Active Screen Corner Disable

Hi,
I am developing a Java program which needs Kiosk mode, I have implemented this http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2062.html , it works fine except "Active Screen Corners", suppose if I configure my top left corner through "Active Screen Corners" in the System Preferences->Dashboard & Expose to show my Desktop, even in the Kiosk mode if I move my mouse to the top left corner of the screen it goes to my desktop its because of the Active Screen Corners, Is there any way we can disable active screen corners in MAC.
Regards
Aravind

John,
Thanks, that makes much more sense i was thinking it was to disable the screen saver if it was in use. I figured if they had that option there was a way to lock the screen saver from kicking out after mouse movement.
Thanks again for the assistance.

  • Active screen corner + incorrect password results in hibernation, help!

    I've got the right top (active) screen corner set to sleep my display.
    And only recently noticed that, if after using that i try to move mouse or press any key it would ask me for password, which is OK, but the problem is that if after entering incorrect password 3 times (happens , it would hibernate my mac for some reason.
    I am not observing the same behavior if I just let the system unattended and screen saver kicks in, and then screen goes blank, or even if I lock the screen directly from keychain access.
    In both these scenarios my system is not being hibernated if I made a typo 3 times in my password, so it only happens while using active screen corner.
    Any idea how to get around this annoyance?

    Sorry,sorry,sorry,folks.
    Problem solved.I was just moving my cursor to the corner area of the screen.You have to go virtually off the screen corner to activate this.
    Time for a coffee.

  • Active Screen Corner Customization with added hot keys fails

    Active Screen Corner Customization with added hot keys fails upon restart. So, if my lower left corner is set to activate the screen saver it works. If I add the command key to that operation it works unit I restart the machine than the hot key requirement vanishes, i.e. the screen saver works but not with the required hot key requirement. The system seems to forget all about the hot key association/requirement after restart. Dumping the file below did not change the situation.
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.plist

    You might want to try deleting the screen saver preference/plist - look in your home directory:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.plist

  • HT201407 Per the "Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock" instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate.

    Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

    Anybody can help? My Carrier is o2 Germany.

  • I phone home screen says disabled and emergency calls only as i have forgot passcode

    i phone home screen says disabled and emergency calls only as i have forgot passcode
    cannot reset through itunes

    Restore the device.
    If "Find My iPhone" is activated on the device, wipe the device via iCloud.com and then restore it.

  • Active screen corners suddenly quits for no reason

    Friends,
    Active screen corners sometimes suddenly quits on me for no reason. I'm breezing along, doing my thing and periodically moving the mouse to one corner to "show desktop" or another to show "all windows." Suddenly, moving the mouse to the corner does nothing. I can't predict when this will occur. Restarting solves the problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Are you using an external monitor, but not all the time? I get the exact same behavior sometimes when I disconnect my MacBook Pro from my external monitor and then try to activate Expose using active screen corners. It simply doesn't work. However, if I restart, everything works just fine because Leopard recognizes my laptop screen as the primary display. Seems like a bug to me, but I'm not sure. I'd like to hear from others who may know more about the issue.

  • Activation screen and asks the previous owner's Apple ID and password

    Hello
    case 45548
    I have a problem with the activation of my iPhone 4S. I bought an iPhone in the store half a year ago used as a simple phone And then about a week ago I updated the IOS 7.0.4. After updating the iPhone has activation screen and asks the previous owner's Apple ID and password I do not know of any Apple ID or password, I had no contact with him. I can not use my iPhone for a week. I am so disappointed with this situation. Can you help me to disable this feature, please?

    У меня есть проблема с активацией моих IPhone 4S. Я купил iPhone в магазине полгода назад использоваться как простой телефон, а затем около недели назад я обновил IOS 7.0.4. После обновления iPhone имеет экран активации и просит предыдущего владельца Apple ID и пароль, я не знаю любого идентификатора Apple, или пароль, у меня не было никаких контактов с ним. Я не могу использовать мой iPhone в течение недели. Я так разочарован с этой ситуацией. Вы можете мне помочь, чтобы отключить эту функцию, пожалуйста?

  • Enterprise Activation screen pops up when unlocking device...

    This has started happening to around 6 of my users. When they are unlocking their 8900's the Enterprise Activation screen pops up (with no information filled in) We run BES5.0 and these devices have been activated for atleast 12 months. No changers have been made to the server or policies in over a month. Has anyone else experienced this? Obviously all they have to do is close it, but then it comes back next time they unlock the device. Thanks, Edd...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just found this over at blackberryforums, it seems a reactivation of the device would appear to solve the issue...I'll give it a try later today if I have time, TGIF!

  • Exposé active screen corners - keyboard shortcuts disappear

    I use e.g. the command key shortcut for activating the active screen corners (in order to avoid that they are activated when the mouse pointer is accidentally placed in one of the screen corners). It works fine and ...then one day the command key setting disappears from the settings. The active screen corners do continue to work, but simply by moving the pointer to a corner without pressing the command key. Very frustrating. What's wrong?

    Simply go into System Preferences > Expose & Spaces.
    Select the dropdown for the appropriate corner, press the keys you want (cmd alt ctrl & shift are possible.)
    Then select the action and let go.

