Can't turn off face tracking on Live! Ultra for Notebooks

Please help! I've installed Live! Ultra for Notebooks and it works reasonably well, except for the fact that I can't turn off the Face Tracking feature.
When I installed everything, I selected "Smart", but I hate the way that the camera keeps panning off to different parts of the room. So, I just want to turn this feature OFF.
But every time I open the Face Tracking Utility, or go to the screen via "Tools," I can click "off". But, it doesn't actually turn off; the camera still keeps panning off to the far corners of the room. And the next time I access the Face Tracking Utility again, it has defaulted back to "Smart". Any suggestions on how to disable this feature?
My system is as follows:
Dell Inspiron 700M
Intel Pentium M 2.00 GHz processor
Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 2
Happy new year & thanks in advance..

Finally figured it out. In case anyone else has the same problem of your computer ignoring changes in the Face Tracking Utility screen, try this:
Go to Webcam Center. Click on "Capture" then the "Source" tab, one of two discrete grey tabs just above the video screen.
Under "Extended Settings" you have the options for face tracking: off, continuous or smart. Click it and your computer should actually hold onto this setting until you change it again!
Good luck.

How can i turn off faces

i can't turn off faces in iphoto although i had previously, with the new update i guess it cancelled it and now iphoto is trying to identify 12000 faces.. anyone have instructions?

What ever - we are users just like you - creepy, not creppy, paranoid, not paranoid - we can not change anything - we just help people use it the way it is - that is all this forum is for - users helping other users

BTW I guess you have no idea how faces works - it does not identify people (yet) it identifies faces and you go in and assign people to the face - if you ignore it then all that Big Brother can see when they scan your computer every night is that you have photos that include people - which of course they already knew because everyone takes pictures of people

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple?

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple? Is is possible to roll the software back prior to Apple installing location tracking? I am very unhappy with this change by Apple. I know they probably included a reference to it in one of the user agreements, but this should have been clearly stated and offered a way to opt out. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.

Yeah, I do see your point. I personally feel perfectly safe using my iPhone wherever I go however I would consider that my usage is a lot less than the average user. I've had the phone for a year and have only made a total of 5 hours worth of calls and have only taken it out of my city one or twice. So for me I don't see any privacy concerns.
From reading the privacy statement though it seems that Apple are adamant that the collection of the geographical data etc is 99% personal information free. They use the term "non-personal information" and for that 1% where someone's personal information does somehow become mingled with their geographical location/movements etc Apple state that this information would be handled as though it was your credit card details or your social security number etc until such time as it's no longer combined.
"If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined."
But, I do agree with the fact that Apple really should have made us more aware of this. Instead we have found out through scientists and their research... that, coupled with the fact that no other smartphone collects this information hasn't helped either.
I will continue to use my iPhone as normal though... I am personally confident in Apple's commitment to privacy. I know not all share this view and that's fine. We all have our own perceptions of the implications of technology...
To answer your question about rolling back your software though that can be done. Might be a bit of a headache though and I'm not the best person to help with that. I'm sure there's some good information here though. Good luck!

High CPU usage, Live Ultra for Notebooks

I've been using the Live Ultra for Notebooks for a while, and it has consistently high CPU usage. It breaks down to about 50-60% for the driver (V0070Vid.sys thread, in the "System" process) and then a bit more (+5%) for DPC's. Combined with the host application (Skype, 25% CPU) means the whole thing essentially takes over my CPU.
Is this typical CPU usage for this webcam? I've used other ones, and I seem to remember that CPU usage was a lot lower. I have this problem on 2 different computers.
AMD Sempron 300+
GB Ram
Windows 2000 SP4
Please post what webcam, CPU, OS, and about how much CPU % your webcam takes. I'd like to see if these results are normal. Thanks.

I also have a Toshiba laptop with Vista Home Basic. I tried to install the "BETA" Vista drivers for this camera (VF0070) and it says the driver is only for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit. Is there a solution to this? Should I just return this and go buy a Logitech instead?

How to turn off Face Tracking

I tried to turn off the face tracking under Face Tracking Options (there are three options, off, continous and smart). I clicked "off" each time, but it did work. The setting automatically returns to either "continous" or "smart". Can anyone help?

There appears to be a bug in the software that won't let you turn it off. It will only allow you to switch to continous or smart. So, I did some poking around and to turn it off you'll need to edit your registry*
Open Regedit and navigate to the following key.
I've only done this on one PC so the VF0070 name may be different.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech\Web Cameras\VF0070
In this folder you will find a key named: FaceTrackingMode
0 = off
1 = Continous
2 = smart
You will need to stop and restart WebCam Center in order for the change to take effect.
*I nor Creative Labs is responsible if you do any damage to or in any way screw up your computer. If you are not comfortable with editing the registry then don't do it.

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.

Can I turn off Ken Burns Effect in iMovie for iPad 2?

Can I turn it off, and adjust a default time for pictures when added to timeline?

You can't turn it off the Ken Burns effect, but if you set the same start and end positions for zoom and pan then it won't appear to do anything.
5.0 seconds seems to be the default display time for each picture. I can't find an option to change that anywhere.

How can I turn off autosearch in Firefox to allow for an unknow address?

I need help disabling the autosearch provider in Firefox 8.0. I need to reset my wireless adaptor for my Tivo DVR and in order to do this, I disable my wireless network, type a series of numbers into the Firefox address bar and click return key. This then is supposed to take me to a Wireless “Setup Wizard” housed in the adaptor, not the internet. However, when I try this, Firefox tries to connect and then I get an error message that it could not and the site is busy. How do I disable “autosearch” so that Firefox goes to this non-internet based link rather than first going to Google search engine?
I have tried the following based on Firefox Help page:
I have entered “about”config” and then set “keyword.enabled” to “false” and also “browser.fixup.alternate.enabled” to “false”.
Is there anything else I can do so that Firefox connects directly to the Setup Wizard rather than attempting to go to a search engine first?
Thanks for your help.

How can I turn off Mixed Content Blocking via script for an enterprise?

Users in our enterprise (2,000+ clients) have to manually allow an MCB exception when using an in-house application every time we use it. I have exported the registry, made the change to mixed content blocking active content in about:config, and then re-exported the registry and have been unable to find any changes in the registry. Therefore, I am out of ideas as to how to deploy a package from Configuration Manager (Microsoft's enterprise client management) to disable this feature so people can work unhindered by Firefox.
Currently we are getting around this by telling our users to NOT use Firefox. This will be a make or break for this browser in our environment.

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:
How can I turn off that Maveriks is scanning continuously for new devices?
How can I turn off the detection mode of my iMac?

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.

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
