Can you turn off thumbnails in Finder

Would like to get rid of thumbnail previews in the Finder (they take too long to load), and just have the generic file type icons. Can this be done?
Also, why does the OS have such difficulty distinguishing between Illustrator and Photoshop eps files? Can this be corrected?

might want to consider something other than column view then. I use icon view if I have files that tend to hang the Finder in column view.
That's al I can come up with.. sorry.

    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.

  • Can you turn off color function on HP officiate 6600

    Can you turn off color function on HP officiate 6600 on printer so it will still run without color cartridges?  I just need to print a black and white word document and it won't let me without replacing the color cartridges.

    Hi @justwest,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are wondering if you can turn off the color function on HP officiate 6600 so you can print without color cartridges. I am happy to answer this question for you!
    This particular printer uses some color inks even when printing in black only. If you did run out of color and kept printing black only, you will cause problems with the printhead. FYI,HERE is the user guide to your printer, see page 72. I've also linked page yield information HERE.
    Hope this answers your question, and have a good day!

    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 you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • Can you turn off apps that you've opened so the battery lasts longer?

    With the new upgrade to 7.0.2 can you turn off apps you've opened so the battery lasts longer?

    Two things:
    In iOS 7 to close apps now you double click the Home button, then slide up on the cards for the apps you'd like to close.
    Next, to actually deal with the battery use issue and open apps, you can go to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and turn off the apps you don't care to have working behind the scenes.
