Can I turn off rotate on the touch pad?

Hello, community.
I've recently bought my macbook pro, and I'm really enjoying it, and it's just insanely genious. It has but one little annoying flaw, which is the rotate effect on the multitouch pad.
I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the effect. I like all the other applications regarding the pad, it's just the one, but it seems that I can't configure it myself.
Grateful for answers.

  • How can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times?

    how can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times? I use an Airport extreme and several units to extend the range. Kids have multiple devices that I don't want on the network at certain hours. On the other hand, ideally, my wife and I would like to be able to access the internet with our devices after the kid's bedtime and during their school study time.

    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.

  • Can I turn off tab in the new Safari for ipad?

    I want to turn off the tabs in the new Safari for my iPad 2. I have gone to the settings in Safari and can only select the types of tabs, why can't I turn tabs off?

    You cannot turn the feature off. This is the way that Apple has now designed for it to work. If you would like to let Apple know how you feel about it, leave feedback here.

  • How can I turn off or dim the keyboard backlight?

    I have a new HP Envy 14 Ultrabook.  It has a backlit keyboard.  I know many people like that "feature", but I don't.  I assumed it would be easy to turn off the light in the control panel (e.g., in the device's settings), but there is no option.  I can hit the F5 key to turn off the general lighting, but then that F5 key glows blindingly bright all the time.  I want to either completely disable the keyboard backlights, or equivalently set the light level to be dim to the point of being completely off.  But I can't find any setting to do that in the power options, device properties, etc.  Nor has this question been satisfactorily answered in any other forums that I could find.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I haven't tried this on a laptop but I've used it on all kinds of too-bright led's like on the electric toothbrush or the HEPA filter or modem, etc.: Take some nail polish and paint the bulb. A dark color or lighter color depending on how much light you want to block. Sometimes I paint the lights on things completely with dark nail polish and I've never had it cause a problem.
    Since the bulb doesn't put out that much lumens it shouldn't hurt it and the worst case scenario would be that the bulb burns out and you replace it, or at least I think that would be the worst case scenario. On my Pavilion the f5 button turns the backlight on and off just fine though the power button is a bit too bright. I may paint it with nail polish. That said, when I do turn my backlight on using f5, it is much too bright and I really wish HP would make this adjustable. Why the heck wouldn't they?? I could paint that light but I really don't want to open up my computer, I'm superstitious that way.

  • Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

    After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
    Thanks in advance.

    WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
    They are not connected.
    Mute and rotation lock are independent.  However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.
    I wrote:
    You can change the behavior in Settings->General->Use side switch for
    Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
    The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
    Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

  • Can I turn off Genius & On-The-Go on iPod

    There are 2 items in my iPod 5G Music Playlists that I would like to get rid of:
    1 Genius
    2. On-The-Go
    I have my iPod set to sync only selected playtlists and the 2 mentioned above are not even in my iTunes playlist. I am sure that these are 2 ROM coded items in the iPod, but they make the menus longer and harder to find the real stuff.

    Also "Reciently Added" playlist on iPod.
    If I switch to manage music manually I can delete this playlist, but once I switch back to auto manage it re-adds this list.

  • Can't turn off airport

    After installing snow leopard on my MacBook 13" I can't turn off airport from the top menu or from network utility.
    Just now was successful in turning off Airport. I had to go to network preferences, click on automatic (not my regular network name), the apply button was no longer grayed out. Hit apply and was able to turn off the connection from preferences. Can now turn off and on from top menu

    ok I just installed SNM LPD on 3 intel macs-older Imac 2.0ghz, newer 13"macbook 2.4ghz, and newer 24"Imac 2.4ghz. All of them worked ok except the Imac. I couldn't connect to a wireless network at all nor could I turn off the airport card. The system profiler saw the card and it seemed to be working fine. So I knew it was a software problem. I tried everything. I was just about to wipe the disk and reinstall everything (which would have taken 3 to 4 days) when I tried to add another network location profile. I've used the automatic profile forever, but then I thought I'd try a whole new location. I went to edit locations. Hit the plus button and named it. It populated the hardware and my airpot card (which was on but wouldn't connect) turned off. When I turn it back on (in the NEW location menu) it found all the nearest networks instantly. I found my home network and put in my password and it didn't give me the small "connection error" sign. I don't know what this glitch is but its annoying...hope its helps!
