As mentioned, if you have migrated from a Mac OS X 10.4 Mac to Mac OS X 10.5, an alert stating “The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format” may appear when attempting to connect to a server in the Finder (via the Go menu’s Connect to Server choice). The problem is one of the folders created. Here is Apple’s solution:

1. In the Finder, open the folder named System.
2. Open the Library folder.
3. Open the Filesystems folder.
4. Drag the folder named “URLMount (from old Mac)” to your desktop as a precautionary backup.
5. Once the copy is complete, Control-click the original “URLMount (from old Mac)” folder (not the one on your desktop) and choose “Move to Trash” from the contextual menu.
6. Enter the name and password of an adminstrator if prompted. The first user account created on your Mac is an administrator account.
7. Restart.
