every so often throughout the day, i'll get a error dialong telling me that my mac can't connect to a server because it no longer exists. This server was my old machine that has since been renamed on the network.
i don't want it to connect, i also don't want it to ask to connect. how do i find out why it's trying to connect, and how do i end this madness?
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Is a slideshow selected as the screensaver, and if so, is Photo Library selected as the source?
I have the iTunes artwork screen saver, but I will change that to a different one just on case and let you know.
Ok, chaging the screen saver did not help. still getting the dialog. ****.
Boot in safe mode as directed here:
Log in and see whether you still have the problem. If you don't, it's caused by one of your login items or a system modification that loads at startup or login.
If the problem isn't resolved that way, other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application
See iMovie Troubleshooting: Connection Failed, Server Does Not Exist.
