Disabling "Do You Want To Use..." message

Hey all,
I've seen a post here in the support forums on this topic and can't for the life of me find it, so please forgive my asking again.
I don't use Time Machine. Every time I attach an external HD, start/restart my computer with an external HD attached, etc. I get a message from Time Machine asking if I want to use that disk for backups.
Short of uninstalling it, how do I disable those messages? They bug me. (And, I do back up, every night, but I use different software.)
Thanks--D

I am facing 'How do you want to use this disc' whenever I read/open any lightscribe discs having data.

Hi,
When I insert a lightscribe DVD/CD into a lightscribe optical drive, then when I click to open the DVD, I faced this error 'How do you want to use this disc', although the DVD was full of data. When opening these
lightscribe DVD/CD via NON lightscribe optical drive, I noticed that the DVD/CD opened well without any problems at all.
Also, how can the System show to me 'How do you want to use this disc' , in particular when a DVD is non rewritable(DVD-R) and also contains data)?
Bear in mind, not all DVDs/CDs were not detected. However, only full lightscribe discs' (having data)
However, even blank lightscribe discs were detected without problems. When insert a lightscribe disc having data, then I faced that error. However, when inserting blank lightscribe discs I found that the disc were opened. Also,
non lightscribe discs were opened well.
When checking the device manager, I didn't see any issue with DVD/CD drive. If there were a problem unrecongnising, then I would have seen 'a remarkable mark' in front of it.
Note: I have faced this problem after trying formating a rewritable CD inserted onto the drive. Althouthg the format failed, all data on the disc was deleted. Anyway, after that, then inserting full-lightscribe discs are unregonised
Do you think the problem wth my optical drive. IF so, I would be saying why it wasn't happened with all other non lightscribe discs. If my lightscrib discs were corrupted, then why would they have opened well on another laptop.
I have done:
Press the Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box.
Type devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
In Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the CD and DVD devices, and then clickUninstall.
When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
Restart the computer.
But the same prolbem is existing.
yes there is a virtual CloneDrive program installed on my PC, however, there is no any CD mounted into it. Even if a CD was mounted into Virtual Clondrive, there would be no problem at all, because the virtual CloneDrive is used to only
mount ISO disc images into it, and not physical discs.
Any I have do what you have said, when inserting a light-scribe disc having data, then I open it, I found this
NOTE: in the above screen shot there is a lightscribe DVD having data inserted. However, in the screen shot below, there a ightsrbe DVD not having data inserted. In the first screen shot, the disc is not reconginsed by Windows, however, in
the second is recognised.
Even when I have inserted a lightscribe disc not having data(empty), it opened well regardless of what virutal CloneDrive is enabled or disabled.
But when cliced on my problem didn't solve,

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
FIRST OF ALL:
My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
My
sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
My HP lapotp is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop,
which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is
always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to
the main power supply.
However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is
kept from the dust.
But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop
still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is
not oproperly preporly.
I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I
charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then
when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it
after storing,I found it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it
lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only
lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
the computer shuts down suddenly.
My problem is follows:::
First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data
CD/DVD-R LightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive
'duble-click', then I find that disc opens as this way(NOT: With a CD/DVD player
is grayed out)
Blank Or Used CD, DVD±R,RW lightscirbe is unable to be
read:(clicking on it let it Open like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player:
NOTE: with CD/DVD Player is grayed out)
Used CD/DVD±R/RW Non-LightScribe disc opens normal:
Blank CD,DVD±R,RW Non-LightScribe opens normal(Opens like a USB FlashDrive or
With a CD,DVD)::

I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk
/r /f'
I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software which
came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
I have recovered my system from the Factory Recovery discs.
I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical
drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell
optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc
recording software
However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE
Thus, my questions are:
How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with
another one.
I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP
laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical
drive which is as follows:::(ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of
My Desktop Computer) ---while my optical drive of my desktop was connected to
the primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the
primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning
well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5,
something went wrong, and then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer
(HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOT recognised/Installed on
BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a
recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a
disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it
opened empty(no files at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot
to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was
still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried
clicking on it on BIOS and then clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be
re-recognized. However, that made no difference. I had to take part my computer
,and then reconnected the optical drive onto the secondary slave
IDE , and let HDD connected to the same primary master IDE.
Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs became being read
normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS]]]

Which user account do you want to use to run this program?

