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.

How can I prevent my emails from automatically opening

When I open email, it automatically has the emails open when I click on them. How can I just select certain ones without it opening and delete them?

I care that it automatically opens. I find it really annoying that whatever message is at the top of my inbox, (or under my cursor) mail opens it, whether I have read it or not. If I want to keep track of messages I have opened and read, I have to select and mark that message as unread every time I open mail, if I don't want to read it at that time. I can't find a fix and it drives me nuts.

How can I prevent web pages from automatically reloading, such as The Druge Report, etc.

Several web sites I frequent automatically reload their front page whenever they want to...not when I manually refresh...interrupting streaming videos, etc. I do not want these pages to do this, only I want the ability to manually refresh a web page.

Yes, many sites need JavaScript to be enabled to work properly.<br /><br />
This site will most likely not work and in the Knowledge Base you see the content for all Firefox versions and platforms.<br />
So you shouldn't disable JavaScript globally, but you can do that selectively on a specific tab or based on websites.

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.

How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

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:

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.

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer. How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
Other than that, syncing is by device.
Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
Connect second device, repeat.
Connect third device, repeat.

I'm using "window.open()" to show one Calendar in a popup window. I can see that the popup is re-sizable. How can I prevent the user from re-sizing the popup?

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 De-authorize computers from my itunes account

as people may know it is only possible to have 5 computers authorized to play itunes music however how can i de-authorize computers i don't have anymore, or computers that been restored back to factory settings. as i have 4 registered but only have one computer in use

first of all you open up your itunes, go to itunes store and on the right side you should find "Account" click on that and log in, there should be a button right underneath Change Country, if you click that button, it should reset the authorization back to 0, and you have to re-authorize the computers that you use. If that button doesn't appear you might have to authorize another computer to make it 5 authorized, and then reset the authorization.