  • Iphone 3GS stuck on Activation screen

    I tried to restore my iphone to factory settings and now I am stuck at the activation screen. The message reads"Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation Server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iphone to iTunes to activate or try again in a couple of minutes". I am going on 3 days now. The phone is connected to my computer. Itunes is open but there is no indication that the iphone is connected. Apple support told me via email to uninstall itunes and re-install it. I did but the result is the same. When I try to restore/activate it appears to process and the following mesage appears" It may take up to 3 minutes to activate your iphone" but after the time expires it goes right back to the message above. When I hold down the home button, Emergency Call, Start Over, WiFi Settings and Cancel buttens appear. Nothing else works with or without the SIm card removed. Currently only my Wifi connection seems to register. can you help?

    First, try disabling your antivirus and firewall, then try again. If that fails:
    Open the hosts file on your computer and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com.
    Windows - c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Mac - /etc/hosts
    It is a hidden file, so you will have to view hidden files to see it.

  • TS3694 i factory unlock my iphone 3gs and was on ios 6.1.2 and updatednit to 6.1.3 with itunes and the phone got lock again at activation screen. i try downgrading to 4.1 with baseband 5.13.04 and want to upgrade back to 6.1.2. pls help me

    i factory unlock my iphone 3gs and was on ios 6.1.2 and updatednit to 6.1.3 with itunes and the phone got lock again at activation screen. i try downgrading to 4.1 with baseband 5.13.04 and want to upgrade back to 6.1.2. pls help me

    Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

  • Iphone I cloud activation screen (forgot apple id & password)

    I shouldn't even be making this post, but i'm so frustrated. I'l do a quick summary so that I get you guys and girls up to speed on my problem.
    1. Was updating phone, random error happened and the phone needed to be backed up by itunes, the phone restarted and I was stuck at the activation screen.
    2. Was ****** off, logged in a few times got an error, until I finally discovered another email adress k********@hotmail.com. By this point I was utterly and completely confused.
    3. I got more ****** off, and I called apple. I found my phone box and gave IEMI(not sure if correct spelling) number and I told them I could provide serial number and so on and so fourth as I am the original owner.
    4. They told me I needed to send a copy of my reciept. I did not have one, so I had to travel all the way to the store and get a digital copy and send it to them. I sent it to them at around 15.00 (which is 3pm)
    5. A few hours went by and I tryed to think back to when I created my Icloud/activation I must have just wanted to use the phone so bad that I typed in whatever not thinking it would bite me in the *** 2 years later.
    6. One day has passed and I got a job interview later today, I need my phone to pay my bills, send money where money should be sent. I feel so stranded without a phone. I was using it for everything music in the gym etc etc.
    How hard can it be to find an apple id? If I give somebody all the correct information, name. reciept, serial number, IEMI(not sure if spelled correctly) eventhough it was my fualt originally, bt the sheer speed of me giving them all the correct information was astounding, it took me about an hour or so to gather everything. I just want to be serviced with the same speed. I have the number for an higher up guy in the support who is handling my "case" personally and I will call him later, in an hour or two.
    I wasn't even going to make this post, but after wanting to logg in with my apple id and cruise the forum.I got prompted to pick a user name. After that  I got the error message somebody is already using that email. When being logged in to _MY_ _OWN_ account. Just the sheer incompitence of the security... it's like it's backfiring on it self.

  • How do i contact or give the request to the seller if my ipad is in active screen?

    i bough an ipad mini from a person (2nd bough the ipad), when he give me the ipad mini has fw 7.0.4 and didnt have icloud or appstore id, but when i bring it home, i try to reset all settings and it ask me pin code (i ask the 2nd user and he said he didnt know), so i try to restore it again and it gonna ask me id t****@gmail.com to active. i come back to the 2nd seller and after i try to talk him with the angry mood, he said he bought it from another person (1 user) some month ago and he didn't know where he go (stay at the hotel when the 2nd seller bought it), and said the pin code (nothing to do or no where to press it now), aslo ask why i reset it so it was like that and refuse to give my money back. Now i want to contact to the 1rst seller to ask him remove my device from the icloud but i don't know his mail id to contact (t****@gmail.com), why apple dont just wrote the long address id of the user icloud, so someone like me or everyone else just have the active screen can contact. they said they can't have but need to find the orginal user but they didn't want to give my mail/cell phone number to the orginal user or give me his email address, my money is trash and ipad is brick now.. i can't take back my money from the 2nd cause he said i was make it to a brick.. :-<.
    My ipad is not in black list, not stolen. i work for 2 months to buy for my little siter and now there is nothing i cant do, just wait for apple has someway to give my mail to the user or give me his mail...
    already chat with the apple support but nothing the supporter can do :-<

    and i also reply from this thread, hater gonna hate but someone bough it with money is not those fault, i just want to contact the owner to talk about the device.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749325#23749325
    didnt like everyone has enough money to buy a new one, or just for kid, new one is expansive in some contry.
    Is there anyway to contact the orignal owner when the email like ******@gmail :-<..
    contact the police help nothing in some country cause they just don't care and dont know, so u lost ur money for nothing if u can't contact the owner..
    those who lost the divice is just as those who lost the money buy the device with lock, so why u hate all those who buy device with lock but not stolen, nothing is impossible, rite?
    In my case, i just contact the owner to ask him remove the device or pay more for the account if those device is not stolen, that's all.

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
