How can I stop the game that is on my Firefox homepage?
How do I stop the annoying game that is on my Firefox home page?
# Type ''about:config'' into the address bar and press Enter.
# To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
# In the search box, paste ''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''
# In the search results, double-click ''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''
# In the "Enter string value" dialog, press the Delete key so that there's no text remaining, then press either Enter or the OK button. As a side-effect, only default tips will be displayed below the search box, because new ones won't be fetched from the web anymore.
# Type ''about:support'' into the address bar and press Enter.
# Click the Show Folder button. A Windows Explorer window with your profile folder opens. In that window, open the ''storage'' folder, then the ''persistent'' subfolder.
# Exit Firefox.
# Delete the ''moz-safe-about+home'' folder.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy
An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want. -

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?
By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID. -
Hi...I have this problem, everytime I want to print something out the mac asks me for the computer password...that is really becoming annoying after. That happened since I upgraded to mountain lion. How can I stop the computer from asking me that?
If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.
-NinaSorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name. -

How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing every time iWeb starts up?
Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
Who knows these tricks?iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera. Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

Hi One & All
While we are working on Delegate(provider) for JAXWS client handler in Weblogic10 , we have some technical issues and need some assistance.
Problem Description
In OUTBound of a provider, how can we stop the provider invoking its endpoint and send a response back?
Example:
I have a provider with some handlers configured for both IN and OUT flows. When the Jaxws provider is making a request, the OUTBound Handler gets invoked and in this Handler I would like to stop invoking actual endpoint and send back my own response. That means I should be able to tell the Handler chain to stop further processing of this flow, set a response message into message exchange and invoke the IN flow. How do I do that?
This kind of mediation/interception is possible in standard specifications like JAX-WS, Servlets etc… wondering if Weblogic10 JAXWS provides any sort of this kind.
Also we would like to know who is invoking a provider endpo int in JAXWS stack in weblogic10? Is it an OUTBound handler at the end of handler chain or some other transport component after the handler chain?
Thanks in Advance
Suresh
Edited by: user12494412 on Jan 22, 2010 7:06 AMI completely agree with this....I have used Windows and Skype for many years. I recently installed an older version of Skype to run on Windows 8.1 because the new version is SO AWFUL. As much as I prefer the older version (6.14), the daily number of SPAM CONTACT requests is rediculous and most are just variations of the same spammer. Maybe it is time to look for a replacement for both?

With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the document from moving horizontally? When I scroll up or down I find it annoying that the document might shift to the left, and then I have to scroll it back to the right. The only way I've found to stop it from moving horizontally is by reducing the document down to about 50%, but then I can't read the document. I prefer having the document set at 125%, but then the bottom horizontal scroll bar shows up, and then the document can shift to the left if I'm not exact with my scrolling up or down.
Hi Nels,
Please update your profile. Numbers 3.0 will not run on Mountain Lion (10.8.x)
With the new version of numbers, 3.0

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

How can I stop the intro voice when I play a genius mix
HOw can I stop the intro voice when I play a genius mix?
Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.
