How can I disable mac pro OSX 'spaces' shortcut keys? (i.e. CTL, Right Arrow)

How can I disable mac pro shortcut keys: CTL right arrow, CTL left arrow, CTL up arrow, CTL down arrow? Currently, they take me from one space to another. (OSX 10.6) Goal is to use these shortcuts for text editing.

Hi, Simon.
You can instruct iTunes and iPhoto to save their respective libraries to a different disk, e.g. your second hard drive. You can also move existing libraries for these apps to a drive other than your startup disk.
See the links concerning moving these libraries cited in the "More ways to save space if you have a spare partition or second hard drive" section of my "Freeing Space on your Mac OS X startup disk" FAQ.
Good luck!

  • How can I disable ctrl+alt+del and other keys

    I need help on how to disable some keyboard key combinations (ctrl+alt+del)in particular. Disabling other keyboard keys is equally welcomed.
    Also how can I disable Windows 2000/XP's Task Manager from exposing my running program to be terminated.
    Thanks

    from exposing my running program to be terminated.This can be done by limiting the permissions of the Windows user that you would like to prevent from doing this. The user manager lets you do this.

  • How can I disable developers tools from using function keys?

    Every time I try to use my Quake like console binded to the F12 key, it opens the dev.Tools. How can I disable or even better uninstall dev. Tools.
    I don't want to change the key I use for my console, I want dev.tools to stop bothering me when I'm browsing the web, IT'S DISTURBING!!!
    Most people doesn't need dev tools, just put it as a plugin !!!

    Was eventually able to eliminate this problem by deleting the size entry in the devtools.toolbox.host using about config.
    At least it's invisible now instead of occupying half the page every time I hit F12.

  • How can I connect MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.2 to G3 Lombard (bronze) OSX 10.1.5?

    Can anybody please tell me in simple terms how to connect my MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.2 to my G3 Lombard (bronze keyboard) laptop OS X 10.1.5 so that I can share files. I wish to drag files from the old G3 computer's hard drive into the hard drive of the new MacBook Pro as well as search the old hard drive from the MacBook Pro. I have an ethernet crossover cable as well as regular ethernet cables. Can I connect the computers directly, or should I disconnect my Linksys router from the modem and connect the computers through the router via ethernet?
    I have tried both ways, and failed. However, I think I need clear instructions in how to share under both OS X system versions, to set a file's permissions (in both OS X versions), how to set the firewalls (I have Norton Personal Firewall in the G3 and the OS X firewall in the MacBook Pro), how to see the hard drives of the other computer, and how to set anything else properly, as well as any detail that will make this easy to do properly.
    Finally, I need to be able to return the settings of the MacBook Pro back to secure settings that will allow me to connect safely when I take it to work and connect to the ethernet network there. Thank you for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Wilson

    connect the computers through the router via ethernet
    Both these computers are capable of File Sharing using IP. Only Macs running 10.3.9 and earlier can use AppleTalk File Sharing. Rendezvous/bonjour can help you on the later 10.5 Mac, but may not be too helpful on the 10.1.5 Mac. So you may need the IP address of the 10.1.5 Mac to connect to it.
    On the Mac to share its files:
    System Preferences > Sharing > Services
    check "Personal File Sharing" AND
    System Preferences > Sharing > FireWall
    check "Personal File Sharing" to let that traffic come through.
    I expect it is similar for Norton FireWall, but Norton has such a \[well deserved] rotten reputation, and has pretty much pulled out of the Mac market, so help on this may be hard to come by.
    On the \[10.5.2] Mac that wants to mount the Shared Volumes:
    In the Finder, Go Menu, select "Connect to Server"
    Select your 10.2.5 Mac in the window that opens and click connect. If it is not seen, you can browse for it or specify its IP address.
    You get a login Window. Login using an ID \[from the 10.1.5 Mac] that has Permissions to read and write the files you want to share. The drive(s) or Folder(s) you specified will mount as network Drives on the desktop. Drag and drop files in both directions to your heart's content.
    N.B.: If you choose "Guest", you will have access to the "Shared" folder ONLY.
    You have made no changes or compromises to your 10.5.2 Mac, so no Undo is necessary to take it back to work on Monday.

