Any way to disable Pulseaudio from changing the master channel volume?

I'm aware that this is part of how PA works, I wanted to know if anyone knows how to make it work just like ALSA without PA, where the individual app volume sliders do not alter the master volume if they get any higher than it.
I'm using KMix under KDE 4.10.
And ditching PulseAudio is not an option.
PS: English is not my first language and I'm sleepy, let me know if you need me to rephrase anything.

Is their any way to restrict user from overriding the graphs in SAP APO?

Dear All,
As we know, we can copy the graphs to other users using /n/sapapo/sdp_graph. But is their any way to restrict user from overriding the graph to particular user.
Scenarios:
In a project we have super user and semi-super user, whenever super user uses above t-code to copy graph to all users (he has included semi-super user id to target user list) but semi-super user does not want to override his graph by super user.
Do we have such function in APO to restrict?
Hope it is clear to understand.

Pravin Tikar

Hi Amol,
thanks,
I have checked SP Note 400434 - Authorizations in APO demand planning Also.
Will check the authorization and will update the same.

Is there a way to prevent users from changing the Advanced, Connection, Settings Tab?

I need to stop network users from changing the proxy settings to avoid the firewall. Is there any way to disable or prevent them from getting to the advanced, connections tab, and changing the settings for the proxy?

You can lock the corresponding prefs, then users won't be able to change the settings.

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Is there any way to disable Picture Frame on the slide to unlock screen?

I don't want the photo button on the slide to unlock screens, their doesn't seem to be a way to disable this.

Yes I'm sure that Apple knows about this.
You can disable Picture Frame if you use a Passcode on the iPad. Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Picture Frame>Off.
If you don't use a Passcode, you can select the album of photos that you do not mind sharing in Settings>Picture Frame>Albums.

Is there any way to disable electric whining on the 2011 Macbooks Pro, when scrolling in Firefox and opening new tabs?

This happens only in Firefox w/o addons; under Mac OS X 10.6.7

To specify the issue: A high-frequency noise can be heard coming from the left upper side of the Macbook (from beneath the 1 key). It can only be heard when scrolling and opening new tabs in firefox and is not influenced by the volume level and muting.

Is there any way to disable or not allow the private browsing function on Firefox for Mac?

I have 3 young preteen/teenage sons who use our family iMac as their computer. Even though I have a filter on the router to prevent them from getting into trouble, I occasionally check their browsing history just to see when/where they are browsing. On a couple of instances, there has been no history shown for certain websites I know they have visited (per the router report), so I am wondering whether they have activated private browsing to cover their tracks, and if there is parental control function to disable the Private Browsing feature in Firefox.

Thanks Rick for your Quick replay,
As my consultant told me , They will get lot of approval messages so we have to make only one inbox message for approval.
When they select Yes or No , if agreement is not locked by others will get approved or rejected no problem.
But if agreement is locked , it will get checked only after they hit approve or reject so i will be displaying a message to them that this agreement is locked Hit Cancel button and do the Task later .
so the approver will comeback at later at 20 or 30 mins and will execute the workitem which on double clicking will execute the already selected ( approve or reject ) status change only .
This is how i suggested them and they said okay.
Only problem they are saying with LOOP is they have to refresh the SBWP inbox when ever they met with lock of agreement .
If you still feel using loop and sending again is the best way i will try to ask them again and see.
Thanks,

Is there any way to prevent Pr from seizing the foreground?

I'm on Mac OS, when I launch Pr, and go back to my email, Pr persists in taking control of my computer and making itself the foreground application, interrupting my work. It does this even before the Project is completely open; so this can happen two or three times before it's really ready.
This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING, and I can see little benefit to this behavior. OK, maybe it would be nice to know when Pr is ready for projects that take a really long time to load. But, it seems to me that seizing the foreground should be an option in the Preferences. Many many many more times than not, I don't want Pr interrupting me.
I have already submitted my Feature Request, but if anybody knows a hack to the app that will stop this, I'd be most grateful to know it.
Oh, and "You Know Who," I know before you even say it what you're going to suggest: "Don't run any apps along with Pr." Thats doesn't cut it. Because Pr also seizes the FG when I'm working in Ae or Ps, and the CS is designed to have multiple apps opened at once. Modern OSs are designed for multi-tasking. We need to have FTP client, email, browser, etc. open all the time to conduct business. And having two computers isn't in the cards for all users. But, preventing annoying and mostly useless functions are.

