After installing Lion I now get random pop up error messages that say...There was a problem connecting to the server. URL's with the type "file" are not supported. I have to keep closing them. Any ideas what to do?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
I don't know what they are, but I get them as wel.....
Known issue, see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191972
Basically turn off time machine when the disk isn't connected.

Thanks Shawn. I just turned off Time Machine since I've nothing connected to it anyway. Hopefully this does the trick.
Actually, In my case, turning off Time Machine didn't help. I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then unplugged it and plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.
Anyone getting this pop up error message after installing Lion?
