How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

Don't use the computer in your lap, or on a blanket or pillow. The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system so it needs air underneath. If you must use the computer in your lap, get a lapboard. There are cheap, even more so if you make one yourself.
If the computer is a older MBP with silver keys, avoid "clamshell" mode when using an external monitor. Those models let a lot of heat escape through the keyboard. The black-key Unibody versions don't seem to rely so much on the keyboard as a vent.
Like eww said, what feels hot to you may not threaten the computer's well-being. Get a temperature monitoring utility. I like this one:
http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
It runs politely in the background and puts the readout in the menubar:
so you don't have to invoke Dashboard like some other temp monitors require. As Dashboard loads all its widgets as soon as it's invoked, the extra widget processes can run up the temps and you don't get a true average use temp.
If you use Dashboard a lot, those processes stay active after the first launch and can eat processor cycles as well as increase temps. I use DashQuit, a widget that shuts down Dashboard when I'm done without requiring a computer restart. It's here:

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting after connecting to Power?

How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting (booting) after connecting to Power?

You can't so far as I know. You can however, shut it down after it's connected to power and it should not power back on as long as it's connected. If the power is disconnected/reconnected, it will power back on.
If you just want to avoid calls, etc. while it's plugged in, you could just put it in airplane mode.

I have checked around the internet, but still can't find any answers. How can I prevent incoming mail from interrupting the music I am listening to on my iPhone? That 1-second muting function drives me insane, especially when a lot of mail is coming in.

If you want to hear your music on iPhone without interruption, switch Settings > Airplane Mode: ON.

You can't prevent users from resizing a pop-up.

How can I prevent personal contacts from syncing with Exchange corporate email?

I have my phone synching with my work Exchange server over ActiveSync, and have 2 personal email accounts (POP and IMAP). The 2 personal accounts are also configured in Outlook 2010 on my home computer. Itunes is also installed on this computer.
I want my contacts from my 2 personal accounts to sync to my phone (which is working), but not have them sync to my work account (this part is not working the way I want). I now have all my personal contacts uploaded to my work account. How can I remove the contacts from my work account without removing them from my phone?

Unless you are in the same household, the agreement for Mountain Lion does not allow the setup you have now.
You need to spend another US$30 and buy an additional copy and get that other MacBook on its own unique Apple_ID.

How can I prevent my iPhone from making calls on its own?

Turn on auto lock. I have never had my iPhone once do anything without me doing it.

How can I prevent Word 2013 from opening a PDF file to edit it?

As per the title - I create training manuals in MS Word and save as PDF for distribution to clients.
How cna I prevent them from opening and editing them with Word 2013?

You can restrict editing and printing of a PDF document by setting permissions when you create the initial PDF. This can be done as:
Open Word document to convert.
Go to Acrobat tab on Word ribbon -> Select Preferences button.
On Security tab of the Preferences dialog, tick mark the check box for "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
Specify a password in "Change Permissions Password" tex box.
Click OK.
Input the password again in the confirmation dialog.
Go to "Create PDF" button.
The PDF thus created, will have editing restricted. And Word 2013 will not be able to open it.
Thanks.

How Can I Prevent My Computer From Sleeping

I left my computer overnight to transfer footage in Final Cut Pro. My settings on ENergy Saver are set so that the "Put Hard Disk to Sleep WHenever Possible" is unchecked. However when I woke up this morning the screen was black and asleep and so was my external harddrive - a G Drive. So none of the files went through. How can I stop this?

Hi Molly, if it's not honoring your settings, & not sleeping due to heat or such, might try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
Then reboot once more & setup your Energy Saver prefs.

How can I upgrade to Pro From Express

Hi,
I currently have Logic Express 9.0.0 and would like to upgrade to Logic Pro (or Studio?). Can I simply download Pro and install it on top of Express? Is the price pro-rated?
Thanks!

There is no pro-rated price.
Logic has been reduced to $199 from the app store...... mainly so Apple can sell more hardware.
Next year they will be giving it away... (kidding, hopefully)
The main content, application and support files is a 2.5 GB download, the additional content, Jampacks, Loops, is many, many more GB than that.

How can I prevent a macbook from syncing with my ical alerts.

I was attempting to share a photo stream from my ipod touch with a friend. At one point when I was trying to figure out how she could access it, I believe I entered my apple ID on her macbook to connect to the icloud. She is now receiving alerts from my calendar. How can we stop that? What does she need to do on her end to disconnect? Thanks.

If you go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set it to Don't Allow Changes it will disable the ability to change any of the iCloud settings, or settings for other accounts including email accounts, FaceTime, FaceBook, Twitter, the iTunes & App store ID, etc. That would be your only option. Also, as you may know, if you set restrictions make sure you write down the passcode; if you ever forget it you will need to restore the device as new, without using an backup (or restore a backup made before the restrictions passcode was set), in order to remove it.

How can I prevent shared computers from automatically connecting?

When I click on a shared computer in the finder using bonjour, the computer is automatically connected. It should require a password, but I can't seem to prevent this. Please help me prevent this computer from automatically connecting. Thanks

You need to modify the preferences on the MacBook. The System Preferences>sharing pane should show you the options. You can add or delete users and folders, and I believe if you turn off all sharing options, you won't be able to connect to the machine.
Here's my System Preferences window for reference.