As of fairly recently, when I click to start Firefox, and just before it actually opens up, I get a the following screen:
"Which user account do you want to use to run this program?"
I have researched the internet and it seems as if many people have encountered this same problem.
What's causing it, is it dangerous to my computer and how can I get rid of this message?

This is a Windows feature that should only open if you right click on the Firefox icon and select ''Run As...".
Try creating a new shortcut to Firefox.<br>
You must make a shortcut to the <code>firefox.exe</code> in the Firefox installation directory.

Cannot repair Aperture Library, "which library do you want to use"

When I open Aperture and hold down the option key I keep getting prompted for "which library do you want to use"
and it lists my current library and two backup with a , .BAK extension on two different disks.
So I cannot get to the repair options, I only get "which library do you want to use".
How can I get to the repair options?
much appreciated.

You need to press the key combination options-command to launch into the Library First Aid Tools:
Hold down the options key ⌥ and the command key ⌘ at the same time, while launching Aperture. And keep the keys held down firmly, until you are seeing the Library First Aid panel. Then select "Repair Library" from the panel.
If you only hold down the options key ⌥, you will launch into the Library chooser panel to switch between libraries.
What is the reason, that you need to repair the Aperture library?

Do you want to use RarGenie to open this file type??

The short answer is NO!
Another user of my laptop (honest) downloaded some software that changed our default search engines to searchmoose.
I deleted the app, the accompanying "Install Mac" folder in the applications and reset all the search engines.
Everything now seems fine, except for when I download a Rar file, I get a popup window asking "Do you want to use RarGenie to open this file type??"
I've ran a CalmXav scan which came back with nothing. I've followed the instructions for others who have had similar issues, but still have the issue. I've even allowed RarGenie to try and expand a folder, then used AppCleaner to remove all accompanying files, but I still have the issue.
Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks!
That seems to have sorted it.
I'd tried all the stuff on that page and run AdwareMedic before, but it didn't pick up anything.
I ran it again this morning and it found 3 files which, once removed, stopped the annoying prompt.
Your advice is much appreciated.

Instead of running firefox.exe, computer asks me to "choose the program you want to use to open this file".

When I click on either the firefox shortcut or firefox.exe in the Mozilla folder, instead of running, the computer asks me to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox.exe". The recommended program is Adobe Reader 9.1, which obviously doesn't help.
I have uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but now I am trying to run Firefox Setup 4.0.exe, and it asks me again to "Choose the program you want to use to open this file: firefox setup 4.0.exe" Help?

This is a registry problem with your .exe entry
The below program worked for me on my vista machine.

You can download an exe file from there that automatically sorts the issue or you can edit the registry manually.

How to disable "Do you want to open or save..." popup in IE10?

Our company web application UI invokes creation of an excel file by pressing a button on modal dialog. It creates an excel file and tries to open it by Microsoft Excel. The problem is, IE10 brings "Do you want to open..." yellow popup at the bottom
of the screen, and this popup is unavailable, because of modal dialog the excel file creation was launched from. Only when this modal dialog is closed yellow popup became available.
Being not sure if this problem has a resolution without of application redesign, I was thinking about to disable the yellow popup at all. Is it possible? Any ideas?

Hi when I open iPhoto it's says "What photo library do you want to use" Have I lost all my photos? I don't know what to do here can anyone help please?

Is there an item named "iPhoto Library.photo library" or similar in your "Pictures" folder, showing with an icon like a fan of pictures?
Or did you store your iPhoto Library in a different folder, perhaps on an external drive?
if you cannot find your iPhoto Library search for it with Find Any File, as described by Old Toad in this post:
Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?
Old ToadFeb 4, 2014 9:05 PM
Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?in response to onpurpose
Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "iPhoto6.Library". It's a file unique to all iPhoto libraries.
FAF an search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, packages and system files. If there's another iPhoto library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

How to stop: "Sure you want to use Firefox?" message

On my new mac with 10.5, I downloaded Firefox using Safari. Now every time I start Firefox I get a message asking if I want to use it since it was downloaded from the Internet. How do I shut that message off?

Are you sure you've installed it properly? When you first download Firefox, it will appear in a disk image on your desktop. Make sure you drag the enclosed application (the Firefox program itself) into your main Applications folder. Then eject the disk image, and launch Firefox from the Applications folder. You might see that message one more time, but on subsequent launches, you shouldn't.

