How can I turn off automatic startup of LR 5?

Each time I boot up the computer, or restart the computer, and each time I connect any USB device to the computer, LR 5 starts up. If there are images on a USB drive (or camera, or phone) I'm connecting - for example, to recharge the cell phone - LR 5 immediately tries to import those images. I almost never want that sort of automatic importing. I can turn off LR and "skip backup" - but there must be some setting which will allow me to have control of when LR opens and when it tries to import.
This happens on the LR 5 installation on my desktop computer, but not on the LR 5 installation on my laptop computer. Both installations are activated with valid reg codes.

In Lightroom go to Preferences > General > Import Options.
Deselect "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected"
You don't mention your OS so note that there are slightly different locations in the drop down menus of Preferences.
OSX find it in 'Lightroom', Windows it is under 'Edit'

How can i turn off automatic printing on my ipad mini

how can i turn off automatic printing on my ipad mini. every day My printer prints out a weekly calendar at the same time. How can I stop or disable this. Thanks

The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

How can I turn off automatic loading of Bridge in PhotoShop CS2?

For the life of me I can not find the way to turn off automatic
startup of bridge in CS2. Please help....

Thanks for the reply. On my computer I am running PSCS2 and InDesign CS4. I went into InDesign Preferences and disabled running scripts. Then I opened PhotoShop, preferences and there was a option to uncheck, automatically start Bridge with PhotoShop. I swear I looked for this option 4 or 5 times and it was not there. Now either I am going looney or disabling the option to run scripts in CS4 did the trick. If any of you are still using CS2 would you confirm that the option is or is not there to disable bridge when starting PSCS2.
I am thankful that you guys have helped me to resolve this. I am still curious as to whether I am going looney....you guys are the best!

How can I turn off Automatic White Balance/Correction?

Hi,
I shoot color Infra-Red images. White Balance is handled in Camera - and then in Photoshop. As a new user to Lightroom 2 - everytime I view/click on an image in the Library - the color/balance of the image changes to a deep red, and I lose all of the vivid colors that I had from the original image. The files are Nikon NEF RAW - and I am looking for a way to turn this automatic change in colors off. Can anyone help?
Thanks and have a great weekend !!!
Dave

Hal,
I have a Nikon D-70 that has the Lifepixel infra-red conversion. Take a look at their website and you can see the great color infra-red pictures that you can take with this converted camera. So there is my problem - I can set the camera at a PRE White-Balance and shoot Cyan/Blue/Green photos - and then import them into Lightroom. I see the photos in the Library - but as I click on them to view them, they change color to Red. Now if I set up the camera to take White Balance as Auto - or pretty much anything else other than the PRE (for which I can adjust), I will also get a Red photo. Red is OK if you want to convert to B+W - but if you want to retain all of the colors, I need to keep the color that the camera shot - without Lightroom changing them. I looked at the history - and only have an import/date. Other than clicking on it to view - no changes have been applied by me - yet. I will try to shoot them as jpg's - the ones I am working with right now were shot in the summer. We have -20 Deg. C. here right now - so Infra Red camera is in bag - have no green leaves to shoot. Looking through preferences and settings to see if I can find a "turn-off"....... Actually - let me load the photos with Bridge and see what they look like there..........

How can I turn off automatic right side format bar?

Using Pages 5.0 + Mavericks: When I open any Pages document (new or old), there appears a format bar on the right. It's a nuisance to have to manually close it each time. Is there some way that I can turn off that format bar so it won't appear unless I choose it?

Thanks for your reply...at least I'm not alone in failing to find a cure

How can I turn off the startup chime?

The chime sounds from the internal speakers at full blast no matter what volume I have set the computer to. Is there any way to turn this off or at least quiet it? It keeps waking my baby up, even when she's sleeping upstairs!

Julia,
I have used the System Preference pane that Neil recommended for over a year successfully. It is good to hear the startup chime, even at a much lower volume, because it lets you know that your Mac has passed the built-in Power On Self Test.
I'm sure that mr fish didn't mean for his post to be as condescending as it seems. You know, telling a woman where her mute key is located! He is new here in the Intel discussions and has been having issues fitting in. He recently learned how to color the text of his posts and isn't aware of how childish and distracting they have become. But he is coming along and is a welcome new personality here in Using Your Intel-based iMac.
But, mr. fish aside, the tip he gave you about muting your Mac before turning it off should work! So the fact that you report that it doesn't, leads me to believe that there may be some maintenance issues with your new Mac. I want to give you the link to the X Labs. Dr. Smoke, the author, is a long-time, regular contributor here in the Apple Discussions and he has put together a great site that explains well how to keep a Mac & Mac OS X running in good condition. When you have time you can check it out and see if there are some things that you could be doing that will keep things running smoothly.
Something that will help folks here in the forum when you ask for advice is if you go to your Profile and expand a bit about your Mac; model, OS X version, amount of RAM, etc.

