How do I turn off this new **** Guest account?

In upgrading to mountain lion I checked the 'back to my mac' option in the iCloud setup, this now has enabled a special "Guest User" account which reboots the computer into a locked down Safari-only mode to entice thieves to go online.
I don't want this. I've disabled "back to my mac", but this account will not go away.
I've tried unchecking the "Allow guests to log into the computer", but it is greyed out and I'm not allowed to uncheck it, even after unlocking the settings.
Lion used to have a setting under Preferences->Security/Privacy->Advanced where you could set an option "Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked" to turn this off, but this setting is now gone in 10.8
At my wit's end, need to disable this login.
Any ideas?

My two cents here if you please.
First, I have encountered this back in Lion. Now in ML as well. Let me break this into two parts:
1. The cause:
IN MY CASE both on Lion and ML, the Guest Account login item appears after you share your folders when enabling Bak to My Mac feature. I have not used FileVault or created a guest user for any purpose. Just creating the shares leads to this.
2. The cure:
a) in Lion - exactly as described in this thread - by going to System Preferences / Security - and then unchecking the Restart Safari thing
b) in ML - (PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS HOW IT WORKED IN MY CASE!!!) - System Preferences/Users&Groups (unlock the pane) - go to Guest User and here UNcheck "Allow guests to log in to this computer" AND "Allow guests to connect to shared folders" (please remember - you may have a different set of options, mine is such probably because I have sharing enabled). Then, when you close System Preferences and restart the Mac, you should see only ONE user to log in (with picture, no need to manually type in the user name).
One more thing: just in case it mattes - I DO NOT have Find My Mac feature enabled, while ALL other iCloud features ARE enabled.
Hope this helps! Attached is the screen for your convenience.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

Here are 3 pictures detailing what I'm experiencing.
Picture 1; clip 1 tail frame.
Picture 2; clip 2 head frame.
Picture 3; clip 2 head frame is now tail frame of clip 1.
does this help describe what is happening? Basically every cut I make
leaves an unwanted frame as a ghost of the missing cut.
best,

When I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots. how do I turn off this view?

when I open my image, it is covered with tiny coloured dots. how do I turn off this view? i've used photoshop for years and never encountered this. i looked at the histogram for some means of turning it off, but no luck. help

The issue I think is connected to the colour profile, and the 8,16, or 32 bit image mode option. In the past, my images have come from lightroom as 16 bit files and I've never had any issues. I guess I'm not very adept at the file handling aspect of this program. I shoot in RAW and like to play around with my photos, then print them. I was under the impression I should be using the srgb colour selection not RGB, but then I've read I should change it to RBG once I'm ready to save the file to print. I also changed my files over the 8 bit from 16 once I saved the after using photoshop.

You cannot go back, but you can fix the battery problem, which is NOT an iOS 7 problem. I've had much better battery life on iOS 7 than I have have had in the previous 6 years of iPhones. If you are not then there's something wrong with your phone, not with iOS 7.

HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
Thanks!

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

Can anyone tell me how to stop / turn off my new macbook pro properly?

Hey. Can anyone tell me how to stop / turn off my new macbook pro properly? Every time I want to put away my computer for a while and then restart the computer again at a later time the battery has been used. That is, the computer indicates that I have used battery, even though I put away the computer with 100% charged.

Every time I want to put away my computer for a while
Prior to shutting down, attach the Magsafe. It will prevent your battery from draining while turned off or even sleeping.
is how you shut down properly.

4. Select the profile you wish to edit. (Loud, Vibrate, Quiet, Normal (default), Phone Only, Off)
Note: on the 8100, 8800, and 8300 models: Do not click the trackball. Instead, click the menu key to the left of the trackball).
Note: The profile that is in use will say: (Active)
5. You will now see a list of all applications that can have a tone assigned (Browser, Calendar, Level 1 Messages, Messages ([email protected]), Messenger, MMS, Phone, SMS, Task ect..)

How to turn off this new sound?

This just started this week. I have not adjusted any settings for quite a while so I am pretty sure I did not do anything to cause it.
Since getting my Note 3 in October I use the voice method of inputting text for email and sms quite often. When starting a message where I want to voice inpput, I click the microphone button and speak what I want to send. Works well. Thursday the phone started making a loud, very annoying, beep type sound whenever I launch this by clicking the microphone. It happens even when the phone is in silent mode. I checked the sound options in the phone settings and everything is set as it has always been. All system and keyboard sounds are turned off. I also tried another keyboard app rather than the phone default and it is the same with that.
Does anyone have an idea why this started and how to silence it? Thanks!

Might try setting defaults by long pressing the microphone then the settings gear icon and then scroll down to Reset Settings. I haven't messed around with most of those settings and it works as desired with the beep only on when not in silent mode. I like the beep to be on personally because when I'm not able to look at the phone I know its ready to listen. Otherwise it doesn't beep if the global sound is turned off. I guess that might solve half the problem and of course you would have to set back your preferences that get reset. As for settings getting changed I know one thing is sometimes if I rotate the phone with the screen on and accidentally touch the screen at the same time then any number of random things can happen such that I'm considering turning off auto-rotate on turning down the screen sensitivity.

How do I turn off the new "Erase Data" feature

With 2.1, in Settings>General>Passcode Clock, there is the option to "Erase Data" which will "Erase all data on this iphone after 10 failed passcode attempts". Mine is set to "Yes", but is grayed out so I cannot turn it off.
How do I turn it off?
It is a cool feature, but my kids pick up my phone and try to use it all the time - it is only a matter of time before they try ten times and I'll be screwed.

Mine is set to on as well and greyed out.. Here is the catch. Im syncing to my companies exchange as well. For all our smart phones they request a mandatory pin and require a remote wipe after 10 failed attempts. Now if you think back to when you setup your exchange.. did it require you to put in a pin, and can your disable that pin if you wanted? if the answers are yes and no respectively then chances are your company does the same thing mine does and you would not be able to disable the erase data option unless you stop syncing to echange. Hope this was helpful..

How can I turn off the New Mail alert on my iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch (version 6.1.3). The other day I was waiting for an important e-mail, so I turned on the New Mail alert. It worked fine. Now I want to turn it off, but I can't. I went into Settings and then to Sounds and changed the selection from the sound I'd selected ("Bell") to None. It says "None" but every time I get a new e-mail, it still makes the bell sound.
I also tried going into Notifications and then to New Mail Sound and setting it to "None" but that didn't change anything
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Try removing the mail totally from your notifications center.
I have everything turned off and the banner set to none.

What is my iphone making a sound (like a turn on sound) when I turn it on....never happened before!!! How do I turn off this sound?

Not sure whats going on today...why is my Iphone making a sound when I turn it on...like a beep noise...it never happened before...how can I turn it off???

Does a Reset work? Mostly unlikely! [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
