How can i stop my computer from losing the wi-fi link
My computer keeps "losing" the wi-fi in my home and making me sign in over and over. It recognizes the network and doesn't require me to give the password for the network, but it asks me for the password required to make network changes. It has done this for a couple of years now. It is inconsistent. About half the time, it works fine, but then it will say your preferred network is not available. Then it will show that network as the only one available and require the password for making network changes again. I have gone into the network utility and "locked" it after making the changes, but it doesn't make any difference.
If it's happening after a period of shutdown and a startup, then try only sleeping the Mac Mini instead of shutting it down. (Besides, sleeping a Mac is easier on the hardware and perfered over shutting down)
For example: my Mac's only get shut down when I go away for more than a couple of days and can sleep for weeks without any problems.

I must have changed a setting by mistake.
Now, after a period of dormancy, my computer shuts down all apps and logs off.
How can I stop it from doing that?
I've tried to retrace any recent steps in the Preferences, but to no avail.
SteveNiel, thanks for putting me on the right track. I had to go to the "advanced" section of the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences to find that option. I had almost given up searching the 4 tabs on the main page in vain.
But I found it and it's turned off
Thanks again

Clicking on File/Page Preview in Firefox 4 brings up a warning dialog "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" every time. How can I stop this from happening? It is very annoying, and it is necessary to click "OK" on this dialog twice before it will go away. Thank you.
Does it behave that way in [[Safe Mode]] ?
If it doesn't, then one of your add-ons in the culprit. -
How can I stop my iPhone from Losing space when I STREAM iTunes Movies?
I mean, isn't the point of streaming so that I don't have to download the movie? Even if the phone has to download the movie, why isn't there some option to delete the downloaded movie from phone to free up some space!?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is Time Zone Support on or off?
If you don't want the date and time updated automatically with your iPhone, you can turn this off at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > Off. -
How can I stop my computer from shutting down completely when I play fv2?
Windows 7 64 bit. My computer shuts down after 5 minutes of play on farmville2 and after about 20 minutes on farmville1 and gardens-of-time. I have followed all the instructions on the help page with no change. If anyone out there has any suggestions I certainly would appreciate them.

How can I stop my dock from rearranging the apps by itself?
I just received my iMac from FedEx today and got it all set up, but whenever I try to rearrange the icons on my dock, about 5-10 seconds later they just rearrange themselves randomly or sometimes go back to their previous location before I moved them myself.
I never had these problems with Snow Leopard on my last mac so I'm just wondering if this is a bug or if anybody has a fix for it. I found a suggestion to go to ~Library/Preferences and delete 'com.apple.preferences.plist' but I couldn't find it in that folder or anywhere on my local HD for that matter.
If anyone has any other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!Lion hides your Library folder. You can get to it via the Finder Go menu, Go To Folder, and entering ~/Library or ~/Library/Preferences depending on where you want to go.
As for the dock thing, I realize you have a new system, but have you installed any third party additions at this point? Or is this still a "pristine", as-shipped version of Lion?
The plist you may want to remove is,
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
i.e., that plist in your home directory Preferences. Log out and back in after you remove that plist. -
How can I stop a JFrame from taking the focus?
Hi,
Please see my original post in the Java Event Handling forum:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=424&thread=565034&tstart=0&trange=15
Sorry, for cross-posting but its been nearly a week and I have had no replies. This forum looks a bit more active.
- Davidtry this...
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setFocusableWindowState(false);setFocusableWindowState
public void setFocusableWindowState(boolean focusableWindowState)Sets whether this Window can become the focused Window if it meets the other requirements outlined in isFocusableWindow. If this Window's focusable Window state is set to false, then isFocusableWindow will return false. If this Window's focusable Window state is set to true, then isFocusableWindow may return true or false depending upon the other requirements which must be met in order for a Window to be focusable.
Setting a Window's focusability state to false is the standard mechanism for an application to identify to the AWT a Window which will be used as a floating palette or toolbar, and thus should be a non-focusable Window.
Parameters:
focusableWindowState - whether this Window can be the focused Window -
I am developing Firefox addons. Ever since the update to 18.0 Firefox is deleting my development extensions/folders from the profile folder when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work!
It seems to have stopped not sure if it was a version update or disabling Windows EFS encryption of the profile folders. I have noticed EFS seems to cause issues in general.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?
How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.
Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

How can i stop internet media from flooding elements 6?
how can I stop elements 6 from constantly importing internet photos and flooding my memory?
PSE isn't importing photos off the internet, but it could be importing photos from your hard drive that are being placed there as you browse the internet.
It's likely that you've told PSE to import all new photos on your hard drive using the Watched Folders mechanism.
In the Organizer, go to File > Watch Folders...
See the list of folders PSE is currently watching.
Check the setting near the bottom of the dialog as to what PSE should do when it finds new images in the folders it is watching.
Make any necessary changes to have it do what you want it to do.
Cheers
