Unmount of home failed 45 unmount of net failed 45

My 8 core mac pro will not turn off
unmounting of home failed 45
unmount failed net of 45

I had the same problem happening with my 27' iMac with OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). After trying out everything that was suggested (repair permissions, empty caches etc. etc.) and almost giving up on this after many days, I eventually found out that the culprit was Kapersky 2011 Antivirus Mac! I had installed the software for testing purposes, and then trashed the application again, because I didn't like it. Since then I had this shutdown problem.
I finally found out that I can fix the problem by downloading the 30 day trial version of the Kapersky software once again and use the uninstaller included in the .dmg to remove any traces/leftovers from the Kapersky software.

  • Unmount of /home failed (45)

    I have verbose mode enabled, and when I shut down my MBP I gets the error:
    unmount of /home failed error (45)
    unmount of /net failed error (45)
    and it hangs.  I need to force shut down at that point.
    This is an intermittent error I have had for a while.  And it seems to happen when the machine has run for maybe a week or longer on end (it sleeps in-between), and not when it is only up for a day or two.
    I do not seem to be able to find any reports under 'Diagnostic and Usage Messages' in console.
    I suspect that the error happens earlier, but have no clue as to why and how.
    Googling showed that Kaspersky or Parallels, might be a culprit , but I have never had these installed.
    I repaired permission but no succes there either.
    Anybody any idea?

    I use verbose mode too and I get the same failed error each time I shut down my Mac Pro but the shutdown proceeds to power off without issue. I wonder if the problem is instead related to the lines above it. It looks like you've got your system drive separate from your data drive. Also, do you have Time Machine running, perhaps over a network? The "Reply queue not empty?" may be related to that and may be the real problem.

    Dear DS Store,
    Thanks for the response.  (Is this what you mean in your step by step tutorial by giving credit?)
    I should also preface my run-through of your tips by noting that my wife's Macbook air will shut down properly and get past the "unmount of /net failure" business without problems if I do not run iTunes (current version 10.6.1).  I can run Microsoft Office, Chrome, Mail etc no problem without triggering this problem.  In these circumstances I've been able to see that the next messages that SHOULD show up after the "unmount of /net failed (45)" are:
    done
    MACH Reboot
    wlEvent EN0 EN0 Link DOWN
    (These lines blink by so quickly that I couldn't read them, I had to freeze frame a video I made of a proper shutdown sequence).
    However, when I run iTunes, I ALWAYS get this failure where it freezes after the "unmount of /net failure (45) line" and is never able to shut down properly. 
    This problem occurs with both local accounts as well as with mobile users syncing to my portable home directory server.  (Even with a local account with nothing in the iTunes library).
    I should also note that before I got your response to my question, I had already undertaken to reinstall OS X (with full software update done immediately after), and still was encountering the same problems after.
    Regarding your steps:
    Step #1 SMC reset - Done, did not change outcome - still hung at shutdown
    Step #2 PRAM reset - Done, still hangs at shutdown
    Step #3 Startup manager - not done as I have no problem with getting into the boot volume
    Step #4 - Repair disk - DIsk repaired using Lion recovery HD, no errors found, did not change outcome
    Step #5 - reset home directory permissions and ACLs - done for all local accounts, portable home directory accounts, root - still hanging at precisely the same point
    Step #6 - hardware test not done, problem seems to be software/OS related.  (going to run extended tests overnight)
    Step #7,8 - did not seem pertinent to this situation, as it is possible to boot into all accounts no problem.
    Step #9 - all data backed up on Time Machine, and also synced to server
    Step #10 - software updated done
    Step #11 - permissions repaired - still problematic
    Step #12 - Onyx cache cleaning - plists check out fine, cleaned out all caches (except system logs), did all the maintenance tabs (did pretty well everything I could see as options) - problem still persists.  (I had hoped that cleaning kernel and dyld caches might do the trick, but no).
    Step #13 - Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.whatever and anything.plist (3 files altogether) - same problem.  (There did not appear to be any other corrupt plists that needed deletion)
    Step #14 - Activity monitor - no runaway processes.  mdworker busy, but due to spotlight caches being purged in step 12. System Diagnostic log shows nothing. 
    Step #15 - there isn't any third party software on my wife's macbook air that isn't running on my own macbook air and macbook pro (both of which are not facing this problem).  I tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes prior to getting your advice (this is a PITA, by the way!!!!), and had ended up with 10.6.0 installed (since the downloadable installer from Apple at the moment isn't the latest 10.6.1 version), and software update not recognizing the need to update, which is when I went ahead and reinstalled OSX. This did not clear the problem.
    Step #16 - created a brand spanking new account called test.  Problem continues to occur with the new account.
    At this moment am wanting some feedback on what you think sofar of the problem before I go ahead and do something more destructive or tedious.
    I should note that I do not seem to be able to find any reference to the problem in the system.log or kernel.log files in Console.  When I look through kernel.log there is nothing logged around the time the failure to shut down occurs, and in system.log, the last logged item is usually 1-2 seconds before I get the stream of other stuff that occurs as shown in the screenshot above, which includes a statement to the effect of "Userspace shutdown finished at [timestamp here]" etc etc....  I do not know if this other stuff is logged elsewhere, or not at all, as I have never seen this stuff in the logs in console.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I'm having problem networking a Yamaha home theatre amp with vTuner (net radio) with my 2nd gen Time Capule. I only occasionally connect.