  • How can I use mac pro as a server?

    I want to use mac pro as a server which 4-5 people can use it at the same time.
    Our computers are all macbook or iMac.
    I want to share files when I edit videos and photos with my coworkers at a time.
    1. Can we connect each mac to mac pro and share our files as a big memory storage?
    2. And what can we do with this sharing system as a server?
    3. Lastly, how can 4-5 macbooks/iMacs connect to mac pro? Airdrop or other network exists?
    Thank you for reading!

    The short answer is: no, they can't use the server as a compute server.
    That's not quite true, but setting the server up in this way is complicated.
    A single user could log on to the Server via screen sharing, assuming that was enabled for them, but only one user at a time could do this.
    Many users can log on to the server simultaneously using the command line (using the Terminal and ssh) but they would not have access to any graphical applications, just UNIX command line programs.
    There is also a distributed system called Xgrid that ceased to be distributed or developed since 10.7, that allows you to set up particular compute tasks on the server. However, this is not at all like running Photoshop on the server instead of the local machine.

  • How can i sync mac pro w  my27 imac?

    New to macs so curious how to properly setup a network connecting mac pro, ipad and imac... thx in advance for any assistance.

    Well, "sync" and "network" mean a lot of different things to different people.
    To start with, you can set up file sharing, allowing you to access each computer across the same network. Go to System Preferences - Sharing, and turn on File Sharing. Change the computer name at the top of the Sharing screen to allow you to identify it better if need be. Then, in each Finder sidebar, you'll see the Shared computers. You can log into them from your other Macs using a valid user login belonging to the shared Mac.
    Let me know if there was something else you wanted to do...

  • Hello people how can i connect mac pro imac as monitor whit mini display

    hello people i have aproblem with my comp mac pro with 5770 ati card i want to use  that to let the imac use as monitor oke please respons i am from the duth

    Language problem I think -- mac pro is not a monitor.  Do you want to use a monitor on a mac pro as a second monitor on the imac?  Or do you want to network the mac pro with your imac?  Or do you want to use the imac as a second monitor on your mac pro?

  • How can I restore mac pro back to original with snow leopard

    I want to restore my macpro back to original, I dont have restore disk, just snow leopard disk. How can I do this?  Thanks

    A nice phone call to Apple usually results in a replacement disk being sent to you.
    I understand your intention is to give this computer away. If you were selling it, not having the original install disks dramatically lowers its value.

  • How can I recover MacBook Pro disk space

    My MacBook Pro is over ten years old... works fine, but I can't access much of the disk space on the original hard drive. I should have 100 Gig of space but only about 5 gigs is available despite the fact that Appications show 13 Gigs used and oly 7 Gigs of folders/files are listed in the info panel. Do I need to erase everything and start over t access the remaiing 70+ gigs on the disk?

    Where  did  my  Disk  Space  go?
    Slimming your hard drive
    OmniDiskSweeper is a free utility that checks HD space.
    FreeSpace cost $1 or is a free utility that checks HD space.
    SpaceControl is a free utility that checks HD space.
    Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.

  • How can I disable the touchpad and mouse shortcuts for go back a page? I keep accidentally going back a page and losing tons of data because of it.

    I've looked in both Windows 7's system options and Firefox options for ways of disabling this autoshortcut for going back a page, but there doesn't seem to be one. I'll be using the touchpad, sliding my fingers across, when I somehow activate a shortcut for "Go Back a Page" and end up losing tons of data on a form or chat or game.

    You can set mousewheel.with*.action pref(s) like mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action to 0 to perform a scroll.
    mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
    mousewheel.withnokey.action
    mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
    mousewheel.withaltkey.action
    mousewheel.withmetakey.action

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
    I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
