Hi there! How can I disable auto refresh in Safari 4.0.4?

I find the auto refresh of websites irritating. Sites even refresh while viewing an imbedded video, forcing you to restart the vid.
Some sites specifically: Drudgereport.com & Instapundit.com
Thanks for any help offered!
Jim in Guam

Sadly this did not fix the problem. Also having turned JavaScript off, trying it out, and reverting to JavaScript back on, now videos don't play in Safari. Also, I asked for info on Safari 4.0.4, which should have been 5.1.5.
Thanks for the effort in any event!
Jim

How can I disable the tabs in safari on the ipad2

How can I disable the tabs on safari on my ipad2. I hate the tabs!!!

You can't, Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll get the choice of tabs or thumbnail/paged browsing : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
In the meantime I think that the (free) Opera browser and the iCab Mobile browser in the app store offer thumbnail browsing to some degree.

How can I stop auto refreshing a new web page in XP immediately after its opened?

In XP, once I access a new web page Firefox auto refreshes that page once the page is ~80-90% opened - how can i stop this refresh?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

How can I disable auto-saving for Adobe CC?

Adobe CC is creating file versions automatically. How can I disable this option?

1. New file versions saved automatically by the software — i.e. Photoshop
My file
cover_classic_v1_2
Software generated versions
cover_classic_v1_2-2015-01-30_19-40-52-866
cover_classic_v1_2-2015-01-30_17-15-42-667
2. Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign (so far)
3. MAC OSX

How can the browser auto-refresh not be considered a bug?

I have been browsing these forums and I have seen this issue over and over again being discussed and the answer is always "that's not a bug, that's how it works, you can't change or disable it."
Here is the problem. In ios 7, when you are using Safari (or any other browser, I have found), if you exit the browser to do almost anything: your phone rings, you open the camera and take a picture - anything at all - when you return to the browser, the current page will almost always reload itself. Anything you have done on that page, any comment written, any checkboxes checked - everything - will be lost.
This is an important issue for me, because I have written a web application that I use every single day for work. My web application is a 560k page of pure html/javascript (no third party or plugin content at all, I wrote it all by hand) with about another 80k worth of graphics (buttons). You load the page and javascript functions move you from div to div, with different sets of checkboxes in each div (there are some 87 such divs in the page). At the end of this process, you click a button to finish your checklist, which will save it to a database and you're done. Unfortunately, this process would never get to the end because of the page constantly refreshing.
So I rewrote the page to save via ajax at each major section (there are 8 major sections). Dividing it up this way meant that all of your work is never lost and that you only have to go back and redo at most one section. When I rewrote it this way and I was still using ios 6, it was only a minor annoyance. I might have to redo a section once or twice a week because of a page refresh. Ever since the upgrade to ios 7 however, it has become a pain again, because now the page refreshes almost every single time. The problem is that while doing this checklist, I have no choice but to go to the camera to take pictures documenting what I am checking boxes about. This switch to the camera and back again almost always forces a page refresh.
It strains credibility to think that a 640k web page has to be cleared out every time you do anything. I have only this page open in the browser, nothing else going on, nothing else loaded, all apps closed - and still, the browser will be force refreshed every time I do anything. The iphone 4s has 512M of memory, so my page occupies 640k of 524288k, or .001% of the available memory. Do you really have to refresh this thing every single time I sneeze?
How can this not be considered a bug, clearing out everything that can be cleared out regardless of what impact it might have on the user experience?
And finally, can anyone at all suggest any kind of a workaround? People have been complaining about this since at least 2008. I'm at my wits end, its making my web app nearly unusable.

OK...after better keyword choices I did find that the 'change location' solution does work, but only if the calendar is first shared with the world, and then has its location changed:
http://www.radbrooksolutions.co.uk/rs/Blog/Entries/2011/5/3_MobileMe_Calendar_Up date_and_PHP_iCalendar.html
Does anyone know if information in public calendars can be found in nefarious ways (like by Google)?
FWIW, I did try sharing privately to just myself, so that I could then subscribe to the calendar on the serving machine and push it out as a .ics file...but I cannot share a calendar with myself. Boooo.

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How can I disable auto-update/save when editing a Bump/Specular/Normal map in 3D?

Im working on a rather large comp, and while triyng to paint on my bump material PSB, the auto-save/update feature is really making the process painstakingly antagonizing. Is there any way to disable this? Note, I am not referring to the general auto-save, this is only in regards to 3D material editing.

If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature. Where do you see your layer being saved?

How can we disable panning gestures in Safari?

Our medical practice uses iPad Airs to allow patients to sign medical forms directly into our EMR via Safari. The problem we're finding is that many of them are having difficulty doing so because they will rest their hand on the glass while signing with the stylus. This results in the page panning around rather than them signing the form. Since a great many of them are elderly, they are having difficulty signing without resting their hand. Is there a way to disable the 2-touch panning effect in Safari? I've tried disabling multi-tasking gestures but it still has no effect.

Hi,

It will sure work.If helpful then reward and close the thread.

How can I disable Toshiba Refresh

Hi All,
I have an issue. I have installed parental controls on a satellite laptop (Windows 8.1) we bought for our young son to do schoolwork. He has figured out that if he refreshes the laptop he can erase the program. Sooo, I am asking if it is possible (and how to do it if possible) to either block his access to the refresh or password protect that option?
Thanks for any help!

Not easily.
I believe you can use Software Restriction Policies to prevent the following file from running. (Scroll down to To configure the trusted publishers policy settings for a local computer.)
C:\Windows\System32\SystemReset.exe
That requires Windows 8.1 Pro, because you need to use the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
Another way is to remove the recovery partition altogether. That can be done with DiskPart.
I have not yet done either of these in Windows 8.
