Why do my smb shares keep disappearing?

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and since then my SMB shares where I store my documents and photos etc keep dismounting!!!!
I have launched Terminal and looked in /Vloumes and they are gone from there as well. Prior to the upgrade they used to remain persistent on the desktop but now it's stuffed...
Whats the fix?????????

I think Gedp is correct in the assessment it has to do with display or computer sleep. I had been running into this as well, but I thought it was a glitch with Screen sharing over VNC. I stumbled across this post, so I disabled display sleep and computer sleep and so far so good. I'm using my machine as a headless server, so those settings aren't a big deal, but for others this has to be a huge pain in the neck.

    Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

    reboot the router (and the printer). 
    If still happening, check your router settings.  Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
    The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
    You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

  • Network shares keep disappearing

    So I have a MacBook Pro connected to my home network via an AirPort Extreme. The AirPort connected to a LAN cable that then goes to my network's switch, router, and modem.. so the AirPort is set to act as a bridge. A couple days ago I mapped a network share (a drive on my server which is a PC) on my Mac. So the drive "Nick" was sitting on my desktop. Then I opened up Quicksilver and told it to catalog "Nick". This all worked.. but then I go on my computer the following day (without turning it off in between) and my network shares have disappeared from my desktop and Quicksilver no longer finds things on "Nick".. Even if I remap the network share Quicksilver can't find anything on it. I've had this problem before with a Mac Mini I used to own.. Why does OS X seem to forget about my network shares after a short period of time? Any help would be great.. Thanks!

    It should've fixed it really, but in the past, I've had trouble with Macs "partially Sleeping" after Energy Saver was once used to Sleep it... seemed like some component of the OS still thought it should go through the motions, even though it never was sleeping... at least it appeared that way to me!?
    We did restart everthing right?

  • Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

    Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs.  It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF.  I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. 
    I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
    1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
    2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
    3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
    4. Click OKs and close the program.
    5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to  Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin. 
    (The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
    Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again.  I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
    So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
    Any help with be awesome.
    Thank you

    Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

  • Why do my text messages keep disappearing in IOS 5 on my 3GS?

    I have an iPhone 3GS that i have updated to IOS 5 and lost all my old text messages that i had kept from 2007 which really annoyed me but what is even more annoying is that my current messages keep disappearing. If i am in an app and get a notification saying i have recieved a text and click on the notification the new text message isn't in my inbox. This keeps happening and it is getting rather annoying because i can't reply to people as i can't read their original message.
    Any ideos how i can fix this... 

    For some reason iphone can only store 15MB of text messages (75,000), if you have that much already it is full and you won't be able to receive incoming text message until you free some space. If all that text message is important to you then I'd find a way to transfer those into your computer by using a third party program (google it). Or just take a screenshot of all your text messages and e-mail them to your computer.

  • Why do my tv shows keep disappearing?

    I've bought one episode of Superatural and one of Moonlight, and each time I play them they disappear off of my iPod. They're both in my Purchase History, but not on my hard drive. I realize that next time I need to make a backup disc, but why does this keep happening?

    I have no idea. A little more information might help us help you.
    Email provider?
    Type of email account (POP, IMAP, Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail)?

  • Why do my downloaded books keep disappearing from i book on my iPad 2?, why do my downloaded books keep disappearing from i book on my iPad 2?

    why can i not finish a book i've downloaded to my iPad 2?  i started reading a book on ibooks yesterday and bookmarked my place.  now today it wouldn't open it and said it could not connect to itunes (which is wrong i can open itunes).  then all of the books on ibooks disappeared (just empty bars like it is trying to download).  why they were all there yesterday and working fine.  i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now.  i just downloaded the new updates for iPad yesterday but obviously it did not fix my problem.  why does this keep happening and how can this be fixed so i can read a book without wondering if it will still be there when i get back to it?  help! please!

    I personally think the disappearing files are caused by flaky/slow internet connection.
    I always make sure files are uploaded to the cloud before I close the app.

  • Why does my Apple TV keep disappearing from Itunes?

    Now this is frustrating. Recently, after months with no problem, my Apple TV is not appearing in my list of devices in itunes. I have switched it off, restarted the Mac etc. Then I reset the Apple TV, hey presto, it was back, until I reloaded the latest software update, when it disappeared again. Any clues as to why this is happening? I must point out that I have recently added Windows Vista to the Imac, but would not expect that to affect the Apple TV, but what do I know?

    Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list.

  • Why does my Firefox Persona keep disappearing!?

    I'm on Windows 7, using Firefox version 3.6.15 - Everytime I re-boot my PC and start up Firefox the persona I've had applied is gone. I checked my Add-ons / Themes, which do show the theme when I apply it to Firefox, but it's gone after re-booting my PC.
    Any way to fix this?
    Also one side question. Why do certain parts of this website appear in Russian? I'm not Russian, and never used a Russian language setting before...=S

    I've been having this problem and posted a solution that seems to work on my blog:

  • Why does my anchor handles keep disappearing?

