Stop camera from mounting with 2 users logged in

My wife and I share a computer and we are usually both logged in using Switch User in gnome. She takes all the pictures in the family, but when she plugs in the camera it won't let her do anything with it, it says it is busy. Switch back to my desktop and there it is. Is there a way to keep my account from mounting it so that she can use the camera? I don't like to log out of mine, I run ps3 media server on it, and we watch a lot of movies with it on the Playstation so logging out is kind of a pain because it stops this.

Is it any one user or just Main that works correctly. If it is just Main, is there anything in the other users' login items that may be causing it to not sleep?
You can try looking in the Console for messages about sleep. Type sleep into the search field and see if anything is preventing sleep.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Stop Firefox from remembering my user names

How do I stop Firefox from remembering my user names? I know about how to turn off the password remembering but that doesn't stop it from remembering my user names. The only way i know of to stop it is to clear my history. I don't want to keep doing that every time I close firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when it was installed

Disabling that setting will prevent Firefox from remembering new names, but the old names are still saved.
You will have to remove names via [[Clear Recent History]].

How can I print from my iPhone or iPad to a Ricoh printer with User Log Codes turned on?

Our company recently purchased a Ricoh printer and implemented the User Log Code feature to track whos printing and how much. Our biggest problem is that no apps we can locate allow for log code input and therefore no mobile devices can print. Is there any work around for this? Any app that allows the input of log codes?
Thank you!

That's way beyond the scope of this forum. There are, though, print server monitors that would allow you to track printing from workstations on your network that are not connecting directly to the printer via WiFi.

Stopping video from syncing with iTunes

A frequently asked question is: How do I stop video content from being synced from my Apple TV to my iTunes? As soon as someone asks that, some frequent posters respond: Why in the world would you want to do that? Your video won’t be backed up, etc. etc. (And by the way, you can't stop it from syncing.) Here’s why we want to do that:
A large number of Apple TV users download their video content directly to the Apple TV from the iTunes Store – Jobs announced that feature last winter, and Apple prominently markets it. Many of us don’t want to keep that video permanently, since it’s either rented movies or TV episodes we’ll never watch again. So we have no need to backup that content to our iTunes.
But if we also have music and photos to watch on the Apple TV, there aren’t any good options:
* Stream music and photos to the Apple TV: Photos are slow to stream, and often I have my laptop with iTunes out of the house when my wife wants to watch or listen. (We have a wireless g network with typical average transfer speeds of 8 – 10 Mbs, so streaming a 5 MB high-resolution photo from a 12 MP camera takes 3 – 5 seconds seconds, which is an eternity when you’re looking at family snapshots.)
* Sync video, music, and photos with iTunes: The videos hog space on the laptop’s hard drive, and more importantly, syncing hogs network bandwidth for 10 – 30 minutes for each TV episode (longer for movies). The video can be stored on an external drive, but that’s extra money and an annoying hassle to keep iTunes video on the external drive and music and photos on the internal drive (so they can travel with the laptop).
So here’s what I end up doing: When I start iTunes, if it starts syncing video with the Apple TV, I immediately cancel it. Usually, we’ll watch and delete that video from the Apple TV soon enough. But occasionally there’s a movie or TV episode on the Apple TV we haven’t watched yet, and I want to sync new photos or music with the Apple TV immediately. So I’m forced to wait for the video to sync with my iTunes before it will sync the photos (despite selecting the option “Sync photos before other media”). At that point, I have to remember to delete the video from my iTunes, but only after we watch it (Apple TV won’t let you delete a synced video). (Yes, I know I can go into Windows Explorer and delete the actual file and delete the dangling link from iTunes later, but that’s even more annoyance.)
This is all pretty clumsy for a consumer product. It would be trivial for Apple to add an option to iTunes that would prevent video from being synced to iTunes, and it would better support a very common use-case.

While holding down the Command + Option keys and connect your iPod. Wait until the iPod appears in iTunes before you let go of the keys. This will stop the iPod from doing an auto sync.
Once in iTunes you will have to restore your iPod by clicking on the Restore button. Once restored you will then have to sync your content back onto the iPod.

How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
Thanks!

I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...
/Users/bd/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.DotMacSync
I'd try dragging the whole folder, if it exists...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
to the Desktop & reboot, we can always move it back if need be.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist
are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.
We might even have to go in and Copy this to the Desktop then Trash the originl...