I anticipated there would be some unhelpful responses to this, especially from Windows users crowing about not having this problem.
Those of you advocating patience are the same people who get annoyed by other irritations in software, I have no doubt.
As you know, ten or twenty seconds (or whatever your typical launch time is) wasted 300 times a year adds up. Software is supposed to help us; not get in our way.
I'd appreciate it if you forum people with insane post counts could refrain from commenting on every post, especially with unhelpful information.
This is not a Mac thing; it's an Adobe on Mac thing. None of my non-Adobe apps do this. Just Pr and Ae. Ps, Ai and AME load in the BG and stay there.
If you know of a hack (besides switching to Windows), please advise.

I had to change my apple ID and password. When I want to update my aps. on my I phone 4S I get a box that says I need to sign in to I tunes. It has my old apple ID and I can't find any way on my phone to change the address it has in the box. Help!!

Because of a nasty virus on my computer I had to change my apple ID and password. When I went to update my apps. on my I phone 4s the box said I need to sign in to I tunes. The ID it had in the box was my old apple ID and I can't remember the password. I can't find any where in my phone settings that will let me change my I tunes ID although I have a new apple ID and password that I used to get on this site but I can't change it on my phone. Please help.
Thanks

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

Is there any way to disable Firefox from updating my browser?

I have been an ardent Firefox user ever since Firefox began, having created innumerable Firefox users through the effusive enthusiasm in which I have promoted Firefox to others. But the manner in which Firefox has been demonstrating its total disdain for its loyal cadre of users like myself has me infuriated to no end, to the point of dumping Firefox altogether out of sheer frustration, anger with Firefox's absolute disregard to the requests of its users, who have pleaded to have a mechanism in which the all-too frequent updates wreaks havoc with our lives, livelihood.
The worst aspect of Firefox's dictatorial approach is the manner in which truth is the first casualty in
having a process to disable the update process which is very much akin to the manner in which Foie gras is produced. I have been given all sorts of advice, guidance on how to disable the update process
none of which have done a wit to fulfill my request of the specific needs of a browser that serves my interest and purpose, one in which is very much entwined with the work I do online as what I do for a living.
The insults Firefox perpetuates against users like me in providing phony approaches that in the end
turn out to be just another dead end is nothing short of nefarious. My attempt for the umpteenth
time in trying to put a stop to these updates is a terrible business practice, doing the worst sort of harm, to those who have been most loyal to the Firefox cause.
Just today, despite applying every sort of suggestion to stop these infernal updates, Firefox has once
again found a new way to bring me closer to becoming forever alienated.
This morning I noticed browsers all on five computers updated when I specifically had in place every
contingency for disabling these updates and so once again, I deleted every last remnant of Firefox off of my computer and started anew with a browser from Old Apps.com after going through my checklist
of steps to insure the updates will never cross my path again.
But despite doing everything to stop it, checking never to be updated, having extensions applied manually and a host of other faux approaches to disable the updates, I nearly lost it when noticing
that all computers were displaying the latest updates.
After today's latest debacle with the game you play with us users, it came to me like a ton of bricks falling loose right on top of me, how on a smaller scale,you, your tactics, your total obliviousness to the requests needs of our users, reminded me of Microsoft in its heyday.
That's a very sad,tragic legacy to be reminiscent of.

You can install Firefox ESR, '''which updates every year, but is aimed for IT and biz users.''' We also dont support it here, but '''you can install it''', the current version is 17.0.7.
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all
Or another solution is to go to FIrefox button > Options > Advanced > Update > Disable Auto updates
If disabling autoupdate doesnt work you can see [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Hopefully you found my advice well!

AI CC 2014 Scrubby Zoom. . .any way to disable / switch back to the old drag a rectangle and zoom into it method? Thanks

I really would like to know if there is a switch similar to the one in PS that I can toggle to revert it back to the way AICC 2013 and earlier versions handled the zoom. Thanks a ton

Yes, I found it. As you said, It's part of the Windows Version of AICC 2014 with GPU acceleration. . .if it's bugging anyone else, the switch can be found under PREFERENCES> EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE> ENABLE ANIMATED ZOOM. Just uncheck that and everything goes back to normal.
Thanks to Monika for pointing me in the right direction.

Jumping to currently playing track - Any way to disable?

Is there any way to disable iTunes from jumping to the song each time a new one begins? Thanks.

Not being very helpful, I know. I would just like to say that I too think that this is very annoying.
Why is it necessary to jump to the currently playing track every time it changes? It makes it impossible to browse your music collection, especially if it is large. I have about 9000 tracks, and it is almost impossible to find the next track before the currently playing song is over.
You have to have a pretty good idea of what you want to hear before you start browsing.
So it would be very nice if Apple would either disable this "feature" or make it optional.

Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result is maddening.
HELP!!!
Running OSX 10.9.1

I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out. The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
Thanks, King
