Volumes stay mounted after quitting Kanaka without logout

Hi,
this is with Kanaka 2.7 on Mac OSX 10.7.5. Our students have the unfortunate habit of quitting the Kanaka client without clicking on its Logout button. This has for consequence that the previous student's resources remain mounted on the desktop.
The next student, upon login, has therefore access to the resources of the previous one.
Is there some setting we can tune to avoid this situation? We tried the "always disconnect storage volume" preference, to no avail.
Thanks,
Marc Delisle

  • Prevent volume mounting after booting

    Is there a way to prevent a particular volume to mount after booting? I boot from one volume but have other volumes-disks that I may want to mount at a specific moment, but I not want the Mac to mount automatically after each booting (a waste of energy, disk usage, noise, and so on). Of course I can manually mount each volume-disk after booting, but what I want is something that prevents them from mounting in the first place after booting or rebooting.
    I remember that could be configured with third party applications used to format disks on Mac OS 9 (Casablanca Works Drive 7, LaCie Silverlining, Prosoft Radialogic, etc) but I do not see how to do it on Mac OS X.
    Thanks.

    Search these forums for automount and see this one, for example, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6112779 Remember to try it at your own risk.

  • After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted. Anybody else with this major problem?

    After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted.
    I have tried resetting my Mac's PRAM but the problem still remains.
    Even USB memory sticks are unmounted efter a few seconds.
    Anybody else with this major problem?

    I have the same problem, although mine has not been solved by ESET update, finder settings, PRAM & SMC resets or anything else.
    Don't get it, my external hard drive still works on both my housemates computers - one macbook pro (with snow leopard) and one dell, just not on mine with mountain lion.
    Any ideas for me guys?

  • After installing AdBlock Plus I can't quit Firefox without force quitting - help!

    I installed Adblock plus and immediately noticed several issues.
    It took forever to bypass the NY Times opening ad and get to the real front page - troublesome, and time-consuming but at least I avoided the ad.
    More importantly, I couldn't quit Firefox without force quitting. If I used Command Q or selected Quit Firefox from the menu, I got the spinning beachball of death.
    When I disabled Adblock, the problem persisted. When I uninstalled Adblock Plus the problem was resolved and I could quit Ff in my usual manner.
    Any solutions here or do I just forget about Adblock Plus - too bad, it seems like a great idea even though it slowed down NYT (it was faster just hitting the skip ad button after I uninstalled Adblock Plus)

    Problem solved.
    Trashed folder for Adblock Plus and reinstalled.
    Disabled Status-4-Evar and Adblock Plus works and I don't have to force quit to get out of Firefox.

  • Keep NAS Drive mounted after logout?

    Not sure if this is possible but I would like to logout of the server but still have the NAS mounted so retrospect can run the backups.
    I know you can use cocktail to enable external drives to stay mounted but this seems to only apply to attached drives like firewire, not NAS, is this right?

    Cheers for the reply, I am connecting using AFP, it is a Lacie Big Disk and I think it does support NFS so I'll give that a go.
    The reason I don't have it directly attached is for extra security, I keep the Backup drives away from the server, though we are in the process of organising an offsite system so this may not be such an issue then.

  • Premiere Pro crashes after quit - Mac OSX Lion

    Greetings,
    Symptoms:
    I'm experiencing a consistent crash behavior after quiting Premiere Pro (ver 5.5.1 and 5.5.2). The complexity of the project doesn't seem to matter and once it crashes, i get the prompt indicating the app encountered a serious error and will try to save the project. I then get the usual crash report prompt to send to apple followed by the adobe crash report a few minutes later (must be why i see "dynamiclinkmanager" in top for a bit after PP crashes).
    If I reopen PP, I'm prompted with a dialog box asking if I want the last project opened. If I say yes, I'm back to a crash before any assets load (unexpected serious error and the app will need to close) followed by the crash reports again for apple and adobe. Basically, i get one chance to make a project and it goes bad when closing the application.
    I'm using an install from a DVD, but had also tried the web version. I was able to create a couple projects with the web version (trial) and then when I got the DVD, i believe i used that for updating/authenticating, etc - maybe that's where things went south (anyone else observe a similar pattern?).  I didn't think too much of mixing the DVD content with the web install, so the steps around how i mixed those two sources is somewhat fuzzy.
    For reference, i'm pasting the crash report inline. To reproduce, I just had to open PP, click no when asked to open the last project that unexpectedly quit, and then just hit quit and got the crash. I didn't do anything other than accept the project defaults in order to test out hitting command-Q.
    If I can provide futher info to help with a repro, please let me know.
    Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,
    Todd

    Regarding en/disabling the mercury engine, is there another place to toggle that? I didn't think i had any other choice at this time with my card option (until i get a nvidia cuda card). FWIW, When creating a new project, the options in the drop down menu for "Video Rendering and Playback" is greyed out with "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" as the selected option.
    I was also thinking of putting a fresh Lion install on another disk (bah, would prefer to not have to do this since I have other stuff all nice and set up on current OS install), but at this point I'm fine to take the hit and level the playing field w/ a fresh OS, image that for downstream testing if a fresh install is needed again, and then start installing things one at a time until something goes wrong.
    It seems (i hope)  this error could be caused by something pretty basic as it is a complete showstopper. Unless somehow what I'm doing is super unique, there would be other folks out there dead in the water, to, but making waves.

