Can I turn off the setting to "erase iPad" if I find my lost iPad?

I lost my iPad a few weeks ago, and since the battery was dead, I couldn't find it using "Find my iPhone."  I was concerned that it could have been left somewhere in public, so I set it to erase the iPad upon connection to the internet.  Now I found the iPad last night.  Can I turn off the "erase iPad" setting in Find my iPhone?  It doesn't seem to allow this (I assume for some security reason, but I need to use my apple id to get into

Normally I would say no, but one user reported success with the procedure outlined in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076422?start=0&tstart=0.  Can't confirm if this actually worked but it may be worth a try.

  • Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

    In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
    When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection.  The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor.  Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box?  It is driving me bonkers.

    Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

    I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate.
    How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
    In response to the original problem:
    I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
    tell application "Contacts"
              set thePeople to selection
              repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                        set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                        if theDate is not missing value then
                                  set the year of theDate to 1604
                                  set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                        end if
              end repeat
    end tell
    copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

  • 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 sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

    All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

    In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

  • How can I turn off the "Free Subscription is ending in X days" pop-up. I bought the subscription and downloaded it. I'm using the paid version.  It all appears to be working accept for the silly pop-up.

    How can I turn off the "Free Subscription is ending in X days pop-up. I bought my subscription but still receive the notice.

    Hi Carl,
    Is it the Acrobat trial that's ending? (Adobe doesn't offer free subscriptions that expire after a set time.)
    If you're referring to the Acrobat trial, have you logged in with your Adobe ID and password? If not, click License this Software in the pop-up that states the trial is ending soon, and then log in with your credentials, and you should be set.
    Please let us know if that is not the case.
    Best,

  • How can I turn off the FileVault?

    How can I turn off the FileVault? It keeps saying 'Encryption paused', even I connected the power adapter.
    What impacts does it have on my Macbook Pro if I cannot turn off the FileVault?
    Thank you!

    If you don't already have a current backup of all data, back up before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
    Then, from the menu bar, select
              File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
    Enter the password again.
    You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
    If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
              Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    from the Format menu.
    You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
    Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

  • How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call.

    How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call before the ring tone starts?  I have a LG accolade

    I recommend checking your  prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature. 
    With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
    -Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
    -Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
    -Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
    Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
    * For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
    * For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
    * For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

  • Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

    Can you turn off the automatic guide grids in Aperture books?

    Yes you can do this - either the way you're already doing it by editing the published content or by changing the source code in the template itself.
    I won't get into the details here cuz I have all this documented here:
    http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/
    See the iWeb Templates page. In short, what you have to do is show package contents for the iWeb app, open the Resources folder, open the .lproj folder for YOUR language, likely english, open the Templates folder and then one by one, for each page-type folder you find in there, you have to show package contents for your chosen template, unzip the index.xml.gz files, find the hyperlink settings in the XML, turn off the underline setting, save the file again and rezip it. Then any NEW pages you build will not contain underlined links. It sounds worse than it is.
    If you tell me which template you're using, I'll go look in the file and tell you how to turn the underline code OFF. But you should read my instructions at my site before you even try to do this - I outline some things you should know before even opening up those XML files.
