Dock question: Can I turn off the expansion/condensing effects of Fan and Grid view?

Hi!
Can I turn off the Dock menu expansion/condensing animations related to Fan and Grid view (and the condensing effect of List view)? I find the expansion/condensing animations slow and detracting from an efficient workflow. I would rather have menus pop up immediately so I can instinctively move the mouse cursor where I can anticipate a file to be located once grid/fan view window launches, rather than have to track the expansion animation with the mouse cursor so that I can select the desired file once it lands in its fixed position.
Is there any known backdoor way to cease these showboating animations?
For the dock to be such a major addition to the Mac OS (when compared to OS 9), I am surprised that there isn't greater customization for it. Speaking of which, why can't we have the option of having more than one dock, for example? I would like to have one mounted to the bottom of my screen for applications, but also have one on the left of my screen for commonly-accessed files and folders.
I am all for stock settings that help to streamline features for users as a baseline, but the more tweakable options the better. I pay a premium for Apple products; who are they to tell me I can have only one dock?! ;p
I've taken a look at Docker and Deeper, but neither delivered the goods. Thanks so much!
P.S. I am still using Snow Leopard. I haven't heard of new dock options for Lion, so please clarify if I am missing out on a Lion innovation.
Thanks again!

Take a look at Secrets, OnyX, or Tinker Tools. All of those have various undocumented preference settings that affect various animations.

Can I turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills at once?

I am using iMovie 09. I am creating a slideshow. I want to turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills. Is there a way to do this in one operation?
Mary Lou

Yes. Select one still. Open the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool on the middle Toolbar. Set it to FIT (for letterboxing) or to CROP (for it to fill the screen, but cut off the top and bottom). This will turn off Ken Burns.
Now select the photo you just adjusted and EDIT/COPY (or Command-C).
Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL (or Command-A) to select all photos.
Finally, click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP ADJUSTMENTS to apply to all photos.

How can I turn off the ken burns effect on iMovie? If I crop the picture it still persists!

How can I turn off the Moving/Zoom effect on my photod?

When i insert a photo in my project the image keeps moving up and down and zooming in. I want it to stay still.
How do I turn this effect off?
My iMovie version is 10.0.6

Hello Victor,
What you are referring to is the Ken Burns effect. To turn that off, take a look at the article below and change the view from Ken Burns to either Cropped to Fill or Fit and it will not do the zoom in and out that you are referring to.

How can I turn off the password remember question?

How can I turn off the password remember question? I never use this option on my laptop, as that would not be secure. And on sites with their own "stay logged in" feature, Safari's password memory sometimes interferes. Is there any way to stop Safari from asking me if I want to remember passwords, or am I stuck saying Never for this Site on every site I visit?

Password autofill can be secure or insecure, depending on how you use the computer, but if you want to disable it, select from the menu bar
Safari > Preferences > AutoFill
and uncheck the box marked User names and passwords.

How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

Dear Colleagues,
I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
Now we need to develop our own security module.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

hi,

calls.
2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
api/ur api..

Hi,
You may not have a wireless network adapter.
If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

Satellite A660 How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.
However bothers me is the lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
In Bios I could turn off the led illumination, but the power on/off button is still lighting,that distracts me when i am working.
This notebook has two power LED, so the power on lighting is in my opinion, unnecessary.
My question is: How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Here you can see the LED with the same function in front of you: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/t009aae62jpg.jpg
Yes in fact, the difference is color, design, but also location and brightness of the LED.
For me, this LED is too bright and it is distracting in the dark, as you can see here: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/leddf570760jpg.jpg
I was today at a local electronics store, and saw that Toshiba has the brightest Power LED on A660, but why it must be placed under the LCD and not in the front as in my old notebook Toshiba A210.
I also had the idea with a tape, but it would look ugly, and it must be removable without residue.
P.S. Also the fingerprints on the glossy keyboard do not look nice.

How can I turn off the images of avatars that post...

how can I turn off the images of avatars that post in this forum? they are annoying.

I think the avatar pictures help a lot to visually tell apart the different users participating. Pictures are way quicker to discern than user names are.
Do you want them removed because they distract you or you find certain ones disturbing (You can easily flag those to the moderation team)?

Your question really has nothing to do with AirPort networking and the products that we support in this forum.....the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule pictured below:

Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories?

Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories with the iPad?

You cannot overcharge the battery when using the power adapter. Once the battery is fully charged, the iPad will no longer continue to charge if it is still connected. I leave my iPad on the power adapter for hours on end - on weekends when I am not at work.
iPad - Charging the Battry
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
About the iPad Battery
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
These are both worthwhile reading for concerns about the battery and how to properly maintain it.
I know nothing about external speakers with the iPad since I do not use them - but If the speaker is with a dock of some sort that charges the iPad - you should have no worries. If it is a dock that charges the iPad - I know of no way to turn off the charging feature, but it will not shorten the life of the battery anyway as long as the battery is properly maintained and cared for.

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

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
