How to turn off auto mounting of server on boot?

I've got an old MacPro that is running Mavericks but is having an issue where the finder constantly crashes and restarts. I think it may have to do with a an old server (an external Mac mini) that would mount when the MacPro booted up because I now get an error message telling me that the Mac Pro can no longer find that server (which makes sense as it is no longer there). If I leave the error window open and don't click 'ok', the Finder remains intact and the crash loop does not begin. If I click 'ok' in the server connection error window, the problems begin.
…So, where do I "turn off" this auto mounting of the old mac mini on boot? I've looked in my Login items in the system prefs and no such task is there, and I can no longer recall how i even set up this automount function.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

HT1918 how to turn off auto renew

how do i turn off auto renew?

iTunes Match subscription is what gets renewed by auto-renew.
If you don't have iTunes Match, there is nothing to renew.
ARe you talking about monthly iCloud storage charges? Manage those at Settings > iCloud > Buy More Storage.

Please tell me how to turn off auto renew in my itunes account for app subscriptions?

I see no option to turn off auto re-new in my account settings! all the app says is to avoid itunes account from being charged turn off auto re-new in account settings! ***! i do not see any option to do so!

If you subscribing to itunes match then you just need to turn it off.
Open the latest version of iTunes on your computer. You cannot subscribe to iTunes Match from an iOS device.
Choose Store > Turn OFF iTunes Match.
On the phone got to settings -itunes and app store- turn off itunes match.
If you are not subscribing to match, your questions does not really make sense to me and you may want to elaborate a bit, or maybe someone smarter then me will come alone.

How to turn off auto update in numbers?

G'day, working with a large spreadsheet... is there any way to turn off auto-update in Numbers?
cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
No. Numbers recalculates the whole table when any change is made to that table. The use of (multiple) header rows, header columns and footers rows exacerbates the issue. There is no way provided to shut off the auto-recalculation.
Feature enhancements requests (for future editions) may be made using the Provide Numbers Feedback item in the Numbers menu (or by clicking the link in this message).

Bridge CS6 How to turn off auto tone adjustment for the loupe?

Adobe Bridge CS6. 'Apply auto tone adjustments' is unchecked in Camera Raw Preferences. Yet every time I click on an image in the preview panel it does a tonal adjustment before it magnifies the image detail. I am viewing bracketed images and do not want any auto tone applied at any time while previewing images. How can I turn off all auto tone adjustment for the program - including the loupe. I never had this issue in a previous version. I'm on PC. Thanks for any help!

All 4 Default Image Settings are unchecked. Checking this further I have found this is only a visual issue in Bridge Preview. I have opened the same raw file before any adjustment had taken place (w/o using the loupe magnifier) in PS CS6 - and then again opened it after using the magnifier which did an auto contrast adjust on the image. Both files are the same in PS CS6. This is only a visual issue within Bridge (Master Collection CS6) on my Win7 64 bit machine. No issue with a standalone PS CS6 version on my XP 64 bit system.
There is no auto adjustment of the image until I use the loupe (magnifier tool).
Note my previous comment as to what happens when I use it. Thanks!
I have a feeling this is a bug. I have a Photography help group on fb and posed this question to them. I had mostly no issue responses but got this from another person. I checked after reading this and it is the same issue with me - this only happens with raw files, not jpeg. Here is his comment line.
Carl, I see what you mean, I have tried several adjustments to the preferences and none seem to work. The image automatically adjusts after a brief time. There does not seem to be any way to turn off the adjustment. I'm using Bridge CS 6 on a Mac. I don't think it has anything to do with camera calibration, but it only happens when using RAW files. I tried it on JPGs and TIFFs and it did not adjust the loupe image. Wonder what Adobe has to say
So - tThanks for any thoughts! So at least it's not going to be an editing issue - but it's a pain here. I use Bridge to edit my shoots and I often shoot bracketed images. While I cull images according to the histogram, I also do visual assessment and I can't have Bridge doing it's own thing on tonal adjustment.

How to turn off / disable a Coldfusion Server?

I have a Coldfusion MX 7 server running on a test machine.
This server is just for testing applications on the local machine
(of which I am the administrator of). At times I also use this same
machine to do 3D Rendering. When the Coldfusion server is running
it hogs a lot of precious RAM unecessarily. I count 7 services
running in the task manager related to the Coldfusion server.
How do I disable or turn off the Coldfusion server upon
bootup? Either set something so that it will not run at all upon
bootup, or be able to somehow shut the CF server down, so that no
services for it are running after booting up. In other words
sometimes I would like the CF server to run, other times I don't
want it running AT ALL. How can I do this? After searching the CF
docs I have come up with no answer..
Any help would be most appreciated!

Coldfusion runs as a service. You can manage them by going to
start > Administrative tools > Service (or by going to start
> run > services.msc). This will list all of the services
running on the system. There are several services that may be
running, depending on what type of installation you did. You can
either stop or disable these (by stopping, the service will start
again the next time you reboot; disabling prevents them from
starting on startup - this may still require you to stop the
service... if you disable you will have to re-enable the next time
you want to use CF).
Some of the services you may have to stop:
Macromedia CFMX
Macromedia JRun Cfusion Server
ColdFusion MX 7 ODBC Agent
ColdFusion MX 7 ODBC Server
ColdFusion MX 7 Search Server

How to turn off auto-complete in Keynote (tables) ?

