Understanding the alert messages
As you synchronize linked pairs, the PowerBook File Assistant displays alert
messages about the synchronization. You can turn off the alert messages by
following these steps:
1Choose Preferences from the File menu.
A dialog box appears.
2Click the “Warn when can’t synchronize” checkbox to deselect it.
The messages do not appear.
If you don’t want the alert message to appear when a file or folder is put in
the Trash, click the checkbox next to “Warn before deleting” to deselect it. Be
very careful if you turn off the alert message that warns you when files are
put in the Trash. Items are put in the Trash during synchronization whenever
a linked item is deleted or renamed.
3Click OK.
Alert messages are turned off. If you want to turn them back on, choose
Preferences from the File menu and click the checkboxes again to reselect
them.
To turn alert messages off temporarily, hold down the Option key. While you
hold down the Option key, the alert messages for any commands you execute
are turned off.
