Can I disable the auto start-up when I mount an external volume?

As iphoto seems to take an age to start up, I tend to suffer it only when I need to edit my library. However, every time I mount a volume (USB or memory stick) to transfer music files, iphoto starts up and I have to wait 5 mins for it to start, and 3 mins for it to close. Does anyone know a way to stop iphoto starting up automatically?

launch image capture (in your applications foldr) and in the preferences set the action when a camera is connected to "none"

How can I disable the auto start up of iphoto on my computer when I plug in my iphone?

Whenever i plug in my iphone 4s, my computer automatically opens iphoto. How do I disable it?

yeah that's what I used to do before I updated to snow leopard. Now it does not have the same menu options which is why I am asking.
It is not in image capture either.
Read the other forums on this topic, I don't seem to have those choices anymore.( general> connecting a camera) does not appear in window.
I cannot figure out where this is.

Can you disable the "auto open" feature when printing with Adobe Reader x verxion 10.1.6?

Every time I print a file to PDF, it automatically opens. Can this be turned off? I was able to stop this in a previous version of Adobe, but it's been so long, I don't remember how I did it. I've looked at the settings on my PDF printer as well, but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

Hi Sherry,
You can check the printer preferences for Adobe PDF printer and deselect 'view Adobe PDF result'.
On windows machine, please go to control panel and then open printer and devices. right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select printer properties/Preferences.
You must be using Adobe Acrobat to print a document to PDF.
you cannot print a document to PDF using Adobe Reader.
Thanks

How can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

how can I disable the change of color when changing background in ios7?

For txt messages you can change the option of whether previews are shown (Settings >> Messages >> Show Preview Toggle). Switching this "Off" will still show a notification of a missed txt message, but it will not show text from the message itself.
Unfortunately, similar functionality does not currently exist for phone calls; however, the new iOS release (scheduled for September, I think rumor has it) will revamp the way notifications are handled, and there maybe an elegant solution for you then.

Can I disable the audio pitch adjustment when using frame rate conversion?

We have a mov file containing digitized film material with audio scanned at 25 fps (1 frame film for 1 frame video) while the film should be 18 fps.
So both video and audio are too fast.
Compressor provides the framerate conversion so source plays at x frames per second.
This works well for video but the audio slowed down remains the pitch it has in the original speed. A great feature but an unwanted result in this case.
Audio should be at a lower pitch since it was recorded too fast.
Can we disable the pitch adjustment, when using rate conversion, so the pitch is corrected (lower) as well?

Hi Jason
This does sound tricky - the only other suggestion that I can add to David's is to use the smallest GOP setting you can, I'm in PAL land so the default is 12frames but I push it down to 7, this forces more I-frames into your mpeg. It makes the file size higher but in a project your length it doesn't matter. Make sure you encode your audio to .ac3 (use the Dolby 2.0 preset in compressor). Although David's limit is 7.4, if I'm not playing back on a laptop I'll set my CBR to 8Mbps (in Compressor CBR is called 'one-pass').
Once you create your mpeg, play it back in Quicktime first to make sure there are no artifacts full screen (with Simulators reduced size sometimes artifacts exist in your orig mpeg that you may not notice).
Also as David said, DVDSP doesn't re-encode an existing mpeg so something else must be going on. Before you re-import your new mpeg, delete your DVDSP prefs and any menu mpegs that it has created.
If you have Toast, try just doing a Build, instead of Build & Format. This will give a VIDEO_TS folder that you can then burn in Toast. Use the Data tab and select DVD-ROM/UDF.
If this doesn't work I don't know what will.
Good luck!

How can I disable the event sound played when a new window is opened?

When Firefox starts, or when a new window is opened there is an annoying click.
How can I disable this?
The only way I have been able to stop it is by disabling all event sounds from the control panel but I'd rather just disable this particular sound.

No, it's Windows XP. Hmmm, I don't know! I only started noticing it recently and as far as I remember, the only new add on is NoScript. I found the event that was being triggered (Start Connection) and disabled the sound in Windows. So the problem is solved in that I don't have the annoying sound ... but don't know why it started and hope nothing sinister is going on.

Can i disable the save windows screen when turning off the computer? It is very anoying.

Please if anyone can help i want to disable the window that wants to save the windows when closing the computer.

