Is there a way to prevent MacBook Air to go to sleep when using Spotify?

I have a Macbook Air with the latest version of Maverics and I often listen to music on it, via airplay and headphones. This works great, but when I'm not using the computer for anything else but spotify it goes to sleep after the specified time and I loose the sound. I wonder whether there is way to adjust the settings so that only certain programs like Spotify can prevent my Mac from going to sleep when they are active.
Thanks a bunch!

You can upgrade the SSD on a 2012 MacBook Air using the following: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Air-Retina/Apple-MacBook-Air-2012-Drive-I nternal-Flash

Is there a way to prevent DPS from going to next article when using swipe left/swipe right?

I have placed web content in an article in Indesign with swipe left and swipe right function and it works just fine except for one thing. When swiping the animation starts but it also goes to the next/previous article in the folio. Is there a way to fix this?

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

Any way to prevent macbook air from sleeping when lid closed?

I believe there is no way to keep your macbook/air running when you shut the lid.
I am running a background job where I am downloading a huge amount of data from the internet, which is coming through slowly (other applications could be where I am running a web server....). I want the machine to be running, but not keep the lid open - since I might want to move the laptop, not leave the screen/keyboard exposed.
Where can I request Apple to add support for this behavior? Or did they anticipate this request in Mountain Lion already?
Any suggestions? Others who would like the same feature?

NoSleep makes closing of your MacBook lid possible without going into sleep mode. Now you shouldn't plug your mouse and monitor to stay computer awake - just check a tick in the System Preferences and continue downloading of huge files and watching favorite movies over the network with lid closed.

Is there a way to prevent the "task id" from changing automatically when a task is moved or inserted?

When moving a task in Project 2010 I've found task IDs also change. This is not the desired result. If a task is moved for whatever reason the task ID should not change. It should be consistent to the task. For example, I've created
a new project with five tasks as shown on the left below.
I've numbered the tasks to coincide with the task ID as originally created. If I move Task 4 to be after Task 1 the moved task and all subsequent tasks are renumbered as shown on the right below.
This is not the desired result. The expectation is the task ID is unique to the task when the task is created. It should never change after the fact. I view the task ID as the identity field for the task. In database terms this means
it NEVER EVER arbitrarily changes.
A similar problem occurs if a task is inserted between two tasks. If I insert task 6 after task 2 the task IDs are renumbered as shown.
Again, the task ID should never have been arbitrarily changed. This creates a referencing problem because task 6 should have had the next available higher task ID which should have been 6 and all the tasks after task 6 would not have been renumbered.
The only work around to this behavior is to create a custom number field called "Task ID" and manually assign numbers to each task. This makes referencing the tasks easy when communicating with team members. Using the built-in task
id as a reference risks the task ID being lost at any point and confusion for team members.
Is there a way to turn-off task ID renumbering when a task is moved or inserted?
Ideally any inserted task should be the next higher available task ID.
Thanks

Hi,
not sure where to find original post. In RDB, it is MSP_EpmTask_UserView.TaskClientUniqueId.
Sorry, if there are now 2 answers.

Is there any way to prevent my SSIS Tasks from reformatting themselves when I want to change the Name

So all my tasks are nicely laid out in my SSIS Package. Now I want to go add a blurb to the Name to make it a little more descriptive. When I do that, Microsoft Visual Studio just automatically re-sizes the task so the entire description, name fits. When
I make it the right size, my scripting name is wrapping and that's the way I want it to look within my Package. Is there any way to stop Microsoft Visual Studio from automagically adjusting the size of my task when I click on the Name to edit?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

There is no way. The designer canvas received improvements in SSIS ver 2012, but this specific aspect remain unchanged.
What I do I simply use the Format -> Autolayout -> Diagram or you can also/instead Ctrl-A to select all and choose "make same size"

Is there a way to prevent store from going back to beginning when browsing aps

I'm on an ipad2. When I browse a category in the app store and find something I would like to know more about, I tap on it and it brings me to the detailed page. After viewing the information I want to go back to the list of apps. When I do it takes me back to the beginning of the category at app number one, I then have to go thru. Page after page to get back to where I was previously, if I'm on app 556 of 3456. You can see that it would take a while. Is there a way I'm missing to take me back to where I left off?

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

Is there a way to force "desktop view" on my iPad 1 when using Safari?

Google, in their control frenzy, has now changed iGoogle to default to Tablet view on iPads. Why??? Here is one solution but it does not use Safari:
Question:
Is there a secret to getting the old igoogle homepage back, or is it gone for good on the iPad 2? I still have the homepage on my Mac, so the problem is just with the iPad. Any help anybody can give to get the home page back would be greatly appreciated.
Answer:This issue is with the Tablet view. You can switch to Classic view at the bottom, but as soon as you type anything in the url bar you get reverted to Tablet. I have the Atomic Browser installed on my iPad and have set it to identify itself as a desktop. iGoogle loads fine on that. I am not aware of any such setting for Safari on the iPad.
Google fails to understand that we do not need sub featured pages for our tablets. Tablets work fine with the desktop versions. They have probably concluded that iGoogle pages are too busy for tablets and so have disabled it. Tablet search has been significantly degraded by Goggle with elimination of the pinch and zoom and cached features. It should be possible to make a sticky setting change to Classic view on tablets. Most other settings stick, but not the Classic view. I dont think Google get it anymore.
Is there a way to force Safari ,on an iPad, to do this?

The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

Is there a way to keep all the music on my ipod when using a new computer

i want to keep all my music but when i go to sync my ipod to my new computer itunes says it will erase all my music. I dont want to lose 600 songs

Try this way:
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Saving data to a computer before setting it up again is also explained here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

In Mail, is there any way to prevent the ampersand 20 symbol in downloaded attachments?

Long title, but as it suggests, every time I download an attachment in Mail that has a space in the title, Mail puts in %20 to replace the space (ascii symbol for space). I'd like to prevent this and have attachments stored under the name they are sent. Any way to do this?

Powerbutton makes my Macbook Air go straight to sleep

Since i updated to Mavericks my Macbook Air goes straight to sleep when i push the power button. That is REALLY annoying because it breaks up my internet connection everytime.
If i want to go to sleep mode i just close my Macbook. Why would anyone need 2 options to go to sleep mode?
How can i fix this?

I'm pretty sure it's screen off, at least for mine when I tested it.
Agree with you that Apple could have make it "less sensative". Maybe use it as a boss/privacy key
I did a continuous ping and in the middle of it, pressed the power button ... screen turns off. Then a couple of seconds later, pressed it again and screen turns on. There was no interuption to the ping test.
