A way to turn the software "off" when not in use.

JUSTIFICATION :
Java software is not compatible with Solomon (my company's time card/financial system). I have to literally install the software everytime I use usps.com, and want to print out a shipping label, for instance, and then uninstall Java again. This happens a few times a year...about every 1-2 months or so. Very tedious. Any advice?

Your company software probably has a bug and definitely wasn't tested enough.
If nothing else and you are a developer then just ask for another computer.

How to turn the airport off when not in use

My airport network is currently running 24/7. I'm away from home a large part of the day. Is there a way to disable it, and then re-enable w/o unplugging it from the wall?
Thanks.

Home Depot and Lowes have simple electronic timers that plug into the AC socket that will allow you to set auto ON/OFF times. The Express would plug right into the device.

HT201365 I just updated to ios 7 on my iPhone 4 how do you turn the apps off when your not using them? The old way of double clicking and then pressing the app until a red minus button comes doesn't work it opens it back up!?

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

I have my TC in my Bedroom, So the light can be bright. Is there any way to turn the light off?

The light cannot be turned off, but if you stop by at the office supply store and get a sheet of small 1/2" white routnd labels, you can place a few over the light to dim it significantly. Add more labels as needed to adjust for the brightness level you want to achieve.
Of course, you could use a piece of tape, but the white labels look much nicer and won't be noticeable once you get 4-5 feet away from the device.

Should Wireless Router be turned off when not in use?

I successfully installed the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router Model WRT54G. It was very easy.
I notice that it now appears to be "on" all the time, and I use my home PC & Laptop perhaps up to about only 2 hours a day. Should I be turning it off when not in use? Is it a potential security risk to always have it on? If I do turn it off, is the only way to unplug the power adapter? I can not locate any on/off button on the router.
Thanks,
Adam

You said your router was "very easy" to set up. I hope that this does not mean that you skipped setting up security. If your wireless router is not secured, having it on or using it is a security risk. If your router is secured, then it is OK to leave it on 24/7.
If your wireless is not secured, anyone in the area can log into your router and use your DSL line. At a minimum, this wastes your bandwidth. At a maximum, someone could send spam, visit child porn sites, distribute viruses, and give away copyrighted music --- all from a DSL account with your name on it!    Additionally, if your router is not secured, others can see what you are doing on the net, including seeing your bank account numbers, passwords, and credit card numbers. So my advice is ... secure your system.
In order to keep intruders off of your wireless system, you need to enable wireless security. To do this, pick an SSID and don't broadcast it. Encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor  (see note below)
WPA - good
WPA2 - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise".   Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES.
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and passwords that match those you entered in the router.
For additional security, on many routers, you can limit wireless access to just the MAC addresses of the wireless devices that you own. If possible, you should definitely use this feature.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Also, when you pick your login password, SSID, and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers. An SSID, or a login password, should be 12 characters or more.  WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 32 characters.
Note below: Recently the FBI demonstrated that WEP can be broken in under 5 minutes using standard, internet available, cracking tools. This suggests that virtually all wireless users should upgrade their wireless equipment to WPA or better.

Apple TV powers off when not in use

My Apple TV turns off when not in use and needs to be rebooted by unplugging device to "wake" it up How do I avoid this?

All ATVs go into sleep mode when not in use.
Simply pressing the power button on the remote should wake the device up, is that not occurring?

The power saving will be negligible, and it may take time to re-establish a connection to your ISP's Network.

HP Officejet 6500a Should I turn it off when not in use?

Is it better too turn off the printer when not in use for short periods say 2-4 hours? or days? (the manual does not explain this adequately) Thanks

Hi,
I normally turn my printers off to save few cents of electricity. No point to keep printers on unless you are having/doing business (expecting fax or something). Even at work, for a long weekend, we always turn our printers off.
Regards.

Switch off when not in use or standby?

I dont have an ATV yet, but have lots of questions!
When not being used, is the ATV to be left in standby (consuming what I hope is just a small amount of electricity) or can the power be turned off at the wall socket? Does it lose any settings if I do this? I only have time to watch TV at weekends.

There is a stand by mode but it isn't a very low power mode, if you only use the tv at weekends, I would unplug it in between. I'd usually say don't be unplugging it regularly, but I don't believe once a week is. Personally I'd leave the unit in stand by on Saturday night though.

HT4381 apple tv, does the light stay on all the time, or is there a way to turn off the apple tv when not in use?

the light on the apple tv stay on all the time? is there a way to turn it off or put it on stand by?

No, it doesn't need to stay on all the time. You can leave it on if you want, since it uses little power, or you can go into settings and select sleep. You can also use the remote to achieve this (hold the select button for 5 secs)

Iphone 3GS was dropped and will not turn on or respond to USB connection. Is there any way to extract the data off when it is not responding so that I can restore to my new phone?

The phone is physically intact, but you can see the LCD is cracked behond the glass. I have tried plugging it in, tried putting it on the charger, and resetting it using the off and home buttons, bit response. I don't need the phone to work, but I do need to be bale to back it up in order to restore to the new phone. Is there any way to extract the data or back up the hard drive without repairing the phone? Just curious what my options are before I spend cash trying to fix the phone and find out there was another way to get the data. Any thoughts here or should a good repair shop being able to create a backup somehow?

Im not going to be much help because I don't know of anything else to besides take it somewhere that fixes electronics and see if they can get it off some how maybe if you take it to an apple store they can do something to get your information.

Turning the Sound off when clicking on a book

I have published a document (in Robohelp6) and when you click
on the book (in the left hand table to contents) it plays a sound.
I didn't design it to play a sound, but it does. How do I remove
it? I looked in properties but it shows no sounds attached to the
file.
(and yes I know that I can just turn my speakers off, but the
users want their speakers on - )
HELP

While I never heard of this happening with CHM files, I
suspect Colum has hit this one. It may vary from user to user
though based on their settings and OS. We configured our software
to do this years ago and there is no setting in the software
itself.
One question first. Does it happen with all help files or
just yours?
From your Windows control panel, select Sounds and Audio
devices. Click on the Sounds tab. There should be a list of
"Program events:" that trigger sounds. See if you can find the help
call and turn it off. If that is where it is, you may have no
control over it because it might be the way the operating system
was set up.
Hope this helps.
John

How Can Turn the Sound off When Leaving a Slide?

I have a slide with an FLV in it but the audio stays on when
I leave the slide. How do I fix that?
THX

You can't turn off the screen as such, but there are ways of playing the audio only from a movie.
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and set it to "on". I think that works.
Or, you can access the video via the audio/music menu. For instance, if you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you won't be able to see the video but you will hear the audio track.
