Reconnect shared folder after sleep

Hi,
I have a problem with a shared netwrk drive I have.
My setup is basically a wd-netcenter drive sitting on my wireless router and shared between my windows PC and my macbook.
I mounted the drive, saved the password and dragged the drive to my login folder. The shared drive now successfully automounts at login.
However if the macbook goes to sleep it loses the share and I have to manually remount it. I tried dragging the drive to the dock but when it unmounts I just get a "?" over the share icon.
Any ideas how to make it easy to quickly remount after sleep ?
Thanks
Tony

The reason is that whatever machine it is connected to is saying "No response, that MacBook has dropped offline" and it disconnects.
If you are permanently hardwired to the network it's a problem, but if you tend to move the portable or are connected wirelessly it's best to have the disk ejected during sleep, since Finder has such a problem with nonexistent network drives.
Otherwise, you might consider not letting your MacBook sleep.
Another solution woud be a "wakeup hook" to run an Applescript to remount the server.

    How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

    I think Adobe pulled the Creative Connect Desktop app until the new CC release next month. I just built a new PC and noticed it wasn't available in the app manager any more. On my other machines it isn't working anyway. In another post Adobe devs said they new it was down because thay were working out some server issues. It looks like they couldn't resolve them.
    I bought into the CC right from the beginning since I never buy my software outright but rather use a credit card. I thought that getting the whole master suite for $30 a month interest free was a great deal. Having all the software has been great, but it was over a year before we even saw a desktop syncing folder and noe it seens as though we are going to have server problems every time they upgrade the cloud leaving us to have to use the cluncky web interface during these sync blackouts.
    I can tell you Adobe better get it together cause ther starting to p*ss off a lot of loyal customers. It feels like were dealing with a cellphone company who only gives deals to the new customers and once you've signed the contract your screwed.

  • Moving a report to a shared folder after scheduling .

    Hi,
    I have a requirement that i need to move the report to a shared folder after it had scheduled. Can you please help me.
    Thanks.

    Well, you'd have to delete the Movies folder before you could replace it, and deleting the Movies folder would also delete its contents, thereby making the replacement impossible. It's not really surprising that the Finder was confused.
    Simple solution: rename the parent folder.

  • Can not edit file on network shared folder after upgrading to windows 7

    Merry Christmas and happy new year,
    Due to some configuration changes on a specific application, I have forced to upgrade OS of a few number of workstations from Windows XP to windows 7. After upgrading I am facing a strange problem on WIN7 workstations. These workstation are member of a Windows
    2008 R2 Active Directory domain which also has a Windows 2003 advanced server additional domain controller. Also there are a number of shared folders on some member servers (all windows 2003) which are mapped as network drives at user logon. Before upgrading
    mentioned workstations to WIN7, users was able to edit his/her files on all of mapped network drive according to his/her permissions without any problem on their WINXP workstations, But after installing windows 7 they begin facing problem on one of these mapped
    network drives and the problem exactly is when they edit a file, in more specific word an excel file, and then try to save, the excel returns an error message of "document not saved" and exit the excel program. It becomes more strange when you learn
    that the edited excel file is disappeared and replace with some "tmp" file. If user copy the excel file to his/her own desktop, edit it and then copy it back to its original place on mapped network drive, it will be replaced normally with its older
    version. In other words if user wants to edit an excel file on that specific network drive, he/she must edits it somewhere else and then replace it on the network drive. If the same user uses a WINXP box, there will be no problem.
    Can anybody help me to fix the issue?
    TIA
    Bijan

    Thank you Karen,
    The problem is fixed, but my case was none of what you suggested. In fact I have
    another problem which I described in another question and it was of the root of this excel file issue. I describe what I have done to fix the latter problem hope to help fixing similar issues to mine.
    Okay, as it is described in the
    question, I was not able to open a shared folder with its UNC address while it could be mapped as a network drive without any problem. I examined what I was replied and some other ways, came to no result. I decided investigate a similar shared folder in
    permissions to problematic one to see if the problem is repeated. So I created a folder and shared it with similar permissions and examined it. Surprisingly there was no problem. It was wise to remove sharing of the problematic folder and share it again to
    see if the problem resist. But when I tried to remove sharing I received an error message saying that
    the shared folder is related to a DFS root. When I took a look at the DFS roots of domain there was no sign of the problematic folder (that made me recall that I created a DFS root with problematic folder mistakenly and removed that DFS root).
    After little searching, I found out that the problem could be caused by traces of the removed DFS root. Yep! I found the suspect! The registry key
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DFS\Domain\problematic shared folder. I removed the key restarted DFS service and log off and on and Bingo!
    This problem pops up a few more questions:
    1) Why is not the registry key related to removed DFS root deleted from the registry of windows 2003 server?
    2) Why was I able to browse this ex-DFS root shared folder without any problem in windows XP while it was problematic in windows 7?
    3) As there is no special client service for DFS and user can access DFS root targets like other shared folders what is the deference between shared resource access mechanisms in windows XP and windows 7 that caused the problem?
    Bests,

  • ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

    iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

    Hi horstp,
    Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Can't access OS X shared folder after Win 8 upgrade

    I have a Mountain Lion Mac and a Win 7 PC with folder sharing over wifi for many months. After the Win 8 upgarde last night, the Mac still can read and write the shared PC folder, but not vice versa. PC sees Mac as a network drive, but it keeps saying the user name/password is incorrect, which of course is not true. I tried deleting, changing and recreating account names/passwords on Mac, refreshing WINS setting, using IP address instead of name, remote sharing, enabling discovery, firewalls, etc., but nothing worked. Maybe a Win8 bug since Win7 worked fine? Or a security feature on OS X? Also, PC adds a domain name (the machine's name) in front of the account name (e.g. lance0406-pc\lance) which may give Mac the wrong account? I can't get rid of the domain even after changing my sign-in to the local computer. It's a home computer, so there is no domain. Any insight is helpful. Thanks.

    Same situation here... but I think it's not an Apple Issue.
    I found a problem really similar to this in 2008 with the DNS-313 and the old Leopard O.S.
    Have a look at this thread (in this thread I am "tourniquet"):
    http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-554245.html
    The problem was really similar because with the finder you couldn't navigate but with the terminal (or with muCommander) you had no problem!
    As you can see, the problem was that the Finder couldn't manage the "Unix Extensions" option, set to ON in the Samba Server on the DNS-313 (we had the firmware 1.0 then).
    D-Link solved the issue later, with a firmware upgrade that disabled this "Unix Extensions" option so... couldn't it be possible that now Lion require this option to be set to ON again?!?!
    I will try this evening (10 hours from now, I'm Italian) enabling the unix extensions on the Samba Server of the DNS-313 (gaining an access to the 313 by telnet) and I will let you know if I sort this issue out.

  • Reconnecting to WiFi after sleep

    Hello All,
    When my iMac is put to sleep, the WiFi connection is broken.  Fair enough, but the problem is that when the machine is woken, the connection doesn't re-establish itself.  The only way round this I've yet found is to go into System Preferences->Network, turn off WiFi and then turn it on again, whereupon the connection is re-established.  I can't help feeling that I shouldn't have to do this; is there a setting somwhere that I need to change?  I may be wrong, but this seems to have started happening since I took an upgrade to OS X 10.7.3.
    Many thanks,
    Mark

    If not, found the following in another thread once:
    This is what solved my problems with WiFi disconnecting randomly, not appearing after awakening, etc.
    1.  Open network preferences from your WiFi icon in the menu bar.  Then click advanced.  Delete the network that is giving you problems.
    2.  Open Keychain in the utilities folder of your hard drive.  Find the passwords that are stored for your particular network and delete them. There may be multiple passwords for your network, so search carefully.
    3.  Repair permissions using the disk utility.
    4.  Reboot the computer.
    5.  Reenter your network data to log into the network.
    This worked fixing my two computers and my parent's computer.  All have been working well for a few weeks now thanks to this.  I think the passwords somehow become corrupt with keychain because analyzing the logs of my AEBS, I could see that the computer was registering but the AEBS wasn't giving it access (I'm using WPA2 encryption)."
    Good luck.

  • Duplicate Sharing Name after Sleep

    Strange problem.
    I have a new IMac running 10.5. It is set to require password to disengage the screen saver. After entering in the password, the Mac gives the error message:
    "The name of your computer, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX is already in use on this network. It will be renamed XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (2). You can change the name by...."
    Every time it wakes up, it keeps showing the error message, but keeps adding a number to the end, i.e.,
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (2) becomes XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (3)
    then
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (3) becomes XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (4)
    It's as if it is seeing a ghost of itself on the network and thinks there is another computer with the same name.
    I have searched the net for some possible clues to no avail. I'm thinking it could also be the router. But only this Mac on the network seems to be experiencing the issue. I want to avoid having to wipe the thing and rebuilding it from scratch.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello Greg,
    Hmmm, this is a toughie and sure sounds like a bug since it started occuring in the 10.4.4 update right?
    Is all the printers from one maker and have you emailed their support?
    Have you asked them to talk to Apple?
    You can try downloading OnyX and running all the "automation" and reboot, it sometimes does wonders by clearing everything out.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    By the way, seriously consider cloning that boot drive, it will save your bacon one day, maybe even tommorrow.

    Check in the Windows power profile for the brightness issue. Windows will apply it's own at boot, then Power Manager will override, which leads to a momentary discrepancy.

