Elitebook 8570w - Windows 7 - How to turn off light when touchpad disabled

I much prefer to use the styk rather than the touch pad, and I lay my hands on the computer in such a way that I can accidentally trigger the touch pad when it is on. So with laptops I usually just go to the device manager and disable the touch pad entirely.
However, on my Elitebook 8570w, when I disable the touch pad, this extremely bright orange light comes on. It's extremely annoying, especially in low light situations, where I often have to work with my laptop.
How can I disable this light while the touchpad is disabled?

So what happens if you go to each of your posts here on ASC with this account (assuming you only have one) and click the Stop Email Notifications button in the upper right hand corner? Is it grayed out for all of your posts?

How to turn off sound when taking a video

How to turn off sound when taking a video

debrafromusa,
This would be an extremely bad idea, the start up tone is there for a reason. It tells you when your system is attempting to boot, it is also necessary in the even resets like a PRAM reset are done. There is software to mask the sound however as stated it is a very poor idea.
Also, why turn it off. Why not simply put the display to sleep when the machine is not in use. You can easily do that in System Preferences - Energy Saver

How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
cheers
knatterton

Hey! I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running. Now that option isn't there anymore! Can I revert to the previous version of iCal? I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations! I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget. I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but... This is REALLY annoying.

How to turn off iphone when display issue

Hold down power and home together. When the screen goes dark, let go. It should be powered off. If you continue holding them until the Apple appears, it will re-boot.

How to turn off measurements when using the line tool

Hello. I'm sorry to trouble you with this small thing but its driving me nuts. I'm using a shared computer at a university and we just upgraded to CS6. When I use the line tool while making a mask a box pops up which measures the line's length and angle. I want to turn it off, and it blocks being able to see what I am trying to mask. I've tried looking this up online and in Photoshop help but I just don't know the correct terminolgy, i.e. what to call it, to find out how to turn it off. Thank you so much so much for any help!
here is a jpg screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/njena5x9ppajzqq/linetool.jpg

That looks like the on-image displays that were added to photoshop cs6
You should be able to turn that off in Photoshop>Preferences>Interface>Show Transformation Values and set Never as the value.

How to turn off validation when creating XMLType

Hi all,
I have XML data stored in a CLOB field in a relational table. When generating an XMLType from the CLOB input I get the following error on certain XML documents only:
select XMLTYPE.CREATEXML(CLOB_DATA)
into XML_Type1
from LOGS
where ID = 32;
ERROR:
ORA-01001: invalid cursor
ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
I eventually figured out that the 'object' referred to is the xsd against which the XML doc must be validated. This happens for documents which have the attribute xsi:schemaLocation="http:/myURI myxsd.xsd".
My question is how do I prevent the parser from trying to reference the XSD when generating the XMLType.
The following does not work:
select XMLTYPE.CREATEXML(CLOB_DATA).createNonSchemaBasedXML()
into XML_Type1
from LOGS
where ID = 32;
Please help.
Thanks
Abdul

You might try specifying a null schema with:
XMLTYPE.CREATEXML(xmlData => yourdata, schema => null)
Failing that the validated & wellformed parameters default to zero, setting one of them to 1 may turn off the validation.
If neither of the above work I'd be selecting into a CLOB and creating the XMLTYPE in my code.

How to turn off NVIDIA when on battery?

Hi Folks,
I have the Optimus thing, and the NVIDIA chip is staying active when I'm on battery (as verified by NVGPUStateViewer64). Is there any way to have it automatically turn off when I'm on battery, or are apps that were attached to NVIDIA while plugged in keeping NVIDIA awake when I switch to battery? Any thoughts?
Thanks!
T410 2516-CTO
Optimus: NVS 3100M + Intel HD (most recent optimus driver installed)
Win 7 Pro x64 SP1

I think the point is that there are programs using the NVIDIA chip. In my case, when I go on battery, firefox.exe and mediamonkey.exe are still using the NVIDIA processor.
Of course, it would be nice to be able to kick those processes off the NVIDIA chip and onto the Intel HD chip (like switchable graphics used to do), but sounds like that might not be possible to do automatically (and I'm definitely not going to hunt around for applications using NVIDIA each time I unplug the computer).
Any ideas, or are those of us with Optimus stuck with an NVIDIA processor sucking our battery power?
thanks!

How to turn off mouse (or touchpad) scrolling when running vim in an xterm?

Just updated 13" macbook pro (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Yosemite (10.10.1). Previously, when running vim in an xterm, scrolling with the touchpad did nothing inside vim, it just scrolled the xterm history back so I could see what I had done before executing vim. Now, the same scrolling action (either with touchpad or with an external mouse with scrollwheel) moves the cursor position inside vim (if I'm in navigate mode). I want to turn this feature off. I'm sure some people like it but I do not. Anyone know whether this is something to be blocked by vim settings, or perhaps something in the xterm settings I need to change? Vim version is 7.3 (2010 Aug 15), which must be a slightly later version than I had under the original operating system, since I got it July 2010.
I've tried modifying various vim settings, but to no effect. I haven't found a comprehensive list of such settings to try systematically.

While I do not have Yosemite up and running at the moment, I cannot actually play with Yosemite Terminal.app. But you should at least look through the various Terminal -> Preferences to see if there is any configuration option that is telling the Terminal how to treat scroll operations. And try things like changing the "Declare terminal as: ............." setting, as that may affect the Terminfo database entry, which Vim uses to decide on what it does with various keyboard escape keys for input as well as displaying output (not sure if that would affect scrolling input, but it is worth a shot).
Instead of using X11 and xterm, consider giving iTerm a try. I have been using as my terminal emulator for years, and at work I live in terminal sessions, ssh'ed into various Linux, Solaris, AIX platforms.
<http://iterm2.com> A newer version
<http://iterm.sourceforge.net> an older but still viable version (I used this on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 system)
iTerm will give you Tabbed windows just like Terminal (actually had Tabbed windows years before Terminal.app). It will allow you to define what a double-click selection thinks is a word. It has an option to automatically load anything selected into the copy/paste buffer.
NOTE: I have nothing against X11 and xterm. I also use X11 (XQuartz) all day as well as terminal sessions, with various Linux, Solaris, AIX X11 displays being sent back to my iMac at work, frequently using gvimdiff.
