Can we stop being so arrogant?

Have you noticed how some contributors are in such a race to gain status on the forum that they answer EVERY question, usually with information that is halfway-correct, at best?
Can we possibly drop our arrogance enough to concede that we don't know the answer to every question, and maybe leave it for someone who actually knows?
The forum is for sharing information to HELP PEOPLE... there is NOTHING helpful about incorrect information!

Hey again Techman!   You did a great job in helping that member get that line finally installed underground.   Excellent job my friend.

  • How can I stop being harrased for keychain passwords

    How can I stop being harassed for keychain passwords?  All my key chain passwords and my login are the same. I am asked for address book, calendar, safari, mail, iMessage, just to name a few.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • HT2128 I write webpages and JavaScript files. Can I stop being warned about my own pages when I try to open them?

    Whenever I try to open one of the web pages or JavaScript files I have written, the TextEdit program and every browser will warn me that it was recently downloaded, and is dangerous to open.  It wasn't recently downloaded, I edited the document and saved it.  Can I get the system to recognize my files, and not warn me about them?  I don't mind being warned about other people's work -- it is comforting to know the system is watching out for me.
    I recently upgraded to OS X Lion, and it happens since then.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order.

  • How can I stop being prompted to install REGANAM TOOLBAR at start up?

    Everytime I start Firefox, a window comes up telling me to install REGANAM toolbar. I don't want to install it, but can't seem to avoid the prompt.
    I have gone into the Control Panel of Windows Vista and uninstalled the program, but the prompt lives on.

    1. In your browser menu, select Tools > Add-ons.
    2. Make sure the Extensions tab is selected.
    3. Select the Reganam toolbar.
    4. Click the Uninstall button.

  • How can I stop receiving the support discussions etc.?

    How can I stop being in the apple support community?  Too many messages.

    Hello Gwendolyn,
    Frank's reply will sure solve your immediate problem but to answer your basic question ... you cannot remove yourself from the community (short of the hosts taking extreme action).  Indeed, you should stay with us.  Your current problem arose because you didn't have the benefit of Frank's advice.   Now you have, you can control your reply count.

  • All my contact are being copied to my friend's iphone and i also am getting his contacts on my phone,when i delete a contact it also deletes it from his phone,we are sharing the same apple ID. How can i stop our contacts from being shared between us

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
    Firefox 3.0.17
    Windows XP
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 Firefox/3.0.17

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

  • How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

    Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
    When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
    Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Hi,
    This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
    iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
    Kind regards,
    Andy
    Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

  • Phone and my husbands iphone ring at the same time when only one of us is being called. How can I stop this from happening?

    Both my iphone and my husbands iphone ring at the same time when only one of us is being called. How can I stop this from happening?

    This post has already been answered. Why are you plugging your own site with an answer that has already been given? Not to mention that the information you are handing out is incorrect. There is no bug, there is no patch, and no one needs to delete any email addresses. If you take the time to read the posts with the correct answers, you will see that the solution is totally different than the erroneous one you have posted.

  • How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
    Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

  • Can receive mail but stopped being able to send mail

    I can receive mail on my MacBook Pro, but, after 3:03PM on 9/26/2014 I stopped being able to send mail. I get the follingg dialog box.
    Interestingly enough the data in this dialog box is out of date. My ISP at this location is not Verizon and there is no mention of iCloud. Nonetheless mail has worked without incident at this location for two years. At my office where I have a MacPro (4.1), Verizon is the ISP but, I believe, iCloud is the other listed server. (Im not there right now, so I ca't check). Incoming and outgoing mail work perfectly at that location. Both computers are rurnning OS 10.8.5. I'd appreciate any insight anyone might Have,
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    You can use junk mail filters but setting the criteria can be a problem.
    A very good tool for blocking adware is available from Thomas Reed's site http://www.thesafemac.com Thomas is a regular contributor on ASC and a good helper.