  • USB 3 external drive volume not mounting on restart

    I've bought an external USB 3 full size hard drive enclosure case and put in a 2TB drive. The drive is partitioned into 3 volumes. I've noticed from time to time that the volumes have gotten dismounted some how. If I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in the volumes mount again. After a long time I finally figured it out that what's really happening is that the volumes are not mounting when I do a restart, I just didn't notice it before. Once the volumes are mounted they stay mounted until the next restart. I replaced the enclosure and cable with a different and more expensive brand but that didn't make a difference. No matter what I do the volumes never mount on restart.

    I think this might be due to the fact that my iMac as a fusion drive and it boots so fast that the exteranl drive isn't finished starting up when OS X is looking for drives durring it's bootup.

  • ITunes 7 automatically relaunches after quit.

    I have the same problem on both my intel mac mini and my MacBook Pro. The problem is worse on my mini as iTunes can hardly stay closed for 30 seconds and usually will relaunch immediately after quitting. The MacBook Pro tends to wait about 3-5 minutes after I quit to decide and launch iTunes - especially when I'm trying to play a game or anything else full screen, this is extremely annoying as it takes the full screen item, puts it in a window, and forces the machine's focus to iTunes.
    Any idea what might be causing this? I thought it might be autolaunching from detecting a fake ipod, but I unplugged my ipod and both machines kept launching iTunes. I even unplugged the USB cable from the computer to see if that might help, but no matter what I try, the problem still persists and iTunes has already launched twice in the time that I have written this.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    iTunes related Widgets can cause these problems.
    Disable them and see if this helps.
    Other users reported they could enable them again, without the problem returning.
    hope this helps.

  • After quitting DU

    OK 1 more question, After upgrading to tiger ive noticed after running DU for say like repair disk and after quitting DU i click quit and computer restarts, but ive noticed on tiger after the restart a little window shows up with the HD icon and network folder, is this normal? And whats it asking me to do if anything (or what should i do) Im thinking i should click the HD icon but not exactly sure or can i just close it without doing anything?

    Sounds like you may be booting up to StartUp Manager?
    Try opening System Preferences and choosing your StartUp Disk panel. Then choose the volume you want on startup and restart.

  • 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."

  • Tiger won't start up, no volume to mount to?

    Hi everyone,
    I was doing some permissions repair and disk cleanup, when my power went out. Now Tiger won't start up! I get a full-screen shell with the following text:
    disk0s3: I/O error.
    disk0s3: I/O error.
    /etc/master.password: Input/output error
    disk0s3: I/O error.
    -sh: /etc/profile: Input/output error
    -sh-2.05b#
    If I leave the Mac on, the fans start spinning up slowly and keep building to a roar. I've left it on for about 1 minute, then shut it down.
    Starting up by holding the Command key down after the startup ding gets me a screen with a folder icon (?), which proceeds to turn into a smiley face and then the bootup sequence starts. It then goes back to the full-screen shell.
    I put in my Tiger (10.4) install disk, and the Disk Utility shows the Hard Drive, but the Macintosh HD volume is greyed out and won't / can't mount, be verified, or repaired.
    Trying to install so that I can archive / install yields no HDs that I can install to. Luckily I keep my PC around for just such an occurance
    So the question is, what is going on here? Thanks in advance,
    -Gary

    You are going to have to reformat the drive. If there is a chance of data recovery it would be best if you stop using the drive altogether. Find another Mac with Firewire. Connect the two by Firewire cable. Boot the "bad" computer into Target Disk Mode, then boot the "good" computer normally. The "bad" computer's disk drive should appear on the other computer's Desktop. If the drive is still accessible, then you may be able to recover your data.
    When you reformat the drive use the following procedure:
    1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.

  • Why won't my FireWire HD partitions stay mounted on my desktop?