'Which Photo Library Do you want to use' loop - HELP

I have a New (2013) MacBook Air with Version 10.9 OSX
Yesterday it crashed when i plugged in my iPhone - as usual it opened up iPhoto and attempted to sync.
Now everytime i plug in my iphone iphoto opens up a box saying
'Which photo library do you want iPhoto to use'
I only have one proto library.
It has two options
'Other Library'
'Create New'
Selecting other library and attempting to select the only iphoto library i have - it doesn't allow me to open it (it is like the 'open' button is disabled)
Obviously i don't want to create new.
If i double click 'iPhoto Library' through finder it comes up with the same box.
I have gone back and attempted to replace the iPhoto Library with a backup from a couple of days ago which worked - ie the file copied across fine - BUT still get the same issue.
It is telling me that the iPhoto Library file size is 10.7 GB so it is obviously there.
I don't know what to do next :-(

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Mid-2012 MacBook "Do you want to restart" message with timer?

Hello everyone! My mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15' recently started showing a message in a small box - unnounced - that asks, "Do you want to restart your Mac?" with a 1 minute countdown timer in effect. What is this? I have never seen this before. It is VERY maddening and bizarre. How do I remove/disable this crazy issue? Please help. Thank you.

I am not sure about the Energy Saver as advised by Linc, but I think it will only ask you to put the machine to sleep or shut it down by any means. Correct me if I am wrong.
But if you have set auto update on, the system might have just performed a critical update that required restart and you skipped it once, or more. Try restart the machine ONCE, then see if that message still persist. If it does, I suggest you to take it to the local Apple store for professional helps.

How to disable 'do you want to save changes to...'

Is it possible to disable the 'do you want to save changes to...' pop-up in Reader 10.1.1 LS? I'm using CrystalViewer to read reports - but I don't edit them so don't need to save any changes.

Make sure that the PDF files are not corrupted. Otherwise Adobe Reader repairs the files and will save the changes.

Disable "Do you want to save changes to *.pdf before closing?" when closing a tif

We upgraded to Office 2007 and decided to stop using the Office 2003 document imaging tool to view TIF TIFF files. This tool wasn't included with Office 2007 so we started using Acrobat 9.1.3 Standard as our default TIF viewer.
Here is the problem. When you close the TIF document you are prompted "Do you want to save changes to 'xxx.pdf' before closing?" Is there a way to disable this prompt? We don't want to convert the files since they are in a read only database.

Nope. Using WORD or Acrobat is forcing a conversion and it not an ideal way to view such files. In addition, you may want to change resolution or such of the graphic before you import it to something such as WORD. Many folks embed graphics that are 3500 dpi and millions of colors and totally bloat the file. They even crop the graphic and reduce the size, wondering why their DOC file is sooooo big. In that sense, there is an advantage to having some of the other tools available. You may have special needs and I do not want to second guess your company needs, so that is my two-cents worth. Sorry that I do not have other ideas, but using an existing graphics package would be the best for your need.

Subject: CREATING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH NETWORKING AND SHARING
Hi!
Please give me a few moments of your time. As you are aware, spamming is improper on the Internet. No body likes to have unsolicited email sent to them. This is different, I want to share with you information where we have a common interest.
This interest maybe anything affecting our lifestyle in the family home. Convenience, saving money, saving space or any improvements to our life style in the family home etc.
If you would like to share information with me please click the reply button and I will place your name and address on a list. Then you will be getting discrete personalised emails conveying to you information on how to save money, space in the family home or just plain increasing convenience.
This could relate to any aspect of the family home. This sharing of information will not lead to any obligation from you to do anything or pay any monies.
A typical vital conversation would be around such concepts as:
1. What makes things convenient:
· Because at the time they are useful
· Because they help us utilise our spare time
· Because they help us save space, so that space in cupboards are available for other things
2. What increases utillity in the home, townhouse, and condominium?
3. Space is at a premium, how can I utilise redundant areas in a home.
4. Convenience is not economics, breakeven point analysis or any other system of measurement, it is a feeling.
5. Convenience is the elimination of frustration within a particular arrangement.
6. Frustration is something that inhibits what you want to be done in life.
7. Examples of frustration in a family home:
· Want to get to work quickly but you are on toilet and run out of toilet paper;
· It is frustrating when you can't find space in cupboards to put things.
If you would like to share information with me please click the reply button and I will place your name and address on a list. Then whenever new ideas come my way I can contact you.
