Removing NFS mounts after upgrade

In Tiger, I had set up a number of static NFS mounts to a Linux server using NetInfo. After upgrading to Leopard, these static links are no longer working, but the newly created automounts using Directory Utility work fine. I've been trying to remove the old entries using dscl without success. I have a number of entries in /Local/Default/Mounts, eg:
$ dscl localhost -read /Local/Default/Mounts/doobage:\/home\/michael
dsAttrTypeNative:type: nfs
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default
GeneratedUID: B719E4FA-33F7-449A-AD63-0452515F0FF2
RecordName: doobage:/home/michael
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Mounts
VFSLinkDir: /server/michael
I've tried deleting these using the dscl -delete command, eg:
$ sudo dscl localhost -delete /Local/Default/Mounts/doobage:\/home\/michael
Password:
delete: Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)
I suspect that I'm simply using the wrong key name, however, there aren't any examples of deletion in the dscl man page. Can someone please point out where I'm going wrong?
Thanks,
-Michael

External Hard Drive will not mount after upgrading to Yosemite

IDisk won't mount after upgrade to 10.5.3

I can't access my iDisk after upgrading to 10.5.3. I can sync calendar, address book, etc., but cannot access the iDisk.
The error I get tells me that my *"Member name or password maybe invalid"* and also "*An unexpected error occurred (error code -8056)"*
My member name and password are valid because I can sync and access iDisk via the web. I just can't get the iDisk to mount in the Finder after upgrading to 10.5.3.
Any clues??

I think I have identified the problem, and have a work-around:
With 10.5.3 the System Preferences have changed for the .Mac settings. In order to get the iDisk to mount, you need to disable the automatic login for .Mac in System Preferences. Once you have "Singed Out" of .Mac in the System Preferences you will then be able to go the menu bar under "Go" and mount the iDisk. The iDisk will not mount in the Finder icon called "iDisk" but will mount as an icon with your .Mac username.
Here's how to do it:
Open System Preferences
Click .Mac
Click "Account" tab
Click "Sign Out" button and acknowledge
Go to Apple Menu Bar: Go>iDisk>My iDisk and sign-in as usual
+Finder will launch but iDisk will mount under your .Mac username NOT under iDisk icon+

Remove NFS mount

Dears,
2 problems:
1. I used NFS to mount a share drive from a testing machine. Whenever the testing machine reboot, all
servers who mounted to there will receive a shutdown warning message, how to get rid of this?
2. When I remove a NFS mount from a system, the "df -k" command will still hang until NFS server timeout, is that anyway to fix other than reboot the
server?
thanks.

Time Capsule won't mount after upgrade to iTunes 9

See my full post in the Time Capsule support section ("Help! Time Capsule won't mount after installing iTunes 9"). My music library is on my Time Capsule, but after installing iTunes 9, it won't mount on my iMac G5. I can use the internet, but the disk won't mount. My Powerbook hasn't been updated yet and the Time Capsule mounts fine.

To make it easier, here's the post:
"My music library is on my 500 Gb Time Capsule. I just installed iTunes 9 on my iMac. It updated my library and synced my iPhone. Now, the TC won't mount. I still have internet connectivity, but I can't access my media or print to my printer connected to the TC. I can use the computer and everything, but if I hover my mouse over the TC disks menu bar icon, I get the spinning beach ball there. If I try to connect using my Network icon in the sidebar, it allows me to log in and get to the screen to select the volume I want to mount, then stops responding. In the Activity Monitor, AFP Client & AirPort Base Station Agent are not responding. I also have a Powerbook G4 w/Leopard (10.5.8) which hasn't been updated to iTunes 9 yet. The Time Capsule mounted fine on it."

External hard drives won't mount after upgrading to Tiger 10.4.9. Help!

Hi, I've just got the latest iMac. Very excited! I did all the software updates, connected my Western Digital extended hard drive so that I could copy some files over onto my new Mac. It was fine at first. Then when I wanted to open up the external hard drive icon on my desktop again and double clicked on it, everything disappeared from the screen for a few seconds, then reappeared but my external hard drive simply opened the window to my personal hard drive on the Mac. The WD links to my computer via Firewire. I then connected my USB external hard drive stick and it was the same story.
I used Disk Utility to test everything and everything was fine.
I then reinstalled Mac OSX 10.4.8 and plugged in my external hard drives. Everything worked perfectly. After copying over documents and a couple of programs, and downloading a few more programs, I ran my software updates again, upgrading the operating system to Tiger 10.4.9. I attached my external hard drive and it was the same problem all over again.
I the read up the online discussions and also chatted to an Apple dealer, and their advice was to download the Intel Combo and reinstall the operating system. I have just done this and my external hard drives will still not mount properly. Their icons appear on screen but double click them and everything disappears.
Please help. This is really frustrating as I have a backlog of work to do and I seem to be wasting hours on this. Not only that, this is a brand new machine which I rightly expect to work straight away.
I look forward to your response. Thank you in advance.

External USB drive partition not mounting after upgrade to 10.6.6

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini and have an external HDD (Seagate GoFlex Desk) setup with two partitions with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" format. After the recent OS upgrade, only one partition mounts. I have tried to verify/repair from DiskUtility and it shows all green over there. It just fails to mount. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have the same symptoms : external HD with 2 partitions. Only one mounts.
I can mount the other one in disk utility and access files in terminal. But the partition doesn't show in Finder or any apps.
I've tried to disable journal and enable it again but nothing changes.

USB devices won't mount after upgrade to 10.6

Hello,
I recently upgraded to 10.6 and ever since my USB devices (flash drives, and external hard drives) will not mount when the computer is safe mode. The device show up in disk utility but are unmounted. When I press mount it says that the disc needs first aid, I perform the first aid and nothing changes. My computer is always in safe mode, the devices will mount in a normal boot but my computer is not stable in a normal boot. Also, it seems that iPods and cameras work fine.
Thanks for any help!

