How to disable Disk Insertion warning message?

I'm running OS X 10.4.8 from an external FW drive, reserving the internal HD on my MacBook for Linux. When booting OS X a warning message pops up: "Disk Insertion - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with action buttons Initialize..., Ignore, Eject . This must refer to the internal HD, as OS X apparently can't handle Linux partitions. Hitting Ignore, or waiting a while, makes the message go away.
My fear is that one of these days I'll hit the Initialize... button by mistake, hosing my Linux partitions in the process. Any gurus out there know how to turn this dangerous (for me) message off?
N.B. I also posted this message on the MacBook forum, but got no response there... sorry for this, I really want to remove this potential landmine...

No. If you fail to eject any disk device properly then there's a risk that cached data will not be fully written thus corrupting the device's data.
This doesn't happen with an iPad or iPod when syncing has stopped because the sync process does not leave cached data unwritten until the device is ejected unless you remove it before a sync has completed. It will happen, however, if you use the iPod in disk mode. The iPad has no default disk mode. You must use a third-party app in order to read or write directly from an iPad. The issue is also academic for iPads and some iPods that do not have disk drives.

  • How to Disable disk eject warning

    I do a lot of importing photos from Compact Flash cards, so much so that I get really tired of ejecting each one after import. I even pull my ipod without ejecting as long as there's no transfer happening. Every time I have to click that I understand the implications of my actions. I there a way to disable the warning? I know what I'm getting myself into and I'm OK with that.
    Thanks,

    I can't remember the steps, but if i'm not wrong, there are many "next" to click, and at the last windows, there is one dialog box with "do not show this message again".Maybe something to do with the registry, to enable to view this dialog box again. Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2012 06:38:24 -0700

  • Randomly occurring Disk Insertion error message

    Running a mac mini with 10.5.4 I seem to get a randomly occurring error message "Disk Insertion - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with choices to "Initialize" or "Eject". The weirdness is that the message seems to pop up at random intervals when I haven't attempted to insert a disk.
    Mac mini 10.5.4 with 500GB external hard drive

    I got this exact same message with my old Mini. It stopped as soon as I disconnected my iPod Shuffle. Haven't got round to figuring out how to fix it yet.

  • "Disk Insertion" error message... and well, no disk!

    hi
    i just removed Office 2004 from my Mac (having switched over to Mail) and upon restarting my MacBook, i now get the following error message:
    *Disk Insertion*
    *The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.*
    i can select EJECT or IGNORE.
    the problem is that... no disk is inserted and i did not try to insert any either!
    clicking EJECT just has the message disappear to reappear a few seconds later.
    clicking IGNORE gets rid of it, but it is there again after the next restart.
    everything else runs fine.
    any clues?
    thx =) dominique

    Problem disappeared after a complete shut down and restart. as opposed to simply restarting which was what i had done previously.
    =)

  • How to handle "Memory Low" warning message?

    Recently users have been getting a warning message when they log on: "Memory low.  Leave the transaction before taking a break."  When we look at SM50 the user has a status of "On Hold" and the reason column says "PRIV".  We are on ECC 6.0 (since January 2010) and V7R1 (March 2011). 
    Usually the message is received as soon as the user logs on so it is not like it is related to a particular program.  We can go weeks without any reported instance of the message so it is not a regular occurrence.  Fortunately there does not seem to be any other symptom other than getting the message.
    I have seen a post on an SAP forum that said to adjust the instance profile with these parameters:
    rdisp/max_priv_time
    rdisp/wppriv_max_no
    I do not have any entries for this now and am not sure what the values should be.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this on an AS/400?  Thanks in advance.
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    what 1024 ???
    then we definetely do NOT need as4/MAXSHR64 !
    I would normally at least go for em/initial_size_MB = 8000 - as you are having issues right now ...
    Or is this a small DEV-system ?
    then 4000 might be sufficient ...
    (the 4096 is just crap - make it simple and use e.g. 4000 then ...)

