How can I turn off lots of failure popups when starting my mac?

Dear community!
Everytime I change my network, I get failure popups caused by missing server connection. How can I turn these messages off?
I know the reason: at work I have lots of connections to different server and of course I don't have them at home.
It's boring to click up to 10 times at these error popups to close them.
Does anybody know how I can solve this issue?
THX in advance for your help!
Regards, Tina

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Boot in safe mode.
Log in and see whether you still have the problem. If you don't, it's caused by one of your login items or a system modification that loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. A common offender is "Adobe Synchronizer," which is a component of some Adobe products.
Step 2
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 3
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 2 and move the following items in that folder to the Trash, if they exist:
com.apple.recentitems.plist
loginwindow.plist
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 4
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library.

How can I turn off Adobe Reader X Popup Bubbles Permanently?

I feel like I've gone backwards ten years to the first version of Windows XP, when everything resulted in an annoying popup or dialogue or bubble that required my attention and my intervention. My hope is for Adobe to learn the lesson that Microsoft learned ten years ago.
Adobe Reader X is full of popups. How can I turn them off permanently? I've spent hours searching the internet and the forums. I've seen the messages that explain dismissing a popup on a document permanently turns it off for that document. I've seen the message that reveals a registry key called "bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble".
But I want to turn off the popups for all documents permanently. I don't want to navigate to the tiny little 'x' on the bubble of every document.
The bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble key doesn't exist anywhere in my registry. I'm comfortable searching with regedit and making changes. The key doesn't exist.
How can I permanently turn off Adobe Reader X popup bubbles?

In my earlier message, I explained that I found such a message. It was the
exact same message you're showing me.
Now what? As I explained, that key doesn't exist in my registry. Is it a
Boolean? a DWORD? or what?
BTW, it's not risky to "search" the registry. It's risky to "guess" what
kind of change to make to your registry and then change it according to
your guess.

How can I turn off over the air sync settings on my Mac iPhone

Hi,
For some reason I am attempting to sync my iPhone with my laptop as usual but now in the iTunes app when I attach my iPhone and go to Info, it reads: Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. So here is the thing, I have looked online and have found nothing at all to show me how to do this on my iPhone. I want to be able to add info on my iPhone and then connect it with my laptop and sync it immediately with my laptop and also to add info on my laptop and immediately sync it with my iPhone. Please help. Thanks

On your iPhone go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your MobileMe account. Turn off the items you don't want synced over the air.

How can I turn off Signing in panel at PS start up?

Hi,
I am a paying customer. Every time I start my computer and I open PS, for one week now I have to sign up every time. And the application says that I have a trial version of PS and LR!!! How can I stop this? Moreover, in 2013 I BOUGHT LR 5, before subscribing in Creative Cloud. Why can't I install the old LR 5 that I bought on another computer?
Sincerely,
Catalin Botez

It's an old bug and i don't think that they will fix it. If you're working on WIndows try following solution:

How can I turn off compatibility with 7.1 when labview 8 converts my 7.1 code?

Hi,
I just loaded LV8 on my mac. It converted/compiled my app code to 8. While doing that, it changed many of my constants to hidden controls to maintain combabtibility with 7.1. I really don't care about 7.1 anymore. Is there a way to turn this off so I can re-compile the code and keep it the way it is?
Obviously, I am new to LV but I don't see a reason for keeping the compatibility with 7.1 if my lab is going to 8.
Any thoughs, comments, or critisims would be appreciated.

The particular issue you're talking about isn't necessarily "compatibility" with LabVIEW 7.1...it's actually ensuring that your VIs behave the same in 8.0 as they did in 7.1. As described in that dialog box, a change was made in LabVIEW 8.0 regarding how VI diagrams are compiled in regards to Case Structures with cases that will never run. If you are using case structures with constants wired to their selectors purely to keep VIs in memory at particular points in your code, then you should heed the advice given in the context help for the created control and use a Static VI Reference in your code instead of a subVI in a case structure. If you are using case structures with constants wired to their selectors to comment out code, perhaps you should use the Diagram Disable structure instead.

How can I turn off the Typekit font check when opening files in InDesign

Adobe InDesign CC, Version 9.2.1 x32
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Every time I open an existing file in InDesign which is using a font I have installed on my PC I get the following message:
"No matches were found on TypeKit, click "Find Font" to replace with fonts that exist on your computer"
I'm able to click on Find Font and then select the font that TypeKit is unable to find - can I stop it checking for this as I have the font installed on my local machine?
Many thanks.