Well, the problem is that - as outlined in one of the articles I linked to - some USB devices will not work in Safe Mode; that may have to do with the fact the Safe Mode is only meant to be a troubleshooting tool, not a regular way of booting up. Did you have the USB devices attached while upgrading to 10.6? That would also be a problem - I unplug everything except keyboard and mouse.And, did you repair permissions after the upgrade? If not, do it now.
And, the other problem is the fact that you wait 1 - 2 years before addressing the issue; when you had it in for the last repair and it still exhibited the same problems afterwards, you should would have taken it back, possibly with some screenshots, exact notes of how/when/error messages, etc. and insisted on having it fixed or replaced.
So, I'd run the Apple Hardware Test (after you make sure that you have a complete backup) - instructions here:

Remove old OHOME after upgrade

Oracle GI 11.2.0.1/11.2.0.3 - standalone ASM, no RAC
Oracle db 11.2.0.1
Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64
This last weekend I upgraded my GI from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2.0
Old home was /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
New home is /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/grid
database home is /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
Now I would like to clean up by deleting the old GI home, and am testing on a sandbox under VBox. Same system as I used to test the upgrade procedure, and it looks as close to the live box as I can get it.
Of course, with 11g, the OUI doesn't do installs any more, and the supplied deinstall file also has issues.
Found MOS note 883743.1, downloaded linux.x64_11203_deinstall.zip and unzipped it, then ran that deinstall.
The deinstall failed, and the really surprising thing is it complained that a whole bunch of files in the old home are still in use ..

Hi,
This is a known issue (listed in Readme)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/readmes.112/e22488/toc.htm#CHDDJCFH
Where did you find that particular document?
I just now double checked the 'readme' docs that came with the 11.2.0.2 media I had downloaded and was working with. The download comprised of 3 (of 7) zip files. The first 2 for the database, and #3 for GI. Of course the 2 db files unzip to a common 'database' directory, and the GI unzips to its own 'grid' directory. Each unzipped directory has its own readme, and neither matches the part number of what you cited. (readme from Database is p/n E15732-03; from Grid is p/n E15732-03). Nor could I find anything about that issue in either of the readmes I have.
You can either use the workaround stated there.
However checking for notes in MOS you find:
How to Deinstall Old Clusterware Home Once Upgrade to Newer Version is Complete (Doc ID 1346305.1)
How to Proceed from Failed Upgrade to 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure on Linux/Unix (Doc ID 969254.1)
So you don't deinstall the old home, but you "simply" delete it.
Ok. Just as I used a vm to practice the upgrade, I've been using it to practice the cleanup. After reviewing my work some more, I see that it reported a 'detach' on the inventory. So I double checked the inventory.xml and see that it now lists the old 11.2.0 home as "removed". Also see this note in the MOS doc I was working from (note 883743.1), stating " Check if Oracle Home folder is deleted or not. If not then you have to remove it manually."
Still leaves me wondering why the desinstaller reported that it couldn't delete files/directories. Here's a sampling of the messages. Note the variety
Failed to delete the directory '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/auth/crs/vbdwprod'. The directory is in use.
Failed to delete the directory '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/auth/crs'. The directory is not empty.
Failed to delete the file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/init/ohasd'. The file is in use.
Failed to delete the file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/crs/template/appvip.type'. The file is in use.Note especially that last one .. a file in the 'samples' directory is in use?!?!?! there were a total of 18 files in this samples directory that were reported "in use". And yet when I ran that list against fuser and lsof, they both returned nothing.
At least I now have a working solution.
Thanks to you and Pierre for your assistance.
Please make sure you moved all files... I had custom failover scripts build, which I had placed under $GI_HOME/crs/public.
These are not copied during the upgrade, so after I deleted the old home, I had to recreate the scripts and to reregister the resources...

How do you remove AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi after upgrading to windows7

Uninstalled itunes before upgrading to windows7 from vista, now unable to re-install due to it being unable to find asu.msi

now unable to re-install due to it being unable to find asu.msi
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Canon HF20 won't mount after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my Canon HF20 will no longer connect via USB. This is a basically a USB hard drive as far as the OS is concerned, and I've typically mounted the camera and copied my AVCHD files to an external drive for editing. No special drivers or software was required for this on Leopard. Has anyone else seen this, had it work, etc...?
Thanks!

Hello,
Is your camera still working, and did you do anything special to get it to work? My HF200 doesn't connect properly since I upgraded.

Encrypted .dmg won't mount after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard and having trouble mounting an encrypted disk image that I use for my confidential files. I have tried mounting using both DiskImageMounter.app and the Disk Utility but both give error 60008, unable to attach.
Anyone else having similar problems or have suggestions for alternative ways of mounting?
Best,
Jon.

My encrypted disk image with confidential files was created under Leopard using Disk Utility. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and when I try to mount the image, the password box comes up (as before the upgrade). But, I enter my password, and the disk image does not mount, it just keeps asking for the password again. I also have the latest MacBook Air and I also have an encrypted disk image there too with the same problem when I try to mount it. In addition, I have a LaCie 1TB External Harddrive that contains an encrypted disk image. When I try to mount this disk image, which normally appears on the desk top, I get the same repeating password box. Entering the password does nothing--other than causing the password box to reappear. All three encrypted disk images worked fine without any issues before the upgrade. So, based on the number of views that this post has had, this appears to be an issue that needs a resolution. Any suggestions or others with similar problems?

External Hard Drives not mounting after upgrading to Lion

I'd happily go back to snow lepord if it's a simple fix.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.