  • How to disable "Confirm Bounce" warning dialog

    I try to bounce every single piece of junk mail I get, but Mail always puts up a warninng dialog when I do so. How do I turn that warning dialog off?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    dunno,
    but something related: bouncing is useless... Most sender addresses on spam (>90%) are not real addresses, OR they belong to an innocent person whose email address is being abused. This person will get all those bounces.
    Secondly, if you closely study the (full) headers of a REAL bounce and a FAKE bounce from mail.app (and I did this), then you can see that it is fake... (look at x-mailer, smtp server, message route, etc). What does this tell any smart spammer? That you care enough to send a fake bounce! > prepare to receive even more spam...
    So my unsolicited advise to you is: do not bounce. But of course it's up to you.
    Cheers,

  • How to disable Java Security Warning

    Hello Friends
    I am running different versions of JRE on a machine due to specific application exigencies.
    However I noticed that when entering on the application using the lower JRE Version,the following warning message is being obtained.
    The application requires an earlier version of Java.Do you want to continue.
    I have searched on the net..and someone advised to disable next generation Java Plug in.Apparently it solves the issue.
    But I see several advantages we get by enabling this option.Can we disable it or any other way..I can avoid seeing this warning message.
    Regards
    Kam.

    Hi Stuart,
    in Security Warning is text "The certificate used to identify this application has expired". When selected "More Information" -> "View Certificate Details" an certificate for SAP America Inc is visible. Validity of certificate is:
    [From: Thu Sep 12 03:00:00 EEST 2013,
    To: Fri May 30 02:59:59 EEST 2014]
    When I open Router Maintenance in another SAP ME installation validity of certificate is:
    [From: Thu May 27 03:00:00 EEST 2010,
    To: Sun May 27 02:59:59 EEST 2012]
    Where this certificate is located in application server? Is it in code of SAP ME in application server?
    Is it not possible to renew certificate?`
    Regards,

  • How to stop HTTP Security warning message in transactional iview

    When I am trying to access ECC through transactional iview then I am getting HTTP security warning message i.e. This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
    I think it is because portal is accessable using HTTPS protocol and when we access ECC then it uses HTTP Protocol.
    Pl help to resolve.

    Hi AshuGrover_in,
    First, welcome on SDN!
    > I think it is because portal is accessable using HTTPS protocol and when we access ECC then it uses HTTP Protocol.
    > Pl help to resolve.
    This might very well be the root cause of the issue, and if it is, you know the resolution - make all systems accessible via https.
    Anyhow, to examine the exact cause creating this message you could use tools like HttpWatch or something similar and record the client accesses to the server. If you originally have a GET to a https address, the first http request caused by the original request will throw this message.
    Theoretically, on client side, you can switch off this message: Search for "switch off http https warning" on google and you will get all possible instructions for the different clients. Anyhow, a clean landscape design with complete https connections is the aim you should have.
    Hope it helps

  • How to turn off the warning message when re-compiling jsp in embedded OC4J?

    Members,
    I would like to remove the annoying warning messages whenever we re-compile a jsp file using embedded OC4J.
    Steps:
    1. create an web project
    2. create a test jsp file (say, test.jsp)
    3. run the jsp file.
    4. on the jsp visual editor, modify the jsp file.
    5. go to the browser, reload the page. the following warning messages are displayed:

    I'm so much glad to see JDeveloper giving out all the details and warnings, but sometimes they spit out too much warning messages that simply annoys and distracts my programming.
    There seems to be no parameters for me to shut those up, maybe I should do it manually?
    thanks.

    Ronald,
    I've already tried setting up the j2ee-config.xml file, but
    it seems that the warning message does not come from the oc4j, but is generated when jsp file is being compiled, so no matter what you do with the j2ee-config.xml, it would not work to remove the warnings.
    I was thinking maybe I could setup the java compiler option found in server.xml, by adding -nowarn option in javac options attribute, but it seems that the file server.xml gets overwritten automatically whenever the oc4j restarts (so, no avail).
    So... any other ideas?

  • How to get rid of  [WARNING :  MESSAGE ENCRYPTED]

    Hi Everyone, I've scoured the internet looking for an answer to this, but unable to find anything that helps me.
    All the forms I have created were created using LiveCycle Designer ES2 - All the forms that are currently published contain a submit button, and forms are submitted to an email address. Some forms arrive at their destination email address with [WARNING: MESSAGE ENCRYPTED] in the subject heading. Is there anyone out there that can tell me:
    1) What causes this [WARNING: MESSAGE ENCRYPTED] to appear in the subject once received by the recipient?
    2) Why does it only seem to be occuring for some of the forms I have created, and not all?
    3) Is there anything that can be done within LiveCycle to prevent this from happening, or to prevent the message from being encrypted, hence stopping this from happening?
    Thanks everyone.

    I'd not heard of it but just did a search and it appears to be added by some anti-virus email scanners probably because of the file attachment.
    So it has nothing really to do with LiveCycle but the email system being used to send the email.
