How can I stop Maverick OS X from downloading?

There are multiple ways to configure the proxy settings on a Mac it sounds like your trying to do it manually. All the places I have been that have used a proxy server have used the "Auto Proxy Discovery" method and this has worked fine. This will work fine for multiple user accounts on multiple Macs.
For those unaware "Auto Proxy Discovery" uses WPAD (Windows Proxy Auto-Discovery) protocol. This means it either 'learns' the address to download a PAC file from via DHCP option code 252 (preferred), or if it cannot get that address via DHCP it tries using the DNS method.
All the Mac web-browsers use the proxy settings learned via System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies however some other software particularly command-line tools may need configuring individually. For example curl needs to be told separately.

  • How can I stop the mail app from downloading old messages and marking them as new.... repetedly

    I have just bought myself my first ever mac, and i've been having a little trouble with the mail function that comes with it. The first time i connected my mail app to my hotmail adress, all my old mails started coming in and they were all marked as unread. i had like 7000 og them, so it took a while for them all to load. after this i marked them all as read, and it was fine for a couple of days.
    I am not sure what makes all my e-mails load as "new" again and again, but it happens every so often. This is very annoying because i get a little notification at the top of my screen for every "new" e-mail.
    In the beginning i didn't think that much of it, but now it is really starting to annoy me, bacause it has happened so many times, so my question is:
    Have any of you experienced this? And how did you fix it?
    And i am running the OS X version 10.8.2, if that is relevant

    Is it an IMAP or POP account?
    For POP accounts, you can select remove from server under the advanced tab of the account.

  • How can I stop thousands of emails from downloading to my iPhone 5 - ios7 problem.

    Like many others I am very very unhappy that I can no longer limit emails.  Despite marking the thousands now in my inbos as READ or deleting all that happens it that thousands more seem to download!  HELP?  (Yes, I am going back to individual servers in my webmail to delete or move emails so that hopefully there won't be any or very few to keep downloading.)  My data limit on vodaphone must be on red alert.
    I sent feedback to APPLE as suggested.  Is there any sign that anyone from Apple has acknowledged this serious issue?

    You read the mail on a mobile device and the status synced would be my guess

  • How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

    How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
    I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step.  I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

    Hi furiousbalancing,
    With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
    To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
    Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
    You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
    You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

  • How can I stop the Drudgereport page from autorefreshing? None of the standard answers work.

    How can I stop the Drudgereport page from autorefreshing? None of the standard answers work.
    ''locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/775159 ''

    Drudgereport includes JavaScript code that refreshes the page. You could disable JavaScript for the drudgereport site, that will stop it from refreshing. You can do that by installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4922/ YesScript] extension which allows you to block JavaScript on sites that you specify.

  • How can I stop my home page from opening OVER a page from a link I just clicked on?

    If I click on a link from an email, Firefox always opens 2 pages with my home page (Google) covering up the page I clicked the link to go to. How can I stop it from doing that?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think since I got the most recent upgrade (3.6.7)

    There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash: suddenly, the previous window (typically the one from which you launched the link or bookmark) comes back to the front.
    The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].

  • How can I stop the voice over from my apple tv

    I have just connected my Apple TV which appears to be working ok. How do I stop the interactive voice from speaking.

    I have the 2nd Gen Apple TV and it is where I said. Have you updated yours to the latest firmware/software? I can't see why you are unable to find it otherwise. I will take pictures if you want me to.

  • How can I stop Acrobat 9 Pro from closing itself?

    I recently installed a trial of the CS4 Master Collection. I already had a copy of Acrobat 8 Standard installed on my computer, during installation it said that my version would be upgraded. However, now, when I open Acrobat 9, after about 10-20 seconds, a window pops up with the title bar as 'Adobe Nameless Application' that asks me to accept the End User License Agreement. If I do so, or click Cancel, this window as well as Acrobat close. If I click Decline, then it takes me to another screen where my only options are Back and Quit.
    How can I stop this from happening, or at least get Acrobat 8 back?

    You can remove the trial, run the CS 4 Cleanscript.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove any vestiges of Acrobat and then re-install Acrobat 8.
    However, before doing that you might try to run the licensing repair tool:

  • How can I stop Address Book (Lion) from printing an extra blank page when I print an envelope

    Whenever I print a mailing envelope in Lion's Address Book, it prints fine but then prints a blank page following. How can I stop this?

    HP printers for years have had a problem printing an extra envelope from the Apple Addressbook Application with the # 10 envelope.
    Solution: Select a #9  envelop.  This prints about the same size and does not have an extra envelop.
    How to: From Address book, select print, Style: Envelopes, Layout: Layout pulldown Official 9 then print
    Interestingly the two smaller and two larger sizes only print one envelope. You can test this by clicking pdf and open pdf in preview.
    Over the years I have called HP and they couldn't solve the problem.
    I have told Apple today when I figures out the workaround.