    I'm having problem networking a Yamaha home theatre amp with vTuner (net radio) with my 2nd gen Time Capule. I only occasionally connect.

    Remember everything outside Apple uses SMB type network protocol, not AFP..
    That means all your names have to be SMB compatible.. ie
    TC name, wireless names, hard disk name..
    They must be short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Explain how the whole network is connected.. which is the main router.. ?
    How is TC2 connected to TC1?
    What mode is it running in?

    Hi Scott.
    There is a problem - but Apple have not acknowledged it. Many people on these forums are experiencing the same issue.
    To get something done, you should report it here. The more of us that tell Apple about it, the more likely they are to fix it. You could also send a short email headed 'Apple TV update problems' to

  • Using patch plans for 12.1.0.2 target oracle home fails with 'PREREQ_MESG: Unable to get the version of OPatch'

    We are attempting to use patch plan to apply PSU and one-offs to a new 12.1.0.2 database oracle home.  Our EM version is 12.1.0.4.
    We are experiencing the same issue described in ''Bug 20271609 : Unable to get the version of OPatch".   This bug is closed as 'duplicate bug to filer' but we do not appear to have visibility into what patch/bug fixes the issue.
    Description from the above mentioned bug is our same issue.  We do not have this issue when we use patch plans against an 11.2.x oracle_home target.  It is unique to 12.1.0.2 oracle_home target.
    Description from the bug:
    The Plan failed in step "Run Prerequisite Checks" with the following errors:
    PREREQ_NAME: Minimum Version of OPatch
    PREREQ_DESC: Check if the required version of OPatch is present on the target
    PREREQ_TYPE: PATCH_TOOL_CHECK
    PREREQ_STATUS: FAILED
    PREREQ_MESG: Unable to get the version of OPatch at
    /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_2/Opatch
    We have opened an SR to see if we can get more info on what was already identified as a bug.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  If so, can you share any patches or workarounds (other than manually applying patches) that you found useful?
    Thanks.

    You'll probably get the same info from Support, but the workaround is to use the Patch Database (however that doesn't work if there's no DB target associated to that home).   If you were trying to do patchign out of place (clone home, patch, then move db's), EM can do this for you.   If you're just installing a new DB Home and trying to patch, then i don' think there's another workaround.  The base bug is marked fixed though, so a backport for the 12.1.0.6 plugin should be available very soon.  I would ask the support analyst to request the backport for your plugin/patch level...

  • Startup class : Context lookup for a Home fails in a new thread

    Hi All,
    I am having a funny problem with Weblogic Startup class.In the startup method,
    I am creating an instance of InitialContext. I called look up in this context
    for a bean's home. It works and it retuns the proper Home interface.
    But, when I use the same InitialContext instance in a new thread, and again if
    I call look up for the same bean's home, the server fails with a SecurityException.
    I don't have any Role based Security for this bean.
    Btw, I am using Weblogic 5.1 & SP7.
    Any ideas or help, appreciated..

