Volume window opens when mounted

I have an external drive with three partitions. When I plug in the firewire cable from the drive to my MacBook, all three drives appear on the desktop.
One of the volumes also opens a Finder window displaying its contents. This is annoying and I'd rather not see the window when the volume is mounted.
Any ideas?

Hmmm! The proverbial missing information. I have the install disk restored on an internal partition and that doesn't happen. Check the window that pops up and ensure there's no efi file displayed. If there is, delete it, close the window, dismount, and remount. Alternatively, you could use CCC to clone the install DVD, just make sure that the window that normally pops up when you insert the DVD is closed before cloning.

  • Auto Login Volume windows open up Annoying

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question I hope someone can solve.
    Ok its what I like to call an annoying fix. I set up my computer so that I auto login on to the office server and mount the volumes on my desktop. HOWEVER, everytime I restart my macintosh and it auto logs in... ALL the server volume windows open up and I have to close them everytime and there are 20 partitions!. Is there a way to fix this? I tried selecting the hide option in the login items pane of the account preferences but it didn't work. I'm almost going to resort to making an apple script but there must be a setting to stop this. Thanks

    Thanks for your reply,
    It is in the start up items and the hide option does not work.
    It's not just my macintosh but every mac in the office has the same problem. I've also seen the problem on other computers in other offices. I thought it might be a server issue but I've seen this problem occur regardless if it's a Windows or OS X server.
    I'm beginning to wonder if it is a bug or if OS X is set up that way on purpose.
    I do know it is annoying.

  • Another window opens when i click on something on mac

    another window opens when i click on something on mac

    A window is suppose to open if you click on an app.  You need to clarify exactly what is going on.  Are you saying 2 windows are opening up?  If so, check your speed settings in System Preference>Mouse.
    Since you did not provide any system info (blank system profile) I cannot offer any further suggestions. 
    When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which Mac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

  • A hidden window opens when I move my cursor over it. How do I change this to having to click on the hidden window to open it?

    It used to be if I had more than one window open, I had to click on the hidden window to bring it to the front. Now, if my cursor slides over the hidden window, that window opens. I want to change it back because it causes a problem when typing. If I put the cursor where I want to type something and then move my mouse out of the way, what I type does not show. I am not sure that this is just a Firefox problem. It may be broader.

  • Previous window opens when opening a new window

    When I have a number of windows open, and am looking at, say the third window and wish to open a new window, the last window in the sequence opens just before the new window.
    Although the new window will be on screen, as soon as I close the new window, instead of going back to my last viewed window, it goes to the last window in the bar.......it is very annoying and would like to get rid of this problem.

    What's an "I bar?"
    Tip: Ctrl+E will place your cursor in IE8's Search box.

  • Finder window opens when user logs in

    I apologize if this has been answered previously - I can't find anything on this topic.
    Every time a user logs in to one of my eMacs - OS 10.4.10 (whether it be a local or network user) a new finder window opens that displays the users home. I would like this window to stop opening. I've read some responses that say to close the window then log out and the window should be gone when you log back in. That is not the case. I thought this solution my work on my local users but it doesn't work for either type of user.
    I'm trying to avoid writing a script to close the window. I'd like the window to just stop opening in the first place. I tried editing the finder.plist file and I can change what the window opens to, but I can't "turn off" the actual opening of the window.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I do not have anything checked in the login items. This is happening for both local and network accounts. I'm more concerned about this issue for my network users.
    I've discovered that the problem seems to have something to do with a script I had running via a login hook. Is there any way to run a script when a network user logs in without adding it to a login hook?
    We have a program on our eMacs that resets the computer back t o its original state every time the computer is restarted. For this reason network user profiles are never stored on the eMac they are recreated from the default user template every time a user logs in.
    Maybe this extra information will help!
    Thanks!

  • New window opens when "add to shopping cart" is pressed in MDM

    Hello,
    Running MD 2.0
    When I add items from MDM to a shopping cart, a pop-up window opens with the shopping cart in it.
    I do not want this, I want the shopping cart to be in the same window as the rest.
    I believe this is controlled in Internet Explorer settings, any ideas?

    Hello GAR,
    You can only check "returntarget" value with http log tool like httpWatch. SRM pass it automatically with value "_top" and Catalog side should use it like this.
    <form action="<Hook URL sent by SRM>" target=="<returntarget sent by SRM>"  method="POST">
    My guess is returntarget value is wrong.

  • New window opens when dragging image to desktop

    When I drag an image from a browser (say Chrome) onto the desktop, an all new desktop finder window opens. How do I turn this off, I can't seem to find any setting for this. Am I just not seeing it, or is there no setting to turn this off.
    Thanks for any help?

    Control (right) - click on the image and use the
    either of the two Save Image options.  I have all downloads go to a Scan Me folder hence the Save Image to "Scan Me".  That doesn't open another Finder window.

  • Why does a Finder window open when I start my computer?

    It's been doing this for a while, and I find it highly annoying. If I want a Finder window, I'll open one. I believe it began with Lion. I have looked in the Finder preferences and system preferences to try to disable this, but I see no option to do it. How can I make this unwanted behavior stop?

    Be sure that you have closed any Finder window before shutting down. Any windows left open will re-open when you restart.
    Also check in your Login Items in Users & Groups Preferences.
    In which directory does the Finder window open?
    Lastly, check your system logs for an explanation. They should show why it is opening. Usually it is some other program that starts on boot and requires the Finder to open.

  • All minized firefox windows open when I open a new window

    I have several firefox windows open and minimized. When I try to open a new firefox window, all the minimized windows open and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I correct this so that the minimized window remain minimized when I open a new window?
    Running Windows XP.

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Two windows open when I open Firefox. I just upgraded to 6.0.2

    I just upgraded to 6.0.2. Now two windows open each time (your firefox is updated). There is also a lag becasue it is checking ad ons. I tried deleting prefs.js. I also reinstalled Firefox. Nothing works. Very frustrating

    Could it be something else besides apps, that's downloading, but not finishing? Like a movie, or book?
    I got Toy Story those two little movies from 12 days and the other one is not downloading.
    If thats the issue, pause the movie download, so it will download your apps.

  • New window opens when I click a link

    On some sites, every time I click on one of the links, a new instance of Safari opens. The same site does not do this in IE or Firefox and in latter, you have controls of how links open..new window, new tab, or force open within current window. Anyone know how to keep only one window open in Safari?

    If you want new windows to open in a new tab, instead of a new Safari window, just hold ctrl while clicking on the link. Make sure this option is enabled in Edit->Preferences->Tabs, if it doesn't work for you right off the bat. You can also do what I do, and simply right-click on the link, and select Open Link In New Tab.
    There are some other neat Tab features too, if you have multiple windows open already, you can go to Window->Merge All Windows, and all open pages are moved to Tabs in a single Safari Window.
    Conversely, you can send a Tab to a new, separate window, by going to Window->Move Tab To New Window.

  • Problem - Minimized window opens when active window is closed - help

    When using CS5, if I am working on two images, the minimized image will always open when I close the active image. This is very annoying and I can't find anyway to stop it. Can anyone help?
    Thank you,
    Lee

    Good day!
    It looks like you are opening the images without tabs (good choice in my opinion, if you want to change it check out Photoshop > Preferences > Interface > Open Documents as Tabs) but that would not really explain your statement
    I can't really edit the picture.
    Which features are non-functional exactly?
