Hello. How to hide warning when you in other network and external disk is unavailable,
this is very annoying.
Thanks

Heheh My fault. It works. I mispelled the volume. Great work around. Really appreciate it. But I'd still like Snow Leopard to be able to discover my windows machines automatically.

Thanks again

I tried this script and it doesn't work. Error in mounting message and it actually shows the A Problem Occured message in which I have to press OK. Is there no way to for Snow Leopard to automatically see my Windows machines? 10.5.8 had no issues with this. Argh

False promises. I want it to mount on BOOT. To be there BEFORE anyone has logged in.

I'm running 10.6.6 and hide doesn't work for me either. You need to write a script.

Script:

tell application "Finder"

delay 0.3

try

mount volume "smb://IP or ComputerName/yourVolume1"
mount volume "smb://IP or ComputerName/yourVolume2"

on error

display dialog "A Problem Occurred" buttons {"OK"} default button 1

end try

end tell

Replace "IP or ComputerName" with the targets IP address or name. Replace "yourVolume" with the shared folder. Save as an Application and follow instructions from the article. Hope this helps.

The hide checkbox doesn't work for me as well. Running snow leopard 10.6.6. Any Ideas? Just want the hard drive to mount, without finder window to open. Thanks!!!

Jamie – It will look for the network drive, and then tell you it couldn't find it to connect.

What happens if you're not on that network when you logon?
