Does anyone know how to stop the mouse from clicking on its own?

The curser is moving all over the screen, clicking, selecting, opening new tabs, and I'm not touching the trackpad. No external mouse connected. This started three days ago. It works fine while not on the internet. Once online, it begins.

Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard report to xml?

Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard SAP report to xml?

since it a standard report which you cannot modify you can only do the following.
submit report exporting list to memory
then
list from memory and then
use the returned itab along with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to convert to xml.
but this only going to place the whole list content (including data and formating lines,etc) into a xml element and not the actual data alone in the list .

Does anyone know how to stop the "frequently visited websites" box from popping up when doing a search in Safari?

Hi,
I just upgraded to Yosemite and Safari is now showing a frequently visited websites box right below the address bar when I start to type something in it. Does anyone know how to deactivate this box? Its rather irritating.
Thx

Uncheck the box beside "Show Favorites".
I haven't tested this long enough to say that this works always.
Best.
Yup, that works.

Does anyone know how to make the mouse motion just NORMAL?

Hi folks. Alright I am a new but I love my Mac. The one thing I just can't get past is the feel of the way the mouse works. It is tooooo smooth. I feel like when i go slow with the motion, it covers less ground as I move, then when I speed up my motion, it feels more in time with the motion. I realize this is pretty hard to explain but does anyone know what i am talking about? Sure it is more precise but I really hate it. Help?

David DeCristof:
I have been looking for a solution to this for quite some time, and I want to personally thank you for using a little humility to recognize that no, Macs don't behave the same way as other (not just Windows) graphical user interfaces when it comes to the mouse pointer.
I downloaded and purchased (well worth the funds for me) "USB Overdrive" and now I have a pointer that moves around the screen like I'm moving my hands around the screen. So natural this way. So thank you very much for mentioning those haxies or preference applets or whatever you want to call them.
Now my Mac is 10 times better!!!
As an old Amiga user, and then Windows user, it has been so disorienting to work around the desktop with Mac OS's non-customizable motion preferences. It often had left me asking myself just what part of the OS is "more friendly?" Sure, it's a rock solid OS, but friendly? C'mon.....Sheesh...You mean after I find a THIRD PARTY HAXIE to make it that way?
Well, now I have nothing to complain about.
By the way, my Speed setting is at 160 dpi, and the Accelertaion is set at 90%, in USB Overdrive. And this feels just right for me.
Now if only I could make my pointer WHITE instead of BLACK, (yes I guess I'm racist...) and make it about four times bigger without making it look like a lego...

Anyone know how to stop the slideshow from looping?

Does anyone know which file to edit in order to stop the slideshow from looping? Where the code would be or, what code to add.
I am not aware of a setting from within iweb itself.
I assumed it was the slideshow.js file but I didn't find anything in there.
Such as a loop "true"
HELP

That worked great.
I assume what we are doing is copying and editing the
.mac slideshow file,
and then pointing to it's location in the folder. How
Yes, that's exactly it.
did you know what the code would be? I guess you must
be very Java savy, because it definetly wasn't an
obvious one.
It took me two days to reverse engineered dot mac slideshow
Is there a way to get the slideshow window to close
after it's finished? What I get is a freeze frame on
the last photo of the show.
I know you gonna ask that yes, change the added line in slideshow.js to this:
if (count == ((imgs.length) - 1)) { this.pause(); setTimeout("window.close()", 5000); }; // close window after 5 sec, change 5000 to whatever you like.

Does anyone know how to stop my monitor from blacking out?

I am getting annoyed that my monitor keeps blacking out on IDLE! Ahh! It does not sleep or power off, I suppose. Just goes black and then comes back alive on a mouse move. This is a desktop.
Here is what I have set off:
Power Management Preferencess in System Menu = Sleep is set to NEVER
in gconf-editor for gnome-power-manager:
ac_dpms_sleep_method: off
ac_sleep_display: 0
dim_on_idle: UNCHECKED

haha. how do i stop this damn blacking out?!?!? Thanks.
(i was able to disable it in Ubuntu with similar steps, although I only think it 'slept' on that distro. Not blacked out)

Does anyone know how to sync the playlists from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library?

I have playlists on my iPod that I have either made on my iPod or have stayed on there from a previous computer, but now I would like to put them on my computer in my iTunes library but I can't figure out how. With the old iTunes it would just sync up to my computer and tehy would be there but now they aren't. There are also some playlists that are on my iPod but don't show up when I plug in the device. I wanted those ones on my computer too... Help!! (I have an iPod touch by the way.)

Sorry about that, try this link, http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/02/transfer-playlist-from-ios-to-itunes/

Does anyone know how to stop the MOTU midi express xt sync port from sendin

Hi everyone,
The MOTU MIDI Express XT has 7 IN ports and 8 OUT ports. The missing 8th port seems to be a sync. Therefore, there must be some way of switching this off using a MOTU driver. However, I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm trying to use my new 02R mixer as a control surface in Logic. However, Logic cannot learn the command because the sync message (sync port) always interferes with the 'learn' process.
Thank you for your help,
Andrew

Andrew-
I am experiencing the same issue with MOTU MTP AV (usb version). This is interfering with assigning MIDI control features. Did you find a way to mute the SYNC PORT of the MOTU device either using Clockworks or directly in LOGIC? If so, what was your solution? Can anyone else chime in? I looked in the environment and didn't see anything like a PORT MUTE feature. Also, will muting the sync port on the MOTU have any side effects?
Thanks,
Alex

Does anyone know how to remove the annoying audio clicks embedded in transitions?

It appears that all transitions in iMovie '11 are accompanied by a short "click" embedded within the transition. Is there any way to tell iMovie to remove those clicks?
(One can see the audio peak when using the precision editor, but volume adjustment is not available in the precision editor, or for transitions in the time line editor...)

Oops. My mistake. The clicks were in the portion of the soundtrack contained within the transition. IMovie does not allow editing of sound that is contained within a transition. The solution to my problem was to delete the transition, edit the sound track to remove the clicks, then add the transition once again.
Voilá, the clicks are gone.

Does anyone know how to stop spam coming from outlook?

Yea so that didn't work for me
Sorry it didn't work. Let's try something else.
The runaway process has something to do with Apple Type Services. I assume that "genatsdb" means something along the lines of "generate ATS database". So perhaps the issue is not indexing PDFs (which would be Spotlight calling on ATS), but your font collections themselves.
So, first, I'd read Kurt Lang's paper on managing fonts
<http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
Then I'd prune my font collection of all possibly dubious or defect fonts, after which I'd follow the instructions on completely removing all font caches. And then, test again…

Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
I tried to uninstall the application but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
Thanks for your help.

HT3986 Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard? Many Thanks

Hi All
Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
Many Thanks

Holy crap, this fixes the issue. At least temporarily it has. I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along. I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago. Thank you, tbirdvet. You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.
