How can I disable Messenger Chat in v8.0? Or, at the least, say I'm offline so that some bimbo won't be wanting to talk to me every time I start Yahoo mail?
Sorry, I somehow mis-posted this under Mail Filters the first time.

I'm in Yahoo Mail v8.0. Options > Messenger Options offers four sub-menus: General, Appearance, Privacy, and Other. None of them offer an option to turn it off...which is ''exactly'' what I would love to be able to do!
If I choose Options > Mail Options, I can likewise find nothing under it to disable Messenger. Earlier I could simply choose Offline and not be bothered by it. These days, though, FF changes versions faster than I change underwear. If I'm just missing it in either option menu, I'll surely apologize.
Any other thoughts?

Since updating Firefox as suggested, when I 'save as' a jpeg, it automatically finds the folder and it's always the wrong folder. How can I disable this feature and go back to the original mode where it remains in the folder I choose until I change it?

For example, I saved a jpeg named 'picasso the guitarist'. I have folders titled A to Z. When I click 'save as' it might open the 'K' folder and I have to manually search the 'P' folder for 'Picasso' and save file. The most irritating thing is, when I 'save as' another jpeg of say 'pieter mother & child' it goes to another folder and does not remain in the 'P' folder, rather it goes to the 'X' folder or some other. This didn't happen before the last upgrade. Can I disable this new 'help' feature that is taking more time than the old version?

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

How can I disable my MobileMe account as sender in the iOS Mail app?

Ever since I logged on to iCloud in OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.0, 10.8.1), I've noticed that in Gmail (using the Mail app for iOS), on my iPhone running iOS 5.1.1, the sender appears to be my MobileMe account (an account I had to use a while back when I first got started using iCloud, but haven't actually used).
Besides flooding my iCloud account mail information with sent mail and the fact that I don't want people associating my email address with the wrong address, it's very annoying that when I choose my regular Gmail address as the sender mail, the next time I send an email, the MobileMe address is the default address yet again.
The problem persists even though I have:
Disabled the iCloud email account (@me.com) in the Mail app in OS X Mountain Lion (the OS in which, by all accounts—no pun intended—it all started).
Disabled iCloud to use and sync Mail.
This is the settings for Gmail in Mountain Lion, in which disabling Mail and the MobileMe account for use, should be the only email address associated with my iCloud account (excepts it obviously isn't as MobileMe is tied to my AppleID for whatever purpose Apple saw fit back in the day):
I saw a thread here discussing the posibility of deleting the iCloud account on the iPhone, powering it off and then, when powered back on, simply signing in again with iCloud. I'm nor sure this is a "solution" as much as a way around something I cannot understand is happening in spite of the changed I have made already.
Surely, someone must be able to tell me what I can do to simply not have my @me.com email address set to the default From address in Mail in iOS. Other than that, I have no real problem with the @me email address being used, at all.
It's just so annyoing when trying to send a quick reply to a colleague or something.
Please discuss below.

I feel funny replying to myself; I cannot remove this discussion and at any rate, I guess if someone else has this problem, they'll be pleased it has not been deleted.
So, I managed to fix this all on my own. Obviously the difficulty-level is about as low as it gets:
After updating to iOS 6 last night, I was playing around in the settings of my phone, when I came across this, the iCloud for Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calandars > Accounts > iCloud:
All I had to do was to turn Mail off. This leaves the Cc/Bcc, From field empty in my phone's Mail app--just the way I wanted it!

How can I remove private browsing as an option on the Firefox Menu? My kids use this computer and I don't want them to be able to private browse.

I want to remove the Firefox menu option for Private Browsing because my kids and teenagers use this computer. How can I do that? Private Browsing cannot be an option for my children. If I cannot remove it, is my only option to remove Firefox altogether?

This is new. Read carefully the section "About this Add-on". Not 100%, but there is no real way to totally take PB out of Firefox; that is also the case for other browsers that have a similar feature, as far as I know:

How can I get round problem with itunes. I get message saying computer isnt authorised to play some tracks Ive downloaded, tells me to authorise which I do, then a message appears saying the computer is already authorised but I still cant access the track

how can I get round the problem I have with itunes. I have bought and downloaded various tracks to my library. When I try to sync my iphone from my PC I get a message on screen saying that it is not authorised to play them and tells me to authorise the computer by clicking store, entering apple id and password then clicking authorise this computer. I do that then get a message saying that my computer is already authorised yet when I try syncing the track again the same thihng happens. Im getting nowhere!