How to stop Windows from mounting a usb fat32 flash drive

Here's the problem. I have 4 identical Sandisk Cruiser 32GB flash drives. Windows has never mounted these drives in the past, until several months ago. Now Windows is mounting 2 of these drives but not the other 2. When the drives get mounted I end
up with about 5GB of files being added to each drive because they now show System Volume Information and the Recycle Bin. The amount of data added varies depending on the system I plug up to. On one Win 7 machine it can add up to 10+ GB. I would like to
be able to use the entire space for my backups but am unable to. These two drives are only used for Music and Videos. Is there a way to stop these two drives from being mounted in windows systems?
Thanks, Bill

Sorry but my figures are not exaggerated. Right now on this machine "System Volume Information" is showing as 3.2 GB and "Recycle Bin" is showing as 2.9 GB. I don't own these computers I use so I can't make changes to them such
as emptying the recycle bin. I only use portable applications from my flash drives on friends systems. By windows loading these two folders to my flash drives it it effectively stopping me from being able to use all the space.
Now as I mentioned in the first post, windows is only loading the SysVolInfo and recycle bin folders to 2 of the 4 drives. I am able to use ChkDsk on the two drives that are unaffected by windows but not on the other two. I get the message that windows
can't check the volume while it is in use and would I like to check it at startup. This always fails because, I think, These computers do not recognize the usb drives until windows is loaded. I have a work around for this in a utility that will unmount the
two drives and run ChkDsk and then remount them.
This doesn't answer the question though as to why all of a sudden this is happening to 2 of the 4 drives? And on several different machines? Windows does assign a drive letter to all 4 drives as it always has however the 2 drives without the system
folders are able to be scanned in windows without unmounting them.
I would really appreciate any insight into this behavior I could get.
Thanks, Bill

Stopping Leopard from mounting volumes it finds on the network

How do I stop Leopard from going out and mounting volumes it finds on the network without my requesting that server be mounted?
The network at work, is a rather slow, cumbersome, poorly linked network and mounting these volumes, which I do not want, is slowing down everything.
10.4 did not do this.

I am having the same problem. There seem to be some kind of hidden links to my network drive, which want to connect from time to time. I am not able to find the respective files.
Is there anyway to find the files and/or the reason why it wants to connect?

Cols getting added to Table:With user log-ins

Hi,
I have a table in Oracle 11g database for application reporting purpose, as per design whenever a specific user log-ins, columns gets added in the table
and its growing col wise.
Is there any better way to handel that?Pls suggest.
Regards

Hi,
You have specified that what is happening in your current application. But you have not specified what actually you are looking for. As other forums members stated you must follow them, Since over a period of time or in weeks your application will since you can extend columns for same table - since there exists some limit for that.
So, If I analyze your requirement you would like to peform the auditing of the use logins. Then what logic you have implemented try to modify a little bit , instead of dynamically adding the columns - insert the rows in to the table.
That way you can figure out, when and what time specific users are logged in - making history for your users login session times.
Note - Try to elaborate your requirement / problems, other it is little difficult for us to understand.

How can I stop iPhoto from Mounting Iphone?

Every time I dock my iPhone, iPhoto automatically mounts the phone if photos are contained on it, and offers to import the photos into its library. This is rather maddening. I've searched a bit, but no luck. Any helpful hints welcome.

Launch the Image Capture application in your Applications folder.
At the menu bar, go to Image Capture > Preferences.
Under the General tab below Camera at When a camera is connected, open:, select No application and then OK.
iPhoto will not automatically launch when ANY digital camera is connected.
If you import the photos taken by the iPhone into iPhoto and then delete the photos from the iPhone when finished, iPhoto won't launch automatically - it launches automatically when the iPhone or any digital camera is connected to your computer that contains photos.
You can then transfer these photos to the iPhone in an iPhoto Album via the iTunes sync process. If you haven't imported these photos to iPhoto, you really want to or at least transfer them to your computer without deleting them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone if you like. If something goes wrong with your iPhone and these photos have not been transferred to your computer in some fashion, you run the risk of these photos being lost.

How do I stop Pages from opening when I log back in? Login items are not ticked.

Prior to Yosemite I had trouble with Pages where it closed down the app when I closed a document.
I was given a command line to put in the 'Terminal' to deactivate Pages. This worked.
That command was - -g NSDisableAutomaticTermination -bool TRUE/False. But that isn't recognised any longer when I reverse the True/False.
But I now don't want Pages to open automatically when I Log in.
The box is not ticked for Pages in System Preferences- Users- Login Items.

It needs to be removed from the list, not just unticked.

How to stop Safari from freezing with Maverick??

I updated my late 2009 IMac with Maverick in late December. It continues to get hung up in Safari after 2-3 webpages. I have used Glims Unistall over and over again as suggested in numerous posts to no avail I continue to get a frozen page in Safari. I shut down, empty caches, reset Safari and nothing seems to work. Wondering if Apple is going to have a permanent fix for this problem. I don't think I am the only one.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How do I stop files from downloading with the itunes symbol?

Yes, I'm trying to download something to without it automatically using itunes as default or the itunes symbol.
I have gone to tools>options>applications and that doesn't seem to work. Even when it asks me what program to use and I choose winzip the download is STILL itunes.
Very very... very frustrated that i cannot even seem to do such a basic thing as change my default download options. I was able to in previous firefox versions but do not recall what i did, or maybe it has changed in newer versions and I am not any longer able to for some reason?
Tbh because I purchase and download quite a bit of music and other different files online this may prove to be a deal breaker and I am considering for the first time since Netscape recommended I use firefox changing to chrome or microsoft explorer or whatever the other browswers are.
Please if you could help me out I would appreciate it immensely.
Thank you for you time.
Regards,
