SHARED DRIVE auto LOG IN -- how do I stop it from doing that?

I have two iMacs on my network running OSX10.5.7 I often share files between the two systems.
Whenever I start one of the iMacs it asks me to log into the other mac (it acually halts the startup process and waits for your response, ok or cancel.
The iMac will then continue starting up.
How can I stop this from happening? I've checked log-in items and dont see an auto mount scenario.. I am perplexed.
HELP!
Thank you!

This is the screen I get on startup (my system is set to auto log me in to my desktop):
"Enter your user name and password to access the file server POWERBOOK G4"
The G4 is the name of the other iMac
It then asks me to connect as: a gust or registered user. If i input my name and password, it will mount the G4's shared drive on my desktop. This happens EVERYtime I restart my iMac.
I took a photo of the screen, should you like to see it -- cant figure how to post it here.
I looked in the Directory Utility application as suggested... nothing there to delete!

I've been deleting the info in the "Sort..." fields, but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. How do I stop it from doing that?

I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens. How do I stop it from doing that? It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

Why does the cursor keep going to the address bar and how can i stop it from doing that?

For some reason after one of your updates, the cursor on the browser always goes to the address bar. It deletes the address and wants me to type in a search term. I have gone through the necessary changes that your support page suggested to turn that feature off, but it still does it.
It is seriously irritating and inconvenient. How do I stop it from doing that. I am very close to not using Foxfire anymore as my default Browser. Please let me know how to fix this problem.

For me at least, it's not a mouse setting.
It started after an update a couple of months back and nothing I can do will change it. Tried running in safe mode, it does it, tried a reset, still does it. uninstalled, reinstalled, does it now too.
It's infuriating!
Currently running version 31.

When I add an event to my calender, it also adds two alerts. How can I stop it from doing that?

EVery time I add an event, it places two alerts on the event. How can I keep it from doing this?

Hmmmm....But even when I do that, the two playlists go into the general music file and mix together. So I don't understand the point of a playlist if it all just gets thrown into the general mix. Seems like if you create a playlist, it should be separate--otherwise, what's the point? Or maybe I'm missing the point. Sigh...

Youtube won't let me type in comment box below video, and keeps affecting the video when I hit keys. why and how can I stop it from doing that?

It seems whenever I use YouTube with Firefox, the YouTube video will only ever let me interact with it unless I go full screen then hit escape. if i don't, I can't type in the text box below the video. even stranger, if I go to a new tab and try to enter something into, say, Google, I can still pause and un-pause the you tube video, even in the other tab, just by trying to type in a text box. Why is this happened, and how can I make it stop? it is starting to get very disruptive.

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

Latest version of firefox keeps opening new tabs when I don't want it to - how can I stop it from doing that?

I'm running 8.01. Another PC next to me is at 8.0, and it doesn't do that.

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

My printer prints a news feed from MSNBC everyday. How do I stop it from doing that?

My printer prints a news feed from MSNBC everyday. It has since the day I hooked it up. I never approved or asked for any such news feed to be printed. I haven't even been on MSMBC's site. No idea why it does this! Is it build into the software? Corporate sponsorship? How do I make it stop? It is using my ink up and as everyone knows, the ink is high dollar!

Yes you or someone in your household signed up under EPrint for an account and activated this. You must go to your ePrint account and disable the app there.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

Firefox keeps focusing on a tab when i drag and move tabs around while in a different tab. Can i some how disable or stop it from doing that?

Minor Question
i loved being able to use this setting/feature(?) before, and it's really annoying now that every time i drag a tab while in a different one it goes immediately to the tab i'm dragging. i use to do it all the time but now it doesn't work. Hoping for some way around it!? thanks in advance.

Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.
You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.
Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

When I try to set a photo for my wallpaper, its zooms in. How do I stop it from doing so?

When I try to set one of my photos as the walpaper, it zooms in on the photo. How do I stop it from doing so?

Hello joecarusoinc
The reason it zooms in on the picture is to give a sense of depth perception and not have any black space with the photo. If you want to reduce the amount of zoom try turning on Reduce Motion to see if that will work for you.

I use to administrate my DSL modem via an ip-address. When I enter it into FF8 I am asked where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent FF8 from doing that?

I use to administrate my DSL modem via an ip-address. When I enter it into FF8 I am asked where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent FF8 from doing that?
And now anytime I am entering an ip-address I am asked if I want to download the file.

It happens when the modem server doesn't send the file as text/html, but with another MIME type.<br />
I tried the index.html addition in case the server might send that file as text/html.<br />
If your DSL modem has a support website then you can try to ask there for advice about how to configure the modem server.

Select the wi-fi tab in the menu bar then select "Open Network Preferences..." Select the "Advanced" button, then select the network that it is interfering with your MBP, then hit the - button and it will "forget" that network. Hope that fixes your problem, good luck.

Idvd loads every time after log on. how do i stop this from happening.

every time i log on to imac g5, idvd5 loads and i have to "quit" the application to close the program window. how do i stop this from happening every time i log on?

If it appears in the Dock, control-click it and uncheck Open at Login. Otherwise, open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and remove it as well as anything which may launch it from the list of login items for your user account.