  • Slow reconnect after sleep

    My early 2006 iMac takes a long time to reconnect to my wireless network after sleeping. It finds the network no problem just takes up to a minute to "wake up" and find and join the network. Is there any way to speed up this process? My Macbook connects about ten times faster after coming out of sleep so it has to be something with the iMac and not the network.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Solution for 'my mac will not reconnect after sleep'

    After lots of trial and errors I found the way around the problem of dropped or very poor wireless connection after you put your mac to sleep.
    I have no idea what the problem really is but this procedure has stopped me from throwing my brand new MacBook through the window.
    1) Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced
    2) Remove any network you have there memorized
    3) uncheck option 'Remember any network this computer has joined' (leave the other options also unchecked)
    4) press ok and switch AirPort off ... then on (make sure you have 'Show AirPort status in menu bar' checked)
    Now the only real change we've made is to stop Mac memorizing our network - but here lies the solution.
    Put your MacBook to sleep and than wake it up. It will not connect to the network (none are memorized) but all you have to do is choose your network name from the list on the menu bar. It might ask you for the key but in my case it simply asks for permission to use my KeyChain (memorized WPA2 password).
    Once I press 'Allow' .... it works as it should! eureka!
    Do not check 'Remember this network' when asked for password.
    As long as Mac does not store your network details it reconnects without problems, once you allow it to store these details, re-connection after sleep goes pear-shape.... figure it out Apple!
    I hope this might help you (as it most certainly works for me)
    best regards
    ffar

    I've run Keychain utility. I also removed (as suggested in various places) any entries referring to my wireless password in KeyChain and allowed them to be memorized again. It doesn't change a thing.
    Please understand me correctly. My Airport does re-establish connection automatically (if network details are stored) but connection is extremely flaky, slow and with frequent dropouts. So the Keychain is not to blame here (I think).
    If I establish connection 'semi-manually', as described in my previous post, it is perfect, just as it should be. This would indicate to me that the problem lies not with the Keychain, but in the way OS stores network details.
    If I do not allow OS to keep network details - re-connection works.

  • Wireless network does not automatically reconnect after sleep

    I have a Belkin wireless G+ mimo modem router network. When I wake the mac from sleep it does not automatically reconnect to my wireless network and i have to manually select the network from the airport icon in the menu bar and then it connects without having to reenter my secure password. How do i set the mac to auto connect to the network after sleep? There are about 6 other wireless networks in range which may be effecting this reconnection.

    In may case the network was already at the top of the preferred networks list.
    Based of of a hint over at MacOSXhints.com, here's how I fixed this problem:
    1. In the Network references pane, delete the Airport connection that does not like to reconnect.
    2. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
    3. Put the computer to sleep.
    4. Wake the computer.
    5. Go back in to the Network pref pane and re-add the Airport connection. Do not try to connect to the network at this time.
    6. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
    7. Use the Airport menubar app to connect to your network.
    8. Verify connectivity
    9. Put the computer to sleep.
    10. Wake the computer.
    11. Verify connectivity
    My machine now consistently reconnects when coming out of sleep or restarting.
    God luck!

  • How to make trackpad automatically reconnect after sleep?

    I have a magic trackpad and an MB Pro.
    When I return to the computer after it has been sleeping overnight, the magic trackpad will not reconnect automatically.  If the computer sleeps briefly, the connection is restored automatically.  If the trackpad is powered off after sleep, it will reconnect when powered on.  But after a long sleep, or perhaps when I have disconnected the laptop for a while I cannot easily make it reconnect.
    It will not reconnect if: I click the power button, click the trackpad, select the trackpad by name and connect from the bluetooth menubar item, connect manually through bluetooth preferences, or turn off the trackpad entirely then turn it on again (force into discovery mode). 
    The only somewhat reliable way I have found to reconnect is: 1) turn off trackpad power, 2) go to trackpad preferences, 3) set up bluetooth device, 4) power on trackpad, 5) select continue when device is found.
    When disconnected, in bluetooth preferences, the device is shown as being paired.  I added it to Favorites.  It is discoverable.  Battery power is good.
    I can reproduce the same symptoms with these steps: 1) put the computer to sleep, 2) manually turn off the trackpad, 3) turn on the trackpad again (it blinks, indicating attempt to discover), 4) wake the computer.
    Can anyone help me find a less time-consuming way to re-establish a connection when the computer wakes from sleep?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the 'root bridge' in Access Point mode but the remote devices did not try to reconnect. I also tried 'non-root bridge', 'root bridge with network clients', 'automatic' etc. I let it sit for a few minutes after each change to see if it helped.
    I've going to change it to 'Access Point' again and leave it overnight to see if one of the three remote Workgroup Bridges that are currently unavailable will re-connect.
    I know if I ask the site electricians to power the remote Workgroupd Bridges off and on they will connect for a while - its quite frustrating!
    Thanks again

  • Shared computers lost after sleep

    There are three computers normally appearing under "Shared", to which I connect via my home network (cable, router, etc.).
    One computer is a Macintosh (Powerbook G4, on Tiger), the others are PCs (one on XP, one on Vista).
    Since I have installed Leopard a few days ago, those computers disappear from the "Shared" list after my iMac wakes up from sleep.
    Any solution?
    Thanks!

    I had this too... tried all the remedies I read online, from deleting plists to tweaking MTU sizes... including the one that solved it for the above poster, but nothing worked more than a few hours.
    What 'finally' worked was static IP reservations in DHCP on my Airport Extreme, and 'just' for my Yosemite Macs. My older Mavericks Mac and Apple TV don't have this problem... clearly something introduced with Yosemite. Personally, I think it's related to the new Continuity 'features', but that's just speculation.
