How can I prevent previously open windows from automatically opening on application launch (e.g. Pages, Safari)?

Whenever I launch Pages, the application opens pretty much all the documents I've worked on. I take care to close all the windows, hoping that they won't launch again next time I start the application, yet they do. I can't find a setting in the preferences or Settings to disable this behavior. Please advise.

System Preference > Personal/General > Number of recent items
Uncheck the box for "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Hope this helps.

Hello Cgifford,
Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
To output your signal to the PFI lines,
you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
1)
On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
need to route the signal using the property:
You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
2)
This will depend on the frequency of
your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
- Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
- MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
3)
The short answer is yes. The longer one
might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend a LOT of money
on DRM protection.

If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

Simple answer:
do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
OR
in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
click on 'Edit'
deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
So the details are wrong and cannot send.

How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself and running down the battery?

I will arrive at my desk in the morning, stop the podcast I'm listening to, notice by the "play" button appearing on the screen and that absence of audio in my ears that the podcast has actually stopped, hold the big oval button down until the screen goes dark, and set my iPod down on the desk. Every now and again (maybe twice a week) I'll catch the iPod playing. It's usually off playing music (i.e. it's somehow navigated away from the podcast I've been listenting to and ended up in a music shuffle somewhere), and it will continue playing until the battery runs down or until I happen to notice it and turn it off. Doesn't only happen at work, happens anywhere...home, car. Result is that once or twice a week I go to use the iPod and the battery has completely run down.

When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

To all,
After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
But I whine and digress from my problem:
QUESTION:
When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
Thank you,
Matt

As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?
Thank you,
Matt

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.

I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

Cheers for the reply.
I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
I pulled this from the rdf file
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/x-qif"
NC:alwaysAsk="false"
NC:saveToDisk="false"
NC:useSystemDefault="false"
NC:handleInternal="false">

<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:text/x-qif"

Not sure if that helps.
Thanks again for the reply

How can I prevent two different profiles from interfering with one another?

I have a serious profiles problem. I created a new profile with Profile Manager and then copied a well-established profile's contents into its directory before starting the new profile. Now, when I start either profile, it contains whatever tabs I had in the previously opened profile. I deleted a bunch of tabs and a window from the new profile but when I opened it after having opened and closed the old profile, the tabs and window reappeared. If I open some tabs in the new profile and then close it and open the old profile, the tabs appear in it, and vice versa.
I open the original profile through a shell script:
<pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P "profile 1"</pre>
I open the second one the same way but with the <i>-no-remote</i> parameter:
<pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P "profile 1 clone" -no-remote</pre>
Why do the two profiles collide like that and how can I prevent this from happening?

Are you using Sync then ?
Or are you setting a bunch of tabs as the homepage ?
If you cloned a profile they will start off the same and that will include the set of open tabs from the file ''sessionstore.js'' however profiles are independent and so should have there own sessionstore and History once they have been used.

How do you prevent MS-DOS window from appearing during Runtime.exec()?

The question below was attached to the answer for Question of the Week No. 21. I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the answer? Put another way does anyone know how javaw does it?

On Windows NT 4.0, how can I prevent CreateProcess()
from creating a cmd.exe window when using javaw and
Runtime.exec()? No such cmd.exe window is created if
instead I run "java" from the command line.
I have a C++ server named "foo", and have created
a Java applcation with Swing GUI named "foo.java".
This GUI captures configuration information and
then uses Runtime.exec() to start the C++ app, with
a socket established between the Java app and C++
app for later communication.
This is all working fine, and the Java application
and GUI working as expected. When I run "java foo"
from either the NT command shell (cmd.exe) or MKS
Korn shell (sh.exe) the Java application/GUI starts,
and when it calls Runtime.exec() my C++ process is
started as what appears to be a child process of the
"java" process, that is, no cmd.exe window is created
during the Runtime.exec("foo.exe") call.
However, when running the same Java application from
a shortcut on the desktop via "javaw", when I invoke
Runtime.exec() a cmd.exe window is created before my
C++ server is started. While things are running
ok and my Java app can still communicate with my
C++ server, is there anyway I can prevent this
cmd.exe window from being created, and instead, have
my C++ server run as a child process of javaw (or
an independent process without a cmd.exe)?

cmd always opens a dos window - use another console interpreter instead or just call the programm directly.
i.e.
Runetime.exec("c:\\myprogram.exe");
OR
The following demonstrates executing a command without bringing up a popup. import java.io.*;
public class Test {
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
    String[] command = {
      "C:\\winnt\\system32\\cmd.exe", "/y", "/c",
      "dir"};
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
    InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
      System.out.println(line);
}However....
According to bug number 4244515 in Sun's Bug Parade (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4244515.html), javaw doesn't always work without bringing up new window.

My password protected phone was stolen and hacked into. How can I prevent someone like this from hacking into/getting around the passcode? They now have access to everything on my phone (I had a passcode to prevent this)

How can you prevent a hacker from bypassing your iphone passcode? My phone was stolen and someone hacked in and has access to everything on my phone and turned off "find my iphone." This is exactly what I wanted to prevent from happening and the reason why I had a passcode.

Turn on "Erase Data" in Settings>Passcode. That will wipe the data after 10 incorrect password attempts.
Turn off "Simple Passcode" in the same place and use something other than a 4 digit pin as your passcode.
Also make sure Find my iPhone is enabled so you can locate and if necessary, forcibly wipe the phone.

How can I prevent my fullscreen app from closing when escape is pressed in Cocoa-Applescript?

How can I prevent my fullscreen Cocoa-Applescript app from being closed when a user presses escape?

Actually, in testing something else with Thunderbird as the receiving email client, I found that blanks in the Full Name entry box works when the recipient does not have a history with you. My earlier tests were from one account to another of my accounts, but viewing the received message in Mail. Mail knew the address so added the Full Name from history. The Thunderbird I was testing another issue with, was a virgin installation, and had the same recipient account, but not the sending one, setup. In Thunderbird only the actual email address came in, and no name.

How can I prevent the url display from sometimes being overwritten by button icons?

The address in the url bar is sometimes overwritten by a line of button icons, which can overlap onto buttons beside the url display.
Please see a typical display here:

This, I am happy to say, does not happen with every website I visit, but it happens often enough to be a real nuisance.
Here is a list of *some* of the webpages where I have encountered this phenomenon:

Sure hope that there is an easy solution. I reverted to the Classic Display to work around it, only to find that it didn't solve the problem.

Hello,
That is not normal behaviour and is caused by one of your add-ons. Just to be sure, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Since it will be a hassle to find out which one of your many extensions is the culprit, follow the note in this section of the article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_test-for-faulty-extensions
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
