Network Mounts and Finder Hang Ups...

When using a AFP or SMB network share, if the connection to the remote share lags or fails, Finder displays the working "colour wheel" indefinitely. Occassionally Finder will come back and ask you if you want to disconnect the remote drive, other times it remains unresponsive. This can result in causing instabilities in OS X that often requires a reboot to resolve. Very frustrating!!! Anyone know an effective way to deal with this?

I think I just found out why- Go to finder->preferences->general->check connected servers and see if that helps.
I have an external HD connected to my extreme and it wouldn't show up on the desktop after upgrade to 10.5. After above it shows up.
Also, used tip from another post and went to system preferences->system->accounts->select account, login items, drag disk to login area (I had to go back to the finder and go to folder of AE HD and ctrl click and choose original view and then drag to auto login)
not sure if I am dorked up or upgrade missed something but now I have AE HD on desktop and can use pics from that drive on iphoto

What is wrong with FF it keeps closing up and numerous hang ups awful

I have so many problems with this browser - they just keep multiplying. Today, Firefox started closing by itself without my doing anything. This is added to the constant script running errors and other hang ups that constantly slow down my work and are driving me crazy. Maybe I'd just better go back to IE? I've tried your help "fixes" and they don't. Very frustrating.

Did Firefox crash?

How bad is it to have 4 network mounts for home folders?

I am the tech curriculum guy at a middle school and also manage the servers. I am not an expert at all. Learn enough to make it work efficiently. We got a new server (intel). I am in the process of migrating all the users, groups, home folders and data etc. Had some problems so I called Apple, in my discussion with the tech support there (3-4 hours solving problems) one of the techs questioned my setup. Here is what I used to do:
Server one has all the users in workgroup manager. The home folders for the 6th, 7th and 8th graders are on two separate drive bays on server one. Each grade level folder is a network mount. I then have the faculty home folders on a server two. There is also a shared folder called "Stuff" which mounts for all users and has clipart, movies etc. It is basically a read only mount. The faculty home folders are network mounts of their home folders.
I service between 400 and 500 students a day in the lab, it is quite busy, with anywhere from 60 to 90 users logged on at one time. My thinking last year was that if I could spread out the home folders on different drives, the students wouldn't all be hitting the same drive for saves, data etc. So that one drive wouldn't be spinning its brains out to keep everyone going. That is why I have the 4 network mounts for the home folders. One for each grade level (6,7,8) and the faculty.
My new server has three drives, two of them for home folders. The drives are 750 gb each. He (apple tech) suggested I create a folder in each drive, set it as the network mount and within that folder put two sets of home folders. So, then I would only have two network mounts, but retain my four sets of home folders that would be within the network mounts.
I guess my question is, which is better, to have the 4 network mounts with separate home folder locations on 2 different servers, or consolidate the home folders into 2 network mounts on one server.
He said that the more network mounts, the longer it takes to get computers started up.
Any expert advice here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, hope I explained this well enough.

I don't think the logins take too long, we may wait 30 seconds or so for the students to login. We have had problems when 60 kids leave and 60 more come in, some login and after the username and password are entered, the login begins then locks. The Apple tech guy thought that could be aggravated by the 4 network mounts. I just sort of thought that with students and teachers accessing 4 different hard drives, that it wouldn't tax one drive as much. I agree that a longer login is a small price to pay for faster working speeds.

Adobe Premier and Dreamweaver Hanging Up

I'm running an 8 core i7 process with a RAID Zero and to other solid state drives with 24 gigs ram and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 on windows 7 64bit and for some reason I'm experience more and more hang ups, locking up when using Premier and Dreamweaver. There are some serious performance issues with Adobe CC. I'm running very powerful machines and I do not expect these constant crashes and hang ups. Working with fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver is a nightmare. I take about a minute to three minutes for a web page to wake up after opening it in Dreamweaver to work on it. This totally destroys the possibility of a smooth workflow. Same thing in Premier, I'll be editing a project and suddenly the software goes white and then premier says it's low on resource or something and sometimes it will not totally crash and other times it will totally crash. It's hard to take time out to explain this to you people, as your customer for almost two decades I'M SICK OF BEING YOUR BETA TESTER AND HAVING TO PAY FOR YOUR PRODUCTS