How can I turn off automatic hyperlinks in Pages for OSX Mavericks?

Hi - I'm getting really bugged that Pages (5.2) in OSX Mavericks (10.9.2) keeps automatically making hyperlinks of any web address in a document, and even if I've edited the link to delete it, the link later reappears. I want to turn this off by default. I can't find a way to stop this and I'm getting very frustrated! Thanks!

And, in a way, it's worse than that, as I'm coming to iWork as a new user with my first Mac, having not used 09, or any other version before. However, I'm also using M$ Office (2011), which is much much better on OSX than (2013) on Win7. Having said that, and to be fair to Apple, the experience of moving to a Mac from 21 years of DOS/Windoze use has, generally speaking, been an absolute revelation and has made PC use a pleasure again. Windoze 8 finally pushed me over the edge. A few weird menu placings is a small price to pay...

How can I turn off the startup chime on my new iMAC (Intel based)?

Hi,
Every time I turn on my iMac the startup chime is very loud. It doesn't matter whether I lower or mute the volume prior to shutting it down, the startup chime volume is unpredictable. Is there any way possible to control it without having to download a third party program?
Thanks!

Thank you for your response.
I seem to get a lot of conflicting information whether you should shut down a computer at night or simply put it to sleep. However, that is another discusssion
As to the startup chime, ideally I would like to be able to control the volume at least (not mute it). I will still be able to hear the chime when the iMac starts up, but right now it sounds like a church bell going off in my apartment whenever I turn on the computer!

How can I turn off automatic logins to web sites

Just re-installed fire fox and now it automatically logs me in to sites with stored passwords. I don't want this as it is really not secure, is it. It allows anyone to use my logins.

It seems that no-one has figured this problem out yet. In the past Firefox only filled in site login details after one started to type in ones user name. Now when one goes to a site the user name and password are already filled in. This would enable anyone using the computer to log in. This makes a nonsense of Firefox having a "secure" password protected folder. This has only happened since the most recent update and needs fixing.
Does anyone from Firefox actually read these posts. It would be a great help if one could a some real response and not just a suggestion to browse the forum to see if any other user has the problem.

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

Hi,
I am using German OS therefore maybe the items are called differently in English:
1) Go into the main menu
2) Select "Alerts"
3) select the Profile you like to adjust
4) Select App Alerts
5) Select Email
6) You sould see your 3 mail accounts listed
7) Select the one you like to "mute" and you can set everything (sound, LED, vibration etc. individually for this acount)
Hope it helps

I want to type "0800" or "20.00"; Pages automatically "corrects" the entries to: "800" and "20." ! How can I turn this automatic correcting OFF?

In my business it is critical that I be able to enter numbers in the format I choose. I want to type "0800" or "20.00"; Pages automatically "corrects" the entries to: "800" and "20." ! How can I turn this automatic correcting OFF? I am a relatively new user of Pages and cannot find a means of turning the autocorrect OFF.or of setting the number formatting rules.

Pages v5.5.2 does not change 0800, or 20.00 when entered as body text for me. There is nothing in substitution, or Pages preferences settings that can effect these values.
However, when typed in a Pages table cell with the wrong data format, mischief does occur. In order to preserve 0800, select the Cell tab on the format panel, and set the cell data format to Text, or a custom data format. To preserve 20.00, you must set that cell data format to either Automatic with 2 decimals, or Number with 2 decimals.

Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically

Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically on my MBP Retina after I installed mountain lion. It worked fine before I upgrade OX10.7 to 10.8. How can I fix it?

Ah sorry didn't notice you have XP. Power Plan Assistant is for 7 and Vista only. FYI I've been searching for the working solution days and nights before found the Power Plan Assistant software... I have to tell, there seem to be no other workarounds if you want to keep Bootcamp.exe in RAM. If you kill it, remove it from startup items in registry and reboot, there will be no keyboard backlight (pros), but as well no hardware controls at all, no delete key, no multitouch function of touchpad, etc... (idea-killer cons)

How do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
Alternatively, you can try this:
I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
Press RETURN.
And to restore it to the original value type:
sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
Press RETURN.
That's all folks.