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How can I disable a PCI or USB device (including the video card)?

Hi
I'd like to save some power and reduce the heat of my fanless barebone (an atom-based arctic mc001, see here;
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B005DL6 … 5DL6V8G%22
It consumes 25W idle, and gets a bit hot.
So I'd like to disable some of the devices I don't use.
For instance:
- the internal wifi dongle (appears in lsusb)
- the internal TNT tuner (appears in lsusb)
- the internal DVD drive
- the internal radeon graphic card
For all of these devices, I do a "echo 1 > unbind" in sysfs, for the correct devices.
After that, all these devices seem 'disconnected' IE they no t not appear anymore in lsusb or lspci (for the radeon)
I also put the USB ports in 'auto' power mode
After that, the devices do not generate any IRQs or wakeups anymore, according to powertop...
But the power consumption does not decrease a lot... less that 1W...
So I wonder if the fact to unbind the devices really disconnects them or not.
Especially for the radeon... shouldn't I underclock it as much as possible instead? If so, how?
Thanks for your help.
Eric

I can't really help you much but to give you a warning. underclocking/undervolting too much can damage a video card without your knowledge, if your going to underclock it make sure you do stabilty tests. Your also gonna need it for any graphics environment you may want if your processor doesn't have one, unless your going command line only. you can try seeing if disabling it with rf-kill does anything. you can also use iwconfig to turn on power saving on your wifi-card, and try adjusting your cpu scaling as well. logically I would'nt worry about the dvd if heat is our concern a dvd drive in standby is proably not going to be throwing off a lot of heat or use very much power.. the big players are probably going to be your cpu, gpu and maybe that wifi card I know when mine is in use it just drains the battery with out power-saving. as for the tuner I have no idea. I hope this post can give you some ideas and maybe move you in the right direction. I can't garentee that all of this is accurate, some of it is logical assumptions. just trying to throw out some ideas to help a fellow arch -linuxer

How can I disable (not hide) the Boomarks Toolbar?

I have installed the "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus 1.2" extension. In the Firefox customize toolbars box I dragged the Firefox bookmarks toolbar to the right of my home button instead of where it normally is. I then Right-clicked on the toolbar and unticked "Bookmarks Toolbar".
However whenever I restart Firefox the toolbar re-appears. How can I disable it from appearing?

My extensions don't work on Firefox 12 so that doesn't help me.
I should also point out that if I format my hard drive and re-install Windows and Firefox 5 then I don't get this problem but that's a lot of hassle.
I only get this problem when I install a new version of Firefox when I already have a previous version installed.
So before installing the new version I uninstalled Firefox and selected the option to delete my settings. I then checked my profile folder to make sure nothing was there. I then reinstalled Firefox again and all the same extensions with the same settings as before and I still get this problem.
So it's quite disturbing that I deleted all traces of Firefox yet I get this problem again which makes me think that not everything was deleted.

How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone?

How can I disable Text Messaging on my Iphone -- so I do not receive any texts. I do not have nor currently want an AT&T text plan, and I really don't want to be charged .20 for the text messages that will inevitably be sent my way from friends & coworkers who do not know I don't want texts.
AT&T had a link only for blocking spam texts, but I don't think this will stop standard SMS texts.
Anyone do this? Does this involve a call to AT&T. There must be a way to disable it, no?
Thanks in advance!

You would have to ask AT&T if they can turn off your text capabilities.

How can I disable iMessages history?

How can i disable iMesage history? Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.

Hi,
Messages still uses the com.apple.ichat.plist (and the other ones that had iChat in them for the accounts)
The two new ones for iMessages (com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist) only hold the server info on one and the Apple ID and the Aliases you use with it in the other.
I have not discovered anything in any of the .plists that deal with how the "history' is saved (other than whether Chats are Saved on Closure).
In previous versions of iChat there have been hints at MacOSXHints that do various things such as this one that changes the order of the Info when Selecting iTunes Playing as th Status Message
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20050610163358263
To use it in Messages you have to change the iChatAgent bits to IMAgent.
I did search their site for 10.8 and Messages but found nothing that related to doing anything with the Saving or History of chats and conversations.
I don't work for Apple.
My "knowledge" is centered around iChat and Messages, which I have been posting about since 2004.

How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup
