Can I Turn OFF the Glowing Apple Logo?

I like the logo, don't get me wrong. It's that I'm a college student and I know I would be kind of distracted by a glowing apple. What do you guys think? Any solutions?

Abi,
You can't turn off the glowing apple without turning off the backlight on the LCD display. If you do this, then you can't see the LCD display.
Any good instructor will only be distracted by a glowing apple for about 2.54 seconds. They'll get used to it pretty quick, especially if they are already used to other students taking notes with a laptop.
Any fellow student who is distracted by your glowing apple is looking in the wrong direction. Don't worry about them, they probably have ADD, and would be distracted by a flying insect.
Seriously, my experience is that people will comment on what a nice looking computer it is . . . but when it comes down to the time to be serious it's not all that distracting.

  • Can I turn off the glowing of the numbers when I enter my lock code

    Don't like it when the numbers glow when you enter the lock code - really easy for someone to see what numbers you are hitting to unlock your phone.  Stupid function. Iphone 5 with 7.0.2 software

    It cannot be turned off.
    I disagree with your analysis.  I believe you can shield the iPhone from others and click the numbers quickly to prevent their view.  Further, the glowing helps provide positive feedback to you that you clicked the right keys.
    Also, you might enjoy the iPhone 5S which allows a fingerprint to replace the passcode.

  • Can i turn off the option that enables iOS 8 to connect to my apple tv without using wifi?

    I am a schoolteacher and our school uses Apple-tv to project lesson contents. We have separated the students wifi network from the teachers wifi network, so our students won't be able to use the apple-tv's and disrupt our lessons.
    Since the introduction of ios8, the separated wifinetwork doesn't do the trick anymore. Students can now use every Appltv in their vicinity to project whatever image they want. This is a problem.
    Can we turn off the option that enables IOS8 to connect to apple-tv without using the wifi network?
    Thanks in advance.

    Unless buffering a rental/prior purchase to watch it should not consume significant bandwidth when connected.
    Power wise it uses 6W at most.
    You can't power off from the remote but you can set it to sleep -
    Press and hold Select for five seconds (or go to Settings > Sleep Now on Apple TV (2nd generation), or Settings > Standby on Apple TV (1st generation)

  • How can I turn off the large blue location circle in apple maps?

    How can I turn off the large blue location circle in apple maps, MacBook Pro 15 (2011)?  It is to large.  At times I need to  zoom into my home location, but the large blue circle hides the location I need.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so it just plays through the headphones?

    How can I turn off the Ipod 5g speaker so that it just plays through the headphones?

    First make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphones plug can still be seen.
    If that's not the issue, try a hard reset of the Nano.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes

    Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes when you hover over a song in your song list. 
    I don't need a stupid pop-up; this isn't a stupid Windows program. Now my iTunes is jumping around, things are popping up!  *** APPLE! I wnat my old iTunes back!

    Like whan you touch the black bar at the top of the screen with the time and the battery percentage and all that...the screen will scroll all the way back to the top.  I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that off

  • HT1657 How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads in itunes store?

    How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads across the top of the screen when I open the itunes store and am in the movies section?

    Thanks varjak paw.
    I was afraid this was the case.  To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism.  That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position.  Sad to watch.

  • How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?  - It's making me sick!

    How can I turn off the transition effect in Spaces?
    Can I do this through the terminal somehow?
    I have three monitors and the transition effect is giving me motion sickness.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid there does not appear to be anyway of turning off the sliding transition in spaces. There's no option to turn it off or to change it to another effect.
    I use spaces all the time as I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it's incredibly useful to have a screen dedicated to e-mail and IM and another for Safari and two other screens for applications. There's just not enough screen real estate for all those windows. I think Spaces is one of the most useful user features of Mac OS X.
    Maybe we should send in a feature request to Apple? I used to use some third party software to do the same before Spaces was released and it had a selection of transitions or none at all.
    Personally, I'm now used to the transitions but as I don't have multiple monitors perhaps I'm being spared the motion sickness!
    Good luck.

  • How can I turn off the LED light? It's constantly on.

    If anyone can give me some help, that would be tremendous. How can I turn off the LED light as it's contstantly turned on???

    If a reset does not work, then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from a backup and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. If that doesn't work, then you can make an appointment to take the device to the Apple store and have the hardware checked.
    If you live close to an Apple store, you could go there first, but they will probably ask if you have done a restore and would do one there, so make sure you have backed up and synced all of your data.

  • How can I turn off the 3g in iOS8 ?

    I loaded iOS 8 on my iphone 5S today but I can not turn off the 3G. My phone is located in Turkey. Turning off the 3G is very important for me because in our country 3g does not work so clearly. I know if there are any problem in 3g, it's change to Edge automaticly by the iOS8 but also 3G affect my battery life negatively. Therefore can you help us to turn off the 3G which is extremly important for the users who live in Turkey. Thank you for your attention. 

    I agree. It's either lack of intelligence or over confidence that Apple has totally messed up a beautiful product like iPhone. iOS 7 worked amazing; no glitches, no problems, everything seemed fine - and one fine day, we were made to switch to the "worst iOS ever"! iOS 8 comes with a whole lot of glitches, and I am seriously fed up of my iPhone now. I don't feel like using it most of the times.
    No option to disable 3G
    Wi-fi connectivity is extremely poor
    ALL the apps crash after a few minutes
    Camera Roll disappeared for NO REASON
    A big.....huge thumbs down! Sorry.