    Why won't my FireWire HD partitions stay mounted on my desktop? I recenly purchased a quad interface 500GB external HD from OWC (which is connected via FW800). I then partitioned it for TIME MACHINE, some room for a backup of my primary HD, and partitions for boot disks for LION, SNOW LEOPARD, & TIGER. All partitions seem to be OK as well as the backup I made of my primary HD (using SuperDuper). My Energy Saver prefs are set to sleep the display in 3 minutes and the Hard Drive in 15 minutes. I fried one of my processors on the old Quicksilver by setting the Hard Drive sleep to NEVER. Don't want to make that mistake again on this Mac Mini, but I'm afraid that it is these prefs that are causing the primary internal HD to sleep, and at the same time lose my new external HD. Mysteriously, I have a SimpleTech 160GB HD with two partitions connected via USB2.0 and these NEVER dissappear.
    Anyone have some helpful advice? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, it's now Sunday, around 11:00am. What I have discovered has nothing at all to do with Energy Saver prefs as I had previously suspected. This morning, after having unchecked the box that would "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible," I woke the computer and discovered that once again all partitions of my new external hard drive were no longer mounted. So I thought of trying something new.
    Because I believed it to be insignificant, I failed to mention that this hard drive has two FireWire 800 ports. One is connected directly to the Mac Mini, the other I used to daisy chain a connection to my iSight camera (FireWire 400) using a bilingual cable. I wondered if the daisy chain might be causing a problem somehow. Incidentally, the iSight camera launches iChat whenever I turn the new HD off and then on again. An action which has always caused the missing partitions to mount. iChat launches even if the aperture cover is closed (turns camera off). Note: connected this way the iSight camera has been working fine.
    So this is what I tried next. I simply unplugged the bilingual cord connecting my iSight camera. The first time the computer went to sleep, when I woke it again all the partitions were right where they should be. So I took the next step by once again checking the box next to "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible.” Now the Energy Saver prefs are once again set exactly the way they were before I bought this new drive. I left for church at 7:45 and returned around 11:00am. Again, when I woke the computer all partitions of the new drive were exactly where they should be.
    So, problem gone. But now how do I connect my iSight camera? And why is it causing all the partitions for the external drive to drop from the desktop every time the computer sleeps?
    I have a son in the Navy and use the iSight to video chat when he is overseas. Is there something obviously wrong about the way I had the iSight camera connected? I would certainly welcome any help or suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Help! "Select Volumes to Mount" doesn't show G5's local drives

    Hello all,
    After months of successfully connecting to a computer's hard drive on my local network through the "Connect to Server" function in the Finder, I've recently started having problems.
    When I connect, I log in as a registered user on that computer that has administrative privilages. Up until a couple of days ago, I would see 4 available shares: the two user accounts home folders on the G5 and its two internal SATA hard drives. I used to connect directly to the secondary hard drive and store file on it. Now, the two hard drives don't appear in the "Select Volumes to mount" dialogue, and all I have are the two user folders to choose from.
    Does anyone have any idea what may have happened? I do know that an external Firewire drive I had hooked up to the computer has been behaving funny recently (freezing the system, etc.) but I disconnected it and the sharing problem didn't resolve itself. It's probably unrelated, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
    Thanks for your help!
    JQ
    G5 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.3.7)   2 user accounts, 2 internal SATA HDs
    G5 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I Have similar trouble: I have a ethernet network with a number of macs which I regularly sync with each other
    I came up with a peculiar behavior of the type you describe: When I connect to either computer with an administrator pass, I cannot access any other user than my own; volumes on the other hand mount ok.
    If I now login with a user that doesn't have administrator privileges, I can't access the volumes on the mac but CAN access ALL users... seems absurd!
    I wish apple had a built in filtering system in prefs whereby you could determine who could access what drives from what location with which user (kind of built in security filtering you have in airport & wireless networks
    Any insight anyone??

  • Gmail retrieval stopped after quitting MobileMe

    I have been using Apple Mail for 7 years; I'm fairly familiar, but not expert, with the application. For the past 2 years or so, I've been forwarding all work, personal, etc. mail accounts to Gmail, then retrieving them with Apple Mail. It's worked well thus far.
    Yesterday, I canceled a trial MobileMe account I had set up a couple months ago. I had also set up a MobileMe account in my Apple Mail, though I only used it to send mail, not receive. After quitting the MobileMe account, my Gmail account stopped retrieving mail. I figured out how to get it to send (I had been using MobileMe for outgoing mail), but it will not retrieve... the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning. My iPhone still retrieves mail from Gmail, but not Apple Mail on my Mac.
    Connection Doctor says the connection is good. Any ideas on how I can resolve this problem? I have experimented at length, without success.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Erine,
    Yes, I am running 10.5.4. I need to update my profile on these message boards. My stats below are the most current. Anyway, I am using port 25, and the SMTP address is smtp.me.com. I did not set this part up manually; when I added my MobileMe account, I chose the "Add Account" button from the Preferences->Accounts window, typed in my name, e-mail address, and password, and Mail did the rest for me. Is it possible that the Mail app used the wrong SMTP information? Perhaps someone here who is using MobileMe with Mail app can confirm that the server should be "smtp.me.com" on port 25 with SSL enabled.
    EDIT: As I am going into the Activity Window, the outgoing MobileMe just started working! E-mails are sending! Hooray!
    Now on to the bigger problem...why, when I click Get Mail, does nothing happen?! Why isn't Mail app checking for mail every five minutes, as I have set up? And why does Mail app freeze when I try to quit?! Again, thanks for the help!

  • After quitting iphoto computer jams

    Hi there,
    After quitting iphoto, my computer jams and a blank blue screen appears. I have to hold down the power button to shut it down and then start up again.
    Everything appears normal after that. Any ideas?
    Thanks Sally

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Do the same with kernel.log.
    Step 3
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
