how can i stop my mbp from starting up in target disk mode

It should only do that if you hold down the T key at startup.  Otherwise the PRAM battery is probably near death, or the T key needs to be cleaned so it doesn't think it is being held down.  To clean the keyboard properly, you will probably need to bring it in for service.

  • Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

  • Can I boot an iMac from my PB in Target Disk Mode?

    I'm housesitting at my parents this weekend, and would like to know if I can bootup my Powerbook G4 in Target Disk mode and then use it as the Startup volume on my parents Intel iMac. In System Preferences it doesn't give my Hard Drive as an option for a startup volume.
    I think I just answered my question... OS X on my Powerbook is the PPC version... and probably can't use the PPC version as a Startup on the Intel....

    Hi Joel Jenkins;
    I would say NO.
    First of all since they have an Intel and you have PowerPC The code will not be compatible. Secondly there the problem that the Intel machine has to have the disk formatted differently. So I don't think this idea will work for you.
    Why pray tell were you thinking of doing this any way? Exactly what did you hope to accomplish?

  • How can I stop Adobe Illustrator from starting automatically i boot

    Every time I turn on my imac, Adobe Illustrator launches automatically. It is not that big a deal, but it is annoying and I cannot figure out how to stop it. I think my 3 yo daughter did it by accident! Thanks for your feedback in advance

    Go to System Prefs>Accounts>your name and remove Adobe from the start-up items. There should also be a place in Adobe preferences that asks if you want it to launch when the computer starts, Deselect that option.

    how can I stop deleted gmails from reappearing?

    Ignore him!  Syncing will not solve this.
    if this just started, it may also resolve on its own.   A reboot may resolve it quicker.
    When you delete, are you confirming the delete by taping "done" Or "delete"?

  • How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    How can I stop my nano from syncing every time I do something?  Sometimes it takes overnight to complete the sync.

    Check your sync settings on the Music and other tabs. Personally I untick the box that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and under Edit > Preferences > Devices I tick the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". This means that I get to choose and, if necessary, edit the content selections and then start the sync only when I'm ready.

  • How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

    HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

    Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • 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.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

  • 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
    Bob
