How can I turn off the annoying yellow boxes that have started appearing?

It seems that recently I have started having annoying yellow boxes appearing when I hover over thing in the finder window. This is something that I didn't have going on in the previous 3 versions of Mac OS X.
Here's an example...
How can I get rid of them?

This appears to be a third party extention of some sort with the bright yellow background?  Start there if you modified.

  • 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 the pop up message that shows up 3 times everytime I print

    Every time I print whether a new cartridge has been installed or not, I get three pop up windows telling me the black, then the tri-color and the black again have been installed successfully. i have to click thru each one to be able to print.  How can I turn this off.

    What printer are you using?
    What OS do you have?
    Does it give a program name when it pops up, or does it just give you that message and a couple of options to choose from?

  • [SOLVED] How can I turn off the annoying auto indent tabs in VIM?

    I'm coding in Python and VIM is auto-tabbing each new line.  It's a real buzz kill.
    When I hit enter at the left margine, even when there is nothing on the line above the cursor, it shoots out a tab and three spaces.  I've switched to nano but feel lost without VIM.  I've never seen this behavior before.  I've turned off all of the auto indentation options I can think of.
    ***** begin .vimrc *****
    set noautoindent
    set nosmartindent
    set noindentexpr
    set nocindent
    ***** end .vimrc *****
    Thanks!
    [UPDATE]
    I wish I could delete this post.  ... anyway...  the solution was:
    set indentexpr=''

    Unfortunately, I have to do a ":set indexexpr='' " each time I start VIM.  I've got it in the .vimrc but it seems to be ignored.
    I'm used to Ubuntu and this feels really weird.  It's like profiles aren't processed.
    I would appreciate it if somoeone would point me in the correct direction.

  • How do I turn off the feature in iTunes that automatically starts up iTunes when I press the mic button on my headphones?

    Okay, so I guess the mic button in my headphones is broken and so it acts like I have pressed it even though I have not. So everytime I have my head phones plugged in itunes shows up and everytime I try close out or pause iTunes, it just starts right back up again and I have to do this constantly. My temporary solution was to just turn my iTunes volume all the way down but it still pops up with notifications that says a song is playing. It is gettin annoying because I cannot watch Netflix or anything else without getting itunes pop ups.  I was just wondering if there was any way to disable the feature?

    The mic button is probably sending a signal (or command) that works like a keyboard shortcut to open the app.
    System Preferences>Keyboard - under the Shortcuts tab, clear ANY iTunes shortcuts that appear in the list.

  • How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

    Howdy,
    I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
    See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference.  Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

  • Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

    Thanks

    Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
    In response to the original problem:
    I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
    tell application "Contacts"
              set thePeople to selection
              repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                        set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                        if theDate is not missing value then
                                  set the year of theDate to 1604
                                  set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                        end if
              end repeat
    end tell
    copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

  • How can I turn off the green light indicator on my AirPort Express?

    How can I turn off the green light indicator on my AirPort Express? It really annoys me.

    The Zed,
    You have two options and you probably won't like any of them.
    Using the Airport Utility, click on the AE then "Base Station", then "Options". That will bring up two options for you AE green light, either keep it green at all times or only light up when it is being used.
    The second option is put some tape over it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i turn off the shake to undo

    how can i turn off the shake to undo button? it annoys me. i don't even shake my phone, but  it always pop out. please help me

    Your question really has nothing to do with AirPort networking and the products that we support in this forum.....the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule pictured below:
    You will likely receive a must faster and more informed answer if you post your iPhone question in the iPhone support forum linked just below:

    The last time that we checked, the "shake to undo" feature could not be defeated, but maybe things have changed in that regard.

  • How can I turn off the daily nagging about software updates?

    How can I turn off the daily nagging about software updates?
    I am _very_ annoyed at having to answer this every day, day after day after day.

    Thanks, PJRS.
    But if I'm reading that right, the only way to get the nagging to stop is to accept all the download that Software Downloads suggest. 
    Quite often it pertains only to software I never use. In these cases, I'm not interested in downloading it.
    And also -- if I'm understanding that document -- I have to respond every time the nagging drops down (at least once per day).
    99% of the time I have no desire to download the suggested software.
    In ANY case, it is outrageous that the software resorts to harassing a customer without at least a readily visible means to turning it off
    SO -- please let me know what I'm misunderstanding -- thanks..

  • How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

    hi,
    1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
    calls.
    2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
    api/ur api..
    thanks

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset?

    I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.