  • OC4J:HOME failed to initialize after installation of ADF Runtime

    Hi Everyone!
    I already asked this question in the Jdeveloper forum but I have some questions with regards to the OAS that's why I am reposting it again...
    I am trying to deploy an application developed using Jdeveloper 10.1.3 in Oracle 10g AS version 10.1.2 residing in a different server. I have followed the steps required in deploying to an older version of OAS. I recompiled my applications to use J2SE1.4. I have also downloaded the standalone ADF Runtime Installer so that I can install the ADF components in OAS.
    After the installation of the ADF Runtime, my oc4j:home process failed to initialize/startup. When i try to manually start it in the OEM, i received the following errors:
    An error was encountered while loading page. Entity not found.
    Resolution:
    Entity not found
    Base Exception:
    The plugin OC4J did not have any documents associated with the Document Key OC4J_INSTANCE_ID:home;
    Resolution:
    Contact Oracle Support. Exception thrown by plugin "orionp":
    The plugin OC4J did not have any documents associated with the Document Key OC4J_INSTANCE_ID:home;
    Resolution:
    Contact Oracle Support
    There are no logfiles as well... When I tried to uninstall the ADF Runtime using the installer, i got the following error:
    Uninstall Option is not supported for AS.
    For the OAS gurus, I just want to know if its possible to recreate the oc4j:home?
    Can i just delete the problematic oc4j:home and just create a new one?
    We already have some forms-based applications that are running in our OAS. Will it still work properly if I recreated the oc4j:home?
    Thanks!

    /OraHome/j2ee/home/confirm/server.xml check this xml file and it is empty or not. If it is empty than copy server.xml.old file in the same path directory to your server.xml file. Then try to start your home instance again.

  • Win 10 home fail to install several times. What next?

    Windows 10 home update is listed as failed several times.  Why, What's wrong, and can I fix it?

    It is possible that you had corrupt or missing install files. Were there any compatibility issues noted before you attempted the upgrade? Be sure you have your Windows key on hand, if required and go to this site, option 3 or 4 should do it:http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2267-windows-10-upgrade-installation.html#step3 

  • Accessing users home dir from W7 using net use

    Hi!
    Probably I'm doing something wrong. OES11SP1 on SLES11SP2. User home dir accessible using net use from Windows XP, but not from Windows 7. Already tried to change LmCompatibilityLevel in registry (to 1), but didn't help. I recall, some year ago I had same problem from W7 (64bit) and then I installed Novell Client, now I'm trying to wo the client, should be possible?
    More thanks, Alar.

    If you can or can't access a share on OES11 without the Novell CLient
    depends on if you have configured and enabled CIFS on the server.
    Note that "Net Use" is an universal command, and uses the Novell CLient
    too *if* it is installed. Many People believe "Net Use" would somehow be
    Microsoft Network specific, but it isn't. It uses whatever network
    client is isnstalled and able to access the resource.

  • Wifi connection at home fails with macbook pro

    My MBP's connection with my home wi-fi often fails, occurring any time from a minute to 30 minutes after I connect. That is, I connect fine for a while and then find that I have no connection. 
    Two other devices, an ipod touch and an older Powerbook, also connect to the modem but almost never have any connection problem.

    I have a Belkin Wireless N router at home that my iPhone connects to beautifly...Except for the fact that it reverts to EGDE for web pages, and cannot connect to the iTunes store.
    I own a coffee house, and there I have a Linksys G router, and it connects with no problems at all. iTunes music store works great there, downloaded a song and all.
    I am going to try going to a static IP adress and remove the erroneous 192.168.2.1 in the DNS listing. I believe this to be a problem with Belkin Routers. I spent an hour on tech support with them and no luck yesterday.

  • Net-auto-wireless isn't really doing anything

    I've got netcfg installed and I'm trying to use it for my wifi configuration on my laptop which has an ath9k wireless chip.
    I've got my profiles (WPA personal) setup just fine, when I do netcfg my.profile.name it brings it up and it works. However if my wireless drops for whatever reason, or I come to work, I always have to manually do "netcfg profile".
    In my rc.conf I have nothing in INTERFACES (only have wlan0 on this machine), I have WIRELESS_INTERFACE defined as wlan0, I have two profiles in NETWORKS, and I have "syslog-ng hal net-auto-wireless netfs crond" in my DAEMONS list.
    Can anyone see anything that I'm doing wrong? How does net-auto-wireless actually work?

