SD card and USB key connection when user is logged off

Yes I have to admit: I am a switcher.
There is a thing I don't understand and I don't know if it is a feature or a bug.
I have implemented the screensaver to ask me the password after some time. So I have noted that when the Mac is in this state, if I connect an SD card or a USB key, these pheriperals are not connected. If instead I logon and I reconnect them they work.
Is it a feature or a bug?
I hope I have explained well the problem

It's a feature. USB drives must be unmounted or ejected before they are disconnected, to prevent volume corruption and data loss. The feature prevents users from getting into the situation where they accidentally plug a drive into the wrong computer, and then can't unlock the screen to safely unmount the drive before disconnecting it.
That's my guess, anyway.

LAN card and USB not detected (KM4M-V)

I just formatted my PC yesterday, installing Win XP SP2. But the intergrated LAN card and USB is not detected in device manager. I tried HELP but cannot solve the problem.
I am a little confused. After formatting and installing Windows, the hardwares who don't have driver will be having a question mark icon in the device manager. But for my computer, no USB or LAN card is written in the device manager. How can that be?
I had checked my BIOS and nothing indicated to change the USB or the LAN card.
Where did i go wrong? I am using a MSI KM4M-V motherboard.
Anyone can help? Thanks.

Is your problem caused by your PSU? post your system details and full specs of your PSU so we can assess further

Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
Any help will be appreciated

Mike,
We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
1)
Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
2)
Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
3)
Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
4)
Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
Steps to clean boot machine:
================
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup> Disable all
Reboot
Thanks,

Enforce AnyConnect client to do machine authentication when user is logged on

Hi All,
I want to use AnyConnect as a supplicant to our corporate WLAN and also use Machine Authentication feature on ACS 5.3.
Is there a way how to enforce AnyConnect client to do machine authentication when user is logged on? Sometimes can happen, when user just hybernate the computer and do not log off and log on. If they don't do this in some period, then they are not allowed to use WLAN.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Karel

The problem appears to be if a user hibernate or ACS is reloaded and machine authentication timer expired and user need to logout and wait or reboot the machine. After that it authenticates and then user can login again. Anyconnect 3.1 will allow eap chainging and should be able to address that problem.

Payroll locks when user is logged into the portal

When users are logged into the portal, and HCM runs payroll
they call and ask the user to log out, because payroll can't run and gets hung-up.
Seems very odd, anyone else hear of this?
Thanks

Users getting logged off

In WLS7.0 cluster we do not have in memory replication turned on.Once in a while some of our users get logged off while working in the application even when both servers in the cluster are running.
          Can this be the cause of not having in-memory replication?
          Thanks
          Anil

In the past when I ran in this sort of problem it was one of two things,
          1) The plugin failing for some reason (Apache, IIS or Netscape) so if you use a plugin have a look at its logs, it may help.
          2) Java script in the application code that flipped between https and http (buggy code).
          Good luck.

Audio Card and USB to SPDIF direct connexion as ASIO

tight
I think that you should add an option
for direct support of ASIO
and the similar ones in the operating
system or to do something like
asio to avoid the use of
direct sound and not function for
all functions in the operating system
without the need to install additional
programs for direct communication with sound
cards or USB to SPDIF card as
(xmos, cm6631 and other) to make it more professional to
use a computer as audio
processing and sound for listening to
music especially for audiophiles

DIREC SOUND is bad for using .
he did not gives the original sound.
sound is very muddy and compressed
why not introduce direct
communication with the cards as an option
for the user.
and it can function properly
without internal upsampling or
down sampling.
example if listening 44.1KHz
file 16 bits, it can
not internally raises 16 or
24bit 48KHz, so internally
it down to 44.1KHz.
be brought direct communication with
the prefect bit, ie the original
bits and Sampling. so
if I want to squeeze down
or upsampling samling
We demand, we audiophiles
because any internal change,
as 44.1KHz 16 bits, to 16
or 24 bit 48KHZ or other, or
then return back to the original
16bit 44.1KHz too entirely spoils the sound
it may not not feel the
normalen system, but when you have
a system of 5000K and up to feel
bigger difference. I have AUDIO NOTE DAC
5, worth £ 50000 USD and works
without oversampling because the guys
saw that it spoils the the sound.
DAC he is named one of the best
if not the best in the world

Outlook 2010 shows "Not connected" when users try to view other users calender

Hi all
I have enabled the possibility for all users to view all users calender information. This have worked fine but now some user get "Not Connected" when they are trying to see other users calendar. I have two database servers using DAG and one
database per server.
Does anyone have experienced the same? Or have a clue on what can cause this?
Pittbull

Hi Pittbull,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Please check if these problematic users have permissions to the calendars they are reviewing. Maybe the calendars' owners have removed the review permission of others via Outlook.
2. If the issue persists for a few users, they can try to new a profile and check the result.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

How to have ethernet connected PC use printer and USB HD connected into TC

So I just got a new Time Capsule (500GB) and the way I have it connected is the cable modem goes through it and then another ethernet cable connects to my desktop PC (no wireless on this PC). Then I have my USB printer and USB HD going into the USB port on the Time Capsule via a USB Hub. Airport utility sees both the HD and the Printer.
My problem is that I can't get my PC to see the HD or the Printer. How does a PC connected through a ethernet cable and not wireless see and use these two peripherals? I have Bonjour for Windows installed but I thought that was for a wireless connection? Also is there a way to open some kind of configuration thing for Bonjour on my PC? Where on my PC would I find the HD and Printer (like in Windows Explorer or Network Places), I can't find these devices anywhere except when looking in the Airport Utility Manual Setup.
Any help would be much appreciated. I don't have much technical knowledge about networks.
Edit: One last thing is that before getting the TimeCapsule, I had a regular D-Link router running my wireless network and the printer was connected directly to the PC. This setup allowed my Macbook to use the printer and access any shared folders/files on my PC. My Mackbook was recently stolen and my new one will arrive next week, so right now I can't really test whether the Macbook can see and use the HD and Printer if they are connected to the Time Capsule. I'm wondering if I should just go back to plugging the HD and printer into the PC and running the network sharing that way????
Message was edited by: arbitrage

Just wanted to bump this question to see if anyone has any answers. My main issue is seeing the time capsule from my Windows desktop and the connected harddrive. However, my new problem is that whenever I connect the USB Windows Formated HD to the Time Capsule the whole thing just stops working and my PC and my MacBook can't read the Time Capsule at all until I turn of the USB HD. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Was the card previously working in that machine? If it was and you have a G5 tower you could try the card in there. Here is a list of Apple fibre cards and cables which show what's compatible with what. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1769
The card should appear in the System Profiler under Fibre Channel and PCI Cards.
All the best
