Since installing mountain lion my network drives do not wake with the computer. The drive folders for them are not on the desktop. I have to go through my shared directory and click on the drives again for them to appear back on the main screen.
Any ideas?
This was working fine with the Previous OS. Been playing around with it all day. If the computer just goes to sleep it recovers fine. If it is asleep for a while is when it loses the drives
No, no ideas yet. I have the same problem.
My only answer to this was to not let the computer sleep. I hate doing it that but at the moment it is my only solution.
When I woke up this morning, I found my iMac also awake. Again, without any network shares mounted.
The shares it is supposed to mount are served by a Mac Mini running Lion Server, by the way.
I have exactly the same issue: Waking up my iMac from sleep results in no longer mounted network volumes.
One thing I notices in addition, which might belong to this behaviour: I have a multi users on my Mac. When having network volumes mounted and I switch to a different user they get unmounted. On Lion this was different. The other user still had the volumes mounted on his desktop, but was not able to access them. Having no access could also come from being in a "normal" user group instead of "admin"...
I've never experienced this on Lion. My girlfriend regurly uses my iMac, but my drives stayed mounted.
I am having the same issue. My network drives are disconnected either when I wake my iMac up or when my wife switches to her account. Looking for away to disable this feature which seems to be new in Mountain Lion.
I am also having this issue, it is so Irratating since 90% of what I work on is on one of 5 netowrk drives. This was never an issue in Leopard or Lion, what has changed. Come on Apple lets get this fixed.
I will never keep my Mac from going to sleep or "locking it" before i leave my office, who wants to leave their projects open for the cleaning lady to play with.
I am using Buffalo NAS and I am having the same issue. This is very annoying as all the data is stored there and it keeps losing the connection. As soon the iMac goes to sleep it loses connection to everything and I have to re-mount the drives every time it wakes up. Very frustrating !!!
I got a solution which work in my 2011 Macbook pro 15"
First need to remove the mounted network drive in Login Item in User/Account setting, then re-add the network drive again, and it won't discoonect after sleep.
Please try and see if it can help.
Will give it a shot and let you know how I make out. I thought I tried this already but will give it another go.
I will try it out tonight as well. I would like to see if I click switch user if that will not disconnect either.
I tried, didn't work.
I tried the "usual" reset of PRAM and SMC and now it seemes to work correctly!