    Okay I can't get it to automatically connect neither to wired no wireless network.
    ifplugd at least is trying to connect to networks, I can see in /var/log/everything that but wpa_actiond simply sits there silently and does nothing.
    When run manually, either via rc.d/net-auto-wireless or directly, it connects to a wireless access point immediately. No problem here.
    So, basically I had gone through the following scenario today. Went to work office, plugged in ethernet cable, ifplugd tried to connect to any of the networks specified in the profiles but failed to for whatever reason. No meaningful explanation. All it said was this:
    Jan 27 09:44:57 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: ifplugd 0.28 initializing.
    Jan 27 09:44:57 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: Using interface eth0/00:13:77:49:00:BE with driver <8139too> (version: 0.9.28)

    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: :: ho-eth up [BUSY] > DHCP IP lease attempt failed.
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: [FAIL]
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin pdp-wifi
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin st-mt
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin home-wifi
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin sc-eth
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin st-eth
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin st-wifi
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: client: loadin uncle-wifi
    Jan 27 09:45:09 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: Program execution failed, return value is 1.
    Jan 27 09:47:39 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/netcfg.action eth0 down'.

    Jan 27 09:47:39 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[27597]: Exiting.
    So, I had to do netcfg -u $PROFILE to set up network connection manually. Then I went back home, where I use wireless ap to connect to the home LAN, I saw ifplugd detect that ethernet had been down so it properly unconfigured eth0, again /var/log/everything clearly stated that
    Jan 27 14:03:00 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[28240]: Link beat lost.
    Jan 27 14:03:11 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[28240]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/netcfg.action eth0 down'.
    Jan 27 14:03:11 localhost ifplugd(eth0)[28240]: Program execution failed, return value is 1.
    but nothing was happening for wireless interface at all. This was registered in the log when I got bored with netcfg/wpa_actiond not doing my job for me so I ran /etc/rc.d/net-auto-wireless restart which configured wireless network connection:
    Jan 27 14:12:59 localhost wpa_actiond[4401]: Starting wpa_actiond session for interface 'wlan0'
    Jan 27 14:13:00 localhost wpa_actiond[4401]: Interface 'wlan0' connected to network '$ESSID'
    I think my configuration is correct but well I could've missed something of course. So, to save us time:
    - all profiles are in /etc/network.d/. one of these looks like this:
    % cat /etc/network.d/home-wifi
    CONNECTION='wireless'
    DESCRIPTION='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection using a static IP'
    INTERFACE='wlan0'
    SECURITY='wpa'
    ESSID='$ESSID'
    KEY='$KEY'
    IP='static'
    IPCFG=('addr add dev wlan0 $CIDR/IP brd +' 'route add default via $IP')
    DNS=('$IP')
    POST_UP="sh /home/$USER/scripts/netcfg-home-post"
    - /etc/rc.conf:
    # net-auto-wireless support
    WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0"
    WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0"
    DAEMONS=(... !network @net-profiles net-auto-wireless net-auto-wired ...)
    no ROUTES, no INTERFACES. Clean and neat. No syntax errors.
    Software installed:
    ifplugd 0.28-7
    wpa_actiond 1.1-1
    netcfg 2.5.4-1
    So far the problem is that ifplugd can't connect to a wired network, but at least it attempts to, while wpa_actiond does nothing at all.
    I really want my laptop to do this automatically. It's like... you know... 2011 already! Computers must do this stuff xD

  • Dropped calls and "Call failed" on edge

    My experience has been the opposite from others on the forum with the new 2.0.2 software. I can get 3G in town and I can place and receive calls just fine. At home, I only have an edge connection with usually 2-3 bars. 9 out of 10 calls I try to make from home fail. I get the three beeps and "Call failed" message on the screen. Usually it is a split second after I hit the call button. It's not even trying to make the call. I have restored it, restarted, etc. and it still happens! I cannot make a phone call at all. This is my business phone, and it is affecting my response to clients. Anyone have any suggestions? I will probably go to the genius bar tomorrow, but if I don't have to go through the hassle, I won't.

    tigerarch,
    Does this happen in all locations, or just your home?
    What does the AT&T coverage map show for your home?
    I live in a moderate area, and AT&T's disclaimer on the coverage map says that Good and Moderate may not have in building coverage. Not only does my iPhone sometimes not pick up a signal or complete calls, the same applies to other AT&T phones there.
    My home is also made of stucco, which along with brick and cement block, is one of the worst materials for blocking signals.
    If this only happens in one location, I would recommend contact AT&T and see if they will open a ticket. The probably won't open a ticket if your coverage is listed as "Moderate"
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
