Thanks,

How can i turn off passcode when the option is greyed out

how can i turn off passcode in iPhone 4S when the option is greyed out?

You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

Can we turn off passcode?

Can we turn off the necessity to enter the passcode every time?

Of course you can, if you don't mind everybody else who picks up your iPad being able to get into your iPad, read your email and texts, access your accounts, look at your private data and photos, and everything else stored on your device.

I can't turn off Apple's "News" Rule

Can anyone help me turn off Apple's Rule for setting the background color to blue for News from Apple. According to Help, deselecting the checkbox in Mail > Prefs > Rules should turn it off but it doesn't.
Unrelated but it would be helpful to me to know: in Entourage, I am used to having an option for deleting a message from the server, but keeping the message locally. Does Mail have this option anywhere?
Thanks

I used the greyscal slider and changed the two Apple News messages to white. The question is, what happens when new Apple News messages come in since the Rule is still in effect. I'm not handy with Rules but couldn't I create a Rule to turn any Apple News message to this color white? Seems ridiculous but in lieu of the fact that I can't turn it off...
By now I've blown my cover as a grumpy curmudgeon so I won't hold back. Another reason I still use Entourage as my default email reader is I can't get Mail to not automatically retrieve my message as soon as I open it. I have it set Prefs>General>Check For New Mail: Manually. Yet every time I open Mail, it hurries up like an overanxious dog an gets all new mail. This screws me up because I already know I have junk mail and now have to delete it a second time. It's like Mail just does not respond to the commands I give it. (I know, I know, whining and grumbling) But seriously, how to turn off automatic News, and automatic checking for new mail?
Thanks

3.1 now can't turn off passcode

Before updating, I had the passcode set for 1 hour (I knew I needed some protection in case the phone was lost/stolen but I didn't want to unlock the phone all day long). Since the update, my options for passcode time is limited to 5 minutes and less. And, there appears no way to turn off the passcode!!
Even the genius bar couldn't help me with this today. Can you guys??

If you use an Exchange account, those restrictions may be imposed by the Exchange Administrator. You should check with him or her.

Can I turn off XHCI on new Mac PRO?

I am interested to get a new Mac Pro. I am a bit disappointed that there are only four USB3 Ports. I know that there are expansion appliances and devices that will provide a few more. here is my issue, which will determine if I am a buyer:
I will need to turn off XHCI, reverting to USB2, and hopefully on a port-by-port basis. Now before anyone jumps up and tries to tell me that XHCI will support USB2, I can tell you for provable certainty that XHCI is not truly backwards compatible with USB2. USB2 is an emulation under XHCI. There are some devices that will not run under such an emulation. One of them is the Microtelecom Perseus SDR Radio. I am a collector and SWL enthusiast of 35+ year duration. SDR (Software Defined Radio) is the newest, and very exciting development in Radio. Few are made with MAC OS compatibility, so I run them in Virtual Machines, under Parallels. This works handsomely on my Mac Pro 1.1. But my Mac Pro is long in the tooth. I would like to replace it with a new Mac Pro. But only if I can turn off XHCI. Also please do not wax on about how the manufacturers of such devices should upgrade to USB3. That is not an option for radios that were made 10 years ago.
There must be a way to do this. Apple must certainly want to market the Mac Pro to the Scientific Community, many of whom have devices which are USB2, and finicky about their connections.
I would prefer to turn off XHCI on a port-by-port basis, or to find an extension/expansion device that is not a simple passthrough of USB.
I asked this question at the Apple Store here in San Francisco today, and no one had an answer, or knew what I was talking about. My question was escalated twice to supposedly more knowable persons, none of whom had any idea what XHCI is.
Anyone here know?

No response here in 3 days, so no one knows.
I did manage after a few tries to get an Apple Tech on the phone through the Sales Dep't. He said that there is no way in the Mac OS to disable XHCI settings, and while he recognized that PCs offer control through BIOS, that Apple offers no access to BIOS. He said further that one might discover a way through the Terminal app, but that Apple would not support that if done by a user. So I am NOT going to spend $3500+ on a new computer to have to hack it, and put Support and Warranty in jeopardy. No new Mac Pro for me, no sale for Apple. I may look for a refurb or eBay used Mac Pro 3,1-4,1-5,1, where I can drop in a PCIe USB3 card, and have both for my use, as I wish; nine hardware USB ports sounds good to me.

I have a new iphone 5C. How can I turn off the passcode. It does not have 'Passcode' in settings - general -. Can anyone help please.

I have a new iphone 5c. How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !! Can anyone help? Susie

Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

I can't turn off picture frame by using the settings passcode...the button won't turn it off.

I can't turn off picture frame on the lock screen. The button accessed through settings won't let me turn it off. How do I do this? Thanks.

You can only turn off Picture Frame if you have a passcode lock set on the iPad - if you don't have a passcode lock then the on/off slider is protected

How can I turn off that Maveriks at iMac is scanning continuously for new devices?

Hi, I have a iMac (early 2008) updatet to 10.9 Maveriks with Bluetooth mouse, mousepad en keyboard. I listen at home to music with a Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver (with Bluetooth) via my iMac, iPad and android device.
When I startup or wake up my iMac, Maveriks is always staring to scan for new Bluetooth devices?!. Than every time, my receiver (also when the receiver is turned off) is turning on and change to Bluetooth mode.
I can't turn off the Bluetooth function at my Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver. With Mountain Lion, I didn't had this problems.
I want to turn of the continuously scanning procedure after startup or wake up on my iMac.
My question is:

Kinda funny... I found this article while searching for an answer to my question:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
At the very end of the article, it mentions the "bug" that only one app on Windows can play direct sound at a time. That's exactly the "feature" I'm looking for on the Mac. Funny how one person's bug is another's feature.

Can not turn the passcode off on my iPhone4

Can not turn the passcode off? Please help to solve this problem, thanks!

If it's a personal iPhone rather than a corporate one. Go to settings, then general, then passcode. You will need to know your passcode and enter it, you will then be presented with the option to turn it off.