Hi Adrian,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Some users have reported an issue in the current version of InDesign which can temporarily deactivate installed fonts. Please note that this is actually unrelated to Typekit; it just happens to occur at the time you see our logo in the missing fonts window.
The InDesign team is still investigating the factors which trigger this situation, but the basic issue is this: the Missing Fonts dialog causes fonts which are managed through Extensis Suitcase and FontExplorer to not auto-activate correctly, or for managed fonts to even be visible in the application after upgrade.
In both cases, the InDesign Missing Fonts dialog appears to override the Font Management tool dialogs that allow users to manage fonts within the Application.
If you use Suitcase Fusion, there is a simple configuration change needed:
1. close the Missing Fonts window
3. go to the Type menu and select "Suitcase Fusion 5".
3. From the submenu, choose "Library" and then check "All Libraries" so all fonts can be auto-activated as needed
4. from the Type menu, select "Suitcase Fusion 5" again, and then "Check Document’s Fonts" to activate the missing fonts,
If the font is being managed by Suitcase, it will find and update the fonts.
In FontExplorer, if your managed fonts are not visible in InDesign after upgrading to InDesign 9.2
Go to FontExplorer/Tools and select
1. Clean System Font Caches (this will require a system reboot)
2. Clean Application Font Caches
On non-Mavericks systems, you will need to de-activate and then reactivate font protection. Launch a terminal window and enter
sudo atsutil fontprotection -off
Then enter
sudo atsutil fontprotection -on
Relaunch InDesign. your managed fonts should now be visible and auto-activation should work.
The fonts can always be activated from within the Font Management software itself, even with the missing fonts dialog open.
The InDesign team is looking into the issue to determine the root cause as well; our apologies for any inconvenience it causes in the meantime.
Cheers,
Benjamin

How can I turn off the delivery of mail when I turn on the program. I want it wait until I click the get mail button before it brings the mail over

I do not want the program to bring over my mail until I click the get mail button. I look at my mail on my providers site and delete the item I do not want to look at before going to Thunderbird to actually read it. And I do not want to receive any mail that might come to me until I can determine if I want to read it first.

Disable 'Check for new messages at startup' in your Account Settings.

How can I turn off the variable width font when writing a message?

I have set up my email message file to use Arial 14 font. When starting a message (either original or reply) it defaults to this font. However, if at any time I move the curser with the mouse, mouse pad, the end key or an arrow key to a location to the right or below the text already typed, it automatically changes to the "variable width" font.
This requires me to manually change the font back to Arial, or backspace back to the last text typed with Arial Very, very annoying.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

How can i turn off passcode when the option is greyed out

You can't. Do you have an Exchange account on the phone? If so, the ability to disable the passcode can be restricted by a profile installed when setting up the Exchange account.

How can I turn off the images of avatars that post...

how can I turn off the images of avatars that post in this forum? they are annoying.

I think the avatar pictures help a lot to visually tell apart the different users participating. Pictures are way quicker to discern than user names are.
Do you want them removed because they distract you or you find certain ones disturbing (You can easily flag those to the moderation team)?

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple?

How can I turn off location tracking by Apple? Is is possible to roll the software back prior to Apple installing location tracking? I am very unhappy with this change by Apple. I know they probably included a reference to it in one of the user agreements, but this should have been clearly stated and offered a way to opt out. Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.

Yeah, I do see your point. I personally feel perfectly safe using my iPhone wherever I go however I would consider that my usage is a lot less than the average user. I've had the phone for a year and have only made a total of 5 hours worth of calls and have only taken it out of my city one or twice. So for me I don't see any privacy concerns.
From reading the privacy statement though it seems that Apple are adamant that the collection of the geographical data etc is 99% personal information free. They use the term "non-personal information" and for that 1% where someone's personal information does somehow become mingled with their geographical location/movements etc Apple state that this information would be handled as though it was your credit card details or your social security number etc until such time as it's no longer combined.
"If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined."
But, I do agree with the fact that Apple really should have made us more aware of this. Instead we have found out through scientists and their research... that, coupled with the fact that no other smartphone collects this information hasn't helped either.
I will continue to use my iPhone as normal though... I am personally confident in Apple's commitment to privacy. I know not all share this view and that's fine. We all have our own perceptions of the implications of technology...
To answer your question about rolling back your software though that can be done. Might be a bit of a headache though and I'm not the best person to help with that. I'm sure there's some good information here though. Good luck!

HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
Thanks!

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.