    This is literally driving me mad.  When I change something via convert anchor tool and then release, the handles disappear and when I click back on the anchor point they go back to where they were originally.  I want them to stay selected. The path has been created using the pen tool.
    Another related question, is there a way to just select one of the handles when clicking an anchor point?  Whenever I click both are selected so when I move the mouse, the other handle is being manipulated too.
    And another question, is there any way to stop anchor handles reverting to their original position settings when clicking to activate them?  I always have to click, then undo.

    You may work on one handle only by Alt/Option+ClickDragging it; you may also retract one handle that way.
    ONLY IF you're using the white pointer. Doing that with the Convert tool will duplicate the segment. Again, Nicola, don't use the Convert tool to select points. That's what you're tripping over.
    Funny name for it, show edges...how are you meant to work out what it means from that name?  With pencil and paintbrush you double click and choose keep path selected, you'd think it'd be the same.
    Nicola, you need to spend some serious time in the documentation.
    The Keep Selected option for the Pencil and Brush tools is an entirely different function. It determines whether a path you draw with the tool REMAINS SELECTED after you mouseup.
    The Show/Hide Edges option in the View menu determines whether a path's selection edges DISPLAY when it IS selected.
    I'm certainly not defending Illustrator's awful interface design; I'm just telling you how it is. (All the more reason you need to read and work through the instructions.) The Show.Hide Edges command is actually a workaround for a particularly bad aspect of Illustrator's poor design: it's insistence on displaying edges of all contents of selected Groups, Clipping Paths, etc. All those selection edges frequently get in the way, so somewhere along the way, Illustrator had to add an option to override the annoying standard behavior. This, too, is poorly done, because you really can't operate for long that way.
    Other programs don't have to second-guess themselves in things so basic as selection display, because they have more sensible interfaces to begin with.

  • Why do my page numbers keep disappearing?

    I inherited a document with page numbers created in Word 10. I had to add a couple of pages to the document and had to change the page numbering which I did by adding section breaks and adding them in to the footer of the document.  When
    I navigated up and down the document they disappeared.  Thanks.

    Everything Rich told you is correct.
    Page numbers are almost always in headers or footers.
    Every section has coding for three headers and three footers, even if only one of each is displayed. The check boxes control which ones are displayed.
    A single page can have multiple sections, each of which can have independent settings for the header and footer, only the settings for one of the sections are displayed, but those settings can control what happens in following sections if they are linked
    to previous.
    You are starting with a document created in Word 2010 by someone else. If it was converted from Word Perfect or a PDF file, it may have many many sections because some conversion software changes margins rather than indents for indented paragraphs. Every
    time margins are changed for part of a document, a new section is created.
    Another way to put it is "its complicated." It can be sorted, though.
    Header/Footer Settings Recap
    One other warning, if you use "Insert Page Number" you will replace
    current header/footer content rather than supplementing it with a page number. You need to insert at current location while in the header or footer to avoid this.

  • Why do my bookmark tabs keep disappearing?

    I have a mac and ever since my Firefox was updated automatically and told me to install the newest version of Flash Player, my bookmark tabs have disappeared. And every time I add them again once I quit Firefox and restart it they are gone again. I haven't touched my preferences in a very long time and this problem only started when the browser was updated. I've tried re-installing the browser and Flash Player, which didn't work. I've also tried holding down option while opening Firefox and selecting to restore my bookmarks, which also doesn't help me.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why do my downloaded photos keep disappearing?

    Hi......its me again! Thank you for your previous help Lt. Leviathan.
    I managed to download photos from my laptop to my ipod touch 4th gen. Your instructions were brilliant, and it all worked a lot easier for me than I expected! My problem now is that I can download one folder fine, but when I download another one its deleting the previous one!?
    This is what I am doing........I select a folder to Sync. The bullet mark shows in "all folders " (can't change as "selected" is greyed out). I click on "apply". Once everything is synced I then hit the Sync button bottom right of screen. I check my ipod and all pics I want are there. I then choose another folder and do the same thing, but when I check my ipod all the previous pics/folder have disappeared!.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?
    Also I tried to create an Album title for each set of pics, but how do I actually get the pics into that album............thats when I can get round the above problem of course!
    Thanks for your help.......I know I am a frustrating woman!!! lol.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Can I get this straight in my mind? Does this mean that I will have to put ALL the photos stored on my Laptop into ONE  large folder, then divide it up into sub-folders? Then I can copy each sub-folder?
    Sorry to sound stupid, but most things I try on my ipod don't seem to work for me. I think I am getting a bit old for all this.....lol.
    .......Actually thinking back, a while back I did click on my main folder called "Nikon" and that did copy everything in it, but just in one whole lot, ie 1,000 photos.........................so nothing was sub-divided into folders, ie. holiday 2010, holiday 2011. Is that another problem I have created for myself?
    Thanks for your patience.