Network - network monitoring and tracking

hi all, i'm newbie on networking field in labview, before this, i had done a project about DAQ, and i found out labview is a quite interesting programming langauge than others, so i wish to explore more about labview's abilities.
All i want to ask is about can labview monitoring packages throught our pc?
another question is about do labview having the function of tracking the packages through our network adapter and find out the sender?
if the both answers are yes, where i'm going to start about this? or any places having some teaching sources for me?
Best regard,
Jaxx

LabVIEW itself does not have the functions for sniffing other apps' packets, but you can try something like calling WinPCAP.
To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

Finder lock ups due to samba shares being invalidated by changing network

I often leave my macbook online for a long time unattended, for simplicity I tend to plug it into its power lead, and also connect it up to my gigabit network. I know i've set the priority in my connections to prefer the wired connection over wireless but just to keep things simple i disable airport so i can be sure that i will be connected via gigabit.
I'll then go in and map a network drive from one of my PCs on the lan, this is mounted and available.
Sometime in the future i'll go mobile again, like i just did today. Disconnecting power and gigabit ethernet, i re-enable airport. After a short while its all good to go.. I then start using the internet connection. All is fine.
Then finally i spot that my samba drive is still mapped, i've had trouble selecting this drive to use it, but sadly also you get real trouble by just trying to eject the mount. Doing so and nothing happens.. after 10-20 seconds everything is frozen, including the animated dock, and top toolbar, and you are presented with the spinning wheel of activity.
applealtesc does NOT bring up the force close dialog, and eventually i was forced to force a shutdown.. apple power button isn't it? I had the power button held down for a long time.
Generally i find the mounting samba drives a bit of a pain in the finder but i can put up with it. Samba shares on windows are a nightmare but they rarely bring down the whole system when a connection has been broken.. i'd love it if mac OS would time out the samba share and just give up, rather than hanging in the way it does do.
Obviously i'm accessing my LAN through a different interface and IP address than i was when i set up the connection. I am not sure if you have a similar problem as described if you just disconnect from the network and have no net connection at all.. not sure what it would do with a share in this way.
Is this worth logging as an actual bug? anyone got any suggestions to fix it?

Ok, no luck yet. Maybe I can ask another question directly related to this issue. I am trying to find the cause of this and I am wondering if there is a brief dropout in the connection to the NAS. By brief, I mean really brief. The NAS is connected via a Homeplug network connection (network via the homes power points) and maybe for a very brief period interferrence on the lines dropped the AFP connection.
Is it normal that it is then impossible for AFP to reconnect, even when the NAS is clearly back on the network?
Any drop will have to be very brief as I can always stream music without issues, and no drop or slow down has caused buffering issues.
But, I don't recall getting this issue when directly connected to the iMac via a short ethernet cable for the initial Time Machine backups that take over a day.
What I don't understand though, is if the connection did briefly drop and loose the AFP link, why can AFP no longer connect back? Why do I need to sleep the iMac and then wake it again.
HTTP connections to the NAS never seem to drop, and when I can't recconnect via AFP, I can always connect via HTTP? Is this expected of the AFP protocol? Or is it an unexpected issue?

Yosemite 10.10.2 won't shut down and experience frequent finder hangs.

