive when I connect it?

Each Volume (partition) on a device has a name.
When it is mounted it will appear with that name as an icon on the desktop, and under devices in the sidebar.
Typically a USB flash drive would only have one volume.
They may initially come with names like Untitled or No_Name etc.
When mounted you can rename any USB drive (Or individual Volume if there is more than one partition) by using the mouse to select the name on the Desktop and hold the selection in you can edit the name. That name will stay with that particular drive and will show every time it is mounted.
CDs and DVDs may well have a name which will show when they are mounted. When you make a CD or DVD you can provide a name when making it.
It is good practice to name a new thumb drive or USB disk when you get it to avoid the confusion you seem to be having. Simialrly to name any DVDs or CDs you create

IPhone does not show up under devices on my hard drive

I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4. At one time, my iPhone did show up under devices on my hard drive until I did something really stupid and deleted it. It has never shown up since. Any help out there? (It shows up in iTunes just fine.)

Is your iPhone fully charged? If not, it will not upload to PhotoStream, to save energy.
See:
iCloud: Photo Stream Troubleshooting
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
Is iTunes running, when you connect your iPhone? Quit iTunes, before you connect your phone.