If you do not want windows to open when rebooting and don't like to have to uncheck the option every time, there is a keyboard shortcut:
Press Command + Option + Control + Eject key. This will cause an immediate shutdown without the window.

Can I disable the album cover view when I turn the iTouch sideways?

So when you I am listening to music, and I turn the touch on its side, it switches from the player to the album view that you can scroll back from side to side.
I don't know about you guys, but I HATE this. I never EVER use this and I think it super annoying that it comes up all the time. And when when i turn the touch back upright.. there is a delay and it take time to return to the player. I wish there was a way to disable it.. or even better, when you turned the iTouch sideways, it showed a wide music player.
Any suggestions, comments, work arounds?

Double tap the Home Button to bring up multi-tasking. Swipe the bar to the right to bring up music controls. The left button is the Orientation Lock. When it's enabled, you see an icon at the top of the notification tray to let you know it's locked. This locks certain applications in the native view (YouTube videos still play horizontally, Music stays in portrait, and photos stay in portrait).

How can I disable the "location" pop-ups when entering a new event in Calendar?

When I add a new event in Calendar on my computer (Macbook using Yosemite) and then start to type an address or place in the location field, a pop-up list of locations appears from which I can choose. If I choose one of the listed locations, then a map appears (which I don't want) along with travel times, etc. I want to disable this feature. Seems the only way I can ignore this pop-up list is to hit the tab button as soon as I have finished typing. This doesn't occur on my iphone or iPad (I can just click "done" and ignore the list). I really wish I could disable this feature!

How can I customize the auto-generated WSDL when using a PL/SQL webservice?

My webservice returns a refcursor as an ArrayOfString. (I followed the sample code.) Instead of everything being returned in one large array, I need to create a correct record hierarchy, like <rec1><fld1></fld1></rec1>, etc.
As far as I know, this grouping has to be done in a WSDL file. However, following this sample, the WSDL is auto-generated and overwritten with each launch of the webservice.
Am I missing something, or are there other secrets/tips?
thanks

Very Nice:) Thanks!
1. I added this to my HTM HEADER:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function test_javaprompt () {
var Hours = prompt("How Many Hours?");
$x('P142_HOURS').value = Hours;
doSubmit()
</script>
2. I Created an Item:
P142_HOURS
3. I Created a Button:
TEST_JAVA
a. In the Button area for, Optional URL Redirect, I selected- Target is a URL
b. URL Target- javascript:test_javaprompt();
When I press the Button then it does Exactly what I want it to do.
Except....
Ultimately, I do not want this javascript assigned to the button.
I would like to run this javascript when the value of a DatePicker Item, (P142_DROPS_SUBMITTED) is changed.
If you can help me with that then I'll be forever grateful:)

How can I disable the Auto Recent Contact Group in email

The email app automatically selects a recent group of contacts instead of the primary contact. This is extremely frustrating and very strange, IMO. Why would the default be to list the group instead of the primary contact you are searching for first?
Example:
Compose New Email
Start typing a contacts name int eh To: field
the list Autopopulates with recently emailed groups before the main contact.
Is there a way to disable this "feature". I know I can "Remove from Recents" but this is actually very tedious.
Thanks!
-Joe

If you only want to select from saved contacts, then tap the Plus ( + ) sign on the right of the address bar to bring up your actual contacts list instead of using this method.
You can still type a few letters into the search box at the top of the contact list to find your contact quickly.

Can I disable the annoying Mail alerts when roaming?

Every time I am roaming (which I do a lot), and I open Mail, I get a double alert. The first says "Data roaming is turned off, use wifi..." etc etc. I click OK, then a second alert appears: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server..."etc. I have to click OK a second time.
This drives me crazy. I know I don't have data roaming on - I switched it off myself!. I know I cannot get mail...Again, I already went and switched off my data roaming. Why must I constantly get double alerts telling me something that I initiated myself?
When I am on a business trip and need to access old work emails for details, I have to deal with this constantly. Is there a 'Don't show this again' option like Mac OSX has? Can I turn these alerts off somehow?
I guess one solution on the horizon will hopefully be with OS4 and multitasking, the Mail app will already be open, so hopefully switching back to it will not trigger the double alerts again - I hope. Until then, any ideas?

Switch off "push" mode and select manual, this way whatever happens you are in control and you can read your mail only when you wish to.
Hope it helps.

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.