Help! I've only bough my Macbook Air latest version just 3 months ago and now it's giving me lots of headache.
My finder hangs frequently - sometimes during work - the other apps I'm running I'm fine but finder won't respond - I'm unable to open windows, and when I drag my mouse to the desk top, I see a spinning wheel.
When I quit my MAC, sometimes it'll hang at the finder and stop my computer from shutting down.
Tried force quit - won't work
Tried right click on finder - it'll show - finder not responding -
Eventually have to force myself to shut down the computer
I've used disk utility and attempted to fix some permissions.
One of the log shows:
"Warning: SUID file "systems/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagemtn/ARDAgent.app/contents/MACOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."
I have not idea what that ARD Agent thing is. Tried finder search I got nothing back.
It also repaired some 'Printers.plist" as well and "Private/var/db/displaypolicyd"
I've run disk utility on different days and there's usually something to 'fix'.
But no matter what I do, my finder still hangs and I wonder if there's anything can be done t

Finder hangs when HD is opened/Attempts to connect to Network Server

We have two iMac G3s running 10.3.9.
The computers are connected to a Dlink ethernet router.
One of the computers will occasionally hang either when booting or when we double click on the hard drive. It appears to be trying to connecting to the other networked computer. We get the spinning beach ball plus an empty window.
While it's hanging, other applications can be opened from the dock and seem to be functioning normally.
If the ethernet cable is unplugged, the system will start normally.
One guess was that an alias to files on the other had been added to the sidebar and that the computer was trying to resolve this when the HD was opened. I saw this mentioned in a different Mac forum. Is this a problem? Is there a way to see why the one machine is trying to connect to the other?
What I've tried so far:
Disk Utility (Repair Permission/Verify Disk)
Disk Warrior 3.03 (Rebuild the directory
Removing the plist (I got a login window that then wouldn't allow typing the password.)
Cocktail
Suggestions?
iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I agree that it is very annoying, but in my experience the Finder hang does eventually resolve itself if you wait long enough.
Not being that patient, I usually relaunch the Finder from the Dock, which clears the hang immediately.

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Finder crashes with OS 10.6.8. With or without any apps running finder will hang repeatedly causing the iMac to hang also. I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 recently and finder was OK for 1 week. How do I submit a crash log?

Folllowing an upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Finder frequently hangs, causing any open apps and the iMac to hang. This will occur whether or not any 3rd party apps or Safari are open. About 50% of the time trying to empty the trash will cause a finder hang. There are no error messages to let me know what code such a hang may be. Repeated attempts to force quit the iMac always fail, so I have to hard crash using the power button. Multiple attempts are required to successfully restart via the login screen. I do not know whether any other apps, such as Safari or screen saver may be involved. I think a crash log would help, however I am not sure whether I should look in: useres/library/logs/DaiagnosticReports or : users/library/logs/CrashReporter, and whether I should attempt to open the latest in either in Console or Text edit and then post here. Also, is this the appropriate site to post a log in the hope that Apple may look at it? I have read through threads on Apple finder, and am stunned to find that after all these OS-X versions finder is still buggy and inferior to MS Explorer and Apple appears to be in denial. Maybe their efforts are in devices such as iPhones and iPads? Ths issue never occured in OS 10.5.8.

Intel Based IMac OS X 10.5.8 freeze on shut down and hang ups

Have an Intel IMac8,1 OS X 10.5.8
Computer has been freezing up on shut down, will log out and hold right at the shut down screen with a loading icon running. Will have to force shut down with power button. Applications have been loading slower than usual and computer hangs up frequently. IMac has been offline(no internet connection) for about 6-7 months, reconnected recently.
Have updated all recommended updates, would my outdated operating system be the problem? Not sure if during the time of being offline, important updates/firmware I might need? Should I update my OS X or is their a fix/update that will work?
Read a post about verifying permissions...?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

would my outdated operating system be the problem?
Nope, something else.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Then see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Regular hang-ups both online and off

HPE-570f AMD Phenom (tm) II Processor
Windows 7 64-but
Have recently reformatted out of desperation!
This machine continues to regularly hang up despite the best efforts of HP's online help and a complete reformat. Is this processor just a dog? I've had numerous HP computers, but this is the first time I've not purchased an Intel product.

Hi,
Please explain what you mean by "hang-ups"?
What type of application causes the "hang-ups"?
Did you make any hardware changes to your PC?
Did you do a clean Window 7 installation or just used the HP recovery disks?
Did you run diagnostics?
