Cannot turn off scroll lock on Macbook Pro

Have read all of the discussions on this topic and tried every proposed resolution, - none work: Cannot enter data or move between cells in Excel for MAC.
- shift+fn+f12, plus every suggested combination of shift +/or fn +/or cmd + soft keys
- there is no keyboard/scroll icon anywhere in the Excel window
- checked fn box in system preferences for keyboard
- have no f14 key and no external keyboard
This just occurred, so I must have accidentally locked it via keystrokes, which implies there's a keystroke combo to undo it. I appreciate any help - thank you!

I had this happen to me today and like you tried every possible combination of keystroke. I restarted my Macbook Pro and this solved the problem.

Can't turn off scroll lock Mac Book Pro Excel

Suddenly cannot move through cells or enter data in Excel for MAC. Have read all of the discussions on this topic - shift+fn+f12 don't work or any of the other suggested combinations, I have no F14 key or external keyboard, set up keyboard preferences to run fn keys, and there is no scroll lock or keyboard icon in the excel window - nothing works. I somehow turned this on, probably via a keystroke, so I must be able to turn it off - how? I appreciate your help - thank you!

Problem solved. When naming the droplet in the where to save dialog, make you you put a .app at the end of it.
Now works perfect.

Turn off scroll lock

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and cannot turn off scroll lock, so when using Excel the arrow keys move the spreadsheet rather than the next cell. I have searched numerous threads and all refer to F14 plus either shift or command but I can't find any reference to the shortcut for F14.

Hi,
I had the same problem (Macbook Air) and the only way I could solve it was by plugging in a USB keyboard (it was a microsoft keyboard) then pressing shift-Scroll Lock.
Simply pressing Scroll-Lock only activated the keyboard illumination control so did not work.

Cannot turn off passcode lock on ipad ios 7.0.3

I am unable to turn off passcode lock on an iPad running IOS7.0.3. When I get to the screen in Settings > General > Passcode Lock, "Turn Passcode Off" is greyed out and cannot be used. Hence I am stuck with having to enter a passcode even though I don't want to any longer. The problem is not that I do not know the passcode, simply that I can't turn off the passcode lock. Any thoughts?

is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

How do I turn off auto-correct on Macbook Pro?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I want to be able to turn off the auto-correct. It does it in every program and sometimes it puts in the wrong word. It is terribly annoying. Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text tab > uncheck "correct spelling automatically".

Cannot turn off Passcode Lock

This started happening suddenly. It always asks for a passcode now. I cannot disable it in Settings. Another feature that's disabled is "erase all data after 4 failed attempts." Yikes! I have the iPhone 3GS, updated to iOS4 a while ago and it had been working fine until now. Tried restarting but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

try going to your iphone summary page on itunes after you have plugged your phone in. Right in the middle there is a restore tab where you can put your phone back to original settings, after that u can then put the new os4 system back on. good luck

Turning off Opportunistic Locking in Windows 2012 Server?

I have recently switched my database hosting and am having trouble with "Hour Glass" for about 20-30 seconds when trying to save files. I have contacted my application company (Resumate..........database,CRM built on an ACCESS type platform)
and we are brainstorming solutions.
One solution is to turn off opportunistic locking as Windows might actually be locking the file (We have five users using the same file connecting using Remote Desktop Services). Our system has worked seemlessly with our other hosting
option but this delay when trying to save files is not acceptable.
SO, HOW DO WE TURN OFF OPPORTUNISTIC LOCKING IN WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2?
Thanks Phil H. Charlotte, NC

Hi,
As you may notice that we cannot disable Opportunistic locking in using SMB2 or SMB3.
See:
https://login.live.com/kb/296264/en-us
The opportunistic locking registry keys are valid only for traditional SMB (SMB1). You cannot turn off opportunistic locking for SMB2.
From your description it is the limitation of the application - SMB2 comes with Windows Vista /Windows 2008, which means the vendor of the application did not recommend to use SMB2 or the application is released for earlier systems while SMB2 is not available
at that time.
If there is no update version, you can try to disable SMB2/3 on server to workaround it. Please run this cmdlet:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false
More information please refer to:
How to enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

Is there a way to turn the GPS on my MacBook Pro off?

How do I turn the GPS on my MacBook Pro off? Everytime I log onto iCloud to find my iPhone it pops up too.

Your MBP does not have GPS. iCloud is locating your machine by getting gelocation information from the IP address,

HT1212 iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

No. I would never take an iPhone to anyone other than Apple unless there was no alternative. You can get the display replaced on an iPhone 5 at most Apple stores for $149. If there's more damage, it will cost $229 for a full replacement. Both prices assuming you don't have AppleCare+.
As I said, taking it elsewhere forfeits your ability to ever get it serviced by Apple. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All the parts you will find are either salvaged from damaged phones or counterfeit.
If the phone is at all functional, you may be able to plug it into a computer and extract the photos and videos from the camera roll.

You've got it open with some application, either iTunes or in a browser window. Exit out of that application.

hi FalconMom,
EWS stands for Embedded Web Server. You will be able to access the printer EWS if it is connected to the same network as your PC or notebook. Here are the instructions to connect to EWS.
Open the embedded Web server
You can access the embedded Web server via either the network or Wi-Fi Direct.
To open the embedded Web server via network
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address for the
printer can be found by pressing the Wireless icon or by printing a network configuration page.
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the printer. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser:
http://192.168.0.12.
To open the embedded Web server using Wi-Fi Direct
From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch (Settings).
If the display shows that Wi-Fi Direct is Off, touch Wi-Fi Direct and then switch it on.
From your wireless computer, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wi-Fi Direct name,
for example: DIRECT-**- HP Officejet-5740 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
printer). Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the following address: http://192.168.223.1.

I decided to remote lock my Macbook Pro from Find My iPhone. It's been three weeks and still no lock.

About three weeks ago, I was sitting in class, got bored, and decided that I'd try and see what would happen if I locked my Macbook Pro (17-inch 2.66 GHz on 10.8.2, early 2009) from Find My iPhone. I'm concerned because my Mac has never locked, despite being used daily, on a variety of networks, including buying from iTunes, and using Messages. I've turned off the computer multiple times since, and I really can't think of any other scenarios that I'd have to go through to get the Mac connected to Find My Mac. Is there anything I can do or is this just an oversight by Apple?

I think this is what you're saying, but I'm not sure:
You had turned on Find My Mac on your MacBook Pro in System Preferences > iCloud.
Then (while in class) you did a Find My Mac from your iPhone. Presumably you did indeed see it pop up on a map there in its correct location. You then sent a "lock" command which never took effect. Further, you received an email confirmation that the lock commend actually got sent.
Is that right?

Turning off portrait lock mode on my iphone5

I cannot turn off the portrait lock mode on my iphone5. I went to the apple support sites and everyone says to double click home button, then scroll until I find the icon (lock with an arrow circling around it) and that icon is NOWHERE to be found. I see every other icon for various other apps etc. but not this one. Is there another way? I am perplexed. HELP!

Swipe UP from the bottom edge of the screen to see the Control Center, tap the top right icon next to the Crescent to lock/unlock screen orientation.
