Can I turn of pinch feature in Safari 6?

Hi Everyone.  First post here.  Just upgraded to Mountain Lion two days ago and overall I really like most of it.  I print web pages to PDFs for work many times a day, and some of the sites the pages come from differ in size.  Many of the pages I pring to PDF are only one page, but some are slightly into a second page.  In older versions of Safari, I could pinch two fingers together to adjust the page so the second pages fit onto one page of a PDF, but now pinching two fingers together displays all open tabs.  Is there any way to turn that off?  I would imagine that I can probably adjust some print settings and come up with the same solution, but the pinch to resize feature was just so easy for me. 
Thanks everyone.  Hope there is any easy solution!

I have found that you can adjust the scale in the print options screen before you click to save as a PDF.  It works, but not as user-friendly for me as the pinch feature.  Although it helps for now, I'd still like to know if pinch to tabs can be disabled.  Thanks!

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • Just updated my iPad to ios5. How can I turn off tabbed browsing in Safari?

    My wife just updated her iPad to ios5 because of problems with Safari. Now she cannot see her previous web pages as she could in ios4. Instead she sees tabbed browsing which she hates. Can tabbed browsing be turned off and Safari restored to the way it used to work? Are there any alternatives/
    Thanks.

    You can't turn it off. Sorry. Take a look at iCab Mobile. It's another browser that's available in the App Store. It has both tabs and thumbnails (and tons of other neat features).

  • How can I turn off background features in Premiere Elements 8?

    There are two features that run in the background while you're working in Premiere Elements 8 which, while useful, can interfere with your other work. So, if you find your computer running sluggishly, you may want to try disabling them.
    Background Rendering renders all non-DV footage or footage to which effects or transitions have been applied on your timeline automatically. (Clips which appear on the timeline with a red line above them need to be rendered in order to show at full quality.) To turn off this feature, go to Edit/Preferences and uncheck the Background Rendering option.
    To manually render your video, press Enter. The red lines above your clips will turn green when rendering is complete.
    The Organizer also runs a background feature called the Auto Analyzer. To disable it, go to the Organizer's Edit/Preferences and select the Auto Analyzer page. Uncheck this option.
    Note that the Auto Analyzer creates Smart Tags, which are necessary in order for the program to Auto Enhance your clips. If you turn off the Auto Analyzer, then, you will also disable the Auto Enhance feature.
    Finally, as an added tweak, go to Premiere Elements' Edit/Preferences and set Timeline Scrolling to Page Scroll. The default setting (Smooth Scrolling) continually moves the timeline as your video plays, wasting unnecessary resources.

    That is not standard behavior. You may have installed an extension that causes it.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • In version 4.0 I can't use the pinch feature on my trackpad to zoom in and out. Is there a setting in Firefox for this?

    I installed v4.0 of Firefox and can no longer use the pinch feature on the trackpad of my MacBook. It seems to work OK in Safart and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Firefox to enable me to use that feature. The way the feature works is that you pinch your thumb & forefinger together or spread them apart to zoom in and out.

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
    browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift cmd_fullZoomReset

  • How can I turn off inherent features of Firefox? (Specifically, it automatically loads and displays the next page, but it will load OVER the current page)

    With this version of Firefox, it automatically loads the 'next' page. When I'm reading blogs, when I click to go back, it automatically loads the first page of the blog as the 'next' page I want to go to. However, it will load this page OVER the page I am on, so that I cannot see it. With some blogs, it is so extreme, I cannot use Firefox on them at all. This isn't an add-on or anything, and I cannot find it in the preferences panel. Can I turn it off somehow/is there a way to in Firefox 4?

  • NB510: Automatic wake-up after lift display: can not turn off this feature

    Hello, Toshiba!
    With the "Hardware Setup" program I set the _automatic switch on_ my notebook NB 510 _after lift the display_. Unfortunately, I _can not disable_ this feature.
    I have tried in the "Control Panel - Power" to disable this function, I tried to disable this function by hardware setup, but to no avail.
    When I check "disable the automatic inclusion" and reboot my notebook, but nothing has changed.
    Also I reinstalled windows, I took out at 8:00 the battery from the motherboard, cut off the power to the notebook and remove the main battery, unfortunately, nothing did not help.
    This function is inconvenient for me, because when the laptop in my backpack, it sometimes turns on itrself and the battery is very low.
    How do I disable the automatic inclusion?...
    OS: Windows 7, Windows 8, system BIOS version 1.40, EC Version 1.00, feature "Panel Open - Power On" (tab "Power Managment") in BIOS disabled, but it still works...
    I really waiting for any answers, thanks a lot!
    p.s. sorry for my bad english, it is automatic google translate.

    >How long I will wait for reset BIOS settings to default after I took out the battery from the motherboard?
    This isnt a case for notebooks. Removing the CMOS battery in desktop PC has reset the BIOS but this does not work for notebook.
    So if you are not able to change these settings in BIOS, I guess there is something wrong with the BIOS.
    Usually you should be able to save the BIOS changes before you would exit the BIOS.
    I see you are using Win 7 and Win 8.
    As far as I know Win 8 isnt supported on this notebook model and possible some features would not work properly.
    Using Win 7 its necceary to install the Value Added Package for Win 7 since this package installs a range of important utilities:
    - TOSHIBA Components Common Driver is an essential component of Windows OS. It is required to make the other TOSHIBA original programs work properly.
    - TOSHIBA Power Saver controls power consumption by switching to optimum power settings, based on whether the machine is plugged in or on battery power, and based on the remaining battery power.
    - TOSHIBA Utilities lets you customize your hardware settings according to the way that you work with your computer and the peripherals you use. To start the utility, click the Windows Start button and click Control Panel and select the TOSHIBA HW Setup icon.

  • Can I Turn Off Location Awareness in Safari?

    I go to a website that regularly asks me if I will allow it to use my location for purposes of my visit.  I find this request annoying and not useful to me.  When I asked the site folks how to prevent it, they directed me to a place where I could turn off location awareness . . . in Windows.
    Is there a similar ability in Mac Safari 5.1.2?  I can't find one.

  • How can I turn off pinch to zoom in Pages?

    Hi there,
    I'm using Pages v.5.2.2 and I want to turn off the pinch to zoom function. I would rather use the trackpad to resize objects within the page, not the page itself.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you! :-)
    Best,
    CJ

    Pinch to zoom is a function of Mavericks, not Pages. System Preferences > Trackpad.
