How to delete the folder VOLUMES on the main drive?

Leopard creates a folder called Volumes on the root with aliases to external hard disks. I can delete the folder but as soon as I connect to the local network server, the folder Volumes appears again with an alias to the hard disk in the server. How do I permanently delete this folder? My Dock grid list is totally ruined by this folder. I was used to 5 folders on the root. Now it's six and I don't want that. I never had this annoying folder and I didnt do anything except for the 10.5.4 update. I also have no file or folder sharing active. The Volume folder also (re)appears when I connect an external USB disk. pls help

A problem I have with this folder is that although it is an alias, sometimes when I do file transfers (such as receiving large amounts of photographs via pando etc.), as well as downloading the file to the external drive, as I have instructed it, is stashes the same file in the "Volumes" folder, and over time it can really start to eat away at the disc space. (I only recently discovered this recently and was this able to free up about 12 GB of disk space). I am pretty sure this is abnormal behavior for this folder, but I don't have any idea where to look to find what the problem is. Any idea what might be causing this, and how I can stop it doing it? It isn't catastrophic, now that I know, because I can periodically go and clear it out, but the eroding disk space caused me lots of problems until I discovered that this is what was causing it.

    I like it ! NI is the best, if you don´t want to work with it.
    Das ist nicht gerade eine qualifizierte Aussage.
    Dennoch könnten Sie die Advanced File I/O Funktionen nutzen um sich schnell ein VI zusammenzubauen welches genau diesen Ordner innerhalb eines Stammverzeichnisses , so wie Sie es ja anscheinend angelegt haben, in den gewünschten Namen ändert.

  • I just got my Ipad2 and have my email accounts set up.  When I go to the folder icon at the top of the page and click on Sent Items they disappear to somewhere.  How do you look at your sent items?

    I just got my Ipad2 and have my email accounts set up.  I have sent messages but when I go to the folder icon at the top right of the page and tap on SENT emails it makes the inbox email on the screen disappear.  How do you check your sent emails?  Thanks for your help.

    You can send over WiFi, but it sounds as if you need to setup your Gmail account, or did you do this already?

  • How to delete a line item from the sales order

    Hi all,
    how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi
    U can do this in two ways one u can short close the order by entering Reason for rejection in VA02 at header level and if yr order is multiple line item order u can enter the reason for rejection in any of the line item which u don't want to deliver.
    This is called short close ( as the qty is not delivered fully).
    Thx.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • How to handle the 'folder button' in the path command throug Event loop ?

    Hi everybody.
    Again a stupid question but I can't find the answer.
    My VI has a dynamic event loop, to execute the right code depending on user action.
    Everything is working well but now I wish to do the following :
    I use a 'path command' with the path entry (like for text) and the folder button.
     the user click on the path entry     ->   something A happens.
     the user click on the folder button  ->   something B happens.
    As the folder button and the path entry are the same command, how to differenciate those two events in the event structure ?
    Maybe there is a value in the node, but I can't find it ...
    Thanks for helping !

    You can't do exactly what you are wanting to do. The problem is that you can't trigger an action based on clicking the browse button. To implement that you will need to hide the browse button that LV creates and put down a button of your own that you can then track and respond to independently.

    How to delete a published service from the service registry?
    In the WS navigator I found only this operation:

    I miss the operation deleteService.
    Have you an idea?

    Hi all,
    I have opened an oss message and now I have an answer:
    Use this Service: ServicesRegistrySiService and the operation deleteServices with the logical key of the service as parameter.
    The logical key can be seen from the SR UI in the details of the endpoints.

  • How do I allow network volumes with the latest iMovie 10.0?

    How do I allow network volumes with the latest iMovie 10.0? The old "defaults write -app iMovie allowNV -bool true" doesn't work anymore.

    So, apparently, while iMovie is open, I have to EJECT the Net Drive.  When I remount it, iMovie immediately picks it up.
    That said... the update leaves much to be desired.  Many of the Projects have unlinked video (even though the same update using a Firewire HD shows the video linked).

  • I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree.  The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

    A couple of suggestions that may help:
    - Make sure you've made the left-hand column as wide as possible by grabbing the divider between the column and the Library grid view.
    - You can hide a parent folder from the display by right-clicking it and selecting Hide This Parent. This will shift all the child folders to the left.

    I know you already solved this but for future reference, there is also another setting to only keep songs downloaded to your device visible in music.
    Go to Settings --> Music --> Show All Music and make sure it is turned off
