Can't turn off Yahoo Push Email Features

I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, and with this service, my home and laptop computers download mail from the Yahoo POP server on a regular basis. As with any mail client and POP mail, each client sees the mail as unread until I read it on that machine.
However, Yahoo Mail Plus, when accessed online, sees the downloaded messages as read. This would be fine, but it also results in my iPhone thinking I never have new/unread mail -- so even if I have 20 new message, if they have been downloaded by my desktop computer, the Mail app on my iPhone will say there are no new messages (the messages are on the iPhone, but they appear as already being read). The crazy thing is, this happens even when I turn off the general push and Yahoo account specific push settings on the iPhone. I wish I could get my iPhone to treat my Yahoo mail the same as all my other POP mail accounts, but it appears the clever people at Apple and Yahoo don't allow this to happen. Anyone have any ideas on how to make my iPhone mail app treat my Yahoo Mail Plus account like a normal POP account?

Sure Apple and Yahoo allow this, but it is up to the user to know the difference when creating the account. This is called garbage in = garbage out, which happens to everyone on occasion.
When creating a Yahoo account with the Yahoo account preset on the iPhone, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. Turning Push access off for recieved messages doesn't change or switch the account to a POP account. It is still an IMAP account with Push access turned off.
You want to access the account as a POP account. If so, delete your Yahoo account on the iPhone and when re-creating the account select "Other" instead. After the data entry on the first screen, select POP as the account type followed by entering the required settings for accessing the account as a POP account.

New v1.1.1 feature - turning off Yahoo "push" email

Not sure if anyone has mentioned or noticed this, but if you have a yahoo account, when you click on your account, then click on "advanced", there is an option to turn "on" or "off" push mail.

Thanks Nathan. As I understand it, that is for international roaming.
I spend a lot of time in the Adirondacks, where I am roaming in the sense that I am using an AT&T "partner network," and two consecutive months of off-network domestic roaming in excess of their pretty stingy allotment can get you terminated, so I wish EDGE could be disabled there too, but it can't.
So next best is to disable all but one heavily filtered email account and stay away from widgets and web sites [g].

How can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?

how can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?
I know the password, but don't seem to be able to turn off the feature.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?
Edit: I see you found the solution the Software board in this thread: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&thread.id=13064

HT3577 How can I turn off the text editing feature on an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.x - when my Mom taps the phone, it always brings up copy. It does not do this for me so I am assuming it is the way her disability forces her fingers to hit the screen.

My Mom has tremors and when she uses her iPhone and taps to select, the way she hits the keyboard causes the copy selection to appear. It is not an issue with her phone because it does not do this for me. I would like to shut off the double tap feature. I have already tried Settings/General/Accessibility/Home speed typing = slowest.

The editing menu doesn't come up when you double tap. It comes up when you press and hold. It can't be turned off.

Can I turn off the retina display feature on the new MacBook Pro?

Hello,
I recently got the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I love how fast this machine performs, it's weight and thickness.
However, working in Advertisement, this machine's made my line of work a bit too pixelated. There are no websites optimized for this new display, making portfolios hard to see as the retina screen makes things blurry and fussy looking. Not only that, but non of the Adobe products are ready for this technology either. It's hard to open a piece of software you'd like to design with and work with pixelated tools (photoshop among others).
I can do without the Ethernet port, optical drive and the lack of a locking system for this machine. But, making things uglier on the web isn't something I'm willing to sacrifice since is my line of work. Any idea of a third party that can turn this feature off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, this beauty is going back to the Apple store.

sorry, but the 2880x1800 is hardware; in fact what makes non-optimized sites look (relativly) ugly is that to upscale the graphics to the apparent resolution of everything else each pixel is represented by 4 pixels, and as you know being in graphics, upscaling pictures is generally results in ugly.
Back to my point, there's no software to make the display lose 75% of its pixels; you'll either have to use another machine and/or wait for sites to optomize their graphics for the retina displays...which may or may never happen depending on the sites awareness/closeness with Apple's technology

How can I turn off the share link feature from the 'open link' menu?

Longpressing a link in firefox opens a menu.
I want to remove the "share link" thing from this menu, as that is something I'd NEVER do.
It's highly intrusive and gets in the way with it's "prime" position at the top of the list.
Couldn't find any flag in about:config or anywhere. Going to take a look at google-chrome now, see if that thing is better. I'll miss adblock.

Hi t.rei,
Thank you for your feedback. Please also include this in input.mozilla.org where the User Advocacy team lobbies features from gathered feedback.

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.

I can't turn off the mute feature

For some reason I can't get sound on my MAC Book Pro. In System Preference, Sound. I can't get the Mute button to uncheck.

There are two ways that your location can be determined. One is thru the Geo-Location feature, which uses WiFi signals on mobile devices; doesn't work on desktop computers unless you have a wireless card installed. Geo-Location can be turned off in Firefox.
The other is by the IP Address for your connection, that can't be turned off in Firefox. You would need to use a Proxy server / service to act as the intermediary connection to hide your true IP Address. It would be easier to use Adblock Plus and just hide those advertisements, then to mess with using a Proxy, IMO.
Not going to be much different with other browsers.