Has anybody found a way to turn off (disable) auto-complete for cells in a table in Keynote ?
Occasionally I would prefer to work without the blinky yittery typing experience it creates.
It's not a live or death thing, but having an option to turn auto-complete off would make working with Keynote more pleasant.

Stefan,
For reasons unknown to me and beyond my ability to guess, KN lacks control of that feature. You could build your table in either Pages or Numbers, where autocompletion can but disabled in the General Preference Pane, and paste it into KN.

A How to turn off auto hide tools/panles

So Flash 9 has a new feature that is annoying me : it likes
to auto hide the tools/panels.
apparently Flash is turning this feature on at at random. I
realize that I must be accidentally hitting some hot key that turns
it on, but I can't find how to stop it. It's rather annoying.
How do I disable the auto-hide for the tools and panels?

Just go to settings, view, toolbars autohide.

How to turn off auto full screen

New FF turn into full screen [F11] by default
How can I turn this annoying thing off?

If you close Firefox while not in full screen mode then Firefox should store this choice as persistent data in the localstore.rdf file.
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

How to turn off IPV6 on Lion Server

I did a clean install of Lion Server on my Mac Mini. I need to enable the firewall on that machine.
My Mini is only connected via WiFi to the network.
Due to firewall / Networksoftware issues i would like to disable IPV6 on the Lion Server completely.
The menu however only shows entries for "Automatic, Manual or Link-Local". On a Lion install (no Server) there is also the "Off".
Is there any reason i cannot switch off IPV6? If i cannot switch it off how do i configure my firewall so my software no longer
tries to connect using IPv6. I assume IPV6 is chosen in the first place due to a mDNS running with IPV6 enabled as i only configure ipv4 stuff and have eliminated all ipv6 completely from all other os's.
thanks & regards
udo

I found a fix for this issue and applied it to several different MacBooks, iMac's, PowerMac's in the last couple of weeks. It works quite well and will now show or unlock the option of "Off" in the IPv6 section of GUI once these process is completed.
Click some place on the desktop
Click on the Go menu at the top of your screen
Click on Utilities
Inside the Utilities menu you will find the utility called Terminal
Open up Terminal
Depending if your account has admin privileges or the following will be different.
In the terminal window type in the following:
networksetup –listallnetworkservices (precede this command with su or sudo if you are not logged in as an admin of the MAC)
You will see a list of network services such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Firewire etc etc.
The next couple of commands will enable a new option in the GUI that will say Off under your Wi-Fi and Ethernet etc.
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet
networksetup –setv6off Wi-Fi
networksetup –setv6off FireWire
networksetup –setv6off 'Bluetooth PAN' (if you have this)
networksetup –setv6off 'VPN (PPTP)' (if you have this)
Close the terminal window and reboot your MAC
You will be all set and all IPV6 stuff will be disabled for your networking and you will also have the new option in the GUI to change it if you so choose to in the future.

Re: How to turn off auto ajustment brightness on Portege R830?

hello
i have R830-13D, windows 7 x64 utlimate.
the "problem" is auto change lcd backlight depends of content of screen
for example - when i set brightness level to 2 and read some newsites (white background, black text) - it's ok for me. then, i open another website with black background and yellow text - lcd backlight changing down so i have to manually change it up by Fn+F7 to level 3.
and so on - when i change tab in browser to "normal" website - white background/black text - backlight automatically going up (looks like sequentially growing up by 3-4 little steps) and i have to decrease it back to level 2.
i can see this "issue" both for toshiba display driver (download on support page) and for intel display driver.
how can i disable this feature? any idea?

sorry, i'm too much lazy to download manual :D
but i solve the problem
*at intel display panel - power tab - power source/battery - power conservation feature - display power saving technology - uncheck*
and now all is ok, predictable and wonderful :D
p.s. i've spent so much time to discover it because by default "power source" selected for "plugged in" and there are no additional settings - the settings appears only for "battery" option.
hope this topic canhelp someone else :)

Pages: how do I turn off auto formatting and auto indenting!

I've got Pages 5.2.2 and for the life of me can't figure out how to turn off auto formatting!
When I hit return to move text to a new line, Pages automatically indents the new line, creating a new paragraph which is not what I want at all.
I'm using a blank template and have not altered the default settings at all. Any geniuses out there who can help?

If not already present, turn on your document rulers via View > Show Rulers. Does a ¯ symbol appear by itself, or is it accompanied by an inverted triangle below it? The first symbol indicates that you have a First Indent set to other than 0. The inverted triangle says that you also have the Left indent set to the First indent amount.
In Pages, if a First indent is set, any hard return will invoke a new paragraph with an auto-indent corresponding to the First Indent amount. First lines will be indented, and subsequent lines are flush left margin (unless Left indent is not 0). In word processing, we only do hard returns when we deliberately want a new paragraph. If you want to force an end of a sentence, without forming a new paragraph, with/out auto-indent effect, use either shift+enter, or control+enter.
The First, and Left indent settings in Pages v5.2.2 are here:
Toolbar > Format > Text > Layout
